Island Decor Condo w/Ocean View Lanai Dining Bar, Free WiFi–Waikīkī Shore #1306

First time in Hawaii and we couldn’t have picked a better location. The view was so beautiful! Easy access to beach and plenty of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. Highly recommend

This condo is right on the beach with an entire wall of windows facing west toward the hilton. We saw a bunch of sea turtles in the water and it's pretty calm for swimming or paddling this time of year. It is the perfect size for two people. This is walking distance to everything in downtown Honolulu, shopping, bars, restaurants. The bed was comfortable and the area was quiet at night. It was clean and the front desk staff were helpful. We would definitely come back!

From the moment we walked in the door, we knew we made the right decision to stay here. The unit is very well furnished, well taken care of, and looks just like the pictures online. We normally visit Waikiki once or twice a year but this was our first time staying at this property. The location is excellent, and convenient, for what we wish to do during our stay. We would not hesitate staying here again. The only minor problem we had was with the bathroom. Initially the shower would not drain and it took 3 times for them to look at it before it was fixed and a huge amount of hair was removed from the drain. The toilet seat is way past the point of needing to be replaced. It is an old seat that looked like it had been patched and repainted. A new toilet seat is not that much and I really don't think a new toilet seat is out of the question. The inside of the shower could use a thorough cleaning of the mold and then regrought. It would be a big improvement and look so much better. I don't know how often the owner checks on the unit, and really looks around, but these are normal regular maintenance things to be taken care of. Little things can make a difference. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would look forward to staying here again sometime in the future.

First the positives; the view is just as pictured (absolutely stunning), the wall of sliders and large deck are wonderful features, the location is phenomenal (so close to the beach, stores, and restaurants), the shower has good pressure, a/c works great, the furniture is in good shape, and the appliances work well. That being said, this unit lacks amenities and comfort; several of the windows don't open properly or at all (including 2 of the 3 bathroom ones and the bathroom doesn't have a fan), the bed is very firm and doesn't have a good comforter (just thin fleece blankets), also the bed is 2 twins pushed together (so there is a seam down the middle), the dining room table is very short (making it uncomfortable/hard to eat from), the kitchen lacks some basics like pot holders and dishsoap (only dishwasher detergent provided). Being that there is no housekeeping due to Covid a vacuum in the unit would be nice. Of note, the a/c kicks out so much heat that it makes the big, beautiful deck very hot. One last thought is some beach equipment would be a nice feature; chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc., especially since on Waikiki beach it is $50 a day to rent two chairs and an umbrella.
