“ FWe had a good time in Hawaii. We enjoyed our stay. We found everything clean and working well. We made our breakfast every day and sat on the lanai every morning. It was nice sitting out and looking at the sunset in the evenings. We found it to be the perfect place for location. The beach was a five minute walk and they were clean and relaxing. The super mall was about a five minute walk as well. The whole time I felt safe walking around which is one of the best things I liked. I would definatly go back and rent unit 1639. The owner was very nice and we appreciate everything she did to make our stay feel like home. Mahalo Don & Faye ”

“ Truly a great unit! Everything we needed was there, from cooking utensils to shampoo and boogie boards. The furnishings and floor plan were wonderful, allowing open space and privacy. The views and sunsets are exceptional from the patio. Very friendly people in and around the building and very close to everything. Helen was very prompt and thorough with check in information and followup questions, thank you for your assistance when my wife locked herself out. We would definitly book this again. ”

“ This was our first time renting a condo instead of staying at a hotel and I can definitely say I would go back again. The condo was very nice, it had everything we needed and was in a great location. We had three small children and having a full kitchen was wonderful. The only downside was that the pool was being renovated during our stay, but since the beach was only a 5 minute walk we really didn't mind. ”

 

Pretty nice first time in Oahu, thanks to this condo.

“ Really good interior design -- its a small space, but the layout really compliments the area so you never feel cramped or overcrowded by the furniture. Very modern and very clean. Although the boats were not much to look at, the sunrise/sunsets from this condo were awesome. You can even spot the surfers on the distant beach, and see regular cruise ships and freighters pass by. Our only concerns were the sliding door lock and the main bed. We had our 3yr with us, and there was no way to securely shut the door -- so ended up barricading the doors at night with furniture...lol. That and the main bed was really uncomfortable -- our son definitely scored with the comfy sofa bed. Re: Ilikai in general - many stores downstairs (lobby area) and the on-location restaurant were boarded up and vacant during our stay, so it has seen better days. The hotel next-door (what you see from lanai) is still undergoing renovation, but construction noise was not an issue. So barring the lobby area, the courtyard gardens were gorgeous. Plus every evening they light the torches outside and have a brief conch shell ceremony around sunset. Also has to be mentioned -- the shared lagoon in walking distance directly before the beach was awesome. They stock it with tiny fish, so all the kids had a blast trying to spot/chase/catch them. Turned out to be a lifesaver when we found out our son thought the sound of waves was 'too scary'! ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for comments about our condo.

I will work to get a lock added to the sliding door to make it more secure in the future. Also, you mentioned that the main bed was uncomfortable. This concerns me greatly because I would like all of my guests to sleep well. Other guests have commented that the bed is extremely comfortable. It is a high quality mattress which was purchases just a few months ago.

I value your feedback and will email you asking if you could offer more information.

Your comments are greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Helen Ting, Owner ”

“ Really enjoyed staying at this condo. It was extremely clean, and well supplied. The condo was very modern right down to email access and a DVD player. Enjoyed having the full kitchen which made breakfasts very enjoyable on the lanai overlooking the beautiful view of the ocean. Highly recommend this property to anyone! We will definitely consider staying here again. ”

 

Fairly nice

“ The Ilikai is not as well maintained as we would have hoped. The neighboring hotel (which is part of the view) appears to be condemned or forgotten, with windows papered over and a pool full of brown water. The condo itself was nicely appointed, but the building fire alarms went off repeatedly in the night, requiring us to at least get up and call the desk, and at worst carry our frightened 5-year-old down many flights of stairs in the middle of the night. Could be a nice vacation spot after building and area maintenance are completed. ”
