10/22/2020

Do not leave anything visible in your car. 

Don’t put anything in the trunk when stopping, they are watching you.

Just take what you need on your tour.

 Pali lookout – Scenic view of the Windward side of Oahu.

· Hanauma Bay lookout – Hawaii Kai

Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed in this area. The cove to the right of the blowhole is where a scene from “Here to Eternity” was filmed.

· Chinaman’s Hat / Koolau Beach Park – As you drive into Koolau Beach Park go to the very last parking lot (11 oclock).

As you face Chinaman’s Hat walk all the way to the right and you can see Kaneohe Bay. You can thank me later.

Kualoa Ranch – Horse back riding, ATV rides, movie set tours, Paniolo buffet. https://www.kualoa.com/.

Dole Plantation – Learn all about pineapples, take a train ride, feed 

The fish. https://www.doleplantation.com/

Best to check if the above mentioned are open due to Covid 19.

Extremely convenient location just off the heartbeat of Waikiki.....apartment is pretty quiet considering its location facing the main road. Being at the end of the hallway, it is extremely quiet within the building. The unit had all the facilities I needed, well equipped kitchen, bathroom and shower more than adequate and ability to open up the sliding doors to the lanai provides lots of fresh air. Well recommended.

Excellent host. Amazing location. Safe and well maintained building. Wonderful amenities. Great value. I comfortably worked remotely on the wifi with no issues. I loved all the cleaning supplies in the closet. I would stay here again. Feb 2021, John, New York, .............................................................

We had the best trip ever in Hawaii while staying in this place. Thanks Kent for everything!  Jan 2021, Kai from Seattle  .................................................................                                                                          The place was so welcoming and well-equipped, a true oasis in the world that we live in right now. The unit had all amenities I needed, so I had no worries during my two week quarantine. And once I was out of quarantine, I realized just how great the location of the unit is. Everything I need, within a 10 minute walk, from Waikiki beach to grocery stores, to great food places. The building is secured and safe, and the room itself is stylishly decorated and very comfortable. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to stay in downtown Waikiki!

 Kent's place has everything you could need for an extended stay in Waikiki. The bed was and furniture are comfort. The washer and dryer in the unit was so convenient. There are 3 convenient stores within a block and the beach is like 3 blocks away.   Since I stayed there in the middle of the covid-19 pandemic the pool and most other things were closed. That was ok though because the huge smart TV kept me occupied.

 Just got back from our 30day stay at Kent’s and I got to say, his place made our Hawaii vacation even more special. Very welcoming home with all the amenities one can wish for. We would definitely stay at Kent’s again, Cheers.

We eagerly searched for a place to spend a month vacation in Airbnb. It was lucky to finally find out and make a reservation to 'Hale Kuhio'.  'Hale kuhio' house was the same as the picture, had reserved parking space, and the location was so good. We could walk every day from condominium to the beach in Waikiki. There was everything we needed in the house. Kent`s house was so convenient to stay & more than our expectation! Also, whenever we asked the request, it was solved quite right away. There was a swimming pool in the condo and we had swam easily & comfortable. BBQ place was also handy, useful.  We already miss Hawaii and plan to book back to 'Hale Kuhio 'house when we go back to Hawaii!! Thanks, KENT.

 This is a place where you can spend a month in Hawaii without any inconvenience.  Close to the main street, you can walk anywhere.  Free parking saved travel expenses.  Finally, it was nice that the host responded quickly.  이곳은 하와이에서 한 달을 불편 함없이 보낼 수있는 곳입니다.  메인 스트리트와 가까운 곳이면 어디든 걸을 수 있습니다.  무료 주차 비용으로 여행 경비가 절약됩니다.  마지막으로 호스트가 신속하게 응답하는 것이 좋았습니다.

“Hale Kuhio has everything I   needed. Free parking (usually cost 30-35 in Waikiki), washer and dryer in   unit, amazing amenities (BBQ grill, jacuzzi, and swimming pool), and many   other amenities available in unit. When I asked Kent if I needed to bring anything,   he said nothing. I was skeptical at first, but he was telling me the truth.   Hale Kuhio is in Waikiki with close proximity to restaurants, grocery stores,   and world famous Waikiki Beach. Kent and his team made sure we are   comfortable and well taken care of. I would recommend this place especially   for people who wants to stay long. It's a paradise away from home, but like   your own home.”

• This place was amazing. The condo itself was much more than I expected. It had anything and everything you could possibly need in a home away from home. For example, cleaning supplies, beach accessories, office supplies and of course the washer and dryer. The location of the condo in the building was nice because it is away from all the foot traffic of the other condos. The central location was quiet and had decent views. My stay was perfect and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place In Honolulu!
