My husband and I enjoyed our stay and the view was amazing! The location was close to the mall and so many other places that we didn’t need a car to get around. Would definitely recommend staying here!

The room was comfortable, smaller then expected but the view was nice. However do not recommend this place because the elevators issues. One elevator was completely down and the other was braking down 2 days out of our 6 night stay. We were on the 37th floor going up with groceries bad knees was a nightmare. We had asked for a discount or a night at the hotel to accommodate our inconvenience and that was ignored and was told the room was already disconnected because of the elevator issues. If we would have known that we would NOT have chosen that condo.

The view is amazing however the condo and property is run down and has roaches, the owner said its a normal thing for Hawaii to have bugs, the bed was broken, the owner said it could not be fixed at this time, you sink to the middle and the frame cracks every time you move, we were just waiting for it to collapse. There was only 1 working elevator to and from the 37th floor so the wait was at least a 5 minutes each time. The owner told me he would leave a bug fumigator on the counter to feel free to use it which is just crazy!!! I'm on vacation!!! When on vacation I expect my stay to be nicer than my home and this was very disappointing. I don't live with roaches in my home so why save my money to go on vacation to stay with them... I would leave lights on at night to help prevent the roaches from coming out, we brought food and snacks that we had planned on using there but ended up throwing everything away as we were disgusted. VRBO also did not help, I asked to be relocated to a different property and they gave me the runaround. Hawaii overall is beautiful but the stay here was the downfall to our vacation. My advice spend a little more and stay at the hotels, this place is not it!!!

Decent place to stay. Walking distance to beach and gym. Needed dish soap and bathroom soap. Overall, it was clean. Elevators slow ya down a bit. Everyone seemed to be friendly and nice. The price is right. If you looking for an affordable place to stay in Hawaii, this is a great place.

I truly wish that I could have been more generous with my rating of this property. The views and location provided by this property were absolutely incredible, in fact they are what led me to choose this option, along with the value of the price. During our last night at this condo my wife spotted a roach crawling across the kitchen floor. Needless to say we were both disgusted and uncomfortable with the thought of potentially bringing home roaches with our luggage. The manager of the property responded by saying this is a tropical environment and there's nothing they can do about it. We would not recommend staying here in light of this.

Well-maintained studio in a convenient location just outside of Waikiki. Was perfect for what I needed when I stayed there. Todd and Tom were responsive, though no real issues came up. Would happily stay there again in the future.

Overall great view. Room was clean w the exception of cockroaches. Mattress on the bed is horrible. Elevators are a nightmare. Never knew which one would be working. Iron and steamer did not work. Lawn chair was broken when we arrived. Had everything we needed. Would probably stay again, if cockroach and bed issues were resolved. Again….view was amazing.

The unit was well equipped. The view was fantastic and you can open the windows and get fresh air. It is in a great location with everything close by. The manager is was great and got right back to me when I had a question. There is a problem though. The elevators are in bad shape. There is only one working at this time and, being that this is a 40 story building, there can be 40 minute waits during busy times. While I was there the single elevator broke twice and was out of service for an entire day. I only had to walk down once... 37 floors...in 5 days but it was not a pleasant experience. Odds are they will work but there is a possibility of it not working.

Fantastic view, great value, terrific central location, lovingly furnished and with very helpful, responsive owners who replied promptly to our questions before our stay as well as a couple that popped up during our stay. Would definitely recommend and return!

I was very happy with the unit 3704 at Waikiki Marina. I'd rank it as 4.5 stars.
It's a great deal with great view to watch Friday Fireworks from the unit.
Pros: Parking is included in the price which saved a lot of $ b/c when I used to stay
at the hotels, they charge for parking daily and tip for vale parking in and out many times/day
was costly. Also, there's coined operated washer/dryer on the 3rd and 4th floor which was nice
Cons: Three minor issues: Elevator is slow; One of the refrigerator makes a lot of noise
(it bothers me at night), water pressure in the shower is weak due to the leakage on the shower head.
I'm waiting to get my $200 deposit back (not sure when they are supposed to return the deposit back.
My check out date was 5/20/16. Now it's 5/24/16).
Overall: Highly recommended this unit. Will definitely return and request for this unit with a great ocean
view (nothing blocking all the big windows!)

I would rate Unit 3704 as 4.5 stars. I checked in Friday night & saw a spectacular fireworks right in front of the 4 big panels of window! Overall is a great deal. I come back to Honolulu so often every month or every other month. But this was the first time I stayed at Waikiki Marina. Will definitely come back to stay here again. The only problems are: elevators are very slow (they said will be under construction until 2019 and it might be longer). Only 2 elevators. The longest wait was 25 mins & shortest wait was 5 mins. Also, the refrigerator was noisy on and off (this only bothers me when I'm sleeping but used ear plugs so that's solved the problem) maybe the owner can have it fixed (already texted them about it) and the shower head probably needed to be fixed because water wasted from leaking while u turned it on otherwise water pressure would be stronger. These are small stuff only the slow elevator irritated me on the day I had to leave for my surgery & it took 25 mins but on the average the wait is about 10 mins or so

Overall very clean with great view. Secured parking and close to major malls and walking distance to beach. Recommended and will definitely stay there again.

The condo was perfect for what we were looking for! Close to the beach/town. Lots of options to eat. Place was clean and had everything you needed for a good stay! The only thing that would have been nice was a full length mirror but that's just girls being girls! Bed was comfortable and the view was awesome! There was only one elevator working while we were staying but we never had to wait very long, it might feel longer but it's not! The pool and hot tub were nice and having a parking spot was amazing!!! Thanks again for everything!!

My boyfriend and I arrived late due to flight delays on our first night, it was relatively easy to find from the airport and finding the key fobs were uneventful. We unloaded all of our luggage, 7 days worth and went to the lobby to get to our condo on the 37th floor. We waited for a half hour for the ONLY elevator that is running for all 39 floors. We thought it would improve...it most certainly didn't. We wasted hours of our vacation and were late for 2 reservations because we had to wait for the elevator. We missed the sunset the night my boyfriend, now my fiancé' proposed to me, because we waited 45 minutes for the elevator. The unit was dirty, dust on all the edges of the trim around the whole unit, the sheets were not clean (just straightened up, same with the comforter), 1 of the 2 drinking glasses was broken, the sponge for washing dishes was sour, our shower curtain was filthy (so bad we bought our own and used it and put the dirty one back on when we left), the shower had dirt in the corners (i cleaned for an hour before we felt comfortable there) and worst of all our toilet was broken and ran ALL day and night and made a loud pitch whistling noise. When I asked the owner to come fix it after my fiancé' had tried many times in the night to get it to be quiet before we had to close the door to muffle the sound, he didn't acknowledge my request. 2 days later there was a leak above our unit from another toilet leaking and we were told it was ok. I specifically asked if beach stuff was included at the rental and the owner told me yes. No beach stuff. 2 towels, 1 of which I found waded up in the bottom drawer, not beach towels, very thin small towels, no chairs as he said there would be and no umbrella. The broken elevator, which we found out from residents is not "temporarily out of service" as the owner will tell you AFTER you book the reservation is permanently down until the building will pay a huge amount of money to fix it. The elevator waits are enough to ruin this VRBO and your experience. Homeless people hang out outside the front door with the security guard, that made us feel real safe. On a positive note- we got our steps in, walking up and down 37 flights of stairs 4x because of the broken elevator. The view is spectacular, the bed is comfortable and it's nice size for a couple. Other than that it's TERRIBLE. You can find plenty of better VRBO's in the area in the same price range- Go there!

Condo was great. Cosy, neat and tidy - just the right size for a couple. All appliances needed to cook meals are there . Free parking, Free WiFi and heaps of channels to choose from. Fantastic view from 37th floor. There were fireworks on the Friday night we were there, right outside over the lagoon. Whoohoo !!!
The lifts were a bit of a wait and the shower curtain needs changing/washing, but otherwise: yes, I would stay there again.
Just a 5 min walk to Ala Moana Centre or to the beach and 15 min walk to Waikiki shopping central so location was quite convenient for us.

It was our 20th Wedding Anniversary and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay than this place. View is the best! Instructions for check in were clear. Walking distance to Ala Moana, personal uninterrupted view of the Friday fireworks, walk to the yachts and beach, we were even able to walk up to Waikiki. Just AMAZING!!!
Yes, the lifts were a bit noisy but if you walk around and tire yourself and have a few beers then you sleep soundly and wake up to this unreal sweet view. IMPRESSIVE! We were able to do our laundry on the 3rd and 4th floor. Parking was good. Access to the place is great. All in all, we cant wait to be back. And we got our damage deposit after a day or so. MAHALO to Tom and Lucinda!

Our purpose for the trip was to checkout the University of
Hawaii at the Manoa campus. This was a very convenient place to stay
and felt like a little home away from home. The campus is easy to get to from this location and only takes 10 minutes by car.The view was beautiful--we had studio that faced southeast and was mostly ocean view with a little bit of skyline--gorgeous city lights at night.We shared the king bed but we were offered a twin portable bed as well.Kitchenette was a big plus and met our needs completely. The place has friendly staff and nice friendly guests as well--we even made some new friends here--I guess that's what the locals call "aloha".

First, this room looks exactly same as the pictures online. The big window right infront of the Waikiki Beach and have a very nice view. Second, the location is very convenience and an ABC Store locates within 1 minute walk. The parking is one of an add-on value and fees included in room rate. You know that, parking at Waikiki is expensive. The instruction of self-checking works well.
It's worth your money.
Recommendation:
If the owner could provide white towal and bed linen that would be better.

I staid at the Waikiki Marina 10 years ago and the unit I staid in did not look anything like this. This place has been completely remodeled and redesigned. I loved the tile and granite work

My girlfriend and I came over for a short getaway from work on the mainland. This was the perfect location to stay. It was so close to everything that we wanted to do. We saw live shows, had great shopping and restaurants, and fabulous Waikiki Beach. We also took advantage of the free shuttle that stopped by. We will be back.

Form floor to ceiling inch by inch of this place is luxury. I had a hard time getting out of bed. I also had a hard time concentrating on the tv when I have a huge panoramic ocean view to the side of my bed. It was amazing!

We enjoyed waking up to the beautiful view each morning. The room is very functional. The garage is set up a little awkward. My only complaint is the elevator. It is crazy to have only one and it broke down for a very short time. Otherwise, I would stay again. If you don't plan on going outside of Waikiki you can walk or take Trolleys to many different destinations.
October 2014
The owner had told me that this was his favorite unit because of the view. This particular unit has a south east facing view and the expanse of the panoramic ocean view is amazing. There are a lot of special little touches in the interior design that make it a truly unique accommodation. The kitchenette was more than adequate for our cooking needs.
October 2014
I remember prior to checking in that there would not be amenities to cook with. The owners explained to me that they were stored within the cabinetry to allow for more counter top space. This was a genius idea and I found everything I needed and more when I made my first meal. They even had 2 refrigerators. When I was done cooking I could put the appliances away and use the counter top for staging. I love to entertain and had my daughter come over for wine often. I understand now why they call Hawaii the rainbow state after waking up to one over the ocean every day

The place is quaint with a beautiful view perfect for our honeymoon. We love to wake up to see the sun and the water. The place was neat and clean when we got there. Only issues are the loud AC, the broken/slow elevator like others have said and takes so much force to push down to flush the toilet. First night I needed my husband to help because I thought it wouldn't flush. Almost thought we had to climb 37 flights of stairs the day we arrived to get the garage remote but all the residents/guests waiting for the elevator were very nice. One gave us a snack because we didn't have dinner yet (arrived close to 9:30pm) and someone else opened the garage door for us so we can park then come back down to wait until someone hits the reset button for the one working elevator (waited 20 minutes. One poor employee apparently had to climb to the very top floor to hit the reset button). The other elevator was out of service the entire time we were there. Keep an eye on the button to the elevator because the light goes off as if you never pressed it and the elevator goes right past you and you will have to wait another few minutes (upwards of 10 minutes sometimes). If you are thinking of using the fridge (we used it to freeze our water bottles), use the mini fridge close to the bathroom because the big fridge makes a loud ticking sound if you turn the power bar on for the TV. It was our first time using VRBO and going to Hawaii and it was quite positive. We would stay there again despite the issues. It's central enough to a lot of places so we walked a lot. ABC store was just at the corner so it was super convenient to get what we need every night. The free parking is a plus as we rented one for the week to drive to the north side of the island.
