It was perfect. Very spacious, clean, secured parking and building and located close to beach but not in the middle of Waikiki. Would definitely stay there when I come back.
The property is located at the Diamond Head end of Waikiki.Safeway store is located on Kapahulu just a mile away from the condo. Down to Earth Natural Foods on King street was a close drive too. As advertised we were able to walk across the street and be in Kapiolani Park. Near the zoo and the aquarium and a short walk to Kaimana Beach which was our go to beach. It was really good to be able to take a walk and get to the beach without driving. Mahalo Gina
Very secure, clean property. Nice owner. Parking a plus. Beach around the corner. Lots of shopping, restaurants and park/zoo across the street.
This condo was absolutely perfect for my little surf trip and the free, secured parking was the icing on the cake!
Gina is an excellent host with great communication. The unit is clean and adorable, and surprisingly well stocked: salt, pepper, olive oil, condiments, hot plate, rice cooker, beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach towels, sunscreen, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion and even nail polish remover. Would definitely recommend! Surfboard lockers were a bonus.
I am not a guy who complains a lot. Location was good, host was good and good communication with her, neighborhood was good, property manager and tenants were good. There was just one thing I should pay attention to and that is washer and dryer. Nobody's fault from mentioning above, just third party, who installed paying units on w/d. I had a problem to wash my clothes day before we were leaving, because the paying units were not working. Ended up to wash it by hands in my bathtub. Next day, before our flight back, the maintenance guy helped me out and was able to turn the dryer on, so all was good. I will certainly return to this place and to this host.
Wow, great property and super location! Where do I start...comfy bed and pillows, AC unit kept us cool, a kitchenette to cook just about anything you like, beach chairs & umbrella, beach towels, snorkel gear, 2 sizes of coolers and much more. A stocked medicine cabinet to help with anything you forgot aloe gel if you get too much sun. The building and parking is secured so no worries. Only a half block from the beach makes nightly sunset viewing easy. I would be remiss if I didn't say the room was small, but who spends that much time in any room while visiting Hawaii! It was perfect for us!
It was a great place for me (traveling alone) to stay. It was right by the beach--an easy walk to get to the beach. I also liked the private parking lot. Overall, Gina was a great host, had everything I needed.
Perfect spot for us as we planned to spend as little time as possible indoors. All amenities were clean, and enough more for what we expected/needed. Included parking is 100% worth it too! Loved that it was walking distance to everything in Waikiki, yet quiet at night. Check-in/check-out were very easy too. Mahalo!
We stayed at Tradewinds Plaza last year and had such a positive experience, we decided to book there again and it did not disappoint! We visit Oahu often and have stayed in many different hotels and condos throughout the years. We appreciate that this is a secure building, with a designated parking space. The condo is stocked with beach chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler, boogie boards, snorkels, literally everything needed to enjoy playing at the beach, which is just a short block away. The kitchen is also stocked with everything needed to cook full meals and has a full-size fridge. There is no view of the ocean and there can be some late night and early morning street noise, but the benefits of this location outweigh any negatives. We highly recommend this condo.
It met our expectations as we had planned.
We were greeted warmly by Tina and she explained everything we needed to get in and out of the property. We lived in Hawaii for a few years so I knew how valuable a place with a parking spot is and it was perfect. Literally a block away from the Waikiki strip. We walked literally one block to watch the sunset every night. The apartment is super cozy and has everything you need for a beach stay. We didn’t need to buy any gear, it’s fully stocked with goggles, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, towels and much more! The kitchen has everything you need and she leaves you some yummy treats to welcome you. 5 stars all the way. I love the beach vibe of the room and the bed was super comfortable! We will definitely be back!!
Nice property, good location, easy check-in and out
The property was very comfortable. Excellent bed! Many supplies in the bathroom (shampoo, sun screen, etc.) Close to beach, stores, restaurants, etc. Book "lending library" in basement (by elevator.)
Lots of "beach stuff" in closet.
This is an excellent property if you plan on getting a car, if you'd like to be within 1 block of the beach, and if you plan on spending most of your time exploring - and the rates are good. Comfortable and clean unit. Enough amenities and equipment in the unit which is nice. The shower pressure is good, the sinks all drain rapidly. The ac unit does the job! Kitchenette is stocked. I did not have to use the laundry facilities but i heard there is something on property. Very quiet and conveniently located on the east side of the building on a higher floor. I will definitely try to stay here again.
Finding an affordable place to stay in Waikiki is a challenge. This place not only met my financial requirements, it was clean, cheerful, and well-stocked (including a portable cooktop, electric tea kettle, wine glasses, picnic gear, beach chairs, boogie boards, and beach towels), the host was communicative, and the location is excellent. I only rented a car for a few days of my stay, but the assigned parking spot was included and easy to access. I would definitely consider staying here again.
had a good time at ginas rental , clean and comfortable, will be back, jeff t
It was exactly what we were looking for: good, safe location away from Waikiki traffic, easy to get in and out of area, still walking distance to Waikiki attractions and great parking space. It is not overly spacious, it is between two hostels, and the shower is a little tight. For us, these things were irrelevant, but if you pay attention to the description of the property, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Gina and Tina for a great stay. We will try to get this place again the next time we go to Honolulu.
The apartment is small but has everything you need. The location is great. The beach is only 2 blocks away and there are plenty of shops and restaurants in walking distance. The freeparking spot is a big bonus. We met the housekeeper on arrival. She was very helpful and the place was spotless.
We spend a month or more on Oahu every year and this was one of the best experiences we've had. We love the location near the zoo and just a block from the beach. We appreciated having beach equipment available to use, including coolers, beach towels & chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, just everything we needed to enjoy time at the beach during our stay. Also, having a designated secure parking spot included gave us peace of mind. Nice secure building with a fully equipped kitchen so that we could cook our own meals. We have stayed in fancier, more expensive places with great views that we didn't enjoy as much as our time here. We highly recommend this VRBO unit!
