The room was very clean and had everything we needed for our 20 day stay. The coffee machine is a small one so we needed small filters but thankfully, there were some in the cabinet.

Nice size and layout. Located in a good area. Unit beds were very comfortable. Master bath/shower needs updating its in bad shape. Headboard for twin bed was not attached to bed and banged on wall every time my grandson got on or off the bed. Jeanie was very responsive to things that came up

Unfortunately, the condition of the unit did not match the listing, which advertises “high-end renovations,” a “luxury suite,” and a “5-star retreat.” We paid a premium expecting that level of high quality. When we arrived, a blanket was already draped over the couch. After removing it, we discovered visible ground-in dirt and staining, particularly along the edges of the seating surfaces, armrests, sides, and corners. The couch appeared to need replacement, and we were uncomfortable sitting on it without keeping a blanket over it for the remainder of our stay. The accent chair also had stains, an unknown residue on the upholstery, and fraying fabric. The area rug had curled corners that created a tripping hazard and had visible ground-in dirt throughout. The sofa bed was sagging, with deep creases and bends in the padding that made it feel and appear heavily worn. The curtains were hanging improperly because the hooks were loose or missing, one of the sliding room divider doors was jammed and difficult to operate so we had to walk the long way around to exit the bedroom, also visible discoloration/mildew around parts of the shower and tile, the soap dispenser was cracked, and a trim piece on the top of the refrigerator repeatedly fell off. We also found leftover opened milk in the refrigerator from a previous guest. The only resolution offered was that we leave early and receive a partial refund for the unused nights, excluding any fees and taxes.

It was fine. I get the pidgins comeTo poop on the lanai but 3-4 owls on the lanai and a sensor fan seemed a bit much. Especially since they still came to visit as soon as we sat out there with food. Hahaha. Maybe swap out the owls for snakes or move them about. It would have been helpful to let us know it was in the towers with the main hotel. We walked around a bit (first time went to the condo section across the street as that’s where we were last time with a Vrbo) then got into the elevators that required a room key then had to go to the front desk to ask where were were. She had to read the email and since she knew 1402 was in that building she could help us. So maybe just a clarification on the check in email that has your code. Other than that it was fine. Like the description said it’s minimally supplied. The chart house has a great happy hour

No complaints. The place was exactly as described. Balcony was very nice- used often with great view of the beach and water. Very clean and stocked with everything I needed. Loved that there were beach chairs, umbrella and beach towels. Bed was very comfortable and the AC worked very well. The property itself is very nice. Nice laundry room right down the hall (fast machines). Great staff and decent bar and restaurant. Location is great, if you want to be in Waikiki. There are some good little places across the street for more casual dining if you want to save some money.Property manager/ owner was very responsive through the whole process, and while there. I will definitely use again !

The room was a nice size with a good view of the marina. The bed was clean and comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom floors were badly dinged and scratched, the carpet was dirty with obvious marks and stains. The couch was very scratchy fabric. The door trim was splintered in places. The bathroom faucets looked okd, but did not leak. The shower knob was separating from the wall. The soap bottle was empty, Other items ie cooking oil, dish soap, coffee supplies, were also out. I immediately called and spoke to a representative to have the items replenished, but they never came. it was disappointing to not have things that were advertised in place and not have the complaint responded too.

Be sure to read the provided cheat sheet! Good suggestions on food and groceries. TV is lacking instructions and without your own streaming account there is nothing on.

We booked this property for the view and short walk to the beach. The view is amazing. You can sit on balcony and view the lagoon and ocean below. It is a five minutes walk to the beach. 5 min walk to the marina where the boat pick us up for turtle snorkeling tour. This property location is very convenient. Restaurant, mall, food truck, etc all within walking distance. Property is nicely remodel, very modern looking. We stay 7 nights. We definitely would rent this unit again.

Room was very clean, had a full kitchen and pots pans and utensils, a beach cooler and snorkeling gear and boogie board. Host included a box of chocolate and ice cold water!Shower had hot water and fresh towels for home and also beach towels and beach toys for the kids. Slept 4 comfortably and a great view of the ocean. Two pools and places to eat and a good coffee shop and convenience store in the hotel. Easy communication with host, and made sure I was happy with everything. I recommend this location, this host and wouldn’t hesitate to rent this condo again. Thanks for a great experience Arvis!

We loved staying in this 2 bedroom unit. It was convenient to the beach, had reasonable public paid parking behind the building, and was close to quite a few restaurants but not the extremely busy part of Waikiki. Having the beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, and boogie boards was an added bonus! There was also an umbrella but we didn't use it. The beds were comfy and the balcony's offered stunning views. I would definitely stay here again!

Overall, we had an amazing stay and a fantastic week in Honolulu. We were traveling with seven people, so instead of booking three hotel rooms, we opted for this three-bedroom condo. Even at around 10,000 for the week with fees, it made sense for our family and gave us the space we needed.The biggest highlight is the location. This is our favorite part of Waikiki. If you’re looking to be in the heart of the hustle and bustle near the Duke Kahanamoku statue, this isn’t the spot. It’s about a 20–30 minute walk, but we actually preferred the quieter setting.The unit itself is very spacious. Having three bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a large living area made a huge difference, especially with kids. The balcony is absolutely incredible—massive, with breathtaking views. We enjoyed coffee there every morning and cocktails at sunset every evening. The Friday night Hilton fireworks were literally right in front of us, giving us a front-row seat from the balcony. We also loved the daily rainbow views. The unit was well-stocked with beach gear, and communication from the host was excellent throughout our stay.That said, there are a few areas that could use attention. The listing photos make the condo appear much newer than it is. In reality, it’s quite dated. There was chipped furniture inside, damaged furniture on the balcony, and the living room drapes were partially hanging off

Everything was wonderful! The condo had everything we needed for our 12 day stay. The kitchen was well equipped as were the linen closets. A laundry room was close by if needed. The furniture was comfortable and beautiful. The lanai views were fabulous! facing the ocean , lagoon, and marina. We often sat out there drinking our morning coffee and watching surfers, para-sailors, and sailboats go by. Bus stops were within easy walking distance if you haven't rented a car. The decor was beautiful and appropriate for Hawaiian life. The two bedrooms were a nice benefit for us and our son and daughter-in-law who came with us. This was so much better than renting 2 hotel rooms!We highly recommend this beautiful this lovely property.

Ilikai 1239 stay is great we would stay here again. Property views were beyond described marina view, sunset view, beach view and airplanes flying from the airport. Located away from the city congestion. Host is great helping me in the room, not familiar with new technology locks. Empire steak house is great go for happy hour and bar menus good portions, Daves ice cream is the best. Abc store and Mcdonalds have special menus. Room is clean, has separate AC each room. A floor tile in the master is a bit loose, wobbly informed Vincent. Water shut off notice for pipe maintenance on our last day good thing we are checking out. Bed in the guest bedroom moves. Elevators can be crowded take bather’s elevator.

The photos show you exactly what you're getting - lots of space, two lanais, and an AMAZING view and location. We watched sting rays and sea turtles swimming in the marina right off of our lanai and I defy you to find a better view of Friday night fireworks. We ended up using valet parking for 45/night which was pretty easy. 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on Waikiki was exactly what we needed for a relaxing vacation - book this condo. You won't regret it.

We had a great stay in Waikiki! The condo had everything we needed and was clean.

We could even see the ocean from the bed!

The view is absolutely amazing, 10/10.Communications were very good. As for the not so good - The main problem I had was with the cockroaches. They were an issue in the entire building but I saw them daily in this condo. The living area throw rug was dirty, and the baseboards need to be painted. Poor air conditioning in main bedroom. This is truly a beautiful unit but these listed issues need to be addressed.

The views were exceptional. You could see the ocean and the lagoon from the balcony. There is plenty of shopping in the area. Unfortunately, there was a Louis Vuitton store located in the village (smile). Joanne greated us cheerfully when we arrived, showed us the condominium and was there in the event we had any issues, which we did not. The condo was very comfortable. There is a pretty well stocked convenient store in the lobby, so you can easily buy food, ice cream, drinks etc. on the way to the condo. The valet service was very good, which is not always the case. The experience was A!

If you are looking for walkable accommodations close to the beach, restaurants, and activities, this is the place for you. If you have issues with heights, this is not the place for you. There are balconies on both sides of this unit located on the 16th floor. It is high, but you get decent views of the city. Having cooking facilities with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms was important to us since we were traveling with our teenage sons. We were able to cook breakfast each day before heading out for the sites. The cooler and beach umbrella provided by the host were nice amenities to keep us at the beach all day.

Expectations were met during our 6 night stay (2 adults, 2 kids). Unit is very functional, uncluttered and relatively modern. A/C works very well. Loved hanging out in the unit between outside activities. Good line-up of beach-loaner stuff too. The building/grounds are out of time-capsule of sort, but for those old enough to remember the good-ole-days, it’s a characteristic we enjoyed.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and there were several highlights. The location was excellent, with easy access to Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, and Hanauma Bay. The views from the unit were beautiful, and we loved having the ice cream shop in the lobby. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, salt, and pepper, which made preparing meals convenient.There were, however, a few downsides. The unit was much noisier than expected due to the many windows, doors, thin walls, street traffic, loud music, and frequent emergency vehicles, especially in the evenings. With small children, this made sleeping difficult. The listing mentions two beds that can be pushed together, but they easily slide apart and don't function well as a king bed. The queen mattress was heavily worn with deep indentations and a raised center, and the mattress protector had noticeable stains. We also couldn't get the TV to connect to cable, though that wasn't a major issue.We wish we'd known there were books and games stored in the TV stand before our last day. The elevator was out of service for our entire stay, forcing us to carry a stroller up and down two flights of stairs daily. We also witnessed an older gentleman with a walker fall on the narrow escalator, and there appeared to be little assistance provided. There were no ADA ramps. Parking was very expensive, at 45/day and valet service was slow. Overall, the views and location were wonderful, but the price felt high considering these issues.

The property definitely needs some updating, but was fine for a short stay. The bed was very firm and the sofa wasn't comfortable. The view was amazing, but the patio gets really hot in the afternoon. We couldn't sit out and enjoy the sunsets because it was too hot with the full sun hitting the patio. The patio was great in the morning. The kitchen cabinets didn't fully open and some didn't close completely. They did have great knives and a few pans for cooking. Location was great for walking to most everywhere and Ubers were easy and accessible.
