great location
Great location, great view but that comes from the front balcony. The building is positioned so that 80% of the unit faces the neighboring buildings with the short side of the building facing the ocean, which is beautiful, and that balcony is spacious, with ocean song. The only thing I would be concerned with is in the summer when all the air condoners are on, the song will be drowned out. The other thing to note is the mildew problem. The management simply needs to clean better. There is quite a bit of mildew odor that should have been removed long ago, that's just unacceptable. Note: there is no wheelchair accessibility to the restroom. Beach access is quick but not do-able for handicapped.

Awesome view of ocean
Wonderful location and easy access. With the gates at the front and back of the property we felt more secure rather then just being open. The full kitchen enabled breakfast and lunch with ease, and we went out for most dinners. Favorite time was on the deck overlooking for ocean for sunrises and sunsets! Enjoy!

Best location and views
This property is 5 star for its great location, fantastic view from the lanai and property manager's prompt replies to all inquiries. Mark is #1! That said there are a couple of quirks that only rate a 4 star experience: as mentioned you do have to go outside and around the corner to experience the most incredible view. The outdoor furniture is serviceable but has seen better days; The small indoor dining table has only three chairs but there are two bar stools at the counter; unlike other VRBO rentals you will not find any left over condiments. I assume this is because the weather takes a toll on dried spices etc. However we usually find an assortment of cooking oil etc in the fridge at other rentals. None of the above are deal breakers and we look forward to renting from Mark when we return to Oahu. Mahalo Mark and to your great crew.

Nice place to stay
Everything was very clean. Although the kitchen did not have a lot of supplies, it worked for us since we were only eating breakfast there. We all loved the deck overlooking the ocean. It was beautiful and very relaxing. We felt very safe and comfortable in the area and were glad not to be in the heart of waikiki. There is a park across from the complex, so green space nearby. I would recommend this condo.

No view from inside
The awesome view can only be seen when on the balcony/patio. There is no ocean view when inside the condo. This was disappointing to us. The air conditioner when out in the bedroom along with most electrical outlets. I contacted them around 9pm when we arrived home for the day but they didn’t respond. They responded the next morning after we already checked out and basically said it was our fault. Very disappointing.

I was expecting much nicer from the pictures.
I had to contact the company to get checked in. I was told the check in info was emailed to me, but I never found it. It was easy to do once we had the info. The location of the rental was very nice. The view from the lanai was magical. The issues I have, are that the title of the listing states “brand new”. The kitchen and bath had been updated, but there were very glaring problem areas. The completely tile floor had black to muddy looking grout lines in all of the high traffic areas and a light tan where it still looked clean. I’m sorry, but black grout all over the entire apartment is not clean. The outside walls of the apartment were mostly floor to ceiling windows. Well, the vertical blinds looked like they were original to the building. I tried to open some and they just did not budge. The main ones for the lanai worked, but were still gross. The shower looks like it was recently updated but with no exhaust besides a window in the shower, it looked terrible. If you ignored the plethora of gross vertical blinds, the grout on almost the entire floor, and shower floor, then it’s a great place. If that bothers you, then I would find a different place. I managed but it was constantly on my mind while at the apartment. Also, the air conditioners worked great, but they were located in annoying locations. One ac unit blows directly on your face in bed in the bedroom. We were able to block this with a suitcase. The one in the living room blew on you while on the couch. We tried to contact the company the night before checkout for an hour delayed checkout and didn’t receive an answer. We emailed at 8:30pm the day before. We called half a dozen times in the morning starting at 8 am and didn’t get an answer to our question until 5 minutes before check out, that the answer was, “no”. It being no would have been fine if they actually returned our call in a reasonable time.

Great space with lovely view to watch the sunset
Nice complex, well-maintained. The unit was spacious, clean and comfortable. The lanai wraps around 3 sides of the unit and was perfect for watching the sunset. There is no beach at this property but the beach next to the Kaimana a few doors down is great. The beaches of Waikiki are an easy 10 minute walk away. This is a great spot to stay - quieter than Waikiki but all the amenities there are easily accessible. Recommended.

Clean Spacious and Relaxing
We were here to visit our son. His aunt and uncle stayed in the Penthouse above (so we had something to compare our place to). Both were clean and lovely, but our place has a much larger footprint for entertaining. The large, covered lanai was great for napping and socializing without feeling cramped. The views from the lanai are beautiful. We will definitely stay here in the future!
