I enjoyed the property very much I felt safe in the area walking around and the location was so close to everything you would need. The staff at the location were friendly and helpful. Created an enjoyable experience for a single woman travelling on her own.

A great condo with good views
Condo is great, communication with owner was excellent. The selection of security personnel needs reviewing. We arrived after midnight and the security person was not at all welcoming. Other than that we strongly reccomend this condo

Great Stay!
My husband and I had a great 12 night holiday here. The unit was well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and is in a great location, within walking distance to everything. There was beach gear available for our use which was great. The balcony was a bonus - a nice place to sit and relax with a drink. The unit was cooler than other units we have stayed at in this hotel and the AC worked well to cool down the room on hotter days. Michiyo was a pleasure to deal with right from the start and was always very friendly and helpful during our correspondence. We look forward to returning here on our next visit!

Overall - very happy!
The location, and facilities at the rental were excellent. The listing is very accurate to the fact that most everything you need is very walkable, and the trolley service stop is about 500 yards up the road.The only issue (which is minor) in the scheme of things, was I had to contact the owner about the TV, as I could not get it to work properly. The next morning someone came by and (finally) got it working, so I felt a little better that I could figure it outBy no means did this take away from my overall stay.The other thing I will note here is something that was a little surprising, in that the bathroom door is not solid, but more a “louvre” type door. This did make things a little uncomfortable, during certain calls of nature I would definitely stay here again, so that’s about as good a recommendation as I can make

Exactly as described
We felt comfortable from the moment we stepped in the door. We were greeted by the Security personnel who facilitated our check-in process. Within 10 minutes we were on the elevator up to the 19th floor and then out on the balcony overlooking the Ala Wai Canal. While not an ocean view, the view was interesting and relaxing. The clouds over the mountains/hills were ever changing and predicted the weather for us. Watching the rowers on the canal and the ball players at the park were an added bonus. But enough of the view! The condo was comfortable and well equipped. Beach chairs, beach mats, yoga mats, snorkel/masks, flippers and a cooler were available for our use. The laundry facilities on the 4th floor were convenient; the condo even has laundry baskets for us to use! Mike, the owner, was communicative and helpful. It was a short walk two blocks and through the park to the beach. Great location! Will definitely stay there on our next trip to Oahu, which hopefully will be sooner than later. Mahalo!

Nice and cozy stay with many amenities (free laundry with multiple units, 2 saunas, gym, pool, game room, etc.)! Walkable city life close to beach. If plan on renting a car, try daily rates to avoid finding and paying high parking fees.

Highly Recommend
The Studio Condo was well equipped and provided us with everything we needed. The location was great. An easy walk to shops & restaurants. Also, great access to buses and trolleys. Mike was great to deal with. He provided all the info we needed for our stay and check in was seamless. Our first evening we heard lots of sirens and was concerned about the noise for sleeping. It wasn't a problem at all and we're both light sleepers. Although we didn't use the laundry, it was available to us free of charge, which is a big plus when travelling. Highly recommend the condo for a couple.

Nice Spot! Try It!
Nice place. Full bath, studio kitchen and seated balcony are all well appointed. Frosty mini-split keeps you cool for sleeping. Location is ideal to beach, shopping and boat harbor for fishing (walking distance to the boat I used). Add a bus pass and see the entire area easily with stops right near the building.

Everything you need - 10 stars
We are an easygoing couple, but this property was above and beyond what I expected! From the start the owner communicated efficiently and was very friendly. Reading all the reviews of other properties was overwhelming, and it's hard to filter the high maintenance or irrational folk from the truly snowed ones. I think it's important to know priorities! Ours were: cleanliness, a well-equipped kitchen, good internet for the occasional work check-in, and a quieter location at night. The place was very clean, with lots of towels, blankets, a desk area, a great little balcony with the view of the canal for morning coffee. The kitchen has a medium size fridge, good freezer, hot plate and lots of utensils. Bonus: left over seasonings, and shampoos and sunscreen in the bathroom. The internet is super fast, and the location is just a few minutes walk from the quieter beach across the park. Where we went swimming and spotted sea turtles while snorkeling just randomly. At night it is nice and quiet. And we much preferred it to being close to Waikiki beach (too crowded and touristy - not our style) Everyone from the owner, the concierge to the valets were just the nicest people on earth. But not "fake nice", like actually genuinely nice. Giving us lots of tips on where to park our motorcycles. This property does not include a parking stall, but the building has it for $50 a night. We rode all over the island on motorcycles, so parking wasn't an issue. 10 stars! Highly recommend!

Wonderful suite in a perfect location
The suite itself, friendly hosts, resort amenities and staff all once again contributed to a safe, clean, quiet and relaxing vacation. A comfortable bed, cooking facilities, lanai over looking the Ala Wai canal for your morning coffee or meals, and a host that’s easy to communicate with should you have any questions. The location is perfect - close to bus routes, restaurants, shopping and a relaxing stroll to the beach boardwalk. Will definitely book this suite when I return. Mahalo Mike and Maria

Exceptional Christmas & New Year!
The condo is small but clean and quiet with a very comfortable bed, kitchen facilities and good view of the canal from the lanai. A lovely place to have a glass of wine and applies after a busy day in the sun. Access to the pool, fitness centre, and free laundry facilities were great amenities. We appreciated all of these! We also found that the people who worked at the facility were not only friendly but extremely helpful and addressed any concerns immediately. This condo is in an excellent location. Close to the beautiful Fort De Russy Park and Beach. We found the beach chairs extremely useful. There is also a new Food Market close by with fresh morning coffee and treat as well as other essentials. Many restaurants are within walking distance. Buses, which go everywhere on island, were just a block away. The communication with the owners was friendly, easy and comprehensive. We understood that we had rented a one bedroom condo but it turned out to be a studio condo. Wires crossed from sight description. However, we adjusted and this studio condo served us well. We had a wonderful three weeks in Hawaii and would definitely recommend this condo. Mahalo!

Our second year to stay here
Condo is small but suited our needs very well. This is the 2nd time we have stayed here. It’s close enough to the beach for a nice walk but far enough away to be a bit more peaceful. Located in the Wyndham TimeShare resort gives you the strength of a well kept property with the ability to use the pool and laundry and there are always people there to greet you when you come in so it feels very safe. The host is excellent! When we had issues due to cancellation of the MAX planes and bad weather, he was more than willing to work with us if we needed to come in early. Can’t say enough about the hosts and how nice they are.

We've owned and vacation rented this condo since 2006 and we take pride in giving our guests the best experience as our reviews show! We specialize at offering a premium condo at half the price of comparable hotel room rates and with better amenities. Please see our other VRBO listing on the fabled N. Shore of Oahu at Turtle Bay vrbo.com/2371144

Why they chose this property

We're located on a quieter side street off the main drag in a medium sized boutique condotel, providing a more relaxed (and much less expensive) experience than the larger busy Waikiki hotels. Yet we're still in the middle of all the fun, restaurants, shops, nightlife and of course world famous Waikiki beach!

What makes this property unique

You don't even need a car here unless you want to go for more sightseeing! Finally, as you can see in our wonderful guest reviews, they love our place. They also appreciate our condo is on the cooler (sunset side) of the building so you don't get the direct morning or afternoon sun either!
