“ Plus Side--Four restaurants an elevator ride away. Walk to everything. Great views. Great kitchen. Comfortable bed. Clean and fresh. Minus Side--Uncomfortable living room furniture. Flimsy cookware and cutting knives. Air conditioning that took forever to cool the room down. PS--Plus side far outweighs minus side. We would come back in a heartbeat. ”

“ This condo was a breath of fresh air when you stepped inside, both literally and figuratively! What a wonderful view! With the lanai door and window open there was always a great breeze, and we didn't need the A/C. The condo is both well maintained and well appointed. A very nice kitchen and bath, beautiful cabinetry, very nice refrigerator, good furnishings and carpet (except the bedspread and dust ruffle which is badly fading from the sun)...it has a very comfy bed and pillows, good linens and towels. This is a very convenient condo, with easy to access parking (albeit expensive at $17/day and no monthly rate available as described). It's close to Ala Moana Mall, lots of different types of restaurants, shopping, beaches, parks, The Bus Stop, etc. From the living room and lanai of this corner condo you have a great view for the Friday night fireworks. We would definitely recommend this condo, and would stay here again! It's small... but perfect for a couple or a single person.. maybe even with a small child. The inside of the condo looks exactly like the online photos and description. ”

“ The best things I liked and enjoyed during my stayed was the view from the lanai and the left hand wall window. The beautiful sunset. I also like the furnitures, (the couch, the arm chair and the ottoman and the dining table set. The style, color and decor of these furnitures brings out the Island feeling. The location is excellent for people like me that don't drive. ABC stores was very convient, McDonald's is good for fast lunch and Red Lobster was great for dinner. The unit is alittle bit small, to me for myself would be perfect. For two (2) it's a little crowded. And That's the MAX.. What I was dissappointed when I noticed some dirty spots on the rugs as I enter the living area and I also noticed some discolored or rusted flaps, which that I thought it was dirty dust on the Air conditioner's vent. The TV was not working and I had no BIG TV to see for two nights. And finally NO table outside the lanai to put my drinks to enjoyed the ocean air. All and all I enjoyed my stayed and do recommend vacationers to stay at the unit I stayed #1480 instead of a Hotel, especially the conviences with the kitchen, where you can enjoy your delicious breakfast without changing your jammies. ”

“ We absolutely loved Ilikai Marina Condo 1480. The view is amazing, and makes the one bedroom/studio-ish type condo seem larger. The furnishings and "stuff" are great - very complete. Because it is located a ways down from Waikiki and faces the ocean, not Ala Moana Blvd., there is very tolerable street noise when the windows are open. The ocean sounds cover up 99% of the ambient sound. Some issues with bathroom wall electrical outlets - had trouble using my own hairdryer, and the condo hairdryer worked most of the time. Otherwise fabulous. We would definitely stay there again! ”

 

Exceeded our expectations.

“ The ease of renting the condo and arrival information was straightforward. We encountered no problems. We preferred their location as it wasn't as busy as the center of Waikiki but was convenient to everything. The view was the best and we have no negative comments about our stay there. We would have no second thoughts about staying their again. ”

“ Ilikai Marina Condo 1480 was our first experience renting a vacation condo, sight unseen, using an Internet site. It was also our first visit to Honolulu. We hit the jackpot! Originally we tried to book Ilikai Marina Condo 1294 but it was not available for the dates we needed. My wife contacted Chuck Buser, the manager for the condo, and he suggested we take a look at Condo 1480 which was an end unit with a corner view and similar to 1294. We booked 1480 but we had no idea what a great favor Chuck had done for us. The information and pictures on the website were accurate and Chuck answered all of our questions and provided other helpful and useful information. The booking process was very easy and the follow-up from Chuck was great and his instructions/ directions were clear and easy to follow. The check-in process was easy and simple - open the lock box and open the door. The view from the condo is fantastic - A MILLION DOLLAR VIEW. The condo suited our needs perfectly and we found many little unexpected extras in the well equipped and appointed condo. It is also in a great location. We didn't realize until we got there how centrally located the condo was to most everything - within walking distance to beaches, parks, restaurants, shopping and even central Waikiki beach. On the street level of the condo building, there are four (4) restaurants, Outback Steakhouse, The Chart House, Red Lobster and the Harbor Pub & Pizza. Across the street was a McDonald's and a ABC Store for basic groceries and sundry items. We saved a lot of money making use of the well equipped kitchen and we had a priceless view for every meal that many restaurants do not have. We were told about the parking cost ($17/day) since we had a rental car but we were always able to find a spot close to the elevators and with our parking pass, coming and going was very easy and convenient. There is even a security guard on site. We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed our condo. We highly recommend Ilikai Marina Condo 1480, Aloha Condos and Chuck Buser. Mahalo ”

“ Condo 1480 at the Ilikai Marina complex was fantastic! The views were priceless and the amenities were wonderful. Everything was close by to make our stay comfortable. The ABC store was across the street for groceries as well as a MacDonald's The Charthouse on the first floor was an unexpected surprise and their bar and "puu puus" specials nightly were super reasonable and a great way of eating out without breaking the bank. It was a five minute walk to the beach and the beautiful lagoon is great for kids. On the other side is Ala Moana beach park and there was a fair going on when we arrived. The Ala Moana shopping mall is probably more convenient getting there by bus or car, it is 3 very long blocks away. We will definetly return for a longer stay! ”

“ It is always hard to find a place to stay that is as good as the place you are visiting, but the Ilikai Marina Condo 1480 really matched up. It was a wonderful place to to call home while enjoying the amazing island of Oahu. It was clean, comfortable, and the view really does make you feel like you are someone important. The beach tote was a really nice unexpected gift and was used throughout our entire travels amongst the islands. It was these types of details that will make me remember how great my trip was. I will definatly tell anyone going to Oahu to check out this condo first. Mahalo! ”

“ The Condo was perfect for a small family. Parents get a little privacy and kids can sleep on the couch/floor. You overlook Alawai harbor and there is very little street noise. Parking was relatively cheap and the garage connects to the condos. Great place--great vacation! ”

“ We loved this condo, it suited our needs perfectly. It was clean and well equipped. The view was fantastic. It was an easy walk down to a quiet beach which was perfect for our 2 young children. Also close to the fireworks on Friday night which the kids loved. Chuck at Aloha Condos was lovely to deal with. We were relieved and very pleased that the information and pictures on the internet were accurate. I would book with Aloha Condos again and also recommend them to others. ”

“ This was our first visit to Hawaii and we wanted to make it a memorable vacation by staying in a very nice condo. The photos on the internet looked fantastic...when we opened the door to the condo, it was as exactly as it was pictured. Our expectations were exceeded by the little items that were available to us...ice chest, beach umbrella, golf clubs, Hawaii books, etc. Close proximity to the beach with phenomenal sunsets...we will be going back! ”

“ This was our 3rd visit to Honolulu having previously stayed at the Hilton Resorts. We wanted a place more spacious and with a kitchen. Ilikai Marina was perfect. It has the best view of the ocean and the marina. It was cleaned, well equiped and tastefully furnished. The location was perfect as well within a few minutes walk to various beaches, parks, shops, restaurants and tourist attractions and yet quiet and peaceful at night. Our one suggestion for the owner would be to include parking. Our only complain was we could not stay forever. ”

“ this is our first time in waikiki beach and the condo is in a great location, close to the beach and shopping. the place is modern, clean and comfortable, it has everything we needed and the view of the ocean and the marina is great. we did have a few issues with the place, first the air condition was shut off due to the building is fixing the central air the whole week so it was hot for our entire stay (the owner should have told us before we go, it was a big surprise when we got there), it was so hot that we have hard time to sleep even with the fan on. also the sofa bed was very uncomfortable, one corner was sliding downward so we can't use it, my daughter just put the cusions on the floor to sleep. lastly, the street noise was very loud, maybe it's because we had to open the windows since the air condition was not working, but never the less, the unit is close to main traffic so we can always hear something. Overall, the place is nice, if the air conditioning was working, then our experience would be much nicer. ”
