Reviewer Comments:
This unit was very clean however it lacked attention to detail for a comfortable stay especially longer than one week. There is only one night stand next to the queen bed so you can't charge your cell phone or put a drink near the bed on one side. Why would you only buy one nightstand? Also, the pillows are horrible, they are $2.99 pillows from Walmart, if you stay here bring your pillows. The TV is way too small for the space. When you are in bed it's difficult to see or hear the TV because it's so small and far away. TVs cost nothing today, so why would you put such a small TV in a large space? The room has a small couch however it could use a chair too especially for longer stays. The kitchen lacks some basic items and/or some of the items are at their useful life and need to be replaced. The silverware is mismatched, the pasta strainer is too small to hold 1lb of pasta, the measuring cup is too small, no pizza cutter, the toaster needs to be replaced, only one small frying pan, the iron didn't work, the dustpan was broken and taped, vent and shower curtain rod in the bathroom have years of rust. The kitchen rug is dirty and disgusting and should be removed or replaced. No hand soap in the bathroom just one small bar of soap for the shower. The view is amazing when you are on the balcony however from inside the unit not so much. The windows were tinted many years ago and now the tinting is completely worn and torn in some places so the view from inside is cloudy. This unit has so much potential due to the view and its location but there is no feeling of love or care taken into consideration for the guest. The true owner of this unit needs to visit or stay there one night to completely understand my constructive review of their property. The property management company was responsive. I would stay at the Ilikai but I would not stay here again.

Room was as stated and everything worked properly.
The view was great and just a short walk out back on Friday to see fireworks.
Only suggestion we have is that the blinds would be replaced with some that block the sun more
Quite bright inside in the morning and late afternoon

We had a awesome time at the condo. The property manager was attentive and responded fast. When I asked for extra beach towel he made sure to contact the maid for it. The location of the condo had a great view of the beach and marina. Definitely would recommend and stay here again.
One tiny thing was just the toilet seat need some attention because it was loose.

Was a great choice for several reasons:Luana is a great property manager, they a prompt to emails and concerns; the ocean view over the marina is outstanding!; the sunsets are beautiful from the lanai; the suite is clean, no bugs, ceramic floors instead of carpet so really clean; we stay year over year!

We had a great stay at this 1406 Ilikai unit. The room was clean and quiet. AC worked great and cooled the room very fast when we turned it on. Great location and everything is within walking distance including a super convenient grocery store Food Pantry (6 min). We parked our car on the parking lot near the harbor. It's only $1/hour. Just make sure you to adjust/extend your hours promptly when you need to stay longer as the tow truck is always cruising the parking lot and tows the cars away very quickly. You'll see it from your balcony. Speaking of balcony, it's very spacious and the views are the best. Thank you for hosting us. We will gladly be back!

Clean and comfortable 😌 The only downfalls were not being able to see the fireworks from the lanai on Friday night. Just go outside by the pool or lagoon, and the AC wasn't great. I lived here for 6 months and it doesn't usually get in the 90s but it was during our stay. Overall everything was great

I’ve stayed at most of the hotels on the Waikiki strip and I have to say I preferred staying at this condo vs the resort hotels. I’m not someone who needs daily maid service, concierge or room service so this condo really made sense for my fiancé and I. While the room wasn’t perfect, everything worked, was reasonably clean and met my cost to value expectations fully. I definitely would stay here again in the future. The Ilikai is a bit dated, but still sparkles with some Aloha for its age. Thanks for renting your unit to us for the week!

unit 1406 is a great compact unit for 2 people - the unit could use a little updating and some additional furniture - I bought new pillows for the bed - you are welcome, but coffee on the lanai in the morning trumps everything that might want. The mgmt co. were also very helpful when we were stuck for a couple of extra days.

Both bed and sofa bed were comfy. Linens were clean. Unit as shown in photos. Location was great. Building staff were very friendly. I knocked out 1 star because the bathroom hot water plumbing kept making a high pitched noise all day. We couldn't figure out if it was a building plumbing issue or if it was related to the fancy toilet bidet system. Management is very quick to respond so hopefully they get this issue sorted soon. Otherwise highly recommend this unit with a great view of Hilton lagoon when their fireworks show resumes.

Very cute studio. Steps to the beach with a great view. The check in process was seamless which i was thankful for with my late arrival. I loved that this place was in the Ilikai hotel. The perks of staying in a private residence with the benefits of having coffee shops, food and stores on site. Would absolutely stay here again.

The pros of this rental:
-The view was great
- Bed and pillows were comfortable
- Bidet was great to have
- Hotel itself was a nice environment, getting to hear the live entertainment in the courtyard from the balcony was neat
- Local cable tv was included
Things we were disappointed with:
- We selected this rental specifically because it had a full oven, but there was no pans included to use in it
- Most rentals we've used with kitchens have had a small pantry selection, ie. Salt and pepper, oil, a few condiments. This is never mentioned in ads, but it does make a huge difference for cooking while on vacation.
- the floors/ bedding/ shower/counters were very clean, but all the "high-touch" zones (door knobs, cupboard pulls, light switch areas, mid-wall areas where someone would grab to stabilize) really needed a wipe as they were visibly soiled.
Overall, this was okay. I do expect a higher level of cleaning when we're paying a separate cleaning fee, but often hosts aren't able to check in to see for themselves. The kitchen being better equipped would also have improved our score, as we tend to cook quite a bit while away from home.
If you're looking for a condo that's got fairly easy access to beach, shopping, and restaurants, and a reasonably comfortable bed, you'll be happy with this rental.

Really enjoyed our stay here! Beautiful views and great location. We used this place to mainly sleep. It's great that there's a laundry on each floor which makes things a lot easier for us. We wish we could of have used the balcony more to enjoy the morning view, we have few days there but we spend most of our times traveling. We used the Valet parking during our stays.

Very first VRBO stay and first VRBO review. The property is nice enough but, the pool isn't a place for people looking for food, beverage, and atmosphere. More for quiet, retired people and families which is nice. The property itself is clean and had required amenities. I can say that the view is as promised. My colleague who rented a different studio wasn't as fortunate. The hotel doesn't let you use the gym, however, if you aren't a guest of the Ilikai (proper) and I'm pretty sure I saw images of the gym when researching this property so that was a bit of a let down. They had clothes hangers which was a nice surprise, extra linens, a coin operated laundry on the same floor, and extra supplies like TP and paper towels. The AC unit just barely did the trick. I prefer to sleep in cooler temperature than I could achieve with the wall unit but, overall it was adequate. Fridge was clean and so was the stove and kitchen overall. Don't plan on cooking any gourmet meals - the cookware is extremely limited which I'm guessing, is normal for VRBO locations?
Absolutely, loved the view.

Minor issues such as incomplete dish and glass sets and definitely silver ware. Needs newer toaster and larger coffee maker. The toaster gets dangerously hot to the touch. It would be safer if there were a coffee maker with an automatic shut-off. Lanai needs a thorough cleaning . There were only two wash cloths for the whole week for us two.
The view, however, was as good as it gets.

Stayed down here for a friends' birthday. Very convenient location. This is about a 15 minute walk away from Waikiki. Found a few stray hairs but apart from that was very clean. Wish they would have more kitchen utensils for people who want to cook there instead of eat out.
