Great view and great building/ apartment
The unit and location were great! The balcony and the views are incredible and we enjoyed our time at this vrbo. We ran into a few issues with the shower temperature fluctuating, but the host had excellent communication on the issue and offered fast maintenance to resolve the problem. Overall great stay for a solo traveler or couples.
Very handy building : laundry swimming pool BBQ.. Nice big terrace.. Thnaks
Every thing was great overall. Unit was clean, well appointed, and in a great location. Exceptionally good location, especially for the price. Outside seating area was great.
Nice updated condo. Close to all beach areas. 49er breakfast was amazing in lobby. Had issue at check in but owners communicated within a few minutes. My only complaint was cleanliness. But kitchen was stocked with pans cups and utensils which was nice! View is beautiful and staff was friendly. Very safe. Hot tub was closed but pool was open :) Good value. Maintenance entered property while we were out for loud noise but no explanation was given which alarmed us but stay was generally good. Would recommend with attention to cleaning advised.
Island colony overall is dated. The unit itself was fairly clean but there was dust on all upper surfaces and cochroaches in the bathroom.
Great small condo for staying in Waikiki. The unit itself is tasteful and well maintained, and the overall building is in good shape. Recommended.
We stayed for 10 days and were pleased with the accommodations. As others have noted the check-in process was a headache, the codes provided do not work. A message using the VRBO app to renter was returned within 15 mins with a new working code. The suite was nice enough, the view and balcony are why we chose this listing and we couldn't have been happier with that decision. Morning coffee watching the sunrise was amazing! Being on the canal and on the 43rd floor was nice to be away from the noise at street level. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the building - though its an older building it was well maintained and the staff are all very friendly. The pool was great to use when we needed a break from the beaches. The laundry area was handy, and the convenience store was also nice to have when we needed a snack/drink. The suite was clean for the most part, there was some spaces with dust but it didn't really bother us. The bathroom and shower could use an update, but we are not picky travellers and again this was not a problem for us. The water pressure other reviewers mentioned was not a problem for us, there was more than adequate water pressure. I would 100% book this suite again if we return to Oahu, and have recommended it to friends thinking about travelling to Oahu
Great location to walk to all key Waikiki food and attractions. Lanai a great place to relax in afternoon.
Wonderful view - smaller than it looks like from pix. No oven - just cooktop.
Pleasing experience overall and crazy, beautiful views from the balcony. We loved our experience here. Just a few notes:
- Cleaners were late so we had to check in later, but the hosts were amazing in accommodating a later check-out. As a side, dirty cleaning equipment was left on the balcony.
- Handsoap was not provided for bathroom sink.
- Some unpleasant smell in the bathroom.
- Rusty shower curtain rod.
- Would be nice to provide scissors in the cabinet along with other kitchen necessities.
- Providing extra, larger towels for pool use would be great.
We stayed for just over a week. It is in a convenient location, only 2 blocks from the beach and close to all the amenities (Target, International Market, restaurant's and bus stop). The unit itself is on the 43rd floor and has the best view of Diamond Head and was clean when we arrived. Check in process was smooth. The only negative was that the pool and jacuzzi were closed for maintenance for most of our stay.
Location is great, literally steps away from shops, bars and restaurants. Walking few minutes to the beach.
The views from the balcony were super nice, on the left the canal and mountains, in front ,the diamond head,and the beacheson ths far righ..

I was able to spend everyday comfortably in a room with a wonderful view. The room was on top floor so it was very quiet. The location was also was great. If my friends want to come to Hawaii , I would recommend this room. Thank you very much.
Excellent views, great location. Older property but does its job. A code hiccup on arrival fixed by a phone call. Very helpful. For the price of the stay, it is on the mark.
Loved this place, just wished the restaurant was doing lunch and dinner too. Otherwise enjoyable stay, hotel accommodations were very good. Had most of everything.

My wife and I spent 6 nights, everything about the property was as described, neat, clean, beautiful balcony views, the management were very helpful. It's a straight walk down to the beach with great atmospheric shopping a good food all around. For us the location was great.

On the day we arrived we were given a non working code. We had to text call and email several times and finally 1 hr later we got a new code. Day 1 of our 7 day trip we had ac issues and told by building NOT to use the ac, we advised the host and was told someone would come to look into it. On day 3 we were emailing and calling and texting the host since no one had come to look at the ac. We could no longer deal with the heat that we were forced to book other accommodations and pay out of pocket again. To make things worse this was our honeymoon and we tried to be as patient as possible but the host Just stop responding last response we got from the host was on Monday day 3 of our honeymoon trip and still yet to hear from anyone. This made our honeymoon a living H*E*L*L
This place made our trip a living H*E*LL. When we arrived the code didnt work after a few calls and text messages we were provide a new code. On day 1 or a 7 day trip we were told not to use the ac as it was leaking into the downstairs unit. We called and sent text asking to be looked into. 3 full days of no ac and NO ONE coming to review the ac issue we were forced to stay in different location and worst part they stopped responding overall. No one everr returned a cal or a text . DO NOT BOOK HERE. OH YEAH WERE OUT OUR ENTIRE STAY AND HAD TO PAY FOR OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS
Room is good and clean! Nice view and good location. But bath tub was dirty. And hard to control water temp.
I had stayed with island colony before and have never been disappointed! The view was spectacular, there is none like it here in Waikiki and I have stayed in quite a few places. Everything that we needed was provided! Thanks again for a lovely stay.
Extremely clean, decorated, incredible view! Would recommend

We had a wonderful time at Island Colony. The condo was clean and comfortable with the most amazing views. It was close to Waikiki (just 5 minutes), and had a nice pool deck. Check-in, check-out and parking was a breeze. My only complaints: there was no ice tray in the freezer, so I couldn't make ice, and the air conditioning unit vents to the balcony (but we just turned it off when we were out there, so not a big problem). But other than that, perfect!
Had a great several days with my teenage son. The property is in a great location, the balcony is large and the views from the 43rd floor are amazing!
Great views worth the stay for the views
