Newly Renovated Sweeping Ocean and Diamond Head View Waikiki Condo

Our stay in this condo worked out perfectly! The view of Diamond Head and the ocean from the living room and bedroom were breathtaking! The condo was clean and fresh-looking, with it's light-colored blue walls and white accents. We loved that there were room-darkening curtains in both the living room and bedroom. The beds and sofa couch were all comfortable - no aches and pains, even after the fifth night! There were more than enough bath and beach towels and sheets and blankets. The host was super-responsive, kind, and generous! The location is ideal, as it is literally just a few moments from Waikiki Beach and the main shopping strip of Waikiki. We enjoyed staying at the Diamond Head-end of Waikiki, as it presented as more quiet and less crowded than it can be closer to Ala Moana and downtown Honolulu. The only criticism I would offer is to consider updating some of the finer/decorative details of the condo, such as the lamp shades, the shower curtain rod; and fixing the closet door in the bedroom so that it slides open and closed easily. Oh, and mirrors, more mirrors! This condo was otherwise beautiful and super-functional! Thank you!

The property is in a great location and is very well maintained. The beach, restaurants, coffee shops and shopping were all within easy walking distance. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Waikiki including beach towels, chairs, umbrella and boogie boards. The host gave clear entry instructions and was responsive to our questions. Access to the parking garage was very convenient. We would definitely stay here again.

The place is 80% of what was described. There is no washer/dryer in the unit (it's a pay washer/dryer at the end of the hall), there isn't a dishwasher, bring all of your own toiletries and small things that were less than expected. Overall, the check in and checkout process for parking was a mess. The parking situation (free parking was never disclosed on the post). I had to ask. If you expect a 9.8 out of 10 experience, this place is not it.Overall, we were comfortable and worked around the issues.

Overall stay wasn't too bad - nice view (tho blocked by other buildings, still good and as described), and renovated apartment, definitely modern & cleaner compared to other properties' photos you may find in Waikiki as most of buildings there are quite old. However, couple of issues we just really couldn't let go: - Bathtub clogging issue: This was issue from Day 1. I believe they need hair catcher or something placed. It appears cleaner did not care too much about cleaning the bathtub drain after previous customers. I contacted owners and while they replied that night with solution (bringing plumber next day), this end up not happening. My mum ended up digging out hairs and such in the drain with chopsticks as it just doesn't make sense to wait long time for dirty water to go down after one's shower before next one showers. Owners messaged late that night that plumber cancelled and offer to come next day at 11pm or later, but what had to be done was already done by that time. - Our last night was also ruined by random events. Apparently there was a fire started on 26th floor and while I'm grateful it wasn't our floor but still worried us! Whole night from 6pm, there were multiple fires and we were asked to come all outside the building and wasn't allowed to go in till 10ish and ofc all roads were blocked with police + fire trucks. Quite distressful experience and we were honestly exhausted, and had to stay up till late to finish packing. Unlike hotel, no compensation...
