The place was a bit outdated and is in need of a few updates/repairs. The shower pressure is non-existant, and water took a very long time to get warm. The pool and outdoor restaurant was a hit with my family. Great service, lovely tropical oasis setting, an very afforable food and drinks.

Great stay, will be staying there again
Easy to everything
The property location was great, no issues with the room. Towels, beach chairs, umbrella provided, was awesome!! The only issue was that the bathroom was small, outdated fixtures and uncomfortable and lacked air ventilation.
The location of the property is great - close to the beach, shopping, variety of food choices. A bit tight place for a family of 4 but it was enough for us since we didn't stay a lot of time indoors and spent just 2 nights in the unit
It was mixed with the host. We had trouble with the WiFi and he never responded. There is a kitchen with a one burner stove, pots, pans, dishes, silverware, blender and toaster. But no cutting board or spatula to cook with. The relationship with the hotel is odd - they won't hold a bag for you. We had late checkout and our keys were turned off at 11:00. Front desk reprogrammed them but they were kind off put off by it. The location is great and the room is clean.
Beds were comfortable. Very short walk to the beach. Close to anything you need on the strip.

Great Location.
We really liked the location as it was close to Waikiki beach & the place where we met for the tours. We didn't have any hot water the first 3 day & couldhave used a few more towels. The pool area was very nice.

Aloha Shona W. -- We're happy to hear you enjoyed your stay :-) Mahalo for booking with us!
The room is like my first studio apartment, except with two queen sized beds. It can fit 4 people but I wouldn't recommend it. Everything was within walking distance: beach, restaurants, shops, etc. No beach view but it's only 2 minutes away. The host was very communicative and answered all my questions in a timely manner.

The room smelt horrible and like mold and mildew. When we opened the cupboard they were all lined with mold. We cleaned them and messaged the host. He was very unresponsive. We are allergic to mold so we asked to be relocated after 3 nights and no response to address our issues or support with a new location we left. They still charged us for 3 full nights. The property management team was very
This VRBO rental is in a great location. Only downside was that the advertisement said 2 queen size beds... when in reality there were full-sized beds. Keep in mind, parking will cost $25-30 a day.
The room was absolutely perfect for my family's visit. The location is within walking distance of plenty of things to do including the beach and restaurants.
The beds were very comfortable and the room was thoughtfully stocked with items such as beach chairs and towels. We were able to find free street parking by the Ala Wai canal each day we were there.
The host was great about responding to any messages we sent in a very courteous and prompt manner.

The condo was nice but kind of dated. Would definitely stay again tho. I do wish parking was available on the property, we had to park an average of 5 blocks away and pay $25 per day.
