Ocean-Marina Views at Ilikai Marina w/Full Kitchen Short Walk to the Beach

Beautiful property with amazing views!

When we got here, things were fine except they were very few glasses cups and utensils and kitchen towels. They did get those items to us, but the worst part was they explained that they would be minor maintenance and they didn’t explain that they were going to close off the lanai for our last whole week. Be careful and verify if the lanai will be closed off, we did not enjoy that part of our stay the seating arrangement chairs need to be updated. One or two of them are broken. The main chair in the living area has no cushion support. You can’t even use it. Overall, we loved the view and the fireworks. It was just sad that we weren’t able to use the on the lanai.

The host was excellent. Great communications, and everything was as described. I gave it four stars because of the hallways leading to the condo. There is a noticeable musty smell. This has nothing to do with the condo, but it is a poor first impression of the building. The location is good, easy walking to the beaches, restaurants and shops. The condo is old, but nicely refurbished. Not fancy, but comfortable. The view of the harbor and ocean is great. Really nice to wake up to. Another plus was having a car rental company right in the building. Island Rental had a Mustang convertible for 99/day. We’d definitely stay here again.

The last two days of our stay, the unit was uninhabitable due to very loud, persistent drilling noises from above. Very annoying. Please refund two days of rental expense.

Great location between Waikiki Beach and Ala Moana areas! Even though it was raining the majority of our visit - we were still able to enjoy the beautiful view of the harbor every day. We enjoyed our extended stay and really felt comfortable, safe and we look forward to going back again soon!

Great view. Loved having the beach chairs and beach towels! I would recommend.

Excellent

The unit was a little dated, but very clean. Harbor view was great. Kitchen was functional, but we had to buy a baking pan. No bathroom fan, windows are poor quality and lets in all the heat in the afternoon as sun sets on window side, so you have to crank AC, or close the view. Queen bed is OK, not real fluffy or bouncy, but not too firm. The big downfall is the sitting furniture. The couch is more a lounger, too low, and too far back with no armrests or pillows to adjust. The wicker chair is too deep, a very thin seat pad that doesn’t match the shape so tends to want to slide forward. We made it work by using the sleeping pillows for a seat pad and back supports. Lastly, there are no directions for using the TV. We struggled with using our Yoitube TV Acount every day. Two controls, but not sure how to use them or when. Kept pushing buttons with nothing happening.So we said the unit is OK because there should be bathroom fan, TV hard to control, and window heat. Also note only one plug in in the kitchen. Outside the units , elevator is very slow, but parking was 33/24 hours. A little hard to figure how to do it, but staff is very helpful. Just know that you first get an hourly ticket, then have to walk to a machine on the wall and purchase a 1-5 day “in and out” previledge ticket. When you first leave you scan the original tick, then the multi day tick and only the multiday ticket afterwards.

We loved the easy walk to Ala Moana Beach Park.

We enjoyed our stay more than we thought we would. It was quieter than we thought it would be, being so close to bustling Waikiki. This condo faces the ocean and harbor which we loved, but it also reduced the noise. We loved watching the sunsets, the boats coming and going, the fireworks, and being able to walk everywhere! The building is older, but i think it helped reduce the noise. I would definitely stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed 5 nights at this rental and it’s exactly as described in the description- great location, clean, well-stocked and easy to access. Views are great and it’s super convenient to Waikiki, Ala Moana Park/Beach and shops. If you have a car, parking is super easy for $1 an hour at the Marina/ beach or in the garage in the building. As a solo traveler I felt safe here.

Very clean little condo with an excellent view of Ilikai Marina and the ocean. Walking distance to beaches and shops, food and coffee. Wish we could have planned a longer trip. Highly recommend. Plan to pay for parking.
