While we did not stay in the apartment that was pictured due to a booking mistake, Frank and company made it more than right by putting us in an upgraded apartment with an ocean view. We felt spoiled the entire time we were there with this once in a lifetime view of the mountains, downtown Honolulu, and the marina! If you have little ones, all of the apartments are a 5 minute walk to Duke Kahanamoku lagoon next to the Hilton! The water is pumped from the nearby ocean and is stocked with fish and there are fun water related rentals available including paddle boarding. Our 3 year old felt comfortable there with the shallow water and lack of waves.
The noise is minimal here. I would not recommend this place if you are wanting to do any loud partying as these apartments are also residential homes. Security is not necessarily friendly if they find out you are an “Air Bnb’er”, but that is no fault of Frank’s. Just follow the rules and there won’t be an issue.
Overall I can’t recommend this place enough if you want to have a more homey stay. We enjoyed being able to cook some of our own meals and eat while watching the sunrise/set and the board in the marina. We will be back!
