I never received the instructions from the host she's said they sent them to me on an email on September 27th and then again on November 4th which neither wherever sent to my email address so I sat in front of the building for 4 hours to get into the unit and when she finally responded after I got in the unit her response was it was the weekend and That's why I couldn't get a hold of her and I could vacate the property and try to find somewhere else to stay. Had issues folding up the sofa bed The coffee table was disgusting with the fabric was falling off of it The lockbox on the door was open miscellaneous construction debris in the closet nothing in the kitchen no salt pepper no oven mitts no kitchen towels one spatula no scissors dirty dishes One of the hand towels was dirty

今回の滞在で必要なこと行動をするのに便利な立地であった。コインランドリーが同じフロアにあることも便利。部屋からの眺望も良く、金曜日の夜にはヒルトンからの花火が綺麗に見ることができた。建物は築古ではあるが、室内は綺麗に保たれており過ごしやすい環境でした。

Building is old but main problem is that it is dirty! Molded bathroom, all curtains have stains on them, drawers are full of trash from previous people …

This property is extremely dirty and not as advertised. Once you book you arent eligible for any kind of refund. They also wont work with you on this and will keep a large portion of your money. I made the mistake of booking and the a few weeks after several reviews started rolling in that made me question staying so I went to cancel and I couldnt. The building is very dated but when you walk into the unit itself its been given the landlord special - white paint over everything. The shower and tub has rust and mold built it up on it, the toilet had urine it in, the furniture is ripped up. Once you book you cant use the VRBO app to manage your reservation - you have to switch over to a app they have which is poorly done and hard to navigate. Ice maker was broken. I checked out after my first night there. The condo is marketed as renovated and somewhat luxury. I contacted them to try and work with them on fixing all this and they said they were "reviewing my issues and need some time" and I havent heard back.

Bare Bones! Needs a lot of work to compete with other condos in Ilikai Marina. It was clean except for mold around the old tub. A full set of dishes and cutlery would have helped.

Pros: The view and location were great!! Condo is older but nicely updated. Loved our stay!
Cons: 1) The ripped up pleather cubes used for coffee table need to be removed! First thing you see when you walk in the door :( Surprising since everything else in the condo is nice and updated. 2) No kitchen towels. 3) No blender to make delicious Hawaiian drinks! That was a tough one.

We liked the quieter side of Waikiki beach so we picked this area. Prior to booking I noticed there was a pool mentioned in the write up (not being available if there was construction the advertisement read) once booked I was told there was not a pool. The cancellation means they instantly take 50% if you cancel and area was good so we kept the booking. I read in reviews the pull out bed was broken in July prior and I needed it for my 6 and 7 year old girls so I asked specifically if it was replaced or still broken. I was lied to and told it was fixed. When we arrived the place wasn’t very clean with poop spray from previous guest by the toilet paper dispenser. False eyelashes on the floor and hair close to the sliding door ( not carefully cleaned) which has no bottom track so kind of dangerous for kids. It’s mentioned a number of times to be careful with it. The pull out bed was BROKEN!! We had to leave it out all day and night because it couldn’t be put away. Which made the place very small for 4 people which I asked if was ok since the place is listed as a 3 max. The dishwasher was broke and would have caused a flood I was told when I consulted a dishwasher repairman we met while visiting randomly (Uber driver haha) when I asked the property management company about these inconsistencies, the ice maker was also broke with out even a tray for making ice so plan for that, they said those amenities are not listed under the amenities. Which is true it’s not. The offered to have someone come in and look at the dishwasher but we declined as we decided to wash dishes by hand and let them do that on their own time. Oh no dish rack either. Also no bath mat so you will have to use the limited towels (pay laundry) to put down after your shower so kids don’t slip getting out. The bed was the biggest obstacle for us and since we are super hosts on another platform I have enough experience to know that they “maybe” just bent the bed back and called it fixed till the next person opened it. Only a replacement would have been a fix. I was offered 3% (not a typo) off my next visit to Hawaii as if that was payment for having a huge mattress in the middle of the room that no adult could sit on for fear of damaging it so much that it wouldn’t be fit to sleep on the next night and no couch at all since had to stay in a bed form. Ridiculous. VRBO customer support was 0 help and said I could only leave a review. No compensation at all.

As soon as we opened the door, we all gasped. It was a perfect and had everything we needed. It was surrounded by great food and the mall was an easy 15 minute walk for the last minute stuff we forgot to pack. The ABC convenience store kiddy corner from the building was also extremely helpful supplying us with food, water, gifts, towels, and floatys. If you want to rent a car, there is also an enterprise that is diagonally located from the building. We would definitely stay again. The only thing I would suggest is maybe add a pair of scissors so we’re not trying to cut through bags and tags off with knives 🙃 thank you so much for a great stay!

Pros:
This property is in a great location, right next to Waikiki beach with restaurants, stores, etc. Everything is in walking distance. Parking is connected to building which is very convenient. The interior and view were very comfortable. Detailed instructions on how to access the unit was very clear.
Cons:
Communication is via an app. The day we got to the room, the air conditioning wasn't turned on and it was difficult to figure out despite some instructions. When we called the number (very hard to find) nobody answered. By the time we figured out another number to call we figured out the A/C thank goodness. The toilet ran the entire time we were in the condo. We just kept the door closed so it wouldn't bother us while we were sleeping. We were too busy and it wasn't an nuisance enough to call it in. The room was not thoroughly cleaned, it was just picked up. Toilet was not wiped down and blanket provided for the couch was too dirty we were worried to use it. No hand towels provided for the kitchen so we used the bathroom ones. One of the drawers in the kitchen was missing (which made no difference to us). A mug was left out that we put away, but again, all things that made us weary and let us know this place was not thoroughly cleaned. Also, every night we came home we were met with roaches on the counter which was pretty gross. We never left food out and wiped down counters to try and control this, but did not make a difference. Also, the bar in the same building downstairs is loud at night and way past midnight you can hear people in the parking lot marina getting drunk. I am a deep sleeper and this woke me up in the middle of the night which was a nuisance. Rust in the bathroom tub could easily be fixed, not sure why it hasn't already been.
Overall, none of these nuisance's ruined our stay, but I would look at another unit before staying in this one again. Perhaps a higher unit and possibly a different management company.

This condo fits my needs and location is prime. I appreciate the amenities and everything is available for a comfortable stay. The only con is the AC constant changing to 85 degrees throughout the days while I'm there. I understand the setting is needed because there's no guys that it's vacant everyday so as soon as I feel it warmi g it up. I just get up to switch it back. Towels should be stocked more for a longer stay. I ended up washing the towels myself because I didn't want to call to have them. Even with those two minor cons. I would book this condo again. Thank you for providing a comfortable place for us ttavelers.

The property overlooked the harbor. Even though it was right in the middle of the city, it was surprisingly quiet at night. Everything in the condo was quite acceptable and clean.

The property managers communication was great. They kept me updated, and then when I had some trouble with the lock box, they were right there with assistance. Also, we had a few minor problems figuring out how to operate the fans, and again they were helpful right away. The location was perfect- very central to everywhere.. We were visiting family nearby, and could walk, and also easy to get to the resorts and the beach and different neighborhoods. The sunsets from the balcony were spectacular. We even got picked up right outside for an excursion to the north shore with Captain Bruce (highly recommend the sandbar tour). The place was clean and comfortable for our stay. (Still waiting for the return of the damage deposit, but I expect that won't be a problem.) Mahalo

Strategically located between Ala Moana, Kakaako and Waikiki. Room atmosphere is comfortable. Very clean. I wake up to a great view of the marina every day, and I get to see the sun set every day. The view is all expansive and I can even see the wide horizon bend a bit. Internet speed quite fast and reliable so I can work remotely or Zoom if needed with no issues. Most amenities and utensils available. And nice to have the rice cooker and coffee maker. Would be nice if they added a bread toaster though. A few options for parking, so I chose the one in the Waikiki Discovery Center one across the next block which is the cheapest at $15 overnight and quite safe and convenient.

This location is all abt the view. Amazing sunsets! I enjoyed the mid century modern furnishings. The sofa bed however was wonky...like left side of it was broken. My friend didn’t complain but it was challenging opening and closing the pull out sofa. The unit can get mighty hot and the AC was not on when we arrived so it was over 80 degrees and took a long time to cool off. If you’re someone whom likes to sleep in a cold room know it’s challenging to get the temp below 70 degrees. I did enjoy the extra get ready room, that was nice to have. And the extra closets were nice to have. The beach chairs were a good add on too.

Totally enjoyed our stay. Easy parking, close to everything. But those million dollar ocean views for the nightly rate is insane!
I would definitely recommend investing in a Nectar mattress or a high end foam density mattress and better quality pillows for better sleep. Looking forward to a good night's rest was a bit challenging. Otherwise, we'll be back! Aloha for now 🌺

We stayed about 2 weeks and loved every minute!! The kitchen was nice and seemed to have everything necessary for cooking - we just ate out. They have plenty of towels not just the bare minimum. The laundry machines were on the same floor which made it very convenient! There are beach chairs and coolers in the closest but, we chose to just rent chairs & umbrella’s on the beach. There is a company that lets you rent by the hour. We paid $25 for 2 hrs. We were more sight seeing than beach bums. You can’t beat the location unless you want to be in the middle of everything with all the crowds. You can easily walk to the mall which is only 1/2 mile away. We rented a car and still ended up walking over 57 miles over the course of the 2 weeks. You will need to keep the curtains closed in the afternoon as the sun shines in and will quickly heat up the condo but, even with them closed it’s still bright and cheerful! We had relatives staying on a different floor and their condo was so dark and depressing. The only downfall is we had to leave & come home! :-( I’m ready to book go back!!
