One of the best views in a building known for its views! Mountains and park by day, Honolulu city lights by night.

I’m new to VBRO, so I’m discounting heavily until I can build up some reviews! I’m a “Superhost” on the other big platform and booked most nights quite far in advance. It might be hard to find an opening but I’ll make it worth your while☺️! I hear VRBO is a better system so I’d like to break in here.

My family is six generations deep in Hawaii. I live in California now and wanted to make a place in Hawaii that is both affordable and showcases the beauty of Hawaii. The principles of Aloha and Malama (tender, nurturing care) are real. Stay at my place and you’ll see😃🌴

I have one of the best cleaners in the building. She’s there six to seven days a week. The building also has a diligent 24/7 security staff which provides peace of mind for the families of very young or older travelers traveling alone. (Although I personally always feel safe in Waikiki🙂.)

I call my little place Hale Honu Kai, Home of the Sea Turtles🐢🌺🌴because my guests travel thousands of miles to stay. And just like a sea turtles’ home, it is small and cozy, with everything you need for an extended stay.

Hale Honu Kai is by the two western bridges into Waikiki. The Hawaii Convention Center is only a few blocks up the street. Just a little further is Ala Moana, the largest outdoor shopping center in America. In the other direction, you’ll find the main strip of Waikiki with its luxury stores from Prada to Dior to Harry Winston.

When you head to the BEACH I've got you covered! You'll find a beach wagon in the room full of everything you need. Pop-up sun shelter for sun protection while wave-watching, beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, boogie boards (2 adult and 2 children), snorkel masks (2 adult), sand toys, coloring books and crayons for the kids.

I also stock the room with a selection of books you are welcome to take home with you! (My background is in literature☺️.)

Waikiki beach is world famous for a reason and the world comes to Waikiki. You can meet all kinds of people, have the most interesting conversations! Everyone is relaxed and happy because they're all on vacation. The waves are small and well-formed, perfect for learning to surf on. (Please don't take my boogie boards to the North Shore in the winter; they'll snap in two!)

I know Hawaii, I know Waikiki. I have outfitted Hale Honu Kai with exactly what you need for a long or short visit🙂. Plus you get me: virtual travel guide☺️

Hale Honu Kai has a Queen bed plus a twin size futon foldaway AND a twin air bed (so I can sleep four in a pinch), a pack and play crib, an almost full-size refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, toaster, coffeemaker, rice cooker, AC, Smart TV, Netflix, Roku TV (which includes Live TV), WiFi. The WiFi is supposedly high speed, but I've heard for top techie types it's kind of slow. The little table is exactly the right height to work on a laptop. You'll get some good work done facing the window, looking up now and then to rest your eyes on the Ko'olau mountain range. Credit-card operated laundry machines on the 6th floor.

The room is small, only 247 square feet, and the building is dated (built in 1979), but that's what makes this space so affordable. You can relax knowing you're not paying an arm and a leg. I bought the room for the view:...
