On third level there was construction noise. but the manager was so nice with us and moved us up to 11th floor where we had very nice condo with a great view. I really appreciated that. Very nice location

The location, convenient parking, and view was great. But the conditions of the bathroom and the building was average. The building is old and there were roaches. Maybe that's to be expected in Hawaii in an old building, but I personally couldn't sleep. Also, our water was turned off for nearby construction without notice so 3 of us didn't get showers one morning. I guess that wouldn't be a common occurrence, but the lack of notification was a problem. Parking was convenient but confusing, and the cost was $28/day, not the $23/day in the listing.

The illikai marina is NOT the same as the illikai, which means no pool access, BUT a very short walk to the beach and lagoon, easy inexpensive long term parking, and cool little pub in the building.

Unit worked out perfectly. Only issue was German Cockroaches mostly in the kitchen. It wasn't a deal breaker since I'm actually a pest control operator. I did let the management know. Otherwise it was great!

We live on the ocean and our avid voters ourselves, so the marine view was perfect for our four nights stay in Waikiki.

Well maintained unit with great view overlooking marina and Ala Moana Beach park. Bedroom separates from LR/DR/Kit area with large sliding door - very helpful for early risers v. sleepy heads! Clear check in instructions and helpful instruction in unit for laundry, trash, wifi, etc. Will use again in future.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The marina is disgusting with trash. The room has an ugly view of a a parking lot. Ali'i sent an employee in on my last day, unasked for. I believe it was to try to bust me for breaking smoking rules on account of I was out on the 'balcony' a lot. That was because the AC sounded like a jet engine spooling up (right next to the bed), so I didn't use it much.

The accomodation has everything you need. Large bathroom area, good size shower, large pTio door to small balcony. Has all the tv channels you need but you are a short walk to the beach so may not be essestial. It is in a busy and noisy area. Building itself is on the Marina but it is an older building. As stated in the ad the condo does not have view of Marina but of the mounyainside. Although condo is clean the building is showong its age. The air condioner is very loud when running. Overall very good condo.

We really love this part of town! A short stroll from Ala Moana Beach Park as well as the Hilton Lagoon. Our sunset views over the marina were lovely. The only issue was the incessant jackhammering from the Chart House below. Although we had looked forward to Happy Hour & pupus, the Chart House was closed for renovations. Yep, it was loud & bothersome, but hopefully our next trip will only provide sounds of chatter & lounge music from the restaurant below.

I would say overall it is a nice peppery inside the unit. The building is older but the inside of the unit was pretty good. The parking was pretty expensive just be ready. Owners were very responsive. There was a photo of a pool however there is no pool otherwise it was good to go with a beautiful view of the ocean. Very good location

Pros: Nicely maintained home. Good location. Extremely responsive / helpful property managers. Cons: Very old building, expensive laundry ($6.50 per load) , convenient, but expensive parking. Unit is well-maintained, however, lacking some basic amenities. There was only one small soap in the home. Only a small blanket that didn’t cover the pull out couch.

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: All went well from planning, renting, moving in and out. The location is our favorite on Oahu where we have spent over 40 mini vacations. Watching the sunset on the beach, a walk around the lagoon, and so many shopping venues within walking distance has made renting a car unnecessary. The bus is a hou e for farther distances. For our next Waikiki vacation we will request this unit.

Spring Break 2024. This condo was PERFECT for a family of four (parents + 2 teens). The location is close to everything in the downtown Waikki area. The lagoon is an easy walk. Nearby is a McDonalds and Hi Brew Coffee shop for easy breakfasts. The teenage girls LOVED the bed in the living area and said it was very comfortable. It was very quiet in the evening and a safe location with gated parking. The room overlooks the marina with amazing views of the ocean using the telescope from the bedroom window. The owner even called to help us with the check in process. the room AC worked perfectly. Wonderful towels and bath robes. Amazing. 5 Stars. The next time we are in Waikki we would love to rent again.

We loved our vacation in Oahu and this apartment was more then expected, the location as amazing easy walk to Waikiki beach and many restaurants and bars. Parking is in the same building and affordable compared to some other parking garage's. The host was fantastic and replied to my messages ASAP. I would definitely book again.

Superb room, and location. I was disappointed with the lack of staff, and the very small lobby “area”. Lack of parking attendant was frustrating.

- pros: a bidet!, mountain view is nice, the condo is spacious, it's a studio, but you don't feel like you sleep in the kitchen. The location is amazing - close to Ala Moana park, car rental in the building, luggage storage and ABC across the street. No physical door key was very convenient. - cons: cockroaches in the kitchen, had to keep all edibles and clean dishes in the fridge. Cracked paint, not sparkling clean. Bathtub could use some scrubbing.

Easy check-in and out. Nearby to bus stop and ABC Super Store. Was nice to be able to cook most of our own food. Note, as for spices there is only salt and pepper. The only time I heard noise from below was when we were on balcony, and I enjoyed hearing the band from the restaurant below. Was a perfect height to get view over the palm trees and not be looking right out onto the street. I would definitely recommend and stay again.

Weve stayed in another unit in this building but it was rented so grab ex this one and it didn't disappoint. The view is wonderful especially to see the fireworks on Friday night! It was clean and had all the amenities would need! Lovely place - thank you!

View was great and as shown in listing. Communication with Todd was excellent. Would have preferred to pay a deposit rather than the full amount a year before our visit. Condo was nicely decorated, but it could use a thorough cleaning and freshening. In downtown Honolulu with nice park in walking distance; very convenient parking.

We loved the unit and the responsiveness from management when there were questions. The laundry is not a coin laundry, so no need to bring coins like we did!

Place was clean and comfortable. Close to lots of shopping, beach and bars. Extra accessories in the closet and cupboards was a welcome surprise. Beach mats, cooler, umbrella, dishwash liquid and laundry detergent.

March 2024

Unit 1788 was as described. Unobstructed ocean & sunset view. Short walk to the beach but beware getting into the water-lots of rocks and coral. Water shoes would have helped. Close walking distance to a park, beaches, and shopping center. We only cooked breakfast and ate out most days. Utenisils and pots and pans cook use an update, nonstick pan surfaces were scratched. But who needs to cook on vacation? 😆 easy access to transportation. We didn’t have a car but took buses including to and from airport, perfect place. Just bring your own shampoo, conditioner, & soap; it’s not supplied, we checked before getting there since description didn’t include them.

March 2024

The condo is very average with a nice view. Very small balcony with a random chair on it but the view and sunsets are exceptional. The condo itself could use some upgrades but it had most things we needed and the location is convenient. It would have been nice to have some beach towels available for us to use and a more comfortable bed would have been nice for the nightly rate. We spotted quite a few roaches and other critters which is somewhat expected in the area but the management staff set up a trap and dropped off some Raid which was helpful! Overall is was OK. You are paying for the location and the view. There is no pool or amenities in the building.

Location: I love the location! It looks over the Marina and the Ocean. It’s right at the beginning of Waikiki Beach yet walking distance to all your shopping needs. Next door is a Red Lobster and Below is the Chart House and the Harbor Pub. (great Pizza btw.) There’s also a car rental just around the bend. The Condo: What I love about this place is that you can relax and enjoy your stay. Especially if you are traveling with kids. You’re not all worried that “the kids can’t move or they might break something or dirty that white carpet!” It’s nicely decorated with accents of a calming blue so you can relax and enjoy your stay. The only set back I had was that I gave the bedroom to my daughter and her husband. My grandson slept great on the single fold out bed and I took the pull out couch. Being that I’m older I found it a bit uncomfortable but the Hosts were so kind and attentive to my needs. They brought me 2 thick comforters which really helped. When they found out that at the last minute my 2 grandkids were coming , they bought 2 new boogie boards and sand toys. You definitely will find the “Spirit of Aloha” if you stay at this Condo.
