The place was not as listed. It had no couch and we were told one would be delivered during our stay

We stayed with our 2 girls, 18 and 13, who slept on the pullout sofa bed. The condo is adorable and the view is so nice/. We loved watching the sailboats come into the harbor and surfers riding waves in the distance. Property Manager is super nice and helpful. You will need to download an app to pay for the laundry machines (if you need to use them). The minimum amount to put on the app is $10 and each washer or dryer is &3.25 each. We dried 2 loads in one dryer to save $ and it dried all the clothes fine. Don’t hesitate to book, this is really an awesome place for many reasons!

Brilliant stay in Oahu at this property. The managers were very responsive to my every query and what a view we had! Would love to come back.

Excellent value. There were a couple of days where utilities were shutoff for hours during the weekday for repairs/maintenance — but that’s not the fault of the property owners. Guests were given 24-48 hour notice. Minor inconvenience. It’s Hawaii so why would there be any reason to stay in during the day anyway?

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit is located on the 3rd floor above the Chart House Restaurant. They are in a major renovation since March, and the work is in progress, but not finished yet. Lot of noise very early in the morning and during the day. The unit needs also a good fresh painting, and the kitchen needs a strong full cleaning.

Very clean, great communication with host. They even have two pairs of flippers, a cooler and two body boards. You’ll book this place for the view but you’ll love the walking proximity to the beach, shopping, food and entertainment. Perfect view of the Friday night fireworks. PARKING: Is super easy with the building being attached to the parking garage. Just ensure you understand the process for getting a multiple day pass. Upon getting there get a normal parking ticket, go park. Then go buy your multiple day pass. Upon driving out scan your initial ticket then immediately scan your multiple day pass. Once you do that, you can toss your initial ticket and just use your multiple day pass. Unlike many place where a host wants your to more/less detail clean everything, the checkout procedure is simple - “wash dishes, take out trash, lock door.”

This condo is just the right size. I traveled by myself and I didn’t much because I didn’t plan to stay indoors too much! Close to beach, marina and several great places to eat, see and play.

We had the most wonderful time in Oahu! This condo is perfection! An ideal location, a spectacular view and comfortable beds! My boys slept on the pull out sofa and my husband and I enjoyed the king size bed…this condo was close to food and shopping! We could walk to Ala Moana center which has everything. Washers and dryers on the 8th floor were super convenient too! Parking with the app was stellar since we rented a car. We are already planning our next trip!

It was a really good area to stay close to a lot of things. Every Friday there's fireworks you can watch right from the balcony. I would stay here again!

The views were awesome! Access was very easy. You most definitely want to use your google maps when you are walking downtown. If you are driving, you most definitely will need to have gps on just to know all the one ways are or you will be going in circles. Lots to do!

This spot has a beautiful view for a very reasonable price. We enjoyed the fireworks from the lanai on Friday as well. We were a short walk from the lagoon and beach and it was a great location where we were able to walk where we wanted that was close enough to where we didn’t need to drive. Check in and check out were both clear and effortless. The place was also spotless. After a long day out and about, the AC cooled off inside quickly. I would highly recommend!

This property is comfortable, convenient, and clean. The property manager is easily accessible and check in and out was a breeze. The location is ideal as you are close to Waikiki if you want the wild tourist side of the Island or a short drive will get you to more off the beaten path areas of Oahu.

This property is centrally located so you don't have to staff off the water yet have some piece and quite. The apartment itself was clean, nice space and easy to park and access. Would stay there again.

The toilet's washlet was leaking when we checked in. I wished the property owner must know and could fix before we checked in.

Scenery is wonderful as the image in the website. You can see the one of the famous surfing point "Ala Moana Bowls" in front of the view. The Location is good to access to Waikiki Beach and Ala Moana area too. Just it's not the center of Waikiki area though. (To the edge of Waikiki beach is really close. you can walk to Hilton Lagoon too.) The looking out at the lanai must be nice in the Friday night fireworks at Hilton lagoon. (Unfortunately we left before the weekend.) But, please be careful, the lanai is really narrow and seems weak. So it would be better to stay at the inside of the room to watch fireworks, even looking at the ocean front. The rooms are not really fancy but enough as the price. A kind of old Hawaiian Hotels and Condos style like 80s, but you would understand before you book. The parking lot is kind of narrow access from floor to follow, but each parking space is enough. You need to know how you will purchase the daily parking ticket from a kiosk in the entrance. (ask the security, or the maintenance staff neat the parking entrance.) If you have any questions about your booking and stay, just send a message via Vrbo app, then the owner of this room will reply to you (not quickly though) That is what we experienced in this stay. Mahalo..!!

The buildng is run down and the apartment was worse. We travel to Hawaii twice a year and stay about about 2 weeks with each visit.. this is the only time we not been welcomed with the spirit of Aloha... from the moment we enterred we we presented with strict commands in bold red letters which admonished us to not steal the property.... or we would be charged..that was lsughable as the furniture and 2 spoons and 1 fork would not be accepted as donations if brought to goodwill... The apartment was dirty.. un painted.. the entrance door was broken from some attempt to pry it open... the bathroom and kitchen were barely sevicable and rusted The balcony overlooking the garbage filled marina had 2 rusted chairs that would stain your clothes if u sat on them... The apartment and building smelled of mold and the garbage trucks that picked up refuse from the hotels that lined the alley. Homeless people slept on the sidewalk and in and around the lobby... The highlight was that the toilet seat glowed in the dark so if u got up at night u didnt have to turn on the lights and send the bugs scampering away. In short it is a dump and should be delisted by vrbo.

We as a family of four stayed very comfortable here but my kids are both under 10, it might be little tight for family with older kiddos as there aren’t much free space left once sofa bed is set. Unit has everything you would need on a family trip, nice kitchen, washer/dryer and parking was nice. Only negative comment is for building itself, very thin walls so we could hear neighbors talking on the other side of wall over the head of bed very loudly, also everything people above us were doing,, such as pulling chairs and walking

This was my first try at a VRBO. It was such a surprising relief to arrive to this beautiful condo. Great location to shopping and food. It was a very short walk to the beach. The balcony view was breathtakingly relaxing. Lots of room for 2-3 people. I would come back. Highly recommend!!

The location is everything. Super close to the beach, Ala Moana Center, and places to eat. A great value if you need more budget accommodations. Clean with fully equipped kitchen. An older condo but completely met our needs. Would stay here again. Just wish they had a cart for beach items like other places we have stayed in the Ilikai Marina condos.

The apartment was in a great location to access many different things in the area. Great view of the fireworks from the room. The interior was modern and comfortable. Easy access to car rental on the 6th floor, near shopping and many restaurants.

Excellent location. Modern interior design and lovely ambiance near the harbour. Would stay again!

Janna’s condo was great for our anniversary trip to Hawaii. The view was gorgeous! She was very responsive with our questions and minor issues. I only give 4 stars because the condo building did not have a pool. We were able to use the pool next door secretly though, which was awesome. We also were also disappointed that the Outback that we thought was in the building was now a Red Lobster. The parking garage is $28 I think every day, which is steep and there is no attendant there ever to ask questions. Overall, we had a great stay and appreciate Janna’s hospitality!

We came to Hawaii to celebrate my husband’s 65th birthday! What a great place to stay! It had views for miles and the Friday night Hilton fireworks were visible from the balcony! Parking was easy and just a pleasant place to stay! Highly recommended this place! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We easily had the best accommodations of all our group on this trip! Gorgeous view of the harbor, walkable to beach, shopping and restaurants. Condo was super clean and comfortable. Boogie board, snorkels and goggles and some sunscreen available to use. Owner was VERY responsive to questions! Would highly recommend and hope this space is available the next time we travel to Oahu <3

My sister and I enjoyed this place very much. It is at the very north end of Waikiki beach. Close to Hilton Village and the lagoon but away from the crowds. It has a beautiful view of the marina. The condo was very clean and comfortable. We parked in the attached garage which costs $28 a day. My only advice would be to get a parking pass from the kiosk downstairs as soon as you arrive. We ended up paying more than we should have. I would definitely book this place again.

Great location with very convenient parking and view of ocean and Friday fireworks. Close to elevators. Go to Pau Hana for Hawaiian music and Hula if they have it. Really a nice condo. Had everything you could want.

The condo was more dated than advertised. The kitchen was not very clean. With few paint touch ups and tile flooring, it could be a really nice space
