1 BR Apt In Waikiki with Canal & Mountain View
Will rebook Timmy's place again when we go back to Hawaii next year. There's a lot of restaurants that are walking distance. Waikiki beach is about 10-15 mins walk. Its paid to park in the garage but theres free parking spots near the canal (if you get lucky, it gets filled up pretty fast.) There's also plenty of equipments you can use when you go to the beach so you don't need to buy/rent when you get there. The living room area has a stunning view outside and the balcony is a nice place to wind down after a hectic day. We didn't go to the 6th floor but it has the pool, gym, and convenience store. Highly recommended!

Seabreeze Studio (Legal Rental)
Great condo, great location. I really enjoyed my stay and even extended another day. Will look to book again my next visit.

Oceanfront Oasis: Renovated Coastal Retreat
We stayed here with our two kiddos and it was a great space. The sofa couch worked out great for our 3 and 6 year old. We had plenty of towels for bathing and the beach. The beach toys and chairs were great to have. Kitchen was great and well stocked. We ate dinner at home most nights. Kyle offered great recommendations for when we rented a car, but we were able to walk to a lot of places too. Thank you Kyle for being flexible with our check-in and check-out times! Really helped make our trip go smoothly with our kiddos. We also loved watching the fireworks from the balcony on our last night!

Waikiki Luxury Oceanfront 2BR/2BTH w/ Parking~
This place was absolutely the best! Great location, right by the Waikiki beach, you just cross the street. The apartment is gorgeous! Very nice decoration, top-of-the-line everything, from the bed, toilet, coffee machine etc. He provides everything you may need for the beach! And I have to say, there are remodeling but is not bothersome they have some noice from 9 am till 4 pm Monday to Friday. But you probably would not be there. For us was totally fine.

My daughter and I stayed at Jenny’s Cottage Airbnb, and it was absolutely wonderful! We visited Hawaii two years ago and stayed in a one-bedroom apartment, not realizing we had booked a one-bedroom again in the same building! It ended up being the perfect amount of space for the two of us. The place had everything we needed, and the location was perfect. It’s true what they say – it’s only a 5-minute walk to the gym, and everything else is walkable too! Jenny provided us with a spot in the garage and was very responsive whenever we needed anything. The place was clean, and it truly made us feel at home, like we were living the island life. It was my daughter and I’s favorite thing to wake up before sunrise and drink coffee out on the front porch. Be prepared for a beautiful view during both sunsets and sunrises! We did rent a car, and while there is a small fee for parking, we were blessed to have the parking garage! Our entire stay was stress-free, and we can’t wait to book with her.

Coastal Chic Condo with Ocean View & Full Kitchen
Our stay in Honolulu was absolutely amazing! The location was perfect to stay away from the craziness of the strip but still close enough to beaches, great restaurants, and all the must-see spots. It’s also walking distance from Ala Moana shopping centre which is a massive plus! The parking was also super convenient as we could park on the same level as the apartment. The host’s thoughtfulness truly made our trip extra special. I mentioned we were celebrating a birthday, and they surprised us with big “Happy Birthday” balloons and a hamper full of snacks, slippers, and local recommendations. It was such a sweet and unexpected touch! The space was spotless, well-equipped, and super comfortable. Both the main bed and the sofa bed were really cozy, making for a great night’s sleep. The host was also so helpful and quick to respond, making our stay even better. We had an unforgettable time and would 100% stay here again!

Modern Marina Retreat - Fully Licensed
The place was incredible! Second time staying here & would highly recommend. It’s near shops & the beach! Can’t beat it!

Ocean views at Ilikai Marina - Parking included!
We had a great stay! The host was very communicative and responsive, which made check-in and any questions during our stay easy to handle. The location is super convenient—close to everything—and having parking and pool access included was a big bonus. It’s spotless clean throughout the apartment. The king bed was very comfortable, and the bidet toilet was a nice luxury touch. A couple of things to keep in mind: the shower water pressure is on the lower side, and there were some stains at the bottom of the tub that could use more attention. Also, it gets noisy on Friday and Saturday nights due to the bars on the street, but the other nights were peaceful. Overall, a good stay with thoughtful amenities and a very helpful host. Would recommend with a few minor caveats.

Ko Olina Beach Villas Beachfront (Beach Tower709)
Beautiful place with amazing views! Was a low key area, so very quiet in the evenings and mornings. Never felt crowded. The pool area is pretty small so chairs can be a little hard to come by. Place had all the beach items we needed including chairs (none on the beach unless pay through a vendor, also no personal umbrellas allowed), beach toys, cooler, and wagon. Washer and dryer was great to have in room. Kitchen had all the necessities we needed to cook meals in room and on the grill. Family had an amazing week, thank you!

The Ultimate Oceanfront Getaway | Luxe Comfort
An outstanding condo, homely clean and every thing you would want on vacation , host was great and accommodating all our requirements Thank you

Beachfront direct ocean views, 21st FL at Ilikai
Loved the apartment. Everything you need , if you want to cook, very good kitchen, good private balcony. Very comfortable beds, and the lounge area, is fine ,just a good size for 2 people. The bathroom is a little dated , with shower screens needing cleaning, and the toilet seat is a bit wobbly, but these things did not spoil anything. I would like some lace curtains or blinds , as I don’t like closing out the great view, but getting changed I felt I needed to close up each time. The location is great, close to all the shops and bars and restaurants, lovely walk to either Diamond Head area or Magic Island, to watch the fireworks on a Friday night. We Would definitely recommend this apartment.

On The Gold Coast of Waikiki
We had a great stay at Terri’s condo! Traveling with a toddler and infant, we loved having the comfort and flexibility of a home base. The location is quiet and peaceful—right across from Kapi‘olani Park, a short walk to Kaimana Beach, and close to the Waikīkī Aquarium and Zoo. The condo was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with basics like a rice cooker, coffee machine, blender, and kitchenware—perfect for cooking breakfast. The bathroom shower was spacious and relaxing. While not totally childproof (some decorative items and low cabinets), we adjusted things easily for our toddler. The dedicated parking spot was super convenient. Just a heads up—the garage entrance clearance is 6 feet, so larger vehicles may not fit. Highly recommend for a relaxing stay in Waikīkī!

Ocean Front Spectacular Condo
The building (interior and exterior) are a little dated, and could use a refresh. BUT the location is amazing and the view is stunning. We arrived on a there was an annual parade - we had no idea, but there was so much traffic and road closures making it a little hectic getting to the building - but I managed to run out to speak with one of the attendants, and he came and helped us through the traffic to park. From then on, it everything was a breeze. Check in was easy, car valet, they brought up all of our luggage. We got to see the fireworks that evening that was part of the parade celebration from our balcony. The private walkway to the beach was amazing from the hotel and we felt comfortable letting our kids go back and forth on their own. Eating breakfast on the balcony with the amazing views was one of our favourite things. The location is amazing to be able to just walk to the beach in a minute or two, and anything you need is walkable.

Gorgeous Ocean & Park Views at Waikiki Shore #605
Great location, right above the Waikiki Beach. I worked from Hawaii for a week, and woke up at 5AM in the morning to attend the PDT time meetings. It was a great experience

Mountain/canal view near beach w/FREE parking!
Great location! CJ was also super responsive which made things really easy. Pretty noisy at night, but CJ provides ear plugs if needed. We would stay again!

Oceanfront Oasis in Waikiki-Ilikai Hotel
Overall, our stay was great! The location was perfect since we decided not to rent a car. It was about a 20-30 minute walk or a $5-8 Lyft ride to the end of the Waikiki strip, and a 20-minute walk (or $7 Lyft) to Ala Moana—both very easy. The lobby level had a small market, a poke spot, an ice cream shop, and a coffee shop, which was super convenient. The condo itself was clean, and the harbor views at sunset were beautiful! The closet door didn’t slide open, and the balcony door stuck a bit—likely due to the humidity—but nothing that impacted our stay. The AC worked well, with one unit easily cooling the bedroom and another for the main room, though we only needed the one near the bed. Overall, a comfortable and convenient place to stay, and I would definitely come back again!
