The condo was nice. It was a secure property directly on Waikīkī Beach. Good view of the ocean that was somewhat blocked by the trees next door in the park. Overall a great stay. The only drawback I can think of is this. Rental company needs to be more direct on their address and how to find their office. We spent 30 minutes trying to find it. I just happened to try a hallway in the building and found a building directory at the end of the hall.
Location is great. Parking is a bonus!
Great location in the heart of Waikiki!
This condo’s location couldn’t have been better - right on the ocean in the heart of Waikiki with shopping and restaurants just a few steps away. The lanai had views of the ocean and the adjacent park and the room was relatively insulated from outside noise. The inside of the property could benefit from a fresh coat of paint and a freshen up on frying pans (they were well past their prime with the Teflon coating flaking away), but that was easy to overlook due to the prime location of the property. We did have a minor repair needed with the showerhead and they were super quick to get that taken care of. Overall it was a great stay.
The unit had very little in terms of dishes/plates and amenities. I was especially disappointed that a beach front condo didn’t have beach towels. We enjoyed a discount in beach chair and umbrella rental which was a nice surprise. Bed was comfortable.
Yes convenient location, not kept up, no pillows on the couch, no carpet, poorly decorated. Old lights fixtures, doors need replaced, and there is a huge bird net from floor to ceiling on the lanai.
Be sure to pay close attention to the check in process, get your keys and parking card from the management office before attempting to get into the unit.Unit was clean & the little extras (beach umbrellas, sand mats, floaties, etc) were a great addition to our short stay!
For being in downtown Waikiki, the location couldn’t be better. Having a parking spot is amazing. Having to figure out how to get your keys on the parking pass is difficult. we were lucky enough to show up during the week and before 5 o’clock, so I have to catch somebody at the business office. She did not speak English well so it was difficult to communicate, but she was able to get me the keys. I never did get the lockbox code, nor the code to the door at the condo in my email. I went back and double checked all my emails and my junk mail. It is not there. It would benefit everyone if the owner could figure out a way to skip that step. I saw other lockboxes on the fence at the condo which would be a better option, but what do I know. The toilet wasn’t working when we got there, but I quickly fix that, and some of the lights didn’t work well which weren’t an issue for us. I did request a one hour late checkout and was denied without paying extra. Given the check-in process and the fact that I had to fix the toilet, I was a little surprised by that. If you say it goes well without needing to communicate, it is a great place, I would be worried for someone who had to reach out because the response time is not very fast. The bed in the kitchen were in good order, there were towels and hand towels, but no wash clothes.
Cozy little place right on the beach. Will definitely be back.
Conflicting inststructionsGo to location call on intercom and pickup key blocks away. No one answered phones. All of them listed. Had to walk 6 blocks to get keyNo one ever answered phone. All numbers
This building and unit are amazing!
The property is in a fabulous location right on the beach. Everything was to our liking.

I've stayed at a lot of places on Oahu, and have lived on Oahu. BE AWARE of the check in/key fob/parking process, and you'll be happy with this place. To have parking so close, this is huge. Washer and dryer, huge. Location, proximity, and access to the beach... you could not ask for much more. I have wanted to stay at Waikiki Shores forever. I would stay at this unit again in a heartbeat.
I was sent an email giving me the code to get in but was not told that I needed to pickup a fob to access the building at a different location so I inquired at the front desk and they weren’t able to help as they are there for the hotel guests and I was unaware that I wasn’t supposed to have contact with them. After sending a message and calling the realtor and getting no response security for the building contacted them and I was then given instructions on how to retrieve the fob. The property was not very Clean, I have pictures and I also have the email that was sent to me that does not give any information about getting the fob at a different location or that I wasn’t supposed to have contact with the front desk, if you would like to see them. It was however a great location.
Check in process was a little confusing. One set of instructions said key fob and parking pass would be in the unit and the other (attachment to the same instructions) said key fob and pass needed be picked up from the property managers office at a different location. Though when asked they responded promptly and communicated well through out stay.
Location was perfect. Beach and park adjacent and walking distance to Waikiki shopping and dining.
Great location perfect host will stay again
This review is based on facts that I experienced upon arriving at the unit.
Less than a minute, walk to the beach. Nice views off the lanai. Super clean and comfortable.

The place was great and just what we were looking for, at the price point that we paid! I'm sure you're not going to find a nicer rental in a better Ocean Front location for the price. Reports of a broken fridge in the reviews, but it's brand new! There was a broken rocking chair back that should be replaced. I would totally recommend this place to a friend!
The location was amazing and convenient to the beach and easy to take the stairs on the second floor. The washer/dryer was a huge perk to clean up dirty clothes daily. My only issue was at check in not getting the code to the lockbox for my keys. Had to contact multiple phone numbers and was several hours later after messaging through VRBO, that I was contacted, but after that everything was great. We enjoyed our stay.
This apartment checked off my must have list. Fabulous location, convenient parking included , air-conditioning, an in-unit washer/dryer and a king sized bed. The apartment is very nice and exactly as seen in the photos. It could use either a dresser or some kind of horizontal furniture (even luggage racks would be fine) in the bedroom so suitcases can either be unpacked or have a place to sit on and utilize when they are opened. The kitchen area has a coffee pot but would benefit from a toaster as we ate breakfast in every day. Plenty of blankets, pillows and towels are provided, but the towels are very poor quality and both small and scratchy. It would also be nice if beach towels were provided. The air conditioning is set to a very low temperature (excessively cold) and we could not find any control to adjust it. Our biggest complaint is that the real estate company that manages it, is very bad at communication. They do not respond to emails or phone calls and we had to physically go to their office to speak with someone to deal with a situation that we needed help with. It was taken care of, but it should not necessitated a trip to their office. A day or two later we were sent a text asking how they could help us. Overall, a very good stay.
The unit is old and outdated. The online photos are at least 8 years old. Everything in the unit is dirty/dusty or broken. I'm leaving a review with photos online so no one else has false hopes of a nice stay!

The newly renovated is not newly renovated, nor does it have a dishwasher. I wish I could attach photos as the refrigerator was rusted on the outside, doors with deep scratches broken and off the tracks, chair broken and minimal utensils and dish towels. Overall poor ownership or management for whomever is responsible as it was the dirtiest place we've ever stayed

Couldn't be in a better location, great views, comfortable bed, great parking. It's time to replace those slatted windows though - earplugs required if you want to sleep at night.

We loved staying here. Beach and restaurant access was so easy. The big windows all across the suite looking onto the park are a treat. The only complaints were 1. A bit of trouble claiming the key to access the suite 2. The suite was clean but the porch floor was quite dirty 3. The sheets weren’t fitted and always became a wrinkled mess 4. There was no dish soap or dish cloths and towels. But overall we highly recommend it.

My husband and I did stay at many Waikiki Shore condos within the last 8 years. This is one of my favorite units so far. Don ́t worry about 2nd floor location, the park views are awesome and the fact that you can use the stairs is a real ++(you sometimes have to wait extremely long for one of the lifts). The unit was clean and we've been surprised to find, salt, pepper, paper towels and dish soap in the kitchen as Lei Hawaii told there wouldn ́t be any. Parking at Fort DeRussy is another +. I've felt at home at unit 208 right from the beginning and wished I could have stayed longer. Love it. Only dilemma: the frontdoor of the refridgerator definately needs to be repainted as the rust bloom disrupts the great overall look and is extremely visible. Besides this it ́s +++ 👍
