I was very happy with the location and facilities. I would not recommend for more than 2 guests as the 3rd bed space was an air mattress. ##### Jacinta S. Stayed 12 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allen H. 12 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Property worked out great for me. Came to Waikiki to meet some friends who were staying at a very expensive hotel one block away. Property was clean, quiet, very comfortable and a quick walk to beach. Nice little kitchen and grocery store a block away...prepared a quick breakfast every morning before hitting surf. Got lucky and scored a South swell in November (4-6')...and, surf shop a block away with premium boards available to rent! I'd definitely stay here again! ##### Allen H. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miki 18 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Amazing! Super clean, beautiful decor, lots of thoughtful touches. Nice building with nice pool and court area. Super close to beach (2-3 blocks), 4 ABC stores within 2 blocks in most directions. And amazingly quiet and peaceful even though it’s close to the hustle and bustle! There’s a small Keurig and dishes /silverware. Condo has great layout and does not feel claustrophobic. I can’t wait to stay here again! The hosts obviously invested much thought, care, and loving touches. You will feel welcome, safe, relaxed, and happy at this lovely place. Seriously wonderful! ##### Miki Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jennifer m. 20 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location We enjoyed our stay.

Owners are extremely responsive! The building is a bit dated, but the pool/ hot tub is lovely. If you are looking for an extremely affordable landing pad from which to explore Ohau, this is your place!! Thanks for sharing your apartment!! ##### Rich M. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Christine L. 9 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great location to amenities We enjoyed our stay at this unit as it was close to Waikīkī Beach and other amenities nearby. The room was clean. The tub was a bonus for my 4 year old. Only inaccuracy was that the room was advertised as for 4 people but the pull out sofa bed we got was blue (not the one in green in the photos) and it only sleeps 1 person so it would be more accurate to say the room can accommodate 3 people, not 4\. Overall, great value for the location and space. ##### Christine L.

Didn’t have anything negative occur other than the water being turned off for 2 hours for a day but we weren’t even in the room. Parking was difficult to locate due to the property’s garage being renovated. ##### Jacob S.

If you have a car, it is very much worth it to arrange for parking in the basement garage. The pool and hot tub in the bar area are great! ##### Benjamin B.
