In the center of Waikiki
Our accommodations did not disappoint. We had beautiful views of the city and of the beach. We were even able to see a Lakalaka - Tonga dance from our balcony! The rooms were clean and spacious, and the living area was perfect for the six of us! Definitely a place we would consider staying again if we took the family on the next trip. Our host kept in communication, all of this equaled to a fantastic vacation!

Family Time Away From Home
Our stay at IIikai Apt Bldg was as I hoped it would be, a clean place big enough b together. There was a master bedrooms king size bed with two closets and bathroom with shower and tub. The other bedroom had a twin bed and full size bed, and that room had a connected door to the shared bathroom with the rest of the condo. The two sofas let down to a full size bed. There were six adults in our party with one female, so everyone slept comfortably. There wasn't bedding for both sofas when we arrive for the first night. However, the owner was very responsive to my request and arranged for another blanket and sheet by the next afternoon. My contract gave me 24 hours of arriving to let them know of any issues. I notice two lamps were cracked when we arrive, so not to be held responsible, I reported it to the owner. She replaced them the next morning. We were on the 16th floor and it was very windy during our stay, so it limited being able to leave the sliding door to the balcony open on one side. There was rain showers off and on our entire stay which keep temperature mild. I appreciated all the kitchenette provided: full size refrigerator, stove top with oven, microwave, dishwasher and pots, skillets, plates, glasses, mugs, eating utensils. The stove was electric [I've always had a gas stove.] My son made a full breakfast which we ate at a six seat dining table. I enjoyed our stay at this location The owner was easy to communicate with and pleasant and responsive to my request.

It was a good location with lots to do. Good food places close by and beach just a short walk away. Vacuum didn’t seem to work so we swept up as well as we could. It was clean and would recommend to anyone.

Everything was perfect. It was an amazing rental. the only thing for me at the time of writing this review, the Property amenities listed a bidet, but there wasn't one in the unit itself. There is a possibility there was public one in the hotel but I couldn't find it

We loved the location right near Al’s Moana Park. The building was a little dated as well as the furniture. It was nice staying in a condo rather than a hotel room.

The condo was wonderful, clean, and just as listed. The hall way on the 16th floor going to the condo was awful-it smelled so bad of mildew and desperately needs to be addressed. The laundry room on this floor was a mess as well-i would suggest going to a different floor for laundry. There is a lot of noise from the street in the condo. The location of the condo was ideal-walking distance to everything…. While the condo was wonderful and very comfortable-the mildew bothered me enough i would not stay again unless it was fixed. Also all if the ac units/vents need to be cleaned in the condo

A week in Paradise
Generally what was shown in the photos and condo info was accurate. TV in living room was difficult to operate. Proper control not present. Former tenants had changed input options and we had to get technician to make the adjustments. More of a problem for some than others. No cooking was done. Just some leftover warmups. "Vacation" Thank you for letting us use your condo.

Very basic property much like a hotel stay nothing extra. Hotel type soaps, towels, no extras very basic. Not well maintained walls peeling, mold from water damage in bathroom. Very small bedrooms. Does have large windows for light and lots of patio doors. Ok views partial ocean view, city view. Staff of hotel was very nice. Valet prices out of date $45 per day.

The ease of checking in and the size of the unit was perfect for our group of 6. Clean, roomy, and near everything we needed. Some parts of the unit needed cosmetic work, but that didn't change the overall appearance of the property. We'd book it again if we came back. The property manager was easy to work with and got back to us quickly with any questions we had.

Best Views and
My family enjoyed the 3 nights we stayed here. Check in was a breeze, I did come across a little bit of a snag but Jeannie was able to help us get into our room quickly. Amazing views and surrounded with plenty of shops and restaurants (walking distance). Valet is a bonus- didn’t have to find parking on my own and the staff were always quick. I recommend that you have breakfast at Cinnamon’s ( right in the lobby area) very delicious and we were seated fairly quickly (party of 9). Overall experience was A1. Would definitely return.

Decent stay
This was a decent stay. Not too fancy, not too bad. The beds in the second room ( double/ twin ) are very uncomfortable. The twin bed concaves in the middle which made it difficult for a pregnant woman to sleep on and she opted for the smaller couch instead which also concaves in the middle... Unit has a city view and if you really look, you could see the ocean a little. Nice thing was the A/C units. One in the master, one in the second room, and two in the living room. The beach towels came in handy. Overall unit needs to be updated, needs better bedding, and the carpets are dirty, so if your going to stay here, make sure to bring house slippers. Decided to stay here since we’ve stayed at a beautiful and same sized VRBO at illikai but it was not available. It’s convenient to the ala moana mall, about 0.8-1.5 ish miles to Waikiki, and you can walk down to the beach from Illikai.

Needs upgrading badly. Furnishings are at least 25 years old and falling apart. No room to move in master bedroom. King bed has 4" foam topper, sleeping on a marshmallow. Walls are filthy in need of paint. Bathroom fixtures leaking. TOTALLY OVERSTATED LISTING!

Comfortable stay
We had a very comfortable stay here! Be sure to bring your own cleaning supplies to clear up after yourself and dishwasher detergent if you intend on eating in the unit. We thought it’d be a little more decorated and updated for the price, but the views were beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. We had plenty of space for a family with two teenagers and room for when my family who was vacationing with us stopped by. Any questions we did have, were promptly answered by the host or the other contact listed in the binder. Overall, a wonderful stay and would definitely book with this host again!

Great time!
We really enjoyed our time at this location! Seemed rather central to everything we needed and bus 20 brought us right in from airport! Close lagoon with fireworks Friday night at 8! 2nd floor pool was our favorite with kids! (In shade after 2pm…perfect with the hot sun!) Ala Moana park and shopping close too! Some things that were there from previous tenants: a cooler, 2 beach chairs, beach umbrella, air mattresses, and some hangers. Air conditioners were a bit temperamental. A local power outage (quick) reset them and got them back on track.
