We had an absolute terrible experience at that location. We will never use the services again due to our experience.When we arrived, they told us the room was ready to check in when we open the door. The place was an absolute disaster and had not been cleaned yet! We had to leave and come back over an hour later. The property manager was absolutely rude, inconsiderate. We will probably never use these services again to do to this experience.

I had a great time here! Struggling with finding the lockbox in the beginning was about the only main issue! Lana was wonderful in her responsiveness to things I needed help with such as a clogged bathtub drain. Polite, professional and, so kind! I was here for the Honolulu Merrie Mile and Start to Park 10k. I felt as if I was in a great location for all of the activities I was interested in. The Lanai area on the bottom level was great! Close to the water to hear the ocean and plenty of places to lay out and tan when not swimming. I would book this room again in the future!!!

The room was clean and the check-in was easy. There is an exceptional view of Diamond Head from the balcony. The front desk advised us where to park the mopeds we rented and we received parking tickets for following those instructions... The only other thing that was less than perfect is the bed mattress should be replaced...

The location was good and the owners were easy enough to work with. They responded quickly when we needed the parking space number (had requested parking at booking but did not get that information in the check-in process provided). The unit overall needs some serious work. The major kitchen appliances are new, but the furniture is old, the place needs a serious cleaning, wallpaper is coming off the wall, the light over the dining table doesn’t work, and worst of all was the plumbing backups in the bathroom. The owners were quick to respond and offered a plumber but after talking with others on the floor we discovered this was a whole floor and potential building issue.

Being on the end with the large balcony overlooking the water was great. The furniture is quite dated however. The biggest problem was the lock on the front door was broken and we did not get a response back in time from the owner before we were in a place where we couldn’t respond. There was no one at the front desk for us to report the problem. As a result, the door lock wasn’t fixed until the next day and only because one of us stayed behind and was able to wait for someone at the desk to appear.
Otherwise it was a nice stay.

Absolutely gorgeous furnishings and very thoughtfully appointed. Beautiful fully equipped kitchen has everything you will ever need…even a rice cooker! The bathroom is just as lovely! Terri supplies wonderful soap, shampoo and conditioner so you don’t have to bring anything. There is a parking space in the gated garage so you always feel safe. Not that there is anything to worry about in this neighborhood at all but we live in San Francisco so that is always on our minds. There was a very strong wind storm happening and Terri made sure we felt secure and texted us to let us know about the two lanterns she had supplied in case there was a black out. So thoughtful and caring!!
This property is located on the ocean side of the street and has a very comfortable, well kept outside lounging area for guests overlooking the water on the ground floor and is equipped with lounge chairs, table and chairs. If you feel like taking a walk, there is a large, pretty park across the street or you can walk left or right down the sidewalk. It’s not a busy street like the downtown Waikiki area so it’s really peaceful.
I highly recommend staying here!!!

Cozy and clean, can’t beat the view and location. Jan was a great communicator and her listing is accurate. We’ve stayed in various Waikiki locations and this was ideal for us. If you plan to rent a parking space, a mid-size SUV is the largest you should get.

We loved the location of this VRBO. That is probably the best feature. The on-street parking was good, even on a busy weekend. Easy to get to Diamond Head, Leonard's, etc.

Very cute! A 4 day stay. We arrived at midnight, we took an Uber from the airport. No problems getting there or getting into the room. We walked everywhere and also enjoyed our beautiful view, peaceful , safe. Kitchenette with microwave, electric tea kettle and even an induction cooktop. Dishes, soap, towels provided. Host responded quickly to any questions., and gave good instructions. Cute convenience store a block down. We definitely plan to return. Thank you!! A wonderful time!!!

This is a nice unit with a full kitchen. The bed is comfortable. There were some issues with wifi but the property manager addressed this quickly. Overall it was a good place to stay and we had no problem parking at the park across the street.

I was back visiting my god daughter who lives in HNL. I was with her mom, my bestie. Great location, on the water, view and deck spectacular. Quiet. The unit had everything we needed. Free parking was easy across at Kapiolani Park. Good communication with Vrbo/owner, especially when checking in and out of the unit.
Great to be able to walk to everything. Hiking diamond Head easy and close. Great to run around Kapiolani Park. Had a chance to paddle from the Outrigger Canoe Club a couple of buildings down. Yoga on the grass area at Kaimana beach a two minute walk.
Highly recommend this condo.

The view from the back grass area has amazing sunsets. Parking is only verry cheap and free from 6pm until 10am across the street at the park. Room is as shown. Couch and bed are nice. We wish it had a better sink for dishes but not the biggest problem. Only complaints was the shower not draining fast enough. I would recommend

This was a very awesome property due to the lovely trade winds between screen door and windows, as well as all of the amenities available. They even left an entire section of the balcony filled with boogie boards, snorkeling gear and more. The kitchenette was fully stocked with everything we needed and it felt more like living in Hawaii for a week, rather than visiting. Being off the beaten path, yet walkable to Waikiki is great. Parking is really easy around Kapiolani Park and the view of Diamond Head is amazing. I can't wait to stay here again!

Easy ck in
Good location
Clean
Safe
Comfortable bed
Pleanty of good coffee and coffee maker- and sugar
A/C appreciated but quite noisy
Almost no cable Chanel’s available for movies
Property was pretty much as described- looked larger on the Internet. Has a lot of furniture and stuff that makes it seem more crowded. Extra bath towels would be helpful because it’s so humid the 2 provided were never completely dry.

I have always loved the location. I have stayed here before (in different units). At this unit the shower wouldn’t drain while showering. I had to use plunger the first day. Then after that the water would collect while showering and stuff from inside the drain came up into the tub. But drained slow after the water was off. This was NOT enjoyable. Person at front desk said they couldn’t help because I booked through a private company. . Sheets had stains which looked unappealing. I had to wash them to feel comfortable.

This unit has great views of the mountains, Diamond Head, and the ocean. Located on the outskirts of Waikiki, just close enough to enjoy a scenic walk through Kapiolani park, yet far enough where the crowd is minimal to none. The unit’s bedroom was comfortable with lots of storage with a powerful air conditioner., and functional kitchen. We stay here annually and will have continued to choose staying here!

This has been our favorite stay near Waikiki. We come yearly to visit our daughter in college. Love that it is away from all the main drag activities but still close enough to walk to all the shops etc. Loved the grassy sitting area in front of the complex. We could have stared at the waves coming in for hours. So relaxing listening to the pounding surf. The condo was exactly as promised, everything we needed for our stay.

Loved this condo and the quiet neighborhood. Walking distance from shops and restaurants on Waikiki Beach. You can see the sun rise over Diamondhead in the morning and watch the sunset from the balcony in the evening. Condo owner gave great instructions for location and checking in. Condo was clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful oceanside building, this unit straddles the 12th floor, with views of Diamond Head, Kapiolani Park, and the ocean. A nice view at every time of day.
We enjoyed walking to the beach, and beyond to the shops. And the AC - so pleasant to come back from a sunny Waikiki beach to a cool apartment.

This property is just as advertised with a clean room, beautiful lanai, and great location for some privacy while still close to the hustle and bustle of Waikiki.
The extra amenities were amazing to have ranging from boogie boards, beach chairs, hot plate, backpack cooler, umbrella, soaps and hair washing items, blow dryer, etc. Basically everything you’d need besides food.
Note: There is an additional $45 non/refundable incidental fee charged after booking to check in which we were not aware of and was nowhere in the advertisement. This was the only downside as we had already spent a good amount booking this place.
Outside of that, zero complaints and perfect for our stay! Mahalo! 🌺

The condo is the size of a nice hotel room, and perfect if traveling solo or with one person. There is a window unit for air conditioning but it’s not always needed when the weather is nice, plus it’s kinda loud when in use. From the bed, you have ocean views to the left and right. Huge personal lanai with outdoor lounge bed and high top table. Metered parking is easy across the street and free after 6pm. Never paid more than a few dollars for parking. There is no beach access from the building but there is a drop off to the water near where the Diamond Head surfers gather every morning. Waikiki beach is always busy and just a few blocks away. The area around the building felt safe and clean. There is also an elevator and bellhop cart to help with your luggage. I stayed with my daughter for 6 nights and had no issues. Would definitely stay again. Thanks, Mark!

The condo was perfect for us. We had two teenagers with us and they had their own room. It was a great location away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki but close enough to walk to everything.
The decor could use a refresh as it’s a little outdated and the couch in the living room is really uncomfortable.
My only critique is that the Vrbo app wasn’t a great way to contact the owner. It was “having issues “ for the majority of our stay. Not sure what was going on there.

Very well-outfitted, a lot of storage, immaculately tidy + clean. One closet is only useful for someone 6’4, as the hangers are at ceiling height. The bathroom sink should be deeper, with a taller faucet, as that is also where you’d be washing the cooking gear. Did not need a/c, but an oscillating fan would’ve been great for ventilation, as one cannot open the windows on one side of the studio. Highly recommend!

Located on the 7th floor of building just south of aquarium with views of Waikiki Beach and sunsets. For cooking, used the electric fry pan. It is good for grilled sandwiches and heating frozen stir fry. Diamond Head Grill and Market has excellent take out and restaurants are within walking distance. Be sure to reserve a parking space in the garage. It was well worth the extra cost.

Filthy window sills. Windows very hard to open. No bars of soap in bathroom. No bedside table for incidentals. An owner/host who would not attend to any of my concerns and would never return my phone calls. Left the place immaculate but still charged $130 cleaning fee after checking out. That's it for me and VRBO.

Nice unit to stay near Waikiki but avoid the crowds. Tranquil lawn and patio for watching the ocean and sunsets. Has wall unit air conditioners which are very loud. Nice kitchen set-up.. Needs some minor maintenance and cleaning detail. Walking distance (less than 1 mile on flat surface) to Waikiki, Waikiki Aquarium, Honolulu Zoo. Great views of Diamond Head. 2 doors down from the Elks Lodge and Outrigger Club.

It’s closer to residential but still walkable to Waikiki area. We didn’t run into many tourists in our area. Room was perfect for us and very clean. AC was cold.
If you do a Lyft, you’ll be fine. If you rent a car, you might have trouble finding a public parking spot due to being so close to a public park. We ended up paying for parking within the hotel one day.
Overall it was a good spot for us
