Well it doesn't get much better than this! From the moment I requested a condo (1116) to the time we left everything went flawlessly. They have a great system worked out for contactless check-in and check-out. They always answered my emails within a business day and were more than happy to answer any questions I had. As far as the room Condo 1116 was EXACTLY as shown in the photos, everything was updated and working well. The kitchen was well supplied with every utensil and knife needed. The bed and pillows were comfy and gave us a good nights rest. The view, well it's amazing! I have nothing bad to report on this company or room we stayed in. Book it now! Thanks again Marc and Lisa! read more

Stayed in unit 1925 at the Ilikai. Pictures of the unit were deceiving as the furniture is crap, the street noise is significant and the ac unit in the primary bedroom leaks like a faucet is on. This unit needs some attention - 3 adults, sharing two bedrooms slept horribly, waking up with aches and pains each morning from the uncomfortable mattresses and very flat pillows. The couch needs to be replaced with something a bit higher quality as the one in the unit sags significantly and the cushions slide off the couch. The furniture looks to be from the 90's and has chips and knicks everywhere. The ilikai is an older building so the windows leave a lot to be desired. Even on the 19th floor, there was a lot of street noise - loud exhausts, clanging of bells from the trolleys, people screaming, sirens, horns... you name it. The Hilton Hawaiian next door is FAR nicer with much better amenities and worth the extra money. The read more

Everything was perfect. From making the reservation to auto check in on a Sunday to all the amenities in the condo, it was all perfect! And the view?? Words can't describe how beautiful and amazing that was. It was a perfect seat for Friday fireworks with no crowd. The sunset was beautiful just to the right of the lanai and the full moon over the ocean in super early morning hours was breathtaking. Yes it's an older condo in comparison to a lot of the hotels but it was still the perfect place to stay with the family. The full kitchen and washer and dryer was a huge plus for us. We will definitely stay here again when we visit this island read more

Marina Hawaii Vacations - View from the lanai - Vacation Rentals Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We stayed in room 1228 at the Ilikai Hotel and they were not kidding about the view. The room overlooks the lagoon and you get a fantastic view of the Friday night firework show at the Hilton. So many restaurants nearby but the best was Cinnamons in the hotel. The pools were clean and the staff was super friendly. Having a room with a fully furnished kitchen is a total game-changer. We saved so much by being able to cook breakfast and pack lunch/snacks for the beach. Speaking of saving money, booking directly through Marina Hawaii Vacations saves you tons. You don't get all the crazy fees with Air B&B-style rentals. We will definitely be returning customers. read more

This Company asked for my review but didn't post it on their direct web site. Probably cause I provide my honest opinion. We stayed on a third floor corner unit for 9 days. Great location and views but that's about it. Noisy unit - u can hear everything and the old broken blinds certainly didn't block out noise or lights. Old dated furniture from the 1970's. Bring your own toiletries and TP cause they only provide one roll and one tiny bar of soap. 4 towel sets for 4 people for 9 days. You either pay extra for house keeping or do your own laundry. Kitchen had more odd pot lids than pans. Lack of utensils - two spoons and a few forks and knives. Mismatch plates and bowls. The AC works but it's loud. They provided no bed covers and 4 dirty old mismatch blankets for 4 people. I had to wash them immediately cause it was gross! The bathroom hallway light switch flickers and needs to be fixed. The bathroom floor needed to be wiped clean. They placed a plunger next to the toilet, which luckily we didn't need to use. The wifi worked at least. Furniture so old that even a thrift store doesn't want it. I think the king size bed was the only piece of fairly new furniture in the unit. Provided with 4 delated pillows as flat as a pancake. Parking is 23.00 per day and very close to the unit. Laundry room open only from 6am to 10pm. Gets locked exactly at 10pm so my wet clothes were locked inside. At least the friendly night guard was kind enough to open the door for me to get my clothes. My vacation consist of laundry, buying supplies (no beach towels and it only comes with starter kit of one tiny bar of soap, tp, etc). Our view from the unit windows consist of a homeless person who camped on the sidewalk all week. A fishing tour boat leaves every morning at 8am. There are people who go through the trash cans looking for recycle goods right across the unit each day. The unit is above Chart house so you can hear all the outside noise at night. Sadly this unit need a major facelift- it has so much potential. One redeeming factor- saw the Friday nite fireworks over the harbor lagoon from our bird covered pooped lanai. Bird poop on the rails and floors. If you advertise beautiful views from the lanai - at least wash down the lanai - it needs to be swept and hosed down. Stay here at your own risk!! read more

Shout out to Sabrina and Kelli for their assistance in making reservations for a trip to Waikiki Beach! It was my first time booking a rental online, but they were very communicative and made it easy, and I appreciate that very much! Thank you! read more

The apartment was neat mostly clean except the edge of the light switches lined with dirt a floor lamp is needed in the bedroom area. If there is a dishwasher, we would be more comfortable with the hygiene n cleanliness of the ceramics in-house The customer service of MHV staff are professional, efficient and courteous. salute to Maki-San. Overall is fairly good read more

The location was perfect. I can't complain about that. It was a couple minute walk right to the beach. And 10 minute walk to the Ala Moana Mall. It seemed like a very, very safe area. I didn't at all feel uncomfortable. It's such a short drive to the waikiki beach and shopping street area. I was happy about that, and it's not at all far from the Airport. I know that every apartment is different but we stayed on the 10th floor and everything was so out-dated. The bed they had was very comfortable. And the sofa bed was terrible to lay on. Luckily the room was right beside the garbage shoot because that's a far walk from one end to the other. This place doesn't have a pool. Not exactly aure what security was for because anyone could walk in and out of this place easily. The balcony that we had had the view of the ship docks, which was beautiful because the sunset right ahead of that. The room that we had had all working utilities, but both broken beach chairs and boogie boards. I would find elsewhere to stay at next time. The hilton is right beside us and it wasn't THAT much more than what we paid. read more

I want to thank Kelli Yamauchi for helping us out in our needs. We rented 2 units both units at a good price, the units were very clean, the kitchen had all the hardware that you would normally have in your home, internet was good, washer and dryer in the unite, the balcony view to the marina and Ala Moana was killer, parking stall included. Overall it was a very good experience renting from Marina Hawaii Vacations i would definitely recommend them for short or long stays in Waikiki, ask for Kelli! Mahalo Kelli! read more

We were in 1340. Everything was good, including new furniture since we booked. Full kitchen well supplied. Adequate bath. Large lanai with comfortable seating for 4. Great view including front row seat to the Friday night firewarks at the Hilton. A bit noisy but no fault of the unit itself, mostly just busy street below and kids in the Hilton Pool. Ilikai had a variety of eating options. We did not try Cinnamon's but had a really wonderful breakfast at Pesca's at the top. A little mini mart in the lobby very helpful. Lots of other eating and grocery options within walking distance. The pool was heated but felt great early in the morning and not crowded. We stayed at the Ilikai because we didn't want to rent a car. Did fine with the trolley, bus or just walking. Other than the noise (we usually go to the other islands which are not in city settings) it was a good experience. read more

Great Host. Place was what it said it was. Lovely views. Clean. Host provided lots of tips including where to get groceries as well as responded asap when we had a question or two. Checkin seamless. Clean. Oh! Tons of pots and pans. read more

Horrible property management! The unit that they managed has flooded our unit multiple times and then did not take responsibility nor even offer an apology. Condescending and arrogant. Had to get insurance company involved! read more

Marina Hawaii Vacations - Vacation Rentals Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Love staying at their condos at the Ilikai. They are fully stocked with everything that you need. Very clean. Ever any problems. You won't be disappointed in any of their properties. read more

We stayed 7 nights in Room/Studio 1837. The room was nicely decorated in contemporary style, clean, etc. The view was great and the overall facility was just right for us - not trendy or pretentious, friendly staff and amenities. Good location for getting around in Honolulu if you don't want the challenges of Waikiki hubbub. Marina Hawaii Vacations reservation process and subsequent follow through during our stay was great. We dealt primarily with Sabrina Hsu who was available from our arrival through departure if we had questions or needs. She is very professional and exemplifies the Aloha Spirit. We would definitely recommend Marina Hawaii Vacaions and Sabrina Hsu to anyone looking for a great and reasonably priced accommodation in Waikiki. Mahalo! read more

I booked condo through Booking.com and didn't realize it was managed by Marina Hawaii Vacations. I arrived on July 4th holiday so office wasn't open but detailed instructions were provided ahead of time regarding check in. Only small complaint was that Booking.com reservation indicated check-in at 2pm but check-in actually wasn't until 4pm and they could not accommodate early check in or late check out because they had guests in room before and after my dates. Check out time is at 11:00 AM which is earlier than most hotels checkout time 12. Keypad eased check in and coming/going and exit process. I never actually had to visit office or meet with anyone in person and the key pad made it easy so we didn't have to deal with keys or key cards. read more

Loved the Ilikai. Working with Marina Hawaii Vacations makes everything so easy!! Two nights of free entertainment (Friday and Sunday) on the central courtyard. Very historic and old Hawaiian feel of the facility. Really convenient to have a full kitchen condo and still all the amenities of a hotel, the bonus of a restaurant, coffee shop and ice cream parlor in the lobby!! Great View, from our condo 618, fireworks from the balcony on Friday night and view of the ocean and pools. Great Value. Very comfortable condo. Kitchen a little bit dated, but reflected in the price of the rental for an ocean front condo. Lots of walkable options, small grocery store two blocks away. Perfect vacation spot for the two of us. read more

Very expensive, malodorous, outdated decor, poor directions for parking. The entire experience will ensure I do not use this type of accommodations again. read more

Love our stay there! Marina vacation is very responsive and accommodating to all our requests! Would recommend to anyone who wants to visit Hawaii. read more

I wish I could give it a zero! it was falsely advertise. on the listing there were beautiful pics of pools and beach close by and stores, verandas and beautiful accommodation. Those pictures came from the Ilikai HOTEL two buildings away and guests at the Marina are not allowed to use them. so why are they on the listing? what you get is a building that doesn't even have a lobby and an outdated unit that is not well maintained. our experience was terrible! read more

We had a fantastic time out there. The month went by fast and nothing would beat the view!

This was my second stay at the Ilikai in 6 months and I'm already thinking about my next visit. Marina Hawaii Vacations provided all the information I needed to plan and live comfortably in the apartment and my visit couldn't have gone smoother. The Ilikai is a first class facility and excellent home base for visiting everything Oahu has to offer - beaches, restaurants, recreation, shopping, public transportation, etc. The contactless check in and out was convenient and efficient. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped with towels, blankets, kitchen appliances (coffee maker, toaster, blender, water kettle, etc.). The view of the yacht harbor and beyond from the large lanai was peaceful and the beach chairs and boogie boards came in handy. The air conditioning worked great and was very, very quiet. The only suggestions I have is a menu for tv channels would be helpful and maybe a few updated cooking utensils like a silicone spatula and tongs would be nice. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, the apartment was a great value and I highly recommend the apartment an Marina Hawaii Vacations. Mahalo nui loa! read more

The location is great, perfect for my son and husband having an afternoon surf (off the Marina) and easy access to Ala Moana and a 15 minute pleasant walk to Waikiki. However, the room we stayed in this year (1918) was very dirty upon arrival and the bed was the worst I've ever slept in - it had no springs or support at all. We stayed in another room last year that had nice little added bonuses, like beach chairs, more than one beach towel, better equipped kitchen. It was on the side facing the Hilton, which was great because we could see the Luau and a lovely view of beaches and pools plus a decent view of Friday night fireworks. I would 100% stay in the Ilikai again (we liked the location so much, this is the second time we have stayed there). But would not stay in that room again until they update it. read more

We had an excellent stay with Marina Vacations. We stayed in unit 718 and couldn't have been happier. The unit was clean and decorated beautifully. The view was amazing. The condo was well stocked with essentials...extra towels, toilet paper, toiletries, dish soap and even teas. We paid much less then what we would have paid at a hotel for the same view and location. We were able to park our car on the street for $1/hour which worked out well since we only paid for the times we were there. I loved our stay here and can't wait to come back. Check in and check out was a breeze read more

What a awesome find. Beautifully decorated. Lots of resources on property. Extremely clean. Wonderful staff eager to accommodate . Our son just moved to Honolulu as he is a student at HPU and this unit had a full kitchen that allowed us to have him and 2 other roommates over for dinner. A definite future stay got us. Again a awesome find. read more

We liked the location of the hotel as I was participating in the Honolulu Triathlon. However, the unit has some issues. A lot of deferred maintenance. The lanai sliding doors you have to wrestle with to open and close; the Lanai was very dirty; it took me a while to figure out the AC and how it worked and then it was very noisy sounding like it is on its last leg; the shower floor and lower walls of shower very dirty; no supplies at all in the kitchen; the frig temp was set so low before we realized that we needed to turn it up to actually keep things cold; the location of the unit in the building is such that we could not keep the lanai drapes open at night or anytime we were in bed, as the units across could look right into our bed area. Again, we liked the general location but the unit itself is not that great and the posted pictures make it look a lot nicer and bigger than it is. read more

Pictures don't do it justice. We rented three units for our family (one on the 19th floor, 18th floor and one on the 6th). Spread out a bit b/c each family had a different budget but every unit was amazing in a different way. 1919 was updated and so incredibly cute. City views at night time were beautiful. Also a built in desk area which is great since we are working from home. 1844 is a 2 bedroom unit with lagoon and marina views. The photos make the unit look more outdated that it is. There is plenty of storage, 2 large lanais and very comfortable seating. 633 is another unit that the photos don't do it justice. It feels very spacious and the counter seating allowed us to take turns having dinner or appetizer from different units. Also amazing Marina view and sunsets. All 3 units had fully equipped kitchens. There really is no other location like the Ilikai. The convenience is unbelievable with Ala Moana being a short walk, few minutes to Dukes Lagoon for the little kids and a nice walk down to Canoes beach to watch the big kids surf. Knowing Waikiki hotels very well, the size and views of what we got for what we paid is way undervalued in comparison (which is hard to do since these are the largest units out there but if you compare to the hotel rates, its about half the price). Marina Hawaii Vacations (specifically Kelli) was so incredibly helpful in arranging our dates and finding us the best units in our budget. We wouldn't have been able to make this trip possible without that personalization. We will definitely book again. read more

I have stayed at the Ilikai several times and always enjoyed it...this time not so much. My suite was tiny, mainly due to poor layout. The bathroom was verging on disgusting (discoloured tiles, soap scum, etc.) and in dire need of updating. The air conditioner worked, but was so rusted out I hesitated using it. The unit had a washer-dryer which was an asset (I thought) but it didn't work. I was as weary of my whining as the staff of MHV were by the time I left. The manager, Kevin, gave me. a free late checkout, which was truly appreciated. However, the key cards didn't work, so I had to get security to let me in whenever I left the unit. I do love the location, close to shopping, restaurants and the beach, but I will be a lot more discerning the next time I go. I will definitely check reviews carefully read more

I recommend this place for anyone heading to Honolulu and looking for a good price. The location was perfect - about a 30 minute walk to the main Waikiki beach. Tons of restaurants were close to the area as well. As for the room, when we first arrived there were some discrepancies with our condo. However, as soon as I called the matter was attended to. I was very pleased with the service given to us. Highly recommend all families to stay here. read more

It had a nice view from 812, was there for two days and then to 613...a nice room...some issues with the furnishings (dishes) but overall it was a nice location. What made it really nice was one of office representatives' nice "aloha" that made our stay memorable....his name is Blane. Went out of his way to be accommodating. Will consider staying again. read more

Horrible! They definitely do not care about their customers! This will be 1 of 2 reviews done on vacation rental companies. They will rent you a vacation spot, have you sign all the necessary paperwork, pay the deposit and then...months down the road they will call you and tell you that oops they werent supposed to even rent out that condo out...oops! I had 7 people coming to visit and by the time they cancelled our place we were not only screwed because there wasn't much available so close to the date, but it also was going to cost us a lot more money because of the short notice! They didn't even care the predicament they had put us in and certainly didn't compensate us for it nor did they try to find us another place to stay (they did recommend one place and it was a dump compared to what we had originally - such a disappointment). If you choose to use this company just make sure you get something in writing in case they try to screw you over too!!! read more

No services provided (can't ask about local eats or activities), room not as described (we paid for a partially upgraded room and got a room that has zero upgrades), room smells and there is no maid service (nor can you pay for one, whereas you do get maid service if you book through the hotel or Shell vacations). Do not book through this service! If you are going to stay at the Illikai, book through the hotel or Shell vacations! read more

Vacations are supposed to help you relax and get away from the stresses of daily life right? Wrong. Not if you rent a condo at the Ilikai on ala moana blvd. We arrive after hours to find out that parking is a whopping $28/night (valet only) and argue we were told that it was included with the room. Our room 2018 was supposed to be renovated. See photo or our 50 year old worn out shower. The room was repulsive. It smelled, the carpet was filthy (dirty and stained) as was the comforter on the bed which smelled so bad we wouldn't use it. All of the furniture had to be over 20 years old and it all had an odor. The kitchen was the original from the 50 year old building and the dishwasher was useless. We complained to hawaii vacations and was told that because we had used the room they would not send maid service. Keep in mind that they had been closed over the weekend... They did not honor our military discount as advertised. You will be lucky if you get a bar of soap and a roll of toilet paper. That's it folks. BYO TP! You can purchase a micro-roll pack of 4 for $4 in their hotel store. Best thing about this place is the view. Customer service non-existent. Cleanliness non-existent. Renovation a joke. Misleading and misrepresentation with staff that doesn't care. We left a day early and flew home. Learn from Las Vegas people. Provide easy access to updated clean facilities and the people will come. Unreal and unpleasant. Take heed vacationers. read more

We travel to Hawaii once a year and book through Marina Hawaii Vacation Rentals and Sales which is located right in the hotel on the 2nd floor. We tried other vacation rental companies twice and were unhappy with service, staff and cleanliness. Carpet was dirty in one another had roaches. We trust Marina Hawaii for our vacation rentals as the accomodations are exactly as they describe in both the Ilikai, Ilikai Marina and Discovery Bay. We have stayed in all 3. A+ service, prompt and efficient as well as friendly caring staff that knows their properties. FYI company has been in business for over 30 years...in the building which speaks for itself. Very loyal owners. read more

Could not have loved staying here more! This place was amazing in pretty much every way. Can't wait to stay here again in the future.

We were disappointed in our stay at the Ilikai. The condo was on the 18th floor which was good and the view was pretty good as well. The condo itself however was not great. It was not very clean and the air conditioner was so old that it sounded like a jet running in your room on and off all night. I realize that the complex is not responsible for the traffic noise but with all the doors shut it was so loud that it almost drowned out the air conditioner. We were told to take out the trash and wash the dishes prior to departing. No problems with that except there was a dishwasher in the unit but not detergent for it. So this means washing by hand which is not a big deal except that everyones version of clean is not the same. We found food crusted on dishes and the glasses were not usable. We had to wash everything prior to use. I would think someone would check this prior to new guests arriving. Also the bathroom shower was less than clean as well with hair on the walls. I would not stay there again. read more

We have over 30 years experience with Marina Hawaii Vacations. They manage the rental of our 1 bedroom ocean-view condo for us (#1403 Discovery Bay) and we also rent from them when we need an additional condo for our kids to stay in. They rent and manage a large variety of condos in numerous Honolulu buildings. They are prompt to deal with by phone, email, and in person. Their rates are reasonable, and their condos are always well maintained, clean, and true to the pictures shown. We would highly recommend them! read more
