Waikiki Sunset delivers!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was just like the photos. Unfortunately, two of the elevators were down when we first arrived. Once they were fixed, it was great. The hallways were dated, but the unit was spacious. We had a lovely view from the 25th floor. We enjoyed the balcony, the complete kitchen and the bathroom with a tub. The unit was clean. The furnishings were a bit dated. The building could improve by having recycling. The location was great. It was only a few minutes walk to the main strip in Waikiki Beach. There were lots of restaurants and attractions around. We appreciated the included on-site parking.

Thank you for being a returning guest and for taking the time to share your feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the location and cleanliness of the property, as well as the service provided by your property manager.​ We sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by the building's elevator issues. Unfortunately, the building administration manages elevator maintenance, which was outside our direct control.​ We value you as a customer and ​will look forward to your next visit.
