Amazing location with beautiful view of the ocean. We were able to see seals and sea turtles right outside the building and were close to everything without needing a car.

very nice condo, it's tiny but has very nice views

This condo’s location couldn’t have been better - right on the ocean in the heart of Waikiki with shopping and restaurants just a few steps away. The lanai had views of the ocean and the adjacent park and the room was relatively insulated from outside noise. The inside of the property could benefit from a fresh coat of paint and a freshen up on frying pans (they were well past their prime with the Teflon coating flaking away), but that was easy to overlook due to the prime location of the property. We did have a minor repair needed with the showerhead and they were super quick to get that taken care of. Overall it was a great stay.

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 had a great stay in this beautiful rental unit! It was an amazing view to have breakfast and watch the shore as the sun rose (on the other side of the island)! Everything was extremely clean and renovated! Would totally recommend and would LOVE to stay again! It was definitely worth getting the on-site parking especially for carrying beach bag stuff to/from car straight to the rental unit.

Everything is exactly like the booking showed. I loved my morning coffee on the lanai. Shops and food all within walking distance. Access to the beach was literally right out the door. On our last evening we stepped out to the beach and right there was 2 monk seals napping in the sand. Would do this all over again in a heartbeat.

I’m not sure you could find a better spot in Waikiki. The view was amazing. The condo was spacious and well laid out. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I hope we can visit again one day.

This rental was better than expected. Great location, great view, & the price point was great too. The unit was very clean and good size for a couple. The beach is literally steps away. There’s beach chair rentals on the first floor of the building which is very convenient. The rental itself comes with chairs but if you don’t want to carry them down the chair rental place is the way to go. The unit comes with everything you need. They even provided laundry soap which was very thoughtful. We have absolutely no complaints. You will not regret staying here. Thank you for having us!

The property location is right in the heart of Waikiki with walking distance to great shops and restaurants. The view of the beach is great. Can see the Hilton fireworks show from the balcony on Friday night. This is second time we’ve stayed at Waikiki Shore (different units) and the only drawback is that each time we’ve been there, there has been jackhammering going on. However, it was not audible from our condo, only at street level. Recommend reserving a parking spot at Waikiki Shore if you rent a car.

This property is in prime location. Walk out of the building onto the beaches of Waikiki! Was very neat and clean and the views are incredible. Sunset views every night and Friday night Fireworks are unobstructed from the balcony! Would stay here again when back on Oahu!

Close proximity to “all things Waikiki”!! The lanai was overlooking a beautiful park with soaring Terns and to die for sunsets. Kai was thorough as he walked us through every nuance of his well kept unit. When we return to Waikiki this is where we’ll stay!

This property was perfect for our stay in Oahu. The space, beds, linens, baths, and 180 degree waterfront view were all exceptional. The off street parking was easy in and out, and Paul and the staff were highly professional, warm and courteous. The small beach is really casual and calm, just right for a quick swim. Checkin was a snap, and overall, we had a lovely stay!!

Great condo with beautiful beach and city view. We enjoyed our stay in the property. No problems of any kind, you will definitely have a peaceful time here.Steel cooking pots and other pots are not good. Everything heats up and you may burn yourself. Kitchen needs to have better utensils.be careful with Dishwasher door. its almost 10Lb weight. Dishwasher does not clean well and leaves some powdery residue.Wish if the tub shower in other bathroom is little bigger to stand for a regular person (its very small)

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.

May 2025

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.

The property was beautifully renovated and well-appointed with very nice kitchen and bathrooms (smart toilets were a pleasant surprise). The property is easy walking distance to beach, great restaurants, and shopping. We would definitely return!

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.
