Clean and great location. Good value for money.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is located in a very convenient spot on the western end of Waikiki. It has everything you could need. The kitchen is a bonus as you can chose to self cater if you so desire. Ala Moana shopping centre is a short walk away. The bus stop is very close by. The bed is firm but comfortable and there is plenty of room overall. The lanai is quite small but okay for two people. I can't say that I would recommend the property if you have small children. The entry instructions are a bit light on detail and it should be noted that the entrance to the property is under the pedestrian bridge on Hobron Lane, not Ala Moana Blvd.

The water and AC was turned off for 2 days, internet spotty, Technicians came twice to reset theTv’s. Lots of noise from the street, 730am building construction and trash can by front door. Furniture was nice but appliances and electronics old and very run down. harbor area very dirty and Lots of homeless people around. Would not stay this building or area again.

Very convenient location. Perfect relative to grocery shopping at the Food Pantry. Food land is a not too far walk. All of the services available at the Hilton Hawaiian Village are convenient. Be sure to try The Grove in the Modern since there is a 2nd floor bridge that takes you right there. Bus stops in all directions a block away.

We had an amazing stay at this vacation rental! The views of the marina and sunsets were absolutely breathtaking, making every evening feel magical. The location was perfect—right next to the Hilton Village, and just a short Uber ride away from the heart of Waikiki. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights after our days of exploring. We loved having our meals next to the lanai enjoying breakfast and dinner with the stunning ocean and sunset views. However, be mindful if you have little ones, as the lanai is on the smaller side. Overall, this rental was the perfect spot for a week in Oahu.

One thing that we're reminded of is how clean and well-kept it is - which is not always the case with apartments in this building. It really feels like a second home.

Great view. Bathroom needs a bit update. Bath towels are cheap quality and dirty with brown rusty spots on all of them. I recommend to bring some towels. Beds are comfortable. It was great and fine overall for what we paid for.

It was great. I wanted to let you know the back right stove burner doesn’t work. The cabinet door next to dishwasher has a hinge ready to break. Also a little sand on the floor and fitted sheet for pullout bed.

We’ve stayed in Ilikai before and decided to stay again. The place was great, better than the unit we stayed in previously. The only issue was the restaurant downstairs was under construction and the noise was making our stay uncomfortable. Captain Cook was able to provide a solution to help us so we didn’t have to worry about moving units and we really appreciate the effort! Thank you so much! Gonzales Family

Overall great experience with the exception of our second day, when the water was shut off during the day for 5 hours. This delayed us from getting a shower after a day at the beach while preparing for dinner reservations. NO toilet was critical.

August 2024

The unit was in a great location, and it had an amazing view. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. The kitchen was well stocked and having beach towels plus a few other beach items available was great. There were a couple of challenges, one having to do with the current construction on the first floor which is out of the control of the unit's management, but they resolved what they could. We recommend staying here.

I gave this a 5 star due to location and proximity to everything we needed on this trip. It could use a little updating overall but not a big deal
Gary H.
August 2024

Great location and well stocked, especially with beach provisions. Definitely would only stay here with max two people - the pullout couch is uncomfortable and slopes downhill, but the main bed was quite agreeable. Also, the adjacent unmanned parking garage is difficult to navigate. If there is an event at Waikiki (which there was three of our nights) it can take more than 30 minutes just to enter the garage. The ticket reader at the exit also broke once trapping a long line of cars in the garage for a time.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jack is a great host to deal with. Great communication, very accommodating and generous. Check in was easy. Location is convenient and cleanliness is important to us. Extras were nice - beach gear (chairs/umbrella/floater etc), cooler/ice packs, new toiletry items, clothes detergent, some pantry item for cooking and all the necessities were supplied. Little thoughtful things like the rolling shopping cart came in handy. Car seat and playpen in the closet if you have little ones. Layout of suite made it feel spacious. Clever positioning of doors & sliding door allowed us all some privacy when we needed. Lots of natural lightning and clear unobstructed views of the marina and ocean. Can see the fireworks from the Lanai. We would definitely book again.

Really lovely apartment! Can't wait to be back. Only 2 small suggestions: include a beach umbrella and a second set of 4 beach towels for families. People don't want to wash linen when on vaca.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice place to stay for your getaway. We chose this place because we wanted to save a little money making some of our own meals. Waikiki is expensive and no way around it. But instead of spending money on food, we spent it on adventures. No need for my family to have resort scenery if we are not even in our room but to sleep. We were out and about seeing the island daily. i'd definitely book here again.

The facility itself is pleasing with a convenience store, coffee shop and ice cream connected to the lobby. The condo is clean and well furnished. It even has beach chairs and beach towels. Everything was in working order. There are two generously sized decks with views. The property owner/manager was very responsive.

Lovely stay at the Ilikai Marina. Nice location. Could walk to restaurants and beaches. I highly recommend. The only downside is the parking lot. Very difficult to pay and navigate the “In and Out” rate. We ended up paying for an extra day of parking because there was a line of cars behind us waiting to Exit the lot. The machine was not properly reading our ticket. Beautiful view from the prope

The wedding was in Kaneohe, but finding places to stay and things to do was a strain. We were so thrilled to find this condo in exactly the spot we wanted to be, and with the perfect amenities. It was located close enough to downtown, without being in downtown. The fireworks Friday night was a huge hit. My in laws came over and we watched from the resturant down stairs. All in all a GREAT stay!!! Thank you so very much!!!

August 2024

It was a nice spacious place in a great location. The unit wasn’t tremendously clean and we encountered 2 cockroaches over the week stay. Also, there was construction going on every morning in a unit down the hall. Overall enjoyable stay but not quite worth what we paid.
Scott A.
August 2024

The unit is renovated and looks great! The view is gorgeous. The location was perfect for us. Good value for the price. I would have given 5 stars but I was disappointed there was zero toiletries provided (no shampoo) or coffee. Providing salt and pepper would be a nice touch. Also while the unit itself is nice, the building is old and run-down. The laundry was not great, only 1 dryer seems to work. But overall a great stay and I would stay here again.
