Aloha Jean!
I just wanted to say Mahalo again for letting us stay at your beautiful condo 9/28/09-10/8/09. My Husband and I loved our Honeymoon stay here. Perfect for 2 people. Very clean and in wonderful area. The lanai was great to watch the sunsets and just sit and watch the Fireworks or the VIEW!! I loved being so close to all the shopping and the delicous food Waikiki has to offer! I hope that we can come back really soon because I miss it already!!
Mahalo Again!

Aloha!!!!
We stayed at this condo and it was wonderful!!! Happy to say we are coming back to Hawaii in January 2010 but staying on a different part of the island. This was a great location. This was our honeymoon and we had an excellent time. Thanks again Jean!!!!! |

Jean,
I wanted to write you to thank you again for letting us stay at your place. Having a home base on Waikiki made it fun... walking distance to shopping and restaurants, yet so very nice to be able to come back from our touristing-around to a spot where we could see and hear the ocean and still have cherished privacy.
Thanks, too, for keeping your little condo in such good condition—nice fixtures and such. We especially appreciated having the washer-dryer set so handy. We were able to tumble the suitcase wrinkles out of our outfits before hitting the town, and when we ventured off to our next stop--Kauai--we were able to pack only clean clothes.
Of all the surprises about Hawaii, I think one of the main details overlooked in the tourist books are the island breezes. Strange to me how often I find my mind wandering back and fixating on that. To me, they seemed a greeting in and of themselves--a welcoming embrace. And it all began at your place.
Thanks again. And I should say again that it was indeed a pleasure to meet you personally.
Mahalo,

| Karen and I have have come to Waikiki a dozen times in the past 10 years. We found Jean's unit two years ago and have stayed twice. We've stopped looking at other buildings and units because this one is perfect for us. We plan to stay here every time we return. This unit has one of the best views and locations in Waikiki. Being right next to Fort Derussey is a huge plus and the unit is high enough to have tremendous views out both the front and the rear. Our favorite place to eat is the Shorebird which is right next door. The new Beachwalk is right around the corner and if you need to have a car, the very best parking deal in Waikiki is in Fort Derussey. There really is no better location in Waikiki! |

| We stayed in unit 1314 of the Waikiki Shore for one week in September 08 and thought that it was perfect for 2 people. Very comfortable and what a great location. Thank you to Jean Riley for making our vacation rental a very positive experience. It was a pleasure meeting you Jean. |

Aloha, Richard & Kathy.
Thanks so much for staying in # 1314. We do have smaller properties here on the island- welcome to Hawaii where land is scarce, but we'll take quality over quantity! Average hotel rooms are 224 sq. feet and the place at the Waikiki shore is 400 sq. feet. I think it feels bigger to me, becasue I always leave the lanai wide open. And, the bathroom and entry hallway are very spacious by island standards. This building used to be a YWCA. The rooms were dorms and we have these extra high ceilings like they don't do anymore. I used to allow 3 guests, but you're right- perfect for 2 people. 4 people can confortably enjoy the lanai for sunset/fireworks/nightlights. While the ocean goes dark, you can still hear the surf, and all the city and mauka lights go on. Aloha, Richard & Kathy- come back soon- Hana hou!

| We have stayed twice at the Waikiki Shores and have enjoyed both stays. The condo is somewhat small, but perfect for two. We spent most of our time outside enjoying Hawaii. Everything is close and the beach is just steps away. We enjoyed having pupu's and dinner on the lanai each evening watching the beautiful Hawaiian sunsets as eating out can be expensive in Hawaii. Thank you Jean |

My wife and I spent 6 days at the beggining of this month (Oct 2007) and can say that it is a beautiful unit, on the small side but ample for 2 persons which is what it is designed for. It is very clean and quiet, although their are renovations going on at the Outrigger next door, we found the unit to be very quiet. We loved the fact that it is fully furnished and equipped sans telephone. The location is fantastic! with beautiful ocean views and the beach less than 200 feet away, the bus stops within a couple of minutes from the unit.It is centrally located with restaurants and shops very close by.
Mark down in the lobby (who doesn't represent the owner) told us that Ms Riley is very honest, which made us happy as we are too and we certainly found her to be honest and the lovely unit as stated. We would definately stay here again in the future and would highly recommend this condo and Ms Riley. We received very good value for our money. |

| We stayed in Jean's studio from 2/24/07-3/3 for a wedding/family reunion and we were very pleased. The location was perfect and the view was excellent. Her studio was clean and tastefully decorated. Perfect for two. Jean was happy to help when we had questions and she met us in the lobby as soon as we arrived. We look forward to renting from her again in the future. |

Aloha Jean,
We loved the views from this oceanfront condo, the lanai was the perfect place to watch the sunset every night. Your condo is very well appointed and clean, we will recommend it to friends and family. Next time we go back to Oahu, we would love to stay at your place again, it is close to everything!
