Our family stayed in Clare’s apartment for 7 weeks (2 adults and 2 kids). The apartment was in a perfect location for us. Walking distance to beaches, the zoo, Waikiki, and shops. Having a gym, pool, and turf area to run around were great too. It was easy to catch the bus nearby and we also appreciated having a parking spot for when we had a car. Clare was a wonderful host. Communication was very easy from start to finish. The apartment had anything and everything we could ask for… kitchen utensils, house supplies, etc. Clare clearly put great care into preparing the place for us with a new rug, new tv, fresh towels and sheets, supplies and welcome gifts. Beds were very comfy! And the unobstructed view of Diamond Head from the living room and lanai is so beautiful!! The pictures do not do it justice. Thank you Clare for a great stay!

Condo is well furnished, comfortable, updated and includes everything for a short or longer term stay. View of Diamond Head is amazing, and very short walk to the beach. Clare is a gracious host, gives excellent recommendations, and helped us with any questions we had. Planning on returning next year, as this condo and location was perfect for us.
Mahalo!

Our family had a wonderful time at Clare's place in Waikiki. It was nice to have a little room to spread out, it was convenient to get to everywhere we wanted to go, and the view of Diamond Head was amazing. She warned us that the building needed a bit of rehab work (the hallways especially were a bit drab and were being repaired after a recent water issue) but the lobby and especially the pool area were fine. Inside the unit was perfect - very clean and well kept.

We enjoyed a wonderful 10 day stay in Clare's condo, it is in a great location and is so well looked after. Clare is a fabulous host, she put a personal touch on everything and we felt very well taken care of. The condo itself is well laid out, everything worked and we had no issues. It's small but was perfect for our family of four to come and go and have a nice place to relax and come back to after a busy day. We had family staying in other units and they always wanted to come to ours as it was the best. If we come back to Waikiki, we would definitely stay here again.

Thanks for your hospitality. We really had good vacation even though hurricane lane came and weather was not nice.

This was our first time my family and I visited the beautiful state of Hawaii. My father was stationed at Pearl Harbor, so we took a family vacation to visit him. All I can say is the pictures displayed in the ad does not do this vacation rental justic!
The first responses my family and myself expressed when we walked into the unit was amazement. From the Cleanliness right down to the view of the view of the mountain off the balcony was breath taking! Clare herself was beyond wonderful. She was so helpful at assisting any questions we had whether it was as simple as how to work the television or as complex as to a recommendation to eat for dinner! The best part of this vacation unit is the convenience of the location. We were walking distance away from the beach, Waikiki strip, bars, ABC store, clothing stores, etc. Over all, Clare definitely made our stay here memorable and extraordinary!!! 💜 Thank you Clare

Clare is a wonderful hostess; she is full of helpful information and has outfitted this condominium with many handy items (beach chairs and towels, hairdryer, kitchen items so that you can really cook, etc.) that are rarely provided in other places that I have stayed. The location is wonderful if you like the convenience of being on Waikiki but plan to explore other parts of the island and want to be close to a "real" grocery store (less than 5 minutes away by car). On occasion, you may have to wait for an elevator. Most of the time, they arrive quickly, but if you have a tight timetable, it is wise to allow yourself some time to wait. This is not a glamorous building but the condominium is well-kept, clean, well-equipped (other than no dishwasher), and a provided our party of 3 a wonderful, relaxing home-base for a great vacation. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a delightful Christmas vacation, thanks to Clare and her lovely unit. The location was ideal - within walking distance to everything in Waikiki, (and a convenient bus stop for other places) but not so close that the noise was an issue. Also, the free parking was such a bonus! I've paid $30/day for parking in the past. Everything we could have needed was there - including a citrus juicer! I need to do a lot of cooking while away from home due to a restrictive diet, and it was a joy to cook here.
Clare is such an incredibly thoughtful host! She communicates clearly from the start with her explanation of the location and amenities so there are no surprises, and comes to replace linens and clean regularly. So much better than a hotel, and the best VRBO I've been in.
We were a party of three - my husband and myself with our 22-year old son. Our older son is an island resident, and lives just a few blocks away. We used Clare's condo as our refuge and rendezvous spot. I unfortunately brought a bad cold with me, and was able to rest very comfortably the first few days while the guys were out surfing , hiking, scuba diving, and doing their other assorted guy stuff. I particularly enjoyed watching the changing view from the lanai at different times of day.
Clare has assembled a binder of useful information for her guests with menus and island highlights, along with local magazines full of current events.
Incredible customer service from a warm host.
Thank you so much Clare -- we'll be back!! It's great to have a home to return to when we visit our son.
ps-- the price is very reasonable!!!

Clare was so welcoming and very helpful. The condo was lovely and clean and very comfortable. For a family this condo is perfect. The location was close to everything and all the little extras a great bonus. Clare made us feel so special and her knowledge was a great bonus. The price was also very reasonable. Mahalo Clare❤️

Thank you once again for accomdating my family in your outstanding apartment. I highly recommend this apartment to everyone. Clare is an absolute pleasure to deal with & her apartment has everything you could possible need. The apartment is immaculate. This was our second stay & I wouldn't hesitate to book again. My family consisted of 1 adult 4 children (ages 11,10,8 & 3) & we all fitted comfortably. Car parking inclusion was an additional bonus. Only a straight 2min walk (1 block) from Waikiki beach at the quite end of town. Mini-mart in the hotel or 3min drive to Safeway. You just can't go past this apartment.

The house owner Clare is very responsile and experienced to assist us on travel planning. She sent travel kit to us week ahead so that we can plan daily activity and commute easily. I also got lots good suggestions from Clare on my car rental and local tour arrangement. While we lived in the condo, Clare nicely helped us to communicate with garage attendent so that we not need to pay parking fine again while we parked in wrong place. Whenever we have question or issue locally, Clare always offered to support and let us feel safe and easy to live locally.
Clare's house is so close to beach, my kids and parents-in-law just walked 5 minutes to beach so that they enjoyed this trip very much. This house is more beautiful than the pictures showing on homeaway website, the beds are comfortable and the rooms are quiet during night. Since it is close to laundry room, it was also time flexible for us to wash swimming cloths at any time. Clare prepared enough beach towels, very clean shower towels, and all the kichen stuff. It really like to stay at home. We cooked breakfast everyday, and got suggestion to try local food from Clare too. Clare helped us to change shower towels during the mid day, she lived block away and can be reached via message/call whenver we need.
Thanks a lot for Clare's support for our vacation stay, we look forward to returning Honolulu for more longer stay next time.

First off, Clare was really great and accommodating in setting up the Condo on somewhat of a last minute reservation. Had to find a place three weeks before arrival during a very high season on the last week of December. Very easy to communicate and helpful and within a few days, I was able to setup the reservation with her. Upon arrival, Clare let us drop off our luggage early, then once we came back and into the condo, we were not disappointed...the condo was great! Furniture was modern, condo was very clean, really great view of Diamond Head, my nephew loved Roku with access to Netflix and she even had fruits and chocolate for us to snack on. The condo was big enough for all of us and the location was also great...so close to Waikiki beach and all the shops and stores along the strip. It was also great that we didn't pay additional fees for parking considering other places were charging so much just to park at their lot on a nightly basis. Definitely a great visit and stay at the condo...I'm definitely going to be a repeat customer!

My sister and I stayed here with our husbands for two weeks and fell in love with this property. The listing information doesn't quite do the property justice as the amenities and appearance is actually more modern than the pictures show. The place was spotless, not only when we arrived but throughout our stay as Clare provided a very through linen and cleaning regime. Nothing was a bother for this wonderful woman - she truly wishes people to experience her Waikiki and is extremely helpful in pointing out some of the lesser known aspects of this little piece of paradise. Everything we could want was provided - even down to condiments in the kitchen, spare sunblock in the bathroom and many other aspects that made us feel like we were staying in an old friends home. We would certainly arrange a return visit should that become a possibility and Clare you will always be welcome in Aotearoa/ New Zealand (and the surfing down in the bottom of the South Island is pretty good too!)

Clare is an amazing lady, answering all my emails and even calling by phone to make sure we were ready to go. We arrived after 11pm and she met us at the entrance to the underground parking. She was always there to phone if needed.
The photos of the condo do not begin to show how beautiful it really is. We felt so at home in Clare's place and she left a basket of local goodies and condiments in the fridge. All kitchen cupboards are stocked with regular daily items. On the beautiful Lanai tucked away are boogie boards, chairs and towels for the beach ready to go. Laundry and trash just outside the door (with NO hotel noise ever noticed). The room was cool, clean and comfortable! We enjoyed every morning watching the sun come up over Diamond Head sipping on a cup of Hawaiian coffee!
Thanks again Clare for a FABULOUS first vacation and we hope to come back soon!

Clare has made our stay very enjoyable by welcoming us to her home which was very well decorated, clean, and comfortable. She has also went out of her way to fill us up with goodies in the fridge, coffee, fruits, and snacks. It was beyond our expectations. Thanks very much again Clare. We'll definitely be back here next time we are in town.
