The unit is nice and clean. It is like all the units in the building. The plus of this one is the parking spot which saves $45 a night. The parking spot is tight so get a smaller car. View is nice but only the 3rd floor so not spectacular like higher floors.

We had a wonderful stay. The condo was on Waikiki Beach and we had an ocean view. Very nice and comfortable. We paid to park across the street which was perfect. We enjoyed having shops and restaurants nearby.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: My husband and I did stay at many Waikiki Shore condos within the last 8 years. This is one of my favorite units so far. Don ́t worry about 2nd floor location, the park views are awesome and the fact that you can use the stairs is a real ++(you sometimes have to wait extremely long for one of the lifts). The unit was clean and we've been surprised to find, salt, pepper, paper towels and dish soap in the kitchen as Lei Hawaii told there wouldn ́t be any. Parking at Fort DeRussy is another +. I've felt at home at unit 208 right from the beginning and wished I could have stayed longer. Love it. Only dilemma: the frontdoor of the refridgerator definately needs to be repainted as the rust bloom disrupts the great overall look and is extremely visible. Besides this it ́s +++ 👍

Having a garage space below was very handy to get to the car versus the parking lot across the street, especially since it rained a lot while we were there. Good value overall.

The location and views from 2 balconies are great. Beach behind bldg is convenient. Provided beach towels in unit. Lovely park and army museum next door. Easy walking to shopping and free HI dancing performances. AC needed repsir which the did immediately. King bed not in bedroom which was disappointing. A few roaches seen. Provided shampoo, laundry detergent, coffee, dish soap. Location and views were the best thing!

This was by far one of our best stays throughout our 2 week journey traveling the Hawaiian islands. The location and panoramic views of the ocean and diamondhead rival those of the fancy hotels nearby. Loved this penthouse so much tried to book ahead of time for December 2024 and it's already booked the entire month - a year in advance! TEN STARS!

Thank you Paul-san as always.The 1310 I stayed at this time was also spacious, comfortable, and clean.If I only give feedback on 1 point, it's hard to find the location of the recycling/bottle box, so I think it would be nice if there was guidance.I'm sure I'll be back soon.

The good: Kind and responsive host. Location (as long as you want to be in a busy city and deal with traffic to get elsewhere each day). Clean. Proximity to a lot of city options (food, clothes, gift shops, etc). Price seemed fair. The not so good: traffic. The second bed/pull out sofa. I have had a pull out and it was much more comfortable. This one is not very sleep friendly - you feel the bar, springs, it makes LOTS of noise when you move, etc. RECOMMEN DATION if you do go there, put the mattress from the pull out sofa sleeper on the floor. Not classy, but we managed to sleep that way much better than when it was on the frame. If the host would improve the sofa, it would have met my expectations. To the host: thanks for your responsiveness and letting us stay in your Condo.

Trieu was a great host. The condo was impeccable and the view could not be beat. Being steps from several surf breaks and board rentals just downstairs was super convenient. It’s also the best location for viewing the Friday night fireworks!

My husband and I had the pleasure of spending two weeks here for our 25th anniversary. This location was perfectly situated on Waikiki beach and within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shopping, and more. We had everything we needed, full kitchen, washer/dryer combo, lanai that has views of both the beach and the park. Randy had beach chairs, beach towels and snorkeling gear available in the room as well as some basic toiletries. Parking is not included, but there is easy parking directly across the street for a reasonable fee. Randy was responsive from booking through check-out, within minutes. All instructions for check-in, check-out, accessing things inside the room, etc. were easy to find and follow. Highly recommend this location and we're looking forward to returning.

This has become our home away from home with an annual visit to see our son. We absolutely love this property, the views, location, living space and amenities are outstanding! Friday night fireworks are really spectacular! Communication with property owner is seamless and he was extremely patient with our delayed arrival due to heavy traffic. We will continue to book annually.

Loved the location, view, amenities. One small suggestion...replace cushions on lanai chairs. It was a bit uncomfortable sitting in the high chairs for a longer period of time, which is what one wants to do to take in the fabulous view.

Condo is very nice, plenty of towels and very clean. Check in was a bit rough as the keys and parking pass were not in the lock box. Security at the condo was able to let us in after making several calls. Lei Hawaii Realty did deliver the keys and parking pass that evening and reimbursed parking and gave a credit for the inconvenience. Rest of the week was great but still waiting for the security deposit to be returned as they said it will take 2 weeks for the cleaning people to check the condo.

First of all Tommy is a 5 star host, he communicates with you on everything and he’s a phone call away if you need something. This property is amazing, the views are indescribable, I love the floor to ceiling windows that open all the way so you have no barrier to the beauty outside, the location is perfect it’s conveniently located by the Royal Hawaiian center, the main shopping area, lots of restaurants and beautiful shops. You do not need a car unless you want to explore the rest of the island, we walked everywhere in Waikiki. Also on the first floor you have steak shack which was a great meal for lunch or a quick dinner, banan which is ice cream made from banana (which my dairy allergy daughter loved) and tribal which served coffee and açaí bowls all conveniently located downstairs. We used the pool and hot tubs next door at outriggers and it was no problem and super convenient with the walkway that crosses over from the first floor of the condo complex. I would start and end my day sitting outside on one of the two balconies and the peace from listening to the waves and watching the surfers and boats on the water was exactly what I was looking for on this vacation. We would see sea turtles almost every morning off the living area balcony, we had a monk seal named kaiwi come up on the beach right next to the condo and rest for the day. You will not regret renting the condo for your trip, I will definitely stay here again.

One minute walk to beach and in a very busy location. On site parking was convenient. Property manager was in a hurry, but was not intrusive and not needed. View was superb. Furniture dated with stained couch cushions. Washer and dryer very noisy. Old refrigerator. Would be five stars with improved furnishings and appliances. Kitchen was supplied with ample utinsils. This unit will do the trick!

This room was spacious with a great view and location! It is beachfront and walking distance to many amenities. The property manager met us at the resort and there were no issues. There is no concierge or front desk services we could see. It is the building right beside Waikiki Shores. I'm not sure if it is affiliated as we were told we were not allowed to use the pool at Waikiki Shores and there was no pool in the building we were in. There was an ABC and restaurants and a bar we could use there which was nice. The room is as advertised. We only stayed for three nights. We had wanted to do some cooking but with the expense of buying everything including salt & pepper ended up being not cost effective. There was no coffee or coffee filters in the room. The coffee maker wasn't working, but they did replace it for us. There are no beach chairs or umbrellas provided. There were only 2 or 3 rolls of toilet paper. Overall we would definitely stay there again. There were just some little things that could be improved on to make it have a more welcoming feel.

Great location, just a few steps to beach, shops, eating and coffee. Very small view of ocean as trees block view (higher floors would not have this problem. A bit noisy from patio--people, traffic.
