*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.

Kaimana Luxury Suite
We considered Dre's place a home away from home! It was very comfortable, had all the amenities we needed- and then some! Dre thought of everything to welcome us, and we so appreciated it. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was great to cook in, the lanai was such a relaxing place to sit and watch the sunrise- we loved it all. When we come back, we'll definitely try to stay here again! Thanks, Dre!!

THE 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.

Seabreeze Studio (Legal Rental)
Angie listing advertises a studio space that you can expect to see when you arrive. Aside from certain decor for listing photos, all of the amenities stated are present. Check-in was flexible - they made sure we would be able to check in earlier than they anticipated to accommodate our early flight in. The shower was very strong when we had first used it (like spraying hail) but the pressure had eventually reduced to a more tolerable pressure on its own on the second use. Elevator availability was a negative we experienced but out of Angie's control and a minor inconvenience. Location was great - a brief walk's distance to Waikiki. Parking at the building has changed to $33/night with their 1-5 overnight passes being made available. Local recommendations were given - definitely ask Angie about it in case you want to squeeze some recommendations into your itinerary. 10/10 for our purpose of a week in Honolulu, I would recommend to anyone looking for a place in Waikiki. Thanks Angie!

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!

King Bed Luxury Beach Studio Heart of Waikiki
Exactly what we wanted. Center location to the strip off Waikiki beach, near restaurants, shopping areas etc. Carren was super helpful with all our questions and the apartment was perfectly cozy. kitchen was stocked with essentials. we live the pool and hot tub! Friendly neighbors.
Waterfront house rentals

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!!
Waterfront condo rentals

Charming Waikiki Condo (Ilikai Marina)
Alex is a great host and his condo is comfortable, clean and close to everything. Lovely location. He couldn't have been more helpful to us. I would definitely recommend it to any friends who might want to go to Honolulu.

🏝 Ilikai Condo Waikiki Beach Ocean Views
This Airbnb on the 13th floor was beautiful✨️modern, super clean, and perfect for our stay. 🚙It didn’t include parking, but we found $1/hour street parking nearby which worked out fine. 🍴The kitchen was awesome and made it easy to prep snacks and quick meals for the kids after a swim or late night. 👌The apartment felt fresh and well looked after, with everything we needed. Great location with easy access to shops, the lagoon, and the Ilikai amenities. As a whānau travelling with kids, it gave us a peaceful and comfortable base. We’d definitely stay here again. Ngā mihi nui for having us—mauri ora! 🌊🌺

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.

Secluded White Sandy beach just 30 steps away
Emmanuel is an attentive and gracious host. His condo is on a gorgeous and secluded beach area. We loved sitting on the lanai and listening to the ocean in the morning and evening. We also loved the quiet atmosphere of the condo community, with very friendly neighbors. This condo makes the perfect base for exploring North Shore area beaches and food markets, while coming home to peaceful spot.

Waikiki Condo-1.5 Blocks to the beach.Pool+hot tub
Melanie’s place was everything I’d hoped for and more. I liked the boutique nature of the place. The unit was well appointed and we did not lack for anything. Please make sure you pay attention to the information she sends about the parking in Waikīkī. I was oblivious about the premium parking but it worked out ok. Next time I will probably take an Uber from the airport and use the bus service as it was inexpensive and reliable.

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. 😊

Fantastic ocean view Beachfront Beach Villas B-806
The place was very nice. It was very secure. The surrounding area was very nice. A lot of restaurants and supermarkets were near. And also like designated a Disney resort right there Jabulani
