We stayed in Marie and Stan's rental condo for six weeks this past winter. We enjoyed it very much, the location was wonderful as was the condo, very clean and in very good condition. Marie and Stan were just super people and we enjoyed meeting them. I would not hesitate to recommend this condo to anyone wishing to spend time in Waikiki.

We booked the condo in the spring of 2007. We were very pleased with the quick replies to our emails and questions. We had stayed numerous times in the building before at other units so we were familiar with it. We just returned from our trip in 2008 and were happy with the condo. It was very clean and comfortable. It was nice to stay in a unit without wiping out the dresser drawers first. The boxed treats and card left on the pillow when we arrived was also a nice touch. Too bad Stan and Marie couldn't do anything about all the rain we had!

I stayed in Marie's apartment for two weeks and I found it delightful, beautiful views and the photo's I took of a COMPLETE RAINBOW from the roof were absolutely not repeatable,I had never seen it before, will try to put one on. All the facilities are nearby,the the sauna was my favourite followed by the pool and whirlpool. Restaurants, night life and beautiful beaches. Marie and Stan were really wonderful hosts and I hope to go back there again very soon.The apartment is really beautifully equipped and extremely comfortable.

I spent two weeks in Waikiki this past summer. I had not rented from a private owner before, and I was very pleased with this condo--from the professional responses that I got with my first e-mail to the return of my security deposit. I hope to rent again from Aloha Family Properties on our next visit to the island. This is a quality condo, a great location, and the building amenties are unbeatable.


Koko Gardens: One of the less known hiking trails on Ohau is the Koko Gardens. This area has so many different kinds of plants and vegetation and is a quiet place to spend the day. Some of the many plants found are:
Cacti
Alluaudias
Sansevierias
Baobabs
Dryland Palms
Aloes
Euphorbias
Adeniums

Of special note is the native grove of wiliwili trees (Erythrina sandwicensis) found in the Hawaiian section.

KOKO CRATER BOTANICAL GARDEN is home to a collection of rare and beautiful plants from the tropical regions of the world. Some are rare or endangered in their native habitat. It is a cinder cone remaining from the last active volcano that occurred on O'ahu approximately 10,000 years ago. This crater is the tallest tuff ring in Hawaii, measuring 1,207 feet in height. The slopes of the crater drop steeply into the Molokai Channel, an area which lacks protection from any offshore reefs, causing very turbulent seas in this area.

We have never seen so many different nor such large Cacti. They grow in one whole section that is amazing both in the variety of plants and their individual size. This collection is amazing. This is a little known treasure on the island. From our experience, this park has few visitors and is one of the island's best kept secrets.
