We had a wonderful 10 day stay here to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday. Easy check in. We were greeted by an agent who took us to the condo and explained the details. The condo was clean and had all the kitchen essentials we needed. The bed was a little too firm for our liking. The lanai was spacious with beautiful views of the ocean. The beach is just right downstairs with beach chairs and umbrella rentals available. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping within walking distance. There are ABC stores everywhere if you forgot to pack anything. There was no need to rent a car the whole time we were here. There was plenty of Uber or Lyfts available if you get tired of walking. We did rent a car for a few day to go to the North Shore, which is a must see! Very easy to rent a car. Overall had a wonderful time and the condo was perfect for the 2 of us. I would definitely stay here again!

The view itself from this property is worth the rent. I cannot imagine a better location to stay in Waikiki than this property. Upon our arrival, the host had someone meet us at the building to show us how to work all of the security features, furnishings, and appliances in the apartment. We never tried to use the TV because we had so much else to do and the balcony view was more than enough entertainment, but every other appliance worked flawlessly.
Close to city bus lines, the Waikiki Trolley lines, and within walking distance to so many dining and shopping facilities, you may not need to rent a car unless you are planning to venture outside of Waikiki. We rented one for only three days of our weeklong stay.
Superlative hospitality along with an exquisitely located, intensely well-maintained, beautiful property made this a vacation that we will always remember. The warmth and care demonstrated by the host spoke volumes about the "aloha" spirit that characterizes the best parts of these islands.
Stay here if you can. You will be very glad that you did. We love it and hope to return some day. Kai, Martin and company are excellent hosts.

The property was perfect! Walk right to the beach - restaurants - bars - shops. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful and seen right from the lanai. The location could not be beat! Loved reading my book in the comfy chair on the lanai while watching the waves and amazing blue water.

Property was as described and then some. We stayed almost 10 days and had a great experience. Great communication with Host, Check-in generally easy. A perfect spot to people watch and close to action on Waikiki. Parking included was a plus for us with a rental car. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

We chose Tommy’s property because he offers 3 bedrooms 3 bathrooms with the spectacular view, which was perfect for us a family of 7.
Conveniently located and commutation with the host was swift.
The unit was well equipped including a rice cooker that came in handy. Would stay there again for sure.

If you want to experience Waikiki and what Oahu is all about then stay here. Our host, Sachi, kept in contact prior to our visit and greeted us upon arrival. The price to stay here is a great value and the experience is amazing. Everything is a 5 to 10 minute walk and transportation is right out front. This is one of the nicest apartments I have ever stayed at and I am sure you will love it as much as we did.

This condo is perfect. It is clean, has a comfortable bed, and all the amenities one would need. This condo has a fabulous view of the ocean and beach. From the balcony you can see the beautiful sunsets, as well as the fireworks on Friday nights. It is in the center of Waikīkī and close to everything you would need from shopping to restaurants. Highly recommended this condo!

Unit is equipped A-Z, right on the beach, with abundant dining and shopping options within 10-minute walk. Secured, free self-park but only need a care if you plan on driving to the sights yourself - otherwise just Uber to / from and enjoy the location.

Previous reviews are grossly inaccurate. Property is in very poor shape. Blinds were broken. Clock was broken. Bed was actually a foam pad on top of a bad mattress. Overall property was not clean. Our socks were dirty from just walking in the room. Shower was just plain gross. Some lights did not work. Not a pleasant property at all. All it has going for it is the view. Will not book again with Luana Hawaii Reality.

This trip was an early birthday present for my mother who is turning 90 in December. Her favorite place to visit is Oahu. We loved it so much, and it was difficult to go home.
The condo: this condo has everything. All you need is your clothing and groceries. And it is stunning! When we entered the condo, we all said "WOW" in unison! My boyfriend got goosebumps. The views are stunning (the photos don't do it justice), and you're steps away from the beach. The 10-minute fireworks display on Friday evening, while sitting out on the balcony, shouldn't be missed.
When looking for accommodations for this trip, I had a three-item wish list that I really didn't expect to find. This condo had all three: bidet toilets (don't knock it till you've tried it), a walk-in shower with grab bars (perfect for my mother) and mini-splits in all spaces.
The host: Tommy is amazing! He's such a wonderful and gracious person. He gave us recommendations and was so incredibly helpful and kind.
If you choose to stay here, you will not be disappointed.

We loved the size of the room with all the necessary amenities. The beach is visible from the lanai which allowed us to enjoy a morning coffee while enjoying the ocean breeze. Our only suggestion would be to replace the sliding shade that goes the length of the room. It was broken in places which allowed street light to beam in at night.

Jeff, you were easy to deal with. Very accessible by email or VRBO portal and answered all my questions immediately. It was a pleasure staying in your condo. We made it our home away from home. My daughter is already wanting to go back 😂

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.

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!

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.
