Chuck’s Manoa Valley place is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki / downtown Honolulu without the long commute times from Hawaii Kai or Kapolei. The photos do not do the place justice: it’s spacious, well-decorated, and spotless with homey touches that make it a comfortable place to stay. The house sits behind the main house and has its own private path, yard, and patio separate from the main house. A/C in the bedrooms is well-needed during the day but at night the trade winds easily cool the house down through its many windows. The kitchen is large and well-equipped. Views of the city is the cherry on top of the cake. Chuck is also very responsive and isn’t a property manager type which is a good thing for hospitality.
