Christy’s condo is very nice! We hated to leave. Great view of the lagoon and beach. Watched the luau almost every night on top of hotel across the street. Great view of fireworks on Friday evening, let off right on lagoon beach.
You can walk to most places, but we also took Uber. Take the island tour, stops at various places, we really liked the Rock A Hula Luau at the Royal Hawaiian Center.
Condo is very clean, has everything you need, Christy is quick to respond. Highly recommend this condo! Hope to return soon! Thank you Christy for the use of your condo!!!
Aloha and Mahalo🌺

My parents and I had a quick but wonderful stay at this property! The condo was cozy and well-equipped, even with an unexpectedly needed first aid kit! Great location, and the coffee shop and restaurants in the building was super convenient and tasty! We would stay again!

The condo was perfect! The owner was extremely helpful and communication was immediate. We have stayed at several VRBO properties and this was by far the best. The Hula was authentic and the fireworks spectacular.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo !

We were beyond happy with this stay. The condo itself is well stocked and comfortable. The views were beyond compare. This was by far our favourite vacation and the accommodation played a huge role. Mornings were spent sipping a coffee while admiring the view. I will never forget the view.
Comfortable bed, fully stocked kitchen, spacious bathroom. The location was perfect, we walked the entirety of Waikiki beach every day.
Best stay ever - truly hope to return.

Excellent holiday. Did not want to leave Christy’s place. She was so helpful with any request and arranged that we could have a late stay. We were able to enjoy our last full day in the Hawaiian paradise. Hope we can return. Terryl

This is an extremely well kept condo unit in the older but well maintained ilikai hotel. The condo was well stocked with basic items like toilet paper, paper towel, saran wrap etc. Two types of coffee makers (kurig and normal drip) and everything you need to cook your own meals. The condos view is amazing and there is lots to see. The location of this hotel is in a more quiet area of wiakiki so that is also very nice. Definitely a 5* condo experience. Special thanks to the gracious host who communicated well.

Christy is such an awesome host. She communicates very promptly. Her unit at the Ilikai is really beautiful and well stocked with an awesome view. Due to the unfortunate fire in the electrical room in January, it caused a few issues with the elevators and power outages. The staff worked really hard to recify these issues. We didn't let this ruin our stay and we didn't want to leave paradise. We would love to come back to stay here again. Mahalo Christy!

Christy’s property is amazing! This is our 6th trip to Oahu from Canada. We stayed for 11½ days...right until 9pm, when we had to head to the airport. It was great! This location by far has been the best we’ve been to! Christy was very easy to communicate with and checking in & out was the easiest ever! The condo unit is in the perfect spot in Waikiki...can see the Luau across the street on top of the Hilton and the fireworks display on Fridays, is incredible. Just below, the property has 2 beautiful pools we had access to with chairs, umbrellas, etc to enjoy the gorgeous weather. The condo is perfect for families as the large pull out sofa bed is super comfortable as is the king size bed! The balcony opens up to a spectacular view of the lagoon, the ocean and the harbor is just next door. Christie even bought a Keurig coffee maker with pods when we asked if her unit had one! So thoughtful & generous of her! The kitchen has absolutely everything you need to cook anything you want. Laundry facilities so pack light. We enjoyed Dave’s ice cream shop, the Italian coffee shop and there is a convenience store in the lobby. There is a car rental desk & an Oahu activities desk. You can pay $24 a day to park in the open air lot or do like us and pay $150 for a month. We can’t wait to go back! The saddest part was having to go home to the bitter cold. Thanks so much Christy, we had the best time ever and thanks for being such a great host! We hope to return paradise soon!

So close to so many places in Waikiki, easy to navigate the condo and either use their restaurants or walk to something close by.

Nice location. You are not in the middle of Waikiki so need to be able to walk 20 minutes. Property nice. AC in condo is loud so if you are not a deep sleeper this may bother you. View is partly water and partly high rise but sunrise can be seen. Next to the harbor and Waikiki walking path along water. Parking next door is cheaper than the condo so I recommend that. Amenities are great and nice beach towels and chair umbrella were useful. Bed is super comfy. Close to a alMoana mall if you like to shop.

We stayed for 4 nights during Sept. 2023 and were very pleased with the property. It is within easy walking distance to the beach, shopping and restaurants.

The Illikai is a great location and this is a very nice unit for 2 people. While Waikiki beach is close by we actually spent time on the North Shore and Kailua which are easy to drive to. Our host was super helpful and responsive. One thing to clarify is that self parking at the Ilikai Marina lot is simple. $28 for 24 hrs in and out and plenty of space. No need to pay the $45/day valet offered at the Illikai.

Great location near a lot, but not too crazy like downtown Waikiki beach. Unit has everything you need and a very comfy bad -much appreciated after LONG travel day and excursion filled days. Great viewing of the fireworks on the beach from the balcony. Started and ended our stay with Cinnamons! Will come back on our next trip to beautiful Oahu! Mahalo Christy!

Christy’s property is amazing! She was very easy to communicate with, and even went out of her way to purchase a rice cooker when we asked her if the property had one! So thoughtful of her! The home is situated in the perfect spot of Waikiki, at the entrance and away from the major crowd and hustle and bustle of people. This is our 6th/7th trip to Oahu, and this location by far has been the best we’ve been to! Perfect for families! The balcony opens up to a spectacular view of the lagoon, which is a very short walk to. The balcony has a wonderful view of the Friday night fireworks, fire show across the street on top of the Hilton and waterfront. There are two pools on the property, Dave’s ice cream shop and a number of shops. Check-in was a breeze. The house was well stocked with pots, pans, and everything you need in a kitchen. The place was well-furnished with a large sofa bed, and a king sized bed. It was such a great space for our family! We can’t wait to go back! The saddest part was having to go home. Mahalo Christy, for your hospitality, for sharing your beautiful home and for hosting! We hope to return soon!

This was the perfect place to stay on our vacation. Conveniently located to so much, right by the lagoon and ocean. The view was beautiful and had the best seats for the firework show Friday night. Property itself was super clean and well taken care of. I will definitely stay here again in future visits!

Amazing view from a beautifully decorated condo. All was as described. Great location and we hope to definitely stay again! Bonus - more bath and beach towels than we needed and the beach equipment so appreciated. As noted in prior reviews...be sure to watch the Friday night fireworks. We also had the benefit of two extra firework show during our week stay (one of these visible from condo) and views of the dancers performing on the Hilton garage.

Our stay at the Ilikai was nothing short of amazing! The hospitality and flexibility of our VRBO host made us feel at home. The one-bedroom unit had everything we could need for our stay from kitchen items to beach gear to linens and toiletries. The view from our lanai was breathtaking. The location of the Ilikai was very convenient for shopping, restaurants, and enjoying the beach and lagoon. We enjoyed everything about our stay and highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Waikiki.

We have been visiting another island and this was our first trip to Honolulu in many years. It has really changed and is a big city with a lot of traffic. The condo is in a convenient location to access many of the restaurants and sights. We stayed only a few days so did not do much cooking but all the supplies are available. Unfortunately we missed the fireworks on Friday night. Sounds like the room is great to enjoy it.

I brought my mom here for Easter. It was a dream vacation for her. This was in a location that we could walk to most places. We set on the lanai and watched the surfers having our coffee. The view is just spectacular. You don't really need to run the air conditioning as the breeze off the ocean is wonderful. We had no problem with the condo. I do wish there was a table to eat dinner on the lanai in the evening but it is not a deal breaker as the view is all you need. Yes, I would stay here again.

The pictures are completely true. Tastefully furnished with a very comfortable bed. Excellent view from the lanai. The pool is big enough to do laps and is open for adult swim between 7:00-8:30AM.

The condo had a great location, just off Waikiki. It was clean when we arrived and had the necessary amenities. Communication from Christy was clear and easy to follow. She had a laminated set of instructions for us on the coffee table when we arrived. We never figured out the TV remote, so help there would have improved the experience.

My family and I had an awesome time staying at this rental. Maintenance keeps the place meticulously clean and linens smell fresh. This is one of 2 rentals that we actually went barefooted in the suite. Furniture is pretty new and comfortable.
No-contact check-in and out were very nice and efficient. The owner was so nice to let us check-in early to avoid car break-ins. Ilikai looks newer since we last stayed 5 years ago. Their concierge does offer luggage holds for $2 per luggage in case rental is not ready or you have checked out. Ilikai pool area also has clean, free shower stalls and clean towels to wash up before your late flight. We got to enjoy the lagoon and beach for a full day, and then shower. The pool area closes at 7pm so plan accordingly.
Hilton next door has Friday fireworks shows over the lagoon, but we had to miss it. You can see the show from the lanai.
Public parking isn't so bad. We could pay to park overnight after 10pm, and must move your car by 11am. We regret that we didn't stay here longer.

It was so convenient to stay at Christy’s property in the Illikai. Easy access downtown Waikiki and metered parking in the back for our rental car. The unit looks exactly as pictured/described and was well stocked with everything we needed from towels, linens to kitchen ware. The partial beach view from the balcony was stunning and I loved watching the sunrise every morning there. I also appreciated that we were able to check out without a long laundry list of check out cleaning/ to do lists, as the owner wants their guest to relax and enjoy their trip— this is a rarity and I appreciated the ability to relax and not have to worry about doing the dishes or taking out the trash, etc. Overall, a lovely stay that I’d go back to again.

This is a great property with all you need for a relaxing stay. Enough room for all your things and nice bathroom. Loved the beach chairs and towels that were provided. Loved this location a bit away from the sometimes craziness of wikiki yet close enough to partake in it too!

We loved our stay here. It was our first time booking with VRBO and Christy was so wonderful and patient answering all my questions. Her property was just perfect for us. Check-in was a breeze with the door code provided prior to our arrival. It’s the perfect location to view the fireworks on Friday from the lanai. The kitchen had all the necessities you would expect. We cooked most of our meals in the unit. The shower had great water pressure. Towels for the beach and shower were plentiful. The living room was spacious, tidy and clean. The king bed was uber comfortable and the sofabed was sufficient for the kids. I love the room divider for some extra privacy. The TV had plenty of channels, and the internet was fast. The Ilikai is close to many shops and restaurants and there are also some within the building itself so everything is convenient. I would definitely book with Christy again the next time we are back in Oahu.

This property was perfect for the 2 of us. It had a very well equipped kitchen, coffee included. The bed was very comfortable; as this is an unusual find for a rental. The TV included a wide array of stations. I loved the shower, it was spacious with rapid hot water. The room was cool with it’s tile floor and A/C unit. The added bonus was a perfect view of the Friday night fireworks show from the lanai. We will use this rental in the future as we frequent Oahu.

This unit was in the perfect location for our trip with a great view of the ocean. It's just a quick walk to the beach or the lagoon or to the numerous shops and restaurants. The condo balcony provided a perfect spot for the Friday night fireworks that take place right near the lagoon. Great for 4 and the sliding divider provided the perfect amount of separation between us and the kids. The host was very responsive. I highly recommend this condo.
Samir D.

The condo is on the 11th floor of a condo/hotel building with a wonderful (partial) view of the ocean, great balcony, and thoughtfully-prepared finish-out. The lock to the door can be tricky, so beware. But the Owner is highly responsive, and a great communicator.
I recommend it highly. My only minor complaint is that the dishes in the kitchen need to be useable in microwave. They are not (because they are stoneware, not ceramic/porcelain). This is an easy fix.

This condo was so comfortable and homy feeling that I kept accidently calling it home. I truly had the feeling of being at home. It was perfect! Everything I needed was there, not to mention it was beautiful inside and out. I loved sitting on the balcony and watching the ocean and even waking up to seeing the ocean out my window. As I woke up every morning there were also birds that would fly down on the balcony which was calming with the ocean in the background. The glass doors to the balcony open up both directions to let the outdoors in even more. I opened up the cupboard in the bathroom and there were tanning supplies and lotions and even first aid items. I had also forgot my beach towel and the condo was also supplied with those as well. I also loved the Hawaii Boho design of the condo, it was super cute! The check in process was the easiest I have every experienced. Christy just simply gave me the code to get in and there was no key or checking in at a desk so if you have a long flight you don't need to take that extra time to stop at a desk or wait in line you just simply walk right up to the condo and go right in! The condo was clean and ready for my stay. It was also nice that the beach was right there out the back, just a quick walk to lay in the sun. Another thing I liked were the shops on the bottom floor of the building and a restaurant. The neighborhood felt safe as well. I wanted a Starbucks Coffee at 5 am and felt safe walking a few blocks alone to get one. Overall I was very happy with everything and I was super sad to leave. I had extended my vacation so I had to move to a hotel for the last few days. I ended up going to the Hilton for the rest of my vacation and it was nowhere near as nice as this condo and was sad I had to move. If I ever return to waikiki again I will definitely see if this condo is available as it is the only place I would want to stay again! Would recommend to everyone! Better then the Hilton ❤️
