Summary:
Take a stroll along Waikiki beach and enjoy the warmth on your skin and the beach sand between your toes. This cute and upgraded 17th-floor ocean view studio is in the Ilikai Marina, an ocean front building located in the quieter side of Waikiki. The property is walking distance to a lot of shopping, places to eat and an easy ride away from nature, such as hiking, snorkeling and surfing. Enjoy both tropical and urban style living from this thoughtfully appointed and beautiful property!
The Space:
WHAT OUR GUESTS LOVE ABOUT THE SPACE
✔ Location, location, location! This property is located in a very desirable part of Waikiki, which is located on the outskirts and is known as the quieter side of Waikiki. I personally prefer this part of Waikiki and lived here when I first came to Hawaii.
✔ It's a 5min walk to the famous Waikiki Beach. And the Hilton Lagoon
✔ 10-15 min walk to Ala Moana Center, the largest outdoor mall in the world. This building is also sandwiched between two hotels which are 2-3x the cost to stay.

THINGS TO NOTE (QUIRKS)
✔ Juliet-style Lanai (Two people can stand and get some fresh air but it's not large enough to sit and lounge)
✔ The Ilikai Marina is more of a residential style building and was built around the 1970s. This particular unit is relatively upgraded and the building is well-maintained but as most buildings in Waikiki, it does not feel new. Personally, coming from Chicago, I noticed buildings in Waikiki felt older as well but I was enamored by the weather, the beach and surroundings.
✔ The building does routine AC maintenance, plumbing (water shut down) and pest control and you'll see notices in the elevator, we will try to remind you too.
✔ There's no dishwasher in this unit (kind of common in Hawaii, weird for a Chicagoan).
✔ Plumbing seems sensitive in the building. We do our best to check but I find that the drains are tricky.
✔ Noise: This unit is on the 17th floor so it's quite high from the street but it is facing Ala Moana Blvd which has traffic and alot of cars. So you may not hear noise but you may, if you're sensitive.
