We gave this condo 5 stars for several reasons. The location was great, 2 short blocks down the beautiful beach, 2 steps to the right we are in the heart of Waikiki full of nightlife and shopping and 2 steps to the left and its snorkel city. The lanai offered stunning views of both the ocean, city AND mountains. The beach umbrella, chairs, and outdoor drying rack was wonderful all under the bask of quiet air-conditioning. Parking and security are excellent and we felt safe and secure. The beds are firm and the owners quick to respond to any questions. We do need to say that we were disappointed at the lack of kitchen basics such as coffee, pepper, oven mitts, and oven Bake ware. We wanted to be able to cook and so we bought supplies but the oven wouldn't hold the heat. So we wasted money on food and ended up eating out. But I'm sure that most people would like to enjoy the restaurants anyway!
