" We've visited Hawaii annually for the past twenty plus years and this is the first time that we have experienced staying in a condominium. We were absolutely delighted with our selection of Ilikai's #2029 which over ten days offered so much at a very high standard and gave us the independence that we were seeking. There was not one hitch from start to finish. You can't ask for anything better than that. We loved the proximity to the yacht harbour, the water and of course the easy walk to the Ala Moana Shopping Centre. A home away from home. An Ilikai condominium will be our first consideration next time we visit Waikiki. "

John, Australia - Ilikai Unit 2029

" We had another wonderful time staying at the Ilikai. The room and view was perfect just like the last one we stayed in. I like how the Ilikai is not stuck in the busiest part of Waikiki and it is only a short walk to the busier areas. We highly recommend this to our friends and family! "

Jen & Josh, B.C. Canada - Ilikai Unit 2028

" We just got back from our first vacation in Hawaii. Had a very nice time. We stayed in Unit 520 and it was everything you said it would be just like the photos. Very very nice!!! I will highly recommend it to anyone. We walked the entire beach and looked at every resort and we would still stay at the Ilikai. Love the location away from all the noise and commotion on the other end of the beach. B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l and kudos to a running such a great establishment. Thanks again. "

Brenda & Bob, Pittsburg, PA - Ilikai Unit 520

" We recently booked a holiday from May 20th to June 4th on WaikikiOceanfrontRentals.com in room 1718 and we were not disappointed! This was our first trip to Hawaii so I had high expectations and I can tell you now, it won't be our last. Having never rented a vacation rental before, I was a little apprehensive. However the whole process was seamless from our initial booking with Scott, to our payment process with the owner to the details that were supplied for our check in, to the unit itself. The suite was very clean and the decor was exactly as presented in the pictures (the kitchen layout was reversed, but appeared as presented). The pillows and duvet were sooo comfortable. Nothing will describe the feeling of pure excitement and relaxation (after a very long flight the night before followed by a comfortable sleep) that we felt when we opened the blinds the next morning to see the ocean, lagoon and double rainbows that welcomed us to our first day on Oahu! You can watch the luau at the Hilton next door from Monday-Thursday and fireworks on Friday, see plenty of surfers in the water, and view of the pool. You are between a 5-10min walk to downtown Waikiki when you walk along the oceanfront with access to number of shops, restaurants and bars. We loved enjoying our coffee on the comfortable chairs on the lanai and it was nice to turn off the AC and open the double doors to let the fresh ocean air inside. Doing dishes isn't a chore when you have a beautiful view of the ocean and cruise ships and sail boats passing by and we loved the flexibility of preparing our breakfast and snacks for the beach but splurging at night. There are ABC stores which carry your basic essentials within minutes of the Ilikai (one on each corner) as well as car rentals (across the street) and walking distance (5min to Ala Moana Shopping Centre). There is a grocery store at the shopping centre (back side past Macy's) which is great for your larger grocery orders. There is also a Walmart and Sam's Club on the other side of the mall. The unit was well equipped with all of the kitchen appliances you would need during your stay. The concierge service (Veronica in particular) was fabulous. Everyone in the building was super friendly and they have good weekly deals in the bar onsite. WOFR was very attentive and timely responding in his response to our questions before our departure and upon our arrival. And we loved that long distance and Internet was included to keep in touch with our family back home. To park with the concierge is expensive ($22 a day), but really you only need to rent a vehicle one or two days to tour the island and get your supplies. The rest of the time I suggest you use the trolly, tour bus excursions or walk. We would without a doubt stay here again or at another Waikiki Oceanfront Rental property. I have already shared the link with a number of family and friends. Trust us, if you book here you will not be disappointed! Thanks for a wonderful stay and we can't wait until our next visit. Mahalo! "

Michelle, Alberta, Canada - Ilikai Unit 1718

" I am one of those people that researches intensely before I travel and I am always leery of private deals. I have to say that this one was great though. Everything was exactly as described, the room was clean, new looking and the view was nice. Tip for people that want to do laundry, its kind of expensive, but if you're going to use it the all in one laundry sheets (include built in detergent , fabric softener and anti static) work great. I bought my at the supermarket before we left, so it was not bulky and mess free. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks "

Ritch & Laura, Langley, BC Canada - Ilikai Unit 2128

" I would just like to thank you for your excellent service and quality Apartment during our stay at the llikai towers everything was within walking distance great pool area beautiful coffee shop downstairs and friendly helpful staff .The room was clean and tidy with everything as per the website .I would not hesitate in recommending WaikikiOceanfrontRentals to anyone , a fantastic holiday with no hassles. "

Brent, USA - Ilikai Unit 1714

" Just a short email to thank you for a great stay in apartment 2006 at the Ilikai. We had a fantastic time, and the apartment was ideal for our needs. The only problem was that we had to leave too soon. "

Greg & Winnie, Newtown, NSW, Australia - Ilikai Unit 2006

" It is hard to believe that we had such a lovely vacation, and seems so long ago. Thanks to both you and Bert for everything. The unit had all of the amenities that we needed, and I wish we were sitting on the lanai looking at the beautiful ocean view again. We will surely be back as soon as we can, and will definitely book one of your units - whether the same one, or possibly a little higher if one is available. Thanks again! "

Connie & Peter, Sidney, BC, Canada, USA - Ilikai Unit 1722

" We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the accomodations were excellent. The location was awesome, and the room was exactly as promised, and everything was first class. All amenities were good, and we had no issues whatsoever. The one small glitch, upon our arrival, was that our room code did not work, but I called you on your cell phone, and you were able to give me an alternate code immediately. I called you during the week and you were able to give us a (much appreciated) late checkout, since our flight didn't leave until Friday evening. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and I would recommend you highly to others. Thanks for all your help, in making this a wonderful vacation for myself and my family. "

Tom, Stockton, CA, USA - Ilikai Unit 1730

" Thank you so much for arraigning our stay at the Ilikai! Our family really enjoyed our Hawaii vacation and the penthouse condo played a great part in making the time in Hawaii comfortable and relaxing. With our family of six, everyone had enough room to relax and have their own personal space. Everything was conveniently within walking distance (beach, shops, restaurants) from the condo. We loved that condo and will definitely comeback on our next trip. Mahalo and Aloha for now Hawaii. Our family misses you already. "

Chi, Yorktown, VA, USA - Ilikai Unit 2603

" What an absolutely wonderful and relaxing time my daughter and I had at the condo.....Wow, where do I start? My 29 year old daughter and myself had a Mother/Daughter trip since she lives out of State from me, when we arrived she just didn't feel well and wanted to lay on the sofa and watch TV after arriving in Hawaii in the afternoon....I knew something was wrong. Monday morning I awoke to hear her crying in the bathroom and discovering my daughter had a high temperature, sore throat, and her ears were aching. I learned quickly that there are a couple of "Docs on Call" around Waikiki and I immediately called them at 5AM to which they told us we could wait until 6AM and a free Shuttle would pick us up, or we could take a taxi.....We took a taxi and were on our way to Walgreen's by 630AM....back to the condo by 730AM....Everyone we met from our Bellhop upon our arrival to our trips to see the Doctor during our stay was helpful, friendly, and always offered a helping hand and a smile. We could not have chosen a better place to be where everything was spotless, safe, secure, and having the beach and so much more outside your hotel.....who could ask for more? My daughter's first couple of days in Hawaii were rough ones, but once the antibiotics and shot kicked in she was up and we were on the beach, and enjoying our time together. I am so appreciative of your condo while my daughter and I stayed inside we could hear the ocean, see the surfers, and hear and see the Luau next door from not only our kitchen, but all areas of the condo inside and out....I made smoothie's in the blender, shopped at the ABC Store across the street, and even rented a car at Enterprise which is also across the street....We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center in our rented car, drove along the eastern coast and drove back through the middle of the island....I am so thankful we were not stuck in a "hotel room" during the days Krystle was sick, and I am thankful for you and how efficiently you run and conduct these beach front condos....I can't wait to come back and stay with you again. I just want to make sure we get to stay in our favorite condo again.....thank you so much!! "

Mary and Krystle, Sacramento, California - Ilikai Unit 1718

" We spent 10 wonderful nights in unit 406 in June 2011. The location was perfect, close to Ala Moana & next door to the Hilton which was fantastic for the Friday night fireworks. I'd recommend the Ilikai to anyone who prefers the quieter end of Waikiki but wants to be within walking distance of the action. We were impressed with the unit's facilities, plenty of towels, heaps of cooking utensils/cutlery & a huge refrigerator.....the kitchen is perfect for cooking meals & the lanai is just wonderful for relaxing & watching the world go by. We plan to come back in 2013 with our boys, it'll be my 50th & the eldest's 21st. Can't wait!!! "

Chris & Wayne, Adelaide, South Australia - Ilikai Unit 406

" I would just like to thank you again for our fantastic stay in Waikiki! The condo in the Ilikai truly made a difference in the quality of our vacation, not only was our condo clean, secure, and well-equipped, it was tastefully decorated, private, and was conveniently located in the "quieter" part of waikiki. Compared to some of the other hotels I have stayed in in the past, we enjoyed better access to the less crowded resort beaches, major shopping centres, and restaurants. Only 20 minutes from the airport, the Ilikai condo shortened the transition from travel-mode to vacation-mode and was easily accessible by transit, cab, or shuttle. Thanks to this proximity (as well as the generosity of the staff) we were able to enjoy an extra full day in paradise without having to worry about check out and travel time to the airport. In brief, the Ilikai condo was a welcome retreat and became our home away from home. At the end of the day, relaxing on our lanai while the cityscape lit up before us became as memorable as many of the adventures that filled our day. If ever in Waikiki again, a Waikiki Oceanfront condo will undoubtedly be our go-to accommodation. Thanks again :) "

Darcie, St.Albert, Canada - Ilikai Unit 1607

" Hello, just wanted to drop a note to say thank you for providing us with a very comfortable stay in unit 520. The unit provides an excellent view and met our needs. We only wished we could have visited longer! Take care until next time we visit! "

The Letto Family, Edmonton, Alberta Canada - Ilikai Unit 520

" We just returned from a nine night stayed in unit #820. - July 2011. It was everything that was advertised on the website, plus more! The beds, layout space, kitchen and utilities were awesome. The a/c was great and very quiet. The location of the Ilikai is great. It is in a very quite location in the tourist area yet very accessible for everything needed. The view from the unit was marvelous. We would definitely consider this unit for a return trip to the islands. The staff at Waikiki Oceanfront rentals made the process very easy. Great service. Good value. This was our first time considering and booking a condo rental. Based on this experience we will definitely consider this for all future travel. Thanks again for a great holiday and for great accomodations!!! "

Elaine, B.C. Canada - Ilikai Unit 820

" Let me first say that anyone visiting Waikiki who does not stay at Scott's remarkable penthouse 2607 condo is missing out on a real treat! It is perfectly located, extremely well appointed and the decor is exceptional. There was no item or convenience overlooked in his arrangement of the facility. Simply put, It made our stay in Hawaii a pleasure. Thank you Scott & we will certainly return."

Robert, Canada - Ilikai Unit 2607

" We have just arrived back home in Australia after 12 beautiful days in Hawaii. Our stay in unit 818 was perfect. !!! This unit was everything it said it would be and more. The location, view, size, quality, all excellent. We even went to the "not so cheap" rooftop resteraunt, it too was excellent and first class. We are coming back in a couple of years time for a 50th birthday with a half dozen or more friends. The choice will be easy. Mahalo "

Bruce, Brisbane, Australia - Ilikai Unit 818

" We just returned home after our beautiful vacation in Hawaii. Our unit was in a perfect location and we could see everything happening on the beach, lagoon and the Hilton Hawaiian stage. One night we saw a Hawaii 5-0 segment being filmed. The next night the most spectacular fireworks and when we went to sleep at night we could hear beautiful Hawaiian music in the distance. If there was anything we required Brett or Scott made sure it was supplied. When we got to the airport we told some ladies from Winnipeg about our Ilikai apartment and they said they are booking next year. We will be back next year for sure. Mahalo! "

Dale & Donna, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada - Ilikai Unit 2016

" We stayed in the sky penthouse for 10 days and had a wonderful time!! I had never booked a condo stay like this before but the whole process was very simple & straight forward. The condo was very clean which was a top priority for our family, it was a perfect location close to shopping, restaurants and a short walk to the beach. The kitchen was fully equipted and saved us a lot of money by preparing our own meals. The staff at the Ilikai were very friendly & helpful. On more than one night we were front and centre from our balcony to see wonderful fireworks shows. On another evening as we took a walk by the beach the "Hawaii 5-0" show was filming on the beach and we were able to watch them filming!! We look forward to our next visit to Hawaii & the Ilikai!! "

Andrea - Edmonton, Canada - Ilikai Unit 2607

" My family and I stayed in units 524, 820, and 1414. We were so pleased and impressed with everything the condos had to offer. Everything was exactly as it appeared online. This was our first time visiting Hawaii and I can say for sure it will not be the last. We are thinking of making this an annual family trip. Be assured we will be staying at the Ilikai Hotel when we return. I appreciate you assisting me in booking the units and look forward to visiting you soon. "

Minnie - Maryland, USA - Ilikai Unit 534, 820, 1414

" I was in Hawaii for a 9 day stay on a doctoral academic residency that required a ton of homework and my husband is a post-cardiac event patient so accommodations and amenities were essential. The condo provided a home away from home for us as it was soooo cozy and enabled me to cook all my husband's heart healthy meals along with being able to write papers and submit online to sound of the ocean with the sliding doors open. This in itself made our Hawaiian visit most memorable. My husband especially enjoyed the huge flat screen and couch as NFL and NBA games came on five hours earlier rather than late in night so he could sit back and watch them all afternoon. He also loved using a code door entry rather than key which provided us with an extra sense of security when we left the condo. I appreciated a blender in the unit as start the day with protein shakes that need to be blended. Also, the toaster was big hit as my husband loves toast with his fruit as a snack which makes it just like home. The deep tub was a hit after the all day tours, not to mention the nightly luaos we could view from our balcony. Thank you for your assistance for minor internet connection issues- my husband was able to work remotely during the day and I was able to submit my papers with ease. In the morning before class, we were able to take a run a few times around the lagoon just before sunrise (the sidewalk was lit) then do a water workout in the pool, met a few of the other residents and would love to come back to teach water aerobics for them, you already have the participation willing and waiting! Cant wait to plan to return soon to the Ilikai. We googled the original Hawaii Five-O opening scene of the building, very cool! "

Antoinette & David - North Carolina, USA - Ilikai Unit 2116

" Hi, just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay, We were really delighted with the apartment at 1777 Ala Moana Blvd. The apartment was great, even better than the photos, spotless and very elegant. Arriving and getting in was a hassle free breeze which is important to us. The location is excellent for the beach, coffee in the morning and restaurants at night. AND the Ala Moana centre being walking distance was too much temptation for the girls!! We go to Hawaii each year and we have stayed in some very nice hotels, but, after the apartment, we know which we prefer, hands down! There is so much more comfort, space and relaxation in the apartment. Thanks again and we will be in touch to stay for our next Hawaiian trip ! "

Jim - Victoria, Australia - Ilikai Unit 2603

" We had a wonderful time and the unit was perfect. The views from our room was awesome- in fact even the locals loved our view because we saw so many brides and grooms posing for their wedding pictures as we watched from our balcony. Being at the start of Waikiki was perfect- we rented a car so it was so easy to drive in and out. The valet service was excellent- the attendants must have run to get our car each time since they brought our car up so quickly. The location was perfect- so close to all ones needs. It is I who needs to "Thank You"! We will definitely return to the Illikai. "

Bobbi - Fresno, Califonia - Ilikai Unit 2016

"We wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed our vacation, thanks in large part to you and especially Bert. All of our questions and issues (minor) were handled very quickly and with a really great attitude. We were particularly happy with the late check-out, which allowed us to enjoy a "bonus day", as our flight out was late at night. That was fantastic and we wanted to express our thanks. We have told everyone we have encountered about WOFR, and will continue to refer anyone who asks. "

Jamie & Jackie - British Columbia, Canada - Ilikai Unit 524

"We wanted to thank you for our best vacation we ever had! It was our 15th years wedding anniversary. We stayed in unit 1120 in Jan.2011, and it was amazing! The condo was modern, very clean and comfortable, as we saw it on web site. Free internet was helpful. Our condo had a spectacular view of the ocean, which we enjoyed every breakfast and night. The full kitchen saved us lots of money. Great location, fantastic shows on Friday night. Thank you so much again for making our 'honeymoon' perfect, we give you 5 stars and highly recommend Waikiki Oceanfront Rentals to everyone. "

Eugene & Olga - Washington State, USA - Ilikai Unit 1120

"We stayed in Unit 406 and what at pleasant surprise! Cleanliness and attention to detail provided a luxurious stay that included quality bedding, modern furnishings, ample kitchen provisions, beach towels, an IPod docking station, and a spacious and very comfortably furnished lanai from which to view the nightly sunset torch lighting ceremony, the surfers, ocean traffic, and para-sailing. We even spotted some whales during morning coffee on the lanai! The location is perfect, close to all amenities, yet on the quiet end of the beach. We would definitely recommend this suite, you will not be disappointed! The late check-out arrangement accommodated our late evening flight and allowed for a perfect end to our vacation. Kudos to all of you, Your thoughtfulness for your guests comfort is very much appreciated! "

Gil & Rita - Idaho, USA - Ilikai Unit 406

"Our vacation in Oahu was absolutely superb. The condo was exactly like we saw on the internet pictures and suited our needs to a tea. The location was perfect and the ocean view spectacular. We didn't have to travel any distance to see a spectacular view. The concierge services at the hotel namely Reggie was extremely helpful as being an islander and extremely knowledgeable he was able to guide us in our travels as well as book some of them for us. I will most certainly recommend your services to whomever is planning a trip to Oahu and as well recommend staying at the Ilikai Resort Hotel. The condo was clean and well equipped with the necessary dishes utensils, towels etc. Thanks for your assistance in making this a most memorable vacation. Thank you for the wonderful accommodations. "

Pat - Manitoba, Canada - Ilikai Unit 1704

"We were apprehensive booking a condo and paying for it before arriving and seeing whether it is legit. Not only was everything legit but we absolutely loved our suite! It was so roomy and the finishings were absolutely beautiful. I think it was nicer than many Four Seasons' Suites! It was nice to be so close to the lagoon where I could watch my little kids stress-free. I didn't have to worry about a rouge wave tumbling them over or worry that currents would suck them out to sea while they played on their floaty toys. We brought the life jackets to the beach which made for even less stress. Thank you for the wonderful accommodations. "

Jennifer - Vancouver, Canada - Ilikai Unit 1525

"We stayed in Feb 2011. Check in was perfect just went straight to our room and entered the code. Loved the room and the view and got to see sunset every night. Is on a quiet end of Waikiki but within walking to everything. Car rental right across street and easy parking behind and probably the cheapest. Had a 10:00 pm flight and emailed the day before and said we could stay in our room until 9:00 pm and to enjoy another full day at Waikiki. This was our first time to Hawaii and we will be back every year and will be back to Ilikai condos. Already planing a trip in April or may of 2012. Our friends stayed down the beach and ended up getting a different place but were still unhappy. Way too crowded. Our beds were even comfy. Thank you for the great stay, we will be back next year, thanx for making our first trip a great experience. "

Rick & Sindi - Washington State, USA - Ilikai Unit 2127

"Greetings from Cape Cod. We are writing to tell briefly about our stay at the Ilikai over Thanksgiving. This was our first trip to HI. We stayed in unit 1818 and we were not disappointed. Everything was as or better than advertised. No bad surprises. The room was great, including the bath, kitchen, and TV. The beds were fine. The view is spectacular. We could see the kids below at the pool, out surfing at canoes or over at the lagoon. The staff was friendly, mellow and professional, and we were granted a delayed checkout to prepare for the long trip back to MA. We were able to bring our surfboards up to the room via the "wet" elevator without hassles. We've been burned before by renting what looked like great condos on the internet that turned out to be turkeys. The Ilikai is the real deal. We stayed the week of t-giving and had a blast. Don't hesitate. Concentrate on the other details of your trip, like spending the extra $$ on the bigger airline seats and your car rental, etc. "

Kim & Fred - Cape Cod, USA - Ilikai Unit 1818

"We stayed in the Sky Penthouse unit 2607 in September of 2010. We frequently visit Hawaii and this was by far the best place that we have stayed. In fact, we enjoyed our vacation here soo much that we are booking it again in 2011. This Penthouse comes fully equipped with every amenity that one could hope for all the way down to the beach chairs, umbrellas and dish soap. It was very clean and modern, and the master bed was very comfortable. The views of the Lagoon, Diamond Head and the beach are outstanding!!! (that's an understatement!!!) On Friday nights they have a fireworks display show that you have a front row seat to watch from the comfort of your own balcony. They do the show on the beach right in front of the condo with unobstructive views. You can also watch the Luau at the Hilton next door from here. This Penthouse is situated in the best location possible, the first hotel tower entering Waikiki...it doesn't get better then this!!! You want convienence? How about 24 hour valet parking with in and out privelages at a decent rate. Not to mention, after a long day at the beach this is the first door you hit right off the elevator. The book of recommendations that Scott has provided is very helpful when looking for things to do, places to go and getting a bite to eat. I am giving Scott and WaikikiOceanfrontRentals 5 stars for my overall experience. If you are looking for a nice vacation in the best location for the most decent price...this is the place to be!!! Dare to compare, check out the prices at the Hilton next door...it's shocking!!! Mahalo Scott "

Rich & Tina - Vacaville, California, USA - Ilikai Unit 2607

"Our stay in unit 2039 was above and beyond what we had expected. Attention to detail and presentation of the room were well above many hotels and units we have stayed in worldwide. Prior to our stay, we stayed on Maui in an hotel which was supposed to be top of the range, but cleanliness and presentation were well below the Waikiki Oceanfront Rentals standard. Location was perfect, away from the noise, but access to anything and everything was right on our doorstep. Missing relaxing on the Lanai taking in the fantastic sunsets already. We will certainly return and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. "

Christine, Gold Coast, Austalia - Ilikai Unit 2039

"Aloha! We stayed in Condo 818 in September 2010. Our stay was wonderful! The condo was clean. Our family of four (two teenage boys) had plenty of room to move around. The view is beautiful. We could even watch the Luau at the Hilton several evenings from the lanai. (Binoculars do help, be you can hear it and see it some without them). Everyone was very helpful. I would highly suggest valet parking. It is well worth the $18/day. Everyone was right there to attend to our needs. We only had one or two, but the responses were very prompt. It was so nice after our long plane ride to just go right to the condo without having to check in anywhere. You just get a keycode for the door to use for your stay. The pool was wonderful. Always quiet and clean, thanks to Kay, the pool lady! If you want lots of excitement and action, this place is probably not for you, although the Hilton is right next door; a quick and easy walk. We very much enjoyed the quiet and relaxing environment and would suggest this condo to our friends and family (and already have!). Thanks so much for making our stay perfect! Mahalo and Aloha! "

David, Georgia, USA - Ilikai Unit 818

"Kia Ora, This is the most fabulous accommodation, close to conference centre and great eating places. Nicer then being in the middle of Waikiki yet only a stroll away, awesome view of the Hilton fireworks from our balcony. All of our friends that visited us are going to stay there next time as our room was so much nicer then the hotels they were in. I would highly recommend this room and I would certainly stay here again, clean, lots of space and all the amenities you require. Mahalo "

Kiri, Gisbourne, New Zealand - Ilikai Unit 2014

"Thank you soo much for recommending unit 1814 at the Ilikai hotel resort We had a fabulous time in Hawaii, the Ilikai was soo central to everything and the views blew us away, we got a view of the Hilton's cultural nights performances, views of the fire works on Waikiki beach, the ocean, lagoon and pool. We loved the unit and used the facilities available to us. I loved the easy check in and also thank you Bert for the late check out as it helped having a late flight back home to NZ. Loved the Waikiki trolleys and Ala Moana shopping centre, food courts, Walmart, and Ross and many many more. We didn't want to leave Honolulu. Loved the units self contained with fridge, cooking facilities and everything available for our use. Having free internet access was a bonus! One other thing I really appreciated was the friendly cleaners as we would pass in the hall way and the bell boys, pool attendant, and safety having a 24 hour security watch in the hotel. Just want to say thank you and will be coming again in July 2011 for my mum's 60th birthday and we are definitely staying at the Ilikai. Mahalo! P.S.the band and the two hawaiian dancers down at the ilikai bar and grill was great to enjoy! Beautiful hotel/resort I recommend 150% to anyone travelling to Waikiki. We rented 3 units for 10 people lots of room and space in the units and in the entire hotel.! "

Josephine, Auckland, New Zealand - Ilikai Unit 1814

"Kia Ora Waikiki just to let you know we have arrived back in Aotearoa safely. Our stay in Waikiki Oceanfront Rentals was perfect, spacious rooms, fantastic staff, swimming pool and views to die for. The fireworks show on Friday night was spectacular. We will be back, already saving for our return. Thanks for everything. "

Tania, Whangarei, New Zealand - Ilikai Unit 1830

"We would like to thank you for a wonderful stay in your condo. We stayed in 426 and it was beautiful, clean and just as we saw it on the web site. After a 12hr plane trip it was so nice to just walk right up to the room. No waiting at the front desk for keys. Thank you so much and we will be back again to stay with you! "

The Hoyt Family, New York USA - Ilikai Unit 426

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Ilikai, the condo was just as advertised and very comfortable. We will definitely be booking with you again on our next visit to Hawaii. "

Al, Ontario, Canada - Ilikai Unit 1404

"Very much enjoyed staying in condo 2039 great room,location,outlook and great responses from you and your staff on any concerns especially giving us a late checkout on the final day with our flight leaving at 11.15 pm. We will definitely be back in the near future and will certainly recommend the Ilikai to others especially our family and friends. Just aside I broke my 9'5" surfboard in half on my last hour of surfing, a good size wave on the last day. Many thanks from my new wife Zana and myself, we got married on Sandy Beach 5.30am on Wednesday 21st. "

Brian, Auckland New Zealand - Ilikai Unit 2039

"We loved our time in Hawaii! We stayed in unit 2603 of the Ilikai Resort Hotel and the unit exceeded our expectations. It was everything your website said it would be; we loved the roominess and the location and view were excellent. We had the added benefit of seeing the nightly outdoor Luau next door at the convention center. We hope to stay again and will certainly refer our friends "

Scott, North Dakota USA - Sydney Australia - Ilikai Unit 2603

"Our stay in unit #1120 greatly surpassed our expectations. The condo was clean and spacious, with all the necessities of home. We had a generous supply of towels, soap, & the full kitchen saved us money that we would have spent on breakfast and lunches. Our unit had spectacular view of the ocean, lagoon & the condo is a great place to enjoy pre-dinner drinks, Friday night fireworks & access to a less populated beach. We could walk from our end of Waikiki to activities we wanted to do on the other end within 30 minutes. Having Ala Moana Shopping Center for groceries, shopping, and food was also a money saving benefit. This was our 3rd visit to Oahu & it was a pleasant change to staying at high priced hotels and resorts. We feel that the condo gave us more space and food options and allowed us to splurge on island excursions & dinners. We didn't get that overcrowded, over commercialized sensation that comes along with hotels & resorts. Staff was always easily accessible & willing to accommodate. The bar staff at Sarento's were fantastic. They made happy hour very happy for us & "Mr Magic" waved his magic on a stack of cards that made the whole experience "magic" I would recommend The Ilikai Hotel and this company to anyone traveling to this part of Hawaii. Thank you! "

Michael & Lyndall - Sydney Australia - Ilikai Unit 1120

"The room we stayed in was amazing!! 1 bedroom was spacious enough for myself, my boyfriend and 2 small children! I would highly recommend this to my family and friends. It was very convenient walking right out the back of the hotel, down a path and on to the beach. I loved it because it was on Ala Moana, away from the busy Waikiki strip but walking distance to the strip. It definitely made our first stay in honolulu a pleasant one! Thank you! "

Michelle, Manitoba, Canada - Ilikai Unit 619

"I wanted to thank you for everything I loved the condos, my friends and family loved them. Those that stayed at near by hotels wished they would have stayed where we did once they got the hotel bill and for what little they got. The view was great! We are already talking about coming out in 5 years again, possibly even next year. If anyone plans on going to Hawaii I will mention you guys. Hands down you are great! Thank you! "

Jackie Sue - Ilikai Unit 1629

"We had a great time in the Ilikai Towers we found on Waikiki Oceanfront Rentals, our flight was a red eye that arrived at 6 in the morning and I was thus worried about an early check in situation. Scott was very helpful and told me that if no one was staying in the room the night before we would be able to get in early as well. The morning of our arrival, there was a little glitch with the door lock but things were fixed very quickly after a phone call. The room was excellent and exceeded our expectations, everything clean, modern and comfortable with a beautiful view. On the last day of our trip, even though check out was supposed to be in the morning, our flight was at 11 pm. I called again and asked if there was any way for a late check-out, to my surprise, after mentioning our 11 pm flight, we were granted permission to stay in the room until 9 pm! Once again, we were extremely satisfied with our stay and with the flexibility and service! Would definitely book through them again the next time we're in Hawaii. Thank you! "

Ian, USA - Ilikai Unit 1802

"Our stay at the Ilikai through WaikikiOceanfrontRentals website was superb. We stayed on the 11th floor, logoon side ocean views. I never bother writing reviews, but because the experience was so good I had to write something, so that I could help others be comfortable making the right decision. To begin with, I like the process of paying upfront. This means you don't have to give credit card details, and know exactly how much your up for - easier to budget. Upon receipt of payment you are emailed codes to the room, plus internet passwords. I love the key-less entry to your room, I think this is a great idea and means you dont have to worry about losing cards or them not working. I also like not having to check in with the front desk, the entire process is seamless, when you arrive you can shoot straight up to your room, no line ups, nothing, and upon arriving, the codes worked, the internet worked, and the room looked exactly like the pictures. And the views are simply breathtaking...... nice big balcony, we were very impressed and were beaming with excitement of the prospect of spending 3 weeks here. The entire stay was a dream. Everything went smoothly. Our stay was for 3 weeks, so eating out every night was not an option. Luckily the apartment is walking distance to the big shopping centre, I did a few trips there to buy food, which saved money on eating out. The kitchen is well stocked, and we cooked up some nice meals, eating them from the nice big balcony. There are plenty of restaurants around there if your feeling lazy too. There are plenty of lifts in the hotel, and they are fast, which means no down time waiting when moving to and from your room. I required a fast reliable internet connection, the rooms have wired and wireless connections, and for the entire time we didnt have any problems servicing 2 laptops. Scott was always available on the phone, and was prompt and happy to answer any queries. On our last day our flight didn't leave until 10pm, so he was nice enough to organize a late check out of 8pm!!! What a legend, and thanks again Scott. In addition there is an excellent surf break right outside the doorstep of ilikai. Each morning I would brew up some Kona coffee from the coffee machine in the room (yum yum) drink it on the balcony and marvel at the consistent surf. It would take me literally 5minutes to be in the surf from the room, and every day i would spend at least 2 hours in the water. I found the locals who surfed there very friendly, so long as you respect general surf rules and are nice to them (which isn't hard to do, cause they are so friendly). We are loved our stay at the Ilikai and will be doing it again for sure. Aloha! "

Victor, Australia - Ilikai Unit 1120

"Our stay at the Ilikai Resort was just perfect except that we were not there long enough. The condo was beautifully decorated and such a great deal! We had a perfect view of the ocean..what a sight to see every morning when you wake up! Thanks so much for your restaurant suggestions. We enjoyed absolutely every part of our stay there. I trust we will be able to return again soon...It is truly paradise!!! "

Sally, South Carolina, USA - Ilikai Unit 1412

"We were delighted to stay at the Ilikai. The rooms were very comfortable and clean, and more than we expected. The views were perfect! We loved the keyless entry. AND, the hospitality of the valets was incredible. We had a large wedding party staying at the Ilikai and heard many wonderful comments about the accommodations. A return trip is planned and we'll definitely be staying there. "

Bob & Maureen, Aberdeen, SD - Ilikai Unit 1602 & Ilikai 1607

"We had a wonderful time , everything was perfect. we want to thank you for the late check out, it made everything so much easier for our last day. the condo was beautiful and hawaii was amazing. We would stay with you again for sure. "

Craig & Nancy, Pennsylvania, USA - Ilikai Unit 1714

" We had a wonderful time and both units (2022 and 2034) were exactly as promised and very nice. We did like the ocean views better from 2022 (fireworks were amazing from 2034 though!). Thanks for your quick responses to my questions while we were there. We'll be sure to stay in one of your units again if we're lucky enough to make it back to Oahu. "

Rebecca, Colorado, USA - Ilikai Unit 2022 & 2034

"Our stay at the Ilikai could not have been better, we absolutely loved our room # 2106 ! The views were spectacular overlooking the marina and the ocean. We were fortunate enough to have had a front row seat to watch the 4th of July fireworks show from Ala Moana Beach Park directly off our lanai, a real bonus for us. This location is just perfect for access to the beach as well as to the Ala Moana Shopping Centre for everything you need for a great holiday. Thanks for everything, it was a pleasure dealing with you to secure our room. We'll be back ! "

Brent & Debbie, Calgary Alberta - Ilikai Unit 2106

"Thank you so much, we had a great holiday and our apartment was perfect, even better that we got to check in early. Our view was great and the location would have to be one of the best in Waikiki. We would definately stay again. I have actually recommended to friends who are going to Hawaii next February. oh and having plenty of towels, face washers and hand towels was fab, and the beach towels were nice and big; so handy. Thanks for all your help "

Carmen & Janet - Ilikai Unit 1728

" Thank you for providing us with the perfect condo (1624 at the Ilikai) to for our recent stay (Jul13-Jul26). The condo had all the amenities we could have asked for, and was in a fantastic location within very close walking distance of the heart of Waikiki Beach and shopping. Our condo was spotless upon arrival, and was very comfortable to stay in. We had such an amazing view, at such a great price and will definitely be returning. I have recommended Waikiki Oceanfront Rentals to family and friends,so that they can experience it for themselves! Thank you for excellent level of customer service, no matter what the question was. Everyone was quick to respond to my emails and was always able to offer a solution and the right information to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. "

Jackie, Australia - Ilikai Unit 1624

"I am so delighted we choose this property. Well situated, well appointed. The view was amazing and the lanai was a perfect size. The pictures were exactly what we saw when we opened the condo door. I have been to Hawaii five times before and I will never stay at another hotel. This was great value for the dollar and we enjoyed the flexibility of making our own meals which was a huge cost savings. I would not hesitate to recommend this property. We are already planning our stay for next year! Thanks for a great stay!! "

A. Corbitt, Toronto, Canada

"Me and my boyfriend just stayed in this condo in Waikiki, and it was awesome! We had so much fun, and we were in such a good location! Everything was walkable. We went to the beach almost everyday, which was just right outside the front of the condo! The room itself was presented very well, and we liked it very much. There was a grocery store right across the street so we didn't have to go out every night, and the full kitchen was excellent for cooking for ourselves! We had a great time, would definitely stay there again "

Leah & Cody, Vancouver, Canada - Iliki Unit 2022

"Excellent. Using key codes instead of keys is the way to go. Also, no front desk check-in and check-out saves time and aggravation. We will do it again. "

B. Mars, L.A. USA - Ilikai Unit 1412

"The description of the room, view and facilites was very accurate. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to look after individual needs. Internet is free (most places charge $ 10.00/day). Great access to the beach/lagoon area. We are looking forward to several more returns to this place!!! "

R. Lane, Victoria, Canada - Ilikai Unit 2014

"I must say that the trip was awesome. The condo we booked 1818, was wonderful. Everything we could have expected. The view was spectacular and exactly like the website showed. The entire stay at the Ilikai was great. We enjoyed the close proximity to the lagoon and the beach not to mention the restaurants and the shops. Thank you again for making our stay in Hawaii a great one. If the opportunity presents itself, I would go back to Hawaii and I would also use WaikikiOceanFrontRentals.com again. There were 11 of us staying in several of the condos and we all agreed that we would recommend you to all our friends/family etc. "

C. Jones, USA - Ilikai Unit 1818

"I would like to thank you for a wonderful stay! Our family absolutely loved the condo. What a fantastic view and a very central location.The kitchen had everything we needed and then some. It was great having the futon as we have 2 teenage girls, so one had one bed and the other had the futon. It was quite comfortable she said.The pool passes were right there when we arrived and it was so convenient to not have to check in. We just punched in the code sent to us and walked right in. There was no worry about keys!The big closet really came in handy for all of our stuff- luggage, etc.The condo was very clean- the bathroom was spic and span- no mould ( and I looked).Again, we can't say enough about the view- absolutely beautiful!We would certainly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again! "

J. Woodard, USA - Ilikai Unit 938

"I stayed at the Ilikai April 14-21, 2010. The condo was awesome! It looked just like it did in the pictures on the website. In fact, it looked even better in person. The bed was very comfortable, and the patio furniture was nice. I felt very much at home. The location is great, if you are going to stay on Oahu. It's on Waikiki, but not on the super crowded part of the beach. Loved it! "

Whitney, USA - Ilikai Unit 606

"Our stay in unit #2030 greatly surpassed our expectations. The condo was clean and spacious, with all the necessities of home. We had a generous supply of towels, soap, and paper products. The touch pad deadbolt lock system was an unexpected luxury, as we did not have to keep track of a hotel key. The full kitchen saved us a ton of money that we would have spent on breakfast and lunches. Our unit had spectacular ocean, lagoon, Diamond Head, and city views. After traveling for over 12 hours from Georgia, our condo allowed us the unexpected pleasure of spending our first night enjoying a bird's eye view of the Hilton's rooftop luau! The condo is a great place to enjoy pre-dinner cocktails, Friday night fireworks, and access to a less populated beach. We could walk from our end of Waikiki to activities we wanted to do on the other end within 30 minutes. Having Ala Moana Shopping Center for groceries, shopping, and food was also a money saving benefit.

This was my 4th visit to Oahu and it was a pleasant change to staying at high priced hotels and resorts. I feel that the condo gave us more space and food options and allowed us to splurge on island excursions and dinners. We didn't get that overcrowded, over commercialized sensation that comes along with hotels and resorts. Even if we did want a little of that, all we had to do was walk next door to the Hilton where this is in excess. Scott at Waikiki Oceanfront Rentals was always easily accessible and willing to accommodate. Our flight left at 9pm and the free late checkout option was a lifesaver. Scott allowed us to stay in the condo all the way up until we had to leave for the airport that evening. This gave us more time to enjoy Waikiki before we had to leave. We could never get that at a hotel. We have such wonderful memories of our 5th wedding anniversary on Oahu and the accommodations by through the WaikikiOceanfrontRentals.com website had a lot to do with that. I would recommend The Ilikai Hotel and the units on this website to anyone traveling to this part of Hawaii. Thank you! "


R. Wood, Savannah, Georgia - Ilikai Unit 2030

"The room was absolutely beautiful and completely exceeded our expectations. The views were spectacular and it made our pre-wedding and honeymoon the perfect spot to relax. It was fantastic that we could organize so many rooms so that all of our international guests could be close together. It made catching up over pre-dinner drinks and morning coffees so simple to be able to have them in the room and on the lanai's rather than in restaurants or coffee shops. Thanks so much for a great stay. We plan to return to Hawaii on our anniversaries and we will definitely stay at the ocean front rentals. Cheers and thanks again "

Kim, NSW, Australia - Ilikai Unit 1624

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Ilikai condo #1412 in February 2010. We liked the no frills of the hotel and the keyless entry was a plus. We would walk up and down the beach and checked out the other hotels and liked the easy access we had with the Ilikai. It will be nice though when a few shops fill in on the main floor. It felt a little empty at times. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai and with the view of the lagoon and ocean. The location of the condo at the end of Waikiki beach was perfect for us especially on Friday night with the fireworks. Close to the Ala Moana shopping center, which we walked to almost daily. The center had all the shops you could want and Foodland grocery which really saved us money with eating breakfast and lunches in the condo. We walked on the beach daily and walked to Diamond head. Took the local bus to Pearl Harbor, $2.25 round trip. We were impressed how clean Waikiki was and felt safe whenever we were out. This was a trip to relax and that was exactly what we did. "

Deb, Alaska - Ilikai Unit 1412

"Just a note to thank Cindy for making our stay at the Ilikai a friendly and enjoyable time. All our needs were met . The condo was great. There was everything we needed just as was advertised. We got great value for our money. My husband and myself would recommend condo #518 as it has a nice view of the lagoon and ocean. The booking on line with Scott was easy and he was always helpful. Thanks again "

Carol, British Columbia, Canada - Ilikai Unit 518

"We certainly did enjoy our stay at the Ilikai and would stay with you again in a heartbeat. Although you are located at the far end of the beach, a short walk from all the action, that was one of the best things! We could walk into the shopping area anytime of day or night, enjoy the sights, the noise from all the entertainment, the people watching, stopping for a bite or a drink and then return to the condo by walking the length of the beach and then sit on our lanai with those spectacular views of the marina and ocean while we enjoyed a nightcap. You have your choice of beaches starting with the Hilton next door and continuing all the way down the strip towards Diamond Head. I must admit that one of our favorite spots was a short walk in the other direction to Ala Moana Park and Magic Island, what a wonderful, expansive family park. We will return to the Ilikai, soon! "

Maureen, Victoria, BC Canada - Ilikai Unit 1908

"Quintessential Hawaii - Great apartment, good facilities, outstanding location. the owners were a pleasure to deal with; very professional. Recommend unreservedly.

We have arrived back in Sydney now and this is just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our visit to Hawaii. Your apartment suited our needs perfectly; it was a terrific apartment, great facilities and a good location. And thanks once again for your easy-going help with the wireless internet; much appreciated. "


Michael, Sydney, Australia - Ilikai Unit 426

"We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Illikai in condo unit 2020 while in Honlulu/Waikiki. This was our third time in Waikiki, but only our first staying in a condo unit. Both other times, we stayed in a hotel on Waikiki Beach. Although we enjoyed our stays at both these places, we LOVED staying in the condo for the flexibility and ease it afforded us. The Illikai is a very well kept and lovely older building, situated in a prime location on the beach. The unit we stayed in had a lovely oceanfront view with large lanai and updated, clean and comfortable living area. I would HIGHLY recommend this unit and this building in fact, to anyone. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable! Mahalo "

Viv & Brad, Winnipeg, Canada - Ilikai Unit 2020

"We did enjoy our stay at our suite. It was well kept and well located. We did use our car quite a bit so parking was a bit of a hassle if you didn't want to pay through the nose every day.. Other than that the grounds were nice. I'd probably paint over the teal panels on the balcony's on the outside of the building and go to a sand color. Teal makes the building look dated even thought it was quite well maintained. We wouldn't have a problem recommending the building to anyone. Thanks Again. "

Paul, USA - Ilikai Unit 2006

"I just wanted to say that our unit was superb! The five of us stayed in unit 938 for a family vacation. This was my 4th time to Waikiki and we've always stayed at a hotel. I much preferred staying at this condo.
The size of the unit was adequate, especially since we really only used it for sleeping and eating breakfast. The kitchen was great because we cooked a big breakfast each morning, which lasted us until supper (lots of places to eat). The dishwasher was a big plus! We purchased our supplies at an ABC store around the corner and did make a run to Foodland a couple of times at the Mall (15 min walk). The view from the balcony was absolutely spectacular!!. We were literally right on the beach. There was a clear view of the lagoon and ocean. It was great having a cup of coffee each morning enjoying the surf and even whales one morning! Just imagine what you would pay for such a view at the Hilton next door!

The front entrance/lobby lobby was fine...in fact it was quite nicely decorated with plants and fountains. The only reason I mention this is that some people were complaining about it. Some of the stores were closed up, but they were off to the side, so not a big deal. There are plenty of shops near by, so who needs to shop in a hotel. There were 6 elevators and there was one always waiting in the lobby. The outside of the building is a bit tired looking, but who cares...the unit was modern and completely renovated. The price of the unit was a steal...with 5, we were looking at 2 hotel rooms at more than three times the price!

Many restaurants and ABC's nearby if you need supplies. We rented a car one day and parked at the Marina behind the Ilikai. Note that prices went up a month ago to $1/hour, but still a bargain. The free WiFi and long distance calling in North America was a bonus.

We really enjoyed ourselves and I must say that this location was great value for money. I would stay here in a flash next time and would recommend it to any friends or family. I always worry about the mixed reviews I read on TripAdvisor, etc., but this unit will not disappoint. Highly recommended!
Aloha! "


Mike, Wendy & Kids, Ottawa, Canada - Ilikai Unit 938

"My stay at the Ilikai was perfect; I want to move in and live in unit 516! The furnishings were just as promised and the bed is what you would expect at a 5 star resort, this was very important to me. The staff is friendly and helpful, the lobby is beautiful and the location is convenient to everything I needed. I will be back for sure! Mahalo "

Barbara, Las Vegas, Nevada - Ilikai Unit 516

"My husand and I recently stayed at the Ilikai, unit #2028 for 2 1/2wks. It was everything we expected and more. This is our 4th time to Hawaii so we decided to rent a condo this time which was the best decision we made. It was nice to having a full kitchen with all the appliances, big and small. The location was excellent. I was able to go jogging at the Ala Moana Beach Park every morning which was only a 7 minute warm up away. The mall was a short walk away also. The condo was spotless and the 42" TV was perfect for my husband. Having free WIFI was very convenient for us. We were able to stay in touch with family and friends on a regular basis. We are looking forward to booking again next year at the same time. Mahalo! "

Enza, Toronto, Canada - Ilikai Unit 2028

"I wanted to let you know we had a fabulous time last week in apartment 426. We were able to access at 10.30am after a long flight from Australia & few dramas at the airport so it was nice to be able to just walk straight in without having to check-in or wait for keys. The apartment was better then the photos on the website, it was incredibly spacious had a great view of the lagoon & we enjoyed the sunsets from the balcony. Everything in the apartment appeared to be new & the bed in the main bedroom was heavenly. We will definitely be coming back for another stay at the Ilikai. "

Bernadette, Sydney, Australia - Ilikai Unit 426

"If you are looking for a "home away from home" like we were, it is definately the Ilikai. We travel to Hawaii annually and usually stay in one of the better hotels on the beach.We decided that we wanted to have breakfast and snacks in our "home" and therefore began looking for a condo type situation. After much research I found Scott at his office. Let me just point out that not all the units at the Ilikai are in Scott's care nor are they the same standard that he represents! He was VERY helpful and forthright and represented the Aloha spirit beautifully. We chose unit #1722 and it was EXACTLY as represented on the website! It was tastefully appointed, spotlessly clean (a big one for me) and well appointed from appliances and bedding to dishes and towels. A fabulous view and the onsite restaraunt (Sarenta's) was exceptional. Try the spaghetti and filet meatballs...........unreal! I cannot toot the Ilikai horn enough.................she is a grand dame that has been very well preserved and can give any of the newer hotels a good run. If you are looking for great value and very comfortable accomodations, you can't go wrong there. We look forward to seeing you next year "

Cindy and Gaston, Edmonton, Canada - Ilikai Unit 1722

"I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the wonderful experience. We stayed in the Sky Penthouse at the Ilikai over Christmas. I have been over to Hawaii numerous times over the years, always staying at a traditional hotel. I must admit, given everyone's fears about internet scams, it was a little stressful to make plans (particularly over Christmas) for a place to stay, 3500 miles and 12 hours of flying from home. All my fears were gone the moment we walked in the door. What an absolutely beautiful place! It's obvious you take care and pride in the product you provide. I can't say enough about the service you provided, the quality of the suite and the price. Everything was perfect. I hadn't even noticed that one of the blinds was slightly damaged from a previous occupant, when I received a phone call from you apologizing for the condition and that they were being replaced the next day. That's what I call service! Your guide book was great, we went to a few of the places you recommended, and they were great. By the way, you're absolutely right, the Wailana Coffee House truly has the oldest waitresses and the ugliest uniforms. The food on the other hand was excellent, and the price was right. We'll be back. Thanks again, "

Oliver & Shelagh, Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada - Ilikai Unit 2607

"We arrived on Saturday at around 11:00 pm. We were very happy to find that the directions and instructions were perfect and we had no problems getting into the room and settling in. We were also pleasantly surprised that the condo was so clean and well equipped. The welcome note was very helpful and informative. We could not be happier. The complex is also very quiet so we are able to get some well deserved rest and relaxation at night. The location of the condo is absolutely perfect to get to all amenities. We are a short walk from the mall and a short walk to the many shops. It also has quick and easy access to many restaurants. We are also very happy that there are no room keys to worry about. The keyless entry is extremely simple to use and there are no worries about losing keys on the beach or in the pool. The pool facilities are also very clean and enjoyable. The quick and easy access to the beach was also very easy to find and well maintained. We found that the staff working in and around the complex was always willing to help and give directions to us to make our trip more enjoyable. Thank you for everything. "

Nicole & Jennifer, Winnipeg, Canada - Ilikai Unit 1607

"We stayed at the Ilikai unit 1402 and we were really impressed ! The view is just amazing and the condo is really modern and comfortable. The bed and the pillows were really comfortable. The condo's furniture gives you everything you could need. Every accomodation (grocery, shopping mall, beaches, pool,etc.) is at the proximity of the hotel. WaikikiOceanfrontRentals was very disponible to respond to our questions and he was also really adapting. Renting this unit was the best move we could do. We will recommand the Ilikai's units to everyone we know. Thank you very much ! "

Florence, Montreal, Quebec Canada - Ilikai Unit 1402

"My wife and I were very pleased with our stay at the Ilikai. Everything was so easy. It was like we lived there! No hassels with the front desk. We walked to our unit, entered the code on the keypad and walked on in. The room was great for us. Near the beach and good restaraunts. We didn't have to rent a car. We chose to one day to go up north to the country. The rental place was about a block from the building! Easy, easy, stress free vacation. We will definately come back. "

Joel & Melissa, Anchorage, Alaska - Ilikai Unit 2016

"Our room and condo could have not been perfect and we had a wonderful stay meeting our adopted grandson. The location was a real plus and both units were clean and modern. I would not hesitate recommending the units to anyone who asks. "

Sandy, Palm Beach, Florida - Ilikai Unit 2039 & 1318

"I just wanted to say thank you for everything. My Dad really enjoyed his stay at the Ilikai. Unfortunately my Mom was not able to make it as she had to cancel out the day before the trip due to my grandmother becoming ill. That was my Dad's 5th trip to Hawaii and I am sure it won't be the last. He was quite happy with the room, it was very clean and nice. We will definitely be staying there on our next trip. Thnx again. If you ever decide to come up to Canada's North let me know. "

Victoria, Whitehorse, Canada - Ilikai Unit 518

"We really enjoyed our stay in Ilikai condo #938 during October 18-25, 2009. This was our 2nd stay in Ilikai in 2009. Both times we received the best assistance by condo rental management (Scott), the condo was clean and provided us with everything that we could possibly need during our stay. The communication from condo management was always prompt and very descriptive. I highly recommend choosing Ilikai condo over any hotel in Waikiki and will definitely stay here again in the future. "

Marina, Pleasant Hill, California - Ilikai Unit 938

"We just returned to Calgary, Canada after two wonderful weeks at the Illikai. The location, building and the unit we rented was great and we can not say enough positive things about it. We usually look for and rate three categories, - the product, the service and the price. The Illikai comes in very positive in all three categories. We do not hesitate to highly recommend the Illikai. And Scott, thank you for all your personal help and advise throughout the entire process. "

Jonas, Calgary, Alberta, Canada - Ilikai Unit 1629

"Ilikai unit 2603 is an exceptionally and beautifully cared for penthouse and our stay in this penthouse was wonderful! Our first impression when we walked in was that it was fresh, crisp, spacious and very much up to date. The unit was sparkly clean, superbly decorated and the beds were especially comfortable as well as all the linens and pillows that were provided. The kitchen was well stocked and also the laundry area with all the detergent we needed. All that was needed was for us to do was pick up a few essential such as water, coffee, tea and cream and whatever food items we felt we wanted.We also enjoyed the use of Valet Parking at the Ilikai. They were always right there as soon as we pulled up to help us out. A rental car enabled us to see the rest of the island.It was great!!!!! Thank you for all your help in our leasing Unit 2603. We were very much at home and comfortable in this unit. We had a real grand time and will definitely boast about our stay in 2603!!! "

Ruth and Ron, Atlanta GA

"We stayed at the Ilikai unit 1624 and had a great time! The view is amazing of the ocean and the Hilton's Lagoon. Reflections of palm trees in the water was great to wake up to, as you could see the view from in bed. The unit was very clean and comfortable. The bed was especially comfortable. The kitchen had almost everything you could need for most basic meals. We ate breakfast and lunch at the unit almost every day. We could have made dinner if we had wanted but there were so many great restaurants in Waikiki. We tried The Shorebird, The Yard House, Senor Frogs and Round Table Pizza. All restaurants had really tasty food. The proximity of unit 1624 at the Ilikai was awesome. We walked around the Lagoon and onto the oceanfront walkway on a daily basis and would often go back along the main street to do some shopping. We will definitly book this unit again when we come back to Hawaii. As I write this I am sitting on the lanai and it just doesn't get any better than this. "

Adrienne and Patrick, Vancouver, Canada - Ilikai Unit 1624

"Our two reservations, direct from owner, at the Ilikai Resort (on the 8th floor) from WaikikiOceanfrontRentals.com. were fantastic! The location was great, being on the ocean and within walking distance to shopping, dining, the zoo, aquarium and other attractions. We ate breakfast, lunch and cooked about half of our dinners in the condo, and ate out at nearby restaurants for the balance of our meals. The free books at ABC contain coupons for just about every restaurant in the area. We rented a car to explore the rest of the island, and found affordable parking at the marina on site for $6 per 24 hour period. One of our condos had an ocean view and offered a bird's eye view of the Luau at the Hilton across the way! We will definitely return next year. Highly recommended, and five stars for value!!!!!!."

Jane, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

"We wanted to send you an email to let you know how much we enjoyed staying in your unit. It was everything you said and we were more pleased than expected to be. The location was perfect for us (and convenient). We have recommended the Ilikai and your units to several people should they have plans to visit Honolulu....And, thank you for the great weather."

Brian & Betty, Montana

"I just wanted to let you know that my two sisters and I truly enjoyed our stay at the Ilikai last month. We stayed in 1607 and other than not having an ocean view, it was perfect. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai and just watching the people on the street and looking at the beautiful sites.

We enjoyed the Hawaiian band on Friday night and then the fireworks. The valets were so courteous and really extra nice. We are coming back to Honolulu later this year and we hope that we can get an affordable unit at the Illaiki. I recommend the Ilikai to anyone who wants the perfect home away from home. Also, Angie, the conceige, was so nice and helpful. We met in the lobby one day after arrival and she remembered my name after just one meeting. I would give the Ilikai a 5 out of 5 rating. Stay there!!!! You won't regret it."

"We endured the tedious 18+hours indirect flight to Hawaii from London to attend a wedding in Waikiki. Honestly, our initial feeling based on the website was that this place sounded too good to be true, We've heard it all before in all those travel shows. We also had a slight fear that it wasn't going to be as described once we got there and it is worth noting that we've travelled up and down the Caribbean already. Boy were we in for a surprise! We stayed at the marvellous Unit 1414 ocean front room which was like a home away from home, the kitchen and bedding get full marks including the DVD which kept my little girl happy watching Dora the Explorer.

The world famous "Aloha spirit" must be experienced. It starts with Scott at the beginning who offered fair advice (even though it was his business to get my business), followed by the unbelievable and endless warmth of the Hawaiian people wherever you go and not to mention Syndi on our last day in paradise who allowed us to check out late without too much hassle. We had relatives staying at the nearby Halekulani Hotel, which is supposed to be one of the best Hotels in Waikiki and I visited some of their rooms and can honestly say I won't swap mine for theirs. The location is also superb with the Ala Moana Centre, KOBE & Beni Han Japanese and the best ice cream at the Hilton Hawaiian Village all within a few yards. We only had 10 unforgettable days but If ever we're fortunate to make the Aloha trip of a lifetime again, we'll certain revisit the Ilikai."

"We booked 7 rooms in all with this company and Scott did an excellent job with our accommodations. With one exception all the rooms were just as shown on the website. We did have one discrepancy and Scott took care of everything right away. Our office runs on the "high maintenance" side of things and everyone walked way stating they thought the rooms/views were outstanding. No small feat with our group, lol. Check out the website and you can view the rooms for yourself. WaikikiOceanfrontRentals.com We stayed on the marina side of the complex 17 floor. Our view was amazing, the bed was so comfortable and the room was clean and quiet. If you decided to stay at the llikai I think you will find it the best bang for your buck. I spent hours and hours on other sites and this was, we felt better than the rooms at the Hilton. I never did send Scott a thank you so I am cc this e-mail to him. Thanks Scott, for everything you did. I really appreciate your professionalism."

"I just wanted to send you a short note to tell you how much I enjoyed my trip to Hawaii and staying in condo 1607. Condo unit 1607 was a delight, and half of the week I did not leave the property due to my health, I made a daily trip to the pool to exercise, an every other day to the ABC store for food and kitchen needs, one trip to the Ala Mona Shopping Center, I ate out at The top if the I (Sarento's) twice and that food and service has not changed any over the years, I did take friends from Kahala over to the North Shore to eat at Jamison's which is a treat anytime, and one day I had lunch at the Beach Cafe at the Halekulani Hotel.

Back to the condo, The bed was very comfortable, The interior furnishings were more than expected and very professionally selected for the guest's complete comfort. I was impressed with the extra items, from appliances to the quality of the linens. All in all I had a very nice stay, I'm planning to return to the Islands in September to go Marlin Fishing off the Kona coast, and I will plan to stay at the Ilikai on the Oahu portion of that trip as well as any future trips to the Islands."

"Our condo at the Ilikai was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. The room was so beautifully and modernly furnished...linens, furniture, tv and all! Not to mention all appliances/utensils were all there; everything and anything you needed! It was an amazing experience having breakfast every morning on the lanai, enjoying the beautiful weather and ocean view. Not to mention Scott was the best! He was excellent with meeting customer satisfaction and answering all of our questions. This allowed us to have everything just the way we wanted and were looking for. Not to mention it also helped in making our trip nothing but the best vacation ever! Thanks Scott & waikikioceanfrontrentals! You have been awesome! Many thanks and take care :)"

Sarah - Seattle

"I would like to take a few moments to write of our recent experience with unit 1714.The unit was very clean, and was recently renovated. The beds were comfortable,and the linens were of a high quality. Although we could have parked nearby for a lesser cost, we opted for the valet parking because of convenience. All in all, I would recommend this rental to anyone, and would return again. Thank you for your excellent communication, as well."

"Our family had the best vacation ever and the location and unit was everything we could hope for. The unit was like brand new and the kids loved the big screen TV and DVD for their games and movies. I loved the large lanai and the great sunset views. Thanks again for letting us stay in your fantastic condo."

Robert - Chicago

"You have a client for life. I really appreciate you spending all that time answering all my questions about Waikiki and Oahu. The knowledge was wonderful and you save me a lot of money and worrying I would have gone through without you. Your service is professional, up to date and the unit was the best I've stayed in. I plan to go back later this year I loved it so much!"

Michelle - Nashville, Tennesee

"I would recommend anyone who travels to Honolulu for business to use WaikikiOceanfrontRentals.com. Your website and customer service is heads above the rest and I know as I've been going to Hawaii for business for over 5 years now and have been through them all. You treat us a like 5 star client and we really do thank you for going the extra mile for us. The units are immaculate, high quality all the way down to the sheets, I like the work desk with high speed dsl for each unit which is so much better than slow hotel networks that makes work almost impossible. Thanks again and we'll see you again in 2 months."

Dean - Los Angeles

"Waikiki is awesome and we never wanted to leave. We had a blast hitting all the restaurants, especially Dukes and Roys, the bars and the wife loved the shopping, don't miss the huge flea market at Aloha Stadium, a shuttle bus will pick you up for only $12rt. The condo was great, loved the kitchen, that alone saved us hundreds of dollars having breakfast and lunch there so we could spend more for nice dinners. First class condo and even better service."

Marcia - Vancouver, Canada

"WaikikiOceanfrontRentals is great. You went out of your way to arrange 5 units for us and spent countless hours helping me arrange my wedding accomedations for all my guests.

All of us were impressed with the units and you help make this the best wedding ever...thanks forever."

"We stayed in the Sky Penthouse and it was everything advertised. We give it five stars for quality and comfort, and the kitchen was a dream. We will return again."

Bill - Texas

"I've been going to the Ilikai for 10 years now and sometimes I get a decent unit and sometimes a bad unit. Your units are excellent and I love the free calls to Canada and the customer service you provide my wife and I, excellent job all around. You have a client for life."
