Property owner failed to inform us that the balcony would not be available the entire week we rented the place. Once I heard back from the owner they offered a different unit the last three nights of our stay, but it wasn’t worth packing to move and unpack again. We also provided feedback that the online pictures need to be updated as well. A mirror gave the impression of a panoramic view that wasn’t there. When taking a shower be prepared for scalding hot water and then very cold water. It was impossible to regulate the water temperature. I would have to be guaranteed a different updated unit before I would recommend this rental.

Marina water view condo

Perfectly located close by Waikīkī walkway and lagoon. We enjoyed having a separate bedroom area and the wonderful pub down below for both take out and atmosphere. The condo had all we needed and the end unit allowed us to have views from two sides! Thank you Janna!

This was an amazing trip for my family. This condo was beyond perfect! So close to Waikiki beach and a little walk to the Ala Moana Center. Everything you could need is across the street at the ABC store. This condo had exceptional breakfast, dinner and/or lunch. The sunset over the harbor is one you don’t want to miss!! Would re-book this room 100 times again.

Waikiki Apartment

Great location. View of marina and close to beach. Hilton Lagoon great for those not wanting to venture into the surf at Waikiki. Red Lobster next door and Harbour Pub in basement. The pub is a dive but has great prices, mixed cocktails and pizza. Chart House Restaurant on property but very spendy for a place with carpet glued to the ceiling. The washer and dryer are no longer in the apartment. Paid machines upstairs. The property is a little dated but suited our needs. Very comfortable for a couple.

Our Favorite Place!

This was our fourth year in a row staying here and we will most certainly continue to come back! We love this little spot in paradise! It is just right for myself and my husband. We walk to Foodland or Target to get groceries and other essentials at the Ala Moana Center. Most days we pack up lunch and our beach chairs and walk down to the beach to just relax and hang out. If you take the goggles you can easily swim out to the reef nearby and see tons of fish and turtles. When we do want to explore the island we rent a HUI which is located right in the connected parking structure. This was our first year having any issues. The freezer stopped working. Janna quickly had a new one delivered. She was so quick to respond to my message and make sure it was all handled well. 10/10 would recommend!!

Owner Needs to Update Description - Misleading

Do not pay this premium price believing you will receive the described "luxury designer decor." In person this unit has a dated appearance. The dryer did not work during my entire 16 night stay. The kitchen's overhead fluorescent tube lighting either did not work at all or only a few tube lights worked. The sub-zero refrigerator has to be 20+ years old with no ice maker and both ice cube trays had cracks and leaked. I let the housekeeper Julie know so that the next renter may get new ice cube trays. The kitchen faucet is loose at its base with tape to keep the retractable head in place. The advertised "Spa Tub!" It is an old bathtub with zero functioning spa features. Not one of the six jets works. The tile flooring is the same on the bathroom wall and shower. The bathroom counter is oddly low, really low. All the counters in the kitchen and bathroom are a beige-rose corian that appear to have survived the last renovation. As I walked past the bed, one of its plastic decorative gold details popped off the bed frame. Fortunately, it snapped back on. The advertised show of "Fireworks (every Friday night)!" was canceled close to two years ago with no date to resume. There is more but the review limits the number of words. Julie the housekeeper is a doll. The owner is snarky. I've never written a negative review before and I'm not the only one who has had a negative experience with this owner - check "Janna Macdowall" under "ripoffreport.com." VRBO won't let me put the link.. If you select this unit, deal only with Julie. Avoid the owner.

A great location and apartment

The location right next to Waikiki beach and the marina was great. We loved the corner window for that beautiful view. The furnishings were very nice. The kitchen was well equipped. The bed was comfortable. Everything was clean. Our only problem was wild swings in shower temperatures that ranged from scalding to freezing. I’m not sure what could be done. Maybe it’s a building problem. I would definitely stay here again if I found myself in Honolulu.

Need to know

Couple things..The shower goes from extreme hot to extreme cold..A hand held shower would work better. The soaker tub was not working so was mislead on that as it was advertised on VRBO. Very noisy. There is a pub on the main floor alots of traffic with revving of motorbikes and cars..The windows are likely the original windows. They left ear plug on pillow , but you could still hear the music.JANNA was fabulous though. Any concerns she was quick to respond and there to help.Its a very cute place. Lots of stuff from beach chairs, umbrella, cooler snorkel gear, shampoo ,conditioner, body wash, lots of spices ,coffee,tea..Also

Cute little spot @ Waikiki!

Could definitely use some better cleaning, hair & dust & food & coffee remnants in all drawers & refrigerator. the property manager or owner had a little bit of an attitude problem, but all in all, the spot was good & great that they include beach stuff in the closet. They could put on the Vrbo details that the laundry is not in the unit but rather on a whole separate floor. Thanks

i’ve stayed in multiple units in this same Ilkikai Marina building. This one is definitely one of the top one or two that I’ve stayed at. The owner is a great host and keeps in touch and is open minded to any issues or problems.

Amazing Condo

Beautiful furnishings, well stocked kitchen with all the appliances you might need, comfortable bed and couch for sitting or sleeping. What we enjoyed the most was the views. Friday night fireworks, boats going in and out of the harbor, many with Christmas lights. Every evening and morning we sat on the lanai and marveled at the sights. I especially enjoyed my two cups of coffee every morning on the lanai. Thank you Janna. I hope to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Janna MacDowall

Host profile image
It is our passion to create beautiful environments in vacation locations. Having fabulous affordable properties, to share with others gives me extreme pleasure. I love to receive comments in my guest book about how much fun you had and having you return to this same location over and over again is the ultimate compliment.

Why they chose this property

This gorgeous ocean front 1 King bedroom, has unbelievable views from every room, being on the corner gives it the advantage of double the window's. The bedroom is enclosed by a solid wall unlike most condo's in Waikiki which use soji sliding paper panels to create rooms. The gourmet kitchen is wonderful to entertain yourself or friends. Location is fantastic being within walking distance to everything and the bonus of being next door to the only full resort in Waikiki the 'Hilton Hawaiian Village' and my favorite restaurants "Pesca" top of the Ilikai Hotel and for traditional Hawaiian food and continental cuisine find the Original Chart House Restaurant with fabulous food while dine over the yacht harbor at street level of this condo!

What makes this property unique

PARKING:
Ilikai Marina Parking located at 1765 Ala Moana Blvd entry is next to Red Lobster Restaurant on Hobron St. Daily rate of $28 unlimited in's and outs. the Yacht Harbor public parking is $10 per day (no in or out's) or $1 per hour. Free parking on a small street in the middle of the yacht harbor however hard to get due to employee's nabbing them first.
