"I searched through many vacation rentals on-line for the months leading up to my vacation. The important factors for me in choosing a vacation rental was security, cleanliness, and cost. After weighing all my options, I decided on the StayInWaikiki's condos. Little did I know, I received more than I had hoped for. The unit was clean and was fully furnished with kitchen utensils. I saved money by cooking in my unit instead of eating out every night. The building was secure as guests required an access key to enter the building. In addition, the parking structure closes every night and people who want to park inside have to inform the front desk to open the gate. Furthermore, there was a pool and jacuzzi overlooking Waikiki Beach. My particular unit had a partial ocean view, which was beautiful to wake up to every morning. I would also relax on the spacious lanai and watch people walk to Kalakaua (the main street). The condo also has laundry facilities that are equipped with timers, so that you can check when the cycles are finished.

The location of StayInWaikiki's condos was extremely convenient. It's a few short blocks from the beach and the Duke statue. It's also close to the part of the beach where the beachboys teach people how to surf. On days that I didn't have a car, I could walk around Waikiki without overexerting myself. The eastbound Bus stopped across the street from my condo, and the westbound Bus stopped one short block away.

The employees at the hotel are very friendly and have the true aloha spirit. From the moment I arrived, they were very helpful to me. I asked about where locals ate and shopped (to save more money because Waikiki is more expensive). They told me about the grocery stores, kama'aina food, and even the nightlife. They also called taxi cabs for me whenever I needed one. I got along with them very much that I would sometimes go downstairs and "talk story" with the front desk.

Thomas and his other partners with StayInWaikiki were incredibly helpful as well. If there was a need in the unit, Thomas and his partners were quick to make sure everything was acceptable.

I wanted an enjoyable, no-stress vacation, and I got exactly that! All my needs and more were met while I stayed there. In fact, when I had different visitors from the mainland come for a few days at a time, they were all impressed at the quality and the convenience of the condo. I would definitely use StayInWaikiki's vacation rentals again!"
