Sensational Seaside Condo, remodeled in 2023 parking available, 1 block to beach

All of the basics were provided and just about like a home away from home. Grills are available for getting those steaks done just right. Parking at the property is about average for Waikiki ($45 per day) and beats looking for an open meter and feeding it all day. Best bet is to rent a car when you need to travel out of Waikiki. A small studio apartment is a bit crowded for 4 people, unless its 2 adults and 2 kids. No oven, but it is vacation and you should be enjoying the local cuisine. There is a laundromat on site, as well as a convenience store. The elevators are busy during the day, but let up after 8 PM. A great option for Hawaii, would definitely stay again.

Despite the weather, we were able to have a fun getaway. When an unexpected problem (that was nobody’s fault) occurred, Russ handled it quickly and courteously, and we were able to enjoy ourselves in a neighborhood and building that offer a bit of everything.

We enjoyed our trip the room was clean and in an excellent location close to everything. Short walk to beach. Second time we stayed at this location because of value and location. Next time we go to Waikiki we will stay here again if available

The host was great always answering our questions. The space looks smaller comparing with the pictures but it had everything iron, plates, cups silverware. Everything! That you could need for a vacation. They also have a small store inside the building. My husband me and my two kids had a great stay.

Yes, Russ and his local person were quite responsive

Host was excellent and responsive. Pool, store, restaurant and facilities were great!

Great host, clean condo, close to everything! Will be staying again!

We had a great stay. We stayed for a week and everything went smooth. Great host. Good size condo for what we needed. The building hallway was a little worn and had a funny smell, but the room was good. We did feel more comfortable wearing shower shoes. Location was really good. The hot tub was clean and the perfect temperature. We would stay here again.

Great location, great value.

The location of the condo was spectacular; there was much to do, such as entertainment, food, and the beaches.

Pro: the local was awesome, check in process was easy, parking in the same buildingCon: old slurpy cup in the freezer full of someone’s slushy The about this property needs to be updated. It listed oven (no oven), keurig coffee machine (a small 4 cup coffee maker), rice cooker (none), steamer (no steamer, but had an iron, but no iron board), flat iron (none), boogie boards (none), umbrella (none), hats & googles (none).I picked this for some of these items and was very disappointed they were not there.I admit I did not contact the owner about it, he may have fixed it. We just made due with what we had.All in all we did enjoy our stay.

Sweet spot with balcony space and beautiful view of the City's open space along its canal and walking paths. Great light and a quieter location in the building being on the end of hall.

Great location, great host, would recommend

Nice view of Ala Wai Canal. This VRBO is more than a block to the beach. It is a 10 minute walk to Kalakaua or Queens Beach. Clean, shampoo conditioner and body wash were used and down to last bit, but were replenished when requested. Good place price if you don’t mind walking.

Great area

Pros: great location. Great price. Very clean upon anreival. Amenities such as pool and hot tub were nice. Great communication with owner. Condo supplied with a lot of necessities so we didn’t have to bring so much stuff.Cons: we did come across a couple roaches in the 2 weeks we were there. It definitely wasn’t an infestation or anything, but they were there. Also, the room itself was pretty noisy. Every time a neighboring unit open and closed their slider door it sounded like thunder rocking the unit. And there was quite a lot of traffic noise, but it is a city so you have to expect that.

Apt had nice view and balcony

We had a week’s stay here with one of us having a conference ant the Hawaii Convention Centre (an easy walk along the canal) and the other having a holiday. The condo was perfect - had all we needed to self-cater some meals or wander a short distance to great eating locations. Excellent communication with property manager and local person throughout. Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at this unit. It was located a couple of blocks from the beach and top tier stores where the action was happening. The unit was close to restaurants, parks, and interesting shops. After a full day of activities, it was a pleasure to sit on the porch with a drink and some snacks. The owner of the unit was quick to respond to any questions we had and made everything easy. Check-in and check-out procedures were seamless.

The building is dated but it was comfortable, clean and had extras that we needed while in Hawaii. We would stay here again. Its very walkable to the beach and International Market Place where we enjoyed meals, shopping, live entertainment, and sight seeing. Parking was convenient yet a little pricey but I believe its just that way in Hawaii no matter where you go. Be advised that parking area is tight and you will want a small vehicle if you stay here.

Location and pool/BBQ area great. The only closet is full of materials used for the renovation! The description says oven, but there is none. We bought a blender and toaster oven to use during our stay and left them. I would put shelves where the lamp is. The tub drained slow, so we also bought Draino. The beach umbrella is rusted and beyond use. I would suggest buying a new one. We left pool noodles too. We had fun, but we spent to have a decent place to stay and spent more to make it comfortable. Its and old building, but it worked ok.

It’s a great unit for dropping your stuff and heading out the door. Kitchenette was valuable for cooking breakfast and it had what we needed. There was more street noise than we expected along with water running in the next unit. The pool was good sized , nice amenities there. The elevator can be challenging to capture at times. However for the price you get a great location, short walk to everything. The view from the unit balcony is wonderful, great spot for our morning coffee.the wall for the next unit shower.Th

Russ and his guy Julio was great. I even enjoyed the friendly Chiefs - Broncos banter with Russ. The location was his advertised and we enjoyed our stay there. There television remote were a little more complicated to operate and one thing I suggested to Russ that he put down some kind of safety map in the shower as it's a little slippery. I would definitely recommend Russ and his condo for people to stay there.

This was a great studio apartment. It was cozy, but more than adequate for two of us. The photos and descriptions are pretty accurate. There is a nice side view of the canal and views of the mountains between buildings. The lanai is good-sized and has a dining table. It was quiet when we were there. You do get some street noise from below, but nothing too obnoxious or sustained. Communication with owner Russ was great from booking to check-in to check-out. He was very responsive to questions. Room is nicely furnished, had everything we needed, and everything was functional and clean. Parking is an extra fee and is handled by a self-serve ticket machine in the lobby. The garage is conveniently located in the building and there were always plenty of spots available (and in/out privileges for easy outings). Building location is great. It’s just a couple of blocks from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, but far enough away to escape the big crowds. Great restaurants, shops, attractions and beach access within easy walking distance. Overall, it was a very nice stay. We would recommend it to others and would stay there again.

Nice clean unit in a good building

The pictures make it appear much bigger than it actually is

This condo is beautifully renovated with a great lanai that looks onto Ala Wai canal. The location is outstanding, only two blocks from Waikiki Beach, restaurants and wonderful walks along the sea. The building has a great pool and hot tub. The Host was informative and kind. Exceptional!

The location of this property is amazing. Close to the beach and the main strip of Waikiki area restaurants and shopping.

My husband and I had the good fortune to stay for two and a half weeks in Russ's compact, efficient condo. I already miss our time there. Everything is within a short walk - the beaches, groceries, stores and restaurants. The check-in desk is staffed with very pleasant and helpful folks. The building has everything you need - a well stocked convenience store on the 6th floor, open until 10 pm., a 24 hour laundromat, wide patios with picnic tables set around gas barbecues, a large pool, fitness room, jetted hot-tub and sauna. The owner is extremely friendly and accommodating. Don't hesitate. This place is a little piece of heaven in paradise.
