“First rate all the way” This location goes beyond all expectations. Everyone visiting Hawaii has preconceived ideas and expectations, this condo goes well beyond what you are expecting. I highly suggest this triple a location and enjoy the area! Fabulous

“Kelly's Property Description Is Spot On.” Excellent property in a great location. Easy walk to either Waikiki beach or ala Moana Park.Thank you so much to the owner Kelly, she always replied promptly to all emails and was very professional. I have to admit I was a little nervous booking something online but I can promise the condo is just like the pictures. Everything was clean and spotless and the murphy bed was very comfy, the beautiful kitchen is full equiped. Thanks again Kelly and we can't wait to come back again!

“Very enjoyable, relaxing and peaceful amongst the local people not in the rat race of touristy Waikiki.” We did not rent a car and used the local bus system to travel everywhere which was great but time consuming. The accommodation is at least an hour from Honolulu and Waikiki so travelling on a bus late at night is not ideal, however the bus does stop outside the condo complex. The condo facilities are comfortable with access to 2 pools, it is on the 3rd floor with stair access only which is hard with heavy luggage, however being higher up means there are sea views and the benefit of fresh breezes. We found the owner friendly and approachable.

“Great” We arrived late after 3 weeks in usa mainland, where we did not stop. Getting our keys and into theunit was so easy. It was so close to get to everything from the unit. We had a family of five and with the sofa bed out it was quite tight. Maybe not so many little tables and trinkets. But that would be our only complaint. Everything was just as the photos showed and a great place for a family. We went and did food shopping at safeway, but then found Wallmart cheaper. Thanks heaps for having us

“The sound of the waves, right outside your door, are like a lull” We had a "rough time" getting here (mechanical problems with the plane, canceled flight, etc.) but the cottage soothed our tired souls! We found the drum of the waves to be the best lullaby and the fresh air and abundant sunshine to renew our spirits. We appreciated the personal art on the walls and the large open space. For folks who enjoy cooking with local produce, the well stocked kitchen, the large number of pots/pans/utensils, and the full sized refrigerator are perfect. There was plenty of hot water in the shower (and good water pressure!), the furniture was comfortable (brought back memories of beach houses from our childhood), and the large counter surface in the "dressing room" was perfect for all of our "stuff". We used the outdoor patio table for several breakfasts and dinners, watched a neighbor vacationer fish from the sea wall, and took daily walks on the nearly deserted beach. There were many informative books in the cottage along with maps, Dvds, etc. We used the guide books but were too busy enjoying Oahu to need any other form of entertainment! Although we have traveled extensively in the past few years, this was our first trip to Hawaii. We have already recommended the cottage to family and friends - thank you, Peter, for sharing your wonderful home.

“17 great days” Firstly, dealing with Kevin is not just professional, but friendly and helpful. The whole communication, payment and access process was great. The main room is large by Waikiki standards. I did not cook but it was great to have knives and dishes when I cut up the pineapples. I could check-in early so that was an added advantage, and the condo was spotless. Would happily stay there again, yes sometimes its a bit noisy but Waikiki is not a quiet city, no matter where you stay. Mahalo Kevin

“Perfect Location... The "Real" Hawaii” Being from New Hampshire, Hale Malaekahana reminded me of a Lake House dropped on a perfect stretch of Hawaiian beach, close to the North Shore of Oahu. If you're looking for marble floors and granite counters, stay in Waikiki...if you want a true feel for the "Country" of Hawaii, grab a week or more at Hale Malaekahana!! The house and kitchen were very well equipped for anything that you would need, including surf boards, life jackets, beach chairs/mats, snorkel gear and a Webber Grill for grilling up some of the fresh caught fish that you can get from the locals. Forget about the pricey restaurants in Honolulu, experience the local garlic shrimp and Huli chicken along the route, you'll be glad you stayed up here!! Nothing more relaxing than falling asleep to the sound of the waves and waking early to an awesome sunrise and coffee on the beach. Stan and Marcia ( although we didn't meet them personally) were very responsive to e-mails and calls during the booking process and our rental went off without a hitch. They even graciously accommodated our request for a late check-out on departure day as we had a late flight and we wanted to soak up every minute of Sun we could out front on the beach!!

“Beautiful Waikiki” Great location, central waikiki, close to everything, beaches, restaurants, grocery shopping, entertainmwnt. The most beautiful view from the large lanai, beach chairs, boogie boards. Very quiet unit on the 30th floor. LOVE the warm water pool. Definitely want to come back soon and stay longer.

“Relaxing stay in Punalu'u” Our family stayed in condo #401, it was perfect and exceeded our expectations. The condo has everything you need and more. We had an incredible vacation. The condo has a gorgeous view of the ocean and a big, comfy balcony to sit on and enjoy the view! It's just a short walk across the lawn to the water. The condo itself is lovely and clean with a complete kitchen, not lacking anything a cook would need. We had a lot of meals in the condo and that helps too if you're on a special diet or just want to save on meals. The beds are very comfortable too! It's the perfect place for a family with kids to stay, everything you need is there, even a washer and dryer! Punalu'u is serene and beautiful. We plan on returning soon!

“Great location at an affordable price!” This little condo was perfect for our needs. The location served as the perfect place for me to experience Waikiki for the first time. Just a short walk to Waikiki beach, Dukes, Island Vintage coffee, and shopping. We really only used the room for showers and sleeping (3 days 2 nights) so the size was just fine. If the stay was longer I would have preferred a more conventional kitchen with a range but we ended up eating out for the most part. Mark was great, very accessible by phone and took care of a little hiccup with the cleaner timely and professionally. I would absolutely stay here again for short trips to Waikiki!

“This studio is perfect!” This studio is perfect! The location of this studio is great, can't ask for much more in Waikiki. The beach is just down the street, a lot of shopping, restaurants and general tourist attractions. Plus if you're renting a car parking is free! Niko was great in working with us and he's done an awesome job at accommodating guests by providing many things to make anyones stay a pleasant one. Niko even provides accessories for going to the beach, which was very helpful. I'd recommend this studio to anyone visiting Waikiki. August 2013

“Great stay at the Ilikai” Perfect for a couple and nice and modern! Location was great with the Hilton right next door and the trolleys right out the front.

“EXCEPTIONNEL” HI Our stay was great on a beautiful island paradise, people of a free kindness and in regards to housing we didn't lack nothing all was at the location height, downtown with many nice shops I recommend it. Thanks again Nin
