My family and I stayed in unit 1294 for 9 days on a recent trip to O'ahu. The condo was perfect for us! My husband was attending a conference at the Hilton Hawaiian Village just two hotels down from us- less than a 10 minute walk. From the Ilikai Marina I could walk with our 14 month old to the beach, to the lagoon, to the Ala Moana Mall (where there's also a full grocery store), or take a longer walk down into the "heart" of Waikiki. It was also a convenient starting point for driving to other parts of the island, like the North Shore and to Hanauma Bay.

The condo itself had everything we needed and we loved having a full kitchen. The view from the condo is fantastic and on our last morning we were treated to a gorgeous full rainbow just outside. The bed was comfy, the air conditioning worked great, it was easy to park and easy to make all the arrangements with Chuck, the property manager. We rented baby equipment like a high chair and pack-n-play from a local company called www.babytravelmadeeasy.com. They provided a great service.

The only drawback to the condo is there is no dishwasher. Since we did a lot of cooking ourselves, this was one convenience that would have been nice to have. Also one of the standing lamps in the living room had a burnt out bulb and the toilet tank seemed to have a leak so the water would run more than it needed to. We used the washer and dryer in the building twice during our stay and that was really nice to have nearby.

We would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay with a very nice view of the ocean.

The condo was picked up and sort of clean. There were food scraps in the kitchen sink, the refrigerator was not wiped down, the kitchen had been swept, but the dustpan was not used to complete the task, the windows toward the extraordinary view were not clean, the glass top tables and furniture were dusty, there were visible dust clusters under the bed, and there was an empty candy wrapper on the bed.
I called the owner within minutes to let him know the condition. I also called the individual in charge of cleaning. She did come a few hours later, and cleaned the sink and floor.
I paid a $120.00 cleaning fee, and asked that the fee be reduced or waived. The owner did not call back either that evening or during the following 3 days. More...

THIS WAS THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES. WE WERE CELEBRATING OUR 10TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AND COULDN'T HAVE PICKED A BETTER ISLAND OR CONDO TO STAY AT. IT WAS CLEAN EVERYTHING WAS ON HAND THAT WAS NEEDED. SCENERY WAS SO BEAUTIFUL WE COULDN'T STOP LOOKING AT IT. WAIKIKI BEACH WAS IN WALKING DISTANCE AND CAN BE SEEN FROM THE CONDO. YOU WERE SO ACCOMODATING TO US AND IT WAS APPRECIATED. WE WERE THINKING WE WOULD LIKE TO STAY THERE AGAIN SOMETIME. WE ARE PLANNING ANOTHER TRIP NEXT YEAR WE MAY GO TO MAUI BUT IF WE COME TO OAHU WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT YOU. (There was one thing that I was thinking would be nice. If you were able to put up a long mirror on the back of a door so we could get a good view of ourselves, maybe that is vain but I would have liked to see myself in full view) THANK YOU FOR THE MOST WONDERFUL VACATION OF OUR LIVES.

When my family and I arrived at the Ilikai Marina, we were surprised at how
close it was to so many sites. We were within walking distance of Waikiki
Beach, Ala Moana Mall and Park. We had a great view of the marina and a
beautiful sunset every night. The room had enough room for the four of us
and amenities like a kitchenette stocked with dishes and appliances, a bathtub
with a jacuzzi, two TV's with cable, and a sofa bed for the kids. It was a great
central location to all the places we wanted to see. We had a blast. The only
thing I could not figure out was how to turn on the showerhead, but the
jacuzzi made up for that. After a long day of sightseeing, the warm jets of
water soothed my sore muscles and helped me relax on my vacation. More...
