We only had one issue and that was air conditioning. It was hot in the hallways and the unit has a window air condition. We’re thinking maybe that’s a Hawaii thing.
Christy is the consummate Hawaiian host who exudes the Aloha spirit from making the reservation, through timely answering of my many questions, and in the personal care she takes with the detailed appointments of the unit. The Ilikai is centrally located to get to Waikiki, Ala Moana, or to drive onto H1. We got a perfect view of the Friday night fireworks from the Lanai. Much Mahalo, RJ
This room did not disappoint.
This condo provided us with the perfect spot to rest and recharge before heading home to the Southern Hemisphere.
The host was responsive to texts and provided wonderful information about the condo and resources. The fireworks are stunning from the lanai. We can’t wait to return!
Christy is very responsive and an excellent host. We enjoyed the balcony and watching the fireworks. Ilikai is in an excellent location and within walking distance of the beach, Ala Moana shopping center and many restaurants.
Check in was super easy. Kitchen had everything we needed.
Condo was exactly as described. Very comfortable, close to everything, and good communication.
Very clean comfortable room. Well stocked with kitchen supplies and beach towels, chairs and umbrellas. Great communication with owner.
Amazing! Me and my husband stayed here for 8 days, and everything was perfect. The location was superb, the apartment was really nice and clean, the view from the spacious balcony was really pretty. And parking was no problem, lots of options near by. Cathy had made everything very easy for us. All instructions were spot on. The beautiful walk to the city center took us about 20 minutes. If you are in doubt wether to book or not, don’t hesitate; hit «book» as fast as you can!
Our family absolutely loved this property! Very clean and perfectly located to beach, shopping, restaurants. Property offers complimentary luau on Friday on patio downstairs and Hilton Hawaiian Village fireworks show which we enjoyed from our balcony. We will definitely stay again... Mahalo Christy!
Beautiful property. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property. The location was perfect.
Christie was always available. And the unit was as explained. Would highly recommend we will definitely be back.
Great location & amenities.
Amazing location and view. Everything was perfect.
I miss the morning coffee on the lanai with the beautiful view. Christy was the best to deal with, very prompt communication. For two of us, the condo was the perfect size. Very clean, fully equipped. The Friday night fireworks were exciting, such a close view from the lanai. Thanks Christy for a great stay.
This stay was amazing! Beach stuff, so much shopping and places to eat. Amazing view! Super clean. Host offered and late check out.
The unit looked exactly like the listing. It was well stocked and very clean. The host was easy to communicate with and left really good instructions along with recommendations.
Excellent stay… suite was exactly what was advertised. Nice to have the welcome chocolates.
This is our second time staying there. The king size bed is very comfortable. The condo has everything you need to feel like you’re at home. It has an amazing view of the Friday Fireworks and the ocean and the lagoon. We Love staying there and Love dealing with Christy the owner. Thank you so much. We will be back. Aloha Lynn and Fred
This property was exactly as advertised. The 2 pools are great. You won't find a better spot to see the Hilton Hawaiian Village Friday night fireworks!
This was a wonderful place, with great unobstructed views of the lagoon, fireworks and pool area. We were without three month old so it was n ie to peer down and see which pool had shade before making our way down 11 levels. The kitchen was well stocked. I really loved how Christy had plenty of coffee and cleaning supplies so we did t have to go buy things for the week we were there. I was thankful for the rolling wall that partitioned off the bed from the rest of the place so I could put the baby down and still hang out in the evening.
Wonderful stay for 2 adults, 2 kids over the Christmas holiday. If you want simple convenience, without frills or luxury, this is a perfect place. In Hawaii at resorts you can often feel nickle and dimed for everything, and this is a nice alternative with all the conveniences self-serve at your fingertips. The Friday hula show and fireworks were a special perk!! As former O’ahu residents returning for the holiday, this was absolutely perfect.
-I was unable to find pic or clarify via reviews, so want to note that this is a studio vice a true 1BR. There is a sliding tatami style wall you can use for privacy but if you are two couples you should be very comfortable with each other as you will be sharing one room.
-If you want to use Kahanamoku beach right by the Ilikai, recommend bringing water shoes as this is a very very rocky/coral beach once you are in the water. You can walk a ways toward Waikiki for softer sand. With kids, the water shoes were essential.
-Most everything was open on Christmas, and the Ilikai store with the essentials you need is open 24 hours/365 days a year! We were wondering about this traveling for the holidays.
-Ilikai harbor parking was $33/day during our stay with in and out. Ubers to Waikiki when we didn’t want to walk were about $5 each way!
Absolutely loved this property and location, super convenient, great communicative host, and laid back easy O’ahu vacation.
Christy (the host) was the best to work through VRBO customer service issues. She's very patient and was always available. Truly a remarkable host.
The pictures of the condo property are right on, and the view from the lanai is spectacular. The condo was very clean and stocked with most of what you would find at your home. The partition to block off bed area from the living space is a bonus and was much appreciated for those going to bed early. Bed was comfortable. It was a bonus to have beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, umbrella, and if you have children, there are some pool/beach items for them as well. From our lanai, there was no noise from the pool area, nor anywhere in our area. We were able to view 2 Hula shows from our lanai that were taking place across the street at the Hilton. Plus, there's a Friday Hula Show within the courtyard of the Ilikai. Wakaki Beach is within walking distance, as is many restaurants, shops, or sunset boat cruises. We were up every day to see the sunrise from our lanai and then view the sunset which is just a few minutes' walk to the beach. Pesca restaurant elevator was great for a bird's eye view of the harbor and sunset. Food and service were excellent. The Ilikai and this condo added to the best part of our 8-day trip to Oahu.
Looking forward to returning and would only stay at the condo. Thank you, Christy, for the effort that you put forth to make this condo a great place to stay for your guests.
The location and view of this property was outstanding. However the protestors from the Hilton Hawaiian village were very loud starting at 7 am they would move around the other side of the building. We weren’t able to enjoy the balcony or the pool. Hopefully this strike will be over soon . Otherwise a lovely stay.
Stay was good however with the strike next door it was loud and also we had paid extra for late check out it was not communicated to the cleaning crew
This is our second time staying here. We love the location, views and able to watch the fireworks from the balcony. Christy is a wonderful host, great communication. Clean, spacious and has all the beach gadgets for our use. Will def book again.
Perfect location in Honolulu, close to lots of shopping, dining, and Waikiki Beach. Clean, secure and comfortable. Would stay there again in a heartbeat 😊
