Great location. Restaurants and grocery stores near by. There were 4 adults in the room and it would have been nice to have another comfy chair to sit in. Dan was so nice to work with!

Fabulous location at the gateway to Waikīkī. Close to Ala Moana park/beach, shopping center, Hilton Hawaiian Village/ Friday fireworks. Easy in and out of Waikīkī with less traffic. Two bedroom apartment on the tenth floor was perfect. Nice morning sun with beautiful views of Manoa valley and the Koolau mountains. A/C was perfect for a comfortable stay/sleep after a day in the sun. Would definitely stay here again. Hosts were fantastic, flexible and responsive when we had a last minute change. Would recommend.

I wish the central air a/c was working the portable a/c units don’t work very well the place was not cooled off like we wanted too. The ceiling fans all they do is move the hot air in the rooms. It was hot at night couldn’t get a good night sleep. Had to call Julio to fix the portable a/c. Central air is the best way to go. Please get rid of the portable a/c units.Thank you

The hosts are a delight. For the price, this was a heck of a deal. The building feels very safe, the amenities are lovely.A few things to note, this is Waikiki. It's loud. The windows are the slat type so expect ocean breezes to blow the blinds around. We had quite a few late night wake ups due to unexpected noises.That said, if you're looking for a budget friendly apartment that is close to ALL Waikiki has to offer, this is an excellent option.

Nice location in Waikiki. Can walk into the madness without being there all the time.

We came to the island for a wedding but wanted a place to be able to stretch out in with our family of 5 (3 kids ages 12,9,7) and this was the perfect spot. Close to so much stuff that we basically walked everywhere. No free parking, but a paid parking lot was close enough that we were able to leave our rental vehicle to places. There is a rental car place right there that we would probably use if we ever came to the island again. I absolutely recommend this location and we were sad to leave.

This property is very well equipped and well maintained, located within walking distance of restaurants, shopping and beaches. The traffic noise arising from Kalakaua Avenue is somewhat bothersome at times.

The condo was well-furnished and clean. Near restaurants and a short walk to the beach. Nice to have snorkeling equipment provided. Only problem was very high traffic area with seemingly constant sirens and loud cars and motorcycles. Dan was a very good host and responded quickly to inquiries. Mahalo.

The place was very nice and it was close to the beach. It was close to the intersection and was very noisy at night. The windows don’t close which is normal for Hawaii so it was not possible to keep the noise out.

The overall experience was just okay. The condo is on a very busy corner so noise can be a problem if looking to relax. The furniture all looked new as well as most of flooring. There is really old router for internet and tv. The router kept overheating and we could not watch tv. The fire stick was nice except it wouldn’t work either bc the router was intermittent. I would have preferred some tables in living area. No where to sit your drinks but floor. The bathroom shower has been remodeled which was nice. The rest of the bathroom was not cleaned properly when we arrived. The wall coming in had spills, the floor needs steamed. The door had fingerprints all around the handle. The ceiling had a leak at one point and ceiling tiles needed replaced. Blinds in king room also had spills on them. Overall I guess the place just ok. But very noisy! Also we had a rental which could not be parked on the property. We needed to find parking which added 80 to our stay.

Loan and Lewis were fantastic hosts. They really went above and beyond to help us have a great stay. We had difficulty sleeping because of the street noise and they came and set up alternate window coverings which was helpful. The unit is very central and had everything that we needed. Thank you Loan and Lewis!

Location was noisy as the condo was on the second floor on the end close to 7 11 and 24 hour laundry mat. Busy intersection. Needed to use provided ear plugs to sleep. Bathroom needs to be updated. Upon arrival the handle to the shower fell off and the shower curtain was half of the width needed. Alyssa corrected the next day.The bonus was the location. Waikīkī Brewing was a 2 minute walk.and has good beer and casual vibe

Very loud even when all windows are closed. No hot water for showers - only luke warm. No parking which really sucks and we were not told about that until 2 days before arrival. Spices in cupboard were very old and nasty. Not enough variety for cooking.

My kids and stayed here for 5 days and it was perfect. It was clean and any questions I had were answered promptly. Everything is within walking distance and the food trucks across the street were amazing. When I rerun I will stay here again.

Pros: Price was good for location and size of condo, and the extra amenities were a nice surprise! Parking structure is right across the street so that was convenient. Cons: Condo needs some TLC - repair the outlet plugs and ceiling in bathroom. The emergency vehicle sirens were going off all night long, so I had to use ear plugs. All in all, it worked fine for our needs though!

My daughter and son in law live on the big island. My daughter needed surgery that can only be done on Oahu. This was a perfect two bedroom for us. The bus to the hospital is a little less than an hour, 20 minutes by cab. Most of e

This was my first stay in Hawaii. I was very pleased with the condo unit. It had everything we needed. The views were as shown, ocean from one direction, canal from the other. Both beautiful, in my opinion. I got answers to my questions and concerns about the rental process or what to do in particular situations in a very timely manner. It was in excellent condition on the interior. The beds were comfortable. There was a fair amount of traffic noise, However, the individual AC units helped mask it creating white noise for sleeping. We were really glad to have parking on the premises. And, we both liked having a convenience store nearby.The downside to this stay is more in the facility itself. Older building. Only one of the two elevators worked, resulting in lines during the busiest parts of each day. There was seldom staff found at the lobby desk. Not necessary, perhaps, but would have come in handy on more than one occasion. Personally, have not stayed in a place where the door to the pool area locks you in there, can't get back into lobby without your key fob. And, the lobby bathroom had a combination that I had to wait for days to get--once someone was at the front desk. That would have been very handy to have as well, especially when the lines for the elevator were long. Overall, I would recommend this VRBO unit. The things that were lovely and convenient outweigh the inconveniences, and lack of amenities one might usually take for granted.

The location put us pretty near everything, but with it comes the traffic noise. Missing a can opener but otherwise well stocked kitchen. Comfy beds. Could benefit from a good cleaning and shower repairs.

February 2025

Basic property but had everything that we needed. This property was great for us location wise. Easy walk to the main area of Waikiki. Yes it was a bit noisy especially if you don't live in a city/town but nothing that we didn't get used to in the 8 nights we were there.
Colleen Joyce G.
February 2025

The condo was in an excellent location and was very clean. The food trucks were close by and serve delicious food. The only downsides were the noise, definitely don't recommend for light sleepers. Also the beds were not the greatest. 1 was very firm while the other was very soft. Overall though we enjoyed our stay and Dan was excellent with communication.

Good location, close to everything. Very clean. Only drawback is the noise of Waikiki - but that comes with the location! A few more hooks for hanging wet towels would be a bonus.

The listing of this property is exactly how it is in real life! The property manager was amazing with responding to any questions we had! The only downside was no parking included.

January 2025

We loved how comfortable and cozy the condo was. We stayed for 2 weeks and it became our home away from home. The sound of traffic and sirens at night didn’t really bother us with A/C units in the bedroom that drowned it out. The condo literally is right in the heart of downtown Waikiki so we were close to everything and could just walk everywhere including the beach. We rented a car since the condo provides parking. It’s compact parking so make sure you rent a sedan or compact SUV. We will definitely would love to stay here again when we come back.

Perfect, great location. The hosts thought of everything you might need in a place.

I will start by saying that the price of this rental was not the worst, so if price is your primary concern it is worth considering. The location was also nice with lots to see and do nearby. Parking was a major hassle. The beds are rock hard. The handle in the shower is broken. The street noise is VERY high all night. The unit has almost nothing in regards to kitchen essentials. Had to buy coffee filters as there weren’t even any of those. Just generally run down with mold behind and around the sink, a heavily stained hanging ceiling in the bathroom and hot bedrooms as the AC only cools the living room and kitchen.
Lindsay C.
January 2025

We received check-in and check-out instructions that contained wrong codes and information. Fortunately Julio, the property manager was very helpful and responded quickly. The property is very small and cluttered with closets full of stuff so there is no place to hang clothes or even lay out a suitcase for a couple days. Kitchen was very greasy and dirty and needs more attention. Bathroom ceiling tiles are developing some very serious black mold. As stated in the listing there is a lot of traffic noise, but we didn't realize how terribly noisy it would be 24 hours a day. Even the AC running and sound machine would not cover the street noise. We did appreciate the free parking.

There were five of us and it worked out well. Appreciated the beach chairs and towels. The views from the apartment were great (as pictured). Located close to the mall and beach. The parking for our rental was right across the street.

January 2025

The condo unit is lovely, bedding and linens were clean and plentiful, beds were comfy so were the pillows they provided extra beach towels and beach toys, location is good just remember you are in the City and it’s going to be noisy, the food trucks across the street are awesome and the location is the perfect starting point for any adventures or close enough to just walk down to the beach or any number of places to eat including a market with ready to eat deli.I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a good deal.
