This unit is located just a 5 minute walk to Waikiki Beach and close to lots of great restaurants. It has everything in it that you would need. Loved it and would stay here again. Mahalo for a great stay.

"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."

Lani was a great host and stay was great. Only downside was pool was closed during entire stay. The pool looks amazing and would have been great to use after the beach. We will stay again.

The property was a little dated, but had a beautiful view of the mountains and you could see a partial view of the ocean.the room was very clean and Lani was easy to reach. Check in was easy. We would definitely recommend staying there and hope to come back again.

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 place was a God send to us! Central location close to everything including the beach. Quiet room and comfortable bed. Great food choices within walking distance. The laundry facilities were easy to use and accesible. Host was easy to reach with any questions and made our 1st VRBO experience exceptional.

Great location, bed comfortable but sofa not, coffee maker didn’t work.

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!

The condo was as described and perfect for our vacation! The view from the deck was even better than expected, beautiful sunsets and ocean view. The kitchen was well stocked and the condo was clean. The unit is dated but was clean and comfortable. Would recommend and hope to be back again!

We loved the location and would love to stay here next time. The condo had everything you could need. I loved sitting out on the balcony in the mornings. Just a super short walk to the beach and the International Marketplace as well as so many shopping and food establishments.

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our second stay at this location. It’s a great location, just a block from the beach and has a lovely pool oasis. The furniture is definitely worn. But it was still comfortable. Just wish there had been chairs on the balcony with this unit. Would book there again if Waikīkī is my destination.

This place is on 29th floor and view is awesome. Kitchen is fully equipped with much more than basic amenities.

This was a great spot for those looking for a quick walk to Waikiki Beach and all the shops along Kuhio Ave. Having the kitchenette helped a lot and there was plenty of room for 3 people. Host was also very quick to respond to questions. Thank you!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 10泊お世話になりました。立地がよく、バス停も近いので便利。26階で横から海が見えます。一番のお気に入りは朝焼けが見えるので、毎日早起きして見ていました。設備は古く感じましたが、許容範囲です。値段を考えるとコスパがよいと思います。シャワーが固定式でないのはありがたかったのですが、お湯の勢いが弱かったのが唯一残念でした。コインランドリーや屋上のプールなども利用でき、長期滞在でゆっくり過ごす事ができたので満足しています。

What an amazing place! My husband, teen daughter & her friend stayed very comfortably, the doors to be able to separate the apartment into two spaces was perfect! Only a few blocks from everything, 10/10 recommend 😊

This was a great little unit. A smaller studio room but 3 small balconies helped make it bright and breezy. Beach chairs, beach umbrellas and boogey boards all included so very nice. Great location. The Bamboo Hotel courtyard is quite lovely- an oasis in the middle of the concrete buildings. Pool, hottub and restaurant. Reception was lovely. Thank you. buildings!jungle

Lani was brilliant to deal with , we had a late change of arrival and this was looked after quickly and helpfully , thanks so much for helping us out with a stressful situation. The place was fantastically located and everything we were looking for on our holiday - thanks

We had a wonderful stay! The location was ideal, with the convenience of walking to the beach, and the pictures online matched the reality perfectly. We especially enjoyed the ocean view from our room. While the water pressure in the shower could be stronger and an extra set of beach towels would have been nice, these were minor issues. Overall, we highly recommend this place and would happily stay here again!"

The rental was comfortable and comfortable. I was surprised that that paint in the rental, after viewing the VRBO photos, was as worn as it was. However, everything else was up to par.

We enjoyed and loved staying in this property! We appreciate the constant communication with the property manager. We loved getting acai bowls down the street, coffee at Kona Purveyors, poke right across the street, musubi downstairs, and korean food truck next door. The beach is only a few mins walk. The condo is very spacious and clean. We only have 2 complaints but did not deduct any stars: there was a musty strong smell that lingered for 2 days and they were doing construction on the lanai. We would definitely stay in this property again.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I reserved this rental based on the previous reviews and pictures of the interior. Immediately upon entering, it was clear that the pictures were incredibly misleading, as well as half of the furniture was not even in the room. There was sand (it's Hawaii, I know) on the floor in the entrance as well as a collection of coffee creamers/napkins/sugars behind the entertainment stand. There were two surge protectors, one in the living room and one ON the bedside table. There was zero art, no clock of any kind, and zero soap dispensers or soap trays for the bathroom. The circular plastic table in the unit creaks like it was full of cricket knees and the loveseat did not turn into a hide-a-bed as the photos showed a totally different loveseat altogether. Similarly, the bed was different and was simply a box surrounding the bedspring and the mattress was the least comfortable thing I have slept on in a few years (and I do a TON of camping).The location is very near the beach and main drag, allowing easy access by foot; but two blocks east of the nice poshness of Waikiki and more of a "rough" block by comparison. The unit is on the 31st floor, so elevator time is something obvious. Literally the only redeeming quality of the rental is the height of the room above the rest of the city, which provides a nice sliver view of the ocean. The rooftop pool was a super nice thing to have, and the hotel keeps the common areas very tidy. Which to add the hotel staff were incredibly friendly and accomidating.I can best compare this unit to the Norweigian jail units I have seen in documentaries. It is clear that the owner of this place does not care for a better renter experience. Units on the same floor had nice backsplashes and hand soap containers and simply looked lived in and nice and comfortable. Overall, I would not hope to stay in a place like this for a vacation for the price without some simple additions that would make it feel a bit m

Property was as described. It is a bit older in an older building and could maybe use a little refresh but it was clean and well-maintained. The queen bed seems smaller than standard but could just be me used to a king lol Owner/manager incredibly responsive; replaced broken beach chairs within an hour! There was a school group across the street that did a very loud and long chant 2 mornings at 7am. Not sure if that is a normal thing. Pool ambiance is nice but hot tub is not very comfortable and temp was inconsistent. Minor issue. Decently stocked and close to everything especially the beach.

We had a stream less check in, keyless entry to floors, security, property owner, Steve, was fantastic, very prompt answering questions. Close to beach, restaurants and shops. I’d definitely recommend this unit. Only downside was ac but that’s not the fault of owner, he is in the process of getting new, it worked just not able to keep up with Hawaii heat. We loved our stay!

October 2024

Perfect location with an amazing view! 5 mins walk from Waikiki Beach and right next to coolest street Uluniu Avenue with Moku surf, Shorefyre bar & grill, Maguro Spot for poke and the #1 Musubi Cafe. Ideal 4 people family place to stay with all necessities incl beach towels, body boards, and roof top pool. Host responded quickly and very friendly. You can easily do trips to the amazing beaches of Waimānalo, Northshore surfer heaven, and landmark Ko’olau mountain range. We totally fell in love with Honolulu and the urban vibe of O’ahu - 5 days wasn’t enough!

October 2024

We stayed here for five days and were notified less than 24 hours before our arrival about construction noise from 8 AM to 4 PM on weekdays. The communication from both the owner and property management was poor; they claimed they had sent prior notice, but I never received it. Additionally, we got a last-minute email about a water shut-off from 12 PM to 3 PM the same day. This lack of timely communication forced us to adjust our plans during our vacation, and we received no compensation or acknowledgment of our inconvenience. As a result, we won't be returning, over priced . They seem indifferent to their guests' experiences.

The property is nothing how pictures look. It is dirty, old, outdated and ugly!! Everything is outdated and old. The beds are horrible to sleep on and the air conditioning unit is horrible it’s always so hot in there even with ac on full blast. I will never book this place again. And I booked through Expedia thinking it was a hotel but it was not, it was privately owned so don’t fall for it!!
