29th Corner 1 BR Great Panoramic Ocean View!! Pacific Monarch

Great condo, great location, and great view!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have visited Hawaii several times and have stayed at a variety of hotels and condominiums around Waikiki. This time, I chose a vacation rental at Pacific Monarch, and overall it was a very comfortable and satisfying stay.The location is definitely one of its strongest points. Waikiki Beach is within easy walking distance, and there are plenty of ABC Stores, restaurants, and shops nearby. Being able to step out and quickly get whatever you need makes getting around Waikiki stress-free and convenient.We stayed in a high-floor unit, and the view was beautiful. During the day, you can enjoy the open city scenery, and in the evening, the atmosphere becomes calm and very “Waikiki-like.” Because of the view, we found ourselves spending more time relaxing in the room than we initially expected.The room itself was clean and well maintained, with a pleasant overall atmosphere. One thing that stood out was the stylish lighting. In the evening, it created a warm and relaxing mood, giving the space a slightly hotel-like feel while still being a condominium. It wasn’t flashy, but it felt thoughtfully designed and comfortable.Having a kitchen was also very convenient. Being able to prepare a simple breakfast or keep drinks and fruit chilled made the stay more flexible and relaxed, especially compared to eating out for every meal.The rooftop pool and jacuzzi were nice for unwinding between outings. They weren’t overly luxurious, but they were rarely crowded and easy to use, which made them enjoyable in a quiet, low-key way.The building itself is not brand new, so those looking for the latest luxury hotel facilities or full service may find it a bit simple. However, considering the location, room comfort, and freedom that comes with a condo stay, the overall value is very good.All in all, Pacific Monarch is an easy and comfortable choice for enjoying Waikiki without overthinking thing

Accurate online representation of unit

The lanai and location are everything. Check in was easy. Will stay again, thank you!

We really enjoyed this apartment because of the views, the amenities of the building (pool, BBQ, sauna and hot tub), the cookware & supplies. The bed was on the firm side but tolerable. Water pressure was very good. As mentioned in many reviews the a/c is noisy and should be replaced, but it kept the room comfortably cool at night. During the day there are strong breezes which were nice through the many open windows. The owner failed to let the front desk know we were coming and his emails are “no-reply”, so we were delayed at check in, but we would stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You need to update this unit. It is shoeing it's age, repairs are needed, outdoor furniture is worn out. overall the unit is a disgrace!

Room matched the description and was clean. I was not impressed by the small window unit used to cool the unit. The air was not on prior to our arrival so it took several hours to cool down. Window tinting or heavy drapes may help with the radiant sun heat, but overall the unit met our needs, just 2 blocks from the beach

The condo was so well set-up. It was a minimalist’s dream. Every item was tucked away in a cabinet, drawer or cupboard which was my very favorite thing!! The lanai offered a beautiful view of the ocean. And although I sat on the lanai by myself there’s plenty of room out there for at least 4 people. The a/c was very cold (if you like it cold). The kitchen seemed fully equipped though we didn’t cook during our short stay. If you want to be in the heart of Waikīkī this is the place for you. There’s a coffee hut right downstairs which was very convenient. The garage (independent of the condo) was a tight squeeze, so be careful and drive slowly when parking and exiting if you use it.

We stayed there for 2 weeks in March. What's good: Since it is on the 29th floor, the partial view of the ocean and the view towards the east from the patio was the highlight of the place. The patio really makes the difference, since the unit is very compact. The glass wall that separates the patio consists of glass panels, two of which slide together with the third, to enable indoor/outdoor living. Being a corner unit, it is very light. The finishes and the cabinets are high end, and there is plenty of storage. The tub/shower has great pressure and is great, except that the handheld part didn't work. The location is great, 2 blocks from the beach, and is on a busy street with bus stops, lots of restaurants, shopping, and a grocery store within 3 blocks. What's not as good:The air conditioner! It is very old, and very very noisy. A problem day and night. The bed is very firm, I liked it, my wife didn't. All in all, a very nice unit in an older hotel. It does show some wear and tear typical of VRBO's.

Great place and one block to beach. Will go again.

We never got into the condo. The key code didn't work. After a call to Lei Realty, we received an email the next day telling us the condo owner no longer wanted to rent it out. The real problem was the lack of advance notice, we already arrived in Honolulu, it was almost midnight,. We had to just check into a place next door, then find another place for the stay.

"We recently stayed at this property from December 18th to 28th, 2024. Our stay was severely impacted by the extremely noisy and ineffective air conditioning unit, creating an intolerable living environment.Noise Violation: The air conditioning unit produced constant and disruptive noise levels consistently exceeding 75 decibels, far exceeding the permitted limit for residential units. We verified this using a noise level app.Inadequate Cooling: Despite the excessive noise, the unit was ineffective at cooling the apartment. Daytime temperatures soared due to the large windows, and even at night, temperatures remained uncomfortably high.Unresponsive Host:On the third day of our stay, we reported the AC issue to the host. They stated that they were unable to fix it.On the fifth day, we researched local building codes and measured the excessive noise levels. We then contacted the host again with this information, but received no further response until after our departure.This lack of communication and the significant impact of these issues on our stay were deeply disappointing. We hope that the host will address these concerns promptly to improve the comfort and enjoyment of future guests."

The management company's communication and service was outstanding!

Was a great trip and would rent again from this company.

Good : Location, View and Amenities. Bad : Air conditioner took more than 48 hrs to cool. i called up property mangement. and it was not fixed during my stay of 6 nights. So turn around time is not great. we had to resort to sleeping on the balcony. Ugly : During checkout day , I got locked out and my key pad was not working. i called the number and left numerous msgs and urgent msgs and no one returned my calls or msg. I had to wait for cleaners to come in and let me in. Number listed on portal or their office is not monitored. No support from listing agent. If something is not working or broken you are on your own.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we would give this property high marks! However, where some things are located, e.g., where the heck was the air conditioner! And the owners are way over directive - we will NEVER wear slippers I need better support for my feet for health issues ... they need to be less directive - and live with people wanting to or needing to wear shoes get a life!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The facilities were great, but we did not spend a lot of time there other than to sleep. Air Conditioner struggled to keep the place cool, but other than that everything was satisfactory.

Fine, but air conditioning needs to be updated.

Everything went well. Had issues checking in since our flight was delayed. The wrong data was initially provided so we had to rent an additional room for the night. Besides that, nice location and room.

This place is in the middle of all the Waikiki action, a great location. Well stocked full kitchen but no kitchen towels!!!! When I called they said can’t do kitchen towel because it’s vacation rental. What?!! They want us to use paper towel what a waste!!! The couch upholstery could use a good washing. We didn’t want to sit on it! And the pull out mattress was gross too!! They should really get that stuff cleaned!

Great location and the unit was more updated than the building. I liked the unit but not all the reminders of what I would be charged for. Not enough towels and no beach towels. Fortunately there is a ABC close by🙂
