Had a big family vacation with all the families having their own condos in the building. Was a great time and our condo was definitely one of the better ones! Was a great space and was fully equipped with everything we needed.

The location and proximity to the beach is exactly as pictured on the website. The beach is just a few steps away, plus shops and restaurants all around. The neighborhood is busy but the hotel is quite. The kitchen had items that you need as described by the manager. No problem getting inside the room. Very clean and orderly. The 10th floor roof deck view was beyond amazing. I will definitely stay at this same hotel when I get the chance to visit Hawaii again.

Our family comes to Oahu every year for the last 6-7 years. We have rented numbers of units on other HI islands as well. By far this property is the best yet! We are a family of 4 and typically the units we rent are lacking when speaking of having enough room. This is not the case with this unit. The view from the room on the 35th floor was amazing. There are breathtaking views from the living room, bedrooms and even bathroom! The unit is well kept and up to date. Tom the owner was easy to work with and we had no issues during our 9 night stay. I would highly recommend this unit!

Reviewer Comments: 家族4人の家族旅行で利用しました。お部屋は清潔感もあり、ダブルベット2台とソファーベッドで、ソファーベッドは広げると2人が眠れる大きさなので、子連れの4人家族でも大丈夫でした。シーツやタオル類も充分あり、ランドリールームやトラッシュルームも部屋から近くて助かりました。また、なにより眺めが最高です。ダイヤモンドヘッドがラナイから見れたので、ずっとお部屋にいても満足できるくらいです。さらに6階のプールエリアフロアからは遮るものが何もなくダイヤモンドを見ることができます!本当に素晴らしいです。駐車場もついており&#

We enjoyed our stay. The rental was exactly as it appeared online. We’re not fancy people and don’t need fancy furniture or amenities. Location-wise it’s towards the end of the strip on Kalakaua Ave but also really close to Kapahulu Ave so everything was really convenient and walkable for us. The check-in process was convenient and easy. Literally, just pop up to your door, punch in your keycode. You don’t need to talk to the front desk or security. Parking was relatively easy and we always found a spot. The parking staff is really sweet, just know that occasionally there’ll be a wait to either get in or get out of the garage. And same for the elevators - during busy times you’ll be waiting a while for one to show up, and then once you’re on, you’ll be stopping on multiple floors to pick up more people. We also appreciated that there were cleaning supplies left for us to take care of minor things like wiping down our kitchen messes or sweeping up crumbs on the floor.

Courtney has transformed this place beautifully and our stay was awesome. We cooked in the full kitchen. We watched movies and the Olympics at night (Netflix, Disney, Peacock, more). Beds were clean and comfortable. The place has a nice pool, workout room, and a place to hang and BBQ. We walked to the beach and enjoyed town, communication was excellent, overall awesome and we would come back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I stayed here for 7 days. The view is amazing. It's better than the pictures! Location is great. It's 5 min walk to the beach and walking distance to the restaurants and shops in Waikiki. The room was clean. The shower had good water pressure. Having a washer and dryer on each floor was very convenient. The app for the laundry was easy to use. There are 4 elevators, so we didn't have to wait very long. Staff was very nice and property manager Byron was very helpful. We loved relaxing and eating in the lanai. You can watch surfers catching waves from there. We wish we could stay there longer!

Location excellent. Very nice to have a parking space. Nice to have beach chairs. Chairs on balcony and seats in kitchen are not comfortable. Furniture, carpet and curtains need updating. Manager responsive.

My fiance and I stayed here for a friends wedding. It’s was a just as cute and updated as it looks in the photos. Great location, can walk to everything. Comes with everything you need for a beach day (towels, rolling cart filled with umbrellas, life vests, boogie boards, etc) would be an excellent stay for a family! We enjoyed the pool & common areas, too.

Overall stay wasn't too bad - nice view (tho blocked by other buildings, still good and as described), and renovated apartment, definitely modern & cleaner compared to other properties' photos you may find in Waikiki as most of buildings there are quite old. However, couple of issues we just really couldn't let go: - Bathtub clogging issue: This was issue from Day 1. I believe they need hair catcher or something placed. It appears cleaner did not care too much about cleaning the bathtub drain after previous customers. I contacted owners and while they replied that night with solution (bringing plumber next day), this end up not happening. My mum ended up digging out hairs and such in the drain with chopsticks as it just doesn't make sense to wait long time for dirty water to go down after one's shower before next one showers. Owners messaged late that night that plumber cancelled and offer to come next day at 11pm or later, but what had to be done was already done by that time. - Our last night was also ruined by random events. Apparently there was a fire started on 26th floor and while I'm grateful it wasn't our floor but still worried us! Whole night from 6pm, there were multiple fires and we were asked to come all outside the building and wasn't allowed to go in till 10ish and ofc all roads were blocked with police + fire trucks. Quite distressful experience and we were honestly exhausted, and had to stay up till late to finish packing. Unlike hotel, no compensation...

This location is nice, and lots to do without leaving the area. It reminds me of the Vegas Strip in the evening with the number of people and cars on the streets but expected being right across the famous Waikiki beach. The hosts have additional beach items, which was a bonus! We had a car rental so we explored the Island since we like to avoid crowds. The paid parking on location is pricey at $30 a day, but well worth it for the convenience. It’s about an hour from North Shore and 20 mins or so from the airport. Spectacular views from the 10th floor, don't miss it! Overall a great stay and worked well for my husband and I.

We had such an amazing first visit to Hawaii that we will definitely be returning! From the moment we arrived, my 5 & 3 year old felt completely at home. The bunkbeds were perfect for them, and the condo was equipped with everything you could ever need. The parking was a huge bonus and always easy to get a spot & quick in/out privileges. The walk to the kids beach was very short & easy. Extremely walkable to all shops and restaurants. The kids loved the bbq and pool area for swimming and playing in the grass. I would highly recommend a family stay here for so many reasons. Courtney was amazing to deal with, responded quickly, was very friendly, and check in/out was incredibly simple as well. Mahalo!

Self check-in was easy. Instructions from host was accurate and easy to follow. The condo is beautifully renovated, and the host ensured special requests (eg. baby high chair) was made available. We especially loved how the essentials for cooking were available (eg. cooking oil and soy sauce). We'd defintely come back again.

The check in process was super easy and fast. Communication was on point with the property manager. The room was a perfect fit for a group of 4! The view was pretty and the room had everything we needed. Walking distance to many things including the beach, shops, and restaurants! The building also had great amenities. Overall 10/10 stay would book again in the future.

My husband and I and our two teenage boys stayed here for a week and it was perfect for us. A great view from the lanai, walking distance to shops, restaurants, and activities and easy in/out of the connected parking garage. Check in and out was seamless and Courtney was a great hostess. I’d definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Waikiki and wanting a little more space than a hotel room.

My sister, my daughter and I came to Oahu for 6 nights to celebrate multiple things. My daughter just graduated high school🥳 She also just got her drivers license. My sister was celebrating her last mortgage payment being paid ☺️ We had a Great time! The property was clean, comfortable and very close to the beach, and many great spots for dining and shopping. We drove to Sans Souci beach 3 days in a row. Great spot to lounge on the beach, and snorkel. I saw 3 sea turtles 🐢 and many tropical fish. Our flight home was scheduled very late at night. The property manager was kind to allow us to check out later than the contracted 10am time. This allowed us to stay in a cool (AC was very quick to cool the room) and safe place (we didn’t have to keep all of our luggage in the rental car all day) Thank you Chris and Sara for hosting us. We will remember many moments from this trip

We enjoyed our stay. The property is older, no wow factor walking in. However the unit was very nicely remodeled. It is older and just a Fresh coat of paint and upgrades, but it was charming and cozy. One request would be more mirrors, only the bathroom mirrors with one bathroom so when four people are trying to get ready, they were doing hair and makeup out in the kitchen. It's about a 5-minute walk to Waikiki beach. Beautiful views of Diamond Head, if you are going to hike it, get a reservation early.

The property was in a perfect location, only about a 5 min walk to Waikiki Beach. The beds were comfortable, the unit was clean and well stocked. My only suggestion would be consider providing dish soap, trash bags, toilet paper and paper towels based on number of weeks that are being stayed rather than same amount per stay. Also, a higher quality of toilet paper would be appreciated. Overall, great property.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Recommend against staying here. Experienced traveler to Hawaii speaking here...Waikiki Sunset is one of the nicer venues to stay...but I would never invite friends over if I took care of a condo property like this. Not sure when their photo was taken on the advert for it but is NOT ACCURATE! Plus, the kitchen furniture is dirty, nicked, and dangerously falling apart (no exaggeration). The microwave over the stove didn’t work. The carpet is godawful stained. I must say the floors, counters, linens, etc. were clean so their cleaning crew should get an A+ but omg the furniture... When I arrived, two of the bedroom lamps were obvious shock and fire hazards. Did no one ever notice?? The Mtc person (Renton) replaced them so a thanks for that. But this property is indicative of what’s wrong with Waikiki and in a larger sense, Hawaii...a money grab and you don’t find out until you get here. Overall surprising because Ali’i Beach Rentals used to have a good reputation...
