*Remodeled Oceanfront in Waikiki - Ilikai Marina
great place, gréât location, great host, highly recommend! 👍🏽🙏🏽

1 BR Apt In Waikiki with Canal & Mountain View
Tommy's Airbnb was clean, spacious, comfortable and in a great location. Timmy was very responsive when we reached out to him with questions. My family and I enjoyed our stay.

Ocean views at the Ilikai - Free Parking!
This was the perfect spot for a visit to Honolulu. We were mixing business and pleasure - a conference at the Hawaii Convention Center, as well as some touring around the island - and Elina's place was a wonderful launching point for both. It is a short walk from the convention center, but also conveniently located for Waikiki, Diamond Head, and other local attractions. The combination of kitchen and parking space was very helpful indeed. Elina's recommendations for restaurants and activities were right on. She also answered questions very quickly. All in all, a terrific place to stay.

BEST Location, Ocean Views and Parking!
Good location, walkable to Ala Moana Shopping Center and other restaurants/stores. Both elevators were working when we arrived so that helped allay some concerns posted by previous guests. The apartment was well-stocked, smaller than I expected (I would not recommend the space for more than 2 adults) but adequate for a stay where we were out and about most of the day. In-room washer/dryer was the gamechanger and really helped not having to go to the common area especially since the elevators could be slow. Pool and hot tub were a little small and not very aesthetically-pleasing (they were located on the ground floor, not many chairs, but serviceable if you had kids who wanted to play). Lots of instructions to get in which was fine. The door code locks you out after 3 wrong entries which seems a little restrictive but we managed. Overall nice touched with the chocolates, kitchen had everything we needed for a short stay, and it was a good experience.

Waikiki 5-Star Marina Stay – Ocean View 1BR
This place is conveniently located in the Ala Moana area and offers beautiful views of the ocean with shops just a quick walk away. We had an excellent stay here!

Ocean views at Ilikai Marina - Parking included!
Amazing view. Amazing location. And Elina the host was so responsive and made sure the stay was excellent. I will be back! 🤙🏽🌺

Modern Marina Retreat - Fully Licensed
My partner and I loved our stay here in Honolulu! Kelly was proactive and responded to any question we had within minutes! The space was clean and welcoming and we utilized the amenities she had provided such as beach gear and coolers. Overall great host and great place! Would definitely recommend and book again!

1Bd1Bath | FREE Parking | 1 block to Kuhio Beach
We loved staying at Andrew’s airbnb. He was a great host and responded to us quickly and kindly making us feel welcome. The home felt comfortable, clean and modern and had a great kitchen set up making it feel homely. It was easy walking distance to the beach (and the beach trolley, chairs and umbrella were very handy). Many shops and restaurants all easily walking distance too. Would recommend Andrew’s home and would stay again.

Waimea Bay Studio 1BD With Sauna - NS Oahu
We had the best time here. So close to Waimea Bay which became our fav beach, it was less than a 10 min walk! Absolutely wonderful place to stay, also very kind and helpful host!

One of a kind Beach front 2brm ocean and mnt views
Great location with incredible scenery. It's a very quiet and private area. I would recommend staying here if you're looking to be away from the busyness of the city.

Beautiful Lagoon Tower by Hilton- 2bd villa
The location of this place was amazing. As a family we have always stayed further down closer to the zoo but this location really does have it all. The beaches are amazing, everything is still easily within walking distance and the Hilton property really does have it all. The suite we stayed in was clean, great AC and lots of space for a family of 4. The kitchen could use a few more items to cook with. We went over Christmas and tried to eat in a bit more than usual and had to be VERY creative with our cooking because of what the kitchen had to offer. We throughly enjoyed our stay and you know it’s been a great vacation when you’re sad to leave!

Hale Mahina Beach House
Nice beach house. Little busier road than expected to get to the beach, but liked the access to the nice beach and easy access to local attractions.

LAST MIN Lagoon Tower by Hilton- 2 bedroom Aloha
Hilton Village is easy. Has everything you could need or want so you don’t spend time driving all over in Honolulu traffic! We wanted to arrive and park it! This place allowed us to do just that!!

Your Zen Haven
Arlee’s listing, nestled in the Ko’Olina Hillside Villas community was a perfect fit for our family of four adults (parents, daughter, and son-in-law).. The two bedroom and two and one half bath layout worked very well for us.. The kitchen was amply supplied with a variety of pots, pans, dishes, flatware, and cooking utensils.. Coffee was courtesy of a Kuerig and a few provided K-Cups and condiments.. After a trip to the local Safeway ($$$) and subsequent trips to Target ($$) we used the kitchen as much as we needed to, preparing breakfast nearly daily, and morning coffee always!! The property is within walking distance (for those so inclined) to the nearby Ko’Olina Resort complex (Marriott & Disney), the Ko’Olina Golf Course, and several restaurants and shops.. The area is also in the flight path for the international airport, so frequent plane spotting was a bonus.. All in all, aside from a few improvements we recommended via the messaging feature, we had an outstanding stay!!

Partial OceanView/STEPS FROM BEACH/FreePark/1504
Perfect stay and location! Everything was exactly as described and check in instructions were extremely detailed and perfect. Host was responsive. Also having designated parking was incredible and easy.

Oceanfront Waikiki Condo, Ilikai Marina (sleeps 4)
Really nice unit facing the harbor and looks just like the photos. Great home office set up to work remotely with nice views. Fully stocked kitchen made cooking at home easy, but there are no bath essentials so you'll need to get those yourself. So far all of the street/harbor side units we've stayed at this condominium get a lot of outside noise, so be sure to bring ear plugs if that bothers you. Unit was spotless, which I'm very sensitive to. Never had an issue parking in the $1/hr harbor lots (beware, I did see cars getting towed), or you can try snagging the free spots a little further down. It's our new favorite unit at the Ilikai Marina Condos.

Luxury Oceanfront Waikiki Beach Tower w Ocean View
We loved this place! Tucked inside a late-'70s/early-'80s high-rise, it’s easy to overlook—but once you’re in, it’s clear you’ve found something truly special. Even with our late arrival, the friendly doorman set a warm tone. The unit itself was beautifully updated, with sleek finishes, modern appliances, and designer touches throughout—not to mention a breathtaking view. Waikiki can be crowded and slightly chaotic, but this space was the perfect retreat: quiet, comfortable, and effortlessly stylish. If you want front-row access to Waikiki without getting caught in the fray, this place nails it.

Penthouse 38th FL, Diamond Head View, Free Parking
Great location. About 7-8min walk to beach. The hosts were excellent and very communicative. The apartment was very comfortable and very clean. Very easy to get in and out. The apartment is a bit pricey for not being beachfront or not having an ocean view. Not a lot of benefit for being on the top floor if only getting a city view.

*Serendipity on the Moana! - Legal & Beachfront!*
The place was absolutely incredible. From sunrises and sunsets, Charmaine's place has everything you could ask for in a Hawaiian vacation spot. All the amenities makes it feel like home and the area lets you experience Hawaii with out the hustle and bustle of the city.

25thFl Ocean View 1blk to Waikiki Beach King Condo
Great location in Waikiki, and you can see the ocean from the balcony. We enjoyed the pool and sauna every day, highly recommend!

LEGAL VACATION RENTAL!! CLEAN WAIKIKI GRAND STUDIO
I stayed here for 2 weeks by myself. The place was perfect! Very walkable and close to everything you would need. Tiare was very responsive and kind. I would definitely recommend this place and would happily stay here again. 😊

Luxury Ocean Front W/Private Beach, Pool, & HotTub
The view was stunning! I loved sleeping at night and just hearing the ocean😍 I enjoyed my stay and felt like I was home. I will 100% stay again. The host was responsive and friendly. Thank you for letting me stay.
