Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Vintage Hawaiian décor -- including lovely teak furniture and vibrant pops of color -- welcomes you to an authentic Honolulu vacation. The 2BR configuration is perfect for a small family or friends traveling together. Within walking distance to many Honolulu highlights, including legendary Waikiki Beach, the Honolulu Zoo, the Aquarium and lots more. Just minutes from downtown, too!

Enjoy the best of Honolulu! Your home-away-from-home is ideally located just minutes to downtown, with views of stunning Diamond Head from the front yard. If traveling with kids, Paki Playground and Community Park is practically in your backyard.

Ready to check out the waves? You’re just an easy 15-minute walk to Waikiki Beach. Stretch out on the sand for a day of relaxation or stroll along the shore and take in the views from the end of the Waikiki Wall. Animal lovers are also a quick walk to both the Honolulu Zoo (12 minutes on foot) and the Waikiki Aquarium (a 20-minute walk). History buffs won’t want to miss a trip to Pearl Harbor, just a 25-minute drive.

Enjoy a cold drink and Pacific breezes at the bistro table on the front porch while the smell of dinner wafts from the nearby barbeque. From your tropically landscaped front yard, you can enjoy views of stunning Diamond Head.

Inside, you’ll find rich hardwood floors and delightful vintage Hawaiian décor. Relax in the technology-free living room; stretch out on the teak sofa and matching chair and catch up over cold drinks. The bistro table for two is a nice spot for a morning cup of Kona coffee. Prepare tasty home-cooked meals in the bright kitchen, outfitted with gray tile floors and classic white cabinetry. A new stove and refrigerator make cooking a breeze. Chop veggies and tropical fruit at the island while kids sit at the two-person counter to sample the goods.

In the evening, enjoy Pacific breezes from your front porch with a bench and two-person table. Sleep soundly in your primary bedroom, furnished with a queen bed. Enjoy a movie night on the flat-screen TV. Both bedrooms have A/C units to ensure a comfortable stay. The bathroom features a retro black and white tile floor, subway tile walls, and a tub/shower combination.

Extra perks at your rental include complimentary Wi-Fi and a washer/dryer.

I rented this property out for 39 days. Basically there isn’t a whole lot of you should expect here. It’s a very small place that is overpriced. Location is nice to Waikiki but next to a park that has a lot of homeless individuals on drugs. Customer service would receive 0 stars if available.

Great location, off street parking was a plus, washer and dryer also a plus. Cute house close to Diamond Head, Zoo, Aquarium, public Beach, restaurants and shops. When the fence broke, it was immediately fixed. We will definitely be back!

This is a beautifully renovated little cottage, really tasteful interior decor. Location is perfect for a walk to cafes and the beach. It’s small but very functional for our little family of four. The porch is lovely to hang out on and the wifi is fast. It could be perfect but just misses the mark on a few little things. Kitchen is supposed to be ready to use but there was no salt or no cooking oil. Towels need replacing as they are very worn. Shower curtain needs replacing. Only one roll of kitchen paper towels and one box of tissues supplied for our 3 week stay. These are all minor negative things but they are the kind of thing that other short term rentals get right. We will happily stay here again, hopefully they can make those small improvements.

This was a very cute place to stay... We would stay here again. Perfectly located for a nice walk to the beach, downtown Waikiki, as well as diamond head. Only downside was there was a lot of road noise as well as the rooster's enjoying themselves at 3:30am.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is great, but when you arrive to discover that the shower has no handle and that you have to turn it on and off with a screwdriver and that you cannot really adjust the temperature with said screwdriver you can imagine my disappointment. Turnkey thought I was being ridiculous for expecting a working shower. They would not give me a response about a refund of my money until the next day because, "I'm not authorized to make that decision." And apparently no one was authorized to make that decision until the following day. I cannot believe that any of that wasn't intentional because at that point they were only going to give us half our money back. We arrived on a Tuesday. The shower was not fixed until Friday. We left Sunday morning. Turnkey is awful!

Stayed here for marathon weekend. Perfectly placed on the edge of Kapiolani park yet close to the beach and the tourist crush of Waikiki. Comfortable, clean, homey.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed here for a long weekend in December. It was a much better option than staying at any of the tiresome Waikiki resorts, yet it's close enough to Wade into the tourist fray if you wish. Clean, comfortable and reasonably quiet, we were able to get quickly to the event in Kapiolani park yet go home to make simple meals in the nicely equipped kitchen. There also are some good eats within a short walk.

If you enjoy the city life this is a great place to stay. Within walking of great park and shops. This cute property was furnished with vintage items (even some of the dishes). We really enjoy antiques so we loved the interior. The overgrowth of the vegetation in the driveway makes it a real challenge to park and get in and out of the car. I am elderly and the older bathtub was a scary endevor for me. No grab bars and the sides of the tub sloped so that there was very little flat footing on the bottom of tub. If you have any balance issues or slight handicap, this would not be a good place to stay. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the world "go by". It is a very busy road and close to a fire station. If you have hearing aids or hearing issues this place would be tough to enjoy, but for most of our party it did not bother them. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

This cottage was perfect for our time in Honolulu. Easy to walk to San Souci beach, zoo, shell, aquarium and Hau Tree Lanai. We had some issues in the beginning that were resolved and communication with the local manager and Turnkey was prompt and responsive. The house is vintage and we really loved the Hawaiiana decor and attention to detail. I hope to stay again soon. Thanks for the Starbucks gift card and please consider including a working coffee maker in the home for future visits!!

The property turned out to be better than what it looks on the pictures. Very spacious, meticulously clean. All the amenities are well maintained. The key thing about this property is its location. Whether you are planning to explore Waikiki or drive around the island, it is placed in a prime spot. For any of my friends and relatives traveling to Oahu, I would definitely recommend this property. Especially, when you are renting a car. Escape the crazy valet charges and resort fees of staying at any of the leading hotels in Oahu. Instead, drive around, go to all different beaches, do the hikes or the excursions. Oh, and you can look at Diamond head from the front porch too.

This home was perfect for our stay, and the rooms feel bigger than what you see online. It’s newly updated and feels that way, with a/c units in both the bedrooms (this was not common in my experience renting in Hawaii!) there were beach towels for our use which was a nice touch, what we appreciated most of all was the location which was incredible - walking distance to the zoo, Waikiki beach, and the stores and shops on Monsarrat Ave (check out the adorable shaved ice stand). The owner, Juan, lives in the unit behind the house and is super friendly with great food recommendations if you need them. Turnkey is also super available if you have questions. We would rent here again when in Oahu.

Our stay at this home was amazing. There is plenty of parking in the drive way in case it's needed. Each room has it's own AC unit and the kitchen has all the appliances, and silverware needed. The property had all the amenities listed, towels, sheets, washer and dryer, etc. The property has been recently upgraded and was very clean and tidy. Short walk to Waikiki beach and shops and quiet neighborhood. I'd recommend this place to any family wanting to stay near Waikiki and also be in a safe quiet location.
