What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Guests consistently love the Ilikai Marina’s location and views. Sitting right on the yacht harbor at the quieter end of Waikiki, it’s an easy 5–10 minute walk to the Hilton lagoon and beaches, Ala Moana Beach Park and Center, and countless restaurants, ABC stores, and tour pickups. Many units are clean, comfortable, and in some cases newly updated, with full kitchens, good Wi‑Fi, and thoughtful extras like beach chairs, towels, coolers, and boogie boards. Harbor sunsets and the Friday night fireworks are highlights, often enjoyed right from the lanai, and the value versus nearby hotels is a common plus.

Stays feel convenient and homey: most condos have enough space for couples or small families, some with sliding doors that separate the bedroom from the living area. Having a kitchen makes it easy to save on meals, and many hosts are praised for clear communication and quick responses. Parking is attached to the building (expect roughly $28–$33/day with an in/out pass), and some guests appreciate the on‑site or nearby car rental options. On the ground floor, the Chart House/Harbor Pub is handy for food and live music, and many reviewers mentioned walking everywhere rather than relying on a car.

Tradeoffs reflect an older, mixed-condition building. Lanais are typically small (sometimes “standing” only), and periodic exterior/lanai work or nearby renovations can bring daytime noise and occasional closures—ask ahead if this matters. Street and restaurant noise can carry up to lower floors until about 10–11 pm, and morning marina/truck noise is noted, so light sleepers may prefer higher floors or earplugs. Cleanliness and maintenance vary by unit (a few reports of AC/water quirks or occasional pests), there’s no pool, laundry is shared on another floor, and basics like salt/pepper or extra linens aren’t guaranteed. Parking and check‑in are generally smooth but the garage pass system can be confusing at first. Overall, travelers seeking superb walkability, big views, and condo convenience tend to leave happy, especially if they’re flexible about the quirks of an older waterfront building.

Recent Ilikai Marina Reviews


**“As locals here in Hawai‘i, we absolutely recommend this place! It was such a beautiful stay for our wedding anniversary, and it’s close to everything we love. We could easily walk around the nearby resorts right next to our building—it was gorgeous!The place itself had just the right amount of space for us and was very well kept. Everything was super clean, and the bed was comfortable. The only small issue (which wasn’t really a big deal) was the TVs—they’re a bit old school, so you have to stand to the right side to change the channel, and the one in the bedroom only connects to a laptop or HDMI cable. Just a heads up!Customer service was awesome and answered all our questions right away. If you want a late checkout, it’s 25 per hour up to 3 PM—just let them know.We’d definitely love to come back and stay again in the future. Much Mahalo!”**

I'm seriously considering making Ilikai Marina my long-term home - the view is incredibly uplifting and the sunset is a daily reminder to appreciate the beauty of life.

I gave it a three (3) because the balcony was non existent-it’s so small!The property is in a great location! The property is designed wonderful! Exterior hallway needs some cleaning. All and all I would recommend this property!

Balcony view was lovely but difficult to sit at for long periods of time because the furniture was uncomfortable and easily got dirty. There is no parking included at this property. If you want parking in the adjoining garage, it costs 33 per day and it can be difficult to get a monthly pass if you’re a long term stay.

Great view! Great location! Resort style amenities, restaurants, ice cream and convenient store in lobby. Easy access to pool, beach and lagoon. Easy walk to shopping and restaurants. Short drive to many sight seeing attractions. Well stocked kitchen, linens and beach toys and chairs. Friday night luau and fireworks were unexpected surprises!

The view is amazing! Everything we needed in the kitchen is provided. The room is clean and comfortable like a home away from home. It was great to have a fan as we like having moving air while sleeping. Although we didnt make use, we loved that there were beach amenties available. Highly recommend booking!

Clean, well-appointed and maintained space with practical layout and convenient keyless entry. Lovely view over Ala Wai marina. Robust wi-fi. Excellent location with access by 10-minute walk to Ala Moana Beach Park, Ala Moana Mall and lots of dining options. High floor and facing away from nearest big street minimized noise. Close to bus stops offering excellent travel opportunities.

The unit was clean and pleasantly decorated. It was also warm. Definitely needed the air conditioning. The kitchen could be better equipped. Not even a baking sheet .... which we needed. Constant dripping of hot water in shower. Also, the bathroom door stuck, which was annoying.

The view is what lured me in. Loved that it was within walking distance of one of my fave restaurants. Enjoyed the convertible furniture. The complimentary house slippers, bidet and detachable shower head was a great touch. Biggest issue I had was not the room but parking.

Me and my wife visited from Ohio. It was our second time in Oahu, different VRBO. Everything was great, the view, the room, the AC, we had a great time. And the price was great. Coming back to the room was always a relief, as it was cool and relaxing.

October 2025

It was...fine. Great location, lots of parking available in garage, and nice comfy bed. The building and unit were clean, but just a bit dated & tired. The unit is stocked with the bare minimum (ie no food storage containers, spices, coffee filters, nothing). The listing stated that there was work being done on the lanais which should be completed the end of August, it's not even kind of done. The lanai is locked and it is super loud when the work is actively happening. City views are nice & a/c is good. Again, it was...fine.

We had a wonderful 10 days at this condo. The entire unit was perfectly curated for an island getaway. The photos don't do this place justice. Everything was exceptional. From check in to check out, it was all fantastic. The location was close to the beach, the bus and trolley stops and ABC store. Working with the owners was a breeze. They responded immediately to our questions and made our stay so enjoyable.We defintely are re-booking here in the future!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo is very comfortable, clean, well stocked and well maintained. Property management was very responsive. Location is great — right at the end of Waikiki area, with lots of restaurants and grocery options within walking distance. Lovely sunset views over the marina. Lanai is very small but works fine for two people to enjoy the view. Ask about construction status. We had a quiet Sunday, a bit of daytime noise on Monday, and really loud noise as we were checking out Tuesday morning. We totally understand it’s necessary maintenance, and management was good about answering our questions. Just be prepared so you aren’t caught by surprise. Overall a very good experience and we would return.

Unfortunately, the balcony was not accessible, and we were not able to open the window at night. So, the unit was really hot, air conditioning is too noisy to have it running all night. Furthermore, the construction guys arrived at 8:00 am to fix the balcony, in front of our window, making noise, which is not expected.

Condo was great! View overlooking the marina was fabulous! The ONLY downside was the parking garage. There was a literal traffic jam inside the parking garage, mostly due to the very confusing process of paying to park. Luckily, that was our last night & we had the process figured out but not everyone was so lucky. Other than that little snafu, we had a fantastic time! There were beach chairs, umbrella, & backpack in the condo so it made it super easy to spend the day on the beach. A wagon would be helpful so you could carry that to the beach but we loaded up our Jeep and off we went. It was an amazing time! 100% recommend!!

The place was at a great location, safe, but only problem I had was that dishes weren’t properly clean and it look like the carpet near the window was dirty a bit. The cleaning fee shouldn’t be so high especially if the cleaning person isn’t properly cleaning. Cleaning person also seem like they were rushing me out of the unit to clean and my check out was at 11. I tried to reach out to property manager after I check in but he never answered after I completed the check in process and it’s mentioned he was the go to person I cleaned the room washed all my dishes thoroughly with the exception of one small pot I left soaking in the sink because like I said the cleaning lady kept messaging me about when I was leaving . I don’t wear shoes inside that carpet needed to be shampooed, iron didn’t work either, and toilet paper holder was on the counter . Again it was a very nice place but they need new cleaners

Great property BUT listing when we rented did not say we could not use lanai or open the door or any window. Also workers and noise Monday thru Friday. I think we should have been given the choice to reschedule. Also, when we rented in May, the owners called 10 days before our arrival and said they decided not to rent. Needless to say airlines, home and pet sitting and travel had to be changed. I have used VRBO several times, and will continue to do so. We loved the view and the area.

Lovely, well equipped, responsive to questions. Over and above with trip suggestions. Helpful local support contact.Kitchen had all we would need, and several spices/oils.Fantastic view even though lanai was under construction.Uncongested and close proximity to beach. Easy parking in garage to the same level as the condo.

This unit was such a lovely place to stay. The location can simply not be beat. It is within walking distance to anything you could want. The unit itself provides necessities for cooking and some beach gear. The bed was comfortable, unit was clean, and overall it was a great stay. The unit has been beautifully renovated and I would recommend this property to anyone.

This condo at the Ilikai Marina in Waikiki has an unbeatable location with stunning views of the harbor and ocean. We loved being steps away from excellent restaurants — especially The Chart House, which we accessed right from the lobby. We went nearly every day for happy hour, sunsets, and live Hawaiian music.The condo itself was nicely furnished and comfortable. The box of Hawaiian chocolates was a sweet welcome, and the beach towels, chairs, extra bedding, and basic supplies made our weeklong stay easy and enjoyable.A few downsides: Communication was slow. A needed repair was handled the next morning, but only after three calls. I requested late checkout when booking (we had a red-eye flight), but didn’t get a response until the night before departure — and was asked to leave early. I was also double charged and had to contact VRBO and my credit card company to resolve it after no reply from the manager.Lastly, I had to move several bulky items (paint bucket, step stool, futon cushion, hamper) out of the closet to make space for hanging dresses and organizing shoes and purses. Thankfully, there was a utility closet to store them.Overall, the location and amenities were wonderful, but communication could be improved.

Great stay! Incredible view, updated kitchen, glad that it had some beach toys, and accessories to utilize, which made our stay a lot easier! Only wish that the kitchen had ammenities like oil, salt, etc. Hawaii is already an expensive stay, and we have always appreciated that our short term rentals have always left behind those things for us before.

The property was clean (some mold on bathroom ceiling) and as pictured indoors, but our stay was impacted by several issues. We were told the lanai construction had been completed on July 10 (I have a email). We arrived on Aug 12 but it was still underway, not usable, and on 2 separate days VERY noisy from the construction during the day. As in you could not be in the unit. Not having the lanai was very disappointing. I would have been out there whenever we were at the unit. You can’t tell in the photos either but it is TINY. Can fit one or maybe two chairs. We also discovered two separate areas in the kitchen with termite droppings. Despite reaching out, there was minimal communication for 5 days and there was no follow-up regarding extermination. So we just kept cleaning up the termite droppings. I have all of the communication on What’s app. We did receive a 30% refund, which we appreciated, but overall these problems affected our ability to enjoy the property. Overall it was clean and in a great location, but would not return.

This is a great little condo for staying near the Waikiki area it's just outside of the busiest area of Waikiki so it's not too hard to access and it's fairly relaxed nice little unit perfect for two people especially if you're out and about a lot and just need a place to crash it's absolutely perfect has a little kitchen a big refrigerator stove microwave hopefully stock a really good value and the convenient state for those who like to stay near but not in Waikiki this is the second time we stayed in the ilikai condos and we're probably going to do it again the next time we come
