I stayed for two nights. The apartment was stocked with everything needed and was well maintained. The air conditioner worked well, and check-in was an easy process and went exactly as expected. Parking was tight, but that’s to be expected downtown and many options were given.

This Waikiki condo was spotless and beautifully decorated, with incredible views and just a short walk to the beach. I was visiting for work, and the location made it easy to navigate around town. The check-in and check-out instructions were clear, and everything went smoothly during our stay—no issues at all!

Our room was very clean. Owner was cery easy to get on touch with because of wifi issue but he fixed immediately and he checked to make sure it was resolved.

location was absolutely perfect. Very close to the beach and all of the downtown attractions we also had a car location was easy to get out of the downtown area to wherever you wanted to go. Was very comfortable clean had everything we needed building was safe and secure. We use the parking garage that was attached. Didn’t have to worry about parking.

Daughter got married on a north shore beach, grandkids loved being close to beaches & shopping. Somehow the condo worked for all of us! Aaron has many sleeping options, even baby things needed when traveling. The ice chest is about 8”x10” but was great with a few frozen water bottles. The beach toys & towels were good- a few extra fins & masks. We left some hand towels and wash cloths, and a bath mat for us old ones. Getting into the lockbox can ruin a few nails, and parking is skinny & takes many turns trying to get in! I think the bigger bedroom should have some drawers or shelves, but just a closet. We put the coffee table & chairs in the hall to set suitcases on for kiddos. Easy walk to beach , food, and stores. The view is toward the mountains, but ok. If going to Waikiki we would choose this again.

We had a great experience! It is a small but cozy studio apartment with a kitchenette and an awesome check-in process. I also really enjoyed the fact we could lock up our valuables in the room and then hit the beach without having to worry about our stuff while swimming. They had a clean space, plenty of towels, and were very responsive when we had a minor issue and corrected it right away. We definitely recommend!

Cute little studio with a great sized bathroom/wardrobe. Very clean, not much noise from neighbors. Easy access once you know how. Needs an electric jug

We are glad we rented this unit. The location is super close to everything - the ocean, a mall, moped rentals, restaurants, etc. The views are spectacular and there is a rooftop pool, spa, and pool table that add to the charm. One important thing to note - the couch is too small for an adult person to sleep on but they there is a comfortable queen-sized blow-up mattress that is easy to use. We had two family members rent nearby but our unit is where everyone wanted to be to enjoy Mai Tai's/Hawaiian punch and play No Mercy Uno (which we picked up at Target). Oh, I forgot to mention, my tall husband really liked the ceiling-height shower head.

Small sized but enough for two people. I liked the location and proximity to beach. We were able to walk to anything we needed . I would use again.

The whole booking process was smooth and convenient. Everything you need is provided. They have some kitchen gadgets where you can eat in if you'd like. A little smaller of a space but perfect for 2. Convenient location, super close to a lot of places and so easy to walk to the beach. They provide beach chairs which was so nice! The only negative thing I can say about this place, is you can hear outside pretty well (we didn't have our air unit on at night so that may have helped drown out the noise) and the trash trucks come through really early. And we were then awake for the day. But that could have just been something we noticed and was already struggling with a 6 hour time difference. The place was clean and felt safe. Communication with owner was great! Would definitely stay here again!

This building is a great location to all things in Waikiki, including the 3 block walk to the beach. The management was a breeze to communicate with before and during our trip. Those are the upsides to staying here. The price is decent but the room could really use a deep clean, especially the bathroom and it needs a fresh coat of paint. The AC unit is extremely loud when it runs so if you're a light sleeper, this is not the room for you. One of the outlets next to the bed only had one working plug-in. We could never get more than luke-warm water out of the kitchen faucet and the balcony with the AC unit, had standing water on it most days. Wailkiki buildings are old and rundown and this one was no exception. If you don't care about your room and want a great location at a decent price, this works.

wonderful location one block from beach, numerous eating options within walking distance, free parking, and felt safe in building/garage. condo had everything for our family of 4 - beach chairs and wagon were an extra plus.

We really enjoyed this condo and found it to be an efficient and affordable base camp for exploring Waikiki. The bed was super comfortable to sleep on, the AC cooled the room off quickly, the futon was nice to sit on at the end of the day and watch TV, the small kitchen had all the necessities, and the WiFi worked great! We walked to the beach, the International Market, and the ABC store on the corner frequently. We definitely recommend this condo and hope to stay here again!

It is a small studio located walking distance to the beach, restaurants/food trucks and near bus stops for local transportation. The building is outdated but the studio is clean and decently maintained. I appreciated all of the beach gear such as the towels, chairs, and umbrella. I would recommend this location for short 3-4 day stays.

We loved our stay here. It was clean and had many appreciated amenities (including beach umbrellas, chairs and toys for the sand!). We loved that we could easily walk to Waikiki beach and back as well as being right around the corner from a bus stop with buses that took us everywhere we were hoping to go including Pearl Harbor and the airport. Aaron was very helpful and prompt with communication and everything was as advertised. Would highly recommend!

This property is amazing!! The condo is very nice and the building has lots of amenities (rooftop is really great). The parking is kinda tight, but manageable. If your new to the cooktop like I was, use the speckled cookware (not all pans work). Janet was really great and responded to our communications quickly. The view is breathtaking and proximity to everything was really nice. Would not hesitate to book this property again.

I didn't like the tightness of the underground parking. Also, the garage floor was flooded after rainfall.

Convenient location. Few minutes' walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. Kitchen doesn’t have any basic condiment like sugar pkts for coffee. The condo is very old-style deco. Does not have the Hawaiian vibe. Definitely needs a makeover and upgrading. Both sliding doors are difficult and a pain to open due to rust and dirt at the bottom. The balcony rails are covered so you can’t enjoy the scenery sitting down. You can see partial ocean view from the balcony standing up. Bathrooms are nice and roomy but needs more towel holders, shelves and hooks. No where to hang 4 wet towels after showering. The master bedroom mattress squeaks a lot. Needs to be replaced. Wifi was not working so I lost half a day’s work since I was on a work holiday. The elevator didn’t work one day. Being on 15th floor it was difficult for my 80-year-old partner to walk down the stairs. Also, I don’t like the early 10am check out. Most places are 11:00 am. I will not be staying here again. Not as nice as the pictures

This stay was in a great location, even closer to the beach than I pictured! Perfect for people renting a car (the parking garage underneath has windows with lots of spots). If you are concerned about parking - early morning and late night (after 8 pm) are best times to get zoo parking. During the day we had luck with the garage right underneath this unit. Peter was very helpful, check in and checkout were a breeze. A great deal compared to some of the pricier hotels surrounding!

Great apartment and location. Some dirty sheets we had to get changed but Aaron was very responsive. Both Elevators went out our last day and had to haul luggage down from 16th floor. Advertised as two double pull out sofas but only has one which made it a little tight for our party of 7. Overall great location and easy check in/out and love the free parking.

May 2024

Great location, super clean, air conditioned, and free parking, exactly what you want when on vacation to Hawaii. The only negatives, the room safes were locked and inaccessible. We let the property manager know, they acknowledged but did not respond to fix the problem. Also, the living room is quite small with limited seating… fortunately we spent very little time in the room. We would return without any hesitation.

It is located two blocks from the beach. It had all the amenities we needed for a great beach vacation. Sparsely but adequately stocked kitchen. Beach chairs and beach towels available for use. Secure building and easy to access. Bus stop on the corner. Be aware it is located in a very busy and noisy city. If city noise bothers you, this is not the place for you otherwise the location is spectacular.

Nice clean room, water off one day but not host problem. Nice safe entry with security present. Secure elevator and room. Room very clean and everything we needed to make our stay wonderful.

My husband and I really enjoyed our trip. The host was very helpful and readily available when we needed. Accomodations over exceeded out expectations and it was a wonderful trip. Location is perfect for walking distance to the beach, shopping centers, and food. Very much recommend this host and the location of this property. Also not much noise at night from the night life so absolutely perfect for a honeymoon or anniversary kind of trip.

My girlfriends and I of 40+ years had a girls vacation while visiting my son who lives in Waikiki. Condo was great and views were wonderful. The roof top pool and spa were enjoyable. We even bbq'd one night! Beach was two short blocks away. Major shopping and restaurants we're close by. I can also recommend waikikisailing.com for the turtle snorkeling! The crew was wonderful and fun. AND wear proper shoes when hiking, I saw several families with flip flops trying to hike to the waterfall. Mahalo

We had a wonderful time at the property. While it doesn't have an ocean view, it is just 3 minutes walk to Waikiki beach and many good restaurants. It has a relaxing atmosphere and it was so nice they supplied all the basics. The kitchen had coffee, tea, spices, and creamer. The apartment had beach towels, snorkeling gear, boogie boards and beach chairs. There was TV with Netflix access. Perfect for both relaxation and adventure. Thank you Aaron for the great communications.

Really enjoyed my stay in this property. Everything is as described in the listing, and the Waikiki location is excellent. Access to the unit was easy thanks to the host's clear and detailed instructions. Kitchenette is nicely equipped and the bath had every amenity I needed. Being a solo traveler on this trip, I really appreciated the security of this property - nice to feel safe. Thanks, Peter, for a wonderful stay and I hope to return.

This place is located in the heart of everything that downtown Waikiki brings you. All three excursions wr booked offered pickup but at only certain hotels which we were only 2 blocks down from the Hyatt Regency Spa. Which made this location idea if you’re not wanting to stay at a really busy hotel in which most of them are. This place is suited for either a single person or couples. Anything more is asking for someone to sleep on the couch. Wife and I got lucky as well as they were celebrating some kinda of Hawaiian festival that weekend and started shooting fireworks for almost 45 minutes long. Janet’s place was right the middle of that view! Don’t hesitate if thinking about staying because this is definitely one of those hidden gems you don’t want to pass you by.

The property was extremely cozy with great amenities. It was walking distance to everything We're most impressed with our host Peter for his flexibility and assistance. We would definitely consider staying there again in future trips.

March 2024

This is the perfect place to stay. It fit all 8 of us, and was only two blocks to the beach and stores. The street it sits on isn’t busy, so you don’t hear all the noise. Beds, hide-a-bed and cots were comfortable. Two bathrooms- 1 shower, 1 tub/shower. It was clean. Since it’s two apartments, there are two fridges for extra groceries. He had beach towels, snorkels, sand toys, and boogie boards (I think that’s what they are called). The kids had a bald at the beach with them. We rented a minivan and it fit well into the parking space. I loved having a place to park for free. I would definitely recommend this place.

Two blocks from Waikiki, this place was in the ideal location for our surf trip. Our favourite surf rental shop (Moku) is a block away. Maguro spot and Musubi Cafe are downstairs/around the corner. So convenient, we could come home to freshen up after surfing or grab a bite to eat. The layout of the place is great and it comes with two small beach chairs (not the most comfortable but they do the job if you aren’t sitting too long), beach towels, and a cooler. The kitchenette is great for reheating food but I wouldn’t prepare a real meal here. Again, this was fine for our stay. I was surprised there was no shampoo, conditioner, body soap etc. when I checked the listing it indeed does not say these things are provided. My bad! I guess I’m just used to having these small amenities. No big deal, ABC convenience stores are everywhere in Waikiki and we were able to pick some up quickly. Left a bottle of shampoo here for the next guest. The host was super communicative and clear, and provided all information needed ahead of time. We were out of reception area before arriving but were grateful to have received messages with check in information well before we arrived. We were even able to check in early which was a huge bonus given our flight arrived at 11AM. All in all, we would recommend staying here and will be back for another surf trip!
