Wonderful view - smaller than it looks like from pix. No oven - just cooktop.

Pleasing experience overall and crazy, beautiful views from the balcony. We loved our experience here. Just a few notes:
- Cleaners were late so we had to check in later, but the hosts were amazing in accommodating a later check-out. As a side, dirty cleaning equipment was left on the balcony.
- Handsoap was not provided for bathroom sink.
- Some unpleasant smell in the bathroom.
- Rusty shower curtain rod.
- Would be nice to provide scissors in the cabinet along with other kitchen necessities.
- Providing extra, larger towels for pool use would be great.

We stayed for just over a week. It is in a convenient location, only 2 blocks from the beach and close to all the amenities (Target, International Market, restaurant's and bus stop). The unit itself is on the 43rd floor and has the best view of Diamond Head and was clean when we arrived. Check in process was smooth. The only negative was that the pool and jacuzzi were closed for maintenance for most of our stay.

I was able to spend everyday comfortably in a room with a wonderful view. The room was on top floor so it was very quiet. The location was also was great. If my friends want to come to Hawaii , I would recommend this room. Thank you very much.

Excellent views, great location. Older property but does its job. A code hiccup on arrival fixed by a phone call. Very helpful. For the price of the stay, it is on the mark.

On the day we arrived we were given a non working code. We had to text call and email several times and finally 1 hr later we got a new code. Day 1 of our 7 day trip we had ac issues and told by building NOT to use the ac, we advised the host and was told someone would come to look into it. On day 3 we were emailing and calling and texting the host since no one had come to look at the ac. We could no longer deal with the heat that we were forced to book other accommodations and pay out of pocket again. To make things worse this was our honeymoon and we tried to be as patient as possible but the host Just stop responding last response we got from the host was on Monday day 3 of our honeymoon trip and still yet to hear from anyone. This made our honeymoon a living H*E*L*L

This place made our trip a living H*E*LL. When we arrived the code didnt work after a few calls and text messages we were provide a new code. On day 1 or a 7 day trip we were told not to use the ac as it was leaking into the downstairs unit. We called and sent text asking to be looked into. 3 full days of no ac and NO ONE coming to review the ac issue we were forced to stay in different location and worst part they stopped responding overall. No one everr returned a cal or a text . DO NOT BOOK HERE. OH YEAH WERE OUT OUR ENTIRE STAY AND HAD TO PAY FOR OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS

I had stayed with island colony before and have never been disappointed! The view was spectacular, there is none like it here in Waikiki and I have stayed in quite a few places. Everything that we needed was provided! Thanks again for a lovely stay.

We had a wonderful time at Island Colony. The condo was clean and comfortable with the most amazing views. It was close to Waikiki (just 5 minutes), and had a nice pool deck. Check-in, check-out and parking was a breeze. My only complaints: there was no ice tray in the freezer, so I couldn't make ice, and the air conditioning unit vents to the balcony (but we just turned it off when we were out there, so not a big problem). But other than that, perfect!

Only issue, and reason for not giving 5 star, was the check in process. The door code I was given didn't work correctly, had to frantically email and call numbers for over an hour till I got ahold of the property manager. She got me a different code that worked, and no further problems. Overall a great little place and good stay.

Overall was a good experience. A little stressful start as the code didn’t work when I arrived but messaged the property manager via VRBO about it and they got back to me shortly and was able to assist me with getting a new code. I greatly appreciated the responsiveness. Property was nice, clean, comfortable, and had a gorgeous view. Also property situated in a great spot for exploring Waikiki. Would recommend this property to others.

1: Bed was stiff and pillows flat (could spend $100 at Target and get mattress topper and 2 more pillows that were a bit better) 2: clean clean clean…until you get to shower liner (moldy on bottom. Could spend $10 and get replacement) 3: the balcony…😍omg…yes! Completely the reason (the rug in photo was rolled and placed in corner?) 4: the pool /hot tub were great (though some other guests like to play music at pool sometimes but not a dealbreaker at all) 5: the noise from street can get annoying with the street racers but that seems to only be around midnight then the cops show up (and you are on the 43rd floor so not bad) and that is not the VRBo fault. But noise in the unit is, well, none. Neighbors are very quiet. 6: parking is tight but just pay for the pass and park in garage, very safe, guarded. 7: location is perfect if you want to be close to stuff without tons of people all around (we walked to beach once, market once, and breakfast once). Within good driving distance of Diamond Head, lighthouse, Koko, and Pearl Harbor. 8: kitchen is good for what you will need. And it was clean. 9: bugs (none). Did not see a single creature fir 5 days. 10: elevators (once you figure them out they are quick…look for the red light). 11: extras: the store on 6th floor is good and toilet is AWESOME, there are extra sheets and towels in the drawers. 12: what could be done better: change shower liner, get mattress topper and more pillows, put in small show rack by door.

This spot is perfect if you want to stay within an easy walk to Waikiki beach but don’t want to spend an arm and leg being right on the beach. You can walk to all the restaurants and shops you want. It was a clean, beautiful room with an easy check in and out process. Highly recommend

This condo had a beautiful view of the city and great amenities on the 6th floor with a pool, hot tub and sauna. There were numerous lounge chairs and seating and had a nice resort feel. The location was fantastic within walking distance to all of the great shopping areas and Waikiki beach. The interior was well equipped with a full kitchen. Although the condo itself was beautiful, clean and luxurious, the corridors of the building looked a little run down and unfortunately, the key code to open the front door didn't work when we arrived.

We loved this condo and will likely book again for future trips! Only took one star off due to being without running water for 2+ days. However, that is not the fault of the owner, but of the building and lack of communication to guests. Overall, an amazing place to stay!

ラナイからのビューは最高で、非常にきれいなユニットだと思います。ただ、お風呂の排水が殆ど流れない状態でした。これは清掃スタッフの方も清掃時に気づいているかと思うので、そのまま放置されていた点は非常に残念です。次のお客様のためにも早急にご対応いただいた方がよいと思います。あと、よく動画でも紹介されているサービスのコーヒー、楽しみにしていたのですが、置かれてなかったのが残念でした。それと最終日はフロアが計画断水だったので、日中トイレに行けずにかなり不便でした。こちらも事前に共有いただくべき内容か̆

Good:
Amazing views and comfy balcony seating, lovely cool breeze always blowing - didn't even need the aircon. Comfortable bed. Reasonably close walk to the beach (15 mins), lots of places to eat/shop close by (highly recommend Cream Pot for breakfast). Nice pool area with loungers and cabanas on level 6 if you don't fancy walking to the beach (although it was closed for building maintenance while I was there).
Bad:
Strong smell of (cat?) urine in the entryway (maybe on the doormat? and the bathroom.
The shower was a little tricky to work out (3 taps, all unlabelled).
Beach towels and sun umbrella would be appreciated, but can buy these at the ABC stores.
Overall I'd highly recommend.

My SO and I stayed two weeks at this condo. It had all the necessities and they provided many towels to accommodate our stay (which is very nice, I appreciate the cleanliness considerations!). My only note is that the AC unit fills with water so quick. We tried to clean it up, but after 30 min, it would leak (outside only) and get the entire patio wet. It didn’t bother us too much, because it would dry up while we would be out. But it was a bit unpleasant for our socks. Otherwise, would definitely come back to this location whenever we come back to town!

We stayed here for five days and I can tell you the view makes it all worth it. It is a little scary to be all the way at the top of the building but it’s still great. Check in/ check out was easy.
The only con was the slight odor the apartment has but it wasn’t anything deal breaking. Overall very positive stay 🙏

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment, the view from the Lanai was magnificent, especially in the morning for sunrise. The unit was clean, and there were supplies available when needed. Loved the convenience of the electric stove top and had most of the necessities a small apartment would need for prepping meals. It was close to beaches and good restaurants. The only bummer was that we did not find out that we had to pay for parking each night until just a few days before our trip. Just be prepared to find street parking or pay $35/night to park in the building’s garage. Overall, a wonderful experience!!

The location was perfect-
Short walk to the beaches, shops & restaurants. The room was small and there is no closet to hang anything but there is one dresser. But it's all about the lanai & fantastic view of Diamond Head, & the ocean though! AC is a bit loud & it would be nice to see some beach chairs to borrow & a small cooler like we have seen at other rentals but despite those things we'd definitely stay there again.

The price and condition were very good for our stay in Hawaii. The unit was updated enough and clean. We had a great stay, the building also was safe and friendly. Great view from balcony and we were able to cook some. Close to the bus stop and all of Waikiki has to offer. We even tried to stay longer but the unit wasn’t available. Next time we are in Oahu we will definitely check on their vacation rental availability.

The property owner is right in featuring the lãna’i in the ad on VRBO. It is large and beautiful with a lovely view. It is comfortably furnished.
Other than that, the apartment is basically a hotel room, though it has a two burner stove with pots and pans etc.
The toilet is a problem. It gives off an odor like a camping toilet or a toilet in an RV camper can. It is quite unpleasant.
Owners are responsive.
