Janna’s attention to detail shines in this comfortable 1-br suite. Beach towels, chairs and umbrella make it easy to spend a day at the nearby beach in comfort. Balcony has great city views and is a lovely spot to unwind after a hard day of doing nothing at the beach. Close to countless restaurants and shops, including dine overpriced ones in the lobby (walk 500 feet to ABC store instead). We will be back.

Upon arrival on March 1st we were moved to the Ilikai Marina due to alleged "plumbing issues". We were told it would be for the first 5 nights of our stay. We went to the original unit the next morning to get some beach chairs and Orkin Pest Control were there. We noticed that all the linens were in bags in the bathroom. We immediately texted Janna and asked if there were bed bugs- she said no and they were there for a preventative spraying. I told her that we were not comfortable going back to this unit on Wednesday and we asked to get a refund on the remainder of our stay and we would find a place. She said no refund. So we went back on Wednesday despite our better judgement and that night my daughter got bit by bed bugs. We were mortified!! We texted the host right away and she said we needed to call VRBO. She would not even call us. We first off called Orkin and got them to send us the report and sure enough they were there on March 2nd to spray for bed bugs. The host continues to deny it despite all the evidence we have presented. We have photos, reports and text message and email correspondence to back up everything we have said. All of it was sent to VRBO. Also the suite presents much better in the photos than in person. The couch is very uncomfortable and it is held together by a bungy cord. I am sure she will respond to this saying we want a free vacation etc as she has done with others but that is not the case. We can back up everything.

What you see from the web is what you get. Nice condo, clean, had most of everything we needed. The owner Janna, is wonderfull she is always there for you and with in no time. Which it was great. We really had a great time. Thx.

Beautiful building, very pleasant and informative host, perfect location. I recommend! Thank you again.

We arrived and the power had been out for sometime. The host was aware and did not inform us. Our first evening we had to go out to eat and my groceries that I ordered all spoiled. The unit is dated and small. Many issues with things being sort of taped together. The ac is a wall unit that they do not want you to run while you’re not in the room. Which is unfortunate to return to a hot room and then it makes the main room very cold and the actual bedroom very warm. Parking at the property is very expensive. This is not what I would consider a kid friendly unit. The tables are all glass and my two small children barely fit on the pull out couch, which is smaller than a futon. Because of the outage at the building there were no other units available in the area for us to rebook. This was very disappointing. The power did return late our first evening.

The location was great and the place was as listed. The fold out couch was more like a super single. Laundry was close and easy... Could even use a credit card.

Great place to stay. It is an older Hotel they have made some updates. It was a beautiful time of year to come to Hawaii with it being so close to Christmas. Lots of things to do. They have a nice restaurant in the hotel called cinnamon We had a great breakfast there the French toast was fabulous. On Friday night, we enjoyed sitting out on the boardwalk and enjoying the firework show from the hotel next-door. Then after that, we went back into the hotel and enjoyed some music. Lots of shopping in both directions from the hotel. Lots of great places to eat. Next -door to the hotel down the boardwalk you’re right onto the beach we enjoyed going out and sitting out there we saw a few turtles while sitting on the beach. Definitely would come back here.

Very nicely decorated and functional.

Celebrating my husbands 60th birthday and it was my first time in Hawai'i we had a great time and property was great

great location bed mattress and sofa bed needs replacing no air conditioning in elevators and hallways

I will definitely come back to this place

Please review building parking policy. It’s quite confusing and parking staff is unfriendly. Do not park in the building prior review and understand the policy.

The location was great, the building staff was nice. Having the valet parking was great, kinda pricey but was worth it. The apartment was good size. We spent most of our time out of the apartment so the size was never an issue. It was my husband, myself and my two teenage daughters.

loved the city view. Very clean and spacious. in the city center, we loved walking around the nearby area. We found some great public parking near the place. comfortable bed and sofa bed. enjoyed using the beach chairs and umbrella, so helpful to have that.

BR closet sliding doors were off the track and on the floor, iron handle was cracked, and my spouse was shocked while ironing, the couch was hard and you felt the springs when sitting on it so we had to use the couch pillows to sit on to be comfortable and the couch legs were held together with a bungee cord and my spouse had back pains most of the week because the bed was also hard and uncomfortable. To top it off, the host send me a message saying that she was going to charge me from my deposit because the bed comforters was soiled.

This place worked out perfectly for us. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We mostly ate out, but the unit had cookware and basic spices to make it easy to prepare meals when eating in. Great view from balcony with plenty of seating. The unit has been renovated recently and was in great shape. To be facing the street, traffic noise was surprisingly unobtrusive. We had friends staying in three other units in the building, and this one as by far the best. Shockingly, no one else had beach chairs or an umbrella included in their unit like we did! Highly recommended.

Property as pictured. Easy check in procedure. Great city view. Would stay again.

Exactly as described, 2nd floor pool great for sunbathing - quick walk to Ala Moana mall, Lewers Ave/Kalākaua Ave .. all amenities were great !

Perfect place if you want to be in the middle of everything. My husband and I loved our week stay, the apt was clean, quiet and we liked the neighbourhood a lot. The Ilikai also has a great restaurant on the top floor that we recommend, we had lunch and an incredible view! Its also very closed to the Hilton lagoon and the beach. Very walkable to many places. We dined in often and the kitchen had the basic tools. As for the couch in the living room, it is not comfortable so we added a lot of pillows when using it to watch tv. All and all, we would love to go back!

Great apartment with sunny morning view and shade in the afternoon. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of beach gear. Clean with a comfortable bed for two - didn’t try the sleeper couch. Nice property - well kept common areas and lots of visible security.

Great property, Fantastic location and super easy check in/check out.

This place is exactly as listed…great location, very clean, nice accommodations. It was perfect for me and my young adult daughter. From the other reviews, I was skeptical about the a/c unit water pan, but this was no big deal at all! We ran it all night and it didn’t overflow. Each morning I would use a small plastic container to scoop out the water into a large kitchen pan, then dump that. It took maybe 10 minutes to empty the a/c pan completely this way; not a hassle at all!

Great time and we'll be back in a couple week.s

We enjoyed the convenience and affordability of this rental. The apartment was clean and well stocked with towels and extra bedding (including a nice blow-up mattress). The beach gear was an added bonus and the air conditioning was great for us Alaskans as we adapted to the tropical weather.

The unit is nice and the location is great. Nice little balcony to sit on. Dumping the water pan for the AC unit is odd. Fortunately, my husband had no problems with it.

It was clean. Not really as depicted in photo. You had to take a pail and empty the water off the balcony from under the air conditioner twice daily. You could not run air while you were out hence always returning to hot room, took awhile to cool each time. Every cupboard and drawer was full some with useful items but alot looked like items guests may have left behind. Cluttered. Left our clothes in suitcases. Sofa worn out you sat down on wood frame. I have stayed at Ilikai hotel and would next time, could not recommend . The location is the best thing about it.

This was a great place to stay with a young family. We had a week to see it all and our manager was responsive to every question from where is the snorkel gear to how do we find the utensils. We were very thankful to have her cell number on the welcome message which was picked up every time we called. Will definitely be booking again with her. Bus stops and cab were convenient and gave us easy access to hiking, the beach Hanauma Bay, surf lessons North Shore car rental for a day and Pearl Harbour.

We loved our stay at this property! Very cute, clean and had everything we needed We did not use any of the beach stuff, but there is a bunch if you choose to use it. Nice size patio for people watching, with comfy chairs! Good location close to beach

Superb location; close to the beach and restaurants. The apartment was well-layed out and convenient. Some of the doors were difficult to use, but we managed. Communication was good with the owner.

Overall great experience. Property was clean and fairly well maintained. Two suggestions…First, WD-40 the right patio door. It was challenging to open. Second, there was no parking pass left and the instructions in the information indicated the keys, pool passes and parking pass were on the fridge. They were not

This property was great for our family of 4. We used the air mattress and couch for our two children. Plenty of linens, access to everything you would need. Would love to stay here again :)

I'm not even sure how to start my review. This room is in the Ilikai hotel (Built in the 60's opened in 1964). The place is almost 60 years old and shows it. The photos showing the place are very deceiving. The mirrors on the wall make it look so much bigger, but it's not. After getting over the moldy smell and looking around, I messaged the owner. I got this message from the owner once I'd checked in - that she has a plumber coming in the next day to fix the toilet. To leave a key for him. Why is this getting fixed when I'm there and not before my stay. I told her there is no bowls in the place to eat out of. This is what I told her word for word. My wife is very disappointed with the condition of this place She is afraid to put anything in medicine cabinet, because the shelves are bowed to the falling out point and it's so yucky looking inside. The air mattress my handicapped son had to sleep on wouldn't hold air. She did replace it on our last night. The list goes on. The countertop has a big crack in it with food and who knows what stuck in it. Photos don't show that. Chains on the blinds were broken off with mold on them. The sliding doors has crud and mold all over them. The plumbing was all working good for us. Well, the shower knob kept falling off. Anyway. I told her to have the person come in after we are gone. My wife was working while on vacation and due to HIPPAA rules no one can see what she's working on. Speaking of doors. It's a studio apartment that someone put a wall down the middle of. When the door is shut the bedroom has no A/C unit or a fan in it. So much for the privacy claim. You have to leave the doors open to get in air in the bedroom. And the doors are sliding doors that come off the track each time you try to open or close them. Same with the bathroom door. My son left his swimming trunks on the balcony one day. She used this for an excuse to come into the apartment to address some of the things I told her about when we were gone. Whomever she sent into our apartment tried to fix things. Left bowls and took the shelves out of the medicine cabinet. Some of our personal belongings were missing. I asked the Hotel Security about this and was told you have 24 hours to remove the item from the balcony (bathing suit) They also stated if you told the owner not to come in and it wasn't an emergency. she has no right coming into the apartment when you are renting it. I did then call the Honolulu Police to make a police report.
