Overall a great stay! Location is fantastic, close to the beach, shopping and many restaurants.
Hotel was great! Nice roof top pool and hottub, sauna and BBQ area. Well maintained and clean. Tons of space.
Apartment was good. Nice view. Set up with everything you need. A little dated in decor and could use some of the kitchen utensils refreshed. Would also appreciate curtains in the bedroom.
There is construction happening near by so you wake up to construction sounds of the city.
Overall we would stay again.

My family of 5 and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here! nested up on the 23rd floor, you're able to escape the busy streets while enjoying a gorgeous view of Waikiki. Everything you need is within walking distance, including the beach! There are stores and a magnitude of dining selections right below you. Parking was extremely convinient, the elevator is literally right behind the parking spot, and zips you right up to your floor. With three children in tote, I felt extremely safe here. We didn't spend any time at the pool, but we did dip our toes in. The pool area was very clean. The owner of this property does a fantastic job of supplying things you'll need, even folding chairs with backpack straps and umbrellas to take down to the beach. All of the beds are clearly new, because they're SOOO comfortable! The owner was extremely responsive and gave great instruction on checking in. They personally greeted us and showed us up to the condo. I have no complaints whatsoever. If we come back to Waikiki, we will surely be renting this property again!

Wonderful stay! Mayu, the property manager, was incredibly helpful. She provided us with parking information, recommended some excellent restaurants, and promptly addressed all our inquiries. The rooms were clean, and the condo came fully equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas, and floaties, making our trips to the nearby beach even more enjoyable. The location was fantastic, with plenty of excellent restaurants within walking distance. The only hiccup we encountered was with the person at the front desk, who unfortunately wasn't very helpful. I'd definitely stay here again if I visit Oahu in the future.
Thank you!

Place is fully stocked in the kitchen and for the beach. Amazing sunsets and ocean view from spacious lanai. Host is very responsive and accommodated late check out. Highly recommend and will return. Central location to everything. Place looks better than in photos with updated laminate flooring and furniture.

The building is in a great spot and the apartment perfectly functional, but much smaller than the clever realtor photos make it look. The bedroom only has a small double bed but there’s still only room for one bedside cabinet. It’s a bit dated but clean and OK for 2 but definitely no more. This unit is on the side of the building that takes the full force of the trade winds and at 16 floors up you can’t get out onto the lanai without being blown over, which is a shame. The staff in the building are lovely, and really want to help, but their hands are tied if there are issues with a private unit like this, so if I was to stay here again I’d book direct rather than through a 3rd party.

Superb location just 1.5 blocks to the beach. Unit is a bit older, but second to none for cleanliness and location. Front desk staff was very friendly and polite. Building is very secure and requires card for entry to Elevators. I had to leave early one morning(3AM) and a very large(in a good way) security guard was on duty at the elevator entrances. We felt super secure and slept very well. Our host left us some treats in the room for that extra caring touch. We will defiantly stay here again and would not hesitate to recommend this host and unit.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Pacific Monarch! The view from the room and the open lanai was such a great feature. The location of this place was ideal, only a few blocks away from the beach, and great food spots. A huge bonus was the rooftop pool, sauna and hot tub! It was used every night!
We loved that there was a cooler and chairs (the chairs have been loved) and a very large mini fridge. Can fit lots of stuff in it. The unit had all necessary cleaning items and came well equipped with extra garbage bags/toilet paper/paper towel etc.
This is a gem of a place to stay and can’t say enough good things about the overall location and unit!

We have 4 kids so this place was great because it has 3 bedrooms. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping and the beach (literally 2 blocks from the beach). Kids also enjoyed the swimming pool. Washer and dryer were inside the condo so that was great as well. Plenty of beach towels and beach equipment provided. We enjoyed our stay.

This is a great location for going to Waikiki Beach and the main strip. You are close to all shopping, restaurants and of course ABC stores. The rooftop pool was very nice, although a bit windy. The balcony had a nice view of the ocean, we found it quite windy so werent able to spend much time on it, and couldnt enjoy coffee or meals out there. We used the rooftop grill one evening and it was very clean and worked great. The hottub is a nice place to chat with other guests. The room was good. The bedroom is nice when traveling with a family. We found the pullout couch to be a bit uncomfortable due to just having a memory foam and not a real mattress. The kitchen could use a few more cooking utensils, there was no flipper or tongs for the grill, and there were no baking sheets or steak knives. Those would be our only complaints though. Check in was easy, the staff were very friendly and always helpful with questions or suggestions. The unit is very clean and bug free. There were 2 beach chairs and a medium sized cooler bag, we purchased a beach umbrella that we left behind so hopefully the next guests can use it. The ceiling fan and stand up fan in the bedroom were nice and the main air conditioner kept the unit nicely cool. Any communication with the host company was answered quickly. We would definitely stay in this unit again.

In the future won’t stay anywhere else! Very clean condo with huge lanai and panoramic views (ocean out every window)! Condo has a great layout and is perfect for 1-2 people- a new couch/ futon was comfortable for sleeping. Owner Steve was in regular contact with us making sure everything was as expected. Condo In a hotel building in Waikiki surf area- best access to beach, shopping and entertainment, great pool and community spaces with friendly and very helpful staff.

The property has a great view, and was as described. The decor is dated and needs some TLC, but for the price and location, it is a good value. We did find that the queen bed was comfortable, but the fold out futons for guests 3 and 4, were not as comfortable.We enjoyed the hot tub on the roof.

For me the best features of this unit. The slider opens wide, 10 feet. Makes for a real open-air feeling. Next, this unit has an ocean view filled with activity, also a sparkling city lights view at night. Another feature important to me, the unit faces away from direct sunlight all day. The kitchen is fully equipped the pillows and bed are so nice, the internet and tv service work well. The elevator is fast and the lobby people are the best...

What an amazing place. Loved it and loved the location. Well equipped. Lovely host who was very communicative. The beach is literally within sight and a two minute walk. The host provided amazing beach accessories for which we were very grateful. Staff attge front desk made check in very long and difficult and gave incorrect info about several things including parking and laundry. That is pretty much everyone's experience.😅 but overall this is agt place!

Just about a block from Waikīkī Beach and on the 13th floor had a fantastic view of the ocean between and over some buildings! Our host supplied many items useful on the beach, but unfortunately weather wasn’t the best and Waikīkī Beach is pretty crowded even in late January when we were there. Only had one problem at the end when were charged for face cloths that were thread bare when we arrived and ripped during our use. Our host just uses a cleaning company though so she didn’t know about those items beforehand. Would recommend her and the facility ultimately.

The room physically was all I could ask for. Nice furniture, lanais, kitchen, bath, all perfect.But the CONSTRUCTION outside was awful. Jackhammer every day. Backup beeping all the time. Hammering early in the day before 0800. You could not open the doors to enjoy the healthy sea air or hear the birds. NOWHERE in renting the unit was there any warning this was happening.

This condo is in DETERIORATING condition: bathtub enamel is worn through to rust which wasn't removed after cleanig; bath/shower tile grout was black with mildew/mold even after cleaning; sofa upholstery is torn and smells of mildew; filter in wall air conditioning unit was black with mildew/mold/dirt; pictures removed from the wall were stacked on the floor; all lamp shades were water stained and in poor condition; vertical shade slats on living room sliding door were broken off in multiple places; aluminum track for bedroom sliding door is so corroded we were not able to shut/lock door; all furniture surfaces were dusty; bedsheet thread count was paper thin and translucent revealing the mattress pad below; bathroom vanity/counter tiles were broken off and replaced with laminate pieces; all furniture was in poor condition (scratched, old) and looks similar to free furniture listed on CL. Spent $1800 for 7 days and we couldn't stay one night because of the state of the condo/apartment. Called the contact phone number given for this unit and the representative said that they had to contact the property management company (Novation) in order to get authorization for remedial action, and instructed "We should stand by our phone and stay in the apartment awaiting a call back which may take up to 24 hours to happen." I would not jest: this response was considered appropriate customer support. My recommendation is to stay clear of this Novation-owned rental and buyer beware of VRBO listings. This is the second poor experience we've had with VRBO listings. If you're going to stay in Waikiki Beach, I highly recommend the Hilton Waikiki Beach hotel where we stayed for $50 more per night for a gorgeous, drop-dead ocean view room on the 30th floor, first class customer service, first class hotel rooms with on-site maintenance and housekeeping.

BLUF: Do Not Book This
I booked this property for 18 nights. The lack of reviews made me nervous, but being a host myself I know everyone has to start somewhere, so I booked.
Evolve communicated check in instructions. I was feeling good.
My family of four, including a 5 year old landed in HI from NJ after 18+ hours of travel and arrived at the hotel to find out there was NO parking. The listing said it came with one parking spot (which you had to pay for) but there was no available parking.
That’s not the worst.
I tried to check in to this unit at 5 PM on the day of check-in (2 hours past check-in time). The hotel had no record of my reservation, even though the check-in instructions told me to check in at the front desk.
I tried to call the “local host” - FYI Evolve (the main host is a giant company)- anyway, the local host didn’t answer the phone. So here I am in a lobby, awake for 19+ hours at this point, a sleep deprived 5 year old, and an unresponsive host.
I then called Evolve, who was able to get a hold of the “local host,” who Evolve told me to give the local host 15 minutes. I waited for the local host to call me. He still did not call. Then called the host myself. He answered. He said the room would be ready shortly. It was another HOUR before we were able to get into the room.
When we walked in it was trashed. Dirty towels, bedding, hair, and trash everywhere. I tried to call the “local host” back and he did not answer. Getting a refund took one month!

Great location. Beautiful view. Kitchen is well stocked. Amazing to have a washer/dryer and a parking spot.
Host was responsive with a few questions we had when on site. Did not respond to a question I had before I left about a parking spot.
Would stay here again . . . if they replaced one of the single beds. There was a huge “divot/hole” in the middle of the mattress. My sister had to put 3 pillows in this “hole” in order to use the bed. I notified the host.

Central location within a three minute walk of the beach. Lovely water views. Place itself is clean but a bit bare bones. We did not like the bedding. There was no duvet cover! Just a blanket between two sheets! So we went to Target and bought our own sheets and duvet. Also no kleenexes. The paper towel was very poor quality and paper thin so we bought some bounty. No dish drainer. Weird. Anyways, we felt they could have spent just a little more to make the experience nice. Host was not very helpful. We reached out that the blinds were defective and blocking the view. They initially said someone would stop by but 8 days later and no response. Having said that, location was nice and walkable. Not 5 star accommodations but a solid 3 star.
