Reservation, check in and check out were a breeze. The unit is centrally located, just a short walk from the Seaside Avenue in Waikiki, close to many shops and dining options. Great value and location! Definitely would stay there again!

Clean apartment, central location, big balcony, nice communication with the host, very good stay!If you aren't lucky and don't get a free parking spot at the Ala Wai Canal, you have to pay 45 for 24 hours in the parking garage... a bit expensive but that's not the hosts fault. Overall I can fully recommend this room!

Beautiful view from the balcony. Small, but clean and everything you need for overnight stays. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the room, so it was perfect for us.

It's not quite as nice as it seems in the picture, and the staff at check-in or a little bit rude. But if you want to stay in a place where the host is very responsive and helpful this is the place for you. I really appreciated how quickly Josh got back to me when I messaged him. Location is great if you want to stay in Waikiki but don't want to pay beachfront prices.

We had a good stay at this rental home. The home description was accurate and this review is based upon that description. Our family of 2 adults and 2 adult children stayed here for 3 nights. The price was reasonable considering hotel prices in the area. The rental home is comparable to a 1 bedroom suite with 2 pullout beds. Both kids found the pullout beds comfortable. The queen bed was also comfortable. The master bedroom is small, however the closet is spacious if to store suitcases after items are stored in the small dresser. The bathroom is beautifully remodeled. We found the vanity drawers in the bathroom very convenient to store our items as the counter space was limited. The home has a small kitchen. We did not cook, but did use some dishes and the coffee maker. We appreciated having coffee supplies as well as snacks provided by Josh! Parking was convenient, but not included. We found it was best to park on higher levels of the parking garage since parking spaces were very tight. We did not have a chance to use the pool or laundry on the 6th floor, but it looked very nice. We also did not use the beach chairs, but appreciated that they were available for use! The beach towels looked brand new. The home is within walking distance to Waikiki beach, and our favorite restaurant, Marugame Udon. The lanai is nice with a couch and 2 chairs. Nice views of the beach and the Ali Wai canal can be seen from the lanai. Checkin and out was easy

Our stay in Pacific Monarch 04 was nice. Good location and unit was as represented. Our stay is probably not a good representation of the property since construction was going on in the building and the adjacent high rise. The roof top pool was closed for renovation and fire alarms were being installed on our floor. Construction started in the early AM on the adjacent highrise with quite a bit of noise making sleeping past 6:30 unrealistic. Besides that, the folks at reception were very helpful and the Waikiki restaurants and night life was fun.

It was ok the pool area is very nice a bit far from the beach for seniors but managed.The drapes in the condo need to be replaced as they are dirty and we had to get help to hang them up right. Not a good impression when walking in and realized your staying for a month. It all worked out in the end. Would not stay there again. Sure some folks don’t mind disarray. D Bowman

The property manager was fantastic to correspond with and allowed us to check our bags into the suite early before check-in while we enjoyed the beach so that we weren’t hanging onto them. The suite was very clean, very cute and well decorated, and extremely comfortable. The deck off of the master bedroom was a phenomenal addition And looking out on the city in the waterway was absolutely stunning in the evenings. The walk to the beach is a very easy 10 minute walk. The suite came with shade umbrellas for the beach, chairs, pool towels. The only thing I would recommend bringing is a small cooler for the beach. The location of the suite was great for walking to restaurants and pubs in addition to the beach as well as shopping! I would highly recommend this sweet to families or adults. The pool area was very large, big pool, lots of cooking barbecues you choose to go that route as well as laundry.

We had a great time staying here. The property was very clean when we arrived, and all communication was extremely quick and helpful. We absolutely loved the location--super close to the beach, shops, and great restaurants. We hope to be back again soon!

Nice updated condo. Close to all beach areas. 49er breakfast was amazing in lobby. Had issue at check in but owners communicated within a few minutes. My only complaint was cleanliness. But kitchen was stocked with pans cups and utensils which was nice! View is beautiful and staff was friendly. Very safe. Hot tub was closed but pool was open :) Good value. Maintenance entered property while we were out for loud noise but no explanation was given which alarmed us but stay was generally good. Would recommend with attention to cleaning advised.

This was a clean and comfortable CORNER unit (less noise from other units) close to all Waikiki has to offer. Next to the canal so one could go for a run or bike ride right out the door. Unit was stocked well. There is coin-op laundry on the 6th floor and a small gym that will require an extra fee for use. We would book this again in the future. Thanks Josh!

I enjoyed my stay—especially the stunning views and great location, which were the highlight of the space. However, the patio lounge furniture was uncomfortable, which made it hard to fully enjoy the outdoor area. Also, the microwave placement above the refrigerator was awkward and not very user-friendly. Overall, a lovely spot with a few practical drawbacks.

1. Would I stay here again? YES! The condo was just as described in the listing and reviews. It IS in a city so there’s city noise to be expected here and there. It’s an easy walk anywhere on Waikiki. The beach chairs and umbrella were convenient and useful. It isn’t new but the lanai more than made up for any other little age/wear related things!

It’s a short walk to Waikiki beach. The place everything you need to cook if you don’t want to dine out and beach equipment. Parking is expensive and not very accessible to big cars.

This was such an amazing location to enjoy the night life with a short walk to the beaches! 10/10 would stay here again. The balcony is so peaceful with the faint sounds of traffic at night time. The sunrise coming over the mountains every morning is the cherry on top!

The views from the Island Colony condo were amazing. We could see surfers from the balcony and Diamond Head was front and center! It is very close to Waikiki beach, shopping, restaurants, and our tour bus pick-ups were just a couple blocks away at Ross Dress for Less. Everything we needed for a great beach day was in the condo so we only needed to grab and go. Definitely recommend this condo.

The location is great, close to Waikiki, restaurants and all the attractions but too small for two people, and there was hardly any closet space, we literally lived out of our suitcases. The view is amazing though, especially at night.

It was a good stay overall checked all the boxes: view, amenities and closeness to the beach! It was missing a few items like sponge, coffee filter, kitchen towel and property manager could show more aloha welcome. I had to ask for access information the night before check in.

We stayed for 10 days and were pleased with the accommodations. As others have noted the check-in process was a headache, the codes provided do not work. A message using the VRBO app to renter was returned within 15 mins with a new working code. The suite was nice enough, the view and balcony are why we chose this listing and we couldn't have been happier with that decision. Morning coffee watching the sunrise was amazing! Being on the canal and on the 43rd floor was nice to be away from the noise at street level. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the building - though its an older building it was well maintained and the staff are all very friendly. The pool was great to use when we needed a break from the beaches. The laundry area was handy, and the convenience store was also nice to have when we needed a snack/drink. The suite was clean for the most part, there was some spaces with dust but it didn't really bother us. The bathroom and shower could use an update, but we are not picky travellers and again this was not a problem for us. The water pressure other reviewers mentioned was not a problem for us, there was more than adequate water pressure. I would 100% book this suite again if we return to Oahu, and have recommended it to friends thinking about travelling to Oahu

The place was very clean. The location was great. The view was fantastic. The AC is not too good. I called about the blinds being broken, and the AC not working well, but never received a call back. The TV situation is really poor. A decent TV that you could mirror to would be pretty inexpensive. Overall we had a great stay. You could do a few things to the place that would make it more appealing to future guests.

Cross-breezes with balcony door and windows open allowed me 2 weeks without an air conditioner which was amazing!

This is a great spot to stay if you’re looking to visit Honolulu. Beaches are a short walk away, as are ample shopping, restaurants, and tourist attractions (I.e. Honolulu zoo, museums). The building’s pool and jacuzzi are free to use, and there’s ample space to sit and relax nearby (including 4 shaded cabanas that are available first-come first-served - highly recommend snagging one of these if you’re looking for a lazy day). The room itself is very comfortable and offers plenty of space for two.As is normal for the climate, we encountered a few roaches early in our stay. The hosts were great to deal with on this matter, and thanks to their assistance we had fewer roach sightings as our trip went on. Would gladly stay here again.

Disappointing first impression, unit appeared to have not been cleaned prior to our arrival (bed was not made and towels all over the unit) Due to our very late arrival we took care of cleaning it up and changing bedding so that we could get to sleep. In the morning I commented to the manager and cleaners were arranged for the early morning. By noon the unit was cleaned how it should have been right from the start. Very pleased with the communication and quick response to our concerns. Wishing our first impression had been better, but after the cleaning was taken care of the unit was great the rest of our time

We stayed a week at this property. Everything was as stated and was the perfect spot for our family to stay. Located close enough to all Waikiki has to offer. We enjoyed the views from the balcony every morning and evening! The pool was the perfect retreat after a busy morning. Most importantly the host Josh was very communicative and even offered a late checkout if needed. If we ever visit again, we'd certainly choose to stay here again!
