The check-in and check-out processes were simple and easy. The home was as described and had everything my family of 5 needed. The location is prime for Waikiki and not having to be in the center and always stuck in traffic. The bed was comfy and we enjoyed the amenities and common areas. mahalo, Reny and family!
The host was very responsive and the property is true to the pictures with a great location. It’s walking distance from a few beaches and near shops and restaurants.
We enjoyed the location and space was everything we needed. I will say that we were very disappointed that there is ongoing balcony construction that was planned since at least early this year. There were flyers posted around the building that “there will be loud noises & dust” as well as the balcony being closed/locked from the outside and the balcony furniture stored inside the closet in the hall. Luckily we were awake before they started work each day as we had things planned. I feel we should have been notified as part of the reason we booked was because of the now unusable balcony and the listing is currently still showing the balcony. I messaged the Host through VRBO to give them a chance to address my concerns, but still a week and a half later have not received a response.
Unit was not very clean when we arrived. Specifically the bathroom and used sheets still on the pull out sofa. Owner was responsive and sent the cleaner out with fresh sheets. Photos on the listing do not depict the units current condition. Unit appears to have been staged for the photos as most of the decor is not in the unit any longer. Thankfully we were only in Oahu for one night.
We had a nice stay. Property is very will located and met our needs
nice place and great view of harbor
We absolutely loved our stay at this place. The view from our condo was breathtaking. The place was easy to find, checkin and settle in. It was very clean. The parking was provided at a cost but was reasonable. All in all we had a great stay.
The hosts were gracious, low-key, and were strong communicators. The location was lovely: lots of great stuff just a short walk away. The strengths included use of body-boards and great beach chairs, a very useful kitchen, a fantastic location, and a comfy bed. Weaknesses included some minor dirty-ness (some yucky hair in the bathtub, a dirty kitchen floor, dust, and a sliding glass door that was hard to see out of), some fake houseplants (I suggest throwing out all the fake plastic plants), an iron with no ironing board, and a hair dryer that did not work. Ultimately, everything turned out just fine and we had a good time, but it wasn't a full 5-star experience. I loved the karaoke playing from the bar below us, but guests should probably know about that ahead of time, in case that's a problem. Also, the laundry room was great, but it is not included (it's on a different floor and costs a little bit). We did enjoy many comforts, but with a few minor bumps on the proverbial road.
Location very good apartment itself was about 600 ft.²Kitchen:Never cooked in unit but was clean Fridge fine: Bedroom and bed very comfortable, main living area good Sofa too soft could use upgrade . Bathroom nothing fancy but clean and adequate. Reny our host was very attentive. Chart house restaurant was excellent. The bar and breakfast place below was also very good.
Nice view of the marina, close to the beach but a little away from the crowds, which was nice. Quick walk to many restaurants and ABC stores. Clean, and well-equipped kitchen.
Check in and contact with owners was smooth. Unit is in a great location with stunning views of sunset over the marina. Lots of places to walk to from this unit. Would recommend this unit for a stay in Honolulu!
The apartment is as advertised. We had an enjoyable trip. Location of the condo is the main issue - it’s ok but further away from the main area than it looks on the map so get used to walking back and forth (20mins each way, a few times a day). The sofa beds could do with a refresh - they were fine for 1 or 2 nights but we had 5 nights and so got uncomfortable for our teenage kids. We did have a great stay and don’t want to be negative but these are the issues that don’t come through in the online description.

Attached to parking garage with laundry facilities on site which was very convenient in that area. Hope to stay again in the future!
The condo was so perfectly located we thoroughly enjoyed our stay the kitchen had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable.
Thank you!!
Perfect place for a couple or solo. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. Great location. Walk everywhere. Extremely comfortable bed. I give this a 5star+.
I wish there was a dresser to put clothes in. There was only 1 hand towel for the kitchen as well as only 1 glass for drinks, other than coffees mugs. There was not enough pillows to accommodate all five of us comfortably. Also, the kitchen has a cabinet handle that is not fully attached. Lastly, the lanai was a bit deceiving in the pictures posted. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.
We loved our vacation in Oahu and this apartment was more then expected, the location as amazing easy walk to Waikiki beach and many restaurants and bars. Parking is in the same building and affordable compared to some other parking garage's. The host was fantastic and replied to my messages ASAP. I would definitely book again.
Location:
I love the location! It looks over the Marina and the Ocean. It’s right at the beginning of Waikiki Beach yet walking distance to all your shopping needs. Next door is a Red Lobster and Below is the Chart House and the Harbor Pub. (great Pizza btw.) There’s also a car rental just around the bend.
The Condo:
What I love about this place is that you can relax and enjoy your stay. Especially if you are traveling with kids. You’re not all worried that “the kids can’t move or they might break something or dirty that white carpet!” It’s nicely decorated with accents of a calming blue so you can relax and enjoy your stay.
The only set back I had was that I gave the bedroom to my daughter and her husband. My grandson slept great on the single fold out bed and I took the pull out couch.
Being that I’m older I found it a bit uncomfortable but the Hosts were so kind and attentive to my needs. They brought me 2 thick comforters which really helped. When they found out that at the last minute my 2 grandkids were coming , they bought 2 new boogie boards and sand toys.
You definitely will find the “Spirit of Aloha” if you stay at this Condo.
The property provided all that we needed and enabled us to have a great vacation. Free parking would have been nice.
This was a great condo right on the marina. Short walk to the beach. Host was very responsive to any questions we had. Everything was great - plenty of beach towels, chairs, cooler available.
Excellent central location with lovely Marina views, breeze, shade and cool in the warm morning, nice sunset. Easy walk into both Waikiki and Ala Moana Park and shopping center. Mahalo
Location, location, location! This condo is in a prime spot on Waikiki allowing easy access to Duke’s Lagoon and the beach! A beautiful view of the harbor right out your patio window with a priceless sunset view and Hilton’s Friday night firework shows!! The beds were super comfortable! Our kids slept on all of the pull outs and they said they felt like real beds. We cooked several breakfasts and lunches in the condo to save on meal costs and it worked great! ABC store is within walking distance and you can get most everything you need there, we did a Walmart delivery the day we arrived and it worked perfectly and our groceries were brought right to the condo door! Keep in mind that the laundry is on the 8th floor so not in the condo, we didn’t want to take the time out of our vacation to sit up there so we did not check that out, but keep in mind that it is available. All in all, great space for the amount of time that you are in your condo and usable for what you need while there. Thanks, Reny!
Very fast communication, allowed us to check in a little early which helped a lot traveling with our 3 kids. Teenage kids stayed on the pull out beds and they said they were really comfortable! We loved the location, lots of things easily walkable and a great view of the marina! We took a boat cruise from right downstairs. Would stay here again!

We were looking for a property close to the water that was not overly expensive as we had spent 6 days in Maui prior. The room was as expected. The unit was tight for 5 but not bad for two nights since we were out most of the time. Over all, pretty quiet although there was some major screaming going on a couple of doors down when we first arrived but it was pretty quiet after that. Lock on sliding door needs repair.

The condo overall is in good condition, the price is fair and daily parking rate is reasonable, just need to buy a weekly or 5 day car pass if staying a week long as you will need to insert the ticket every time you are in and out. Cleanliness: overall is good, carpet was not very clean and I say that because we have a crawling infant. The laundry facility is on the 8th floor, owner is nice and left ample of beach towels, flippers for swimming, high chair and bassinet for our kiddo. That was very nice of him. The communication with the owner Remy was very smooth and he is very courteous and tries to accommodate you and answers questions pretty quickly.
The con: the area by the harbor is beautiful but attracts number of homeless people and multiple nights we heard screaming homeless lady during and it disrupted my sleep a bunch. Other than that it was great esp if you have a small picky eater kid and need to cook occasionally. Our last two days we stayed at Hilton and compare to hotel, this place has twice as cheaper parking, much more roomy and daily rent is very reasonable. Overall, I would recommend this place.

You can't beat this location. My family and I had a fantastic time! Hosts were very communicative and helpful. We will dedicate come back!
