Great locationâŠ15-20 minute walk to Dukes and the beach. Loved the ease of check in and it was a great price for 2 bedrooms with a full kitchen and parking included!
We really enjoyed our stay. Close enough to walk to Waikiki and the parking made our stay that much easier. By having a car we were able to go around the island and not sequester ourselves to just this area. We would stay there again!
On the positive: the owner was very responsive and even send some ideas on what to visit. If you only stay to sleep, the property was ok. The location is about a 30 min walk to the "Duke" statue. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs. The free parking is a plus however if you drive a large SUV you might have some challenges going up the ramp. The negative: the view from the balcony is to the street and the rooftop parking lot. The ceiling fan did not work and the portable air conditioner unites are very noisy. The livingroom furnitures had some stains and the sofa was covered with a green blanket, not very attractive in my oppinion. The bathroom is small. There is not enough vanity space for 4 people. Overall the apartment could use some updates.
The place was in order and clean. VRBO contact was responsive and quick. They also gave us a heads on an issue before we checked in. The process was easy, quick, and clearly communicated to us.
This property was exactly as advertised and exactly what we wanted. It is close to Waikiki Beach, and close to a busy main road with lots of options for shopping, eating, and drinking. Having a free parking space was amazing. We rented a car to be able to drive around the island. It was also comforting to know that the building had a security guard. The only issues we had was the toaster and microwave not working, but the owner showed up almost right away with new ones for us and we had no other issues. It can be noisy, being close to a main road. I wore ear plugs, though, and didn't hear a thing. I highly recommend this property. If we ever go back to Oahu, we will definitely be staying here!
Every room had an AC unit which was nice. The porch was small but nice to sit on. Having a dedicated parking spot was great. Secure parking and building access. The location is very convenient. Would stay again.
My husband and daughter and I stayed here for a week. The condo is pretty comfortable, apart from the raised seating in the dining area. These were awkward at best. The condo is well located, 15 to 20 minutes from the beach and hubbub of Waikiki. Check in would have been easier if the host had told us the parking is on the upper ramp. I had to call the host to find out. We liked the condo for the most part but it's very, very noisy with sirens, motorcycles and traffic. The best part was the nearby taco trucks. The worst part was the noise. The security guard was friendly and helpful.
Really enjoyed the location of the property, layout of the rental property, and availability for parking. The inside of the property needs some attention. Itâs very dated , lacks a warm home feeling, has a few roaches at night, and needs attention to the holes in the hallway and mold in the closet. We had a party of three. There was 3 very old wash cloths and 4 towels and 4 beach towels. No rugs anywhere.. not even in the bathroom. The location is amazing. 7-11 on the corner, food trucks on the next corner, and the international Market approx 10-15 min walk up the street.
Hopefully this review is helpful for both the customer and rental agent.
The place has great location; however, it is a little old. We found three bugs and had to clean them out. The host is very easy to communicate, and towels and beach toys were provided by the host.
An affordable place on Waikiki close to the beaches at a good price.
Honolulu was unseasonably warm while we were there so AC struggled to keep the unit cool, but I don't think that is a normal occurrence.
The good: Price, location, and owner is very responsive.
The not so good: HVAC struggled to keep the unit cool, street noise was very loud.
I want to be clear that the unit is NOT bad, especially at the price point. I just want people to be realistic in their expectations.
First, in addition to the central air for the unit, there are portable air conditioners in the three main rooms that can't be moved. Even with those, during the extremely hot parts of the day, our unit struggled to keep the temp below 78 degrees but again, we were there during a heatwave. In one of the rooms, the exhaust pipe for the room AC was leaking hot air into the room so I used a towel to plug up the air leaks. By this point, I had already spoken to the owner several times and didn't want to be a difficult tenant, so we just dealt with it.
Second was the street noise. Since this unit is on the third floor (there are two lobby levels), ambulances were very loud when they went by all hours of the day or night. We did not hear anyone else on the property so it wasn't the fault of the property owner.
Everything else in this unit was great and secured assigned parking is awesome.
They had enough kitchen utilities for us, which was great. They were also very responsive to our messaging throughout our stay. Clean and perfect for 4 people.
