Deluxe Panoramic View Apartment - Heart of Waikiki
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Island Colony
I chose this beautiful apartment because of the view from the living room and the lanai off the bedroom. Every day you see Rainbows.
Beside it is the largest apartment in the building, I wanted a comfortable place for families. My family stays here when they come to Hawaii to visit.
It is 1 block from(Starbucks)+ all the restaurants and shopping and 2 blocks from the beach, every one is happy.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
It also has a very large pool, jacuzzi and sauna.
And Roberts airport shuttle drops you off and pick you up right in front for only $9.00.
I like to run and walk so the Ala Wai Canal the apartment is located on is perfect.
Surfing and surf board rentals as well as instructors, canoeing, sailing and wonderful food.

We love staying at the island Colony because of the location close to the beach and the strip and this condo is much nice than the standard rooms at the hotels. Also, having access to beach chairs was a bonus. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and he was very helpful in responding to any questions and ensuring that i was satisfied.

This condo was rented for business purposes; i was attending to business in Hawaii. Staying in this condo was awesome; the full size kitchen was a god send. I had choices, the ability to eat in after an exhausting day or i could go out to dinner at the multiple choices i had to pick from. The Condo is beautiful. I had workspace to use my laptop with the provided high speed internet. I also had the option to sit out on the Lanai (patio) to do work. I didn't try it because i know i can't work while i'm staring out at the beautiful view. I also had the joy of watching the sunrise from the Lanai or really anywhere in the condo. Being on the 12th floor was great because i slept with the Lanai doors open every night. Another wonderful thing about the condo has nothing to do with the condo, but with the fact that i was about 5 minutes from the beach. I enjoyed walking in the surf or the boardwalk along Waikiki. I think this was the most relaxing business trip i've ever been on. By the way parking was a breeze, behind the building there is parking at $.25 an hour. Thanks Roger for the ease of use and the ease of registration. I enjoyed every bit of my time in your condo.

We stayed here for a week in March and really enjoyed being so close to all the shopping, and the beach as well. The beautiful mountains and the rainbows were a lovely daily treat from each of the lanais. We loved being able to walk to Waikiki for dinner and then stroll back afterward in the evening breeze. We didn't drive the entire time we were there and loved it! A couple of days we didn't even leave the building but instead lazed around the pool deck (on the 6th floor of the building), took a nap and then in the evening decided what to do for dinner. I loved being able to fix my own coffee in the morning, or have a snack without having to go out somewhere and pay top dollar. Roger, the owner, is very responsive to any requests and is full of suggestions about places to go and things to see. I'll definitely book it again next time we come to Hawaii. Thanks Roger!

My family and I stayed for a week here and it provided all that we needed for a perfect stay. We enjoyed the location as it was close to everything (within walking to shopping, restaurants, and the beach). We had plenty of room as my husband and I shared the bedroom and our two boys (ages 12 and 9) slept in the front room. We were able to cook meals in the kitchen which was convenient and also able to do laundry (a must with kids!). The close proximity to the park was also a plus for morning walks/exercise. Our host was kind and helpful. Great place to stay especially if you plan on staying a while. We will definitely be back!

hot and smelly; no shower

Not a very good stay for us. From the get-go, the shower was only a trickle. When we finally got in touch with someone, we given two options: either go w/o a shower while they get someone to fix it, or suffer. We suffered. We were not offered any compensation for this major inconvenience other than an half-hearted apology. The only a/c is in the bedroom. The rest of the apartment is uncomfortably hot. The apartment is one door away from the trash chute. The apartment reeks of garbage. Not only that but people use the chute at all hours which wakes you up in the middle of the night. The staff of the building is hostile/unfriendly. One particularly nasty older woman works the parking garage booth. We had to deal with her slowness and griping every day. She would lecture us over using a credit card, or paying for each night separately every single time we exited.
Owner response:I must say in all the years i have had this unit, this is the first negative review, but it is a review.I am sorry they were unhappy. I as the owner was not informed of the shower situation for 3 days into their stay( of 1 week), but upon hearing of it, sent someone right over to asses the problem and get a new shower head installed and cold water valve ordered. As the owner I wish I had gotten a call about any of the other complaints, I would have gladly handled them immediately. My guests experience is my #1 goal as can be seen by the other reviews.

I recently spent 5 weeks at this condo, and found it to be very well equipped. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, dishes, glasses and even a great blender. There are plenty of towels (including beach towels), bedding and beach supplies. The views are incredible and the lanai is a lovely place to eat and relax. I found the facilities to be convienent and clean. We made good use of the sauna, pool, laundry room and convienence store. I would highly recommend this condo for great value, security and location. Roger was very prompt with returning the damage deposit as well. I can't wait to return to this home away from home! Thank you for a great place to stay.

My wife and i stayed in the condo for 2 months and we loved it. The condo itself is beautifully decorated, and the location in Waikiki is perfect. The views from the lanai are magnificent, especially at night. I highly recommend this unit.

The condo fit our needs perfectly while in Oahu. Two blocks off the beach, great view of the mountain. The personnel down at the hotel desk were very friendly. Easy access to public transportation, if you don't have a car, and an easy walk to mostly everything in Waikiki. Except for a couple of meals out, we actually cooked in the condo and had some nice quiet time as well as the hubbub of Waikiki. Thank you for a nicely designed getaway.
