The good: Kind and responsive host. Location (as long as you want to be in a busy city and deal with traffic to get elsewhere each day). Clean. Proximity to a lot of city options (food, clothes, gift shops, etc). Price seemed fair.
The not so good: traffic. The second bed/pull out sofa. I have had a pull out and it was much more comfortable. This one is not very sleep friendly - you feel the bar, springs, it makes LOTS of noise when you move, etc. RECOMMEN DATION if you do go there, put the mattress from the pull out sofa sleeper on the floor. Not classy, but we managed to sleep that way much better than when it was on the frame. If the host would improve the sofa, it would have met my expectations.
To the host: thanks for your responsiveness and letting us stay in your Condo.

Just to be clear, this condo is on the beach. Sometimes a few steps means a quarter of a mile. Not so with this one. Its also bigger and nicer than we expected from the listing. Theres a very convenient side entrance directly into the Outrigger Reef resort next door for great drinks, dining and Starbucks. This condo is less that 3 blocks to significant shopping, dining and night life. It doesnt come with a parking spot and we rented a car. That was a mistake. We will return, we will use the same condo, but no need for a rental car. For the one or two times you drive out to sight see, you can rent a car, scooter or slingshot very cheap from stores in walking distance. Most desirable tours pick you up at Trump Tower directly across the street. Uber is everywhere in this area. Great visit.

We loved the apartment. Super comfortable bed with great pillows. My granddaughter used the sofa bed and it was quite uncomfortable. She ended sleeping between us. She said the tubes were very hard. I would lay at night to watch some tv and she was right it was very uncomfortable. Other than that it was great and having the washer and dryer in bathroom. We would throw towels in after each shower. Overall experience it was great I’ve already recommended it to my friends. The view from our terrace is the best view in Hawaii especially for the fireworks on fridays. My granddaughter broke a glass so we purchased a new set and left them in the cabinet.

Property was as advertised , would consider returning. Due to my health condition, a return trip is not likely. Medical facilities and other personal services were very near and helped us make the trip tolerable

We had opportunity to visit Waikiki after visiting just last year 2022, family wedding. We stayed at Waikiki Shore then as well , so we were familiar with the condos, the building and the area. This unit was by far much more superior than the first condo we rented. It has just about everything you need for a comfortable and worry free vacation. The first day is a busy one, trying to stock up on food items. Try renting a car. ( the HUI car share is a perfect way to rent a car for a few hours..or for 24 hours and soo much cheaper than major car rentals). With a car you can shop at Safeway, Costco, Walmart or Target, all within a pretty easy drive. There are a few stores within a couple of blocks to buy food, but very high prices. There are several eating establishments within walking distance , one just down stairs (Steak Shack). The location of the building is right on the water! It is a 10 minute walk to the main Waikiki shopping and hotel area. However , this condo is located in a much less congested area and in our opinion has much better beaches, boardwalk and park areas.
All the forementioned items are great but what is most spectacular about the condo is the view from the balcony ( and room) ! Words can't describe, you must see for yourself. We have no complaints, except that it rained nearly everyday. Well it is Hawaii!
The building is very secure. The neighborhood is safe as well (but always keep your head on a swivel, right?).

We stayed four nights of our 11 night 40th anniversary trip at this rental and had a great time. It is spacious, clean, well equipped and in a fantastic location in Waikiki. The view from the balcony to the beach and over the Fort Derussy Beach Park were fantastic.
The building is on the Waikiki beach, and all of the amenities of Waikiki are within walking distance (less than a mile).
The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare meals. The bathroom had a shower, bidet and a vanity large enough to accommodate two. The living area would seat six comfortably, and the kitchenette table seats four. There is either a two headed mini-split A/C, or two mini-splits. The unit in the bedroom area worked great, but we never figured out how to get the on in the living area running (but didn't try very hard either). There is an accordion door that pulls across the space between the bedroom and living area that we employed each night. We sat out on the balcony and watched the sunset each evening, and the fireworks in front of the Hilton to the NW that are put on every Friday night.
If we ever stay in Waikiki again, we'll look up this unit, or one in the same building (Waikiki Shores).

We loved the location of Waikiki shore with its pRoximity to the beach, restaurants and shops. It’s spacious unit and well equipped. The only concern was the landlord does not respond to emails. They send automated emails but will not reply back. You must phone.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Waikiki Shore. The view was amazing and location couldn't be better. We were walking distance to great shops and restaurants. It was quiet at night, but you do get noise if there is anything happening on the beach and there was a restaurant / bar nearby that played live music. There was just a couple of things I noticed that could be improved on. There was a lack of cleaning supplies in the condo. There was a swifter but no swifter pads which if we had the wet pads it would have been helpful to clean off the patio when the birds made a mess. Also previous places I've rented from VRBO the kitchens came with basic things like sugar, salt & pepper, etc. This place did not have the extras. The only other thing was the beach chairs provided were "kid size" so for my husband who is 6'3" they didn't work so we ended up renting chairs on the beach. Overall it was good.

The “king” bed is 2 twins pushed together , so uncomfortable that my body was sore from sleeping in it. While attempting to run the dishwasher , it started leaking from the bottom , soap and all. There was no toaster on property and after texting the PM about it because it’s listed as an amenity and we had bought bagels for breakfast, we received no reply but returned to the location later that day to see a roaster passive aggressively placed in the entry way.
The last straw had to be on our last day when the homicide unit from Waikiki PD was dispatched to a possible murder two units down from us.
We messaged the PM multiple times with no reply. Just pick another property.

Everything was as described: top location, very clean and well maintained property, close to everything. The only recommendation I have is that they should probably allow people to leave their luggage before 3 pm check in. I arrived at 11:30 and had to hang on the beach with my luggage. But then had amazing time that made yo for this inconvenience. Definitely will go back again

This condo is exactly as described. We enjoyed it very much. It had all the things that you will need and perfectly located. Lots of restaurants and shopping around. It is just steps from the beach. Will definitely be coming back to this property!

The place was amazing, particularly the view and location.
I would 100% stay here again, but would note two negatives:
1) Parking was a hassle, but that is stated in the description. It would be so much better if they offered parking at the condo.
2) The condo was not that clean. There was pee on the toilet, some of the pillows/sheets/couch cushions smelled like sweat, marks on the walls, etc.
Overall, I would stay here again and the host was great at responding, but there are some things that can be improved.

Could snorkel in the morning from the beach and wander into town for dinner in the evenings. As the apartment balcony overlooked the park and beach, it was lovely to sit out there. It was also quieter than in the main part of town.

All was as described, only problem was an unreliable internet (wifi itself was good but internet was not), which did not really affect us so we did not actually call the property manager about it
