We enjoyed the property for our 3 day visit. It is located in a great area with an easy walk to Waikiki but far enough away to enjoy the quiet and nearby park. The management company was very responsive when we had an issue accessing the property. The building is a bit older and dated and could use a few repairs but it was a great location to stay for a few days.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Unit was clean. We took advantage of the on site parking for an extra fee. We contacted the manager in regards to one concern and he responded quickly. We would stay here again.

So here are the positives: - extraordinary views from windows and lanai. The pictures understate the views. - great location, separate from the cacophony of Waikiki but an easy, safe, short walk to everything - bed was comfortable and bedroom cooled well - parking arrangement thru prop manager was ideal, make sure and pre arrange parking. And then the issues: condo building is from the 60s, still nice but tired. condo unit is years past last renovation and shows it. Worn carpet, walls, furniture and in need of an investment. toilet is not super functional. Flushes sometimes with effort. wall AC units work hard to cool den. Blinds closed made the difference but was warm first day. All in all, we would definitely stay again in this area, and if there was some modest maintenance and updating would love to stay in this unit again.

Spent 4 days on Oahu, and this condo was amazing. Great views of the ocean from the balcony were a great day to start and end each day. Modern interior, with very comfortable bed and great location, as we were in walking distance to Waikiki Beach, and a quick drive to our hike at Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, etc... Would highly recommend this spot. Host was great with communication.

I have stayed in this building in many different units and they never disappoint. This unit was very comfortable but it could stand a little TLC with some fresh paint and a few updates. Still a fabulous unit to stay in.

Diamond Head Beach Hotel is out of the Waikiki crowds but close enough for delightful walks to all points if interest. This unit, on the 8th floor, has marvelous relaxing views of the surf and mountains. The management is very responsive to all requests. A great place!

This condo is delightful - open and airy with a lanai perched over the ocean. We loved it's location. a brisk walk from strip Waikiki strip and strolling distance to a sweet beach by the Outrigger Canoe Cub. Inside, the furnishings were nice and the on-site team responsive and helpful. We will be back. Thank you for a great time!

Location was fantastic. You’re still close to Waikiki but far enough away to avoid the crowds and loud noises. The view from the lanai is amazing and so relaxing. I suggest paying for parking rather than parking on the street. It’s worth the money. The host was very attentive and was easy to communicate with. My only suggestion for the owner is to update the condo. For example, the carpet in the bedroom is old and stained, the kitchen handles are rusting, and the door to the lanai can’t be closed all the way when you’re outside otherwise you could be locked out. I’d definitely stay again but, considering how much is paid per night, a little investment in updates is a reasonable suggestion.

This unit is nicely updated and furnished. Beautiful views from multiple windows and the ocean front lanai is the perfect venue for your morning coffee or happy hour Mai Tai. We hope to stay here again.

This is a great location in Waikiki Beach area.... quiet but very convenient to everything... there is no immediate beach access but its just a short walk to the beach...across the street from a huge park (Kapiolani Park)...This unit is very comfortable with a fantastic view from the backside lanai...although the property is a bit dated with only window units for AC but wasn't a real issue during the day because you can get a great breeze with the windows open... during the night was a bit less convenient with the noise of the window unit for comfort. Overall a very reasonable location and price point. Also great communication with the property manager. Also, if driving a car I would recommend the condo parking if avaiable very convenient.

The location is beautiful and quiet, but the stay was not as expected. Clearly a second thought for living needs by the property management or owner. Our toilet, the only one in the VRBO began leaking from internal components one day. Although the communication to get the situation in process for a fix was relatively easy, the idea that cleaning supplies and the expectation of me to clean the issue is not at all my role in the stay. Upon dropping off the cleaning supplies, the property management adjusted the toilet to the point it would no longer flush, and it wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that the issue was resolved. This led to further frustration with small items that had not been dealt with. The single teflon frying pan was badly scarred and not usable, the toaster had elements lose that would absolutely burn one piece of toast long before the other was done, and the doors were very hard to operate. Obviously a lack of attention to detail in the smaller items. But to put the expectation of cleaning up a leaking toilet for 24 hours is the reason I will never return.

Great property tucked away from Waikiki. Very well equipped, super fast internet, views are incredible. Can’t wait to return.

This condo is away from the Waikiki crowd but close enough to walk and enjoy the area. Layout of the condo is very spacious with spectacular views. Kitchen has everything you need if you don’t want to eat out every meal. Couch and bed are super comfy. Sunset is absolutely gorgeous from the lanai. Very relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely want to come back here and stay! Definitely recommend purchasing the parking pass for the basement!

This is truly a gem of a property! Walkable to the hustle and bustle of Waikiki but away from all the traffic. The condo is well appointed and the view from the lanai is unbeatable!! We enjoyed the sunrise over diamond head and the sunset over the ocean every night! We would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to a few others. Thank you for an amazing stay!

We stayed for four nights and two nights and three days were terrible, stormy weather so we didn’t get to enjoy the wonderful lanai with its sea view which would be a joy in better weather and which is the best aspect of the condo. The couch and bed were comfortable. Living room is spacious and kitchen is functional. There were a number of maintenance issues including broken drapes (especially in the bathroom and bedroom where the drapes did not cover the windows!), a need for repainting (the place looks, and therefore feels, rundown), and the locking mechanism to the sliding glass door to the lanai which was broken. The owners said they were going to fix the door problem immediately and I assume they will. If the owners attended to the maintenance issues,, the place would be excellent. Location is excellent in terms of closeness to ocean and beach and the lovely park — much nicer than downtown — but there are no walkable grocery stores and not many walkable restaurants unless you’re willing to trek quite a ways (not so fun in heat or rain). Host communication was excellent.

This place is beautiful and the location is great! We went for our honeymoon and enjoyed the increible view to the ocean and mountains. Is it also located at a walking distance to the beach. Would definitely come again!

This balcony and quiet nook sets the mood and tone of the day and night . Waikiki is very busy however you can hear the ocean waves and see the ocean unobstructed and you forget the hustle. Trade winds in living room were enough to cool the place down in mid 80 heat . Air conditioning in room is window style so it is loud. Other than that it is wonderful! Will recommend this besides a hotel .

Arrived and property manager had lights on for us and air conditioning running as we got in late. Very comfortable place and so enjoyed the view off the lanai. Kitchen could use some additions but property manager supplied us with what we needed...wine glasses. Overall condo could use some maintenance...sliding doors need some help, painting and tv in bedroom. However with all of those needs we had a wonderful time and the location is perfect.
