If you are looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay outside of the bustle of Waikiki, this is it. The guest house is located 5 minutes from stores and dining, and the location makes for a great home base for exploring the island. Claudia and Kevin were wonderful hosts and I wouldn't hesitate to stay with them again!

Immaculately clean, private, well-supplied, and comfortable rental with incredible views and in a peaceful, convenient location. You will need a rental car to get around the island if you stay here. We could not have asked for a better "home-base" while visiting the beuatiful island of Oahu. Communication was fast and accurate. Claudia is truly delightful and attentive. She made great recommendations on places to eat. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Cheerful, private, clean and nicely-furnished apartment. Hosts are friendly and accommodating. Apartment is located on a ridge, and overlooks Koko Crater, the ocean, and the neighborhood of Hawaii Kai. Excellent and convenient dining and shopping nearby, but you definitely do need a car.

The location is perfect. Easy to access. Not too far from the airport, Waikiki, beaches, stores or other places of interest but yet in a remote, safe and quiet neighborhood. The view is absolutely stunning. The apartment is well-kept, clean, and equipped with all the essentials. Claudia and Kevin were fantastic hosts.

This is a sweet little unit for our week-long stay. Very clean, every cooking utensil we needed was provided and in very good condition. The location was convenient to shopping, but most other activities are a drive away, which was not a problem. Navigation is easy on the island. We appreciated Claudia's friendliness and approachability. She is very welcoming and provided a lot of good information for us upon check-in.

This is a great place well away from the crowds and traffic of Waikiki. We used it as a base to explore the island and it was perfect. The stores are only 5 minutes drive away, and there is easy access to the coastal roads. The apartment is well equipped and very comfortable. A separate entrance ensures privacy and we certainly would consider going back if we return to Oahu.

The location, view, amenities, Claudia, and cleanliness of the space made this stay perfect! No complaints at all. I usually feel the need to wipe things down or clean a little as soon as we get to a rental, but not here, this was so clean and I felt completely comfortable!

The property was perfect for our stay while visiting family that live in Hawaii Kai. It was clean & comfortable with all the necessary kitchen equipment for making meals. Claudia was easy to communicate with.The location is in a quiet neighborhood with spectacular views. There are a number of stairs to the front door with good lighting and handrails. It is a short driving distance to a shopping area for food. We would definitely stay here again.

The property is spotless, peaceful, relaxing, quiet...and the views are endlessly epic. Claudia is a super hostess! I cannot think of a single thing that we needed or wanted, because Claudia made sure every item you could possibly need or want was there for you: From kitchen gadgets to bathroom supplies, to beach towels to a drying rack outside. Our stay was fabulous!

This property was perfect for our stay. It had everything we needed and more. Close to nice shops and restaurants. Claudia was very helpful and very knowledgeable of the island. She gave us tips and helped us with everything we needed. Definitely will stay here on our next trip to Oahu!

This property is amazing! Private entrance with breathtaking views! The location is 10 minutes outside of the hustle of Honolulu and Waikiki. Claudia was very friendly and informative. She gave us a restaurant suggestion (Roy's) our first night. It was top rate! We made reservations for our last night as well. Thank you for a lovely landing spot after our long days of exploring Oahu.
