*Remodeled Oceanfront in Waikiki - Ilikai Marina
great place, gréât location, great host, highly recommend! 👍🏽🙏🏽

THE BEST Location, Ocean Views and Parking!
Good location, walkable to Ala Moana Shopping Center and other restaurants/stores. Both elevators were working when we arrived so that helped allay some concerns posted by previous guests. The apartment was well-stocked, smaller than I expected (I would not recommend the space for more than 2 adults) but adequate for a stay where we were out and about most of the day. In-room washer/dryer was the gamechanger and really helped not having to go to the common area especially since the elevators could be slow. Pool and hot tub were a little small and not very aesthetically-pleasing (they were located on the ground floor, not many chairs, but serviceable if you had kids who wanted to play). Lots of instructions to get in which was fine. The door code locks you out after 3 wrong entries which seems a little restrictive but we managed. Overall nice touched with the chocolates, kitchen had everything we needed for a short stay, and it was a good experience.

Seabreeze Studio (Legal Rental)
Angie listing advertises a studio space that you can expect to see when you arrive. Aside from certain decor for listing photos, all of the amenities stated are present. Check-in was flexible - they made sure we would be able to check in earlier than they anticipated to accommodate our early flight in. The shower was very strong when we had first used it (like spraying hail) but the pressure had eventually reduced to a more tolerable pressure on its own on the second use. Elevator availability was a negative we experienced but out of Angie's control and a minor inconvenience. Location was great - a brief walk's distance to Waikiki. Parking at the building has changed to $33/night with their 1-5 overnight passes being made available. Local recommendations were given - definitely ask Angie about it in case you want to squeeze some recommendations into your itinerary. 10/10 for our purpose of a week in Honolulu, I would recommend to anyone looking for a place in Waikiki. Thanks Angie!

Coastal Chic Condo with Ocean View & Full Kitchen
The condo is in a great location, mostly away from the busy-ness of the area while still feeling convenient. The place was decorated nicely, had all the amenities we needed, close walking to shopping and close driving to the Ala Moana mall. Comfortable beds, though we didn't love the pillows. TV had streaming access and though we didn't have access to the balcony due to construction, we didn't miss it. Our family stayed at the turquoise hotel next door and we were grateful to not be over there as it was way busier and chaotic than Colin and Lisa's place. That other hotel offers coffee and restaurants that are easy to walk over to without having to go on the street so that was a plus. Love the walkability of their condo and ease of getting in and out of Waikīkī. Would def come back and stay again!

30 Steps to the beach! Sleeps 4 TA154-814-0544-01
We absolutely loved it here and staying in this beautiful part of the island. The beach really is just steps away from your bed and is really great for snorkeling. The apartment is very beautifully decorated and has everything you need, the kitchen is well equipped. It is ideal for a party of two or three. Jona was very friendly and answered quickly always. We definitely recommend this place,

Modern Marina Retreat - Fully Licensed
My partner and I loved our stay here in Honolulu! Kelly was proactive and responded to any question we had within minutes! The space was clean and welcoming and we utilized the amenities she had provided such as beach gear and coolers. Overall great host and great place! Would definitely recommend and book again!

1Bd1Bath | FREE Parking | 1 block to Kuhio Beach
We loved staying at Andrew’s airbnb. He was a great host and responded to us quickly and kindly making us feel welcome. The home felt comfortable, clean and modern and had a great kitchen set up making it feel homely. It was easy walking distance to the beach (and the beach trolley, chairs and umbrella were very handy). Many shops and restaurants all easily walking distance too. Would recommend Andrew’s home and would stay again.

9K Hawaiian Princess - Alii Hale Aina
My husband and I stayed at the Hawaiian Princess on our honeymoon, and I can only describe it in five words: Quiet, comfortable, clean, safe, and relaxing! We would stay here again on a future vacation and highly recommend it.

Waimea Bay Studio 1BD With Sauna - NS Oahu
We had the best time here. So close to Waimea Bay which became our fav beach, it was less than a 10 min walk! Absolutely wonderful place to stay, also very kind and helpful host!

One of a kind Beach front 2brm ocean and mnt views
Great location with incredible scenery. It's a very quiet and private area. I would recommend staying here if you're looking to be away from the busyness of the city.

Beautiful Lagoon Tower by Hilton- 2bd villa
The location of this place was amazing. As a family we have always stayed further down closer to the zoo but this location really does have it all. The beaches are amazing, everything is still easily within walking distance and the Hilton property really does have it all. The suite we stayed in was clean, great AC and lots of space for a family of 4. The kitchen could use a few more items to cook with. We went over Christmas and tried to eat in a bit more than usual and had to be VERY creative with our cooking because of what the kitchen had to offer. We throughly enjoyed our stay and you know it’s been a great vacation when you’re sad to leave!

Hale Mahina Beach House
Nice beach house. Little busier road than expected to get to the beach, but liked the access to the nice beach and easy access to local attractions.

LAST MIN Lagoon Tower by Hilton- 2 bedroom Aloha
Hilton Village is easy. Has everything you could need or want so you don’t spend time driving all over in Honolulu traffic! We wanted to arrive and park it! This place allowed us to do just that!!

Your Zen Haven
Arlee’s listing, nestled in the Ko’Olina Hillside Villas community was a perfect fit for our family of four adults (parents, daughter, and son-in-law).. The two bedroom and two and one half bath layout worked very well for us.. The kitchen was amply supplied with a variety of pots, pans, dishes, flatware, and cooking utensils.. Coffee was courtesy of a Kuerig and a few provided K-Cups and condiments.. After a trip to the local Safeway ($$$) and subsequent trips to Target ($$) we used the kitchen as much as we needed to, preparing breakfast nearly daily, and morning coffee always!! The property is within walking distance (for those so inclined) to the nearby Ko’Olina Resort complex (Marriott & Disney), the Ko’Olina Golf Course, and several restaurants and shops.. The area is also in the flight path for the international airport, so frequent plane spotting was a bonus.. All in all, aside from a few improvements we recommended via the messaging feature, we had an outstanding stay!!

🏝 Ilikai Condo Waikiki Beach Ocean Views
Such good location, walkable to restaurants and the beach. Cute balcony overlooking the beach as well :) Everything was amazing

Ocean Front Unit with Firework View- Free Parking
Great condo and we enjoyed our stay. Great location and view of the ocean. Everything was as described/pictured and Mouy was quick to respond to messages.

Deluxe Panorama View home in Waikiki
There’s a food truck place right across the street there’s a 711 right next door less than a two minute walk. The pool is very nice. It’s not very busy. It’s open until 11 which is nice and the beaches. The one that is Waikiki Beach is like a 45 minute walk, but we found out at the end of our trip but there’s one like 10 minutes behind the Hilton hotel . Even though that you’re not associated with the hotel staff, the staff is so nice there they greet you every time they see you would highly recommend staying at this place.

RusticLuxe — Go Fully Custom at Turtle Bay
We (2 adults + 2 kids aged 8 and 4) really enjoyed our stay at this very comfortable apartment. It has a lot of personality and everything is above average, from the construction materials to the cutlery and appliances. In spite of the heat, it was nice and cool inside. The environment is also pretty much impossible to beat. The beaches in this area are world class but keiki beach is a stand out and only a short walk across the green. Sunset drinks and dining at the hotel is also a short walk. In short, certainly wouldn't mind going back.

*Serendipity on the Moana! - Legal & Beachfront!*
The place is a beautiful and amazingly up-kept! When inside, view is truly what the pictures show. Truly a sense of peace the home brings to you, u wake up and rest up with a secure feeling. The place really had all amenities covered, I can't think back of anything needed. So Con of location, its not by your popular tourist locations but get a car rental, everything was about an 1hr to 1.30hr away even in heavy traffic. Also, it was tent city around near beaches, the location were air bb did have beach front was clear of tents about 1 mi. to both sides of it. im sure u can relate to your city, conclusion is this is our country problem Yes, I would stay here again! 100% would recommend too anyone that loves a lot of home time and just a sense of peace! the place has a security guard at night, the pool area is clean and has a walk into the beach, easy access. Met some neighbors and all were friendly. Theirs restaurants, grocery, and convenient store near by. The place was Amazing!!!

Live like a local in HNL, HI - Pat’s at Punalu’u
Nicely redone condo right on the beach with a peek-a-boo ocean view. Far from the hustle of Honolulu.

🏄♀️ BEST WAIKIKI BEACH~OCEAN VIEWS~Legal Rental

LEGAL VACATION RENTAL!! CLEAN WAIKIKI GRAND STUDIO
I stayed here for 2 weeks by myself. The place was perfect! Very walkable and close to everything you would need. Tiare was very responsive and kind. I would definitely recommend this place and would happily stay here again. 😊
