Unforgettable stay in Oahu

Our stay in Oahu through VRBO was nothing short of spectacular. The condo was exactly as described, if not better, with nice ocean views, many amenities, and a welcoming, island-inspired decor that made us feel right at home. The location was perfect—close to the zoo, Waikiki beach, Diamond Head, delicious local eateries and elegant restaurants, including a steak house. The host was exceptional, providing clear and detailed instructions for check-in and check-out, and was always available to answer any questions we had. They even left a welcome box of Hawaiian chocolate covered macadamias nuts, which was a delightful touch. The property was well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen to make full meals, beach gear, and more than enough towels. We specially liked the beds. They were extremely comfortable. Overall, this VRBO rental exceeded our expectations and made our Oahu vacation truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a perfect Hawaiian getaway. Five stars all the way!

Perfect location, everything we needed and more!

The location and view are absolutely amazing! We loved the space and the sliding doors for added privacy between the bedroom and fold out couch. The space was clean and had many useful supplies provided. The nightlights were a wonderful surprise and appreciated by young children. Thank you Dolly for your thoughtfulness and well organized instructions. We loved our stay and 100% would stay here again with our family of four. Mahalo!

Beautiful ocean view, great location, free parking!

Dolly is a great host! She made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. We loved the location and never had any issues finding parking; we usually parked on the 3rd floor near Tower 2 elevator. We loved the beautiful ocean view and all the amenities like the pool, cafe (they sell Dole Whip!), and mini mart. The laundry room and trash were all close to our unit, which was super convenient. The beds were comfy and clean, and the dining chairs being regular lower ones (not those tall bar stools) was an added bonus for my little one. I will definitely try to rebook this place for our next Oahu trip!

A great stay in Waikiki

Stayed at Dolly's place for a week with my sister and niece and it was perfect. It had a great view, all of the amenities (and then some) that we needed for a comfortable stay, a short distance to the beach, restaurants and shops in the area. The parking pass was definitely useful to have as we had rented a car during our stay. There was always a parking spot available in the garage. Dolly was a great host, she was very responsive before our stay and the instructions she left were clear. All in all, I would recommend to stay here and would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Oahu!

Great location

Dolly was a fantastic host. The condo was located relatively close to everything in Waikiki. The condo was spacious and clean. There were a few issues, but the host fixed the issues immediately. The only downfall is the building itself. It is a rather older building and a few times two elevators broke down leaving just two elevators for 36 floors. Overall a nice place for a good price.

Condo was as the pictures were shown. The view of the ocean never got boring.

We had a great stay in the condo and very much enjoyed the beach chairs and toys. The short walk to Waikiki Beach made it easy to carry the beach gear. I would and will recommend this condo to friends.

Dolly is a great host to communicate. The unit has nice view of ocean and Diamond Head in convenient location to many points of interests. Parking is free but finding space may be difficult at the lower floors but always available at the high floors. A fire drill was annoying in mid-night. I would return to this unit for future visits/

Location! You can walk everywhere within Waikiki and across the AlaWai. The bus stop is easy to access too! Took my family back to where I once lived and found this condo. It had everything we needed as to being in a home. The views were amazing. Slept 4 adults comfortably to include the pull out bed. The internet was super handy to be able to work in paradise and the parking spot was an added bonus. I can cook here too! This is the condo you need to feel at home. Beach umbrella, chairs and boogie boards AND MORE! We will be rebooking!
