Good location to beach, shopping, and activities. Kitchen has everything you need for a short stay. Views of the mountains, Ala Wai, and partial of Diamond Head. No ocean view or sounds of the ocean...just the AC on a neighboring complex. Overall...ok and comfortable.

Building is a little dated but place was really clean and neat.

Basic setup but what you need for 4 people. Parking is tight for a bigger vehicle. Main detractor is the drapes that are holey and let morning sun in. Toaster is also starting to go. Great communication from midway. Very easy check-in and clear communication. Thank you.

It's complicated.....

Wanted to review in more detail, but can't due to size limitation, so: Check-in/out was ok, worked, but clunky (hint- have security give out/collect parking passes and fobs) 7/10 Hallway to unit - disgusting 3/10 Unit - excellent, 9.5/10. Carpet somewhat past replacement date, but everything spotlessly clean. Great mattress/pillows, excellent AC, balcony with seating, lots of supplies/amenities. I'd like to stress that the following is NOT in any way VRBO's or the owner's direct fault, but it is relevant.... We were evacuated from the apt. around 4PM of our 2nd day there, by the police, along with everyone else from the 16th, 17th and 18th floors. There was an incident with a resident 1 floor above us. A mentally unwell man, apparently known to police, allegedly assaulted one of the staff, may have intentionally spilled some "chemicals" into other units and/or dumped them off his balcony, was brandishing a knife. Took the police till 3AM to resolve the situation. By 1AM (having been "on the street" for 9 hrs or so and completely exhausted) we got ourselves a room elsewhere (at our own expense). We returned to our VRBO unit the next morning. We feel the building is a bit mis-represented, as to how upscale it is (isn't). More than a few sketchy-seeming people in the hallways/elevators. We weren't totally comfortable. This corner of Waikiki is kind of on the fringe. A far cry from the other, nicer end of Waikiki where we spent our night "out".

Nice condo, clean and comfortable. Parking included which can be very expensive. Only issue was construction which caused the power and water to be shut off multiple times. Had to sit in the lobby one evening for 1/2 an hour until the elevators were turned on again.

Nice location and easy check-in

The place is same as described and it’s located two blocks from the beach. It’s easy to go around and we feel safe walking back home at night. One thing tho, I wish we have more beach towels since we only have one each for the whole trip and the laundry takes a while. Everything else was great.

Just Average

The positives: spacious, well laid out, great view, can access the balcony two ways; Opportunities for improvements: NO toaster as listed, no pot holders to cook with, bare minimum at best; two beach towels; shower barely puts out any water, no drying rack, no extra beach accessories, toys -- It didn't say it had these things but for the price. This is my fourth trip to Hawaii and this is at best basic. Towels are rough, toilet paper is the super cheap brand, bathroom vent doesn't work for those times when you need it to work! Couch is super uncomfortable to sit on, When relaxing we often just laid in the bed because of the couch. The bed was great!!! I think for the price you can find a place that gives you the 'extras' at no charge. The management company was super helpful and communicative, but again when you look on VRBO you can find something better for the price. If you are going to provide basics then the price should reflect that.

Awesome view and great location

This was my first time visiting Honolulu and we enjoyed our stay. The condo was awesome, everything was great from beginning to end. We had a great view of the Diamond Head as well and the mountains and we were able to take in the awesomeness of the beautiful sunrise every morning. The condo was fully furnished with everything needed for cooking and the grill in the pool area was an added bonus for grilling on several nights after a long day at the beach and sight seeing. Overall a great stay and close proximity to the beach, great restaurants and and anything you wanted to do like shopping:) we would definitely stay here again.

Home Away from Home in Waikiki

Lovely little place to stay in Waikiki. Expansive city and mauka views from the lanai and floor to ceiling windows. Secure building with parking included. Beach chairs and cooler enhanced our daily adventures. An easy walk to the Honolulu Zoo and Waikiki beaches. A short walk to shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the sundeck and took advantage of the grills to BBQ some chicken for supper. Coin/card operated washer and dryer at the end of the hall.

Needs improvement

The location and communication with the property management was very good. The property however could use some TLC: * Carpet smells and is dirty, needs changing * thermal plastic on cupboards has melted * kettle bottom is missing so must boil water using stovetop * ceiling above microwave is damaged * kitchen and bathroom lightbulbs constantly flicker * weak water pressure

What you see is what you get.

The photos are accurate (except no food). Few amenities. Salt and Pepper only. No spices. Enough coffee for two cups. I guess we should be grateful… Furnished in the 1990’s, the wear and tear have taken a toll. Wall art faded. Furniture and carpet are frayed. Door to deck does not open from the living room. Bed linens are thin and old. Elastic fittings do not hold sheets into place. Every night is a tangle. No water pressure in shower. If you could shower in the faucet you might be able to get your hair wet for washing. We used it for what it was and enjoyed the area immensely but would choose a different VRBo next time. Or a hotel. We have traveled w VRBO for 20 years in all parts of the world. This fits into the bottom rung of experiences.
