Can't get a much better location, You're just block away from Waikiki Beach and all the shops and restaurants. The price for a 12-day stay was extremely reasonable. This unit had everything that you could possibly need for a wonderful stay in Paradise. Although a little

I had to cancel my trip with my friend. Richard allowed her to bring her grandchildren and daughter instead. They said the condo was great, so near the beach and had beautiful views. It was handy to everything they needed.Thank you, Richard, for being so understanding.

We had an in incredible time staying in this property for a week. My 3 year and 8 month old loved the property too. WiFi is high speed, Disney is on TV and the kids beds were big help. Personally me and my husband loved the spot on location. It’s close to almost everything. And the bed was perfect and the water pressure in the shower was perfect. Both Jena and Courtney were super responsive and we got our checkout extended so proactively. I am coming back here to stay whenever we visit Honolulu next!

We really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. Great location with a short walk to the beach. Check in and parking was easy. Lovely place to come home to after a tiring day out exploring or at the beach, recharge, and get back out to enjoy the rest of the night. View was very nice and peaceful to wake up to in the morning.

This was a lovely apartment for us to spend our week in Waikiki. Superb location. Spectacular views. Well-appointed apartment. The only challenges I would note are the building is quite dated, elevator wait is long, beds on the small side and AC unit very loud. Overall, we had a very good stay. Good and timely interactions with the owner.

We stayed with our 2 boys (9 &11) for a week in the suite and had an amazing time. The unit is spacious and clean. The kitchen is well equipped, we cooked a few dinners and made breakfast there each day. The kids slept comfortably in the bunks. We shared the bed in the same room, was cozy but manageable. The bathroom was clean and towels are provided, there were beach towels as well. A small patio had 2 chairs and small drink table. We were pleased to find a beach umbrella and beach chairs on the patio. There was a small cooler and a couple of boogie boards as well. The 6th floor has a great pool for the kids 1' to 5' deep, loungers surrond the pool area. There is also a large green space where the boys played soccer. There is also BBQ's and picnic tables here for fist come first serve use. There are ABC stores on every corner that have all sorts of foods and drinks and every souvenier you can think of. The beach is a 3-4 min walk away and is amazing for sunsets. There are numerous restaurants withing a short walking distance. We rented a car and used the free onsite parking, it was a great bonus. Comminucation was great with Chris. He was prompt and flexible on our check out time, which was a huge relief with an 11:45pm flight out. Thank you Chris.

The apartment is exactly like it is on the website. The building is over 30 floor, co-mingled with hotel rooms. Easy walking (about 10 minutes) to Waikiki's busy commercial area, full of restaurants, shopping malls, hotels, and even to the beach (further walking). The 1-bed room apartment was clean, space is good for two to three persons. A/C was working fine. Two cooking pots were stainless steel, which is great. The rest was non-stick. The stove is induction, easy to use. The towels supplied were two sets, probably enough for two persons. Requesting extra bed sheets and towels would be charged according to the rules displayed on the counter. The balcony door. facing west, is not openable, though.

This condo is exactly as pictured and more! Courtney, the host, was super responsive and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. While the building is a bit outdated, the unit is remodeled very tastefully and was very clean. Our kids loved the bunk beds! We arrived to a cute welcome basket with local goodies which I thought was a special touch. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, a mat, and boogie boards for us to use during our stay. There were even a couple life vests for toddlers and a small bucket of sand toys. There is a washer and dryer at the end of the floor. You pay via an app and it notifies you how much time is left/when the load is done! Courtney provided a couple detergent pods for guest use which was so nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be recommending this property to our friends! 10/10!

We like the Waikiki Sunset because it is in a convenient location close to beach, zoo, and Kapahulu Avenue. Parking was a great plus. However, the parking attendant lady was grouchy and doesn't listen to any explanation. A tip to visitors is to use Kapahulu Ave. for entry and exit due to traffic bottleneck on Kalakaua Ave. and Alawai Canal.

On 36th floor, beautiful mountain view! Parking pass for garage was great to have. Rooms were clean but dated. Can use some updates and we were charged a large restocking fee for just a few sample soaps and shampoo. Overall, very nice but bring your own suppies.

Courtney your host goes above and beyond to ensure your experience is fantastic. Attention to detail in unit is quite evident from the moment you walk in the door. From the welcome card and treat basket to all the needs to ensure all you have to do is buy food. The property is walkable to most lical beaches, shopping and restaurants! Dhe was a pleasure to deal with,always responding to all questions in a timely manner treat

This was the second time we stayed at Courtney’s condo…we loved it so much last year that we booked it again for an even longer stay. It is so well stocked, bright and clean…and conveniently located to the beach, restaurants and shops a short walk from the condo. There are also hop on -hop off trolley stops nearby if you want to catch a trolley instead. Courtney is a fantastic host, attentive and responds quickly if you need anything. We had an absolutely excellent vacation and definitely plan to book one of Courtney’s condos again.

All as described. Host graciously had left some goodies including coffee for us that were much appreciated. Offered free early check in if we wished. Seamless experience.

February 2025

Great location to many amenities- Waikiki beach within easy walking distance; lots of restaurants/shops close by; easy walk to International Mall; city bus stop a block away. Very much appreciated the beach chairs.Condo itself comfortable. Smaller than expected. Tight quarters in bedrooms with little space to store luggage out of the way. It needs “a little love” However we would stay here again.

February 2025

Apartment was perfect for us. Very accurate listing and well managed. The building is a bit old and elevators are slow but it wasn’t an issue for us. Just allow extra time during “rush hour” or use the stairs. (8:30-10 when guests are all trying to get to their activities)Would definitely stay at this apartment and in the Sunset Waikīkī building again.

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: Absolutely nothing negative to say about the company or room. Pool was shaded in the afternoon and a bit cool but that's not their fault at all just something to note if thats important to you. Rooms were clean, comfortable and a great location for easy access to the beach, restaurants etc. Great view of Diamond Head from the livingroom and balcony and great view of the beach from the bedrooms. All in all great experience and we would gladly do it again.

Clean apartment, pretty view towards the east, easy check-in and out. Apartment shows signs of aging and minor deterioration. Both single beds were comfortable. Bonus: beach chairs and umbrellas, plus boogie boards All in all my friend and I enjoyed our stay.

The manager communication is polite, timely and thorough. The location is close to the action of the beach and the included parking was a draw for it.

Perfect stay, location is close to front ocean. Location faces the hills instead of the ocean. Walk is accessible to Target, restaurant, ABC store, or driving out of the city. CON: I don’t know but instruction to access building was not sent until the midnight of date of stay. Vrbo customer service was super accommodating. I definitely recommend reaching out to property management days before arrival.

We had a great time staying in this unit. The unit is fully renovated and very clean which added to the enjoyment of our trip. Also, having parking included was a big plus since parking in Waikiki is difficult. Courtney was very responsive and pleasant. We would stay here again. Aloha

We really enjoyed our stay. The size of the apartment was perfect of us (a family of 3). Location is very good and the views from the room are amazing. Parking is included, which was a plus. The property is very clean. We will definitely plan to re-visit this property.

charming apartment! Kitchen adequately stocked; beds were very comfy. Property manager responsive. Property overall was a little bit dated, but it was clean. Safe area, great for walking to beach and all around Waikiki.

The Positives:- Pictures were accurate- Clean Unit- Free Parking is clutch- Excellent location (short walk to international marketplace / target / Beach)- Bed was comfortable- Stocked with Beach equipment! (Lounge Chairs, Beach towels, boogie boards, umbrellasAreas for improvement:- The Unit is located within a very outdated hotel (Aston Waikiki). The Elevators need renovation. Although there are 4 elevators, it often felt like only 1 was in use at a time. People would often crowd into the elevator, due to long waits. - Kitchen items could use improvement (a larger chef's knife would be nice. Difficult to cut store bought fruit with small knives)- Dish Rack was rusty/dirty. Did not have anywhere to dry our dishes- The Door of the unit does not close all the way on its own. You need to push it close, to make sure it's closed. It also doesn't have a secondary bolt or chain lock; only the 1 electronic lock.- Shower water pressure was subparOverall, our stay was fine. It's not luxurious, if you're used to 5-star hotels, but it is a clean and convenient place for a small family.

The location and view is awesome, the building is quiet, the front desk is helpful with basic needs and directions. The kitchenette is adequate. Unfortunately, we had a cement wall on deck so can’t see anything sitting down. The broom needs replacing if you want floors kept clean, very worn out.

Central location , everything you need for beach trips and kitchen is well equipped .Parking is included and laundry is across the hall. Easy walk to lots of restaurants and the beach. Really enjoyed our stay.

The Room(s):Everything you could ask for was in the kitchen: SHARP knives, GOOD pots and pans, cutting board, rice cooker and AIRFRYER. As a group who was trying to save money by cooking instead of eating out, the kitchen was perfectly equipped for making meals for 4. Not to mention that the trash shoot is just two doors away which made cleanup very easy. The chairs (2 of them), beach towels (3), umbrellas (2), and other beach supplies came in clutch so we didn’t have to rent anything (except surfboards!). Also, the balcony is such a peaceful place to have your morning coffee and evening wine. The beds were so comfortable—even the sofa bed! No sharp springs digging into your back or old mattresses sagging under you.My only complaint for the whole stay is one that’s more feedback than anything: the sofa bed didn’t seem cleaned when we checked in (old sheets still on, some rubbish underneath), but there was nothing gross about it.The Property:A super easy check in (called the Property Manager when I arrived and checked in with the security in the lobby) that took less than 5 minutes. A free parking place (which just a parking permit in the property’s parking garage) is always a godsend when you have a car in waikiki, and the wifi was easy to connect to and pretty fast (4 people surfing internet with ease and 2 of them doing more intense work). The gym is a little lacking (as most resort gyms are), but the pool, lawn, and grills were very well maintained and popular!

Awesome stay! Views from inside and lanai are better than advertised! Close to beach and and beach walk area. Elevators can take a little longer at times, but the view from high floor is worth it! Would def stay here again
