Rented the unit for a 9 day vacation with my significant other. We had a wonderful time and had everything we needed for a long stay. The condo is nicely remodeled with thoughtful touches. We had a small issue with our bedroom AC unit but Mark was very responsive. A maintenance worker was over to fix the problem quickly.
Pros:
- Location in Waikiki was amazing. Everything was within walkable distance. The beach is about a 2-3min walk across 2 streets. There is also an store with groceries, toiletries, and anything else you may have forgotten around the corner.
- Parking is included. We did not do a long term rental car (we did daily rentals through Hui). However, parking can be difficult and expensive in Waikiki. Having a secure parking space option was great.
- Building is very secure. You need to swipe to get into the main common area and again to get to the stairs up to the units.
- Lots of amenities available. There are foldable chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling masks, fins, and boogie boards that can be taken out to the beach. There is also an outdoor shower to rinse your feet off before going to your unit.
Cons:
- Street can get noisy on the weekends and holidays. There is a big window in the bedroom made of glass slats that close on top of each other (seems to be the norm for a lot of older buildings in Waikiki). The street noise comes straight through. I recommend bringing ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper.
Overall would stay again for the value.
