Sweet Blue Hawaii! Ocean View! No resort Fee!

Great spot

Nice clean unit, nice view of the ocean. Good location for quick access to the beach. Pool was shut down entire time with no prior notice, but we were able to use the interesting pool at the Bamboo hotel next door. Unit has a lot of noise all day due in large part to the construction next door of a new hotel but also a lot of noise at night due to its orientation facing Kuhio St. and central Waikiki.

Other than some construction noise during the day, it was good. Very, very short walk to all the cool stuff in Waikīkī. The pool is nice, but needs a little maintenance. The bed was amazingly comfortable, but I never really figured out the tv (who goes to Hawaii to watch tv anyway?). All in all, I would be happy to rent here again

The first thing we noticed when we arrived is that the view is of the city. You can see the ocean from just a corner of the patio. You cannot hear the ocean over the city noise. The room is decorated beautifully, but we found that it felt as though there were too many items in such a tight space.The space was clean but there were areas that just didn’t feel as clean as we’d have liked, such as debris around the bed frame and dead gnats on the ceiling of the shower. Some items just looked as though they had been skipped over for a while. The shower is extremely small. There is some inconsistency within instructions. For instance, the instructions say we will pay an administrative fee directly to the front desk at checkin. But several days before we were sent a request through VRBO for the amount (which had increased). The pool area was under renovation during our visit, and looks as though it will be for a bit. Overall this is an efficiency without any daily house keeping, so keep that in mind if you intend to stay a while (only two sets of towels). The location was close enough for us to walk to the beach and go out for meals, etc. So overall it served our needs for this short trip.
