When they say it's a 3.5 minute walk to the beach, it's true! The views from this condo are amazing, and you can see the ocean from almost every room in the place! Hard to believe that when you wake up in the morning, you can see the ocean from the bed!
We had a great stay here and there was good communication and clear instructions regarding check-in and check-out. We did have a minor issue with our kitchen faucet when it stopped working. But since we still had water in the bathroom it wasn't a huge deal to us, mostly an inconvenience. It did take close to 48 hours to get that resolved, which seemed a little longer than should have been the case, but overall we were appreciative of the responsiveness of Mark and his team in getting it fixed.
The condo was clean and as described, although a few of the glasses were smudged and didn't look super clean, so we just washed a few things before using them. The kitchen is stocked with the basics, and we ended up having quite a few meals there to keep things a little more affordable for us.
The bed was very comfortable for us, with a variety of pillows provided. Beach towels were also provided. The bathroom is updated and the shower is great (with an additional rain shower head in it as well).
Everything was pretty much as described and as we expected it. The building itself is a little dated, but the staff was friendly and getting in/out was pretty easy. The elevators could be a little slow at peak times, but we never had to wait more than a few minutes. We didn't think we would have a car, but a friend ended up loaning us one and we were able to get free street parking a few blocks away each night so we didn't have to pay for parking (although the building does have a paid garage).
Overall it was a great stay, with things being pretty much as described. We felt like it was a great value for the cost, and the location is amazing. We walked each morning toward the aquarium and zoo, and each evening in the other direction into the heart of downtown Honolulu. Since the unit is on the 27th floor, street noise wasn't an issue for us at night. We would stay here again!
