We booked here for the location which was the ONLY good thing about it. It was dirty/grimy/filthy. We had to run all of the dishes through the dishwasher before we could use any as there was a layer of greasy substance on all the dishes. The couch was not usable- had boards that moved if we sat down and the cover was filthy. We sat on the dining chairs and counter chairs. The wifi was unreliable- the landlord referred me to housekeeping who said it was a building issue and he would call back later. I reset the modem and was shocked at the set up and the electrical tangle of exposed cords/wire. ended up using hot spot on my cell. The drain in the shower was slow and backed up every time it was used. Clearly a known issue as there was a large bottle of Drain-o in the cabinet. I wore my water shoes in the shower due to grime.
The check in process was difficult. I was traveling between many places in the days prior to my stay. The owner sent an email from outside of the VRBO system with an alternate rental agreement that had the door code and other instructions on it. Then he sent multiple emails asking if I had received it and to respond. I had difficulty locating that email and after several emails he sent me one that said he would not communicate with me any longer. It was very stressful and thankfully I finally was able to locate the original email.
Rent elsewhere if you are able.

The property was clean, well equipped and met all our needs. It is a fantastic location for the Friday evening firework display, next to marina for fishing and whale watching trips and the lagoon for children. The Ilikai has a more relaxing atmosphere than the Hilton next door.

READ THIS AND ALL REVIEWS SO YOU DON’T END UP AT THIS DUMP!
View and location are great! New floors have been installed. That’s about it!
Someone else mentioned this was equivocal to Motel 6; I disagree 100%. Motel 6 is way better and much cleaner. Furnishings were old, mismatched, dirty and gross! The furnishings pretty much look like they were picked up in an alley. The couch, with cushions that don’t fit it, has a filthy slip cover on it with a very suspicious stain. My young adult daughter commented in disgust and jest, that she was afraid to sit on the couch for fear of getting pregnant from this gross stain.
The lamps were mismatched, dirty, and some were stained. Gross and ultra tacky.
The owner/manager said that this place had been deep cleaned. That may have been possible, but it certainly has not been deep cleaned in the last decade. Under the bed did not show any dust biuldup, however behind the doors and in corners were filthy.
The twin bed did not have sheets.
The owner/manger sent a message before we checked in about not using the microwave and coffee pot at the same time. This is obviously a problem he is aware of, and since it is an electrical situation, it should be taken care of. As far as the kitchen goes, it just felt grimy and we did not want to cook there.
Also, I was sent the message that the shower can back up; clearly this is a problem he knows about and is not taking care of. It’s unsanitary and gross. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOT STAY HERE!

The unit was more then I expexcted. Our family travels often and we like trying off brand resorts. This unit was one of the better places we have stayed. Loved the layout and amenities. High praises to the owner and booking agent. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for the great experience.

1. Parking was $50 a DAY and owner made it seem like parking was included until we arrived since I asked prior.
2. There was NO CUTTING BOARD and all kitchen equipment was so cheap. There was not even enough plates or cups for the number of people.
3. The shower in the master is obviously not included with a picture because it is a death trap with a 4ft tub included. My 74 year old father stayed in this room and could not use the shower at all.
4. The towels and linen seemed like they stole it from other motels because everything was mismatched and rough.
5. My brother stayed in a different VRBO in the same facility and to see their condo vs ours was obvious that this owner does not upgrade anything.

this place is great for location, close to the beach and the lagoon. downstairs is a great breakfast spot and a nice a cafe for bites/smoothies and an ice cream shop for the kids. the rest was not great. we had problems with the TV in one room and the door lock requiring multiple (one count was over 20 times) inputs to work. VRBO host deferred me to the onsite property manager who was rude, difficult to understand, and would say things like "this is always the TV with problems", or "the lock sticks sometimes. just keep trying". ultimately needed the cable company to fix the TV which was inconvenient timing. 'start up' supplies given for a 4 day stay were tiny! bath towel were rough, hard and old. beach towels and sheets in the second bedroom were stained. beds uncomfortable. bathtub had a strange very high edge that required us to sit on the edge and swing our feet over because it was not safe to step into it. for a 4 night stay this cost us over 3K, and it is NOT worth it!

Beautiful view down to the lagoon from condo balcony. We were front and center from the balcony for the Friday evening fireworks and avoided the traffic jam after the show. Walk to the beach and many beachside restaurants. We have a wonderful stay

It was very clean and the owner was very nice we would stay there again. Just one thing we could not get the second bedroom tv to work. But that was okay because we were not in the room long enough to watch tv.

It's a beautiful hotel setting. Restaurants and shops on site. The valet parking is cheap at $45 a night and the convince is worth it.
We saw turtles in the bay. But definitely wear shoes in the water, it's rocky.

From what we saw when we stayed there, you pay for the view. The condo is a little to be desired. Alot of old fixtures. Not extremely clean. My son crawled around and his knees where black. But the owner has good communication and the view is amazing and its such a quick walk to the beach and lagoon.

We had two main issues with the property, ignoring the suitable location and the fact that we had an overall good time in Hawaii.
First, the unit's floor was dirty (wear sandles, save your socks). Needs a steam clean, especially in the second bedroom.
Second, we didn't receive any check-in information until even after the check-in time. Two in my party was waiting for alerts, and we had to text the owner directly. When contacted, the owner said we didn't have a reservation, but called VRBO. They did release the information to me, but they never apologized and didn't seem to recognize they were contacting me (the reserving person) and not the party who texted them and were waiting to enter the unit.

Overall our stay was excellent. The 2br 2bath apartment met all of our expectations and was well kept. The view was wonderful and we could see the fireworks without obstruction. The apartment is located the perfect distance from the elevator...not too far when carrying things and not so close that you are constantly hearing riders. Again, overall, our stay was excellent. We would definitely stay again!!!

Never could get answers to very basic simple questions. If I called VRBO I was instructed to contact the owner and the owner stated I needed to contact VRBO. Was over charged due to an error of VRBO agent adding extra people to reservation in error. Said they couldn't fix and owner demanded I pay or reservation would be canceled with no refunds. I paid an extra $680. Condo itself was nice, great location and beautiful views.

We have stayed at the ilikai before and loved the location. Walking distance to everything you need. For the most part the room was clean and had the minimum of what we needed. Awesome views of the lagoon and beach, as well as Fright night fireworks. While we were there we noticed that a block/tile had fell (lost it’s stickiness) we tried to stick it back on but it just kept falling. I placed the tile on the fridge and emailed owner to make him aware. After check out, I was emailed and charged $700 for damage to the wall that the tile was hiding. I have challenged this charge with vrbo as well as sent the owner a message, which he will not respond too. I was really excited about this trip until was hit with this. The owner has taken down his listing as well.

Location is excellent. Views amazing. Plenty of space and everything we needed. Access to room instructions was sent about 24 hours before our arrival. We were already in transit and therefore didn’t, get instruction until we arrived. This was not ideal. Thanks for a great stay.

Well, it’s hard to figure out where to start. I’ve been so upset that it was probably best that I waited to cool off before making any comments. Basically, that was the worst lodging experience of my entire life. This condo looked as if it hadn’t been used in months. It was completely filthy from top to bottom. We didn’t even have a chance to unpack as we spent the first 2 ½-3 hours just cleaning it as best we could just to make it useable.
Then after calling about this issue we had to wait until 10:00 the next morning before a cleaning crew arrived to do a deep dive on this unit. So, we sat around and waited all morning for them to show up and then we had to leave for another 2-3 hours while they finished cleaning.
With that said, let me share a list of issues that we encountered upon our arrival.
1) The floors were completely filthy.
2) Everything hanging on the walls, pictures, mirrors, clock etc were covered in dust.
3) There was dust on the closet shelves.
4) There was thick dust under the beds and dressers.
5) The safe in the master bedroom was inoperable.
6) The sheets didn’t fit the beds.
7) The sofa was horribly uncomfortable. There was literally a piece of plywood under the cushions.
8) There were dirty dishes in the dishwasher.
9) Master bath shower curtains were filthy and stained.
10) Mirrors and pictures in master bath covered in dust.
11) Master bath countertop was dirty.
12) Soap holder in master bath shower had remnants of soap scum.
13) Found used razors in the second bath.
14) Master Bedroom AC unit was so loud it made it unusable for sleeping.
15) Top of the stove was filthy and was so bad that we couldn’t even get the stains off.
16) Fridge was filthy inside and out.
17) We had to run several cycles in the dishwasher to wash absolutely everything in every cupboard and drawer before we would even use any of it.
I’m sure there were a couple other items but this should give anyone a clear outline of what we experienced.
Considering how much we spent for this condo I would expect some kind of reimbursement to be forthcoming..

Hawaii is incredible but unfortunately the unit we stayed in falls short. The unit really needs a good cleaning and updating. It is very worn. The master bedroom is good sized. The master bathroom has a bath tab that is somewhat of a hazard. It is not an easy step in and is very high with the toilet right next to it. For the price we paid, the unit should be in better shape and better decorated. Location is the best attribute as it is a short walk to the beach. There is no garbage disposal so cleanup after a meal is unpleasant. You better prepare to stock the unit with dishwasher soap , garbage bags, and toilet paper. The A/C in the master bedroom is so loud we could not have it on at night. The unit is on the 13th floor of a hotel. Owner communication is slow. The information provided to us the day before arrived was good but information we could have used when booking several months ago. We just did not feel welcomed. Hawaii is unbelievable and we'll definitely be back but we would not stay at this unit again.
