The place was clean and very cozy. The kitchen was well stocked and even had some essentials for your everyday cooking needs. Dan was extremely responsive when communication was required. Great place with easy access to transit and just a short walk to the beach and shopping.The only downside was the back bedroom was hard to cool down, but the ample fans did help.
Excellent location easy access to shops and transportation
Walking distance to the beach, restaurants and stores,
We stayed for 8 nights in early July. Family of 4 with 18 and 22 year old. Dan the owner was extremely responsive and helpful. His description of the property is accurate. It is in a great location walking distance to the Food Pantry grocery and to quick markets as well as the food truck park. We also walked to the restaurants and shops about 15-20 min away for a nice evening meal and shopping. For car rental next door in the Monarch Hotel lobby you can rent through 808smartcar. They are a great deal and you get a deal on parking 25 instead of 50 dollars a night. The cars aren't the latest and greatest but they get you around. Our best part of the unit was the Balcony, roomy and breezy. Laundry is at the end of the hall. Beach supplies are great and we did use the chairs, we went to Waikiki beach which is about a 15 minute walk go further down behind the Army Museum ( a must visit and free!) the beach is nice there and has a great cocktail stand run by the military on the beach. Our favorite beach was Waimanalo Beach Park, lots of parking and a local gem.
It was an amazing place to stay great pool nearby; and allowed a late checkout for us since our flight didn’t leave til night. It can be a little nosey but you are in the middle of Wakiki so it makes sense.
This is a nice condo with lots of space to spread out. We appreciated all the beach gear. The owner was very accommodating. The street is a bit loud, but it is easy to walk to lots many places. Fun food truck plaza is right near by.

Great appartement. Clean, All we neded. Nice landlord. Little trafik noise like all over in waikik. Wil come back.
Nice location in Waikiki. Can walk into the madness without being there all the time.
The condo was well-furnished and clean. Near restaurants and a short walk to the beach. Nice to have snorkeling equipment provided. Only problem was very high traffic area with seemingly constant sirens and loud cars and motorcycles. Dan was a very good host and responded quickly to inquiries. Mahalo.
The place was very nice and it was close to the beach. It was close to the intersection and was very noisy at night. The windows don’t close which is normal for Hawaii so it was not possible to keep the noise out.
Wonderful location. Easy access to beaches and activities. Only enough comfortable seating for 3. Nice balcony. Ok view. Nearestparking
Very loud even when all windows are closed. No hot water for showers - only luke warm. No parking which really sucks and we were not told about that until 2 days before arrival. Spices in cupboard were very old and nasty. Not enough variety for cooking.
This is the 2nd time Carnes stayed af Dan’s condo, it’s in the perfect location for us! It’s a nice 2 bedroom with a full kitchen & updated bathroom & shower- very nice accommodations!
Condo layout was a nice, good location and responsive owner
Home away from home. Close to everything. Walking distance to beach. Can be noisy from the neighbours pool.
Condo is in a great location, walking distance to everything Waikiki! Exactly as described, just what we asked for! Thank you!!
we stayed longer for a vacation after our tournament and it was the perfect location!
The owner was great at communicating and the condo was clean had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. It was nice to have a booklet that explained the rules of the condo. Everything we wanted to do was at walking distance.
Had great time in Honolulu
Our stay was very nice and relaxing. The listing had everything we needed and the host was very good at communicating.
There was snorkel gear, chairs, towels, etc. that we took to the beach each day. It was super nice to not have to rent any extra stuff when we wanted to go out :)
The host was excellent responding quickly and very helpful and flexible with checkin and checkout times to work with airline and cruise schedules. The apartment has been nicely upgraded recently, very clean and has everything you need. Bring eyemasks and earplugs. Its a bright noisy location.
In the heart of Waikiki! Walking distance from everything you need! Near bus line.
Accomodation is as stated, nice and close to food trucks/7-Eleven, pool is nice and deep.
Everything went smoothly
The cost of the apartment was less than others listed and so very good value. It was less than 10 mins walk to the beach - Fort Derussy beach - I think much nicer than Waikiki as it was much quieter and right in front of a lovely park. Supermarkets were under 15 mins walk away, as was Waikiki itself. Busess were just a street away. So all in all it was a good location - walking distance to everything. The host Dan was excellent at communication and there was everything you could need in the flat - from very sharp kitchen knives ( so good!) to beach towels, beach chairs, snorkels, pilates ball, weights, yoga mat, all manner of cleaning products, and all basic essentials in the kitchen. As there was no one in the apartment the night before, Dan was kind enough to let us have an early check in. There were doors for both bedrooms ( not the case in many places - open plan living ) and a large comfy sofa in the sitting room. A good size dining table and adequately equipped kitchen.The pool is positioned so that it doesn't get much sun but was fine for a cooling-off quick dip. The beaches are stunning in Oahu so you'll just want to swim in that glorious sea Thank you so much Dan for making our stay very comfortable .
This was a great place to stay. The listing was accurate. We were able to utilize street metered parking on the weeknights(free after 10pm-6am) the weekends we used the recommended parking garage. I really liked that there were beach items available. We were pleasantly surprised about having coffee maker and other items in the kitchen. The host communicated well too. Overall this was a great experience.
Walking distance to the beach and shopping. We did NOT rent a car based on what the owner stated in the descriptions. We used an uber multiple times and used Turo rental for a couple of days to explore more of the island. It was much cheaper than renting a car and paying for parking somewhere. It IS in a city. There are city noises (cars, people, sirens, etc.). Thankfully, the owner provided ear plugs. There are multiple fans to keep cool and an A/C system that looked fairly new--it worked well, but we had to empty the pan underneath the system (outside on the balcony) fairly often. Dan was a great communicator and was very responsive. We had all our basic needs in the kitchen and bathroom and it was nice to have beach towels and chairs. It was very clean and we felt safe. :). Hopefully the owner of the building replaces the hydraulic ram on the door for the emergency stairs in the hallway outside one of the bedrooms--it was VERY loud in the middle of the night. We liked that there were doors for each bedroom. It was my husband and I and our two adult children who stayed there. Overall, we would recommend.
Dan's 2 bedroom 1 bathroom condo is perfect. It is within walking distance of the Waikiki strip, we had a beautiful view of the Ala Wai Canal, and the property is clean and comfortable. Staying at this property made my husband and bestie's first trip to Hawaii perfect. We had a blast and look forward to going back as soon as possible.
Was clean but parking was a pain and last minute detail I was not aware of.
