Clean room ; excellent just ; well equipped room with items to use hidden everywhere ! Nothing fancy but perfectly clean and a place to sleep while saving money on the Big Island !
You could show up with nothing but clothes and have more than enough. Sonya (the owner) explains everything in her texts and answers very quickly if you have a question or problem.Nice comfortable stay without breaking the bank.Charles
Excellent location, great pool with bbq grills, easy walk to the beach. Host is very responsive and the place is stocked with anything you might have forgotten. If you use the futon on top of the air mattress it makes for an amazing marshmallow extra bed. Has some kids stuff. Can’t say enough great things about the host.
The place was very clean, and the location is perfect. The host is very kind and super responsive. The extra available amenities were a big plus, especially the snorkeling gear and coffee maker. We even used the rice cooker and other utensils on our stay. Check in was easy, and we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much!!
The places so awesome!.The location, amenities are the stand out. Very proxy to the beach and pretty much had all facilities!. I would recommend this property for young couples considering the distance to the Waikīkī beach. Rental cars are easily accessible, that way you can explore the island!.

This was the perfect place for our family vacation. The view from the room is stunning and exactly what we were looking for. The room was very clean and cozy.
What makes this place extra special is the host, Sonya. She is so warm and responsive, making us feel like we were staying at a friend's home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable stay in Waikiki!
Location, view, and a very responsive host! Although the space is small, it is designed thoughtfully. The beach cart, umbrellas, and cooking implements are very helpful. One word of warning to the very tall: the ceilings are quite low.
Great small studio in the heart of Waikiki, easy to get to all the sights from here or just spend time at the beach. Great and *very* responsive host and cleaner! Had a great time there for six nights and got to see all the places I wanted to see and enjoy my time at the beach!

Aww, thank you, Y! I enjoyed having you😃! I try to make my little place affordable for people traveling alone because I know what that’s like. (Affordable for everyone else, too!) I want as many people as possible to know Hawaii, feel Hawaii is part of them. Sometimes it takes your breath away, doesn’t it? It’s that beautiful🙂😄🌺🌴
Everything was great. Sonya supplied lots of information up front. She responded to questions quickly. The apartment includes a kitchen which we didn’t use but nice to have the option. Room was clean and extreamly well stocked. She even has a buggy to haul toys, towels, sunscreen. Pop up tent and boogy boards to the beach. Excellent location, and great value. If we get back to Oahu we will plan far enough in advance to book this room again
I was traveling alone and this condo was perfect! Just was quick to respond to questions I had and checked in on me throughout my stay to make sure I had all I needed. Lots of information shared that I found helpful. Thank you

Thank you, Charmaine!! I only figured out how to find reviews on the app just now. I hope you come again! Hale Honu Kai is waiting for you😊🌺🌴♥️
Room was as described. Bed was very comfortable. Very convenient spot in walking distance to many places. Easy to do public transportation if you choose to use that. Food trucks were right across the street and had so many different varieties of food to choose from. We ate something different every night. It was perfect after a long day of touring , you can walk right across the street and eat or bring it back to your stay. Thank you Sonya for everything you had available for us to use in case we forgot something you had it there. Sonya is a great hostess and replies very quickly should you have any questions. Would definitely stay there again. Oh by the way the view of the mountains from our room was AWESOME!

Thank you so much for your review, Dave! I really appreciate it. I hope you come back!
Our stay was great! The view is what makes this room a steal. It's an older building, but you get what you pay for. Sonya is a wonderful owner, and she is very knowledgeable. We had a fantastic time, and we would book this room again.

Awww!! I only just figured out where to find reviews on the app. What a lovely review from you, thank you! I hope you come again. Hale Honu Kai is waiting for you🌺🌴♥️!
What a lovely little place that made me lose track of time, how comfortable I got there. Sonya communication are excellent, always helpful and quick to answer my messages. Mai did a great job with the cleaning and organization of the apartment. The view is spectacular! The coffee place downstairs is great! Opens at 4am! Everything is walking distance. Would definitely stay here again, thank you Sonya for everything! Aloha
Loved the location! Loved the food truck courtyard just across the street. The room is small, but we fit our group of 4. Just picked up the futon/air mattress during the day, and we were more out than in. Sonya was a very helpful host, giving lots of great info for any of my questions. Room was clean. Oh, and the beach wagon with beach chairs, sand toys and snorkels was amazing!

Our Host Sonya did a wonderful job at creating a safe & warm environment for us to celebrate my granddaughter's 10th Birthday trip. We enjoyed our stay & will definitely be returning next year. Easy access to the beach, shops, dining & many food truck options directly across the street. The studio has books & everything u can possibly need for a day at the beach. We used her snorkeling gear, towels, sunblock, and many other items she provided & past guests left behind. Our stay was wonderful & stress free. I highly recommend staying here & enjoying everything Waikiki has to offer. Aloha .....Lupe & kids
The place was really comfortable, and even it was too hot in the outside, the apartment kept cool all times by only opening the windows (we didn't use the AC). The place is just as advertized, cozy place with beatufil views and in a good neighborhood to stay. I travelled with my husband and daughter. We spent most of our time outside in the beaches so the snorkeling equipment that was in the apartment was really helpfull. Sonya was really nice, she had a detail for our little one that make her too happy. All instructions for the check in were clear so we didn't have any trouble. I highly recommend Sonya Place for staying in Waikiki area.

Hello! I'm so glad you liked my little place! And I'm glad your little one liked my things for her. I love children and I want them to feel welcome. I am a "Superhost" on the big competing platform but I've never tried to host on VRBO. You are my very first guests on VRBO! I'm so glad it was with a small child. Thank you for your patience as I am still learning to navigate the app (I'm not techie).
....Info for future guests: I do have two adult snorkel masks but no swim shoes because everyone needs different sizes. You need swim shoes for sharp coral reefs. You can buy swim shoes at any ABC store in Waikiki. Master swimmers can rent fins at the rental shop on the corner of Ena and Kalakaua. But please don't snorkel until 72 hours after a long flight! Your lungs need to reach equilibrium after the heavy cabin pressure.
The property was well stocked with whatever you could imagine you might need - from sunscreen and bodyboards to saran wrap and peanut butter. Inside, it was spotless - we walked around without shoes. Parking in Waikiki was an experience, but no worse than many big cities - just read the signs carefully! Sonya gave us some tips that allowed us to not pay a dime for parking for our entire trip; as a plus, the walk back along the canal after parking on Ala Wai Blvd is pretty fun and full of sights to see - crabs and fish in the water; canoe crews practicing on the river.

Thank you for your review, Serenus! It was a pleasure hosting you. I hope you come again!😃🌺🌴
Sonya is an excellent, attentive and caring host! Hale Honu Kai is the perfect little getaway for 2, especially if you're on a budget. The price was right, and the room had all we needed for a home base during our 2 week adventure on Oahu. Sonya thought of just about everything! She provides enough kitchen supplies to help you enjoy some meals in the room and save money on having to go out for every meal. She even supplies beach items, including snorkel gear - a MUST in Hawaii. If you forgot first aid items, or ran out of your travel shampoo, no matter, it's all there! The rental comes with pool/jacuzzi/grill patio access too. Great for a night cap dip or relaxation. The mountain and cityscape views from the room are excellent to wake up to each morning. I could go on, but her listing really does speak for itself, between the photos and the detailed list of amenities. In summation, I can't recommend Sonya enough, and we certainly plan to book with her again. :)
