Makai Suite - 2 bdrm, 1 bath on Hawaii's Gold Coast

It was very nice to have somewhere with parking at the Diamond Head side of Waikiki away from the busier areas. There's the park right across the street and it was a short trip to get to Diamond Head for hiking. Two bedrooms was a big deal traveling as a family and that's what sold us on the place. This is a condotel without usual concierge to help check in. Nice not to have to wait in line but it was a lot of figuring out to get in the first time. Felt quite safe with secure parking and entry.

Pros: good location, outside area to chill at, stocked kitchenCons: darker than anticipated, not as clean, bed frame is a hazard, AC loud and musty (without AC no airflow)

The BEST equipped kitchen ever. Full spice rack, any utensil needed to cook. The best equipped unit too - beach towels, beach chairs, blow dryer, etc. Very responsive host. Highly recommend!!

The apartment could use some updating but what an amazing place. The back is a small area of heaven. You do not have beach but a walkway that takes you a along the ocean. We loved it. It is close to everything but far away from the hustle and bustal. We would rent again.

This condo is the perfect place to crash while exploring Oahu. Thank you!

The location was good and the owners were easy enough to work with. They responded quickly when we needed the parking space number (had requested parking at booking but did not get that information in the check-in process provided). The unit overall needs some serious work. The major kitchen appliances are new, but the furniture is old, the place needs a serious cleaning, wallpaper is coming off the wall, the light over the dining table doesn’t work, and worst of all was the plumbing backups in the bathroom. The owners were quick to respond and offered a plumber but after talking with others on the floor we discovered this was a whole floor and potential building issue.

The toilet ran constantly and shut off then ran again. No internet or tv. We messaged someone about the tv and never got a response. Parking is terrible unless you pay for a spot, then it's in a basement area with barely room to turn around.

Nice location. No frills. Tired and slightly dirty. The pictures do not represent the real property. It really needs a remodel or deep clean. The property feels like it has been forgotten by the owners. Functional, but mattresses are worn, toilet runs, no fan in the bathroom. Did call the owners about parking and they did call us right back.

Loved the condo with views of Diamond from the front of the building and on the beach in back. Nice size condo for family of 4. Everyone enjoyed the space ( parents, 17,19 year old boys). Closed to everything, but quiet area. Quiet at the condo too. Beautiful sunset from the lawn area in the back. Owner was very responsive and easy to contact. Condo was very clean.

This place has potential but is sorely neglected. Lights dont work, dusty lampshades. The freezer door below the fridge does not close. There was a rug folded up in front of it ro catch the leaking water. The frezzer is all iced over. The coffee pot was filthy and is all a burnt through on the bottom. We contacted the host immediately but never heard back. We also contacted VRBO. No word from anyone!
