This is one of those units I would tell you is terrible just so I can book it whenever I want. It’s a great unit!
I’ve traveled a bit and this is the closest to the oceanfront I’ve ever stayed! You look out and all you see is sky and ocean. It’s an amazing sight. Wake up early and see the amazing number of stars like you’ve never seen before.
The unit has been somewhat updated and has a nice minimalist feel with good accents to make it feel fresh and luxe. The living and dining area are very clean and modern. There’s a huge wall mounted tv too!
The kitchen has every appliance you need, even a rice cooker! The cabinets and sink could use an update. Cabinets were painted white to give them a fresh look.
The bedroom was clean and has a really comfortable bed. But you’ll be spending minimal time in this room.
The bathroom could use an update but clean enough. Has an older hotel vibe to it as it had a metal tissue dispenser built into the front of the sink. But looking at the photos for other units they all have it. Tub/shower isn’t inviting for most girls but just fine for guys. Good water pressure and gets hot.
The community grills are awesome. Nice and clean Weber grills. The beach access is a breeze. You feel like you’re at a secluded beach. Didn’t get to try out the tennis court but the unit has rackets and balls. Unit also has a pair of binoculars so you can stare in the ocean and spot turtle and whales and others. Some of the other reviews from other units have talked about homeless people. It is not an issue. There’s some homeless people that live off to the side that camp. They don’t come to the beach. They don’t bother you. We had our 1 year old with us and we felt completely safe. There are far more homeless in Waikiki that scare me more.
Friendliest security and staff. Penny is great. Best meal for us was a Banh Mi & Boba in Wainaine. Get the lemongrass chicken. Pass on the pork. Ok now I’m rambling because this place just creates great memories. Don’t think twice and just book it.
