Ocean-City Views at Marine Surf Close to the Beach w/Parking & Full Kitchen

Good location and nice stay except street noise sounds

The best feature of this property is the location - closeness to the businesses in the area, to Waikiki Beach, and for this specific unit, the allocated parking. The unit itself is in good condition and everything worked. Some suggestions for improvements include: 1) Perhaps some upgrades to soundproofing the patio doors - street noise, especially garbage disposal starting at 500am is hearable daily. 2) some upgrades to the shading - while the shading worked, it was not complete - due to how the shades are configured, it is difficult to get close to blackout conditions - sunlight could come in even though all shades are down 3) some instructions for the TV / cable would be ideal - upon activation and turning on - the TV was not on the right input and one has to experiment to get the cable tv working. 4) AC can be improved - it is adequate - but needs to be maintained regularly 5) Water pressure in the shower could be improved - perhaps remove the water flow restrictor in the shower head. Other than above points, the unit is as advertised.

This was a great place to stay. It was walking distance to everything in Waikiki. The host was super chill and easy to communicate with. This place was a huge plus because it came with a parking stall. I think the only con was that it could get a little noisy in the morning. You can hear other people opening the sliding doors to the balcony.I would stay here again and highly recommend it.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My daughter and I stayed in this unit (1705) for 8 nights. My choice was based on cost, location, amenities. The cost was reasonable, and with included parking, it surpassed many comparable options in other buildings. The place was clean, but not completely updated. The bathroom looks fairly original, and while clean, it was aged. Some tile cracked in the shower, worn surfaces and not a separate fan for venting. The sink had a strainer instead of the regular stopper.
It is nice to have a full kitchen, but there were not a lot of kitchen extras. It would have been nice to have some more coffee mugs, including travel mugs. A strainer for noodles or rinsing food, a blender, a whisk, and a small cooler.
There is a closet for hanging clothes but no other clothes storage. There is not an outlet by the vanity which would be helpful, and a luggage rack and/or dresser for clothes.
The rental agency provides some start up items - tp, garbage bags, but once they run out you provide your own. I did buy some basics - lysol wipes, bathroom spray, hand soap, kleenex, bathing soap.
They also do not provide beach items except for 2 beach towels.
The AC unit has difficulty keeping up with humidity. We used the towel drying rack constantly but swimsuits and towels never completely dried out.
Walls are thin so we heard our neighbors on their lanais and outside sounds at all hours.
Management gets a 5 out of 5. They were very responsive and corrected all items I brought to their attention. We had the sliding door fixed going to the lanai as it was sticking badly. They brought a laundry basket, dish drying rack and some needed silverware the same day I asked. We had issues getting our tv to work properly, and they responded nicely each time.
Overall, we were satisfied but not wowed. I do highly recommend this rental company!
