No idea where to stay. Used Google map to be near where relatives were staying. Worked out to be perfect location.

This property is in a perfect location! Steps away from the beach with a lanai that feels like you are right on the water. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You don’t have to travel far for good restaurants and activities. The beach amenities could be a little more plentiful and the tvs could be updated, but overall still 5 stars. We will book this property again.

Staff was very professional! Vincent greeted us and helped us with check in and parking. Paul followed up the next morning and made sure everything was going smoothly. Shops and restaurants were within walking distance. We will definitely stay here again! everuthingeveruthing we needed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our second time to stay at Waikiki Shore--first time in 408. Would choose a different unit next time for several reasons. Would stay on a higher floor for better views. Also, this unit was sparse with kitchen items--not enough drinking glasses, minimal silverware. Pots and pans need replacing. Things we really liked about the unit was being able to use the large walk-in closet. Having the extra storage was a huge benefit. They provided ample supply of laundry detergent and dishwashing products.Of course, the location is great. Captain Cook also provides beach chairs, which was helpful.

This property is exactly as advertised and it is AMAZING!!! Perfect for two people and within walking distance of so many things - restaurants, museums, groceries, and more! My favorite part was the lanai - we had the perfect view of Waikiki's Friday night fireworks. We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property and this host.

The place was spectacular. From location to the details inside. Everything was comfortable from the beds to the appliances. Enought of everything amd if there was something we needed it was a simple reach out. Communication was best we have experienced, and very thourough. The beach was an elevator ride away with a very delicious teriyaki grill spot downstairs. Sunsets are speachless and the fireworks show was a great start to our trip!

Condo was 3 star property, musty inside, used scented candles to help. Waikīkī beach is gone, most all beach south of the Fort is gone. The walkway along the beach front is closed, mostly under water. 15 years ago and there was 100 yards of beach. Waikīkī is sinking and environmental studies have no solutions

Lovely condo. The owner Trieu was helpful. I had my son, daughter-in-law and 3 year old grandson with us. The condo had everything we needed for special family fun. I cannot think of a better location. The building is on Waikiki beach and within walking distance of amenities. Trieu, thank you for sharing your home!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I've stayed at a lot of places on Oahu, and have lived on Oahu. BE AWARE of the check in/key fob/parking process, and you'll be happy with this place. To have parking so close, this is huge. Washer and dryer, huge. Location, proximity, and access to the beach... you could not ask for much more. I have wanted to stay at Waikiki Shores forever. I would stay at this unit again in a heartbeat.

We were blown away by the fabulous 3-sided view from this penthouse. Our party included my husband and me, our son, his wife and his two children, 13 and 10. Their main thing was the surfing, which they did right in our backyard every day. The beach was beautiful and we were also convenient to the main downtown area with its shops and restaurants. We enjoyed Pearl Harbor, climbing Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, and a self guided circle tour of the island. The surfing family went to Wai Kai water park, and on a boat ride where they viewed sharks from a cage. We really did it all and it was a very successful family vacation.

We truly enjoyed this spacious condo, located right next to the open Fort DeRussy Park and on the beach. Everything in Waikiki is walkable from the condo. Well equipped kitchen, spacious bed area, lovely balcony and big living area. Lots of room for two people to spread out. It is also very secure and the views are great. I would use this condo again on a return to Waikiki.

A perfect place for a couple or a solo traveler. The kitchen was well-equipped, the laundry machines were a great addition, and there were plenty of beach supplies on hand. This is such a terrific walkable area with so much to see and buses/trolley's close by. Parking is very expensive in this area, but those who have a car and are staying for more than a few days can buy a monthly pass to park at one of the local lots or garages.

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: We very much enjoyed our stay in this condo.The view is amazing, and one of the primary reasons we chose it. The unit is very spacious, and the king bed was very comfortable. Appliances, air conditioning and washer/dryer were all great, and in good working order. There were plenty of ‘starter’ amenities, and we didn’t have to purchase much on our own. Also, plenty of beach items were provided. The property is also right on the beach! We did not rent a car, but the location was outstanding, especially for walks along the beach if you are not swimming in the ocean! Kalakaua avenue is only a couple of blocks away, and there are many restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. The VRBO description of the property is also very detailed as well as accurate. We were greeted by Paul upon arrival, and he showed us the details of the condo, told us about nearby shopping and places to eat, and even walked us to a close-by ABC store! The only down note of our stay was one evening there was a power outage in the building that lasted over an hour, and we were not able to make contact with Paul at that time, so it would be good to know whom to contact in such a situation. Overall, we were most pleased with our visit, and would highly recommend this condo to anyone! If we are back for another visit to the Waikiki area, we would definitely stay here again!

It had everything we needed and was just outside of the busier part of Waikiki. Being right next to the beach and the beautiful park was wonderful. And being able to see the Friday night fireworks from our balcony was magical. The excellent Arnold's is just down the street and there's convenient parking in the large lot across the road. Get the monthly pass if you're staying a few days - that'll save you some $.
