Q: When is Check-in and Check-out?

A: Check-in is at 3:30 pm or later and Check-out is no later than 10:30 am. Early check-in and late check-outs can be arranged for a fee if the rental calendar permits, but we cannot make any guarantees. If you need a place to store your luggage before check-in or after checking out we recommend contacting a local Transport & Luggage Service company to make arrangements for them to drop off your luggage after check-in or pick it up after checkout.

Q: Why do your costs look different than I see on outside websites?

A: Many external websites are like bulletin boards and may not be up-to-date with our rental rates, may not advertise our current specials, may charge you an additional service fee, or combine the full cost of your rental into one lump sum rather than breaking down the booking charges for rent, cleaning fees, damage protection, taxes etc.

For the most accurate and best rates available, please always book with us directly via our website.

Q: Do you offer transportation to and from the airport?

A: No, please arrange your own transportation to and from the airport. Most of our guests use Uber, Lyft, The Taxi, The Bus, Turo, or Drive Hui. There are also independent transportation and shuttle services you can find on the web.

Q: Do I get daily cleaning services?

A: Your cleaning fee covers the cost of cleaning the property when you check out. A one-time Departure Cleaning Fee is added to each booking to cover the cleaning of your vacation rental upon checkout. There are no mid-stay cleanings or daily maid service.

Q: What is the difference between a Hotel and a Vacation Rental

A: When you rent a hotel room, you typically get a generic room with a bed and a bathroom, daily maid service, room service, on-site concierge, and other hotel or resort amenities, and sometimes it can be cheaper if you are only staying for a night or two. Guests reserve a type of room with a credit card and pay on departure.

Vacation Rental Condos are not standard like Hotel Rooms. Individual Owner tastes are reflected in the design and decoration of each unit. Renters reserve the condo of their choice, sign a rental agreement and pay in advance.

Generally, Condo rentals are for vacationers who are going to be independent and stay for 3 days or more. A vacation rental is usually more budget-friendly and you can stay more like a local, with a full kitchen or kitchenette to prepare meals and stock the fridge with snacks and beverages. Rentals have access to laundry facilities, there is more space for everyone in your travel party to relax - on a lanai or around a dining table and many units include free parking.

Vacation renters should also bear in mind that our Vacation rental staff is always willing to help you out, but we are not on-site like a hotel. Help in a hotel is usually right downstairs in the lobby. While we will respond to your call 24hrs a day, it might require a longer period to arrive than a hotel.

Q: Do you allow Pets?

A: No Pets are allowed on property unless the pet is ADA certified and the proper documentation of certification is provided to the Property Manager prior to confirmation of the reservation and accepted by the relevant Building AOAO.

Q: Can I receive mail at my Vacation Rental?

A: We ask that if you need to receive mail or a small package while staying with us, you may have it delivered to our office for pickup upon receipt. If you are staying longer than 30 days, we ask that you contact the Waikiki Post Office to receive mail during your stay.
Please be sure to address your mail or small packages exactly as follows:
