Plenty of space for all- loved having 3 bathrooms! Good location, nice building, friendly staff, plenty of parking (paid).We would likely look to vrbo instead of hotel rooms on future trips.

Perfect spot for our group. Views were amazing and the location was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Only negative mark is fire alarm went off twice and once at 5am. Water was also shut off for 3 hours.

This penthouse was a perfect stay for three fanilies. We had plenty of room for all of us to have our own rooms and bathrooms. We had the kids stay down stairs with their moms, while my mom and I had the upstairs. We had total provacy and couldnt hear a thing when they watched tv and woke up early. Perfect view from the balcony of all the cuty.

As a family of grandparents, a great uncle, grand daughter, daughter, son and daughter in law, we cover 75 to 11 in ages. The views were amazing and close to areas of interest. We found the host very responsive and appreciated their prompt responses and actions. Thank you

Our family of 7 stayed here for our vacation in Honolulu and it was perfect. There was plenty of space, and the location was central to everything. Highly recommend this location!!
Plus the donut shop in the lobby is to die for

The property itself is a little run down, but the unit was decent and the view cannot be beat. Some kitchen towels and hot pads would have been nice. But the highlight was by far the view, which was totally worth it. Lots of stuff to walk to for food and shopping.

First off the location is great and the view is beautiful. The listing pictures are not accurate and there are some issues that need addressing in the home.
Our issue came on day 3 when we told the host that we would be out of toilet paper by the next day. His reply was that this “wasn’t a hotel “ and we would have to buy our own. Only after I threatened to mention that in my review did he offer to send some over the next day. We were also out of garbage bags and there was no handsoap in any of the 3 bathrooms.
When the lady came by the next day to drop the stuff off she was told she was only allowed to give us one bar of soap. One of the mini hotel bars. She said she thought it was ridiculous too but that was her instructions.
We never did get detergent for the dishwasher
I guess that’s what happens when you don’t care about whether your clients are looked after when you charge them the kind of money that they do. Even the crappiest motels at least give you soap and toilet paper.

Our family stayed here in January. It was my husband and myself and our two twenty-ish kids. We very much enjoyed our stay. The location was great and within walking distance of a lot of stuff. There was plenty of room for the four of us, and our kids were able to each have their own room. I had read comments about the elevator being slow and that the washer/dryer didn't work very well, but we did NOT find this to be true at all. It looked like the dryer lint trap had not been emptied in a long time, but we removed the lint and it worked great! The only negative was that there were hardly any drinking glasses, regular utensils (spatulas, mixing spoons, etc. for cooking) and serving bowls. Other than that very minor issue, it was a great place to stay and we would stay there again!

It was difficult to find a place large enough to comfortably accommodate 6 adults and this was one of the few options available. This penthouse worked perfectly for us. It’s a short walk to Waikiki beach, Kalakaua Ave with lots of shopping and restaurants, International Marketplace, Ala Moana mall, and TWO 7-11s. 7-11s on Hawaii are nothing like 7-11s on the mainland. They’re safe, clean, and have a large variety of delicious musubi (rice balls)
The unit itself was spacious and had incredible views. We could see Diamond Head, Waikiki, Punchbowl, and the Friday night fireworks. There’s a huge balcony that’s nice to sit on to watch sunsets. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed for the few meals we prepared. There’s a washer and dryer in the unit, which came in handy.
It was nice to have lots of beach towels available. There’s also some beach toys if you have kids. Parking is available for $40/day (cash) or there’s a Hui car rental right in the bldg. There’s also bus stops nearby and you can get to and from the airport for $3/person
The location is great. We walked to Zippy’s (best fast food!), Kona Coffee Purveyors (best lattes), House Without A Key at Halekulani (best breakfast buffet). I wanted to go to Arnold’s Beach Bar (heard they have good, cheap drinks) but ran out of time. It’s about block from the unit.
Appreciated the clear communication with the property managers. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful.
Mahalo!

There was 7 adults that stayed in this penthouse. Plenty of room for all. Easy check in. Other reviews complained about the elevators. We never had an issue with them, considering we were on the 44th floor. The view from the penthouse is beautiful. If I had to say anything negative about this place would only be the mattress on the sofa bed needs to be replaced. Very uncomfortable for an adult. All other beds extremely comfortable. Thank you so much for letting us stay here. We would love to come back.

This property was great for me and my husband, and our parents. The elevators are very quick and appear to have been recently upgraded, so we had no issues like some prior commentors did. Some of the condo is run down, e.g., bubbling paint in places, toilet paper holders fall off walls, but given the view, location, and size, this is an excellent value for the price. Also, when we had an issue with the tv, the property manager was very responsive and fixed it within a couple hours.

Check in was excellent. Hotel counter will not assist you as they are only there for hotel customers and not 3rd party. Elevators are an issue. 3 elevators with 1 broken whole time we were there. Parking was $40/day cash but you can get in/out whenever you want. Picture of inside of apartment is not accurate. Furniture is old and worn down, really takes away from the beautiful view and what the apartment could really look like, needs someone to put fresh paint and new furniture in living room and it would be dynamite. Bedrooms were great, beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were small but accomodating. Kitchen was fine and great to have washer and dryer. Very close to beaches (15-20 minute walk or 5 min drive drop off. Having a car is not worth it if you are just going shopping and to the beach. Had an issue with AC and they fixed it within 24 hours and provided a credit without asking, real classy move. Balcony overlooking Honolulu at night is breathtaking
