Did you mom ever tell you not to judge a book by its cover? This private paradise is why. Once you enter inside the unit, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Each room had an AC (although they are hidden behind curtains). The kitchen was equipped with tons of kitchen gadgets and serving-ware. It can really sleep 9, although we just slept 7. And they have beach chairs, umbrellas and towels for you. This is a city or building view but just go down stairs and be at the ocean or the shops or a restaurant. You could likely spend a few days without even driving out of the complex. The location is so convenient and the private parking spot saved us so much time. We even fit a suburban in the spot. I recommend staying here especially for a large group.

Our three generational family of 7 stayed here. Very clean and worked well for us. Appreciated the amenities. Host very responsive when we struggled with shower. The check in process was not easy to follow as it appears to be out dated. Thankfully, another tennant overheard our frustration and shared the parking fob was on the key in lock box. Fob is also used in elevator and another helped us with that. (There is no parking pass to obtain.) Only 1 elevator worked and this is on 16th floor so there is a lot of waiting during high peak hours and shuffling key fob around to get our group up or down.

I’d give this property a 3.5/5.The condo itself is nicely updated, and having a washer in the unit was incredibly convenient. The hosts also provided beach towels, which was a thoughtful touch. The location is great, It’s within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and shopping. Having a free parking space in the garage was another big plus.Unfortunately, the biggest downside was the building’s entrance. The only access is through an alley off Prince Edward Street. As a group of eight women, we often felt uncomfortable walking through the alley because there were frequently homeless individuals and people who appeared to be under the influence. Since we explored Waikiki mostly on foot, we had to use the alley multiple times each day, which took away from our overall experience.The building itself is older and requires a key fob to enter the building and operate the elevator. With only two key fobs provided for our group of eight, it became inconvenient since we weren’t always going to the same places at the same time.Would we stay here again? Probably not. While the condo itself was nice and the location was convenient, we didn’t feel comfortable with the building access. That said, other travelers may feel differently depending on their group and comfort level.
