  We needed to rent a car in consideration of the location place of Red Ginger.
  Up to the sea, it takes 20 seconds from Red Ginger. The sea is shallow for some distance. We looked at sunrise, walked or ran in the beach.
  From Kahala Mall, it takes 5 minutes by car. We purchased foods, cooked in Red Ginger, and ate in the yard or the room.
  Since Red Ginger is in a quiet place unlike the hotel of the Waikiki central part, we can stay calmly in the room.
  Since access to Waikiki is very good, it is a very good property for staying. Up to Waikiki, it takes 10 minutes by car. We also enjoyed shopping and the meal in Waikiki enough, and also enjoyed the drive in Hanauma Bay or the direction of North Shore.
  The views from the room are just a tree of the small yard and coconut, and a hibiscus. There is no grand view from the room.
  When you check in "after sunset", it is not easy to find a place. We recommend you to check in at daytime.
  In this time, our travel to Hawaii became a very satisfactory one. Because during our staying, we dived and met Sea turtle, and went to Waiarae CC under "Sony open", and watched Mr. Ryo Ishikawa's play, or took some dinner with our friends.

  Overall we had a good experience. There was some debris in the restroom drawers that appear to be mice droppings. Also some debris in the kitchen cabinets from cockroach. I think some of this is natural to the environment and I would recommend this place to others.

  a guest from Jenks, OK recommends this vacation rental

  Overall my wife and I were satisfied with our stay at the Red Ginger. It is close to Waikiki, Diamond Head and several nice restaurants. It is easy to get on the H1 interstate though the traffic is terrible. One negative was the access from the highway. You have to pay close attention or you will miss the property. The second negative was the beach area which really was a sandy area next to an inlet or bay. The water is shallow for a few hundred yards before you actually reach the ocean and waves.

  Shelli B from San Diego, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Banyan Tree. The pix of the place online were accurate only they didn't show the wear and tear on the home and furnishings. The upgrades on two of the baths, the kitchen, and some flooring makes us think that renovations are works in progress. The house was very clean, though, with ample towels and kitchen accoutrements. The two refrigerators were awesome; with our group of 11, we needed the extra frig and freezer space. We cooked every night, so were very grateful for the well equipped kitchen. One of the reasons we chose the house was because of the hot tub, which we used almost every night. It was wonderful sitting in there with our cocktails in the evening as the sun went down. A washer and dryer on the premises was great too.
  We really enjoyed sitting around the big round table for our evening meal. The fit was cozy, but we didn't have to yell from one end to the other to have a conversation, and it was just right for playing games after dinner.
  The property managers were terrific and addressed any problems or needs we had cheerfully and immediately. The maintenance people were there to fix or supply anything very quickly.
  There were only a couple of negatives: the front bedroom is not really a bedroom as it does not have a closet and the wall between it and the public area is so thin that every sound comes through. Only a person who sleeps very heavily and doesn't snore would be a good fit there. The beach isn't a swimming beach and is not that picturesque. One of the back bedrooms can only be accessed from the outside or by going through a Jack and Jill bathroom. And we were not given a key for it. These were only minor inconveniences though.
  The house met our needs very well and I would recommend for people who are looking for accommodations that are comfortable and laid back, but not luxurious.

  the directions could use more detail. We didn't get in until 10:30 pm and it was very difficult to find the driveway.Giving the street name just before it would be helpful and let renters know that it's small and and you have to look at the numbers closely. Otherwise we loved it and will return soon!!

  Carl H from Orangevale, CA recommends this vacation rental

  The studio was clean, quiet, and convenient for two adults within about a hundred feet from the beach. If we had cooked food, the facilities were ready to go. It is located just east of Analli before the road straightens. I recommend looking for the mailbox address 4915 to find it. Nice shopping and restaurants about 4 easy miles east toward Koko Head. Great to be away from Waikiki. Will likely stay again. One recommendation is to for staff to caulk down the paddle decoration outside because it was noisy in the wind (a one minute fix).

• Renewing - Relaxing - It is truly paradise! It was a long flight and when we arrived it had not been cleaned. We called management, they appologized and had someone over promptly to clean. It was everything pictured and more! Thanks Julie

  Even though the entrance was off a main road the traffic noise was taken out by the greenery and home placement. The pool was lovely. Very charming gardens. The ocean was just a few steps away. Nice sandy beach ocean frontage.

  a guest from South Lake Tahoe, CA recommends this vacation rental

  It's clean and spotless, but not a place you'll want to spend the day at. It's viewless and rather confining. Exiting the property must be done carefully, too, as you nose out directly onto the highway with cars and bikes speeding by. You have to creep forward slowly until you spot a break and then nail it. The place is convenient and quiet, but don't think of it as a 'resort." It's a good place to come back to at night.

  • Manager Responded on 7/9/2009

    This is on a very large property accessed by a long driveway off of the main road. To exit this property simply wait until the traffic light has turned red instead of attempting a right hand turn into traffic. The unit is larger than an average hotel room, and you also have the option of lounging at the pool or walking down a short path to the beach.

  I have stayed in 3 of the Hawaii Beach Homes vacation rentals and would not stay anywhere else while on Oahu! The rentals are class, have the best locations ever, are fully furnished to create a "home-away-from-home" feeling and are very affordable. The staff members are all informed and the reservation process is very easy. We also appreciate the privacy we are afforded, unlike other private/agency rentals we had in the past. I just cannot say enough positive and would like to say mahalo for providing a wonderful place for us to stay while in Hawaii!!!!

  Pulling in and out of the property was tricky and the traffic always heavy. The ajoining bay was not very useful, but the pool was refreshing. The lodging met my need as a home base as I visited my daughter, spent one night jn Hilo visiting a cousin and saw most of the sites of Oahu.

  I have already recommended to others who will be visiting my daughter in University there. It was a real hideaway for us while getting her set up there. The pool is amazing. The outside lighting was a little problem and I fell in one of the walkways - the property manager had that fixed up by the next night.

  Hawaii Beach Homes offers the best rentals on the island. They make sure you have all of the comforts of home. The staff is helpful and the properties are easy to rent. We have been using Hawaii Beach Homes services/rentals for three years now and I have recommended them to friends coming to Oahu and have confidence they will be as satisfied as we are! This is a class act... Why rent from anyone else? Mahalo, KAT
