The view is great right in front of the ocean, and if you time it right, you can even see the fireworks. The owner was very kind and helpful.

The property is beautiful and right next to a large park. Lots of green space to enjoy relaxing, exercising and being outside. It is right in the middle of so many things to do and see. From shopping to food, the opportunities are endless. The walks on the boardwalk along the water front is awesome and was very enjoyable, even at night. The condo is VERY well supplied with all things needed to enjoy your stay. All you need is a few groceries from the ABC store (within walking distance) or the Wal-Mart or Safeway a short drive away. From the kitchen to the very relaxing living in room furniture, we had everything we needed to relax, including all the beach tools (chairs, etc). Each morning, the ocean is alive with surfers, boats and ocean life, The 14th floor view is incredible to watch it all. And the big surprise, they shot off fireworks for us on Friday night. Well, the Hilton does it EVERY Friday night and the entire community knows about it. So everyone shows up on the beaches, in the park and all around the area to watch. Our condo is directly toward the HIlton area so we relaxed in our lounge chairs and enjoyed the show. It was a wonderful addition to our trip.

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: My spouse and I stayed in this room for 8 nights. Up until now, we had always stayed in hotels during our trips to Hawaii, and this was our first time staying in a condominium, so we were a bit anxious. However, those concerns quickly disappeared as soon as we saw the clean, spacious interior and the amazing view from the windows. We were deeply impressed by the blue ocean, beautiful sunsets, sparkling night views, and the fireworks at Hilton. We treated ourselves by buying slightly more luxurious steaks, eggs, ham, salad, and wine, cooking in the room, and enjoying our meals on the lanai with a beautiful view, making it feel like we were truly living in Hawaii.The only minor issues were the weak water pressure in the shower and the smoke detector going off easily whenever we cooked. But even those small inconveniences were forgivable because the room was just that amazing. We can't imagine staying in a hotel again. We will definitely book this room again next year! We are also grateful to Paul, who kindly and brightly helped us in Japanese. “ARIGATO!”

We have stayed in this building before, the location is wonderful. The beds in this unit were very nice. The unit had a few minor issues (tub had a very slow drain so it filled up during shower) and one of the sliding doors would not close all the way. The maintenance was fixed right away. The furniture was a bit worn, but could be expected for a rental that gets this much traffic. The manager was very communicative.

I have been to Oahu 3 times now and this is by far my favorite place we have stayed. Location, location, location! We had a bit of a bumpy start with miscommunication during the check in process. Terry is VERY responsive though and everything was resolved quickly. On the plus side: I am a very picky sleeper - the bed and pillows are very comfortable and I slept great. The view of the park and the beach are wonderful. You can hear the birdsongs in the park every morning and throughout the day. It is WAY more quiet than anywhere else we have stayed in Waikiki. Secure parking garage is a huge plus. It's a little dicey getting in and out of, but we were grateful to have it. The kitchen is very well equipped. My daughter was with us for one night and Terry arranged a rollaway bed for her. My daughter slept great and said it was very comfortable. (Not your typical flimsy rollaway) Just a few things that we didn't love: The curtains are a rigid type of material, so they can't be moved to allow for opening the window in the bedroom. We had preferred fresh air at night to AC, but that wasn't possible. The ceiling fan in the bedroom appears to be installed backwards. It spins but no air is circulated. I called the desk and they brought us a fan, which worked fine. Assuming they will fix the ceiling fan. The sliding doors between the living area and bedroom cannot be closed. If you want to take a nap or have privacy, it's limited. Overall, still our favorite place in Waikiki!

Kai was very helpful and communicative the whole time. The property is exactly as you see in the pictures. It is right in front of the beach and had wonderful views of the fireworks on Friday. It was so convenient to be able to just walk onto the beach with the beach chairs, beach umbrella, and ice cooler with ice packs! All of which he provided on site. The rice cooker was a little outdated and the rice stuck to the bottom of the pot but I was appreciative that they had it for our use. I ended up cooking rice on the stove stop to make spam musubi. He was so nice to also get a brand new blender for us to use to make smoothies and Pina coladas. We used it everyday. We paid for the parking pass that made it super convenient. Loved the in room washer and dryer and plenty of towels for our 5 day stay at this location. Thank you again for making my first time in Oahu a great experience.

Clean, quiet, bright with great AC, comfortable beds, complete kitchen, and amazing views, both looking west and looking east. Highly recommended! The only kind I can find is the only give you one small bottle of shampoo. So you have to go out find me a place to buy shampoo, which is Annoying. However, this is the first rate place to stay. Just book it!

Amazing view!! Even saw a sea turtle from the beach! What is shown in the photos is what you can expect! Place was extremely clean. Only one issue the entire time. It was discovered by the property manager upon checkin that the refrigerator wasn’t working. Hadn’t heard from the property manager in a few days (due to weekend). Reached out on Monday and had a mini fridge by Tuesday due to the appliance guy unable to look at and fix. Overall, great experience and would recommend to others!

If you are ready for the stay in waikiki this is where you want to be. Great views of sunset and fireworks. Close to restaurants and shopping. Very comfortable with AC. Pull out couch would be best for 10 and under. Not great for 2 teens.

I loved my stay and loved #1316, would stay there again. Only complaint is that I was given wrong information by your reservations dept....I asked them if there was a smart tv so I could watch Netflix on my account. I was told there was not a smart tv, but there was a dvd player. I accordingly rented several DVD's, but when I checked in found that there was a smart tv, and the DVD player was inoperable because there was no remote. Your folks need to know what is in each unit.

My friends and I had the best time!! Check in was easy and the property manager was super friendly! We rented a car so we were able to get a parking pass and parking is just across the street. Very accommodating. The view from the condo was better than expected and very clean! Loved waking up to the view of the ocean! The location is perfect and walking distance from the beach, shops, bars and restaurants. We also loved that there was food and açaí bowls available and a gift shop just downstairs in our building. Loved getting a fresh açaí bowl every day. Having laundry and a kitchen was also a plus. Would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to others!

If you are considering a trip to Waikiki, this is the place to stay! The other reviews were helpful when we were planning our trip, so I want to reiterate that this property listing is accurate. In fact, it was even better than expected! Trieu is a joy to work with and met us promptly at arrival. The property is clean, well-maintained, well-stocked and the views are incredible. We enjoyed the convenient location to the beach and felt very safe in the area. There is plenty of shopping close by. Our trip included many locations so we had a rental car and were pleased with the parking arrangements, too. Highly recommend! It is evident that Trieu cares about this property and those who rent from him. Wonderful experience!

100% satisfied with our decision to stay here. The condo was exactly as advertised. The view is simply incredible, and the perfect spot for sunsets and viewing the fireworks. Great location with easy walking to cafes and shops. This clean condo provided everything we needed - kitchen, laundry, easy beach access (with turtles directly in front of the building), and we appreciated the extras such as beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. The car park optional extra was affordable and a welcome extra conveniently located directly across the street. Communication was easy, prompt and any queries prior to arrival were replied to. Excellent hosts, we appreciated the contact and offer to check in early, and the willingness to meet us at our convenience prior to checkout. We would stay here again.

The check-in process could have been smoother, it was hit or miss if the property manager would answer his phone. When we did connect, he was helpful and informative. However, it could have all been avoided if we were just given the code to the lock and allowed to let ourselves in at the appropriate time. The condo itself was PERFECT! Clean, bright, airy, and comfortable. The balcony was wonderful. The 5 glass doors were spotless and the doors slide effortlessly to allow us to move easily between the condo and the balcony. Lots of good dining options very easy walking distance. A convenience store is less than 2 blocks away. The beach, visible in the pictures is beautiful. We really appreciated the place having folding beach chairs and an umbrella. We enjoyed a very restful day at the beach as a result. Other than the awkward check in process, everything else was flawless, and that process could easily be improved.

We loved our stay at this condo. It was perfect for our family of four. The two bathrooms was fantastic and both the bed and sofabed were very comfy. Plenty of towels and it was easy to get replacement toilet paper and towels through the hotel. The location was exceptional and so convenient. There is the yummy steak shake and a delicious acai/coffee place all conveniently downstairs. Parking was great and there was a food truck park just a 12 minute walk away. Plenty of fun shopping and activities right on the beach. The sunset and Friday fireworks were awesome to see from the balcony. The perfect last day as we had a beautiful rainbow that could be seen from the balcony. Loved this place!
