It connects the past with the present, carrying forward the traditions, wisdom, and identity of Hawaii’s native population. Yet, like many indigenous languages, ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi faced the threat of extinction in […]

Ray’s Princeville place was a home away from home. As soon as you enter the place, you will feel that “homey feeling”. It was clean, spacious and it’s at the nice location in Princeville. The living room space with a nice view of the golf course will take take your breath away! It was hard to leave the space since the couch was very comfortable. The AC was an added bonus!!! The only problem we had…we didn’t have enough time to stay longer Aloha!!!

Beautiful Condo! Wonderful location. I just wanted to say that this condo was a hidden gem. We were so lucky to have found such a great place to say and a great value for your money. Central location on the island made exploring the island a breeze. Close to stores, and waterfalls, rivers, everything. The condo itself was immaculate and so comfortable. We just loved it! Ray was wonderful to work with and really helpful and accommodating. I wish we could return again now! It’s been almost a ye… Read more

My wife and I stayed at Ray’s condo for 6 nights during the first week of March, and we had an amazing time in Kauai. For us, the place was a perfect quiet refuge after our days of adventure throughout the island. The condo is right along a golf course and within walking distance to the St. Regis and a few public beaches, as well as Queen’s Bath. We enjoyed taking morning walks along the trails that meander through the golf course and community, and enjoyed seeing so many other residents and… Read more

Location, location, location! We have stayed in Lae Nani #317 five years in a row. We absolutely love it! The location is perfect for enjoying our favorite area of Kauai. It’s quiet, has a fabulous pool and the unit is beautifully updated throughout. It has all the amenities you need to feel at home. There are many great restaurants and shopping opportunities as well as a spectacular view. This location and unit is our first choice in Kauai.

Aloha Ray: We are truly enjoying your ‘lae nani,’ on Kauai. Your condo is absolutely beautiful! It was so welcoming when we arrived! Thank you for having the air mattress bed set up, it worked out perfectly! The Rainbow This morning was an added bonus, did you arrange that also!

Property: Ilikai Condo, Honolulu, Ohau Dear Ray, We had less than a month when we decided to take a last minute 2021 Summer vacation and we are so glad you where able to get a great condo right at the famous Ilikai Hotel right at Waikiki Beach. We had an amazing view of the Hawaii sunset and had a wonderful time for 11 full days. We couldn’t believe the rates we got from you vs the big boxed travel sites! You got the hook ups without sacrificing 5 star service and condos! Your advice was r… Read more

We had a small window for a last-minute trip to Kauai. I went to so many websites and nothing was available for our dates. Then I found Ray. He told me “I have my own style of Hawaii condo rentals…leave it with me” and he found several options for two couples. Ray is my go-to for future trips. – John in Kansas

First of all, thank you for working with us on getting this trip to finally happ… Read more
