Walking into this location is like getting a surprise package even when you know what it is. We fell in love with the suite. So much welcoming accommodations in every room: Kitchen has everything for eateries (😳 Caviar Spoons), so you'll be amazed to say the least. Bathroom is beautiful, and the towels express that feeling. Bedroom is so comfortable like a 5-☆ hotel. Fireworks 🎆 from the balcony, overlooking the boat harbor. Have breakfast downstairs at Harbor Pub, dinner at Red Lobster, then return to Harbor Pub for live bands and a fun environment 😀 "It's Bigger on the Inside!" Save The Chart House for its own dinner day. This is an automatic favorite 😍 and we will be here several times each year. Jason and Anca are instant in their communication, and they express their determination to sufficiently accommodate your staycation in Waikiki. Perfectly located between Ala Moana shopping and Waikiki beaches. Parking is so easy and best option for cost efficiency. Highly recommend

It was so clean and bug free. I mean PRISTINE! Not one spec of dust! You can tell Grace has a regular pest control routine because there was not one bug unlike what I read about the surrounding reviews. There were beach towels, dish soap, shampoo, everything we needed to cook. There is a newer washer/dryer with laundry detergent which was so nice to have after a trip to the river and ocean. When we first arrived, there was a glitch in the door system and we couldn't get in. We messaged AirBnB and they gave us Grace's phone number to call, she picked up right away. She tried and the door buzzed but would not open. We were able to get in because someone came out so all was well. It never happened again so it was just a fluke in the system, no fault of Grace's. I appreciated how quickly Grace answered the phone. The TV was not hooked up to cable/internet, Grace said to try remotes, nothing ever worked. The bidet didn't work, not important, we cared about cleanliness and bugfree. TY Grace!

Me and my husband absolutely loved staying at Grace’s property!! Grace sent me the check-in info a day before we arrived, which takes away the stress of trying to figure out how to locate the property & get in. The property is inside a locked and private apartment complex, so it felt very secure. The property is located on the ground floor, which is super convenient when you’re hauling your luggage. The property is just as pictured! There is a full kitchen, a washer & dryer, and 2 AC units, which is hard to find in an AirBnB together! The only “complaint” I have: There are 2 small windows in the bedroom. There was an outside light above one of the windows, which shown into the room. We improvised and stuck some extra blankets to block out the light, which worked fine. But some thicker/blackout curtains would be great for the future! Overall, we loved staying here. Grace was very helpful & responsive with any questions we had! I definitely recommend to anyone staying in Waikiki!!

Loved staying at Tina’s place! We felt welcome and right at home, and it was very easy to access. Great location that is very walkable in Waikiki! This space became our home away from home (especially the balcony) for the time we spent here. Tina was very responsive and kept us in the loop before check-in and made sure to follow up after we made it into the unit. I mentioned that we were staying in the area for my mother’s birthday, and she surprised us by leaving a birthday note and sweet treat in the unit upon check in. It was a lovely touch, and made the stay that much more special! Tina was also on it when we ran into some issues with noise from other rooms in the hotel that you could hear through the walls by contacting the front desk. We appreciated that so much. The unit itself was very cute! It is small, and I do think that storage space can be optimized, especially for longer stays, but it was overall a great trip that we will always have fond memories of 💗

I had an amazing stay at this modern Waikiki apartment. The space is beautifully updated and truly has everything your heart desires.. every detail is thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. The mattress was exceptionally comfortable, making it easy to relax and wake up refreshed each day. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by plenty of coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping options. It’s the ideal place to stay in Waikiki, offering comfort and convenience. Highly recommended!

Great place to stay in Waikiki with an incredible view. The unit has very thoughtful design choices and we loved the bathroom which was very neat and modern, also we loved the smart toilet. Very large balcony which we were able to sit on and have a nice amount of space to also dry our clothing. Probably the best part about this building is the elevators. We have stayed in other Airbnbs in Waikiki and you wait up to 15 mins to go down. Here at the Waikiki Townhouse we rarely shared the elevator and when we did everyone at the building is friendly. We could go up and down in minutes so that's a huge bonus. We loved the place and when we get back to Waikiki we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

This place is outstanding!! My family of 6 loved this large condo with the two large balconies and amazing ocean view! The location is perfect, right next to the beach, restaurants and shopping. It was exactly as described with all the amenities and well-stocked for a comfortable stay. Having on site parking available also made it easy. The people at Midway Vacations were extremely helpful, friendly and responsive. The unit was very clean and comfortable and is highly recommended!!!
