Awesome stay at Makai side’s place for the second leg of my trip. Location’s perfect for everything, not to mention it’s at the 27th floor so the sunset’s within the view! Biggest perks for me were the free parking and laundry. The place was clean and had nice modern ammenities. Makai Side VR provided with detailed instructions from getting your parking fob to your check out. Will def consider staying again if I’m in Oahu!

Angie was a very responsive, clear and very good host.The location of the room is fantastic, very close to Ala Moana Shopping Center, and easy to get around Oahu by bus. Towels, soap, and hangers were provided, and there was plenty of toilet paper and tissue paper. There was a toaster, microwave, oven, electric kettle, and cutlery, which was convenient. Thank you, Angie.

Great location, just off Ala Moana Blvd. See sunset from balcony. Laundry room on the same floor. Covered parking on site, very accessible, be sure to get a parking pass when you first arrive. Apartment has all you need for cooking. There also are beach chairs, and beach towels. The building has on site security 24/7. Kyle was a great host, quick to respond when we reached out to him with questions, communication was easy and appreciated. Comfortable bed, plenty of pillows to choose from. AC kept the unit pleasantly cool, the ceiling fans distribute the air nicely and windows have both drapes and shades to block afternoon sun. Close them both when leaving and when you return, the unit will be nice and cool.

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 141 reviewsOcean views at Ilikai Marina - Parking included!
Elina was a very good host and the condo was lovely. Great communication, flexibility on timing, and responsive to questions. The condo was very clean, which I appreciated (not a single stray hair seen👍🏻), the view was great and we saw fireworks in multiple directions on New Years Eve. A few things I wish I would have known: the condo is on the harbor, which is a nice view but it is a little trek to the actual beach. While the condo is near to Ala Moana shopping center, it is about a mile or so off the main Waikiki strip with most of the main hotels and restaurants. This could be good or bad depending on what you are looking for. Overall, had everything we needed and was peaceful and problem-free. Thank you!

Brian's place was amazing! Brian and Jenna are super nice and very responsive. The place was very convinient, 15-20 min walk to the main Waikiki area as well as to Ala Moana shopping mall. There are food trucks right by the corner if you need to get food. Close to the beach as well. Brian was really flexible with the check in time and they kindly let me know when it was ready. The area can get a bit loud but they do have ear plugs ready for you, so if you're sensitive to sound, it would be good to use it! I would definitely come back again when I'm in Honolulu!

This Airbnb is restorative! It was a pleasure to wake up every morning in my surroundings and throw open the sliding doors to the deck and just feel the awesomeness. The view, sounds, and closeness of the ocean was SPECTACULAR. The semi-private beach was lovely for a swim (towels provided) and/or a chair (provided) plus a good book. Not lengthy enough for a walk. I took off on foot down the road and had a nice walk on the public beach. The apartment had the most gorgeous woodwork, and the kitchen had everything needed. Those sleeping in the second bedroom might want to bring sleeping masks as the sun shines in very brightly in the morning. It's a remote location, so stop at the grocery and Costco on your way from the airport. It's a real feel-good place! Would love to visit again.

4.79 out of 5 average rating, 28 reviewsHale Mahina Beach House
Easy access to a great beach. We did miss a couple days of swimming as the jellyfish were in and stung my oldest son, but it is the ocean and such things happen. We just drove a few minutes north to another beach our last day there. The house was just as described, it had everything we needed. I had read previous reviews about the busy road and loud ac units so we expected that, but I do agree. All in all, it was a great place for our family this trip and we were glad we stayed.

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 74 reviewsKo Olina Beach Villas Beachfront (Beach Tower709)
The Ko Olina condo was spacious, peaceful and located in the most beautiful beachfront setting. You had views of the ocean from every room including both bedrooms. The kitchen was very functional with upgraded appliances, dishes and appurtenances. The grounds of the condo were wonderful with swimming pools, hot tubs, barbecues, and a large koi pond. Outside the gated facility was a walkway leading in both directions to other beachfront hotels and restaurants or to the private lagoon straight ahead. You will be hard pressed to find a nicer condo on the island of Oahu!

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 128 reviewsEndless Ocean Views Waikiki Ilikai - New Bathroom
This place is amazing. The view is bonkers and you can go from laying in bed to swimming in the ocean in like 3 minutes. Easy access by foot to the pool, Duke's lagoon, and the ocean. The unit is great, with a nice big lanai/balcony, full kitchen, and King bed. The building is cool, there's a few restaurants and a bunch of shops. If you are lucky enough to go on a Friday, there is a free luau and then fireworks, which you can watch from your room! The hosts are terrific; Cintia and Chris are mega responsive and really sweet. I definitely recommend them and this unit.

We enjoyed our short stay at Vin's place. The room was very clean and the photos are accurate. There was a small issue with our door code at check-in, but was resolved relatively quickly online. The room has a great view of the Friday fireworks show. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked (BYO Coffee beans), the bathroom was clean, and the AC was strong and quiet. Access to on-site parking was the best. We would stay here again.

We stayed for 10 days ay this beautiful condo and wished we could have stayed longer. The hosts are very responsive and even dropped off supplies when we asked for them. The location is perfect. It’s at the end of Waikiki beach which makes it more quiet, and there are many things to see and do around it. The Ilikai has a wonderful market, stores and restaurants. The view from the lanai is incredible! And, the parking spot is a huge perk.

Condo in Waianae
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 43 reviewsGorgeous Beachfront Corner Unit Condo
This place is a hidden gem. The beach was easily the best we have stayed on in Hawaii. We saw sea turtles swimming near shore and whales in the distance, daily! The unit was clean and just as pictured. They had everything we needed for a fun day at the beach. We also enjoyed exploring the state park north of the unit. The only drawback, and it was minimal, was the traffic in the evening getting to and from the unit.
