The bus stops in front of the Ilikai hotel, as does the airport shuttle, and there is a taxi stand in front as well. But most of Waikiki is within walking distance.

All was very good, great location. Our only concern would be the pillows on tge beds should be replaced, very little support.

It was a great!! The only problem I had was that the room was listed as a 3 bedroom when it is in fact a 2 bedroom, so we had to purchase a 3rd bedroom in the hotel. But otherwise, great view, great spot. Yeah it’s a bit outdated with the patio doors and master bathroom tub, but that is no reason to not stay here. The owner was super helpful and quick to respond. Me and my group would stay here again :)

This was a fantastic condo on the edge of the ocean. A great place for family to gather, within easy walking distance of shops and restaurants. It was an easy drive to other parts of the island. I recommend a stay at this condo!

The views are as spectacular as the pictures. The location is a fantastic starting point for anything you want to do on Oahu! It’s definitely cozy but it had everything we needed except coffee filters but there are so many stores around you should be able to find anything you need. The bathrooms could use some love at some point but overall everything was fine. We weren’t “home” enough to mind any of the minor things that could use some updating. The check-in/out process was super easy and we really enjoyed our stay here! I would definitely stay here again if we make it back to Oahu!

This is a very comfortable and well equipped unit with amazing views of the marina. Sunsets on the lanai are must see. Our host Pat was prompt in responding to questions. Pat gave us great advice and suggestions which really made our time on Oahu great.

This property has an amazing view that is breath taking! The location is wonderful and the pool area and facility is very nicely done. The unit does need some repairs and updating. Some of the outlets do not work, the dish washer broke and leaked water all over the kitchen and living room, the hair dryer broke and the unit just needs some TLC. Pat, who owns the unit was very responsive and a delight to work with. She is in the process of updating the furniture and allowed us to have a later check out time. Such a memorable trip!

The condo was retro which we didn’t mind at all it was clean, everything worked, except the ceiling fan needs to be replaced in 2nd bedroom. the view and location was amazing. Very enjoyable stay!! Very comfortable!

This stay kicked off our Hawaii trip. The property and location worked for us. It is close enough to the action of Waikiki Beach to access everything we wanted to visit without the price of multiple rooms in one of the hotels. The public spaces were nice, the pool was as expected, and the $2 Tuesday ice cream scoops at the place in the lobby was a nice treat. It was also great to have less expensive parking fees at the marina ($24 / 24 hours as opposed to $45 per day valet). The unit itself is tired and could use a refresh in many areas. Everything worked and was serviceable, but was showing its wear. The beds were firm and the furniture was saggy from use. We had a strong storm move through one night and you could hear the wind whistling through the glass doors / windows, which needed reglazing. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen, but only one fry pan. No leftover condiments or non-perishables from other guests. Would I stay here again? At this property, yes. In this particular unit, probably not.

The condo can use some updating and better cleaners but it’s well laid out, fantastic views and a great location. We loved it.

Overall, we very much enjoyed our 4-night stay. Was it perfect - no, but I’m not fussy so all was good. The wives in our 2 couples are a little more discerning though and had some concerns. Main ones being the condition of the drapes in the master bedroom and the ceiling fan in the guest bedroom. Both need to be replaced. Overall appearance of the condo would have been very impressive 20-30 years ago, not so much now. View from lanais were great and hotel location was very convenient for groceries and walking to lagoon and ocean beach. Hotel has enough elevators and was never a problem getting to/from the room.

The size and location of the property are great. The overall condition was less than satisfactory. The property is in run down condition, many things are damaged or shabby. The floors in the bathroom were dirty, especially the grout and corners. The master bathroom bath tub was dirty, the shower curtain has mold on it and the jets on the spa tub were filthy, black with dirt or mold. The closet in the master bath was full of owners junk as was half of the closed in the master bedroom. I have photos of all of these statements. I was on a business trip and most of my schedule was booked or I wiuykd have sought alternative accommodations.

We have travelled all over the world. This was the worst place we ever stayed. I would like a refund for part of my costs. It was filthy and worn out. The bathroom floors were so dirty I washed them with lysol wipes which were so dirty when I was finished that I took picture of them. I took pictures of all the dysfunctions here. It is advertised as sleeping 6. It only sleeps 4 as the pull out sofa frame is broken and no one can sleep on it. The owner is aware of this according to the manager. And still advertises it as sleeping 6. She suggested that the sofa bed wasn't needed and 1 of the adults could just sleep on the couch or they could prop up the broken part!! Not possible as the frame is broken. She refused to help but the manager did bring us a cot which slept only 1 person and had to be in the living area. The cupboards and closets are stuffed with her or other people's belongings. There was no place to store our food other than the fridge and countertopThere is 1 towel and 1 face cloth for each person for the week. Not enough pillow cases. There was only 1 teaspoon. The curtains are so worn out they are no better than having sheers on the windows. The toaster is broken.No plug for kitchen sink. Not enough room to tell all that is wrong here It was expensive and it was junk. I sent an email to vrbo and marina Hawaii vacations on Mar 7 but have had no real response. I do intend to do something about this as I have many pictures of the filth of this place.

My guests and I enjoyed our stay at this condo unit located at the Ilikai. The unit was situated in a perfect location. There were plenty of amenities. Close to shops and restaurants, and the view was unmatched (as promised) especially the panoramic ocean view. The AC unit in the main room, however, failed (error code EP) on the fourth day of our stay, but that was a minor inconvenience. We used the fan on the AC unit and on the ceiling to help circulate the air. Overall, very satisfied with our stay at this condo unit!!

Great Location. Panoramic view of beaches and marina. Two bedrooms used by four adults. The three kids needed to sleep in the living room which worked out well.

Such a fun place to stay! Love this location in the Historic Hotel. We were able to shop, eat, surf and swim with just a short walk away. The room is decorated in Hawaiian style. It was clean and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay.

If you are looking for views and possibly being a little part of history, then this is the place for you. So much nearby and even the mile walk to more shops and restaurants is easily doable. Some toiletries are provided which is nice. The interior designer in me struggled with the place needing updated, but the views and the Hawaiin vibes made up for that. My only complaint is less about the specific condo than the Ilikai itself. The hallways and elevators were so hot and stuffy that there were times I nearly felt faint enough to pass out. But again, this specific condo can't really do anything about that. I would definitely stay here again.

The location was brilliant. The property very dated. The aircon and fans very loud, so not possible to have them running when sleeping. Curtains very thin and aged, so the brightness from inside was always there, even during the night. For the cost of staying at this property, these are things that should be addressed, together with the quality of the bedding.

Overall our experience at this property was good. The views and location helped to make up for some of the things the property might lack. There are very limited cooking utensils and the unit was somewhat dirty on arrival (floors/tub/shower). I would recommend confirming with the management company before you arrive on your door code, as it was never sent to us until after we arrived and reached out to them. However, if you’re looking for a location with the epitome of Waikiki views/activities, this would be the place. Friday night fireworks are visible from the balcony, which was a really neat experience! I do recommend this place, just note some of the above comments.

We stayed in the property for a week in May 2022. The property is a bit dated (older building) but the views are absolutely fantastic!

The best thing about this place was the view and location. It was awesome and made the stay worth it. The furniture is not comfortable but we were gone all day so it didn't affect us much. The biggest complaint I have is the queen sofa sleeper. That bed is not usable at all. It is completely sunken in and you can feel all the coils. My adult son was out of a bed. We tried the air mattress and he woke up on the floor because it had deflated. He sucked it up and we shared a bed so it didn't ruin our stay, but had it been 7 adults like the description says this place can accommodate it would have been a major problem. I didn't notify anyone because it wasn't necessary, but I would consider replacing this mattress for future guests that may be relying on this extra bed. If you need extra towels it's a $2 charge for each (not a big deal but thought people should know as there are not really extra.) You get 1 extra trash bag which we made work. One suggestion, maybe supply basic spices like salt and pepper. The tub in the master makes a lot of creaking sounds and kinda makes you feel like it's not stable. I don't know if that's something that can be checked out. The other bathroom shower is leaking and you may want to check that out as well. And also, you may want to update your listing because the fireworks don't seem to be happening anymore. We were very excited about that perk, planned our day to be there for that, and then it didn't happen. Overall we enjoyed our stay and appreciate allowing us to enjoy your property.

The check in check out process was simple! The view from the condo is absolutely gorgeous. The unit itself is a little dated but we really didn’t spend much time there except to sleep! The condo itself was surface cleaned but could use a good deep cleaning. Would recommend because of the location and view!


Nicole D.
May 2022
Just as advertised. Great place for a family, beautiful views. Lots to do in the area, walking or driving distance both at night and during the day. Very busy on the grounds/pool/lagoon and in the lobby/elevator so would just say if you’re looking for a quiet, lazy location this might be too busy for you.

The building was built in 1964 so while the lobby, pool areas, and location are great the condo I rented looked like 1964. Had a.great trip though celebrating one of my granddaughters 18th birthday.

We had a great time during our stay at the Ilikai! We are a family of four with young adults. The pictures are a very good representation of the condo, you simply can't beat the view. Location is great with easy access to the beach, shopping, restaurants, etc. but not as busy as Waikiki. Downtown Waikiki and Waikiki beach is within walking distance (about 20 min). Valet parking is available and recommended, we found it very easy to get in/out. Pat is extremely knowledgeable about the area and sent a ton of information/recommendations for our stay. Thanks Pat! We would recommend without reservation.

Condo is just as it is listed! Amazing view of the lagoon, marina, and the ocean. Close enough to walk to most restaurants and shops in the area. As well as a great location to drive to any location that you please. I would stay here again. The owner is great, ask for tips on where to go and what to do if this is your first time visiting Oahu!!

The unit was great, and comfortable and the location was ideal, being close to downtown but not in the middle of all the hub-bub. We were surprised that we were supplied with only one kitchen garbage bag and one pod for the dishwasher. When we contacted the property manager, it seemed that this was their standard operating procedure which we found odd based on the hundreds of vrbo rentals we've done in the past.

Such an amazing place! The only suggestion I have is blackout curtains or at least lined. The view is amazing but in the aftermoon those thin curtains allow the heat in. Feel like it would be a lot cooler and more energy efficient with better curtains! Thank you so much for having us!! Hope to come back soon : )

Pat was very easy to communicate with and did her best to make our stay enjoyable. I cannot say enough about the amazing 180° views of the beach and downtown Honolulu. Our time on the deck watching the sunset was the most memorable part of our trip. The kitchen is well-stocked and the unit comfortably sleeps five, although there are some inflatable air mattresses if you need them. The property is a bit dated compared to some of the other hotels in the vicinity , and make sure to bring plenty of quarters for the laundry machines down the hallway. We had a great time and hope to return to Hawaii soon. Thank you Pat!

This place has the most unbelievable views I’ve ever enjoyed - and I’ve enjoyed several! Kitchen was compact but serviceable, the Ilikai is iconic, we could see it from the water, from most places in the city: we were never lost. The bed in the master bedroom is uncomfortably hard, the middle sized bed in the smaller bedroom was absolutely perfect so I slept with my daughter. We will never forget our stay with these phenomenal views, great family trip!

The condo was very nice and the view was spectacular. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Great kitchenware and items for the beach. We were all very comfortable and the location was close to restaurants and shopping and a beach. The only thing that we missed was having the bar open every day… closed on Tuesday snd Wednesday. Probably due to Covid. Other than that, we will book again.

Great view, Close to shopping and other activities. Property was clean and well maintained and the owner very helpful with suggestions of activities. Happy to recommend to anyone



February 2014
The owner is so helpful! We first stayed in this gorgeous corner condo about 2 ½ years ago, and then a few weeks ago. Upon returning from a cruise in Asia, we decided at the last minute to stop in Hawaii for a few days rest before continuing the journey home. With no notice, I called the owner and she arranged a wonderful stay for the 6 of us (my elderly parents, my husband and myself and our 2 teens). As before, we enjoyed watching the spectacular sunsets and later drifting off to relaxing sleep listening to waves on the ever so comfortable beds. It was just the rest we needed. We really like the quality classical Polynesian furnishings which match the furniture of the Ilikai lobby—they really enhance the Hawaiian vacation experience. Very romantic (even with the parents and teens!) and perfection in every way!

Very disappointed with this unit,it needs a total update and deep cleaning.The shades are broken,no privacy and no way to darken rooms to sleep,the beds need to be replaced,springs felt in pull out sofa the floor was a better option. The only good thing about this unit was the view. After several attempts the problems were address promptly and professionally



October 2013
Perfect condo, & location for everything you would ever want to do on Oahu. We were fortunate the first day we arrived, to discovered that it was easy to rent a GoGo Sport for the week. That helped for me to enjoy easy back & forth to the beach, shopping, restaurants, and all other outings in the area. The views and comfort of the condo were perfect for us 4 "Hawaii Girls". The beds were the ultimate comfort! We will be reserving for 2014 & husbands will be included. The owner was so helpful, pleasant & easy to work with for our "Hawaii Girls" dream vacation!!!

We loved our week in your fabulous condo. The location was perfect, the views were breathtaking and we completely enjoyed our stay. The fireworks off of the balcony were fantastic and we loved having easy access to the beach and pool!



August 2013
Loved our stay at the Ilikai. We are a group of friends travelling together who didn't want to break the bank for our stay at Waikiki. This property is centrally located, and the unit itself was spacious and comfortable yet at a fraction of the price of nearby hotels and resorts. Owner Pat is very responsive and accomidating via e-mails. Would definitely return.



August 2013
We want to confirm all the previous positive reviews of the condo. We stayed in the condo for a few days in mid-August. The views from the two balconies are spectacular – one gives you the harbor and ocean, and the other the Hilton Lagoon and ocean. The fireworks Friday night at the Hilton Lagoon look as if they are coming straight toward the balcony. The condo provides an ideal location. It is in the Ilikai Hotel which has several restaurants and even a small grocery store. There are several ABC stores nearby and a McDonalds across the street. You can walk to at least 100 different restaurants in less than 15 minutes. There is the huge Ala Moana shopping center about a 10 minute walk away. The pool at the Ilikai is very nice. You do not cross a road to get to either the Lagoon or the beach. The owner is a pleasure to deal with and extremely efficient. She grew up on the island and can provide a wide list of activities and restaurants and the best way to accomplish everything. Her insights will save you a great deal of time. I really could go on, but the bottom line – we liked our short stay so much we are currently trying to arrange a longer stay in Honolulu for next year. One difficulty is finding an opening for this condo.

I only had a stay of 2 days in this condo, 2 adults & 2 children aged 9 & 6. This condo has premium position and the view is one of the best. The chattels are adequate and we had everything that we needed, although I took extreme care with the blinds that are perhaps a bit worn.There was a bit of noise at night from the bar below, but nothing that was too bad and we all slept well & woke to the magnificent view out over the ocean and lagoon.What a surprise to see a piano, pity that none of us play.Dealing with Pat the owner was very seemless and I must thank you for the wonderful insight and pages of info, we did all that you suggested and was good to see some of the real Hawaii. Mahalo



May 2013
The location and size of the appartment were excellent,the appartment was probably due for a little maintenance and update but this didn't cause us any less enjoyment.There could have been a few basic items such as dishwasher powder ,tea towels etc but we were able to make do with a little extra expense. The toaster did not work and needs replacing. We enjoyed the location,views and excellent fireworks display. Fortunately the appartment was available early as I am not sure if there is a mechanism for baggage storage for early arrivals,flights from Australia all arrive early morning.

Fantastic stay and holiday in this great apartment. Location is just sensational, beautiful views, sunrises and sunsets. The apartment was clean and spacious and exactly as displayed in the photos and described in the description, in addition the hotel amenities were lovely. The staff at Valet were brilliant and very courteous. Owner easy to communicate with and vacation managers in hotel (check in) were good also. Will definitely book again when we come back to Waikiki.

Note: Vacancy calendar is approximate. Visit the owner/manager's reservation site to verify your dates.
