This is an older property that could use a little TLC, but the location is great. Amenities in the unit are minimal and space is a little cramped, but for our purposes, it worked just fine. Close to the beach, shopping, bus lines, etc.

Excellent location! Walking distance to many shops, restaurants and the beach! Perfect little coffee shop downstairs called the “The Coffee Window” for morning gazing on your lanai! Would definitely come back!

This room and property fit the bill. Daily rate was discounted due to exterior painting and pool renovations. Less than 3 blocks to beach. Balcony had unobstructed views of ocean. Will stay here again

Leaving today after a 9 day stay. Description was accurate. Of course the waybpictures are taken makesnthebplace look larger nut was still great fro 2 people.Location was pretty much in the center of Waikiki.Only negatives were the tv..whether it be the wifi modemn or what. It would pause quite frequently.And second was the AC. They need a new one. It was hard at times to stay coll and it sits right by the bed so it will blow on you all night. Otherwise we would have rated the place a 5.

We never got into the condo. The key code didn't work. After a call to Lei Realty, we received an email the next day telling us the condo owner no longer wanted to rent it out. The real problem was the lack of advance notice, we already arrived in Honolulu, it was almost midnight,. We had to just check into a place next door, then find another place for the stay.

Older building and our unit could use some updates . Had to call about the tub faucet that was almost impossible to operate, and a handyman was dispatched to fix the issue. Hard to believe no one else before us ( or even the cleaner) experienced or reported this. Safe needed batteries, and the AC remote probably did as well as it didn’t work. Too bad things aren’t checked before new tenants arrive. Could use a few more kitchen utensils ie strainer, kettle, smaller paring knife etc. but I suppose not all people do much cooking at home. I had asked before arriving if there were salt,pepper etc and was told yes, but there was nothing at all. All in all had fantastic views but was not told before hand the rooftop pool would not be open …may have changed our minds if we had known before cancellation deadline.

The property is as pictured, we very much enjoyed the large balcony and ample space in the unit for our needs. The location is ideal with restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores all within a block or two (and of course the beach). Owner was great to communicate with and we had no issues at all.

Location is excellent and the unit provided all of our needs. It is in need of some.updating. it could use a complete paint job and the bathtub refinished as some enamel is chipped and rusting. There is a grocery market only two blocks away. Only real downside which cannot be controled by thenowner is that everytime we opened the balcony doors there was always a smell of someone on their deck.smoking weed.

Check in was a super smooth process, room was clean and functioned perfectly for our needs. It was great to have access to a refrigerator and stovetop. Only negative was that the pool was out of commission. We were told we could use the pool at the next door hotel but felt awkward. The hot tub and sauna were open and were nice.

Loved our 10 day stay! Can’t beat the central Waikiki location and the view and light that floods this corner unit is beautiful. Kitchen is very small, closer to a kitchenette, balcony is narrow and the unit obviously gets lots of use. It’s well cared for though and everything worked. Garage was easy to navigate, shower was great, as was the bed (firm). Sofa needs replacing but was ok. Really appreciated the boogie boards, chairs and umbrellas! Front desk staff were helpful and laundry area worked well too. Rooftop patio was under construction so the pool was closed, but the bbq/hot tub area was open and absolutely beautiful. My husband loved the sauna too. Thanks for a great stay!

The air conditioning stopped working and we had a terrible sleep for three nights due to the room being so hot and the fan remote control being missing. The host eventually got the ac fixed after ignoring messages from me. There is also construction on both sides of the unit that starts at 3am and did not stop all day. The television also cuts in and out and does not work properly. Overall we were not impressed With the unit. Will not be starting here again.

Great location and the place itself is fine for one or two people. The wonderfully large lanai, overlooking the ocean, is a wonderful plus that you don’t find often. Unfortunately, the building Keycard system is horrible. I had to go have them programmed at least every other day, usually every day. The A/C is also inadequate and I couldn’t keep the place below 75, even though it only got over 80 outside one day.

Restaurants in the immediate blocks had great choices. Perfect distance from beach, 5 minute walk. The closest street to beach was all upscale bland stuff, Kohio had character. Target store 5 minutes walk was wonderful for groceries at a good price.

The hotel itself was very conveniently located only two blocks from Waikiki Beach near the big Banyan tree.The hotel pool was nice as well. We did not use it because the water was a bit chilly..The furnishings in the room are original I believe from when the building was built in the mid 80s or 90s hard to tell, but the couch was stained the orange chair back in the pictures.The rug needs to be thrown in the trash. It’s awful very few dishes matched.The walls and flooring were in very good condition.The beach umbrella only had the top half the part that you stick into the sand was missing. There were three beach chairs for guest use. One of them was so bent up I did not try it out.We did use the other two chairs on the beach.On two occasions, the back of the chair suddenly gave out without any shifting or movement or anything on my part, and I fell back precariously hitting the small of my back on the back of the chair, resulting in a large bruise across my lumbar spine.Overall, for the price, I think we could’ve done much better.Parking was almost impossible. No parking was available within the building.I would suggest that if you do choose to stay in that area of Waikiki that you take a taxi or Uber to the area and not rent a car for a week or more.Overall, I would not rent that particular property again, I also would not recommend it.

"We recently stayed at this property from December 18th to 28th, 2024. Our stay was severely impacted by the extremely noisy and ineffective air conditioning unit, creating an intolerable living environment.Noise Violation: The air conditioning unit produced constant and disruptive noise levels consistently exceeding 75 decibels, far exceeding the permitted limit for residential units. We verified this using a noise level app.Inadequate Cooling: Despite the excessive noise, the unit was ineffective at cooling the apartment. Daytime temperatures soared due to the large windows, and even at night, temperatures remained uncomfortably high.Unresponsive Host:On the third day of our stay, we reported the AC issue to the host. They stated that they were unable to fix it.On the fifth day, we researched local building codes and measured the excessive noise levels. We then contacted the host again with this information, but received no further response until after our departure.This lack of communication and the significant impact of these issues on our stay were deeply disappointing. We hope that the host will address these concerns promptly to improve the comfort and enjoyment of future guests."

We came to town for my daughter’s UH graduation and stayed through Christmas! We loved the amazing views and location of the condo. It is a good size with comfortable beds. Well equipped with everything you need. Even beach towels & chairs. We loved watching the sunrise over the hills and the sunset over the ocean.

Great size apartment for a family. Full kitchen. Laundry on same floor. 5 minute walk to Waikiki beach. Beach accessories in the apartment for the guest to use. Would have appreciated a cleaning service and laundry change throughout a stay more than 7 days like ours.

This was the perfect condo for our 3-person family: a bedroom for us adults and a pull-out couch for the kiddo. Check-in with the front desk was a breeze. Even though this is a rental unit, we still had use of hotel facilities like laundry and the pool (very nice little pool and hot tub with lots of deck chairs and a restaurant/bar). Host responded to all our messages quickly. Condo itself was clean and well-stocked, especially in terms of kitchen appliances: there was a fridge, microwave, toaster, rice cooker, and coffee pot! Perfect if, like us, you don’t want to eat out for every meal. Target and multiple ABC stores close by, and a 5 minute walk to both the International Marketplace and the beach. This unit faces Kuhio Ave so you can hear traffic sometimes but honestly it didn’t bother us: all three of us are light sleepers and didn’t have any problems. All in all, a great value-would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

We arrived at night with all the curtains shut. In the morning, I opened them to bring a floor to ceiling view of the ocean in one direction, and the mountains in the other. Only downside to this wonderful place, which had all we needed, is the noise, which even at 29 stories up is still loud- traffic, construction, sirens, and the TV from the neighbors. The owner was responsive to all our equestions.

Small unit with a large balcony and a decent view. It is a good location within walking distance of the beach, a grocery store and restaurants. It was comfortable.
We felt the unit was a bit lacking in that there were no paper towels, no salt and pepper or coffee filters other than a very few that were the wrong size.
