I enjoyed the room and being close to Waikiki and Ala Moana.

Two weeks of accessibility to Waikiki, the beach & bus routes. Beautiful views & although the afternoon sun comes directly into the room, we could see the Hliton fireworks on Friday nights and gorgeous sunsets. The only negative was the mattress needs to be replaced urgently. Roll apart was terrible.

The location was perfect! Close to all local transportation, good restaurants and the view is amazing from the lanai. Great for watching Friday night fireworks from the lanai. This studio condo is good for 1 or 2 visitors. Building is very secure and front desk staff is friendly and helpful. The condo is well supplied with basic needs for a long stay. Roger was very helpful with my one small issue.

The unit had very little in terms of dishes/plates and amenities. I was especially disappointed that a beach front condo didn’t have beach towels. We enjoyed a discount in beach chair and umbrella rental which was a nice surprise. Bed was comfortable.

I was able to spend a quiet time. It is an old building, but the broken plumbing support was repaired the next day. There was no provision for toilet paper or shampoo for 11 days, but there was enough for 4 days.

usually quiet. very early people walking by the partially open shuttered windows talked loudly. unexpected very loud drilling for water pipe work from 8:30 to 9:00. After 9 was expected but this was a one time thing. The owner and property manager were not informed and it was not suppose to happen before 9. other than this we enjoyed our stay.

I'll definitely go back but they need to update tiles and appliances. No one can beat the view and location. The parking is closer than I thought.

Be ready to get overwhelmed by the magnificent 180 degrees views of Waikiki Beach and the Pacific Ocean! The apartment literally is directly above the sand, seriously!Thank you Tommy, he was very responsive and personable throughout our stay to ensure the best experience! The 3 room set up and the 3 bathrooms were perfect for my family of 6 including my 3 young adults and one of their boyfriends.

Two friends & I had a reunion in Hawaii. The condo was comfortable, spotless & pleasant. It’s an ocean front unit with a sensational view. We sat on the lanai & soaked up the warm air & caught up with each other.The first evening we had a stunningly gorgeous sunset. Our five nights there were heavenly!

April 2025

The view of the beach is panoramic and perfect- there's no obstructions. The space could be a bit cleaner (like the sofa and floors) although the bed/sheets were very clean. The space was equipped with lots of beach gear which was awesome (beach chairs, boogie boards, cooler bags, ice packs, etc.).

Excellent location and view of the beach and park. Easy access to restaurants and shops downtown. Convenient parking in the garage. Condo was very neat and clean and had everything we could have possibly needed. Owner is very nice and communicated promptly. Highly recommend this property.

I stayed here while I attended a work conference at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. This was a more affordable alternative that was an easy 10 min walk along the beach to the conference center.The room is a perfect home base for a trip to Oahu. There are beautiful ocean views from the balcony which also overlooks the Friday night firework show at the Hilton. Big comfy bed, kitchenette with a coffee machine, good sized bathroom, and in-unit washer/dryer all made for a relaxing stay. I purchased the parking in the building which was well priced and very convenient.Would definitely recommend staying here!

Great stay! Arrived later than expected (a bit after midnight) property manager was still there to greet us and was very helpful getting us all situated! Location is epic, no need to rent a car unless you want to travel around, otherwise everything from great art and good food is within walking distance! See you all again!

Our third time staying in this building, first time in this unit. We found it very clean and comfortable. Communication and interaction with property manager excellent. Kitchen well stocked (we knew to bring our own seasonings and storage wrap). Furniture somewhat worn but still very comfortable. Air conditioning very effective. Overall, met our needs and desires well. Would stay here again.

I would recommend this place to everyone & plan to stay here if i ever come back! The place was literally right on the beach & walking distance to everything. It was clean and safe. We got a parking permit at the HOA parking lot which was right across the street. Can't wait to come back!

Condo is in a perfect location on Waikiki beach. Pros: location. The condo has all you need for your stay with beach towels, few beach chairs. King size bed was comfortable. Cons: the condo. Needs a deep clean. The baseboard were dirty and hand not been cleaned in quite sometime. The plastic shades covering the large window overlooking the beach are missed 6-8 making it very bright at night while trying to sleep. I arranged and pre paid for parking. Unfortunately, the prior guest lost the fob. They reimburse me for my first night of parking. I had to pay for the second day because the replacement key fob wasn’t delivered until 1pm (I was told it would come in the morning but never received). Overall good condo. Amazing location. Save staying here vs hotel.

Great beach views and access. Central location was walkable to most places we wanted to go. Parking across the street and A/C were much appreciated. Only drawback was lack of luggage storage before check-in/after checkout. Otherwise, had a great time at this location.

We have to check in 2 blocks away The people at the desk are very rude. They say that they don't handle our roomMy wife is partial disabled and she told us we have to walk around 2 ramps to get to pool when there was a walkway going right thereThe only truly evil person we met on our trip

My family could not have asked for better accommodations for our trip. The location was perfectly situated next to the beach, well equipped with enough start up materials for a week (and then some) including chairs and an umbrella, linens and towels. Gorgeous view from the lanai that pictures don’t do justice, perfect for sunsets and Friday fireworks. We’re looking forward to booking again at this location for future trips..

My husband and I had a great stay here last week. Our check-in was very smooth, apartment was clean, ac was on, very central location. We had live music each night from the sun deck and awesome sunsets. The parking spot was a big plus too. We have stayed at numerous VRBOs on the different islands so the one thing that we did not have that we have had in most others was a variety of spices, tea, etc. You will also want to bring your own toiletries, the single hotel bottles don’t last long. We will definitely come back because the location was excellent and the room is very comfortable. Thank you!!

We stayed here for our anniversary which happens to be on spring break and i must say that this was my style. The spring break croud was all over waikiki but not in our secure quiet clean property. We booked a parking spot for the 10 days we stayed for our rental car and that was a blessing. We didnt have to fight for parking walk a mile or worry about leaving anything in the vehicle. The room is small but for two it works. Everythink we needed was i. The kitchen. Walk out on the beach just feet from the elevator. Close to everything. More shopping than i would ever do. Mornings on the lanai was perfect and the veiw is unbeatable. Would definatly stay here again.
