Lux Ocean Front Penthouse! Stunning Views, Free WiFi, Wsh/Dry, wlk to Ala Moana

From the time we got in to the time we left we were comfortable. Condo was clean and welcoming. Nicely decorated as pictures show from advertising. Only minor thing is we thought the lanai was larger. Still nice to be able to go outside to look around. Thank you for our stay

We enjoyed our holiday at Janna McDowell’s #1886 Illikai Marina Condo and would recommend to other travellers because: Good communication with Janna. All ammenities are provided, including washer/dryer, well equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed, nice living area with outstanding views across the marina. Very quiet allowing a good nights sleep after busy days. The condo for us is very central and easy to walk or catch a bus to the many attractions and shops that are on offer. Several quality restaurants are close also. Our favourite was “The Outback”which also caters for Aussie’s. We will be back!!! 👍😊

When first walking into the lobby (there isn't one) and down the hall to the apartment it can be a little disappointing (dated). But once you walk into the penthouse none of that matters. Beautiful views, clean, roomy and a great location to walk to everything. Beach, restaurants shopping all very close by. I will definitely stay here again!!!

I would rate the view from the condo as an (A+) and the amenities as a (B).The reason is that the furniture (especially the bed and the couch) are in need of major upgrading. The plumbing is in need of repair, since the water pressure is non-existent and the sinks do not drain.

Overall, I would still recommend the property because of it’s location and it’s view.

When we opened the door the first thing to catch my eye was the beautiful view of the ocean outside the sliding glass door. It was exactly the same as the photo on Janna’s page. The apt was clean and exactly as described on her descriptions. Loved the contemporary Hawaiian decor with the pops of lime here and there. The Ferraro Roche on the pillow was a sweet touch of Aloha.

There were only 2 of us so we found it to be quite spacious.

The bed and pillows were comfortable, and I’m picky about my pillows. We used the fridge to keep our water bottles and drinks cold. My husband used the French press for his coffee. We also used the sunscreen in the closet as we forgot ours. We left the bottle in the closet.

Lots of restaurants in the Waikiki Beach area and Ala Moana Center were within a 20 min. walking distance.

I had read some comments about parking issues, but we followed Janna’s instructions and had no problems. We always found parking on either the 2nd or 3rd level not far from the elevator.

The only picky complaint I have is to add another towel rack since 1 small rack is not enough for 2 full size towels to dry. Oh, my husband will add watch the YouTube on how to use the a/c system as it was a little bit different to what we were used to at home.

We highly recommend this place and would stay here again.
