  We spent our 35th wedding anniversary at this beautifully decorated condo. The modern kitchen, comfortable furniture, and beautiful decor made us feel like we were at home, with the exception of Hawaii weather vs. Chicago cold. The views from the lanai were breathtaking! Every morning we saw a rainbow (sometimes a double rainbow) over the marina skies, reaching into the ocean blue. We had stayed at the Ilikai two years, but in a hotel room. No comparison to the home-like feeling of this great condo. Linda knows how to decorate, for sure! The e-mail communication before we arrived was always prompt, and Linda's extra-added touch of calling us on our first day to ensure that everything was OK was most welcome. If and when we come back to Waikiki, we know where we will be staying - you bet - 1737 at the Ilikai. Thank you Linda for a great vacation home! Aloha and Mahalo! Dennis and Janice

  We wanted a convenient location with great ambiance. When we spotted this Ilikai condo we knew we had found a perfect place to stay. I was returning to the islands for my 40th reunion as a kamaina and wanted a fabulous ocean view with the possibility of shopping nearby and easy access to great morning walks, evening entertainment, and short commutes to family, friends, and events. The condo was beautifully appointed and the owner made sure we had everything we needed. Even boogie boards to body surf at Makapuu. The vacation management staff was very helpful and the hotel staff, from the concierge to the shops, first class. We highly recommend it and will happily stay here in the future.

  This was our first time to Hawaii and this condo made it especially fun. The view is great to wake up to and go to sleep to at night. The location is good with a lot of good restaurants to choose from within walking distance. Loved having a full kitchen to stay in some evenings and to bring left overs home to. Spacious bathroom. Linda was very accomodating and gracious and made it very easy to secure this rental

  We just returned from our stay and what can we say, we were there for the four of July fireworks and what a show, the view is great from this condo giving you a view of the harbor and sea. The condo came well equiped with everything you need for your stay including some great items for the beach. The unit was well maintained and very clean. We found everything we needed to make our stay perfect. This unit is right were you need to be, four block walk to a grocery store with good prices, on a main bus route which we took to Pearl Harbour and had a free shuttle to catch at front of building to Hilo Hattie. In 15 minutes on a leisurely walk you can be at Hard Rock Cafe, Margarettaville, Cheese cake restraunts and tons of name bran shopping, great trails and paths for the early morning jogger. We were never bored and always had somewhere to go or see, a quick trip to the lobby and out the back and you are on the beach in less than 5 minutes, again great views, sand and restraunts in walking distance. Make sure you go to the Ala Moana mall great shopping and there is a grocery store and drug store with great prices for your everyday needs and a fraction of the price you would pay at ABC stores, which is also across the street as well as a Mcdonalds. Linda was a pleasure to deal with and answered all our questions and was perfect to deal with. I would go back in a flash, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to be in the middle of the action but has a home away from home to return to, including the view, nice kitchen and area to watch TV and kick back. It was a pleasure to stay here and call it home for the week.

  This condo is just perfect. Having a little apartment of our own for the week was so relaxing. Unlike a hotel, you can go "home" between activities, make something to eat, hang out on the lovely lanai or the living room and head back out again. It was nice not to have to worry about leaving our computers and things in the apartment. The big bed was super comfortable, the kitchen well appointed, and the bathroom had tons of counter space (really helpful). The food store a few blocks away was really cool, and we were able to stock up for ourselves, and enjoy many meals at home when we wanted to. The building is great- we loved the location on the quieter end of Waikiki, and being on the ocean/marina side of the building was really quiet for sleeping at night. No small thing! The views are so pretty from the lanai, I could sit there all day (but didn't). Every day we walked along the beach or the street side through Waikiki and back again, and it was a terrific place to come home to. The apartment is decorated so nicely, many of the other rental apartments are not, and Linda was amazing. From our first email she was over-the-top helpful and accommodating. We really appreciated this because we had never rented from "by owner" before, and so didn't know what to expect. She really took care of us. We don't have a single negative thing to report. Thank you Linda!!! xox, L2

  We truly enjoyed our stay in your condo! The upgrades and decorations were so nice. The bed was very comfortable and the spacious bathroom was a delight. The view was spectacular and the sunsets were amazing! We enjoyed sitting out on the lanai so much. We had a wonderful vacation and would recommend your condo to anyone. We loved having the extra space and storage closets. Thanks so much for taking care of us and providing great information for our stay. We really appreciate it and hope to come back again in the near future.

  This condo has an exceptional view. Full straight on view of the harbor, ocean, Ala Moana Beach, and coastline and mountains beyond. And of course the sunset. Plus plenty of city lights at night. The spacious lanai, thoughtfully equipped with the high table and chairs to see unimpeded over the railing, made it easy to enjoy the views day or night. The condo is beautifully remodeled, and well maintained. It felt brand new. For a compact condo (500 s.f. plus lanai) the kitchen and bathroom are surprisingly spacious. Liberal use of mirrors, plus the inviting lanai, make the space seem larger than it is. Nice layout: most condos are long and narrow to get as many units lined up for the view. Not Ilikai. The condos are squarish, so the living room and bedroom are both on the view side, which is completely floor-to ceiling windows. The condo is equipped as well as it could be, including some nice extras like beach chairs, beach bag, boogie boards, etc. The Ilikai is an old (1960's) hotel; however the common areas have, for the most part, been very nicely updated. In particular, the elevators and the tower hallways were just gorgeous! I love staying in older places that have been updated, but that still show the original style, which to me is more fun and "Hawaiian" than the new lodging places. Our only negative is the noise level on the lanai, due to street noise from Ala Moana Blvd. (it is not in front of you, it is to the right) and from the building machinery (maybe a.c. units for the hotel common areas?). But hey, this is Waikiki, not Kauai, and the noise was a minor disturbance that disappeared with the lanai door closed.

  Staying in this condo is part of the reason we consider Waikiki to be a slice of Heaven! Absolutely anything needed for a great stay is available in the condo---Linda has thought of everything! The location & condition of the condo are top notch---we are already talking about our "next visit" ! The Ilikai is away from all the hustle & bustle, but a short walk puts you right in the heart of it all. The very best of both worlds. Spend your holiday here and you can't help but have a wonderful time! Mahalo to the owners for sharing their beautiful "home away from home".

  We stayed in Linda's condo for 12 days. Linda was very helpful and responsive from the first time we contacted her. She made our trip to Oahu very enjoyable. The condo is in great shape: very very clean, newly remodeled with incredible views. It really felt like a home away from home. We will come back to Oahu and hopefully stay in the same condo because we enjoyed our time there. We will recommend Linda's property to our friends.
