Check in was very easy and straight forward. I appreciated the detailed instructions. Parking was very easy. The location was great. We were able to walk to most places. The condo itself was not the best. They did have kitchen supplies but they didn’t even have the basic seasonings. Not ever salt and pepper. Never stayed in an Airbnb without the basics. That was super inconvenient but whatever. The sheets were clean which was good but a couple of the towels has little stain and hair. The bathroom door is nasty. I wish I can attach pictures. Seems like it’s never been wiped down. The door around the handle was basically black because of the dirt. Same thing with the entry door. Everything else was ok. Also the description states that in order to do laundry we would have to load a laundry card that is provided. Well that was not the case. We had to buy the laundry card for $5 and then load it. $5 is not a huge deal, I just didn’t like the false information.

3rd time at this property (different units each time). Location is the best feature. First time parking above 1st level and the driveway up is STEEP! Careful if you are driving anything larger than a compact car.The mattress needs to be replaced, too soft and is warped due to aging/quality. Lack of lighting where you need it, I've never had this experience but there should be better lighting in the bathroom above sink, in the area by the closet/mirror outside bathroom, in the hallway as soon as you walk in. Can barely see yourself in the mirrors when getting ready. TV station selection not the greatest in this unit. Nothing is in real time, no sports, no realtime news, everything is streaming.I would stay in a different unit next year.

It was nice to be able to walk to all the shops and beach, the parking space was a added bonus.

We have stayed in the Marine surf many times. The best part of staying here is the free parking! This particular unit was pretty clean (we did not find any bugs which is rare for this building) the location is great for those who want to be in the middle of it all... that comes with the noise though. So early mornings lots of noise and late nights (particularly on the weekend) a lot of noise too. This unit had a few extras like beach towels & beach chairs. It could use a cooler though for the beach. The one thing this unit could use is a new mattress! My husband and I both thought it was too soft and it was a bit saggy in the middle. I definitely think you get what u pay for. For the price I was satisfied.

This was my first visit to Hawaii and it was so wonderful I will visit again. Location of accommodations were beyond my expectations…close to lots of restaurants and shopping. Nice night life and safe area.
A few items to consider with 1009, additional nightstand, replace mattress (way too soft/worn) have working ceiling fan and check electrical outlet connected to aircon. A few times sparks appeared while trying to secure floor fan to same outlet.
Other than that I had a fantastic stay.

Loved staying here. A lot of places don't provide a parking space, this one does in a secure parking garage attached to the building! The lobby with the bathrooms were lovely. Super easy to walk to the beach and all of the shops. A great location to drive from. A tap bit noisy at night, but ear plugs and the air conditioner definitely help with that! Overall, I would definitely recommend it!

The condo was the perfect place for us! Very close to restaurants, the beach, and had an easy spot for us to park for free. The building felt secured and safe and the city noise was not too bad if you keep all the windows and door shut. I would definitely stay here again!

Awesome place two blocks off Waikiki Beach. The parking spot is super nice to have. The full kitchen is super great too. I’d still give it 5 stars but the o my thing to note is you hear a lot of street noise. Bring some earplugs and it will be fine.

The best part of this rental is the location, we were steps away from all of the beaches in Waikiki and within easy walking distance of basically everything we wanted to do in Waikiki. Was also really nice to have a parking spot, because street parking would have been a disaster. The building was clean and secure, and check-in/out was super easy. Only small complaint was a noisy air conditioner and a tiny stove that made cooking kind of a chore when we did it a few times, but overall an excellent experience, would stay again for sure.

Another great stay at an Alii property. Room was clean, organized, and spacious. Furniture was well taken care of, nice lanai overlooking the back streets of Waikiki. Cons were that elevator could be a bit slow and the property was a bit back in Waikiki, thus a walk to the beach. Id highly recommend for the price with parking in Waikiki.

This property was in a perfect location. Walking distance to everything including TONS of shopping, local restaurants, dessert, and even Waikiki Beach. It was very comfortable and had plenty of space as a studio. The property complex is a little outdated compared to other complexes in the area, but it was clean and the price for the location is hard to beat. The pool is small with limited seating, but in good condition and we enjoyed an afternoon there. Check-in and check-out was incredibly easy, but there's not always a person in the lobby area so you'll need to rely on check-in instructions from emails and the app.

Location is in the middle of it all. Ideal for someone not traveling with kids. It is so loud outside that it can be hard to sleep. The outter wall/sliding door wall isn't even a real wall so all the noise comes through. Finding where to park was a hassle because the entrace is through a driveway that says "exit". Took us almost an hour to figure this out. Also, be mindful the parking entrance is on a one- way street and you are surrounded by one way streets,so if you miss it, you gotta go all the way around. We arrived on a saturday and called the service number for help only to end up at an automatated message because that number is only good monday-friday. Had to leave a message on a number for "real emergencies". Someone did eventually call us back. Room is very outdated. The fridge door was SO squeeky that it woke up my daughter while trying to grab something from the fridge. Eventually had to put a drop of soap on the hinges because it was so loud. The bed was literally broken. We slept soo uncomfortably and eventually realized (sheer coincidence while trying to get a toy my kiddo dropped and went under the bed) that the frame was literally broken down the center. We sent an email to the manager who sent out a maintenance worker. The employee did arrive and was quick however had to return later to actaully replace the frame , mind you we had stuff planned and had to leave so the worker had to return when we were gone. The worker said the mattress could not be replace without prior approval so we still slept on a bed that felt like it had busted springs. We would roll into each other or feel like we would roll off the bed because the springs felt wornout. Floor did not seem to be swept when we arrived, yet they have a vacuum and broom there for you to do so. The laundry is a shared washer and dryer (only 1 of each for the whole floor), not in unit, so its always being used. They leave a binder with instructions on having to fill out another form and turning it into the front desk. We did not have said form as they said and had to get it from the front desk. We seemed to always miss the person working the front until a few days after our check in. Felt like we had to spend a lot of time communicating with staff which is the last thing we want to do on vacation. The bed situation literally made us want to just go home. The futon was also very old and worn. Disappointing that a business would not ensure working and good items. Will not return.

Location is wonderful. Close to beach, Ross, Boba tea shop, ABC, restaurants and best of all FREE PARKING! You will not find th8s anywhere else. (Rent a small car, as the upper parking ramp has a tight turn). Plus, no resort fee. This room had ample towels and beach towels. Well stocked kitchen appliances and gadgets if u want to cook. Furniture is a bit dated but that was not important as it had what we needed, (which was a Queen bed and flip couch/bed). It was all useful and functional. Clean room. Location is close to the center of basically everything. Stayed at Marine Surf for all my vacations since 2015 and love everything about my stays here. Laundry on site. Key fob entry feels secure. Night security often walks thru the parking garage to keep things safe just in case. Some outside noise from rowdy folks from nearby bars late at night but the A/C masks that mostly. A/C is a bit noisy but I find it more like white noise. Very pleasant stay here and highly recommend it.

Location, Location, Location. We were a couple blocks from the beach. We had other family staying down Kalakaua Ave and always felt comfortable walking back and forth even late at night as that area is always hopping. There was some street noise at night that we diffused with the included fan. I loved the designated parking spot! Everything was clean and perfect for our short stay. If you are looking for brand new everything, it is not that, but clean. We didn't really cook so I can't speak to what is available in the kitchen. We did get some groceries from the ABC store just outside the main entrance. Ate on the terrace every morning for breakfast. Many restaurants within walking distance. We ate at Steak Shack a couple times. Highly recommend! Check-in was very easy as they provide instructions right before you arrive. Overall, I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We have stayed in several Alii beach rentals. Both have been great down town locations. Our last stay our room faced the street. Seaside Ave. Busy street, so we had lots of street noise. But, we had free parking, close to everything and the beach. It was clean, but not as clean as it could have been. Base boards could have used a wipe down, a few basic touch ups would greatly improve the experience. Over all a wonderful stay.

This rental is near everything in Waikiki. Walking distance to malls, restaurants, and beach. Would of gave 5 stars to all the review questions. Only reason I gave 4 stars to 2 out of 5 questions was because of the A/C unit. The unit wasnt plugged into the wall or on its own system. Because it shared a plug with the t.v., cable box, wifi box, etc. the plug switch would flip and shut off. It was just a little inconvenient to have to turn it on every so often. Other than that everything was great. I would recommend the a/c unit to be on its own outlet plug. I would stay again.

The building where the condo is located is a bit worse for the wear, but I didn't come to Hawaii for that. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The location was just a short walk to the beach, good restaurants, and was very convenient. I liked the free parking. Between the air conditioning and the street though, it was a little loud, if I stayed there again I might bring earplugs.

We stayed at this condo and it was great! The room has a nice kitchen and a full size refrigerator. My family could sleep 3 comfortably. It is located next to the laundry room which is very convenient. The site also provided free parking leaving you more money to spend on your trip. I don’t think any other property offers free parking. As for the location the room is minutes away from the beach and shops. You will not be missing out on anything. The only downside I can think of is at night you can hear cars drive by being nosy or playing their music. I highly recommend this room if your on a budget.
