We stayed for 10 days in Steve’s 1bedroom condo on the 20th floor. The views out the wall to wall windows are stunning whether it’s sunrise or sunset. Kitchen has all you need. Grocery store just down the block. Roof pool great way to either start or end the day. Fireworks visible from the pool deck. Bbq there too.

Predatory towing at the Pacific Monarch. You pay $35/day and then they toe anyway for no given reason. The front desk guy today 9/12/2024 gaslighted me and my wife when we asked about it this morning and said they do not report cars to be towed by Mr. Tow. That's not true and it cost me $207 for less than a day and I had to Lyft 45 minutes away to go pick up the rental car.

We loved our stay. The location was perfect. Very short walking distance to the beach and all the shops and restaurants. The view from the balcony was beautiful. The condo is has a full kitchen stocked with all you necessities. I would suggest a bigger coffee pot or Keurig coffee maker. There is only 1 toilet but it is separate from the shower room. The shower is amazing. We would absolutely rent this unit again

Overall the condo was good. Location was centrally located to a lot of activities including hiking, food, entertainment, etc. 3 coffee pots is silly, but a toaster and blender would have been nice. More towels would be nice. Was happy they had a broom and dust pan available. I wouldn't be against staying here again, good quality for the price. they had a broom and dust

It was great being so close to beach. And walking to markets, shopping, local eateries, Catholic Church; many places within a 3 mile radius.

Easy check-in, close to the beach, it was nice having beach towels and chairs. The Bar on the property was not a bar and did not have a liquor license. They had a very limited menu. This should be noted. The owner of the restaurant/ bar was friendly and offered us to bring our own alcohol, we did not eat there. There are several restaurants and Bars within walking distance Overall, I would stay there again. The Location was perfect. Close to pick up for the Island tour and The Pearl harbor tour.

Excellent Vrbo stay in the Bamboo Hotel. Fantastic location from the beach and bus. The bus is so easy, and a main line is just out the door of the hotel.
The mattress/pillows/blankets were fantastic, and the bathroom worked well. Didn't use too much in the kitchen, but it had everything—the coffee pot, microwave, fridge all being great.
The lanais were wonderful, A/c worked great, and it was very quiet. Didn't use all the beach supplies, but there were chairs, umbrella, and more to use!

Property was clean and located close to everything with a short two block walk to the beach. Overall the property fit our needs and had some beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrella, towels and inflatables that the kids enjoyed. The property also had a pretty stocked kitchen. We didn't do much cooking but it was nice to have several items available if needed. Only thing I would mention is to possibly have extra bedding available to be able to use the pull out couch as a bed. Overall I would say this property fit our needs of two adults and two small children. It would have fit better with the extra bedding since there is only one queen size bed.

The property was nicely updated. Bathrooms were clean and the shower was nice. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of extra blankets. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed to prep food. The only negatives we had were once we ran out of the 1 roll of toilet paper I asked the host where the replacement roll was and was told they only provide 1 roll. It wasn’t a huge deal but I’ve never had that at a VRBO. Went down to the ABC store and purchased a roll.
We also had baby cockroaches and some other small bugs in the kitchen. The host was very responsive and offered to have pest control come out again even though they had come out a few days earlier. I did not feel the roaches were there because of uncleanliness. I think it was just that time of year.
The communication was great and the host met us when we arrived to hand over the keys.
Great view of the ocean and beach from the balcony.

When I arrived the front desk clerk was not very friendly. I had to go to the 12th floor and then outside and up 2 flights of stairs that were really nasty just to get to my room that was next to the boiler room. The light in the hallway was out so if you came back at dark you had to use the light on your phone to see your door.
It was very loud and scary to be up there all by yourself as a female.
Once in the room the room was nice. But the water pressure was no extent. As someone with long hair and lots of it took for ever to rinse my hair. The balcony was nasty with no place to sit and relax. It had all the drain pipes from the whole building. So you had to be very careful where you walked if you were brave enough to step over the 2 foot wall to step over to get out to it. The beach chairs were so corroded you couldn’t fold them up.

Online it said, it was newly reno and very clean . When we arrived, the floors had not been swept or washed inside all the drawers and cupboards were very filthy. The blankets on the beds needed a good wash. They stunk the pictures were on the floor. We were very disappointed at first impressions .We were happy with the location and the facilities at the hotel.

This property is exactly what I was looking for. The view of Waikiki Beach, the city and the rain forest all in one. Completely private lanai is the best thing about this condo. I was worried that it may be a little noisy in the heartbeat of Waikiki but being 29 floors up we hardly heard anything, even with the construction of a new building next door. The streets are quite pretty early. I felt pretty safe in this area as well. Getting a hold of the property manager was easy with a prompt response. Only thing i would ask for would be an extra set of towels if you are staying for more than a week as we did. It wasn't a huge problem as there is a washer/dryer on the third floor which we utilized after the first week. They provide beach chairs, umbrellas and toys as well. This will be the only place I stay when i come back to Oahu.

It was a great place to stay. Just like the photos. It was clean and tidy. Well situated for activities and the beach. Most amenities where within walking distance like the zoo and the beach. Would highly recommend this place for anyone staying in Waikiki.

Good : Location, View and Amenities.
Bad : Air conditioner took more than 48 hrs to cool. i called up property mangement. and it was not fixed during my stay of 6 nights. So turn around time is not great. we had to resort to sleeping on the balcony.
Ugly : During checkout day , I got locked out and my key pad was not working. i called the number and left numerous msgs and urgent msgs and no one returned my calls or msg. I had to wait for cleaners to come in and let me in. Number listed on portal or their office is not monitored. No support from listing agent. If something is not working or broken you are on your own.

We stayed a total of 7 nights at this location for our vacation. The places is in the perfect spot to visit all of Waikiki by foot and easy access to the beach. It had everything you needed for longer stays and you were in walking distance for plenty of shops and food. The pictures do you do this place justice and it deserves the high rating it has. Steven also had great communication and check in on us during our stay.
10/10 would recommend and stay again

We enjoyed our stay at this unit. It was clean and made us feel very comfortable. The bed and pillows were comfortable. It’s great to open up the massive windows/sliding glass doors to fully enjoy the ocean, city and mountain views, which are breathtaking! Be prepared for city sounds into the night, but that is all part of staying in the city. The air conditioning and fan were great and the blinds worked well for darkening the room. The little kitchen has enough to work with, including a hot plate for cooking. The rooftop is fantastic! Beautiful views, pool and hot tub, lounging chairs. When Waikiki beach gets too crazy it’s nice to head up to the roof for a quieter and more private retreat. The people at Midway Vacations were great for checking in with us and communicating every step of the way. If we had a question they answered quickly. Very friendly, professional and organized. The front desk staff were also friendly and helpful. We will stay there again.

The room overall was as described in the listing but there were 2 days of water disruption that was not told to us. The location was great and being able to use the chairs and umbrellas were helpful.

Overall we would give this property high marks! However, where some things are located, e.g., where the heck was the air conditioner! And the owners are way over directive - we will NEVER wear slippers I need better support for my feet for health issues ... they need to be less directive - and live with people wanting to or needing to wear shoes get a life!

My son and I got to spend a few days in Waikiki. Check in was a little bit of a struggle as desk clerk had a hard time finding my information and no parking garage keys were available. Rest of stay was not any trouble at all. Room was neat and clean and we enjoyed the beach chairs and boogie boards that were in the room. Would book again if the need arises

The property is in a prime position for any type of activity. Shopping and beach access are both just a few blocks away and fun food trucks are scattered throughout the neighborhood. Sitting on the lanai and relaxing while looking at the weather and enjoying the almost constant breeze from the valleys provided a great relaxing time. Lani was a responsive as one could hope for when questions arose. This is a super spot to stay.

Great location, exactly as pictured. Very clean. Fold out sofa was uncomfortable, i would only recommend it for young kids, definately not an adult. Apartment is perfect for 2 people and has everything you need. We used the beach chairs and umbrella every day so having them on a trolley to wheel to the beach was fantastic. Would definitely stay again.

This place was at an amazing location. We had a great view of the nearby beach as well as all of the surrounding buildings. I thought the space was fun and inviting, felt very much like our apartment at home. My only complaint was the bed. It was a very firm and I am someone who prefers a more plush bed. However, that is more a preference thing. Great overall and I appreciated the host’s responsiveness to messages.

From start to finish communication with Mayu was excellent. She gave recommendations to local places which was very helpful. Our stay here was most enjoyable and when there was a hiccup (beyond anyone’s control), she was prompt to get it handled. Our family enjoyed the vicinity to food, the beach, shopping, etc. The condo is equipped with everything you could think of and it is much appreciated!! Would definitely recommend and stay here with our family again!! Mahalo!

This was a great home base! We came to see the campus of University of Hawaii & I had some business to take care of while I was here. The location is central for access to all public transit, there’s great parking here - as I had a car for the couple of days.
The kitchen was good enough to go shopping for the week and create a home base here for meals.
The beach is a block away for an afternoon swim and relaxing - beach towels & beach chairs/stuff included.
The bed in the condo overall was super private in the evening and very open and sunny in the day time.
The air conditioning works great, the window unit keeps the entire apartment fresh and relaxing during the hotter summer.
The beds are good, the bedroom one is comfortable and relaxing. The pull out sofa is little too soft and the bars end up hindering a good nights sleep - so we ended up using the couch as a bed for my teen and that worked fine.
The patio/Lani was excellent! It was where and how we’d do meals and morning coffee. It’s another private space away from the apartment any time of day. It’s a main reason I’ll be coming back.
The shower is nice, water pressure is good and the hot water is nice…& consistent.
Overall the condo is a little dated, but clean & a good home base. That is why I gave it 4/5 stars.
