I was initially apprehensive about staying in a rental property but this place was nice, clean and in a great location. I will definitely stay again.
This is an excellent one bedroom, one bathroom unit with a small but well stocked kitchen. The location can’t be beat, a block from the beach and the zoo. Everything is tastefully remodeled and comfortable. Host is easy to communicate with and check in is easy. While there is no parking at the location, we found free parking a short walk away on the other side of the zoo along the street. It isn’t close to a grocery store so plan to uber to one if not getting a car, have them delivered or eat out. There are no views from any of the windows but we spent so little time in the room we didn’t care. On the balcony there are a couple of beach chairs and a boogie board for using at the beach. In a shared space downstairs there are other beach items that you can borrow which was really nice. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.
This spot was great! The location was amazing and the place was extremely comfortable. I stayed there with 2 other friends and we were all able to sleep comfortably using the king bed and futon. They also have beach chairs and towels which is a great perk!
So much to see, do, eat. Beach down the street. Comfy bed. It’s a side street so no views, but you won’t be hanging out in your apartment!
The place itself was lovely, clean, comfortable, and in a great location just a short walk to the beach and shops. Once we were settled in, everything went smoothly and we really enjoyed our stay.However, the check in experience was frustrating. We arrived around 10 AM with three large suitcases, hoping to at least drop off our bags before the 3:00–3:30 PM check in time so we could explore without dragging everything around. When we contacted the owner, we were told flatly “no,” and that we had to wait until check in.This meant sitting outside the place for nearly five hours in the heat, unable to go anywhere or even get food. We checked several times to see if cleaners were there, but the unit appeared empty all day. Eventually, we went up an hour early and found the place completely clean and unoccupied.It was frustrating to know we could’ve been let in earlier or at least dropped off our bags. The lack of flexibility and empathy really soured the start of our stay. Honestly, it felt almost narcissistic to deny a simple request like luggage drop-off. And if the concern was cleaners, why not just contact them to confirm if they were still there? The situation felt avoidable and poorly managed, which was a shame given how nice the place itself was.
We'd been staying with some friends elsewhere, and decided to stay a bit longer once that trip ended. This spot was absolutely PERFECT for my husband and I! It's within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants, and the beach is a block away! Beach chairs and towels being included was a big perk as well, and there's an ABC right around the corner if you need any emergency items! It felt super secure and safe, and was incredibly clean! Check-in directions were very clear and easy, and same with check-out. Would absolutely stay here again! 10/10 recommend!

Beside the low pressure of the water to the shower, anything else is perfect.
I stayed at this property with my 20 year old son and his friend. We got a text about getting in upon arrival and had no issues at all with access throughout our stay. The boys enjoyed being close to all the activity by the beach, the novelty of roosters, and the food trucks on our road. We walked to the Queen Kapiolani hotel for Uber drivers. Two minor issues: the sliding glass door to the lanai was a little sticky, and the pull-out couch was a bit hard on this 58 year old. Otherwise a fantastic place overall and will stay again! Mahalo!

The vacation rental was a beautifully remodeled condo, clean and filled with everything you could possibly need to make your stay pleasant and complete every utensil, cooking apparatus necessary is available. Blankets towels and pillows are all provided and clean and in wonderful shape.The air-conditioning unit was a little noisy, and I could not adjust the temperature, it was either on some type of permanent hold or simply stuck on 70°. And it rattled incessantly. The only way for some peace was to unplug it. Other than that the room was absolute perfection. Communication was slightly lacking with the company, but once we got the kinks worked out, everything was perfect I would 100% recommend recommend!
