This property featured beautiful sunsets over the marina and on the ocean. Comfortable bed. Hot showers. Small but functional kitchen for our cooking needs. Convenient onsite parking so we could come and go as we wished in our rental car. It fit our needs well.

Really nice owner, easy communication and fast responses. This hotel is old with the AC in the wall loud when working, so if you are sensitive to the noise while sleeping it would be disturbing, mattress is comfortable, linens soft and good quality.

loved the view from the room

My opinions/experience as a mobility challenged but young at heart senior: CONS: 1) Air contitioner maintenance is annoying and not discussed till you get check in info. Owners did accommodate my physical limitations and arranged for someone to handle for me. For able bodied person, prob minimal issue. 2) Noisy location which honestly is to be expected given it's Waikiki and bustling harbor, which I didn't consider prior to booking. Not much peaceful serenity, but convenient and massive sunset views. 3) No bellman/bag service before 9am or after 8pm. That's a Building thing, not a Unit thing. I was able to make special arrangements for my 5:30am departure tho. 4) Bed is comfy but high (for short or disabled). Owners went out of their way to provide excellent sturdy stepstool for me, but still it was awkward getting into bed. 5) Unit was well equipped, but everything in kitchen quite vintage. PROS: 1) Convenient building location and amenities, with Hertz/Dollar rental on site. 2) Valet parking while pricey ($45/night) was excellent, very quick to bring car up. 3) Sunset views are MASSIVE and xtra pretty with harbor in foreground. 4) Plenty of comfy seating on balcony to enjoy watching surfers, paddleboarders, boats, and planes! 5) OUTSTANDING prompt, kind, courteous and helpful communications with Owners!

Lovely view of surfers, outriggers, harbor. Hotel has ample amenities. Tiki lighter a highlight! Thanks for great communication.

This unit was as listed. The view was nice. The lobby of the hotel was nice but the outside and upper hallways were dated. The location is in the midst of a "big city feel". If you like a lot of people and that vibe, this will be great for you. A couple of things we didn't prefer was the AC was old and with the huge windows, it was hot in this unit when we arrived. I would guess the owner is not in the state so I can understand not running it all the time if no one is staying however I wasn't sure I was going to be able to sleep with it being so warm and I was certainly concerned about sleeping on the futon to be near the air. But as it worked out, it cooled off just enough to sleep in the bed. Also, you had to empty the water from the AC unit each day as it pooled up outside on the balcony from the high humidity. That wasn't preferable. The beach towels definitely need to be replaced as they were very worn and thin. One other suggestion is the ice cube trays could have been filled with water so that we could have had ice for our stay. They were in the freezer empty. The beach was very busy but there were plenty of other beaches within driving distance if you prefer a quieter scene.

Great place and even better location! I can highly recommend this place. It was perfect for us!

The view was amazing to wake up to every day! The location was the most convenient and perfect in relation to all the local spots. Our hosts even accommodated us with early check in which was the biggest plus! I can’t say enough positive things! Even though the place was a little dated, everything was functional and worked perfectly for us. Great first VRBO experience in Hawaii!

I read all the reviews on this property and I would say they are pretty spot on. The communication with Kiersten (Josh) was friendly, prompt and so helpful. The condo is dated and not fancy, but it is clean and welcoming. The bed is extremely comfortable and my adult son slept on the futon and said it was great. The kitchen is well equipped (we didn’t use anything but the fridge) and there were added touches like a few laundry pods, a deck of cards and a few beach chairs and a cooler. I can’t express enough how good the view is. This is our first trip to Waikiki and it left a huge impression, there was so much to watch from the balcony and it easily holds 4-5 chairs. We are in a fancier hotel downtown Waikiki for the rest of our trip with “ocean views” and it does not even come close to the views from this condo. If your goal is to be on water, with show-stopping views this is the place for you and as long as you know it’s not a 5* resort your stay will be amazing!

My family and I just returned home from spending 10 days on Oahu in this condo on the 15th floor of the Ilikai hotel. First thing that grabbed our attention was the view. Amazing! The condo itself was clean and well appointed. The kitchen itself is not new but everything worked, and together with the condo as a whole, had a definite retro vibe that harkens back to the original “Hawaii Five-0,” where the hotel was prominently featured. It’s charming. The location is also ideal. The heart of Waikiki is a half a mile in one direction and the Ala Moana Mall is less than a half a mile in the other direction. Beach access is a short walk behind the hotel, and the two pools were convenient when we didn’t feel like getting sand between our toes and in our bathing suits. The condo was a perfect place for us to have Portuguese sausage and eggs for breakfast, was a good location for us to leave from to explore the island, and get a good shower and a good night’s sleep before the next day’s adventure.

Host was always helpful and had great communication. Easy check in and check out. We had a great time.

We booked this property based on the view and it did not disappoint! The beds were comfortable and the space clean. Communication with the property owners was easy and fast… thank you for creating a home away from home with a decent price!! Would definitely stay here again!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this VRBO. The unit is exactly as described, convenient location, easy walk to beach, stores & restaurants. Although we had many of our evening meals on the lanai enjoying the sunset view. Property manager responded to inquiries immediately. We will stay here again!

This adorable condo was perfect for our needs while in Waikiki! Beautiful views from the balcony and a nice location. We were walking distance to beaches, shopping, and restaurants. The place was very clean and the bed was super comfy! Slept like a baby! It was the perfect size for my husband and I! I would definitely stay here again! Communication with Keirsten was great as well!

This place was amazing, my wife and I just went in June and loved it! Chris was super helpful and very responsive the whole time we were there.

Overall the listing is very accurately described. Nice view of marina and ocean from the balcony. Pool was good and bar restaurant in hotel was good with lots of choices within walking distance. parking is expensive and the other options of marina lot and public parking make it better but its a pain sometime finding a spot for the $1 overnight parking - not anyone's fault - just the dynamics of the area

The condo was as described. We enjoyed staying there. We weren’t wowed by the place, but we weren’t expecting to be.

Exactly as advertised, central, great view, very quiet.

We had a wonderful time. Perfect view. Easy check in. Everything we needed was there or close by.

This condo was exactly as expected, they didn’t hide anything. The view to the harbor was gorgeous and we really enjoyed our stay.

The room wasn't as clean as we hoped, the shower was pretty dirty as well as the floors other than that it was okay.

Everything was great. Communication with owners was easy and they answered questions quickly. Bed was super comfortable and view is sunsets was amazing.

Was a grest stay, owner communicated quickly with any questions we had. Place was clean with all amenities listed!

As I write this review I’m on the Lanai again! We love the mornings having coffee and watching the marina boats and all the harbor activities! We have 30 surfers to look at too! Very cool and peaceful! We will come back someday!

Beautiful property

Great location. Great view. Great host.

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. The apartment is well set up with all of the appliances, cookware (although we either dined out or are pre prepared meals) flatware and dishes. The view is extraordinary with beautiful sunsets watched from the balcony. An observation for folks who might be preparing meals more extensively, you will be required to supply everything including salt and pepper. The apartment is not supplied with meal prep basics. There is a first class grocery store in the Alamoana shopping complex located about one mile from the Illikai where this apartment is located. Bottom line. Great communication from hostess. Lovely and very comfortable. Stunning view. Good location. I could live there easily.

Lovely condo conveniently located at the start of Waikiki Beach. Everything was exactly as advertised. Checkin was quick and easy. Everyone at the ilikai was friendly and welcoming. The host was quick to respond to questions and reached out to us to make sure we settled in nicely. We highly recommend this place. Oh, did I mention the best place to watch the sunset is from lanai.

Located near everything you could possibly need for a relaxing vacation. Restaurants, groceries, ice cream, retail stores, beach, pools... all within a stone's throw distance. The condo is perfectly positioned for the best view after a restful slumber in the comfy bed. Dinners on the lanai offer the most beautiful sunsets. The room was everything it was advertised to be. The owners were quick to respond to any correspondence that we sent. We look forward to the next time we visit Waikiki! Thank you so much, Keirsten and Chris

Condo with excellent views from the terrace in the low key, friendly Ilikai Hotel and Suites. Unit was a bit disappointing due to the worn and dated tile in kitchen, bath and shower stall. There was Inadequate lighting in living space and water from air-conditioner needed to be emptied regularly. As a frequent renter, I rely on reviews that lead to clear expectations. Communication with hosts was excellent. If you overlook the tiredness of the unit, the views are stunning.

We had a fantastic stay in Waikiki. The location of the property was wonderful. We were a short walk from the beach, some iconic hotels, and sights. The property owners were super friendly and had great suggestions on food and supplies. We loved our stay here!

and found the location and hotel very favorable. The beach is only a 5 minute walk and the view from the room was great. Would recommend Garth and Barb
