Overall, my stay was great! The location made it easy to walk wherever i needed to. The room was the perfect size for me!

The little condo is well stocked and furnished. It was very clean and in a good location. Great for budget travelers.

Small little unit but good location. Major issue was parking. Asked about it in advance, was told it was available at the parking lot in the building. We parked, checked in, and later security knocked on our door telling us we had to move the car. Texted the host and she wrote “due to short notice our parking spaces are currently occupied, and that parking needed to be paid in advance.” Good information to have had before we arrived! Not helpful. Security told us where to park off-site. Host did step up and talk with security later so eventually moved back to the ramp in the building. Had to move the car 4 times during a 5 night stay. Very stressful since we had activities planned and time commitments to work around.

Very clean for the most part, and the host was very nice and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and it's conveniently located near everything in Waikiki. Would stay here again in the future, you cannot beat the price.

We wanted to stay for 3 nights in Oahu for the cheapest possible in an 8 plus rated location. This unit fit the bill. This property is small, but has hard floors and is clean. The newly remodeled claim is not really accurate - kitchenette counter and back splash are newer - bathroom and rest of unit is tired. Unit has a closet which doesn't seem to be mentioned. And there is plenty of room for luggage - a few reviews indicated there is not even enough room to store bags - this is not accurate. The host responds promptly. Wifi great. Parking 45 cash per night for 2 nights; 50 cash for 1 night. We would stay here again.

Obviously, the views are amazing! The location is great. They really need to work on the cleanliness of the unit. When we walked in we found a used nasal wash thing on the counter, an open half eaten pack of cookies on the couch. The kitchen had so many ghost ants we couldn't use it or even set anything down on the counter. The main bathroom had a used bar of soap in the shower. The upstairs bathroom shower had what appeared to be blood on the walls. Neither had been cleaned. The parking was a hassle, no discount and they tried to charge for 5 days when I only stayed 4. One other weird thing, every morning there would be water on the floor near the bottom of the stairs. I think we used half the towels wiping it up. I couldn't find anything dripping and I don't think it was coming from the bathroom. Again, the view was amazing, the rooftop does need more than seating for three.

The location sit in the perfect spot off the Waikiki strip. Located near a ton of food options and three convenience store. Scooter and jeep rentals at the building and a short walk to the beach. This room is ideal for a couple or single. Only downfall is the parking is a bit pricey however, there is street parking nearby.

The property had all the amenities we could have wished for in a great location with a spectacular view. Very comfortable. The owner kept in touch with helpful information and was available for questions. We would stay here again.

Nothing better than Honolulu
Erich B.
April 2025

The location was very convenient but I wouldn't describe it as "clean and renovated." It is in an older building and the interior of the unit is dated. I did not notice any remodeling.The parking is 50 (listing says 40) for 24 hours. Parking lot is connected to the building which is very convenient. Building security is very reassuring. There are cameras anywhere and staff at the front desk area to assist. The TV did not work. i tried using the remote with no luck. I reached out for assistance and someone was supposed to come by but I wasn't there and it didn't work for the duration of my stay.The Wi-Fi is not good at all. There were two options but only one of them worked. The connection was very unstable and I would get kicked off every few minutes. This was a major problem for me because I needed to work a bit but couldn't. Someone was supposed to come and check it out but not sure if they did and the connection did not get better.Communication with Shujie was excellent. I was also able to check in shortly before check in. I asked for late check out as well and it was granted which I really appreciate.Air conditioning was a lifesaver! Having a closet full of beach equipment and towels was also very helpful and nice to have. The listed has bottled water being included but it wasn't and there were stores close by that we could get it from.We did not use any of the building amenities (ie. pool, jacuzzi, gym, etc.).

My family of four had a wonderful stay. Steve was a fabulous host. This was our first trip to Oahu, and Steve was really great with his communication and sharing information. We loved the location and the view from the penthouse is amazing, as advertised. The PH is close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. We did not rent a car as you can Uber or Lyft anywhere rather quickly. Waikiki is expensive, we reduced our expenses by preparing some meals in the penthouse and enjoying the million dollar view. You can walk to Walmart and Foodland for groceries and supplies. There is also a great food truck court across the street. My adult kids, who are foodies, loved the food trucks. And, the bakery in the complex, Maleko, is a gem. Save room in your suitcase for pineapple coconut jam and chocolate, coconut, peanut butter which can all be purchased at Maleko. If you want high end food and shopping, the PH is 3 to 4 blocks from glitz and glamour.

This was an amazing place with amazing views day and night . Was spacious for our entire family and well kept. Love the antiques in there and the rooms and bathrooms were very nice. Definitely was described correctly and I recommend this to anyone wanting to see Hawaii it’s so close to everything

Great property and location! Would recommend this. Just crazy you pay all that money and then need to purchase parking on top of it even though the condo has a parking stall. Anything to make money I guess. The property could use the walls and baseboards washed. And there’s nowhere to leave garbage ones the bin in the room is full.

We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and the view from the condo. The bed was comfortable and use of the microwave and fridge was great. The unit was a little smaller than we expect (no storage)
Sharon
March 2025

We enjoyed the view, the sun, the bed, appliances, pool, and the nearby access to food trucks, restaurants, the beach, and many buses to the Bishop Museum, Waikiki Market, Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, etc. The air conditioner is noisy as it labors to keep the room cool and seems ready to be replaced. We would certainly stay again.

This is a perfect place to stay the night.....or several especially if traveling solo. Everything is within walking distance which was so nice! Loved the amenities (esp the pool deck area) and the apartment was cute and cozy.

The key cards were easily accessed in the lower lobby. Like others have stated the room is in need of updates. The only complaints would be there were not enough towels for our family, the water pressure was not good, and the clothes iron was not in working order.

Although the facilities are a bit outdated, three-bedroom condominiums in Waikiki are very rare. As other guests have noted, the view from the top floor is spectacular.The staff's office is close by and they are quick to respond to requests.

Space was just adequate for 2. Ambiance could be improved. 2 beach chairs & 2 beach towels would be nice. We did not care for the soap & shampoo. Communication with host was clear & easy; we received responses quickly. A binder or something from host with policies, recommendations for food, etc needed
Heather M.
March 2025

This was a cute little apartment. Very clean. The owner was very sweet and went overboard to make sure we were comfortable. Very good communication, just checking in to see if we were happy, giving us clear instructions and guidance. Very appreciated. Loved all the food trucks very close by. Good location. Felt safe. We rented a car right downstairs. Very convenient. You can’t beat the price for this location. We were very happy here and recommend it!

What a pleasure it was to stay here. We were looking for a place that was centrally located and had unbeatable views — this was it! Plenty of space, could not beat the views. Excellent host communication, very clean with lots of amenities. We were thrilled to be here on a Friday night as the city has a fireworks display, the outdoor patio was the place to enjoy them. Would absolutely book again if we find ourselves in Honolulu. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

We had a wonderful two weeks with our adult stepdaughter—plenty of room for the three of us, gorgeous views, lots of Waikiki activities and nearby beach. All the processes and many entertainment opportunities were very clearly laid out. Highly recommended.

February 2025

Communication was great and check in was easy. We loved the place but we’re here for a tennis tournament. So we needed tennis courts so we had to change locations. If it weren’t for that we would have stayed. Host refunded us. I would stay here again if I visit.

Plenty of space for all- loved having 3 bathrooms! Good location, nice building, friendly staff, plenty of parking (paid).We would likely look to vrbo instead of hotel rooms on future trips.

Family members, two couples, spent five nights here the beginning of February. View was breathtaking when we walked in the door. Windows, windows everywhere! Yet at night and during the heat of the day had plenty of shades and drapes!Pictures show you exactly as it is – kitchen is well stocked and one bathroom has a walk-in shower and The other one has a Japanese bathtub with shower.Very clean condo with good quality sheets and towels, and all the beds were comfortable. Amazing assortment of beach paraphernalia. Beach is about a 10 minute walk. Amazing group of stationary food trucks on the corner across the street that are open daily.There is a wonderful shop in the lobby for morning, coffee, and wonderful pastries…Highly recommend!!

Great location, 15/20 min walk from the beach, stunning view of the city But the check list for cleaning, sweeping, ect is a bit odd .. curious as to why it's a sizable amount if host is only washing 1-2 loads of laundry.

Perfect spot for our group. Views were amazing and the location was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Only negative mark is fire alarm went off twice and once at 5am. Water was also shut off for 3 hours.
