After years of savings, this summer was the summer to make good on my 23 year promise and bring my family of 6 to Oahu to see Hawaiian history and to meet their uncle. However, I found it very difficult to locate something within our budget for housing; I needed 5 beds, near Waikiki, and access to the beach. After eliminating multiple hotel rooms due to cost and places on the far side of the island due to distance, I ran across Gary's Hawaii Vacation Rentals. In short, it was a blessing. Our room was half the cost of the hotel room, a straight 4 min walk to the beach, private parking, a secured lobby, and on top of a well-known restaurant. The condo security personnel were overwhelmingly polite and helpful. We woke up to a perfect top floor view of Waikiki beach waking up. The sun was at our backs at all times so we never had a heated patio or glares to deal with. The family took in night swims at the beach after the daily tourist left, we enjoyed the convenience of the ABC stores right on the corner, and based all our daily trips with no stress. This place was clean, light, well maintained … it was perfect for us. Merry was our point person to work with in arranging our stay and making sure our needs were met; she never missed a beat and made the process so easy and pleasurable we won’t be looking for anyone else to work with in the future. My family and I cannot say enough about the location, the price, and the people at Gary's Hawaii Vacation Rentals. Thank Merry!
