The property is exactly as described. Nice, small, convenient apartment with security and an awesome parking spot! Beds were oh so comfy and the sheets smelled really nice when we crawled in exhausted from our day's adventures. Our hosts were super-responsive when we had an issue even though it was a holiday weekend - so appreciated. Others commented about the noise - yes, there is city noise at all hours. Waikiki is a busy area of Honolulu and noise common to larger cities (cars, motorcycles, sirens) should be expected.

We enjoyed our time in Hawaii with our three teenage daughters. This was a great place to stay and was close to everything without having to be in the middle of downtown. Having an assigned parking space was a plus! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. All the sights we wanted to see were either within walking distance or a short drive away. Definitely a great place to stay!

The property is small but perfect size for my family of 3. It was located near a group of food trucks and an ABC store which made it convenient for those days that we didn't feel like driving. The exterior of the building is old but the condo was nice and clean. The host, Mae, stopped by and asked if everything was ok.

Property was exactly as described and so nice to look over the canals, plus see the locals play on the field. We were out most days so didn't take advantage of the pool, but the beds were comfy, parking spot was convenient, and the location was perfect given it's central location. Would recommend to others!

We had a decent stay for 6 nights. There were 5 of us and having 1 bathroom was a bit of a challenge but we made it work. Being able to cook in the unit was a plus and the assigned parking spot was very convenient. Hanging out on the balcony was also very nice.

Location was a big hit for this stay. Lots to do within walking distance and free parking nearby for everything that wasn’t. Thought the street and pool noose would bother us but everyone slept like a baby. A/C in the rooms kept us cool when we needed it. Plenty of beach stuff to use if you want and nearby 7-Eleven and grocery for the kitchen. Mahalo!

Overall we enjoyed the property and the fun items available to you: boogie boards, beach chairs, and umbrellas. TV doesn’t work, just heads up. But Wi-Fi works, only one room has ac, the other one doesn’t. And the parking was a total nightmare. Compact, fifth floor, very confusing elevator system (two separate entries and exits for one parking building but not all will work), and the security guards for the parking building were very paranoid and aggressive, esp towards our minority family members. Aside from all this, we enjoyed the friendly condo building managers and the clean pool and access to grill.

It’s a perfect little place to make your Homebase. It located right off of the Waikiki shopping and hotels. Easy walk to the beach and park. Nothing fancy. Very comfortable and clean. There are beach chairs and boards on the lanai. Kitchen is fully stocked just bring your groceries. There is a small cooler too. We really enjoyed watching the paddlers on the canal and walking to some great restaurants. It was a great stay!

We loved this property. It is convenient to walk to anything. It is so nice to have access to laundry. The 7-11 next door is so handy for quick items you need. We would recommend to any families traveling!

The cost of the apartment was less than others listed and so very good value. It was less than 10 mins walk to the beach - Fort Derussy beach - I think much nicer than Waikiki as it was much quieter and right in front of a lovely park. Supermarkets were under 15 mins walk away, as was Waikiki itself. Busess were just a street away. So all in all it was a good location - walking distance to everything. The host Dan was excellent at communication and there was everything you could need in the flat - from very sharp kitchen knives ( so good!) to beach towels, beach chairs, snorkels, pilates ball, weights, yoga mat, all manner of cleaning products, and all basic essentials in the kitchen. As there was no one in the apartment the night before, Dan was kind enough to let us have an early check in. There were doors for both bedrooms ( not the case in many places - open plan living ) and a large comfy sofa in the sitting room. A good size dining table and adequately equipped kitchen.The pool is positioned so that it doesn't get much sun but was fine for a cooling-off quick dip. The beaches are stunning in Oahu so you'll just want to swim in that glorious sea Thank you so much Dan for making our stay very comfortable .

Lovely older condo with good view of Honolulu . A few minor glitches but overall it was a really great place for our vacation. It was rather loud at night from the street. Convenient to the beach. The owner was responsive. Would stay there again. One review mentioned roaches but we didn’t see any and believe me I would have noticed!

Security was great and parking was relatively convenient. The condo is in need of repair but was cleanliness was acceptable. Does not have central air and the portable units are noisy. Probably would not go back but it work ok for us.

This was a great place to stay. The listing was accurate. We were able to utilize street metered parking on the weeknights(free after 10pm-6am) the weekends we used the recommended parking garage. I really liked that there were beach items available. We were pleasantly surprised about having coffee maker and other items in the kitchen. The host communicated well too. Overall this was a great experience.

The property is just as described. I stayed here for five nights with my family. Both the property owners and the on-site management were very helpful. The answered questions I had. The communication was great.

This was our second time staying at this property and both the building and unit are well maintained. We also like the ability the location provides for us to walk to most things in Waikiki and is also on a good bus routes. Highly recommend it to those wanting to stay for a bit longer than the typical hotel stay.

We truly enjoyed our time here! It was the right amount of space for our 18 m old, came with a high chair and pack and play which was so useful. Full kitchen which we used daily. Owner was very responsive with check in and Julio helped us immensely with an ac issue that was resolved within one day. The location made walking to the beach, Hilton lagoon, and dinner very attainable! The included parking made longer traveling around the island easy too! Highly recommend and would book again. Interior is dated but functional.

We had been stationed on Oahu from 2008-2012. We discussed returning in 2021 when our oldest graduated high school; however, due to Covid, we were unable to keep this plan, and went when our youngest graduated just this May. It felt like coming home. The condo was spacious enough for the four of us to spread out, close enough that we walked most everywhere, and knowing it had an assigned parking spot made the decision to rent a car financially sound. We had the best time while on island, will not wait another 12 years to return, and would definitely stay at the condo again, if it is available. Mahalo to Loan and Lewis!

Walking distance to the beach and shopping. We did NOT rent a car based on what the owner stated in the descriptions. We used an uber multiple times and used Turo rental for a couple of days to explore more of the island. It was much cheaper than renting a car and paying for parking somewhere. It IS in a city. There are city noises (cars, people, sirens, etc.). Thankfully, the owner provided ear plugs. There are multiple fans to keep cool and an A/C system that looked fairly new--it worked well, but we had to empty the pan underneath the system (outside on the balcony) fairly often. Dan was a great communicator and was very responsive. We had all our basic needs in the kitchen and bathroom and it was nice to have beach towels and chairs. It was very clean and we felt safe. :). Hopefully the owner of the building replaces the hydraulic ram on the door for the emergency stairs in the hallway outside one of the bedrooms--it was VERY loud in the middle of the night. We liked that there were doors for each bedroom. It was my husband and I and our two adult children who stayed there. Overall, we would recommend.

We have stayed at this condo many times (before covid), the whole process is seamless, the onsite personnel was very friendly, she checked in with us a couple of times to ensure we were satisfied. Its a great location, away from the main strip, having onsite parking a definite plus. The condo is well maintained, having air con in each room was great, although some nights you could open the side door for fresh breeze, it's clean (and easy to keep clean). My only suggestion would be to replace the couch, its quite old and there is no support at all so you sink right into it. 100% would come back

Had a wonderful trip to Waikiki and stay in this space. It was easy to access (though the key was mislabeled which caused some confusion). It had everything we needed and appreciated the beach towels and chairs. Recommend if you're looking for a cute place to stay. The parking space was so helpful!!!

The location was nice, close by shopping, restaurants etc, but the street noise, emergency vehicles was non stop and very loud especially at night when you're trying to sleep. Absolutely no insulation with the windows in the bedrooms so you hear everything. Pest control guy came in the unit with no notice and unannounced. Good luck finding the parking, especially at night. It was very difficult as the numbers for the parking spot are the same color as the cement. The location is across the street in another building. Elevators are very outdated and sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't. The pool was very dirty and looks nothing like it did in the listing so we didn't use it at all. Very disappointing. The shower head pressure was minimal and took time for the hot water to heat up. The unit has a coffee pot/filters but no coffee or cream to start your stay. Communication with the host was intermittent. Had issues the first night and took him over 24hrs to respond.

This property was nicely appointed and the location was very convenient to most everything in Waikiki. Having onsite parking is very valuable in this area. We were very pleased with this stay.

Dan's 2 bedroom 1 bathroom condo is perfect. It is within walking distance of the Waikiki strip, we had a beautiful view of the Ala Wai Canal, and the property is clean and comfortable. Staying at this property made my husband and bestie's first trip to Hawaii perfect. We had a blast and look forward to going back as soon as possible.

Good place in walking distance to sights but noisy at night with street people and emergency vehicles.

We enjoyed our stay in Wakiki. Location was great for restaurants and walking to beach. Also walking distance to Ala Moana Mall. Bus stops were nearby to take us to Pearl Harbour and Diamond Head which was great. Monica was very accommodating since our flight left at midnight she allowed us use of the condo for the day since no one was booked that night. So thankful not to have to pull luggage around for the day!

Overall, this condo was very good. It was exactly as stated. It was a little tight for five of us, but we knew that with only one bathroom we’d have that. It was comfortable, though. Like others have said, it is right downtown, so there is street noise. We knew to expect that, so it didn’t bother us. Appreciated that each room had a fan in it, which could mask the noise. The balcony was great - loved sitting out there in the mornings with coffee. There was a little hiccup with check-in, but Julio was able to take care of everything fairly quickly.

Property was as advertised. Easy walk to wikiki and easy access to the freeway.

March 2024

It was enough room for the family for the stay with a great location and access. The disappointing things were had to wait on keys to enter room at check in, there were roaches in the kitchen and in the bathroom and worst of all we ran out of toilet paper; sent message to host and never got response back so we had to purchase our own
Darlene F.
March 2024

Overall property was clean and easy to find. Very easy to go a short drive to go grocery shopping or pick up food from nearby restaurants. We felt very safe staying at this condo. Condo was perfect size for our family of 4 and had everything we needed. There was some traffic noise but by the second day we didn't even notice it. The only downfall was that the parking was across the street in another building, but it was easy to access, and that building was also very secure. We would definitely stay here again.

The location and view were excellent. We did have some confusion with our check in but it was resolved. The plumbing and vanities could use some maintenance/upgrading. Thank you for a wonderful month in Waikiki.

From the moment we arrived, our hosts ( Loan and Lewis) were attentive to our every need. The condo was appointed with more than just the basics for a comfortable stay and whenever I had a question or request they responded immediately. Couldn’t have asked for better hosts!

This condo is on the 10th floor and had great views from the lanai of the canal and mountains. Bedrooms have small windows and no real view. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. Within walking distance to main hotels and dining. The parking space is tight but worked great. Would recommend.

Shower curtain had mold and kept falling down. Only one chair for the dining table. Seem to be lots of police action every night. Lots of homeless and run down local buildings.
