Apartment in Honolulu, HI
Reasons to book
About this apartment rental

THINGS TO NOTE (QUIRKS)
✔ Larger Lanai (Large enough to sit and lounge and exclusive to the 2nd floor in this building complex)
✔ 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 is a dishwasher in this unit
✔ 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 2nd floor so it's quite close to the street but it is ocean/harbor side. There are street noises and a restaurant close by (you may be able to hear music - although a lot of guests tell us they enjoy it). If you are very sensitive to noise, I don't think this is a good fit for you.

DISCLAIMERS: PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING
The Ilikai Marina was built in 1968, and we want to be upfront about a few building-related conditions so you can decide whether this unit is the right fit for your stay.
✔ PLUMBING: Because the building has older pipes, occasional slow drains or blockages may occur. The building may also temporarily shut off the water on Thursdays for scheduled maintenance, usually for approximately 3–4 hours. We check the faucets and drains before every stay, but please let us know if you notice any issues.
✔ BALCONY DOORS: We regularly maintain and lubricate the balcony (lanai) doors, but they may occasionally feel stiff or require extra effort to open. Replacing the door wheels is a significant repair, and we arrange this when necessary.
✔ RESTAURANT & FOOD AROMAS: A restaurant is located directly below the unit, so cooking and food aromas may occasionally be noticeable. If you’re especially sensitive to smells, this unit may not be the best fit for you.
✔ PESTS: Occasional pests, including roaches, are common in Hawaii’s warm and humid tropical climate. The restaurant below and neighboring units may also affect pest activity. The building receives quarterly pest-control treatments, and we arrange additional professional treatment and flushing when needed. While we take active preventive measures, we cannot guarantee a completely pest-free stay.
To help prevent pests, please keep the kitchen clean, wipe down surfaces after use, and avoid leaving food, crumbs, or open containers out. A broom, dustpan, and vacuum are available in the unit for your convenience.
If any of these conditions would make you uncomfortable, we kindly recommend choosing another property. By booking this unit, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these disclosed building-related conditions. As these factors are clearly disclosed before booking and may be outside the host’s direct control, they should not be used afterward to request a discounted rate or refund.
Thank you for your understanding. We’ll always do our best to help make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible!
