location and unit were great. Clean etc..The pre check in instructions/communication/requirements from Marbella Lane Mgmt were ridiculous.Selfies with my credit card, selfies with my drivers license. very inconvenient. I had to reach out and wait for a return phone call for check in instructions.

The ocean view was gorgeous and the location quiet. Much prefer staying a little further away from the noise of downtown Waikiki. Hosts were attentive and helpful. Hope to be back!

Really nice space, with beautiful view from two sides of the apartment. No maintenance issues or anything at all to complain about. Mark was a responsive host. We had a magical and memorable stay!

Great location, reasonable rate, gorgeous view of Diamond Head and Kapiolani park from private lanai, and nearly empty surf side lanai on ground floor. Beach access steps away, good snorkeling. There were a number of issues that I communicated with host/owner about- hopefully they will be remedied.

We would definitely stay in this unit again. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony with the beautiful fountain, and public park across the street, and watching the activity of joggers and walkers, and the wonderful view of Diamond Head. The Unit was clean and had a lot of extras, (beach chairs, beach umbrellas, small coolers, beach mat) We also enjoyed the coffee! If you’re an Elk’s member, the beautiful Waikiki Elk’s Club is a couple of buildings down the street and has good and reasonably priced food and drinks. While there is no swimming beach at the hotel, the ocean side common area patio is lovely. We walked a few blocks to the public beach and enjoyed our days swimming, reading, relaxing, and people watching.

Studio room with kitchen (no stove/oven). Comfortable bed. Less comfortable couch. Picture of ocean view is accurate but does not include all the buildings and roofs that are also part of that view. Parking garage was full but we didn't need it. Always found parking either paid (.50/hr) or free close by.

We didn’t mind, but very dated. Needs a deep, deep clean. Great location. Excellent communication with management.

The property is not new but well maintained and clean and tidy. Well considered to stay like home having variety of goods including beach equipments. It has an electronic cooker and pans as well in the closet. It even has a first aid kit.

We visit our daughter and always stay at this property. The view from this unit is a 10. The apartment itself is very very dated. The rugs and toilet seat are ratty. Bedroom carpet dark from dirt. It really wouldnt really cost much to replace rugs, toilet seat and paint trim. It also needs a deep clean. I wiped alot of dust particles off kitchen ceiling. Lots of dust. Splatters on wall. I'm a clean freak though. I wouldn't stay in this unit again unless they updated those things.

Nice property, everything was as described. Great view and the bed was comfortable. Liked the location. Close to a lot of activities, but far enough away that it was very quiet at night.

Immaculate cozy 1960 hotel located minutes walk to most gorgeous beach in the area. I literally cried leaving our little home away from home. Wonderful host Terri greeted us and will return again.

It was a wonderful condo with stunning 360 degree views. Really clean and easy access to beaches, parks, diamond head and more. Look forward to staying here again. Aloha...Da Good Life!

Pretty views outside! The place was clean and met our needs. There was only AC in the bedroom so working in the main room was hot, but we were able to open the windows and get some breeze.

Wonderful location, given it is near, but not in the middle of Waikiki. Within walking distance to a lot of places. The building is dated but was clean and fairly well equipped. Host was helpful and available.

This property is great for the location, just off the busy Waikiki tourist area. But just 15 minute walk to get to the start of Waikiki.
The property is older, but fairly well maintained. Staff interaction was great. The backside of the complex has a patio area with lounging chairs, then a grassy area below. Not a good area for swimming as it has a rock cliff, but first beach is 5 away. No BBQ as stated.
The apartment itself was clean and fairly well stocked with essentials. The kitchen had needed supplies for cooking and eating for 4 place settings. Even had some spices, though when checking out, were probably not useable as seemed to be clumped from humidity.
The dining table had plenty of room around it for 4 persons.
The living room has a couch and a lounge chair. There is a TV that has Roku with limited availability. But could log in with your own account for as well as Netflix and other streaming services.
The bathroom was a bit cramped in that the shower seemed smaller than what I am used to as well as the walkway is right on top of the commode and sink when walking into. Was well stocked with extra toilet paper and extra towels and such.
The bedroom is fair size. There are nightstands on each side and a chest of drawers. The closet has hangers and also stores a couple of beach chairs as well as a boogie board and swimming equipment. The bed was actually comfortable being one that isn’t old and you sink into the middle or rock hard like sleeping on the floor.

We stayed at this property 8 years ago for our honeymoon. We have been coming back to this property every year. This was the 1st time in 8 years it was available for the week we were coming and we jumped on it. We are so glad to have gotten to stay in the same unit as our honeymoon. Sherry was wondering working with, and we will definitely be coming back.. Mahalo

We had a very nice experience at your property. The location was ideal. The communication excellent. We would definitely stay there again. My only criticism would be that the furniture (mattress and couch) are past there prime and will need to be updated. Thank you

Couldn’t have been a better location. We don’t like being in the thick of Waikiki, and this was within walking distance when we needed to go there, and handy to get to the highway when you want to explore. Large lanai for viewing the ocean, Diamondhead and Kapi’olani Park. We saw some of the most amazing sunsets ever! Mark was the best to work with, communicating in the booking process, sending us info previous to our arriving and checking with us when we arrived to make sure everything was alright. He answered the phone right away when we had a question, which hasn’t always been our experience with other rentals. Great communication!

We love this location and property management! Patrick is the best. Always so helpful. Condo space was wonderful. If I had to say anything for improvement, maybe provide dishwasher detergent. It was nice to have the dishwasher. Otherwise - awesome!!!!

Check-in was a breeze, the property itself is great for being out of touristy downtown, but still walkable to the Waikīkī beaches. The communication from the property was top notch with INCREDIBLE customer service. I can’t wait to stay here again soon.

Location is unmatched. Close enough to Waikiki, but far enough from the busy traffic. The unit is a bit dated, but checked all the necessary boxes. The unit was nicely cleaned and cooled when we arrived. My only complaint is that the provided linens were very basic and limited - something that could be easily fixed to make this an incredible stay. We would visit again!

Place had great views, convenient to Waikiki, but not in it. Internet was absolutely terrible. Thankfully we had our own built in on our cells. Bed very comfortable. I think they need a better cleaning service. The place didn’t seem that clean. Shower curtain smelled, stains on living room couch etc. still had vertical blinds with lots of the panels missing. Just seemed run down.

The location is the best. The place is at the foot of Diamond Head and across from Kapiolani Park. You are a quick walk into Waikiki, but away from all the chaos.The space was very clean and the bed is comfy. WIFI worked great.I do wish the kitchenette had its own sink, but I didn't eat meals in the room.

The apartment was easy to access, well stocked for our week stay. Close to beach, nice enclosed garden area on 1st floor. Speed of the Wi-Fi was fine. A/C kept the apartment comfortable.

Nice small property with a convenient view to the ocean and city. It is an aged building and lacks modern touches, but it is worth it for the view and being fairly close to the beach. Worth it if don’t want to spend tons of money in other higher end hotels.

This spot might be a little hard to find, but worth it. It is on the quiet end of Waikīkī, a short walk to beaches and restaurants. Very restful after a couple days on the opposite end of town. If I had to stay in that area again, this would be a better choice than the chaos and noise of the resort areas!

Things Liked: Clean unit, no bugs (its an island expect bugs that's normal) EXCELLENT location - easy to find, walkable to Waikiki restaurants, great restaurant/coffee shop 850ft away, SAFE neighborhood, convenient access to other areas, minimal traffic. QUIET building with on-site laundry and common area with water-view has loungers and tables, & access to water for surfing. Comfortable bed! keyless entry plus 2 fobs for garage/building access. Covered parking available - owner provided company info. Beach chairs, towels, small cooler included. Strong living room A/C. Owner responds quickly to questions.Things lacking based on description compared to when we booked: Only ocean view from common hallway leading to unit door or common grass area. Orange-stained bathroom grout corners, shower handles had permanent marker lines explaining where to stop turning them (odd), cabinet above microwave missing door (luxurious title of unit). "Lanai and 2 chairs" is unusable narrow ledge, no chairs could fit on it even if they were supplied. Bedroom A/C extremely loud and insufficient - runs 24/7 and struggles to cool room to my desired temp at night. No fans to circulate air from living room which would help. Warnings not to use microwave w other appliances or potential breaker trips (breaker on 5th floor- owner offers assistance w this if occurs). Bottom Line: Perfect if you don't want ocean view from inside unit, don't want your own lanai, and don't need cold bedroom at night.

The stay at this property was very nice! We really like the layout of the apartment, especially having the den for extra space for each family member. The property was overall pretty clean and the location was very good. Parking can be a little bit tricky to find in the afternoon, but for other time, pretty easy to get a spot nearby. The only place for improvement might be additional AC in the living room. The unit is mostly south-facing, in the afternoon, the living room heats up pretty quick even with the ceiling fan. The communication was also pretty smooth.

Lovely property! So convenient on Kai mana side. Quiet, easy and a lovely place to walk downtown or toward diamonhead. Friendly surf zone if you can read the reef and awesome swim. Easy parking, friendly neighbors. Adore this space.

I come to Oahu often and like to try out different areas. This was my first stay on the Gold Coast, and it didn’t disappoint. The efficient little studio is in a great location, with well-stocked kitchenette, on-site parking and laundry for a fee, and partial ocean views on each side. If you’re looking for a reasonably priced, minimal frills option to a hotel, this is a tidy spot with a laidback beach vibe.
