Good location to beach, shopping, and activities. Kitchen has everything you need for a short stay. Views of the mountains, Ala Wai, and partial of Diamond Head. No ocean view or sounds of the ocean...just the AC on a neighboring complex. Overall...ok and comfortable.

Wanted to review in more detail, but can't due to size limitation, so:
Check-in/out was ok, worked, but clunky (hint- have security give out/collect parking passes and fobs) 7/10
Hallway to unit - disgusting 3/10
Unit - excellent, 9.5/10. Carpet somewhat past replacement date, but everything spotlessly clean. Great mattress/pillows, excellent AC, balcony with seating, lots of supplies/amenities.
I'd like to stress that the following is NOT in any way VRBO's or the owner's direct fault, but it is relevant....
We were evacuated from the apt. around 4PM of our 2nd day there, by the police, along with everyone else from the 16th, 17th and 18th floors. There was an incident with a resident 1 floor above us. A mentally unwell man, apparently known to police, allegedly assaulted one of the staff, may have intentionally spilled some "chemicals" into other units and/or dumped them off his balcony, was brandishing a knife. Took the police till 3AM to resolve the situation. By 1AM (having been "on the street" for 9 hrs or so and completely exhausted) we got ourselves a room elsewhere (at our own expense). We returned to our VRBO unit the next morning.
We feel the building is a bit mis-represented, as to how upscale it is (isn't). More than a few sketchy-seeming people in the hallways/elevators. We weren't totally comfortable. This corner of Waikiki is kind of on the fringe. A far cry from the other, nicer end of Waikiki where we spent our night "out".

Nice condo, clean and comfortable. Parking included which can be very expensive. Only issue was construction which caused the power and water to be shut off multiple times. Had to sit in the lobby one evening for 1/2 an hour until the elevators were turned on again.

Midway Reality is superior in managing this property. I would highly recommend staying in their managed properties!

The place is same as described and it’s located two blocks from the beach. It’s easy to go around and we feel safe walking back home at night. One thing tho, I wish we have more beach towels since we only have one each for the whole trip and the laundry takes a while. Everything else was great.

The positives: spacious, well laid out, great view, can access the balcony two ways; Opportunities for improvements: NO toaster as listed, no pot holders to cook with, bare minimum at best; two beach towels; shower barely puts out any water, no drying rack, no extra beach accessories, toys -- It didn't say it had these things but for the price. This is my fourth trip to Hawaii and this is at best basic. Towels are rough, toilet paper is the super cheap brand, bathroom vent doesn't work for those times when you need it to work! Couch is super uncomfortable to sit on, When relaxing we often just laid in the bed because of the couch. The bed was great!!! I think for the price you can find a place that gives you the 'extras' at no charge. The management company was super helpful and communicative, but again when you look on VRBO you can find something better for the price. If you are going to provide basics then the price should reflect that.

This was my first time visiting Honolulu and we enjoyed our stay. The condo was awesome, everything was great from beginning to end. We had a great view of the Diamond Head as well and the mountains and we were able to take in the awesomeness of the beautiful sunrise every morning. The condo was fully furnished with everything needed for cooking and the grill in the pool area was an added bonus for grilling on several nights after a long day at the beach and sight seeing. Overall a great stay and close proximity to the beach, great restaurants and and anything you wanted to do like shopping:) we would definitely stay here again.

Lovely little place to stay in Waikiki. Expansive city and mauka views from the lanai and floor to ceiling windows.
Secure building with parking included. Beach chairs and cooler enhanced our daily adventures. An easy walk to the Honolulu Zoo and Waikiki beaches. A short walk to shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the sundeck and took advantage of the grills to BBQ some chicken for supper. Coin/card operated washer and dryer at the end of the hall.

The location and communication with the property management was very good. The property however could use some TLC:
* Carpet smells and is dirty, needs changing
* thermal plastic on cupboards has melted
* kettle bottom is missing so must boil water using stovetop
* ceiling above microwave is damaged
* kitchen and bathroom lightbulbs constantly flicker
* weak water pressure

Great spot - couple blocks to beach, easy onsite parking, even tho we didn't have a beach view, the view of diamond head and the golf course was nice.
1 block to the bus and easy walking distance to lots of things. Would stay here again.

The photos are accurate (except no food).
Few amenities. Salt and Pepper only.
No spices. Enough coffee for two cups. I guess we should be grateful…
Furnished in the 1990’s, the wear and tear have taken a toll. Wall art faded. Furniture and carpet are frayed. Door to deck does not open from the living room. Bed linens are thin and old. Elastic fittings do not hold sheets into place. Every night is a tangle.
No water pressure in shower. If you could shower in the faucet you might be able to get your hair wet for washing.
We used it for what it was and enjoyed the area immensely but would choose a different VRBo next time. Or a hotel.
We have traveled w VRBO for 20 years in all parts of the world. This fits into the bottom rung of experiences.

My friend and I always wanted to come to Hawaii. This location was perfect. Close to the beach and eating locations. We had a great time.

We had a wonderful time staying at this apartment - it was really clean and easy to access. The beach was just a minute away and it was so close to the main street (but just far enough away that it didn't feel too busy). Loved using the gym and free parking as well!

Location was great. Easy walk to the beach, stores and restaurants. Kitchen had everything to make a quick meal. Loved sitting on the lanai early morning or the evening.It was great having the parking pass included in the rental.
It had everything you could want . I’d rent it again.

We stayed at this property after departing a cruise. Using the DACK tool was very easy for check in and to communicate with the property manager. The property manager was very quick to reply to any requests/questions.
The description of the condo was accurate. The bedroom has a king size bed with tv, side table, dresser and a large closet. The living room has a sleeper sofa (my teenage son slept on it), tv, dresser, side table and chair. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We only made breakfast during our stay. We didn't use the pool or the gym but both were being used by other guests.
Two comments, mainly for awareness: 1) the condo is very busy, although options were showing available in the DART app to check in early and/or check out late, these were not approved by the property manager. This was due to the condo being booked before and after our stay. This made our days a long since we departed the ship at 7am on Saturday and our flight wasn't until 5pm on Monday. My biggest concern was leaving our suitcases in the car to see the sites while waiting to check in/out of the condo.
2) When you arrive at the condo you will need to get a ticket at the parking garage but you will not pay for parking as long as you bring down the parking pass (in the condo) and ticket each time you leave the parking garage. On departure date bring your car down to the front lobby first and load your luggage, then go back up to put the parking pass back in the condo. It is a bit of a pain logistically but at least you do not have to pay for parking. This is a HUGE plus since parking in Waikiki can be anywhere from $45-$48/night.
The location of the condo is great. It is within 5 mins walking distance to the beach, ABC store, Starbucks and many restaurants.

We had a comfortable stay. Simple, don’t expect an high end accommodation. Walking distance to the beach and strip for shopping. The unit is equipped to what we need. Will definitely stay to this property again.

We stayed in the unit for a little over two weeks and enjoyed our time there! It's in a great location, while being away from the loudness in the main parts of Waikiki. We enjoyed the mountain views from our lanai. The building also has good amenities, such as gym, pool, BBQ grills, and coined (or card) laundry on every floor. Because we were working remotely from here, we cooked some meals in the unit. The kitchen/cook ware, like knives and cutting board were a little old, but it was manageable. Again, this was a comfortable and great stay! Mahalo

This condo was perfect for our needs! Free parking is hard to beat. The small lanai was a great way to spend the morning.
Despite some minor cleanliness issues when we checked in that we were able to resolve ourselves, I really enjoyed our stay. Some things look a little dated (the blackout curtains to prevent the morning sun from coming in are a little old) could use a refresh and the cutting board is so warped it can almost double as a bowl.
If you have issues with loud tenants below like we did, talk to the security guard at the front desk (The info binder doesn't have their information).
Would definitely consider staying again on a future visit to Oahu.
