I don't want to give this place 5 stars, because some might consider my review as the facility…read moreitself is a 5 star accommodation. This is a perfect place to stay for a couple or young family that wants to spend their money on activities on Oahu. We stayed in a one bedroom and one bath with kitchen and a washer & dryer. There was a roll away single bed in the closet and a couch that converts into a double bed. I'm not sure their rules, but you could accommodate 5 people (but you would have to be pretty good friends. We were on the 19th floor with a nice Mountain View. There were two A/C units, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. There is a basic rooftop pool, or you can walk three blocks to one of the worlds most famous beaches. It is less than a block from the Kuhio Street entrance of the International Market Place. Yes, we did have to check in with the security guard; but he was very helpful. He helped get us an assigned parking spot. We would definitely stay here again. You can't beat the price, since parking is free and every other hotel charges you $35 a day. Hawaii is NOT about spending time in your room, so this place is a perfect place to make breakfast and get out & about early. At the end of a long day, come home to get cleaned up and do a load of laundry (if required) or start your pub crawl. Check in is at 3 pm and check out is at noon.

We booked condo number 1003 and I posted the walk through of the condo on Youtube…read more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGHdRukjGN8 I did not include the bathroom in the walkthrough but it was nicely done with two sinks, bathtub w/ shower, toilet and a washer and dryer. The first thing you notice about the building is it's not in the "resort" part of Waikiki and there is trash on all the sidewalks. It is located just up from the major resorts and there are lot of more run down condo building immediately surrounding it. We did get to watch the Honolulu Police investigating a attempting break in at the building across from us which was interesting. The front lobby is being renovated and the main doors were locked and you could not enter with or without a key fob (May 2016). There is no "greeter" or personnel who work in the lobby or anywhere else you can check in with. It is up to you to fing the key for your condo and figure out how to get in and where to park. In the parking garage is all the old items they are pulling out of condos so there is plenty of parking and lots of old stoves, sofas, etc. Security for the building seemed fine. You needed a key fob to use the elevator and to get into the building. The one way around that is to simply walk in the outbound side of the parking garage as it is wide open. So don't let the "secure" garage fool you and leave your vehicle open. Our condo was supplied fine and fairly clean. We realized their cleaning service did not bother to clean under the bed or dressers and I found a lot of left behind items and sand under there when I looked. The views to the North East were fine and of the mountains and golf course. To the direct East and the South East it was a view of other buildings. My biggest complaint would be the daily garbage truck at 6am. The condos windows and walls do not block out many sounds and we were woken up each morning by the garbage trucks engine, beeper, picking up and dropping the garbage bins from the building across from us. The fire department is also just up the road and every few hours there would be an ambulance or fire truck running with its lights and sirens going down the street next to the condo. Unit had fully functional kitchen and washer and dryer which was nice. I did notice the dryer vented directly back into the bathroom so the temperature rose in the entire condo and especially the bathroom quite a bit when you did a load of laundry. The location is walking distance to the shopping and hustle and bustle of Waikiki and that is the only way I would recommend going out if your destination is within a mile or so. Parking is so incredible hard to find it can take half an hour or driving around trying to find somewhere to fit your car into. Contrary to what we were told the locals and others in the area are not on "island time" and seemed to be in a very big hurry to get where ever they were going so being cut off in traffic is a very common occurrence. We did not try public transport but there seemed to be a lot of buses and tour vans around the area. The highlight of the building is definitely the rooftop pool and BBQ area. There are several BBQ's which are hardlined into the buildings gas supply so you can cook up dinner on the roof. The view from the roof is great with 360 views from the beach to the mountains. Building is non smoking but I am not sure if that applies to the roof as there were tenants on the roof smoking cigarettes and one person smoking marijuana while relaxing in a chair. Overall this location was too busy and too much "hustle and bustle" in the area for our liking. The condo itself was clean, nicely sized, and very adequate if you like the busy atmosphere of a very urban environment. Next trip we not be going to Oahu and will go to Maui instead.

This Bed and Breakfast is amazing! It's right next to the beach (which my daughter loved),…read morewonderful hospitality, and the place is in great shape and is very clean! The big unit has a full kitchen with a dining room table, full fridge, a stove, and an oven. It has a washer and dryer, multiple beds, a TV, a huge couch, and a love seat. The big unit is very spaces, with a parking stool. If you want to park in the parking stool you need to go done the drive way which is narrow, or you can park on the road, which is really safe! The small unit has a queen or king size bed, a mini kitchen, no oven, microwave etc. It has a full size bathroom, and it accessible. I would say the small unit is for two people, ike a couple or a small family with one child. I would 100% come again! You should definitely stay here!

First off, this is more a vacation rental. This was our first trip out to Hawaii and we were…read morelooking for something on the Windward side of Oahu. I found this place while searching for bed and breakfast establishments. **Note to readers** Make sure to check for only registered lodgings, Hawaii is having issues with unregistered establishments. Checking for availability was a simple e-mail inquiry, though I could have called as well. Response was prompt and concise. Reserved room through e-mail and called to give them the credit card info. There are two units, both sectioned off from the house with private bathrooms, one with more space and a kitchen. We chose the smaller unit which was cheaper, only $75 a night for the end of January. The place is two blocks from the beach and there are two beach access points nearby. I was nervous, given the low price and my unfamiliarity with Kailua. All my fears were gone the minute I saw the place. A large bed, a private bathroom, a mini-fridge, microwave and toaster oven. Even a television with cable and room for our stuff. While not top of the line, the room was everything I expected. Barbara and her husband were gracious hosts. We had immediate answers to any questions and a nice patio with a pool at our disposal. Bottom line: if you want a nice, simple starting point for your daily excursions, check into Auntie Barbara's now. For the price and amenities offered it can't be beat. It missed four stars for only one reason: parking. The house is set back from the road down a narrow driveway flanked by a concrete wall and a fence. Parking next to the house and getting back out is a nightmare. Thankfully we were able to utilize street parking and walked down the driveway to our unit after the first day.

I spent several days trying to arrange a showing for Hokulani Apartments #307 and never got a confirmed appointment or a return call, dignity or professionalism. 1120 Hassinger St., Honolulu, HI 96822, MLS 202617983, unit tax ID 1-2-4-019-023-0027; the state condo record gives the building TMK as 1-2-4-019-023. The public listing names Camille Naluai-Rios and says it was listed by Faith Naluai, LLC. I asked to see a one-bedroom apartment. After five days, repeated messages, two phone attempts, and a promised callback, I still had no showing. What stayed with me was how the process felt after I explained why phone-only scheduling was difficult (99% of people and firms on zillow USE THE SCHEDULE BUTTON and chat to set appointments and prequalify, why couldn't this firm extend that to me, a disabled person? I contacted the Zillow listing on Thursday, October 15, asking how to apply. On Monday, the account labeled "Property Manager" told me to call the office, stated a 650 minimum credit score, and said all applicants had to view the unit in person before applying. Just a dry message with not even the right punctuation. When I asked on Tuesday when I could see it, as I had been trying to do for nearly a week, i received the same bland instruction to call. The messages were terse and repetitive. They did not answer my disability accomodation scheduling question or offer a time. That was especially frustrating because the brokerage's public listing displayed both a virtual-tour option and an online appointment link for this unit! The virtual-tour option I tried did not work for me. No one in the Zillow exchange directed me to the appointment link. I am disabled, partially deaf, and travel using Handi-Van. A delayed ride and a noisy bus made a phone call difficult that morning. One would think a simple scheduling wouldn't add even more difficulty. In the Zillow conversation, I disclosed my disability and Handi-Van situation and asked to arrange the showing in writing as an accommodation. I was willing to view the apartment in person. I was asking for a workable way to schedule it. I received no answer to that request, it was ignored. I did call. The first call went to voicemail, but I could not leave a message. When I later reached someone, he did not give me his name, could not say when the unit could be shown, and said he would get back to me without taking my name or number. I called him on this and it was like he was half asleep, he said "oh.. yeah.. I should take your number ans name and give to faith" Since I was already on the way to town, I even offered to stop by; he declined. I explained to him the challenges of trying to see this unit, he didnt offer care of compassion, and I again received no callback. On October 20, I emailed Faith Naluai to ask the company to review the exchange, the phone experience, and the virtual-tour option. As of this review, I have received no response to that email. The listing names Camille Naluai-Rios as its contact and Faith Naluai, LLC as the brokerage. The company identifies Faith as principal broker and Camille as broker-in-charge. I do not know who wrote the Zillow replies or answered my call, and I am not attributing those exchanges to either person personally. I do expect a brokerage's leadership to make sure a prospective renter can get a clear answer and that a promised callback has a way to happen. The company's website speaks of "patience & professionalism" and "service with aloha." That gave me a laugh, as every business who wants your money in Hawai'i says this, mot all can live uo to it. Aloha is a BIG word that shoukd be lived. My experience fell painfully short of those words. I cannot determine anyone's motive or declare a legal violation from this exchange. I can say that I explained a disability-related communication barrier, tried the route I was given, and left without a showing or a response to my request. Maya Angelou's words about how people "will never forget how you made them feel" fit this experience. I felt brushed aside at the very point where a little care and basic follow-through would have mattered most. Property owners abd tenants alike, considering this firm, should ask how it treats others, handles written showing requests, accessibility concerns, unanswered calls, and promised follow-ups. I have closed my inquiry and will not pursue other listings through this brokerage, ever again.
