Great stay, host and directions were clear. Perfect location out of Waikiki but close enough to walk. Great little nearby beaches, parking was easy to navigate just across the street. Lovely balcony views of Diamondhead and sunset views from the common waterfront area.

The room was well equipped. We used the hot plate several times and it worked great! The room even had some extra items like sunscreen and bug spray which we appreciated! The elevator did break a few days in, but we were there in the middle of a crazy storm and heard lots of elevators in other buildings were breaking also. The bed was pretty comfortable and the window ac unit kept the room cool. The hosts were great at checking in and seeing how things were going, but we did struggle a bit figuring out how to check in, as the instructions were hard to find on the app. We liked that it was close enough to walk to the beach and there is a little convenience store that was close by. Did not notice a lot of road noise and it was pretty quiet at night which was nice. We were able to find parking pretty easily across the street. Overall a great place and we would come back! Thanks!

Chose the property for the location and it did not disappoint. Close enough to everything but in the quiet end of things. Friendly guests would hang out with us on the patio or garden. Owner and property managers were terrific. Will definitely be back.

Nice condo, has everything you need for the beach. We appreciated the chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, and snorkels. The bed is comfortable, and it was great to have all the little extras like coffee, tea, lotion, and phone chargers. There’s a mini fridge and a hot plate, and all the pans and dishes so you could cook some small meals if you wanted to. The view from the large deck of Diamondhead is absolutely incredible. You’re right on the water at the back of the hotel, it’s a nice hangout spot on a lawn with beach chairs and tables. You can walk to some stairs behind the hotel that take you down right into the water, to a pretty good snorkel or surfing spot. There’s not a beach right at the property. There is a lovely mellow little private sandy beach about a block away, there’s directions to it on the hotel door. I wish the curtains were a little darker, you definitely have some bright sun coming in early in the morning. A bigger fridge would be a nice addition. Also watch out, we had a swimsuit blown off the deck by the wind, but we managed to get it back from the people below us. The place is pretty quiet, even though it’s right above the street, it’s not super busy. This condo is on the fourth floor. Getting in and out is easy with a code to the room door and a lockbox with a key to get into the gated hotel. We had the pleasure of meeting the condo owner at checkout, he is a very nice and helpful man.

We would definitely stay in this unit again. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony with the beautiful fountain, and public park across the street, and watching the activity of joggers and walkers, and the wonderful view of Diamond Head. The Unit was clean and had a lot of extras, (beach chairs, beach umbrellas, small coolers, beach mat) We also enjoyed the coffee! If you’re an Elk’s member, the beautiful Waikiki Elk’s Club is a couple of buildings down the street and has good and reasonably priced food and drinks. While there is no swimming beach at the hotel, the ocean side common area patio is lovely. We walked a few blocks to the public beach and enjoyed our days swimming, reading, relaxing, and people watching.

This rental was a true gem!! We loved the location and the apartment was just perfect for us. I thought parking may be a problem, but it totally wasn't! Free parking right across the street by Kapiolani park from 6 pm-10 am. Then it is cheap hourly meter parking from 10am-6 pm. Enjoyed our morning coffee out on the lanai with great views of Diamond Head- can't wait to return!

Great stay!

The condo was exceptionally clean and comfortable. There were treats greeting us, as well as water, which was very welcoming. It is in a great location that is easily walkable to Waikiki. The pictures are accurate and we had a very enjoyable stay. Despite spending most of our visit outside of the condo, it was a welcoming reprieve when we got back each night! We highly recommend this VRBO and we hope to come back and stay here again soon!

Clean, easy check-in

The room was clean and the check-in was easy. There is an exceptional view of Diamond Head from the balcony. The front desk advised us where to park the mopeds we rented and we received parking tickets for following those instructions... The only other thing that was less than perfect is the bed mattress should be replaced...

Another great stay

This was our third stay at this property and our favorite so far. The unit was very well-equipped with everything we could need! We thoroughly enjoyed starting our day on the lanai with coffee overlooking the park listening to the birds and watching the sun come up over Diamondhead. The bed was very comfortable and we really appreciated having a couch and table and chairs to expand our living space. The snacks and drinks were very welcome, too! We will be back!

Good value and location

My husband and I stayed for 8 nights. We liked being out of Waikiki but still within a 15 minute walk. This rental is a good value. We had our own lanai overlooking a park with a fountain and a great view of Diamond Head. The grounds behind the hotel are right on the ocean and we sat and watched the sunset there a couple of nights. We appreciated being able to use the beach chairs and snorkeling equipment that was provided. Communication was fast and easy. There is also free street parking starting about a block away which was very convenient when we had our rental car for part of the trip. Hope to stay here again.

Perfect for two

This is a cozy little apartment. Location is great at the far end of Waikiki away from the hustle and bustle. It is at the parkside of the building and there is a small patio/lanai overlooking Dillingham fountain. The common area on the oceanside is very nice but limited in prime seating if the building is full. Building is older and not fancy but adequate. Kitchen is a mini-fridge and microwave/toaster oven. Overall perfect if you are not a prima donna.

Beautiful stay

We loved this sweet condo. We had everything we needed and more. The host was super responsive and made our stay amazing. The ocean breeze was great and the view of Dimond Head was stunning! The Waikiki beach was about a 10 min walk and just far enough away for peace but close enough to play. Although there are a lot of homeless in Waikiki, this condo is away from that problem. The park is beautiful and we felt super safe and at home. No homeless people at the park. Parking wasn’t an issue. There was plenty of free parking at the park. Overall it was an amazing place! We are thankful!

We love this area. It's not far to walk to Waikiki Beach and all its offerings, yet it is quieter and the park is so pleasant. Mind you, getting in the water here can be challenging. It's best to walk a block to a beach. We wish there was designated parking. We stayed 8 nights and only had trouble parking in the park on Wednesdays when there were kids' soccer games. The unit is nicely appointed. The only thing lacking is a kitchen, but we were gone much during the day for eating out and the microwave and toaster oven warmed our leftovers. The refrigerator is a bit small, much like a regular hotel minifridge. There is a fantastic beach cafe a short walk with very reasonable prices. This corner unit afforded lanai seating for 2 overlooking Kapiolani Park and a view of the fountain and Diamond Head. Sunsets were fantastic while lounging in the waterfront yard. Although the management company never gave us a phone number to call, we could text and email with good response. For instance, the coffeemaker stopped working and Keith was prompt to bring a brand new one. The unit has plenty of glasses and plates. There are even pots for using the hot pad (which we didn't). Maintaining a drawer of previously left items is clever. We made good use of the sunscreen, sandwich bags, and other items. There were three sets of towels and two dish towels. We used the beach chairs and boogie boards. Overall, it was a pleasant experience that we would consider again.

The unit is in the best part of Waikiki - terrific location for beautiful walks (Kapiolani park, Diamond head) and easy access to the bustling parts of Waikiki if that's your thing, Kapahulu restaurants and Kaimuki food. The unit was incredibly well stocked for a studio and was very comfortable. And the Marella folks' communication was top notch. Would definitely stay again.
