The room was well stocked with lots of odds and ends such as beach towels and snorkeling items, etc. the room was well decorated and spacious.

The host was in touch with me early and made sure I was able to access the condo. The condo was everything as advertised. Pleasant stay, very secure. Appreciated the attention to detail of the host. Would stay again.

The owner's response was excellent and quick, so I was able to stay with peace of mind. The room was also very clean. I would like to stay again.

The host was very communicative and helpful with some minor issues. The room was a bit smaller than we expected but was adequate for our stay, with good cooking facilities and all the essentials. The bed was comfortable but had an annoying creaking noise. The air conditioning was noisy but luckily we didn't need it much. The location was good, only a short walk to local shops, beaches and buses. Good views to the mountains, when not covered with clouds.

The place was decorated very nicely and the sheets and comforter/quilt was very soft. The hosts were quick to respond and professional. I was disappointed in some aspects hence the 3 rating, but these aren't really the hosts fault. Firstly, the pool is in the shade the entire time which was extremely disappointing. I wouldn't have chosen this place having known that. All day it's in the shade. The neighbor I think across from their unit smokes cigarettes and there is a heavy cigarette smell in the hallway that goes into the unit if we don't shut the door right away. The unit doesn't necessarily have a kitchenette. There is a microwave and small fridge. It's set up like a dorm room. Tiny coffee pot, toaster and toaster oven stored away but no counter space to use it. I really couldn't make any meals there at all which changed my plans and budget. That was my fault for not looking more closely. Also, the the air conditioner on the balcony drips into a large rectangular bucket and as tenants, we are expected to carry it into the tiny room and dump it daily. I would not have rented this place had I known that. It was a cute room and served the purpose but not being able to enjoy the pool in the sun and some of the other things made me wish I had chosen a different room.

Host was very well at communication. We had no internet or tv , as it was internet based . And this was never resolved. Bed was quite firm , but better than the futon, which was a rock. Everything was clean and there waa a great selection of cooking type stuff available. View was great , however we had to deal with lots of smoke , both kinds from below anytime we wanted to use balcony. Reported to office with a ,too bad ... we cant do anything about it attitude. Overall wasnt great , but couldve been much worse.

We loved staying here! The location was fantastic — it was easy to get the keys, and having the tour bus stop right out front was a huge bonus. While this isn’t a brand-new 5-star hotel, it was very clean, comfortable, and had an absolutely amazing view. We were able to walk everywhere, which made exploring so easy and enjoyable. Parking is available for a fee if you rent a car. Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay and we would happily stay here again!

The unit isn’t the cleanest but it was ok. However, the building and the surrounding area felt very dilapidated and unsafe at times.

Communication with host was clear and check-in was easy enough to follow. Parking in the garage was fine. Unit could use some upgrading and maintenance (door locks, railings, vacuum did not have suction, etc). The master bedroom was hot and the AC took a long time to cool and it's VERY loud. The master bedroom has a mattress topper that is too small which makes sleeping two people lopsided and uncomfortable. Living room pull out bed was stuck and couldn't get it to work the first night.

Here are some suggestions: first a more detail folder with action items for checking out - be over communicated within folder. Meaning : where do you want the dirty towels, washcloth, beach towels to go? Second : tear down on bedding ? Do you want us to leave it as is? Or take it down to the washer dry area of the unit? No clear directions- very bad communication in the folder Thirdly: kitchen - we used more paper towels then you left us - we recommend a second roll under the sink for cleaning up and use of hands. Very disappointing on that … Fourth : cooking the basic amenities olive oil, salt pepper ? Nothing for a beautiful penthouse experience… very disappointed that the penthouse doesn’t include this kind… other BnB always had the basic essentials for cooking … It was just an ok place… the only thing is the view and it’s called a penthouse- nothing really outstanding overall. So my review is 3 stars I hope you consider my suggests and recommendations… make it a great experience for the next folks and their families… We had 8 adults

Holiday Vacation We decided to spend the Thanksgiving holiday in Oahu. This rental really made the stay amazing. It is well equipped and the view is absolutely amazing! The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki were stunning. The unit came with beach chairs, boogie boards, beach umbrella, and beach towels. These amenities really added to the beach fun It is easy to get to and nicely located. We loved it and wouldn't hesitate to book here again. Aloha!

Clean room.
Amazing view from the 29th floor.
Atrociously expensive parking.
Decent location about 10 minutes walk from the beach. Some homelessness around so lock your car and keep valuable away from sight.
Busy touristy area along the beach.

So Thankful! REVIEW COMMENTS: Wow!! That about sums it up! I can honestly say I've never had a better host than Steve. He checked in periodically to make sure everything was good. Not only that, but after we left, I discovered I left my Kindle behind. I contacted Steve, who was out of the country at that time, and he immediately reached out to his manager to help. He stayed in contact with me until my Kindle was on the way back to me free of charge! As far as his penthouse... what would you expect from the host I just described! Yup... immaculate! Clean, clean, clean- comfy beds, perfect size living area for our family of four and a beautiful view as well... Diamond Head during the day and a beautiful sunset at night! And, we never had to wait for the elevator. Thank you Steve for your hospitality... you're the best by far!

The area is very convenient without being in the craziness of Waikiki. Very clean and well maintained. Check in was super easy and the host was always available. Will definitely recommend to my friends when the come to visit. The only down side was the pool was closed for repairs but ocean isnt that far way.

There was sand on the floor
The mattress needs an elastic sheet because the one used keeps coming off and making me touch the disgusting mattress cover that had lots of stains on it.
I wish there was an extra blanket and a nightstand to put our phone, water or anything we could use laying on the bed.
There are no closet or dresser to put clothes away, we had to keep our stuff in the luggage.
The bathroom distance a rug, making it unsafe when we get out of the tub.
The bathtub is very slippery and did not have a mat to help with it.
The pool was closed all the days we stayed there.
We stayed 9 days and there was only one bath, hand and face towel for each person.

A perfect place to stay for our family of 4! Great location that's just outside of the craziness of Waikiki. A well-stocked kitchen, as well as a cabinet full of beach items to use. But the star of the show is the view that wraps around the corner, so you can see the canal and the ocean at the same time. We would definitely stay here again.

Very good, basic accommodation. Great view of the city, and within walking distance of the beach. Two comments about the hotel: 1) the day front desk woman is unfriendly, brusk, unhelpful, and has poor communication skills. 2) great food and service at The Creme Pot, but apparently they are pioneering a new way of squeezing money from clients - a mandatory 20 percent service charge! We thought at first that it referred to a tip, and now tips for them are mandatory, so we didn't leave a tip for the server. Looking at the receipt later, we discovered otherwise. Will never eat there again because management is dishonest with their pricing.

I was a little disappointed with how the property was maintained. There were a lot of scuffs on the wall and a couple of unpatched holes in the wall, and although this did not affect our vacation, it was just kind of disappointing. The outlet in the kitchenette did not work for us. The shower is short. If you are over 6 feet like my husband, you will have to duck in order to shower. Also, there were a pair of black socks in the box in the closet (presumably from a prior renter). The bed was sagging in one of the corners - it seems to not fit the bed frame properly. Also, two things I know were not in the control of the property manager: (1) the elevators were very slow and took a long time to get to our floor, and (2) the hallways were very stuffy. The positives were the walkability to the shops, and the AC that worked really well.

I booked this property because it said that parking was included. Lo and behold, if you don’t book far enough in advance, there is no parking available. This should be explicitly stated in the booking. I had to find my own parking. As you know in downtown Waikiki, it’s sparse and expensive. The toiletries were watered down. I left an item at the property, but could only get it late the next day. I was leaving the island early the next morning. If I had been informed when the housekeeper found it, I easily could have returned. Or if they had been available any time at all after I messaged at 4 pm, I could have gotten it that afternoon before I left early the next day. I was simply given the housekeepers phone number and told to coordinate with them. Of course, the housekeeper charged a fee to mail it back to me. The property was clean and in a good location. There was nothing extra. It’s a basic accommodation. Don’t expect customer service.

It's cozy and perfect for 2 people. There is food truck right across the street . The pool area is really nice with hot tub and bbq area. The beach is just 15 minute walk from this place.
