My daughter and I was looking to stay close to my other family members who had timeshare right next door at the Ilikai. So this was perfect! Upon arrival, we were unable to get in, because door code did not work, but it was quickly resolved. The kitchen had everything you may need, which we didnt end up using. The bathroom was great; long counter, big shower- more water pressure needed SUGGESTION: bigger shower head?? sink -had too strong of water pressure. The living space was perfect with so much storage space. One drawback was the bed was too soft for my daughter and I. Suggestion- mattress needs to be changed. We used the covenviences of laundry in the building, cooler, chair and body board in the condo for the beach. Overall , we would stay again, if the mattress is changed out.

The condo is located in a very advantageous position in that you can easily walk to the beach, the mall and to Waikiki The beach is about a five minute walk, same with the mall and Waikiki’s main strip to Waikiki Beach maybe 10-15 minutes. The 5th floor of the parking garage also connects easily to the floor this condo is on and charges about 35 a night. There is 15 public parking across the street as well and a local rentals from Budget and Alamo rent a car which was about 100 a day and cheaper for multiple days.In terms of communication the owners were very helpful before the stay in answering any questions and staying in contact. They also gave heads up about repairs being done to lanais during the stay and a monthly pest inspection that would occur. The on site person was also available though not really needed during the stay. In terms of the condo it is very clean and very well appointed with everything you would need. The only minus is not having a washer/dryer in the unit although their is a public laundry on the 8th floor. For taller people the shower is a little low but manageable and has good heat and water pressure. The lanai was unavailable during my stay due to repairs and is really a standing lanai that overlooks the harbor. Just FYI there is a restaurant below that plays live music that you will hear until 10 pm each night. This could be a positive or negative depending on the person and you will also hear occasional fireworks.

I stayed in this beautiful condo for six nights while I helped my son pack up and move out after 3 1/2 years of school and work in Hawaii. It was perfect! Newly renovated, this condo was clean, fully stocked and a perfect place to unwind. It’s close to everything (a five minute walk to Waikiki Beach, 15 minute walk to Ala Moana Beach), but away from the crowds. I would stay here again if I came back. Thank you!

The condo itself was very clean and all the amenities I expected. It was nice to overlook the harbor and the ocean beyond, and watch the sunset. The harbor is a busy place with people coming and going at all hours!

Once again we really enjoyed our stay at Ilikai Marina. Well located with beautiful views of the marina, magic island and Ala Moana bowls. The unit was great. Really nice that there is a sliding door that breaks the unit in two, with each side having access to the bathroom via their own entrance. Beach towels, chairs and a cooler were very useful. We’ll definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Great place to stay with a view. There are lots of restaurants across the street that I didn't discover until near the end of my vacation. Couldn't use the balcony as there were construction. Looks like long term construction going on. I wish they would put the 'Do Not Use Balcony' sign to the side, instead of in the middle of the sliding glass door blocking our view. I purchased salt, pepper, and butter to make eggs in the morning. I wish the condo had basic cooking ingredients like salt, pepper, oil for guests to use. They had all the pots, pans, and kitchen utensils to make any meal, though.

The property manger, location and unit were good. We enjoyed our time and had the basics needed for our stay. Having beach chairs was a nice touch! A few things in the unit weren't great...the mattress was broken on one side (sunk into springs, flat to boards when sitting on it), the rice cooker had no lid so we couldn't use it and the knives were so dull we couldn't cut anything. Having a full kitchen means people plan to cook/utilize it. There was a slight musty oder to the complex, yet the unit was good. The balcony wasn't what was pictured, no chairs and only two people could fit standing. The property managers were attentive and responsive, even when the building lost power for 18 hours!

We chose to stay in this condo due to location in the building and location on the beach. Things we liked about it:-right next to elevator and laundry (didn’t notice extra noise) -close walk to beach- offered two beds the main king and the pull out sofa with wall divider - stocked with all the kitchen items needed - room did have two beach umbrellas and 6 beach chairs. - communication with owner was fairly quick (when it came to things they wanted to respond to) Issued we had:- room wasn’t super clean, notified owner they did offer to send someone to re clean - room wasn’t stocked when we arrived-no extra sheets in room for sofa bed, thankfully able to get some from house keeping while they were stocking bathroom.- BALCONY PARENTS WITH LITTLE KIDDOS - the balcony railing has openings of 5.5” wide, my one year old was able to fit his head through it which was so scary. This caused a lot of anxiety. We had to keep our son off balcony as much as we could, or while we were out there we had to rearrange furniture to create a barrier so he couldn’t get to it. This caused a lot of anxiety. Code for railings is 4” wide openings. I did write the owner in regards to this and they did not respond. They definitely should put up some sort of net or something before someone gets hurt. - room didn’t have a pack n play but we did purchase one and we left it in the room in hopes another family would be able to use it. - the room did not have extra sheets in it

Great location! Short walk to the beach & to plenty of restaurants and shops. Easy walk to Ala Moana Center. Clean & stocked with everything you need, including extra towels, beach chairs, travel cooler, and even a boogie / body board. Water pressure in the shower is a little on the light side, and due to each floor having access to a trash chute, there’s often an unpleasant smell in the hallways—not the owner’s fault, and the unit itself isn’t affected. Would stay here again!

Amazing view of the marina and ocean. Location is close to Ala moana beach and mall. Wakiki is about 2 miles away. The condo has a full kitchen separated bedroom and living room has a pullout sofa bed. large sized condo, compared to other searches and resonable price.

Our condo was a corner unit with a stunning view across the marina. Nice sized kitchen, bath and bedroom which could be closed off if there are guests using the pull out sofa bed. Parking was easy, and there was lots of it available. Perfect view of the Friday night fireworks. Would definitely stay here again.

Unit was very nice and comfortable. Location was great and convenient. Building had a major power loss the night before checkout and continued past my checkout time the next day. Security locked the trash room so I could not dispose of my trash during this power outage. Also the toilet leaked from a missing lock nut for the tank which suddenly appeared my last day. Overall a good stay and would recommend the unit as mechanical problems can arise from any building and unit.

amazing location just outside of the busy part of Waikiki, great views of the marina. Very clean and well stocked. However, despite the reservation saying three people were staying there, the apartment was only set up for two. Management brought more sheets for the second bed quickly when asked, but there were only two beach towels, so we had to share. Overall a lovely stay and I would come again!

Excellent location, 10 minute walk to the beach, awesome shopping, and delicious restaurants! ABC Store located right across the street for all your necessities, snacks, drinks, and grab n go meals.
The condo had enough of everything for our family of 4, bedding, towels, beach towels. Owner included laundry detergent, dryer sheets, dishwasher pods, toilet paper, etc. These things are not commonly stocked for a whole week stay for a family of 4.
The kitchen had all the appliances, dishes and utensils you would need. There were boogie boards, a sand chair, umbrellas, beach mat, cooler, ice packs, and so much more!
The sofa bed was not very comfortable. But with a little ingenuity, we put the couch pillows under the thin mattress to give it more padding and comfort, it ended up being just fine.
The owner had timely responses to our inquires. We would definitely stay again!

The apartment has great views but is a bit rundown which doesn’t show in the pictures. We had leaky air conditioning units right from the start of our 3 week holiday. We had no air conditioning during the entire last week. The owner never apologized nor gave us any kind of compensation for us managing the numerous groups of people that tried to fix the air conditioning units. He just told us to reference the contract. All maintenance workers told us the air units had never been serviced. Also no refresh of towels or sundries during the 3 week holiday. Very disappointing experience!! DM if you want to see pictures.

Wow, this place is about as close to a true 5/5 experience as you can get. I stayed here for a week while attending a conference. It's a 12 minute walk to the conference center; a 20 minute walk from Waikiki; a 20 minute walk from Ala Moana mall--in short, this place is the definition of a "walkable" location in Honolulu. But there's more! You want to rent a car? The cheapest car rental place on the island (Island Car Rental) is based in this very building! You want to go diving? Aloha Scuba Diving moors it's boat directly across the street. Want to stay inside with friends? The hosts provide a copy of Exploding Kittens, which is always a hit. The room has an incredible view of Honolulu. And to top it all off, the toilet also has a bidet--perfect. This place almost instantly felt like home.I only had two cons for this place: Con 1) The ice machine in the freezer would not stop producing ice, even while it was overflowing resulting in ice constantly falling out of the freezer when you opened it. Yes, we tried raising the lever to stop it. No, that didn't work. Con 2) The water in the shower does not stay at a consistent temperature. It oscillates around wherever you put it, meaning that you will always be going from a little too hot to a little too cool in perpetual cycle while showering. I realize this is probably not under the owner's control, but it's worth mentioning.But don't let those cons deter you. The fact that those were the only downsides should highlight just how incredible of a place this was. If I travel back to Honolulu, I would try to get this specific place again!

Booked this place because it advertised for 4 people. We were on top of each other and had to live out of our suitcase due to lack of storage. There was no dishwasher which wasn’t a problem but they only had one dish towel. There is laundry/dryer on the floor but make sure you have money to use it. I was grateful we were only there for a weekend. This would be fine for two friends. The pillows could use pillow protectors as they were disgusting. There was blood on the mattress protector for the pull out sofa. Beds were uncomfortable and the walls/windows were really thin. It could also use a new paint job and a deep cleaning on the bathtub.

If I was asked to rate the room it would be 5 stars. The maintenance was questionable. At least one elevator didn’t work on several days. One day neither elevator worked and I needed to walk down 20 flights of stairs. The pool was fine. The jacuzzi worked for one day. The finish around the pool Was terrible gravel couldn’t walk without sandals
