My family and I stayed in unit 1294 for 9 days on a recent trip to O'ahu. The condo was perfect for us! My husband was attending a conference at the Hilton Hawaiian Village just two hotels down from us- less than a 10 minute walk. From the Ilikai Marina I could walk with our 14 month old to the beach, to the lagoon, to the Ala Moana Mall (where there's also a full grocery store), or take a longer walk down into the "heart" of Waikiki. It was also a convenient starting point for driving to other parts of the island, like the North Shore and to Hanauma Bay.
The condo itself had everything we needed and we loved having a full kitchen. The view from the condo is fantastic and on our last morning we were treated to a gorgeous full rainbow just outside. The bed was comfy, the air conditioning worked great, it was easy to park and easy to make all the arrangements with Chuck, the property manager. We rented baby equipment like a high chair and pack-n-play from a local company called www.babytravelmadeeasy.com. They provided a great service.
The only drawback to the condo is there is no dishwasher. Since we did a lot of cooking ourselves, this was one convenience that would have been nice to have. Also one of the standing lamps in the living room had a burnt out bulb and the toilet tank seemed to have a leak so the water would run more than it needed to. We used the washer and dryer in the building twice during our stay and that was really nice to have nearby.
We would definitely stay here again!

The condo was picked up and sort of clean. There were food scraps in the kitchen sink, the refrigerator was not wiped down, the kitchen had been swept, but the dustpan was not used to complete the task, the windows toward the extraordinary view were not clean, the glass top tables and furniture were dusty, there were visible dust clusters under the bed, and there was an empty candy wrapper on the bed.
I called the owner within minutes to let him know the condition. I also called the individual in charge of cleaning. She did come a few hours later, and cleaned the sink and floor.
I paid a $120.00 cleaning fee, and asked that the fee be reduced or waived. The owner did not call back either that evening or during the following 3 days.

THIS WAS THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES. WE WERE CELEBRATING OUR 10TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AND COULDN'T HAVE PICKED A BETTER ISLAND OR CONDO TO STAY AT. IT WAS CLEAN EVERYTHING WAS ON HAND THAT WAS NEEDED. SCENERY WAS SO BEAUTIFUL WE COULDN'T STOP LOOKING AT IT. WAIKIKI BEACH WAS IN WALKING DISTANCE AND CAN BE SEEN FROM THE CONDO. YOU WERE SO ACCOMODATING TO US AND IT WAS APPRECIATED. WE WERE THINKING WE WOULD LIKE TO STAY THERE AGAIN SOMETIME. WE ARE PLANNING ANOTHER TRIP NEXT YEAR WE MAY GO TO MAUI BUT IF WE COME TO OAHU WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT YOU. (There was one thing that I was thinking would be nice. If you were able to put up a long mirror on the back of a door so we could get a good view of ourselves, maybe that is vain but I would have liked to see myself in full view) THANK YOU FOR THE MOST WONDERFUL VACATION OF OUR LIVES.

When my family and I arrived at the Ilikai Marina, we were surprised at how
close it was to so many sites. We were within walking distance of Waikiki
Beach, Ala Moana Mall and Park. We had a great view of the marina and a
beautiful sunset every night. The room had enough room for the four of us
and amenities like a kitchenette stocked with dishes and appliances, a bathtub
with a jacuzzi, two TV's with cable, and a sofa bed for the kids. It was a great
central location to all the places we wanted to see. We had a blast. The only
thing I could not figure out was how to turn on the showerhead, but the
jacuzzi made up for that. After a long day of sightseeing, the warm jets of
water soothed my sore muscles and helped me relax on my vacation.

This place was fantastic!! Everything we expected and more. Very Clean. Great View. Convenient to all. Chuck @ Aloha rentals was also great to deal with. He had great follow up on everything from start to finish. This unit made our vacation to Oahu even more enjoyable and having breakfast every morning overlooking such a wonderful view, made it very difficult to leave.

We needed a place close to a relative's apartment with easy access and
near-by parking. The location was exactly what we were looking for
and parking couldn't have been easier. We could walk out the door of
the apartment, take the elevator, and be in the parking garage in less
than five minutes. The view of the marina was delightful. The
apartment was well furnished, the bed was comfortable, and the
kitchen seemed stocked with all the plates, cups, glasses, and flatware
anyone would need. It met our needs exactly.

My wife and I have been coming to Oahu for every 40 years. We usually stay in hotels or with friends. For many years our parents rented condos at the Ilikai Marina. We looked for a gem and we found it.
Great view, beautifully appointed accomodation exactly as depicted in the internet video, and the location inspires exploring Ala Moana and the Waikiki area on foot.
We are definitely returning to this unit!

My family experienced the magic of Hawai'i at Christmas and New Year's from this waterfront condo in Honolulu. The condo was in exceptional condition, and the service was first rate. All of our questions were answered with speed and curtesy, and basic needs were anticipated without our asking! From the great views, to the great accomodations, we could not have asked for a more perfect vacation. Mahalo to Aloha Condos!

Pros:
- Absolute Ocean Front (not just 'ocean view')
- Convenient Location
- Updated Interior
Cons:
- Would be really nice to have a kettle.
- No full-length mirror.
- No shampoo/Linse/body wash (some condos supply these amenities)
- There was no welcome gifts/snacks (that was in the condo the last time we rented).
- Dish-washing sponge was too dirty and old to be useful ( I would use that sponge to do my dishes at home)
- There was only a little bath cleaner.
- There was no medium-size towel that was there the last time.
- No dish washer.
- Could have used another set of bed sheets.

Condo was not cleaned from previous occupant and had to call for service. Also, garage charged for 4, 24hr. periods when we checked in after 11am on the 1st and had to be out by 11am on the 4th. The sign posted at the gate clearly states per 24hr period. Would also have liked a lanai large enough to enjoy sitting on and a pool! Location was great and condo itself was otherwise comfortable, MUCH better than unit 394 which rents for same rate. Also liked the convenient check-in procedures.

It is a wonderful place to stay. Just 5 minutes of walk you can get to
beach. This room is oceanfront and it has a beautiful view of the
ocean with lots of boats. Fireworks occasionally can be seen at night
from the small balcony and they are spectacular. The hotel is quiet
and you can have good sleep. The kitchen has a good set of cooking
utensils and you can save money cooking yourself. We have a very
good time with our then-4-year-old son there. Would like to go back
there sometime soon :)

The condo is very tastefully decorated and the view is spectacular. We especially enjoyed watching the sunset from our lanai overlooking the ocean. The Ilikai is located within walking distance of Waikiki Beach to the south and Ala Moana shopping mall to the north. Next year will be our 3rd year returning to this beautiful location - the condo has such a warm homey feeling, just perfect for the two of us!

The condo was better than advertised. Great accommodation, close to the water and a view to forever. Appliances were just like home and easy to use. The little extras were great for beach use and even a printer for the laptop.
I would do it again.

From the moment that we decended into Honolulu, we knew this would be an amazing trip. After a short ride from the airport, we arrived at Ilikai Marina. The building is well-maintained in a very nice part of Honolulu, but not in the crush of tourists just a few blocks down the road. Everything in the condo is top-notch and includes all of the comforts of home and then some. From the high-end updated kitchen--including granite countertops, stainless stell fridge, appliances (and a welcome basked with Kona coffee--a Hawaiian favorite), to the gorgeous wood cabinetry, the condo is so nice you might not want to leave. Thanks to the open floor plan, you can enjoy the view from nearly every room in the place. After enjoying the sunset over the marina, retreating to the whirlpool tub is a special treat. Waking to a gorgeous sunrise over the ocean just can't be beat. The condo is conveniently located on the marina--a quick walk to the most popular Wakiki beach, shops, and restaurants. We enjoyed the proximity without having to be in the middle of the hustle and bustle. There is a market right across the street should you realize you forgot any essentials (beach towels, mats, sunscreen, etc. were all available in the condo). The beaches in the area are gorgeous and offer a variety of activities (surfing lessons, paddle boarding, catamaran excursions, etc.). This was the perfect location for visiting Honolulu, one that I will highly recommend to my friends and family! — V.B. September 2009
Thank you so much for letting us stay at your condo on Waikiki. We all had a blast. My kids loved the fact that we could walk to the beach and to the Ala Moana Mall. I used the jacuzzi to turn my sore muscles into jello. We were all well rested after sleeping on your comfortable beds. It was truly a great experience. — Rolando July 2009
