This location was perfect, so close to the beach and walkable to many restaurants and shops. I appreciate the dark blackout curtains in the bedroom as well The beach chairs and sand toys were a hit with my toddler! Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

The condo we stayed at has a great location with free parking to boot. We could easily walk within a 1/4 mile to access the beach, restaurants, shops and markets. The parking itself was in an attached structure to the complex and had an entry guard there 24 hours a day. The unit itself felt nice and felt clean when we started the week, and we loved that it had a balcony where we could sit out there and enjoy the views and breeze.
The issues we had were that it could get a bit noisy even with the windows and balcony door closed. We could hear revellers in the middle of the night and police and fire department at least once a day; perhaps this is normal as it is Waikiki during Easter school break. The second issue was mid-way through our stay we started to notice insects appearing in the unit, which got steadily worse in the days remaining.
Overall though, I think this is a great place to stay and would likely consider staying there again.

It’s super short walking distance to beach and excitement - always had a spot to park car which is very limited in Waikiki. The condo was clean and I felt safe. Mattresses have been covered completely with plastic cover to prevent any bed bugs. The bed was comfortable and Monique was always available when needed for questions.

Located close to the beach and shopping. Walking distance to the Zoo. On a main bus route so if you like to take public transportation to get around I would recommend. The busses will take you to Pearl Harbor as well as the airport. Bus Route 20 goes to the airport. Also, there were a few things not working in the unit such as the door to the bedroom but I am sure it can be easily fixed. I would stay there again.

The towels were thick and smelled fresh.
The beds and pillows were fluffy.
Full size fridge and freezer. Had every appliance and dish we could need.
Laundry was convenient! Bring your quarters (2.50 a wash/2.50 a dry). So worth not having to tote extra clothes.
Close to everything yet quiet.
Boys loved the pool.
Elevators worked well. Parking was convenient.
If this unit is available and you are looking GO FOR IT!!!

The place was exactly as advertised. Is in a great location.
Perfect for our family of 4 to stay.
It included everything needed for a day at the beach. Chairs, cooler, umbrella.
Monique was extremely responsive. We were even able to check in a bit early with no additional costs.

We enjoyed our stay. The place was exactly as described. Check in process was as simple as it gets. We didn’t have much contact with Monique which is a plus bc we had no issues during our stay. We did reach out to her to let her know we arrived and departed and she quickly responded.
Pluses: elevators were fast, PARKING, short wak to beach, shopping, restaurants; lots of kitchen amenities, beach chairs and umbrella and more
Negatives: if I had to list one, I would say that I wish the bed was king size vs queen, but nevertheless it was very comfortable.
We would definitely consider staying here again! Thank you again, Monique, for the hospitality!

The process from arriving to leaving was literally quite seamless. Monique's instructions were spot on. There was absolutely no trouble with parking, keys, or entry.
There were 3 things I was looking for when booking a place somewhere on Oahu: free parking, full kitchen, and pull-out bed that was bigger than a twin. Monique's place had all 3 things I needed and to top it off, the balcony was an additional bonus!
On top of the 3 things that were required for me above, the place was equipped with towels, a cooler, and beach chairs! It was great to have access to all those things as first time travelers to Hawai'i.
The location was spot on. It's literally a less than 5 minute walk to Waikiki beach + strip. I'm rather glad the condo wasn't on the strip and gave us some sense of calmness from the chaos.
The only downside to our stay was that the door separating the bedroom to the main living area could not shut so we couldn't necessarily have quiet and privacy whilst in the condo from our friends.
To summarize, I would highly recommend booking here. I believe you definitely get your money's worth. Once I come back, I would definitely stay here again!
Thanks Monique!

Everything from check in to check out was great. Monique provided clear instructions for the check in process, and the unit was ready when we arrived. We truly enjoyed our stay and hated to leave, but when it was time to go, we again had clear communication and timely responses on what was needed to be done before we checked out.

The manager was easy to reach and always replied quickly. The unit is spacious but floors were dirty so we were constantly having to wipe or wash our feet. There were dirty dishes in the cabinet and a dirty spatula with food particles in the drawer.
Other than that, it was fine. But this location, while convenient, is loud with partiers (waikiki banyan has always been a party hotel for 20 plus years) so just be warned about that. It has nothing to do with the owners of the unit.
Elevators are very slow and can take up to 10 to 15 min in the mornings because the housekeeping team for the hotel uses the same elevators as guests (freight is next to public but all mixed use).

The location is perfect. Free parking and Waikiki beach with shops and restaurants in foot distance. The appartment is well equipped and the size of the appartment is pretty good with a separate sleeping room. Only negative point is, that it is really warm and loud in the sleeping room. Also with closed window.
BUT wuld definitely recommend this appartment.

We had a great stay at this 1 BR condo with a full kitchen and balcony just a couple blocks from the beach. Bright, clean, comfortable bed, great location, parking included, with a pool and hot tub. Monique was quick to respond to questions and it was a nice place to relax after a day of sightseeing or hiking. Highly recommend Monique's place!

This was a very nice, clean and well stocked property. Everything was in working order and as described. Extra bonus was the beach supplies, a cover and chairs etc. I would recommend this property and stay here again! It was within walking distance of everything from the beach, to shopping or scooter rentals! Monique was great to commute with. I chose thus place based on all the information from prior renters and Sooo HAPPY we chose this rental. Parking was super nice too.

Monique's place was a short (less than 10 minute) and easy walk to the beach where our kids (ages 5 and 7) were able to enjoy the water safely within the confines of the lagoon. We appreciated having a parking pass since we rented a car during our stay. We were always able to find convenient parking close to the elevators in the garage. Monique also provided a closet full of beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, towels, and ice chest that we put to good use!

The location of the property is perfect - 5 min walk to the beach and close to everything to do in Waikiki. The building is a little dated, but it had everything we needed there and the location and parking included makes up for that.
Monique was very quick to respond and helped us actually extend our stay a little longer.

Great place! Very clean, with an extremely comfortable bed and well-equipped kitchen! Great location; only a short walk (a couple blocks) to the beach and a nice assortment of beach gear in the large closet (3 chairs, 3 boogie boards, blow up toys, etc.). We enjoyed it very much.

We greatly enjoyed staying at Monique's condo. Though the building itself could use some updating (mainly the hallways), her place was super cute and comfortable. We loved the location and all the amenities Monique supplied for our stay. The bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept in on a vacation! Monique was very responsive in all communication. I would highly recommend Monique's place for a stay in Waikiki.

This space rents exactly as promised. There aren’t any frills or fancy amenities, but after viewing the listing and reading the reviews, we didn’t expect anything too fancy.
First, the criticisms:
- The space is outdated and that shows in the decor and fixtures. One of the track lights above the kitchen was hanging out of its base, the toilet ran constantly unless we jiggled the handle, and the tub faucet handle fell off several times.
- The unit is clean, though there are signs of age that make it feel a bit dingy.
- The lighting throughout could definitely be improved and was especially lacking in the bedroom.
- With the windows open, there was some street noise that would wake us up in the night.
Now the positives:
- Free parking!!!
Monique was AMAZING to work with. We didn’t have any issues during our trip, just a couple of questions, and she was super quick at responding.
- As stated before, the unit was cleaned nicely when we arrived. There is a full-size broom on the lanai and a small broom and dustpan under the bathroom sink for sweeping up during the stay. (We found we were bringing in quite a bit of sand after each beach trip.)
- There was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, and facial tissue, as well as some aluminum foil and cling wrap.
- The unit was outfitted well with cookware, plates, bowls, utensils, etc. There were even food storage containers for leftovers. We were able to prepare meals without wishing we had a different pot or pan or cooking utensil.
- There was a good variety of pillows, so everyone was able to find one that suited them.
- It was nice to have beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrellas provided.
- The linens were very clean, bright, soft, and smelled nice.
- During our stay, there was a spice rack with plenty of spices to choose from as well as a couple of extras in the cupboard.
- It was nice to be a short walk from Waikiki beach, which ended up being one of our favorite beaches we visited during the trip.
Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives, and our stay was very enjoyable.

We stay here for 13 days. It was amazing! Loved this place! The add was accurate with every aspect! The location was the BEST - 1 block to the beach!! Parking included and we could always find a spot!! Beach chairs, cooler, water toys, umbrella - all there! We found a printer in the coffee cafe ($.40 per copy) downstairs to print up boarding passes. Owner was very responsive. We would definitely stay there again! The only thing, maybe add a 3 ring binder with information about good restaurants that you recommend, coffee shop downstairs with printer, how to sign up for the barbeque rental, some good snorkling areas, etc.

we loved the place, it was clean and even though it was a little dated, it was very clean. great location, only one block from the beach. it had beach chairs, cooler, beach umbrella that we could use. the elevators were slow in the building, sometimes we had to wait for 10-15 min before we could get on. the grills were closed, but the kitchen had everything we needed. will stay here again!

This condo is in a great location. It was perfect to bring back takeout dinner because restaurants are still not open to full capacity. It was clean and the owner responds very quickly. Would definitely return.
