We enjoyed our stay. We had an excellent owner who was very nice and helpful.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit it not in any shape renovated. The furnitures, bedding and kitchen ware are outdated. Not enough towels considering it is near the ocean hence we’ll be needing these to use back at the unit. Your thermostat pad goes in and out- doesn’t work properly. Check in instructions is not clear even through multiple communications by email (several emails) and . the app. There’s no home stay here, it’s just a Skelton of a place. The price is fair but that’s where they get you, the fees, on top of another fees on top of other ridiculous charges and the $300 deposit which takes almost a month for refund. Such a big disappointment for a great location. I will not stay here at this unit with this property again! I’m glad to take my money else where it’s worth it. This property owner needs to put some home feel and make your guest feel like they’re on vacation and not a motel.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Even though this is not our first trip to Honolulu, it's our first time staying at Ilikai Marina and the 10 day stay here was indeed most pleasant and memorable. The location is strategically close to both Waikiki as well as Ala Moana Mall (and within walking distance to Don Quijote where my husband love to shop). From the apartment lanai, one has the most glorious view of the sea, the dock and the sunset(which is one of the reason I chose it). We love the layout of the apartment with the self sufficient kitchen where we were able to cook scrumptious meals for our daughter and son in law staying in Honolulu. We would definitely opt to stay with them again for our future trips.

Stayed at the property - condo for a few nights. I love the surrounding property, walking distance to just about everything within reach, and this location is a tad away from the main Waikiki, which is great! However, let me tell you all of disappointments. The communication sent from the property with check in instructions is poor, even through email and in their app. It supposed to be newly renovated as it’s in the description. Well not sure what has been renovated. Furniture is outdated, window covers is from the 80s, bed felt like it’s used from college dorm, not enough towels, the thermostat pad goes in and out- doesn’t work properly, and I could go on and on. The price per night seems fair but man read the fine print cause fees, service fees, other ridiculous charges. You might as well stay else where for the amount you’re paying. To say it takes just a second for them to debit and charge for the deposit however it took almost a month for my deposit to be refunded. I have never experienced this type of home stay and will be gladly take my money else where. Will NEVER stay at this property unit again!

Properties on VRBO can be like playing roulette and this time we hit the jackpot!!!! Beautiful home shows how the owner cares about their property. Location is great!!! FYI: the condo is 2 floors above the Chart House restaurant and the street. The noise level peaks when restaurant is busy and when people are going to the beach. Very minor. Will be back!!!

The view of the Marina and the Hilton Lagoon is amazing. We could walk to the beach, shopping and restaurants. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

This is a great location and property for a couple. So many places you can walk to and the ocean and a lagoon very close. The property was very clean and bedroom was separated from living room that made it more convenient for someone sleeping on the pull out sofa.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in your condo! Except for the warped blinds, everything was perfect. The view was wonderful because we are boat lovers and loved watching the activity around the marina. We enjoyed the convenience of 2 great restaurants and an ABC store right down the street.

Location was ideal and the condo was clean and updated. Views of the fireworks from the balcony Friday nights and a short walk to Waikiki and Ala Moana center. All pickups for excursions were easy as well since most picked up at either the prince or the Ilikai. Janna was super quick on responses and very helpful. Initial instructions were clear and detailed. You have everything you need including beach chairs, an umbrella and lots of beach stuff. Laundry was super simple - next time I’d pack lighter and use the laundry. There is recycling on the 7th floor, but we were missing a container to carry it up there - would be nice to add a bin. Overall , and excellent stay and experience.

The refrigerator stopped working, the blind to the sliding door broke and the bathtub was moldy. There were roaches in the front room. We tried to make the best of it. With all that it was an amazing ocean view

The unit is in need of updating, however, everything worked and the unit was clean. The view of the ocean is awesome. The view of the harbor is heart breaking, because it's polluted. Filled with debris (mostly trash and dead fish) and needs to be cleaned. Overall, our VRBO experience was very good.

Early Check-in was available in our time of stay. Easy to get Ala moana center also bus and trolley stop . We can direct access from the second floor of this buliding to Ilikai hotel. The mattress was so comfortable. Our stay of Hawaii was only 10 days. It’s too short to request for fix the problems below. We found over three baby cockroaches in the kitchen. they are breeding in there probably. There were dishes dirted by the previous users in the cupboard. The temperature display of the oven had been scratched, so we could not handle it. The bad smell from the drain pipe of the kitchen The door of the bathroom would not be locked. The toilet lever dead cracked and we had to be careful when using it. The drawer of the bathroom sink is cracked and rusty, so we could not use it. There was no plug of bathtub, it was unavailable to fill a bath. There was still a dirty stuff made from hairs of the previous guest in the hair catcher. The clock on the wall had been broken. The light stand was unavailable. The handle of the drawer of the side of the bed was broken. The most terrible problem I have to report was that the lock on the window door to the balcony was rusty and did not work, so we could not lock it during our stay. At the worst case, it could be cause the serious safety problem in my opinion. However, we enjoyed our vacation. Mahalo!

Location, location, location! This condo is in a prime spot on Waikiki allowing easy access to Duke’s Lagoon and the beach! A beautiful view of the harbor right out your patio window with a priceless sunset view and Hilton’s Friday night firework shows!! The beds were super comfortable! Our kids slept on all of the pull outs and they said they felt like real beds. We cooked several breakfasts and lunches in the condo to save on meal costs and it worked great! ABC store is within walking distance and you can get most everything you need there, we did a Walmart delivery the day we arrived and it worked perfectly and our groceries were brought right to the condo door! Keep in mind that the laundry is on the 8th floor so not in the condo, we didn’t want to take the time out of our vacation to sit up there so we did not check that out, but keep in mind that it is available. All in all, great space for the amount of time that you are in your condo and usable for what you need while there. Thanks, Reny!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location is great, parking is easy, rooms are clean, communication is smooth and response is very fast. Love this place!My suggestion is that instead of providing one soap pad, please leave a few more. one small pad is not enough for a family of 4 people for both hand washing and bathing.The good thing is that there is a ABC store near the corner, we just went there and bought a pack.Another thing may be mentioned is that the owner does not provide tea or coffee bags. Again We went that ABC store bought some coffee pound.

One of the best locations for a stay in Honolulu/Waikiki! Great choice of food at the property and nearby, shopping, self parking is minutes away. The property is clean and nice, and the view from the balcony is simply amazing!

They responded when we had any issues, the parking was an issue cause online says one thing but we you try to purchase a daily pass you had to pay more. We parked on the harbor parking right down the street. It was a good location & overall basic if you won’t be staying that long in the room cause at the building there’s not much to do.

Neigbourhood noise to be expected

We stayed almost a month and enjoyed every day! So many stores, restaurants and live music within walking distance. The condo is high up and on the water side so it’s quieter than most places in Honolulu. We needed a few extra items for the condo and they were delivered our first day. We enjoy the condo so much that we have stayed there twice so far. We bought a monthly parking pass for $150 at the Ala Wai Boat Harbor (at the SecurePark office). Plenty of pass parking right in front of the Ilikai Marina Condos. Parking in the condo garage is $840 per month. Perfect view of the Friday night fireworks next door at the Hilton. A perfect vacation!

The property was very clean, and we were able to access it very easily and quickly. It is in a centrally located area, only a short walk from either Waikiki beach or the Ala Moana shopping mall. It has great sunset views. The major downside, as others have noted, is it is very loud. Between the bar/restaurant directly below the property and the traffic on the road, it can be a challenge to get a good night's sleep. If you're not a light sleeper, this property is definitely worth considering.

We had a lovely stay at this neat little condo. The decor was very nice. It has an open concept, but you can close the shoji doors for privacy. There is a beautiful view of the marina. It has central air conditioning, but it would get warm as the sun hit the windows. Other than that the place was perfect. It was great to have a parking spot. Parking is extra, but worth every dime. We took advantage of the bus system and road buses to town too. We will definitely stay again.
