Island Colony Reviews


Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: condo has all things needed for stay. Everything works. The Balcony (lanai) was fantastic, with great view of canal, city and peek at ocean. cupboards were adequately stocked. The bathroom had plenty of spare towels stored in one of dresser drawers. The internet and tv worked great. lots of places to shop and eat within few blocks walk. We did not use the ac but preferred the windows open and fans running (provided). Only thing that might be bothersome is this building has residents living in it. Some tend to smoke (marijuana) on balcony's and tends to drift into the room. If you are offended by the smell, it might not be the place for you.

This is a great spot. The price can't be beat. The restaurant downstairs is very tasty and convenient. I enjoyed the balcony and the hot tub. The room was pretty nice, but did have some areas that needed a little TLC. Our main concern was that the air conditioner was very loud and did not keep up well. We were often too hot. There was no thermostat so you have to leave it on to sleep but if it runs all night you might get cold and the noise may make it difficult to relax. The hosts were very responsive and checked the AC for us, but that is just how it is.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was as described at this rental. We did not find we were missing anything we needed in our room and everything was in good working order. We liked having the inside table space to use when the sun got too hot on the lanai. The little dishwasher was such a bonus to run dishes through nightly. We really enjoyed the BBQ's and pool area. There is a lovely little store in the building that didn't feel ridiculously expensive. The building felt safe, well organized and everyone was helpful. No issues that we had to deal with the management company on, but everything was smooth through booking and check in. We have already recommended this place to family!

Excellent location, nice and central in Waikiki and not too far from anything, yet away from the busiest and most touristy parts. The views are amazing from this top floor. You're higher than any other building in Waikiki, and there isn't a tall building directly across from the Island Colony to obscure any of the stunning vista. Some ocean view, great views of Honolulu and the mountains. Excellent to watch the Friday fireworks! Sunsets and night scene also a plus. Having the pool deck with cabanas and sun chairs, nice big hot tub, sauna, ample high quality BBQs, laundry facilities, etc. was awesome. It would be nice if the pool/hot tub area was open until 10pm, but 9pm isn't a deal breaker. Facilities were nice and clean as well. Some items could be added to the room's supplies, but overall it was well equipped and checked most, if not all, of the boxes. We would stay here again if we ever found ourselves back in Waikiki.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The booking and check in process was very easy. The unit is satisfactory to unsatisfactory. The deck area (where we spend most of our time) has dirty walls. The pillows on the patio furniture are thread bare. The microwave was old and rusted out and needed to be replaced. The kitchen dishes and appliances need to be thinned out and some replaced. The bathroom vanity collection of items need to be cleared out. More cleaning tools needed for long term stays. Pillows need replacing. Couch bottom cushion is very uncomfortable. While we were here the air conditioner and microwave were replaced promptly. Would we rent here again? For sure ....few updates are needed to make overall experience better.

I've stayed in Island Colony condos for the last three vacations. Will return. The kitchen sink in the bathroom is quite doable. A few more coffee cups and glasses would be nice. Overall, excellent value, comfortable, great view. 4 digit access code on entry did not work. Luckily Lei Hawaii Realty (host) had supplied us with a backup 4 digit code. Thankfully it worked, and we used it for our entire holiday.

Pluses: Location was within walking distance to everything in Waikiki. The ocean view and size of the deck were great. Well stocked kitchen (no kettle but use a pan to boil water). Nice to have for some lunches and breakfasts. Spacious unit. Minuses: There was a bit of traffic noise even on the 35th floor but that's to be expected in the big city. The couch that folds down to be a bed is very uncomfortable, so I'd say best to only have someone sleeping in the bed. There were some cosmetic issues that if fixed would have made this a 5 star rating: big holes in the bathroom wall where a towel rack should be hanging, peeling laminate on the kitchen shelving, and no dishwasher. Also, there were paint cans, tiles and the vacuum stored in the closet so there wasn't anywhere to put your suitcases, which was tough for 3 people. The dresser also had a few drawers filled with extra blankets/pillows so you couldn't use the drawers. Some drawers didn't open very well. After all is said and done, would probably stay again if the cosmetic issues were fixed.

The view is amazing. I have been in Hawaii earlier this year and I can say this was the best time. I will definitely stay here again and recommend it to my family and friends. My boyfriend and I definitely enjoyed it. Better then a hotel.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Driving to the appartment I feared we were going to be miles from anything, couldn't be further from the truth. Having checked in very easily we went to explore and get something to eat, within 5 to 10 minutes walk there are literally dozens of bars and restaurants serving anything you could want. The appartment is well stocked for 2 guests, and if you are staying more than a couple of days it is well worth going to the mall for a grocery run as the local stores are limited and pricey.The beach is 10 mins walk away and the area is very busy but the traffic noise is not a problem on the 39th floor. The two best assets of the appartment are the fantastic balcony with great views and a cooling sea breeze in the evening, and the 3 minote walk to the bus stop where buses serve the whole local and island areas. By far the best way to get around is a mix of easy walking and very cheap bus fares. The appartment is superbly placed for everything you would want and is priced really well for what it offers.

The bed was clean and so were the futon/couches. Amenities arent a high priority for us, so the space provided what we needed. The bathroom needs an upgrade, but that is okay. The cold and hot were fighting each other so the water kept going really hot, mid, then cold. If you want to take a bath, this is not yhe space for you. Overall the space was nice.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental unit was not a safe place to stay. The front door was not secure. It looked like someone had tried to break into this unit. Called the property manager but it really was not fixed properly. I did receive an email after I got home from Hawaii that stated that they were going to have the door replaced. The room is quiet old but the room was clean. Good location but the beds also need to be replaced. They are well used and very lumpy. Water pressure was good in the shower. Air conditioning was very noisy as was the ceiling fan in the bathroom. Could not sit out on the lanai because the air conditioner dripped water and with the breeze, you would get wet. This property is in need of repair and an update.

I almost believe this company is a scam. They sent us an email at 6:30am on Saturday informing us that there will be a TWO MONTHS water shut off from 8am-5pm Monday- Friday starting Monday morning. It was not an emergency water shut off, it was pre-planned Plumbing Project that affected the unit we were renting from the company. They were impossible to get ahold of. Their two emergency phone numbers listed on their voice mail were, one, an old employee who no-longer worked there, and one that went straight to a voice mail. I truly thank VEBO for stepping in to help us navigate this disaster, but if you are looking at any properties (because they have a few on this island), I highly encourage looking at other listings. They were impossible to work with, also their units were not that clean. Highly unsatisfied at this place. This reality company is a horrible company with a bad reputation. They will rent out units knowing there will be a major construction or water shut off without informing the renters.

This apartment has an amazing view and location in the heart of Waikiki. Admittedly the building/rooms are not the most updated, the price and value makes up for it, and did I mention the view and convenience?? Do note that the bedroom has A/C, but the living room has a few fans accessible. There were even some bonus features that were nice additions such as lawn chairs, umbrella, board games, etc.

We have stayed in Pacific Monarch several times now and can't beat the location! So close to the beach, shops and restaurants, as well as bus service just outside on Kuhio Ave. The room was nicely decorated and had everything we needed for our stay, including beach chairs and umbrella. The rooftop pool is also amazing with incredible views!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This clean vacation rental was in a quiet part of Waikiki. This rental had partial views of the mountains and ocean. The lanai was nice to sit on and watch the sun rise. We also used it dry our swim gear and towels in the Hawaiian sun. We loved the many amenities this rental had. The kids (teen and preteen)slept on the couches the first night but preferred the single foam mattresses kept in the closet the rest of the trip. We used the laundry which was operated using a debt/credit card. We used pool and hot tub daily. Very clean pool area. We used kitchen to helped us from not eating out as much; money saver. The kitchen didn’t have an oven which was fine but others may expect. Rental was within walking distance to shopping, the beach, and restaurants (Marugame Udon noodle was just a block away and was excellent). The rental was near several bus stops which we used extensively. We also rented a car for the day from an on site shop; how convenient. This rental was just what we needed for our Hawaiian getaway.

Location is perfect. Walking distance from everything in waikiki but without the noise and the crowd. The bus stop is very close. The Appartment is clean, has everything you need and having a terrace on 35th floor is a big plus. You don't see the sunset because of a tall building right in front of the sun but the view is wonderful anyway. Especially at night.

1: Bed was stiff and pillows flat (could spend $100 at Target and get mattress topper and 2 more pillows that were a bit better) 2: clean clean clean…until you get to shower liner (moldy on bottom. Could spend $10 and get replacement) 3: the balcony…😍omg…yes! Completely the reason (the rug in photo was rolled and placed in corner?) 4: the pool /hot tub were great (though some other guests like to play music at pool sometimes but not a dealbreaker at all) 5: the noise from street can get annoying with the street racers but that seems to only be around midnight then the cops show up (and you are on the 43rd floor so not bad) and that is not the VRBo fault. But noise in the unit is, well, none. Neighbors are very quiet. 6: parking is tight but just pay for the pass and park in garage, very safe, guarded. 7: location is perfect if you want to be close to stuff without tons of people all around (we walked to beach once, market once, and breakfast once). Within good driving distance of Diamond Head, lighthouse, Koko, and Pearl Harbor. 8: kitchen is good for what you will need. And it was clean. 9: bugs (none). Did not see a single creature fir 5 days. 10: elevators (once you figure them out they are quick…look for the red light). 11: extras: the store on 6th floor is good and toilet is AWESOME, there are extra sheets and towels in the drawers. 12: what could be done better: change shower liner, get mattress topper and more pillows, put in small show rack by door.

Secondly, the parking that was initailly emailed to me was $35/ night. When I got there, it was $40 and night. I just wish us well that the parking fee was included. In the whole entire scenes, we were renting it or staying in it for more than three days. There shouldat least have incentive or discount for it. Otherwise, the place is very accessible and walking. Distance to the beach and to the stores and the main roads.

While the stay was decent I would not rent from this reality again. The view was breath taking and the condos are quiet in a convenient area but there were too many other issues. Ended up getting locked out of the condo from a dead keypad with no way to reach even their emergency contacts, only 1 sales rep answered their cell after calling 15+ phone numbers and having to go to their reality office over a 5 hr span. No spare keys are given to security at the building therefore there was no way even the condo building managers/security could help. As well as there were dirty dishes in the cabinets along with broken glassware left from previous guests.

We were happy with this stay. The lanai was more spacious than we expected, and was very useful since our luggage and other stuff filled a lot of the interior room.

The interior was well equipped with a full kitchen. Although the condo itself was beautiful, clean and luxurious, the corridors of the building looked a little run down and unfortunately, the key code to open the front door didn't work when we arrived.

The futon were not the most comfortable but host provided 2 mattress topper and enough bedding to be used on the floor which worked out perfect for my group. The view was great. Only thing that might bother others is that there's only AC in the bedroom, but we left the windows in the living room and there were winds circulating throughout the night.

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: Loved our stay at this Island Colony unit. The view from the lanai is breathtaking and inspired us to do the hike up to Diamond Head (which I highly recommend). We were not expecting to use the pool because Waikiki Beach was only 3 blocks away, but we ended up going to the pool and hot tub daily because both are large and very well maintained. The store on the 6th floor and diner in the lobby were also really convenient. The kitchen area is quite small, so not recommended for big-meal production, but was useful in that we did not need to eat out every meal in expensive Waikiki. Alii Beach Rental customer service staff was helpful and quick to reply whenever I contacted them during our stay.

Despite the noisey air conditioer and the shower designed for people shorter than 6'4" the view made up for all that...

Super clean. Location is perfect right next to the beach. It had a breakfast spot right in the lobby, a market on the 6th floor, 5 min from beach, laundry and pool.

Great place to stay. A short walk to Waikiki beach. Abc stores abound but also close to marketplace. Local bus stop 2 min walk. Can catch that to Walmart. Away from main bustle of downtown Waikiki, but sirens still are frequent. Easy access to hotel, pool quite nice. Local shop on pool deck which was handy. Great to come home each day and see the ocean and Diamond head. Kitchen was very extensive although compact. Had everything you need for pasta, stirfry and simple meals.

This apartment had everything we needed and a comfy bed. We loved the big window that looks out to the mountains and the canal as well as the lanai with partial ocean view. The location is great. It’s a 10 minute walk to the beach and all the things. The pool and hot tub were a great way to end the day.

This place wasn't the worst place you could stay but I wouldn't stay here again. The location was the best part about this place. It was like a 15 minute walk at the most to anywhere you wanted to be, so that was really nice. It is advertised as "professionally sanitized" but when we arrived, there were layers of dust built up on things and there was stuff on the walls. It wasn't terribly dirty, just not as clean as I was expecting with the way it is advertised. The shower is absolutely horrible, it runs scolding hot and then will switch to freezing cold in an instant; which was mentioned in previous reviews and they said they would be fixing it but hadn't. The bed was totally uncomfortable, very springy and hard. And the communication was also lacking a bit. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place but it's not bad if you're low on options.

Patio door slid kept jamming up and beds were wobbly. Otherwise a simple place to stay for a week.

Not the most luxurious, but fair for the price. Parking is a bummer. Luckily we have a daughter who lives nearby and we could park elsewhere. The location to downtown Honolulu is awesome and the view is spectacular

Amazing location! Check in was a breeze. I had a problem opening my patio door and they came up right away and fixed it. Was absolutely perfect for our time in Hawaii!

We loved the view from the balcony! The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Likes the extra space in the room. Very close to all the fun things in town and walking distance to the beach! My only suggestion would be to have a few things to help with cooking, spices and such. Also there is a coffee maker but no filters to actually make coffee. It’s not fun to purchase those items for a week stay. Still give this a 5 star review and would definitely stay here again!

The host was super helpful always responded quickly and the location was the best. In the middle of Waikiki close to everything! Only thing we had issues with was the parking but I know they had someone fix as we were there.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Front desk told me 3 different things about the work out gym at the facility. Turns out to be cash only and only said that last minute never advertised it when checking in. The shower in the Airbnb itself does not work well. Water fluctuates between burning hot and ice cold but there’s a sweet spot of warm water but it doesn’t stay for long. The back door barley closes you basically have to pick the door up from the bottom and slide it across the whole thing and it makes a god awful sound

First time user of Vrbo and booking these trips. It was very easy and the place was beautiful. I received text messages and emails a few days before my trip. It was. Beautiful hotel

Our stay here was fantastic. The pictures of the view do not do the actual view justice ... the canal, beach, Diamond Head, sunrises, night time lights. Just amazing. The cool breezes from the upper floor made it so comfortable that we almost never used the ac (for the whole month of August). The gym, pool, hot tub and sauna were great to have just an elevator ride away. The nearby bus stops took us everywhere we wanted to go. Supermarkets are nearby (take the apartment phone number so that you are eligible for Safeway discounts). We are looking forward to returning. Thank you!

Checking in could not answer any of my question kept telling me to call the people that i booked with, wanted fresh towels got told call who you booked with. Floors were very dirty, rubbish shaved on side of the side of fridge, 0 on cleaning. 0 service set up. location was good great view. cheap set up. if it wasn't for the location and view i would have moved after entering the room.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: お部屋の眺めは素晴らしかったが、到着初日からベッドマットシートに血がついていたり、電球がきれていたり、シャワーのお湯調節がうまくいかなかったり、ゴキブリが何匹も出たりすることをレイハワイ不動産にメールしても返信が全くなかった。結局あまりに返信が無いため、レイハワイ不動産に直接行き、訴えたが対応が帰国日前日だったのでがっかりした。The view from the room was great, but from the first day I emailed Rei Hawaii Real Estate that there were blood on the bedsheets, the light bulb was out, the hot water control in the shower didn't work, and there were many cockroaches. There was no reply at all. After all, there was no reply, so I went directly to Rei Hawaii Real Estate to complain, but I was disappointed that the response was the day before I left Japan.

Perfect distance from the beach. We easily rented a car there but just walked around the city and beach on days that we didn’t. So many spots to eat and shop within walking distance. My husband and I were ready to move in to this cute apartment with the most incredible view of rainbows, ocean, mountain and city. Also a nice pool and hot tub after a long day! Also breakfast and coffee available downstairs for those tired mornings when you don’t want to leave the building. I accidentally booked the hotel one day shorter than we were staying on the island, but everyone was incredibly understanding of my mistake and helpful to get us a new room immediately! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay.
