I recently experienced my very first vacation condo rental at Marine Surf. And let's just say, my…read moreexperience was beyond expectations! Marine Surf is centrally located in the heart of Waikiki where you can literally walk to the beaches, bus stops, the International Market Place, tons of ABC stores, vast amounts of shopping stores and food places. There's even a shopping plaza a few steps from the front entrance of the condominiums. With the condo I stayed at, it came with an assigned parking slot in the parking garage. There is a magnetic key which is required to enter the garage structure and also is required when you use the elevators to go on any level (except the 1st floor). I pretty much felt safe and secure while staying at Marine Surf for the week. There are laundry rooms available where you need a specific card (given by the owners) which credit can be refilled by making payment at the card machine in the lobby. There is also a swimming pool on the 4th floor if you do not feel like swimming in salty waters. The only con I can think is the the slight noise level when I have the balcony sliding door open. Because it is in the heart of Waikiki, I can hear the buses go by, people walking/chatting, the nearby bars playing music. However, when the sliding door is close, the noise was at a bare minimum, and I slept so well each night. Bobber, the owner of the studio condo I rented from has two studios next to each other. He calls both of his studios, WaikikiLux because one ... it is in Waikiki, and two ... both of his studios provides the luxurious experience with beautiful interior designing and furniture, clean full kitchen, fully stocked necessities (like cooking equipment, bathroom toiletries, beach towels, iPod docking system, etc). For more information or if you would like to rent at WaikikiLux, go to: http://www.vrbo.com/190725. I definitely recommend renting a condo rather than staying at a hotel because it is cheaper and you feel like you are living as a local resident in Hawaii! And Marine Surf is a great place to rent!

Meh, I probably won't be back, but it served its purpose. It's very convenient to the beach, but…read morethe current is pretty strong. I personally witnessed a search and rescue while there. The place is spacious enough as I was by myself . Saw plenty of families and they appeared to be satisfied. Overall, it's dated and could use a good DEEP clean. I would definitely get rid of the fabric chairs. Great air inside with two units in each bedroom and fans throughout. Beware of insects. Keep the door closed and keep the trash out. I took all food and trash to the large trash can. Even with your best effort, you will see ants, gnats, centipedes, and lizards inside. There is also a small rooster that likes to roam, but appears friendly. The cost was reasonable, but it's not different than a 3.5 motel. Very central to most things . Everyone is very friendly. The road to get there can get super dark at night. Don't sleep on the restaurant in FoodLand!

Of all weekends to have an extended family beach getaway, we chose Mother's Day weekend. What a…read morewet and rainy three days! Despite Mother Nature's blessings, our family had an uneventful, yet relaxing time telling stories, playing cards, backgammon, and eating like there's no tomorrow; serious grazing. There's something to be said for having nothing to do. The rain slowed things down and forced us to just be, instead of doing so much. Exactly what a vacation should be. Now only if we could get the kids on board with that. This is the second time our family has rented this property. The main house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one tub and one shower. The living room area is nice sized, however the kitchen is a bit small but totally workable. The dinning room table doubles as a poker table. Full size washer and dryer available and with its own access via the outside deck. Totally separate is a two-story dwelling that houses two apartments that each sleeps four with its own bathroom/shower facilities and kitchenettes. The beach is typically beautiful with Goat Island in the distance. Lovely swimming holes immediatley out front, however this all looked stormy and fierce during our most recent stay. Nice place to surf and paddle board when the conditions are right. The deck and landscaping are charming additions making you feel at home, allowing you to sink in like you own the place.

The best part is the alone time on the lanai with their selection of organic pupus and champagne and that blanket. NOTHING in the world compares to this place.
