Conveniently located in Waikiki and the host gave clear instructions and was very responsive. Small space so perfect for a single person or a couple. Felt safe as key card access was required for the elevators and doors.

Jackie and Matt were very responsive. The toilet flush nob came off and they came in to fix it within the same day. The place is small but it was perfectly adequate for me as a solo traveler.

Split and Save: Flexible Travel Accommodation

Enjoy a cost-effective getaway by sharing the expense of a monthly rental with family, friends, or other travel-goers. Splitting the cost means you can relax and unwind without stretching your budget.Consider connecting with other travelers to divide the accommodation into weeks or different time periods among different guests during the 30 days.  This does not need to be a calendar month, but any consecutive 30 days at your group’s convenience. This approach allows each traveler to enjoy a comfortable stay while only paying for the time they need. By organizing your travel plans with others, you can make your vacation more affordable and arranged at your convenience.

Please note, all connections and arrangements are the personal responsibility of the travelers.

Browse our properties suited for longer stays and plan a comfortable, affordable vacation together (or separately at different times during the extended stay).
