Location is unmatched. Close enough to Waikiki, but far enough from the busy traffic. The unit is a bit dated, but checked all the necessary boxes. The unit was nicely cleaned and cooled when we arrived. My only complaint is that the provided linens were very basic and limited - something that could be easily fixed to make this an incredible stay. We would visit again!

The quiet end of Waikiki
This spot might be a little hard to find, but worth it. It is on the quiet end of Waikīkī, a short walk to beaches and restaurants. Very restful after a couple days on the opposite end of town. If I had to stay in that area again, this would be a better choice than the chaos and noise of the resort areas!

Good enough
We stayed in this building along with other friends. Group of 10, with 5 condos rented. It was nice to be able to sit in the community patio and grassy area as a group with an ocean view. We would all bring down our food and beverages in mornings and evenings. This allowed us hang out as a group without being in a restaurant. Building has everything needed for a nice stay. All units were clean and the response from property management was outstanding. It was great that everyone in my party could fine a room style that suited them and their budgets. We prefer this side of Waikiki so can get away from the noise and hustle in Waikiki proper. About the unit, giving 3 starts overall because the blinds really need to go. It's impossible to open the blinds and with them down all the time, I felt like I was living in a cage. Just like the photo shows, so I knew to expect those blinds, but it took me a couple days to get used to the experience. The blinds make it almost impossible to open the slider for a breeze. Everyone in my party agreed they would stay in this building again. I would consider a different condo, but this one is good enough. Higher the better, otherwise you'll be looking at roofs, but this is reflected in the price.

Waikiki 1 bedroom apartment perfect location
Nice unit to stay near Waikiki but avoid the crowds. Tranquil lawn and patio for watching the ocean and sunsets. Has wall unit air conditioners which are very loud. Nice kitchen set-up.. Needs some minor maintenance and cleaning detail. Walking distance (less than 1 mile on flat surface) to Waikiki, Waikiki Aquarium, Honolulu Zoo. Great views of Diamond Head. 2 doors down from the Elks Lodge and Outrigger Club.

Two stars
We stayed here mainly due to the proximity to the honolulu marathon. The unit is stripped to the bare minimum. There were four towels for the entirety of our 4 night-stay for 4 people. There were a few *critical* things (both tangible and conceptual) that were missing or lacking of. No toiletries were provided, and when I informed the host he did not apologize but rather said I should look harder as he is certain there is some in the bathroom. The inside of the unit did not appear to have been professionally cleaned. There were mold-like residue on the shower curtain. The exterior door is covered with grime. The blinds in the living room were not working and was left up, so we lacked privacy during our stay. I did alert the host about the issue, and again was told to try harder as he is certain it should be working. He eventually sent someone to look at it, and that person confirmed that it was indeed broken. No apologies from the host whatsoever. We decided not to pursue repairs as we are nearing the end of our trip, and did not want to be bothered with people going in and out of our space.
TL;DR
Unit was subpar and customer service. *Two stars at the most.*

Great stay
Nice clean unit with full kitchen in the diamond head area with a 10 minute walk to the action in Waikiki. Stayed many times in this building due to its quiet nature and easy beach access and proximity to everything. It was easy dealing with the manager Mark and all instructions were clear and concise. Only recommendation would be an upgrade to a King sized bed to make the unit even better. Great spot though. Enjoy!

Great location
Location was great, kitchen was fully equipped. Was a bit disappointed that the area immediately outside unit was very narrow, pictures had looked like it was big enough to sit. Kept the windows open the whole time but none of the windows on the south side would open so to get a cross breeze had to keep front door open. Blinds were very heavy and wouldn’t raise up but we just adjusted to let air through. Lots of beach accessories in the closet. Overall had a great time while there.

Ok with a few short comings
In general the stay was fine, but for an elderly person, the shower was dangerous for me (slippery tub, no grab bars and poor lighting). Most importantly,you have a security issue: mid morning on Aug 31st, somebody opened the door (602) (I had my back towards the door) for a second and closed it. Apparently, someone has a pass key (housekeeping?) no knock. That was not a good experience, needless to say I was not dressed.

Can’t beat he location
The location across the street from the park can’t be beat. Away from the hustle and bustle but only a short walk to Waikiki beaches. The condo was comfortable. A bit dated and the kitchen needed some organizing and a wipe down. Bath and bedroom were fine.

Very nice condo! We were more than happy within walking distance to beach and Waikiki restaurants and bars. It was a little cold the first few nights because of the weather so if you easily get cold bring warm blanket. Besides that everything was exceptional!!! Thank you we will be back again 😊

We really liked the location it was just far enough away from Waikiki to be away from the crowds but not too far to walk. If you’re using the bus it’s right next to a stop. If you have a car it’s easy to get on the road without waiting for traffic. They really go out of their way to make it feel like a home away from home.

Nice location/Needs a Makeover
Great location. Comfortable bed. Has everything you need. A washer/ dryer in unit would have been nice. No detergent for sale in the basement coin laundry. Well maintained but in need of renovation. Noisy window unit AC. Old windows and blinds that are difficult to open and close. Kitchen and bath cabinets and counters are from the 70’s at best. If you don’t spend much time inside this place is fine. Parking on the street worked fine. Spent a couple dollars on parking with a four night stay.

Southside of Waikiki
This VRBO unit is a nice place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. As you step out of this spacious unit you have an excellent view of Diamond Head, the extinct volcano. After a tiring flight and long wait for our luggage at Honolulu Airport, we arrived at our apartment complex on Kalakaua Ave. The first obstacle were the many lockboxes by the stairwell. We finally found our assigned number and obtained our key fob. Going into our unit was another obstacle as our assigned code to the door access didn't work. We called for assistance and the lock was reprogrammed and the situation was resolved quickly
This unit is fairly quiet and spacious for two people. The air conditioners are outdated and probably need to be replaced. They quickly cool the apartment but are loud. If you're a light sleeper, that may be a concern. There is the occasional loud motorcycle and trash truck passing by, but the many unique birds singing in the morning also let us know they were nearby. Spectacular sunsets were easy to watch by going to the first floor and watching from the small beach access available to the complex residents.
The unit has a powerful shower head, so much so that the shower curtain has a difficult time staying in place and blows with the wind created by the volume of water coming down. An adjustable flow shower head would be much appreciated. The kitchen is adequate for cooking simple meals but the pots and pans were stacked haphazardly, not at all stacked like the photo in the VRBO ad. One thing to be aware of, some of the dishware are NOT microwave safe! Additional kitchen towels would have been welcome as well. We only had one kitchen towel and had to use one of the bathroom hand towels.
Overall, the unit was clean, but a little outdated. It was quiet, except for the air conditioners.
