Perfect location for Waikiki stay. The unit looked brand new. Slept wonderfully in the king size bed. My 14yr son slept on the sofa bed... no complaints. Even when the bed is open there is still enough space to move around. The city view from balcony was pleasant. There is a comfortable community room on the rooftop (just below the pool) so you can still enjoy the ocean view without paying for the ocean view.
It's enclosed, we took our coffee up to enjoy in the mornings and my son went up quite often to get his instagram photos. Gorgeous View!!! Rooftop pool ups the view even a few more notches.
It can be quite windy. Pool was pleasant... refreshingly cool .. not one of those keep moving or freeze pools. The hot tub was good but the wind really gusts around that side of bldg. Tiny kitchen but has stove top and microwave.
Good supply of utensils.
Communication was excellent. We received an email and phone call to say the unit was ready. Front desk was very helpful. Easy checkin/check out and they printed a tour voucher that we needed.
The location was outstanding. We loved being right in Waikiki. Bus stop just steps away. We took the bus everywhere. $12-15 per day for a family of 4 -all day passes. (Sure beat the rental car money we just paid on the Big Island) Some rides can be a little long 2hrs one way to the Kualoa Ranch (Jurassic Park filmed there) But the ride is so beautiful and then the usual driver gets to see everything too. 1 hour ride each way to Pearl Harbor.
20 min ride to Ala Moana Center / WalMart / Target These are so close to bus stop. We took our back packs to carry everything easier. There are plenty of small markets and food a block from the condo.
The beach is so close!!!
It was just perfect. Loved the beach chairs in the unit.
They were so convenient for our days on the sand.
Boogie Boards $15 at Target (dont pay $50 on the beach) Water shoes/reef walkers.. go to Ross Dress for Less It's in
walking distance right by Duke's Marketplace.
(or walmart/ Target (NOT the swim/sports section -way over priced. look in sovereigns by escalator)
Absolutely adored Waikiki.
I love a beach right in the middle of the city. Convenience, nature and tons of food and shopping choices.
We looked at 100s of units for our 3 weeks in Hawaii.
The first few days we were just 1 block away and it was no where near as nice as this rental. Air Conditioner worked perfectly. (even HI needs AC in August)
Elevators can get crowded midday. I thought the laundry machines were high $3 per load but i didn't price shop the laundromat
across the street.
Would look for and recommend this unit and this bldg for trips to Honolulu. A+++
