We stayed for a month and after the first week they locked our lanai due to construction that we were not aware of. Some days it was so loud we had to leave.

Great harbor view, good location, lot of restaurants within walking distance. San Poala pizza a must go. The Chart House on flooor 1 has live music every night. Right across from Hilton lagoon. Waikiki strip1 mile away. Beautiful sunset location. Condo has private bedroom and sofa bed was good for 13 year old. Kitchen had everything we needed. Very clean. It is older but everything worked fine. Quick and easy communication with management. Able to get in a little early and stay until noon on Checkout.

The stay was wonderful!There are a few items to improve:1. To lock door when leaving the condo, enter code.2. Parking cost has increased from 28 to 33 per day.3. Handicap parking is located on the 7th floor.

Stayed for a week. Everything was convenient. We Uber for the first few days and then decided to get a rental car. One of the elevators was down when we were there so the wait time was a little long, but not too awful. Having parking on site was a plus for no charge

This is our second stay at this condo. It’s in a great spot, beautiful views over the marina, close to shopping and the beach. The condo is comfortable and has all we needed, although it is looking a little worn in places. It is very noisy in the morning with garbage trucks and traffic and there was construction work being done right below our lanai the week we were there so it was difficult to stay in the condo during the day. But we still enjoyed our visit very much!

Great location in the heart of town. Amazing view of Ala Moana harbor. If you’re staying on a Friday night you will have a perfect view of the fireworks show. The unit is very clean and the kitchen is well equipped. There is no washer and dryer in the unit so you’ll have to go to the laundry room. It can get very noisy at night, (especially on the weekends) even with the doors and windows closed. Parking can be a hassle. I recommend getting a multi-day pass. But you don’t need a car. There is a bus stop around the corner to take you to other parts of the island and you can walk to most of the popular place in town. Overall it was a good place to stay for the price and the location.

Jack's condo was perfect. Great location, very clean and well stocked. To have a parking garage in the building is a major plus. And with the convenient access to the unit even better! Yes, you do pay for parking but I felt it wasn't expensive. The beach and lagoon are very close. Restaurants everywhere and the Chart House entrance is in the Condo lobby. ABC store a block away.Thank you, Jack for a memorable stay!!Ever

Perfect convenient location. Views spectacular. Had 2 sets of adults but only one blanket on arrival. Additional blanket delivered later 2nd night. Communication very slow with realtor. Stated we would get an email at 5 days and 1 day before arrival with a specific 4 digit code for room- never received. But the view made the stay. Convenient to beaches and other POI.

Location is perfect for beaches & sunsets. Accommodations were comfortable except for the bed pillows. Unfortunately, during our stay there was construction going on during the 1st week of our stay without any notifications from property management, noise started way too early & lasted most of the day. Other than that issue, I would stay again.

Very nice. Parking was a separate cost which I didn't know. I either missed it or the listing didn't say. My check in email went to my spam box and I haven't seen check out instructions at all.

My husband and I stayed here for 1 week with our 10 month old baby. The Ilikai hotel is really nice and in a great location. The lobby is nice and there is a great coffee shop, ice cream shop, and poke place right inside. The unit itself is a nice space with a great view. The furniture is a bit dated, but we don’t mind that much. However, the floors were very dirty. Within the first few hours of unpacking our suitcases and getting settled we noticed that the bottom of our feet were completely black and filthy. I’m glad we brought our pack and play because we were not able to put our crawling baby down on the floor. I understand that this is a beach location and some sand will be tracked in, but this was not just beach sand. The floors were incredibly dirty and that was disappointing.

We had trouble checking in as the pass code didn't work at first. The listing said the property had a pool which it did not. On our 2nd day we tried to leave the room and the deadbolt had broken shut so we could not get out of the room. We contacted management company about this but the person contacted did not understand our problem. I told her to get someone to contact me as it was unsafe to not be able to exit the room. I never heard back from them. With the help of building security we were able to dismantle the lock system. We moved out that day due to unsafe conditions and incorrect listing of property amenities and notified management company of our departure. We found another spot nearby. The best thing I can say about the management company is they did credit us with a full refund.

The unit was a little dated, but very clean. Harbor view was great. Kitchen was functional, but we had to buy a baking pan. No bathroom fan, windows are poor quality and lets in all the heat in the afternoon as sun sets on window side, so you have to crank AC, or close the view. Queen bed is OK, not real fluffy or bouncy, but not too firm. The big downfall is the sitting furniture. The couch is more a lounger, too low, and too far back with no armrests or pillows to adjust. The wicker chair is too deep, a very thin seat pad that doesn’t match the shape so tends to want to slide forward. We made it work by using the sleeping pillows for a seat pad and back supports. Lastly, there are no directions for using the TV. We struggled with using our Yoitube TV Acount every day. Two controls, but not sure how to use them or when. Kept pushing buttons with nothing happening.So we said the unit is OK because there should be bathroom fan, TV hard to control, and window heat. Also note only one plug in in the kitchen. Outside the units , elevator is very slow, but parking was 33/24 hours. A little hard to figure how to do it, but staff is very helpful. Just know that you first get an hourly ticket, then have to walk to a machine on the wall and purchase a 1-5 day “in and out” previledge ticket. When you first leave you scan the original tick, then the multi day tick and only the multiday ticket afterwards.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was lovely, clean and modern. The location is central, close to the Ala Moana park that has excellent swimming, and an easy walk also towards the Wakiki beach area. Unfortunately it proved very noisy. The restaurant bar below us closes around midnight and then the patrons stand outside and talk in very loud voices. Crews showed up late at night (4:15 a.m) to trim the palm trees, operate blowers etc and generally make a huge amount of noise. The view from the condo looks right down on a variety of boats in various states of disrepair with floating garbage surrounding their hulls. It wasn't the "marina view" we were expecting. This condo in a different location would be superb.

The location and view were fantastic—both 10/10. However, the overall experience was disappointing. Check-in was delayed, and I was given the wrong access code, which caused unnecessary stress. The property was not properly cleaned, aside from the beds being made. Unfortunately, due to these factors, I would not recommend this vacation rental.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the marina view and lower level of the condo. We could hear the street noise and hustle and bustle of the marina (which was a plus for us). The location was central to all amenities. We loved it and will return in the future!We wished that the property had a few basic amenities like Salt and pepper, cooking oil and coffee filters. It also needed some cleaning supplies since we were there for 9 days and no housekeeping was provided. We cooked often and the only cleaner provided was a kitchen sponge and Dawn dishwashing liquid. A bottle of windex would have been helpful since the dining table, coffee table and all end tables were glass. Also a swiffer for cleaning the tile floors would have been very useful.

This was a surprise trip of a lifetime for my family members celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. The photos appeared to show wall to wall ocean views, but it seems if you know what to look for you would notice that it was one wall of windows and mirrors on the other side. The photos of this location are not accurate with cleanliness. There were clearly urine deposits all over the toilet facilities. The stove was encrusted in burnt debris and when it was turned on the smell was so bad that it had to be shut off and the food was throw out and they went out to eat. The broken binoculars were chained up (not sure why you leave them there if they are broken). All of the furniture was stained and some had small holes in it as well. On a good note- the bed was very comfortable, the pillows were amazing and the refrigerator was spotless. The parking garage was very secure and the check in/out process was simple. The location was great as well. If it had been clean it would have been a 5 star rating, unfortunately that was not the case.

We enjoyed our stay more than we thought we would. It was quieter than we thought it would be, being so close to bustling Waikiki. This condo faces the ocean and harbor which we loved, but it also reduced the noise. We loved watching the sunsets, the boats coming and going, the fireworks, and being able to walk everywhere! The building is older, but i think it helped reduce the noise. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location and awesome view of the quay and the sea and especially of the sunset. The unit comes with everything that we need for a weeks stay. Would love to stay in this unit again during our next trip to Honolulu to visit our daughter.

Good location, near the beach, and Ala Moana shopping mall. Might be a bit of a walk to the main Waikiki strip of restaurants and shops for some people, but we walked a few times to the other end of Waikiki beach and Diamondhead, so it depends.Great communication with the owner Jack.

The size was perfect for 2 adults and 2 small kids. The location is nice. The property has adequate utensils for use and cooking if need beThe lanai is small (you can’t stretch your legs, perfect for standing) but the location is nice. The property is old and comparatively cleanThe TV is old /not a smart tv. Impossible to use. At this price the tv could have been better. The bed and mattress are at breaking point. The mattress is uneven and uncomfortable. The bed makes a noise that will wake you up. Over all apart from bed and tv everything was good I may not choose it again because of the bed and tv, if it doesn’t bother you the property is otherwise great.
