This condo was spot on for us. The view was calming and consistently relaxing as we watched the marina activities of boats moving around as well as all the vessels in the ocean beyond. The location was in the edge of the dense Waikiki hotels and beaches and unlike so many, our balcony/lanai view was perfect. The owner placed a shudder across one side of the lanai that affords you privacy without obstructing your view. You have no buildings or such in your line of sight either. It is also very convenient for catching the bus and there is a great little grocery store within any easy walk. We agree that a few things could be updated slightly but we would stay in this particular condo again without any hesitation.
