Place had great views, convenient to Waikiki, but not in it. Internet was absolutely terrible. Thankfully we had our own built in on our cells. Bed very comfortable. I think they need a better cleaning service. The place didn’t seem that clean. Shower curtain smelled, stains on living room couch etc. still had vertical blinds with lots of the panels missing. Just seemed run down.
Great location. Quiet and convenient.
Location was perfect just outside of Waikiki. Used Kaimana as our home beach for kids. Rented a car a few days from rental on southside of Waikiki. Short walk there, bus back. Nice to be outside of Waikiki traffic when driving to other parts of island. Nicely equipped condo. AC a bit noisy, but not big issue.
Location and view were fantastic. Indoor furniture is dated and uncomfortable should have a nicer at least comfortable couch for price… Also patio needs the couch pulled out and a good sweep….Biggest challenge was lack of basic supplies to keep the kitchen clean for ourselves and the next guests…kitchen was not very well equipped we were left two dishwasher pods for a ten day stay making keeping the dishes clean a challenge we were left a quarter small container of dish soap meaning the dishes and pots were not easy to keep clean and were left three small kitchen garbage bags
The condo was perfect for us. We had two teenagers with us and they had their own room. It was a great location away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki but close enough to walk to everything.
The decor could use a refresh as it’s a little outdated and the couch in the living room is really uncomfortable.
My only critique is that the Vrbo app wasn’t a great way to contact the owner. It was “having issues “ for the majority of our stay. Not sure what was going on there.
We loved this condo in the Diamond Head/ Waikiki area.
Let me start with the very few negatives:
1- everything in Honolulu feels dated. Meaning, it looks like most buildings were built in the 70s.
2- with that said, expect dated elements in the condo too. Low, popcorn ceilings, vertical blinds. No big deal, just letting you know.
3- the sofa is very firm and uncomfortable but we spent most of our time on the FANTASTIC balcony so it was not an issue.
4- the listing has the 2nd bedroom with 2 double beds. They are SINGLES, not doubles.
The PROS:
1- we loved the location!! It felt very safe and it's across from a vibrant park that gives you a local feel. The parking is a little tough at times but we could usually find a spot around the park or in the metered area. It was free overnight.
2- the oceanfront view is the best, the balcony is comfortable and there is a grassy courtyard right on the water that is perfect for sunbathing without sand.
3- You are less than a mile from the Waikiki area, including a Starbucks. ;-) I would walk there every morning and the sidewalk would be busy with runners.
4- there are beaches all along the route from the condo to the heart of Waikiki so it's easy to find a spot you like. Chairs are provided at the condo.
5- check in was easy and there is an elevator to the 7th floor. Only 1 elevator but we never had to wait long.
6- the kitchen was sufficient and the beds were comfy. They supplied plenty of towels and beach towels.
Thanks!
Good. Would stay here again.
The description of the property was spot on. The only surprise was the beautiful view from the lanai, there are no words that can accurately describe how awesome and amazing it is, you have to see it for yourself. My family and I would definitely stay here again.
Had the most awesome time. The kitchen has a great sink, stove and fridge. Sitting in the garden area watching the sun set is life-changing. The Hawaiian people are great.
Mahalo.
