We enjoyed our 31 day stay at the Waikiki Sunset. The location is great: a bus stop within 1/2 a block and 2 blocks to the beach. It's at the Kapiolani Park end of the strip, which tends to be a bit quieter, which was fine with us.
The public parts of the building are due for new paint and flooring but the condo we rented on the 14th floor was very recently done over with granite countertops, new cupboards, flooring and paint. 2 double beds had good mattresses and bedding; new towels in bathroom and granite vanity.
Landlord had left nice additional touches like fresh shampoo, brand new pots and pans, beach mats and a few other items. We still found we needed a few more basics so purchased and left there kitchen towels (to dry the dishes), oven mitt and pot holders, clothespins, scissors, boogie board.
The only negative re the prooerty manager was that no one called to see if we needed anything, had arrived safely etc. And did not respond to an enquiry email I sent a few days before we left - I didn't know if we were expected to strip the beds, do any laundering of the sheets and towels etc. So in lieu of a response we erred on the safe side and washed everything. We've been home 4 days now and still haven't heard from Kaina Realty regarding my questions ( moot now) or how and when our cleaning deposit will be returned. Despite this, I must admit the lack of intrusion was nice and presume a phonecall rather than an email may have elicited a timely response.
The couch / sofabed had been recovered but the cushions kept sliding into the frame so it's soon time for some new furniture but it wasn't too bad. We noticed other units had the sa e furniture so it's likely a mass replacement will be done sometime in the future.
The unit is very quiet inside, except for the odd noise from the hall. We would stay there again. It's a bargain in a market that's rising.
Waiting until a few days before takeoff to book brought the price down from $138. Per day to $99 which was excellent value for a lengthy stay. Mahalo for a lovely little escape from reality.
