Love this place. Location. Views. Cleanliness. And I think the thing that makes any stay at any place great - communication with the owner Mike. Thank you for letting us stay here and for being gracious with your place. A & A

Mike’s home is a great place to stay in Waikiki, super close to the beach, great restaurants and shopping! Mike was also very accommodating when we needed to stay an extra night.

Mike, the owner, responds quickly and he is very helpful.
Pros:
1) Location is everything. Condo is conveniently located to beach, shopping, dining, and entertainment etc.
2) Kitchen is well equipped and thoughtfully laid. It had everything I needed for my stay.
3) I took the public bus, which was easy; the bus stop is less than one block from the condo.
4) Most excursions will pick you up from Waikiki Banyan, which is convenient for sight seeing
5) The kitchen is updated, and cleaning supplies are left so you don't have to buy that.
Cons:
Upon my arrival, the lock box holding the key fell off right after I accessed it. Not a safe feeling knowing access is not secured.
Upon entering the unit, the sliding patio door was left wide open. The patio door does not close. The latch is too short to reach the lock and the latch is flimsy. This condo is on the 36th floor, had it been on a lower floor, I would have an issue with safety.
The condo is clean and smelled fresh, but the rug is old, worn and stained. It needs to be replaced.
The bathroom sink has very little water pressure. I could not wash my hands or wash the make off my face properly. The Shower has good water pressure (Yeah)
The washer/dryer are not in the unit; it is located a short distance from the condo and is coin or app operated. There is one washer and one dryer on each floor.
The pool area is nice but again needs updating. This is good Condo, but it is not a luxury condo as advertised in the description.

Great location, we loved the neighborhood. Having the parking included was amazing. We’ve stayed in Honolulu and have always payed $20 to $30 a day for parking. Easy access to everything from restaurants to grocery stores.
Mike was amazing. He was extremely responsive and answered all of our questions. Thanks so much!! We’ll be back!

The property is located very close to the beach but not so close you have to deal with all the headaches of traffic.
Beautiful views of mountain side and diamond head.
Host was very responsive and had provided detailed instructions to make sure everything was comfortable and smooth.

We really enjoyed our stay at the condo. The location was perfect. It was clean, cozy and had all the amenities you could need. We loved having all the beach gear. The view from the lanai was beautiful. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

This little apartment was fantastic. The view was lovely - I ended up working from the patio quite a bit. The bed was super comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and extra blankets. My partner got a cold so I actually ended up sleeping on the pull-out sofa for a couple of nights, and with the mattress topper that was comfortable too! Due to said cold, we spent most of our time in the apartment =( but at least it was a great apartment to be in. The property manager was super communicative and all the instructions at the beginning made everything crystal clear. Having a free parking spot is such a bonus in Honolulu. There were many restaurants within walking distance, so we never had to drive out for dinner. Really the only thing that wasn't in walking distance was a good grocery store. The air conditioner works great - it creates condensation water rather quickly which the pigeons and other birds love. Honolulu pigeons are much cuter than LA pigeons. Overall if I come back to Honolulu I will look to stay at this place first. I spent the first half of my trip at one of those massive village resort monstrosities for a conference which was awful. This apartment was such a nice reprieve from the chaos of that.

Communication with Mike was great before and during our stay. Wonderful view. Condo had everything we needed and bunch of other amenities we didn't end up using. Comfy beds and a good sized bathroom. Great location within walking distance of the beach, restaurants and shopping. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.
