Where to begin...I simply do not give perfect ratings. But, for us, this condo gets 5 stars. First, Peter and his staff were incredibly great to work with. We not only rented the condo, but, engaged them for a ride from and back to the airport. The driver, Mali, was a lovely lady who was both helpful and informative...and...very polite and courteous. The cost value was excellent for us. The condo is only 3 blocks off of Waikiki beach and you'd have to work at it to take longer than 10 minutes to get there. The view of the ocean that one sees on the ad for this condo is really the view that one gets from the balcony. The condo is on the 12th floor and the only interruption of the panoramic view is a building that divides it into two sections; however, to the right and to the left of that building is a great view of significant ocean space - not quite a panorama, but, still so incredibly beautiful. We always wake early and we watched the sunrise each day as we read on the balcony. The condo is also a very short walk to upscale shopping and is half a block to the nearest bus stop which was incredibly helpful in getting around the island. We loved the fact that there was a king sized bed and it was very comfortable; we also found that the pillows were not the normal "hotel disappear when you lay your head down pillows"...they supported one's head & neck wonderfully. We ate our midday meals at one of the street vendor stands which were ubiquitous very nearby & stopped at one of the also ubiquitous ABC Stores and picked up a salad or pre-prepared sandwich. Thus, we didn't use the kitchenette at all except to make coffee. However, if we'd chosen to do so, it was adequate to the purpose. if you're looking for luxury to lounge about in, this is probably not the best choice for you; it's not really that, and, that's not what we were after. However(!), if you're looking for a place as a launching pad to surf, sit in the sun, swim, explore, shop or anything out and about this is a perfect place to land. It's comfortable, like being home, excellent environmental system, and we hated to leave it behind. I can't say enough positive about it; I recommend it highly.
