Upgraded 1BR Condo Ocean View - Sleeps 6

We experienced several issues during our stay at the condominium. The front door would not lock properly unless it was pushed tightly closed, and the keypad was not functioning when we arrived, requiring us to call for the default code. (The host was very quick to get this resolved which was appreciated)The bathroom door also did not close completely because the rear roller is off the rail. The beds need replaced they were both very small for 2 adults and were very uncomfortable. One of our biggest concerns was that the pool has reportedly been closed for a year, yet this was not disclosed anywhere prior to booking nor after. We found this out while we were on our flight to Hawaii. Had we known this in advance, we would not have chosen to stay here, this was very disappointing.The shower drain also emptied very slowly. We were informed that suv vehicles would fit in the garage area, but our rental vehicle did not fit. The response we received was simply to find overnight parking elsewhere, which in most nearby locations costs approximately 35 per night.That said, the building’s management company was very accommodating and allowed us to park our rental vehicle on the main floor area normally reserved for owners, which we greatly appreciated.

Furniture had what looked like blood spots on it and it was very dirty/tired and needs to be recovered or updated. The unit needs basic maintenance like adjusting the doors so they close properly. The kitchen had 4 forks and no pots to cook with, only pans; I mentioned to the host the first day or 2 and no change.

This was a girls trip of 3 middle aged women. The lanai had a beautiful view of Diamond Head and the sunrise each morning. The bedroom had a great view of the beach as well as the kitchen window. Out our bedroom window we could watch the fireworks. The kitchen is a galley kitchen off of the living room/dining room. This was a nice touch because if you were up early or late you would not disturb those sleeping in the bedroom. Another great thing about this place is the bathroom sink and vanity are outside the bathroom. This allowed someone to shower and then do hair and makeup while someone else was showering. This condo was equipped with kitchen utensils and everything you needed to prepare a meal. The bathroom had bottles of shampoo etc. Being the end unit was nice and quiet. The laundry room next door was also great. To wash and dry it’s 4 a load now. You can use quarters or an app on your phone. Condo had plenty of storage for clothes. No issues with the elevators except for the last day. We actually went up to come back down to the lobby as each elevator that stopped on the 14th floor was full. Just a tip if you encounter this. The host was always right there when we texted with any questions. Very personable and went above and beyond for us. Would definitely stay here again. Short walk to the beach and several restaurants in the area including the Cheesecake Factory. 15 minute walk or less to the international market place, zoo and aquarium.

After we figured out parking and how to get the code we had a great time. Owners were easy to communicate with. The location of this property was awesome as we could walk to the beach just down the road and tons of shops, places to eat, etc. Having a place to park was great. It's hard to understand how difficulty parking is until you get there and then since parking comes with this stay, that was extremely valuable to navigating the area. Just a real bonus! The place was spacious, and had good functionality and the laundry room was right next door as well as the trash area, so I loved that as I took all my kids and we did laundry often.

Wonderful few weeks in Hawaii! The place was great! Aloha!

The condo is conveniently located. Beach is a long block away and there are shops nearby. Parking included is a big perk since there's limited parking in Waikiki. There are beach towels, chairs and umbrellas which was great. The view on the post is not the main view. You see the ocean view from the narrow galley kitchen window and not the main balcony where the view is the other condos across the street. The window was dirty in the kitchen so it's definitely not as nice as the posted picture. You can hear the main road noise and sirens even from th 14th floor.The washer/dryer room is located next door which is convenient but you can hear the machines running. They do shut them down from 11pm-8am. Overall, this condo was a nice place to stay with all the amenities needed. Just be aware it's not ocean front but it's roomy and comfortable.

The description says it sleeps 6. In truth it sleeps 2 adults comfortably (one in each of the beds) or 1 adult and 2 small kids. The beds are fine for one person. 2 people and you sink to the middle. The pull out couch is all springs. Daughter put a sheet over the couch cushions and slept on the couch folded up. The kitchen is small but has everything you need. Otherwise clean with quick 3 minute walk to the beach. Nice to have the free parking. Parking in waikiki is expensive and hard to find otherwise

Communication was excellent and we were taken care of by manager due to the place not being cleaned upon arrival. They cleaned it the next day, which we appreciated. Air conditioner kept us nice and cool. Condo is in a perfect location and just a block from the beach. We will definitely book again!

Ex

it was advertised as a newly remodeled unit. there was dust you could write your name on the coffee table, dust bunnies in the corner on the floor. cracked tile and mold in the tub. towel rack fell when we hung a towel. 1 bottle of shampoo and 3 empty bottles of conditioner. had an open bag of coffee which we did not use. ceiling fan didn't work but got that fixed. there was a phone but not connected. talked to the people on the 5th floor but they told us that it was a private owner and to contact them. not planning on using vrbo again. took pictures but don't see where to attatch.

The place was mostly as expected. The information provided to us in the welcome email was mostly wrong and didn't even contain the correct door code, so we had to call the property manager to even get I to the room. The property manager was not located on site like the provided information said. There also was no beach stuff or sand toys provided like the welcome information said. We were not initially provided enough bedding for all three beds. This was awkward since the property management office was closed by the time we figured this out. They close at like 4:30 pm so if you can't check in until 4 you have very limited time to figure out what you are missing. The property was pretty clean and the views were great. We really enjoyed the pool and the deck and the nearby beach. It was good to be able to cook and they did have a toaster, microwave and a rice pot. It could use more utensils as we pretty much had to wash a lot.The apartment could use some maintenance the kitchen sink leaks and the bathroom door does shut. The pull out bed was really really uncomfortable and I doubt adults would really be able to sleep there. The parking garage did have some issues with very narrow spots and difficultly parking. They also said in the welcome information that a SUV would not fit in the parking garage so we rented a sedan. There were lots of SUVs in the parking garage but we did see some large jeeps either scrape the top or have to back out. However a normal SUV would be fine.

This place was large and spacious for our family of four. It was right beside the laundry room, which we use multiple times during our two weeks stay. It had everything we needed and we loved the gallery kitchen versus having a kitchen in the open space. We would be able to be in the kitchen and make some noise while the kids are in the room sleeping. The only thing that I think this place needs is an update on their furniture. The mattresses were not too comfortable, but because we were so tired from the day, everyone fell asleep right away. We would definitely stay here again the next time we are back in Hawaii.
