This property was perfect for me. It was clean and owners were very receptive to questions. The location couldn’t have been better. You can walk to almost anything from the unit. Thank you for a great vacation!

I am a local resident with no space at my shared studio apartment for guests. So when my mother said she would like to come for a six weeks visit l had to look for somewhere special. As an area resident l know the Iilikai is a great location. And the unit as listed seemed to have all the features and amenities we would need. What l was hoping for was a good bed for mum and a comfortable sofa bed for me. I as well was looking for a usable kitchen well supplied with all you would need to prepare and eat most of our meals in. A clean and accessible bothroom. And finally a lani setup for dinning.
The unit more than met my expectations. The unit has clearly been renovated. The soaf bed was more than comfortable. Mum slept very soundly in the king sized bed. The wardrobe provided more than enough space for our clothing. Both the kitchen and bathroom were amply supplied. We able to eat breakfast and dinners on the lani. As to the lani view it was both an enchanting lagoon/ocean view and an endlessly interesting view of much of the Hilton Hawaiian Village resort. It was even fun to look down and see the early morning swimmers in the Ilikai pool. The Friday fireworks view was not total but still very good.
All in all l am glad l selected this unit. Recently renovated, well supplied, clean, uncluttered and above all comfortable.

My husband, daughter and I had a wonderful experience at the condo! It was spotless, perfectly decorated and the view from the lanai was simply amazing. We were visiting Hawaii for the first time from the East Coast and bringing our daughter to start her college journey on the island. Our 5 night stay here made this such an enjoyable experience as a family as well as the kickoff for us, during the final two days, as empty nesters. Christine was so awesome and answered all our questions quickly. She even shared a few recommendations for car rentals and excursions. We were pleased with every aspect of our stay and will definitely book with Christine again when we return to visit our new college freshman!

The views were incredible and we even caught the fireworks display. Easy walk to the beach (downstairs), to dining or delicious locally made ice cream! The valet service makes parking a breeze (additional cost) - they were fast with great service, even when busy. The condo was as described, in great shape and had everything we needed!

Location, location, location. Everything posted in the VRBO posting is accurate as described but what we didn’t fully appreciate is just how great a location this apartment is in. It’s in close walking distance (5-15 min) of so many excellent restaurants, the beach, shopping and bus transportation and bus tour pickup stops. You can get around easily on The Bus to see so many local attractions. Ilikai’s heated, salt water pool is also a real treat. The owner, Christine, is most gracious and helpful. The kitchen was sufficient so we could cook breakfast and many of our dinner meals and enjoy eating on the lanai with its great view of the ocean and lagoon. We would highly recommend it for those who want a quality location in Waikiki at a reasonable price.

Thank you to Christine and Mark for having such an outstanding property available! I was lucky to find it had my dates available when I started looking. I would definitely stay again if the current 30 day policy allows for shorter stays in the future. Meanwhile I’m confident other vacationers will find it as special as I did.

The condo is exactly as described, super clean and has amazing views! We thoroughly enjoyed the pools, srestaurants and shops on the property. It’s also within walking distance of many other restaurants/shops. We had an amazing view of the Hilton’s Friday night fireworks directly from the condo’s lanai. Highly recommend renting Christine’s condo!

I wish I could attach pictures because it truly was as pictured. My wife and I celebrated our honeymoon this past week here, and while we are sad to be home, we have loads of memories and pictures from Mark and Christine's wonderful condo!
The place was clean as a whistle, views were great. Bed was a bit firm, which we initially were cautious of (we are soft mattress folks), but were shocked at how comfortable it was! There's so much to do in the area, within walking distance. View was great. Porch was clean, everything was clean and updated.
And lastly, Mark and Christine were as responsive as ever, answered a few questions we had almost instantly.
We plan to revisit some day, and probably will be staying here again!
With full and heavy hearts, Mahalo!!!

The booking, checkin, checkout and communication was seamless. The apartment was super clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was there to use (kitchen items, umbrellas, beach chairs, etc). The view is excellent and a perfect spot for the Friday night fireworks. I like that this building is at the beginning of Waikiki so it’s a little easier to get in and out of Waikiki without dealing with all the traffic. The only negative thing I can say is it was a little noisy on the weekend. The way the building is positioned, the noise from the lot down below funnels up into the unit…but that’s just an issue with Waikiki.

The property is as advertised. The view is awesome and it overlooks the section of beach where they launch the fireworks every Friday evening. Wonderful sea-breeze when the lanai door is open.
We would book again without hesitation .

The room was beautiful, clean, and spacious with an amazing view! I was traveling to Hawaii with my mother who is in her 80s. I wanted some place that would be near everything so she would be able to enjoy Hawaii. I also wanted a place that would be comfortable if she decided to stay in. This place was perfect! The bed was very comfortable. The view from the balcony is even better than in the picture. I highly recommend this unit!

The view is amazing. You get a pretty good view of the Friday night fireworks. The suite has been updated beautifully. The cupboards are very well stocked with dishes. The only thing we found challenging was that there was no room for food because there’s so many dishes. If you decide on this property you won’t be disappointed.

The condo was perfect, really. Clean, well stocked, convenient. Loved sitting on the patio. Beautiful view. Extremely pleased with value for money. Don't hesitate to book. The lagoon was icing on the top. Wonderful.
Parking above Red Lobster saved a lot on per day parking and less than a block away.
My only complaint would be the bed. Very firm. Not to my liking but that is a personal opinion and not reflective of any oversight by the owner. Even still, I would definitely stay here again.
Five star for sure.

Everything was perfect. Location, apartment, facilities. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t supplied. Bed was firm & comfortable which we loved. Wifi was strong. Fireworks on a Friday night from balcony was fantastic. Walking distance to restaurants, ABC stores, McDonalds, ice cream parlour. Will definitely be back. Thanks

This condo was clean and well stocked and in the center of things. We rented a car and vallet was $35 a day. They were great but I don’t think I would rent a car again because it looks like you can Uber everywhere. Or take a trolley.

This condo is the perfect location for anything you want to do on the island....beach just a 5 minute walk, you can view the Friday night fireworks from the balcony, close to fishing, hiking, walking, shopping, dining, etc etc. The condo is equipped with kitchen items if you feel like cooking and a full size fridge is the best, also an in room safe to use. Christine was so easy to communicate with and extremely helpful, she even allowed us to check in 2 hours early as our flight was early so we didn't have to drive around with luggage in the car! We highly recommend this condo and would stay here again!!

Thank you Angie for a great experience! The room was actually better than the pictures. I have stayed in many different condos at the Ilikai for both work and vacations and this might be my favorite unit. I couldn`t find a thing wrong. My next trip back I would`nt have any issue with rebooking.

This vacation could not have been better. The views from the porch were unbelievable and the place was very clean and organized with labels and it was very super comfortable. The beach is only about a 5 minute walk, and several great places to eat and a very large mall were also within walking distance. Will definitely try to stay here again!!

Our go-to place to stay in Oahu! Great views, beautiful accommodations, and close to many popular eateries. Not located directly on the Waikiki strip, so it provides the balance of seclusion from the hustle and bustle of the crowds while still being steps away from the beach and less than a mile from the strip.

After touring the island and Waikiki specifically we couldn’t have chosen a better location for what we wanted. Close to everything, but not so close you can’t relax.
We had a small problem upon arrival, but it was swiftly taken of which gives you gives you great confidence that this is the right place. We would definitely stay here again.

Mark and Christine were very easy to work with!

Our previous visits having been excellent, we returned to 1916 this year. We really do appreciate the cleanliness of the condo upon arrival. One thing we like about this unit is the amount of information provided both before and at the condo. Could not think of a question we had that wasn't answered ahead of time. In the past we have not had any issues. This visit we did. One good thing about the internet router going bad was that we got to meet Mark. The other good thing was how quickly he responded and dealt with this issue.
We have already booked our visit for next year. We will continue to stay in 1916 every time we can.
Mahalo Mark and Chrsitine!

View of the lagoon and ocean was fantastic from the balcony. Very easy to check in and get to locations both within walking distance and driving. Valet parking was worth it - staff was extremely courteous and efficient. Very nice shops within the building to pick up items or get an after meal ice cream.
Luis V.
January 2022
Listing is as shown, great Oceanview! Small studio condo was perfect for beach access. Valet @$28 a day vs $24 in parking lot behind hotel was worth not having a long walk. Very thoughtful guest leaves some room goodies and provides towels and beach mats. Spectrum appointment was scheduled for wifi issue, but declined. Many instructions made the stay a bit overwhelming but overall great stay for the price. Will stay again.

November 2021
The location is perfect and the view is outstanding! We enjoyed the lanai and rather than using the AC, we kept the doors open when we were there so we could listen to the ocean- especially nice to fall asleep at night. When leaving, we would close the drapes to keep the room cool.
The location is great, as it is an easy walk to beaches parks, shopping & dining.
Highly recommend!

The property was great I can not recommend it enough. We spent each morning out on the balcony watching the waves come in and all the surfers. The location is great as it is a short walk to some amazing restaurants, including the World Famous Duke’s and Vintage Island Coffee and Shave Ice. We also enjoyed the ice cream shop located on the first floor almost nightly especially $2 Tuesday’s. The valet service at the hotel was well worth $28 a day as even when they were busy the car came out very quickly.

We really enjoyed our 6 night stay at the Ilikai. It was easy to get to from the airport and location is great for walking the beach. We didn’t need a car rental, found everything we needed within walking distance. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking needs. Condo is very clean, bed and pillows comfortable, nice shower.
The view from the balcony was our highlight, enjoyed many evenings watching the lagoon, ocean, surfers and sailboats. Communication was excellent with Mark. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying at this property!

September 2021
We stayed in Mark and Christine's condo for our 25th anniversary celebration. I had done a ton of research before finally selecting this condo and it was everything we hoped for. The Ilikai is a nice building in a great location. It is right next door to the Hilton Hawaiian Village and it was great being able to take advantage of all of their amenities (beachside restaurants, use of the lagoon, and we even watched part of the luau from the lagoon). The condo was clean and had everything we needed - big comfy bed, spacious lanai with a gorgeous view, and it was very quiet on the 19th floor. The only negative I can think of is that I would have loved for beach chairs and an umbrella to be provided, but we were able to rent them from a rental place on the beach so that wasn't a big deal. It was a perfect vacation and we were thrilled with this condo. Highly recommend. Thank you, Mark and Christine!

This is our first time to Hawaii.
The location of this VRBO in the Ilikai Hotel was fantastic! Took surfing lessons just steps away from the condo. Waikiki Tour bus picked us up just a few feet from hotel entrance to tour Pearl Harbor. Many shops and activities walking distance away. Could not have had a better experience! Mahlo!

August 2021
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ilikai. The view was amazing and the condo had everything we needed. We were moving our daughter to UH Manoa, so she slept the 1st couple of nights on the futon. It’s ok for 1 person, but pretty firm.
The hotel amenities were great (pool, shops, etc.), but it should be noted that restaurant was closed and outdoor bar only open Thurs - Sunday due to covid. I would recommend planning your dinners ahead with reservations (especially on weekends) as staffing at most places is light this summer.
We were a little concerned about parking as we did have a rental car, but the parking service was worth the extra money. We paid ahead on the 1st day for the week. It was so convenient and the staff was very professional and efficient.
Trip highlights - we highly recommend snorkeling at Hanauma Bay Wed-Sun with 2 day advance reservations and Climb Works zip line on North Shore.
Thanks for a great stay!

My wife and I recently spent at amazing 10 days at this beautiful and well equipped condo. The owners took the time to promptly answer every question and concern we asked, thank you Mark and Christine. The residence was very nice, clean, and was stocked with all of the kitchen utensils and beach gear that we needed during our stay there as we celebrated our wedding and honeymoon. The staff at the Ilikai were also very helpful with whatever we asked of them. Located at the west end of Waikiki Beach, the area offers plenty to do, beach, shopping, and restaurants all within walking distance. The views of the ocean and Diamond Head were amazing from the lanai. We had an amazing and unforgettable time and look forward to the opportunity to return to this beautiful area again in the future.
March 2020
Not my first stay at the iconic Ilikai but definitely one of my best. The suite was perfect in every way. We had one of our best Waikiki stays here and will definitely try and rent this suite again. The view of the ocean and the lagoon are fantastic. If this is your first stay in Waikiki you couldn't ask for a better more central location. The fact that every tour operator picks up right infront of the Ilikai is a big bonus not to mention the proximity to Ala Moana Mall and walking distance to everything. Mahalo! Until next time, thank you Mark and Christine.
