Perfect location - right on the beach with amazing views. The furniture / amenities in the property are all relatively new. Would definitely stay at this property again.

Very very dirty. No towels and ammanities

Background: Over the past several years, I have used VRBO many times to reserve my stays at Castle Shore Waikiki in various units throughout the building. Usually I communicate directly with the unit owner or a management company. Unit #500 is managed directly by Castle Shore Resorts so they took over the booking. Positives: The view was spectacular! No question. Great sunsets, directly on swimming beach and very close to restaurants and shopping. We felt very safe there. The Castle Shore employees were friendly, helpful and professional. Because the rental was being managed by the resort, amenities such as soaps, trash bags, toilet paper, etc were provided on an as needed basis by calling the front desk. Water pressure in the showers, toilets, sinks and washing machine was very strong. Negatives (in my opinion): The inside of the unit looked NOTHING like the photos shown in their material. To my knowledge, the photos still have not been updated. I called the front desk immediately to express my disappointment and my feeling that the unit had been misrepresented. I also felt that I had been overcharged. The unit appeared to me to be very bland, no colorful bedding, furnishings or decorations. The furnishings seemed to me to be what one would expect in a two star hotel. Other than the pull outs, the beds are all twin size which can be pushed together for a queen. Because I did not want to be held responsible for prior damage, I called the front desk the first three days as I discovered issues, one of which was severe water damage in the ‘sunroom’ (shown as a colorful bedroom in photos). I stopped reporting my findings because I felt like I was becoming a pest even though there were still little things like fan/AC remotes not working properly, loose toilet paper holder and loose handle on the only frying pan. Chaise lounge in photos on side lanai have been replaced with six very uncomfortable straight back iron chairs with no cushions. Also the side lanai and the front lanai are not connected so are not ‘wraparound’. Summary: I would encourage Castle Shore to thoroughly go through the unit to check, tighten and repair prior to guests arrival, update the photos on all their rental sites to accurately reflect the inside unit and fully disclose problems in the unit that are pending repairs. We did have a good time and the outside views outweighed the inside unit issues but I still wish I had been given accurate info.

Location is perfect. Property is AT the beach -- NOT "near" the beach. Panoramic view of Waikiki Beach and the sound of crashing surf. Balconies allow you to sit outside and take in the beauty. Sliding doors all over, so you can have the ocean air throughout. The BUILDING is older, but this unit is 100% modern remodeled, and perfectly positioned at the end of the building overlooking the water. Also, I loved the high-pressure showers, which we have not been able to have here in California for a long time.

The condo was great although a little tired, the carpet and couch could do with a clean. The position was excellent, the view was amazing, proximity to everything was good, especially the beach. I would definitely stay in this Condo again. Louise from Sydney
