Great place to stay in Waikiki! Location is perfect for beach, bus, Waikiki market, International Market place and restaurants. Very clean and great views. Kitchen is very functional and bed is very comfortable. Worked well for our month stay.

Property was just a bit smaller than anticipated. The king bed mattress was uncomfortable as it sagged to the middle. Perhaps it's time for a replacement?

The unit was clean. Located 2 blocks off of the beach. Shopping and a multitude of culturally diverse restaurants in easy walking distance.

Place was clean and spacious for the little time we spent in it. The pool was nice to cool off in before bed. Beds were comfortable. It was nice to have a kitchen. Views were beautiful! There are no locks on any inside doors so private moments (showering, toilet, intimacy) were difficult. Parking height is only 6'2" so the car we rented didn’t fit in the garage. Parking each night was a nightmare and really put a damper on things at the end of everyday. We tried switching our rental to a shorter van but nothing was available. This would have been good information to have been given before we decided to rent. Also, small things like garbage liners that actually fit the kitchen garbage can would have made things nicer.

In town for a holiday wedding and wanted a place near the beach and restaurants within walking distance. We his condo fit the bill. We loved the price and location. Very clean, safe and communication with the manager was al aye spot on. Two small drawbacks; the living room/dining room furniture needs updated. It’s not comfortable for four people to sit at the same time. There are two separate bathrooms but only one toilet. The second bathroom is a large oversized shower and vanity. This was only an issue in the mornings when everyone was trying to get ready. Overall, we were very satisfied.

This condo is placed perfectly! Couple of blocks from the beach, minutes from tons of food options and the Blue Ocean that is right across the street is top shelf! Our host was outstanding, our original booking had an issue from the previous guest (damage) and they upgraded us and took care of us.
We will definitely book with them again next time we are on the island!

The rental was exactly as advertised. Nice and close to everything including the beach. Some things that were not advertised were the backpack beach chairs and beach accessories, which was awesome. Very easy transaction.

I worked remotely here for a month in October and couldn't have had a better experience. The place is so beautiful and clean and has an amazing ocean view. The location is prime. It's two blocks from the ocean, next to some great restaurants, a few blocks form the grocery and even has the best surf shop with $10 rentals on the way to the water. I couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Vincent (the property manager) was super helpful and took care of the few issues that popped up. I appreciated the tiled area (with a drain) just outside the actual shower for drying off and for hanging wet stuff. The kitchen has all the basic supplies. No oven, but the microwave can work as a convection oven. The apartment was mostly clean. It had a bit of a lingering smoke smell, probably from the previous renter, but it got better over time. We had a nice view of the ocean from the lanai, including seeing the surfers at Queens and Canoes. The security guards in the building are really nice people.

Fantastic condo with all the amenities and I mean all! Loved the location and the view with a very bright and cheery atmosphere. It is extremely well equipped including enough beach chairs for a large family, beach toys, umbrellas, snorkelling equipment, etc. Well stocked with beach towels, bath towels and linens. We have stayed in many VRBO's and this condo is absolutely awesome. Jane was excellent and answered all of our questions. An absolutely fantastic host. We would definitely stay here again!!

The photos do a good job of capturing the space, it really looks that beautiful. What's not captured is the convenience of parking, the friendliness of the residents and fellow visitors, the low key approach of the property management, and the feeling that you are home which was welcome to me as I needed the respite. Thank you for sharing this space for a while.

Staff first - Between Vincent and Paul, I believe both gentlemen did what they could to ensure we felt comfortable with our stay and we were properly informed of the basics. Both were very pleasant to work with. On days we experienced major issues, Vincent did what he could to assist to remediate said issues.As for the unit. It's in an amazing location, and amazing view of the ocean. Everything is just within walking distance. The breeze is almost continuous. Just about everything we needed was there. However, the unit is in need of TLC.What we weren't a fan of:1. The unit was not thoroughly cleaned. Floors were visibly clean but sticky in the entire unit. Walking around barefoot lad to black sticky feet - We cleaned/scrubbed it ourselves. On the lanai, there were plenty of shards of broken glass beneath the granite table. Chairs in the Lanai need a serious wash.2. Issues with door being too stiff and needing weatherproofing. Close it and you can hear the wind whirring. Key also broke during the first day. Paul came to the rescue!3. Cascading issues from water main on the street ultimately led to plumbing issues (no water in bathroom sink) and A/C issues. A/C broke for almost a week during the hottest days. When it supposedly got fixed, it leaked like a waterfall in the middle of the night (I sent videos to the manager). I ended up buying an electric fan to get by.4. Sliding door needs to be fixed. It constantly gets stuck 5. Cables for TV/WiFi in the bedroom is a mess. At least tuck it away or hide it. It's an eyesore.6. Cockroaches. I know were on an island...but it's an issue when they start showing themselves near the sink in the middle of the night. An indicator that the unit isn't being cleaned thoroughly.I simply wanted to provide transparency on the need to improve the condition of the unit including its cleanliness. It's in a prime spot. I wouldn't recommend the unit to fr

Waking up in the heart of Waikiki, falling asleep safe and sound and spending the day in the big city among skyscrapers and high rises, adventuring the beach walk, enjoying the sun and swimming with my daughters, this is a summer we’ll never forget! Coming from Alaska to Honolulu: Amaxing, once in a lifetime opportunity to live as Hawaiian’s do!

The apartment was exactly as advertised. The owners provided everything, including beach equipment and towels. They dealt promptly with one problem we encountered, bringing us dragon fruit from their own garden as well. The kitchen was well stocked which allowed us to cook and relax after a day at Waikiki beach, a short 3 blocks away. We would recommend this 3 bedroom apartment to our closest friends and family. Thank you Jane!

Our accommodation was just okay, and far too costly for the poor management communication and amenities offered. From the time of reservation, we received a series of emails with disjointed and fragmented instructions listing only a portion of the information needed to make our stay more comfortable. We were emailed three separate times to confirm exact check in time and submitted our information several times in provided links/forms/portals. The same occurred during check out. Additionally, we received strange texts near the end of our stay trying to correct a guest’s behavior through apparent real-time camera monitoring? Very poor communication from beginning to end.
Next, the A/C situation was quite poor. There was a small A/C unit in one room, and even with the doors open all day long, the other rooms were sweltering.
Lastly, the apartment is in need of a good cleaning. The floors were quite dirty, and the couches in the common area were old and dirty.
The location was convenient for Waikiki and the view from the apartment was nice.
Overall though, we expected more for the price.

Our stay was really wonderful! Jane’s place has everything you could need from beach towels and chairs to snorkels, umbrellas and sand toys. She even had a stroller, high chair, and pack and play available which was perfect as we were traveling with our 1.5 year old. The views and location were great and we enjoyed the easy access to restaurants and the beach while not being directly in the heart of Waikiki. Communication with Jane was easy and fast and she was more than accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

The view from the master bedroom is amazing. Lots of traffic noise and sirens from police vehicles. Very old condo that is in need of some love. Stove is in ruff shape. It served our purpose and in no way effected our vacation in a negative way. Short walk to Waikiki, maybe 5 minutes.

Loved the location! Perfect to do everything by foot. Super beaches all over, walking distance. Super parks as well. Absolutely loved exploring Waikiki and Honolulu! The place is good for 1-2 people- very small, but perfect really for working remotely and vacation. As per cleanliness, the place needs a major spring cleaning. It had been cleaned, but not thoroughly. You can see the dirt under kitchen cabinets and appliances. And walls could use a wash. Biggest downside: the roaches, in the kitchen. Not good. Checking in a bit complicated having to call the tenant ahead of time to meet. He was not very knowledgeable of the place or any info for that matter. Also fire alarm went off twice in a few days, once later at night, 2nd lunchtime. Not a super management of the situation on the first one, the guy managing the building would not talk to us and clearly state that it was a false alarm, we were left to ourselves. 2nd time well taken charge of telling us clearly and repeatedly that it was false alarm. A bit anxious for many days/nights that it would ring again. Stayed in other condos during my stay which were cleaner and no bugs. Makes the difference. But yes would come back again.

The condo was clean and very spacious. There was plenty of room for 5 of us to stay. You can see Waikiki beach from the condo and it is just a short walk to get there. Check in was easy and the owner checked in with us during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

It is a good location with a great view and only a couple blocks to the beach which is perfect if you just want to walk there or to the shops. The place is pretty worn and dated though. It is right on the main street, so it is loud all night and there are a lot of homeless people that will sleep outside.

A great place for 2 people. Great location. Close to everything but set back enough to get out of the busyness. Well equipped kitchen but a foodie might want more. Comfortable bed and a great bathroom design that makes the most out of a small space. Could use a new sofa. Captain Cook is very easy to deal with especially Vincent.

Overall very satisfactory. On arrival we could not get into the building and there was no one to greet us. As well maintenance of our unit seems to have been neglected for sometime. Leaking toilet; missing stopper in bathroom sink; loose cabinet doors; loose chair feet; closet door out of rails; burned out lights etc. Also some equipment missing or needing replacement ie. laundry basket; broom; pillows for sundeck chairs; useable cooking pot. Most of these problems were resolved to our satisfaction.
