Ifyou look at my history you know I enjoy staying at that location! But this time not so much!Place had dirt on patio,under sofa, saw a couple roachs,could not open or lock patio door. Rington saved my trip! Items in place were broken, No instruction book on TV.. Parking lot is a mess! 2 cars in one spot! a 3/4 ton truck in space behind me. Needs inspection after the cleaning crew is there!Was not ready to rent!A quick inspection and all could have been avoided! It should not cost customers their vacation time to get repairs done!Put the intro binders back in room so people don't have to spend hours to figure out the cable Tv system!

Just right for our family
This condo was perfect for our family of 3. The free parking and kitchenette with stove and refrigerator were great for our vacation on a budget. We were able to make breakfasts there, while we ate out and explored the island for the rest of our meals. The parking space is small. So consider that if choosing a rental vehicle. The condo itself isn't super modern, but it was clean and comfortable. Loved that the location is tucked away, but still within walking distance to most things in Waikiki. Plus the food trucks outside were really good for a quick bite! The rental company was quick to respond and gave good instructions for check in/check out. Would stay there again.

Just enough space for 2
My son and I loved our stay at the Cabana at Waikiki. It was just enough room for both of us. The unit had all the cooking utensils and cleaning items we needed throughout the week. There are a couple of food trucks parked out front if you decide you don't want to cook. The ABC store is around the corner and has everything you need. We would definitely stay here again.

Insect trail but otherwise good location and clean
Location was perfect since it was right along Waikiki beach. The accommodations were clean and I appreciated that a vacuum was also provided for the sand that we ended up tracking in every day. The only gripe we have was with the way the insect trail/infestation was handled. The first night we noticed 5-10 little ant-like insects (we think they may be termites) crawling from the window of the bathroom to the sink/cabinet area. We called and left messages for management multiple times over the next 12 hours before they called back and left a voicemail, saying they were gonna give us a can of bug spray. We ended up spraying the area when we got back and then had an infestation the next day...what started out as 5-10 insects grew to become 50-100. Seeing as our vacation was almost over and the insects weren't actually ON our belongings, we left it alone but it was still unsettling to have a ton of insects swarming the bathroom walls (we also have a video if VRBO was interested in reviewing it).

Close to the beach!!
We had a very nice time and stay. The property is only two short blocks away from the beach. There’s also food trucks at the end of the block and an ABC store at the corner. Things to note: #1 there’s no elevator. The room is located on the second floor but the stairs aren’t too steep and the room is located right when you get to the top of the stairs. #2 it can be noisy at night due to people walking up and down the street but we didn’t mind it at all. #3 it does come with parking (huge plus) but any car/truck bigger than midsize might be hard to get in and out of the parking garage. #there are washers/dryers downstairs. Make sure you have quarters and laundry detergent. #4 there was no hand soap. Only a small bar of soap. I ended up buying hand soap from the ABC biggie! Just wish I would have known ahead of time. Other than that, our stay was great! We walked to the beach every day and ate at the food trucks!! I met the owner of the building a couple of times and he was super friendly. I would definitely book this rental again.

You get what you pay for
It was clean, having a kitchen was helpful especially since everything everywhere is full of people it’s nice to take your meal back to the room and eat in peace. The only bad thing about this place was the parking. Yes it’s free but you’re spot is designated or you get towed. We’ll we came back everyday from our activities to a different car parked in our spot, no person to report it to and no idea what to do besides park in someone else’s stall and get them mad.

Good location if you want to be in the centre of the action
The property managers were very helpful and responsive! We did not have any issues with checking in or out. We also met the owner and he was a very nice and funny! <br/>The location of the property is ideal for those who wants to be in the middle of an action. The beach and all shops, restaurants, and entertainment is right behind the corner. We picked this location because it was convenient to get to a bunch of great hikes next to Honolulu. <br/>The place is clean and has pretty much everything you need, plus working AC which is so needed! The kitchen is not huge but has all essentials. Oh and parking! Finding a place with a parking was pretty much impossible so we were very happy to have one.<br/>We were only missing beach chairs which would’ve been great to have.<br/>

The condo was pretty much as described. The kitchen is very basic, pretty funky, but clean. One burner on the stove did not work. The bathroom was clean, and loads of towels.

Excellent and fast WiFi, good TV. The best aspect of this property is the location. One block from the beach and right on the edge of the large shopping district. Close to many great reataurants and bars. Also, the unit includes parking which is HUGE in this part of Honolulu Communicaion with Alii beach rentals before hand was good.

My Happy Place in Waikiki
This is my happy place in Waikiki. I have stayed at Cabana Waikiki twice before, and it will be my first choice when I come back to Honolulu. For me, it is the ideal location in Waikiki. The apartment is light and breezy and quiet. We would work remotely in the mornings (quiet, good WiFi). We did not use the AC at all. Instead, we would open the windows in front and the lanai door and enjoy the breeze provided by the trade winds and the ceiling fan. True, there is not an grand view from the lanai, but there is enough green to make it feel cozy. And it is secluded enough that we were comfortable sleeping with the lanai door open to the breezes.<br/><br/>There is a Biki Bike (bike rental) stand at the end of the block. Safeway and Foodland are short rides away, making it easy to cook for ourselves. On Saturday mornings there is a farmer's market at the elementary school a block away. Kapiolani Park and the beach are a very short walk (two streets) away. <br/><br/>The apartment was clean and well maintained. The management is very responsive and friendly. This is the third unit I have stayed in, and each unit has matched its description and photos.<br/><br/>Recommendations:<br/>Biki Bike. Get the app. Rentals are inexpensive and there are stations all over Honolulu. We did not rent a car the week we were in Honolulu.<br/><br/>Lulu's Restaurant. Right around the corner on Kalakaua Ave., across from the beach. Reasonable prices and an open view to the ocean.<br/><br/>Leonard's. World famous malasadas (Portuguese fried donuts) On Kapahulu across from Safeway.<br/><br/>Kaimana Farm Cafe & Deli. On Kapahulu across from Safeway. Small, local cafe. Good, local food at good prices.<br/><br/>Mami's Empanada stand. At the end of Cartwright St., mere meters from Cabana Waikiki. Excellent empanadas and prices. Open at lunch and in the evenings.

Comfortable, quiet old-school Waikiki
We have stayed at The Cabana many times over the years and continue to seek it out. We love the location at the end of Waikiki right at Kapiolani Park by the zoo. Near clubs, bars, restaurants, etc if that's what you want, but quieter and easy to stay out of the crowds if that's more your thing. Spacious (a junior one-bedroom), it's great to have a full kitchen, especially when staying a couple of weeks as we did. We chose this unit as it has a parking space, which many at Cabana do not.

A week in paradise
My family of four had a great time in Hawaii. The condo was perfect for what we needed. We loved having a kitchen, toaster, microwave and 12 cup coffee pot so we could try different Hawaiian coffees everyday. I loved the gated free parking with a reserved spot. This allowed us to rent a car to see all of the island. We rented a Ford Flex, which was the perfect size for the parking garage. Anything bigger would not fit well. The location was superb. 2 blocks to the beach and shopping. Right next to the zoo. At night there are multiple food trucks on the street to choose from but also walking distance to restaurants or fast food. The air conditioning kept the place cool and both rooms had ceiling fans. Would definitely stay here again. Checking in and out was a breeze. Thanks for the wonderful week in paradise.

Winter getaway
We had a lovely five week stay at Cabana Waikiki. The suite mates was as shown in pictures. We found it neat and well equipped. There was a surplus of dishes in cupboards which left minimal room for our groceries storage. We would have liked more storage for our clothing as well. We appreciated that there were beach chairs there for us. The location was great. Very close to beach and waikiki's strip but provided us with a quiet retreat in evenings. If we were to make suggestions for improvements we would suggest a more secure lock on sliding Lanai door ( my husband had to tighten the screws daily to keep lock attached to the door) and we found a futon couch very uncomfortable to sit on. Our neighbours had a sofa bed in their suite and it was a much better option. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

The lanai overlooked the recycle yard of the neighbouring apartments. <br/><br/>The king size bed was very comfortable, and the 3 minute walk to the beach was very good.

Simple answer for rate increase, little tricky when you book at 3rd party site, but the price advertised is an average rate for the season. Once you select your dates, the price may decrease or increase depending on factors like occupancy levels and time of year. Hope this helps!

Our First Time in Hawaii
Instruction to access the rental was very good. Everything went well. The first impression of the rental was that it was dark...blinds were broken, windows dirty, lighting was poor. Appreciated the excellent bed, clean fridge. Did find some ants and bugs. Sofa was very uncomfortable. TV worked great. Had to have help to access wifi. Air conditioning was fixed.

Feedback
First,the property is not as nice as it shows in the pictures. The hard floors, restrooms, kitchen counters were very nice and clean. A/C were good. However, the carpets were very dirty as well as the sofa and futon. Mattresses were very nice and comfortable but the pillows were very bad, big but too soft. <br/>in 204, would you like to wake up in the morning and see cockroaches walking on your head dresser? Or on the kitchen Counter around and under the coffee pot? That alone spoiled the 12 days we were there.<br/>In unit 205, kitchen faucet had to be changed while we were renting it for an old leak that should have been taken care of months prior. The damaged floor in the cabinet proofs that! <br/>It took 3 days to get the TV to work properly so that we could see the local news. The exterior stair light gives more light inside the unit during the night even with blinds closed, than the light we get inside the unit during the day.<br/><br/>Location, yes very convenient. However, the cleanliness outside around the corner was the worst in the whole block. Exterior stairs handrails could use a good pressure washing or serious scrubbing. Unfortunately, this is often very common when property management are not hands on and don't do self inspection on the regular basis. I say this because I own and I'm a hands on manager.

3-night stay at Cabana Waikiki
The stay at Cabana Waikiki was okay. I would have been disappointed if we planned to stay there longer than the 3 nights. The room was overall okay, but as others have mentioned there were small cockroaches. It could have felt cleaner and the photos are misleading as to how pristine the space is kept. The apt is on a narrow street near a bunch of other tall hotels, so there is absolutely no view. It is convenient to Waikiki Beach and the shopping, although we didn't partake in that.

We rented Cabana 204 Waikiki. We were very happy with the rental experience. Prior to check in any questions that we had were answered. I was impressed by the professionalism of the management for example inquiring if we had any questions or concerns on our first day. We were alerted again by email when a tropical storm was brewing and given instructions which was very helpful. The location is excellent, only a block from the beach and away from the crowds. We did the hike to Diamond Head walking to the site and back. The patio was a great option for sitting outside to eat. Having a blender was beneficial for making up tropical drinks after a day at the beach and Happy Hour! The kitchen has all that you need to make up meals and we loved that option. We did walk to Safeway to do our initial grocery shop and did find that the prices were reasonable in comparison to the Food Pantry, the local Wallmart or Foodland. There is a Farmer's Market on Sarurday near by which is another option for fresh produce. We were very happy with our stay and would come back again.

The room was very clean and was in a great location. Even though the lanai did not have a good view, it was private and a nice place to relax. The only thing that was a disappointment was I believed that the shutters for the room were movable. Unfortunately, they're actually screwed to the wall. To be fair, the person that made the reservation did warn me about this, but it was unclear to me, as I thought she only meant that the bedroom was not completely separated from the living room, not that there was no division at all between the bedroom and living room. All in all, a good experience!

A few suggestions... not meant for public review.
From the photo, we thought there was a sliding screen between the rooms, however it didn't matter to us. It was odd sitting on the couch seeing too much through the glass block wall (but not x-rated) of someone taking a shower. How about installing a sliding screen that could separate the rooms and , in open position, obscure the view of the shower? Also, there was only one chair in the kitchen area.<br/>Otherwise, everything was great. Nice large, thick towels. Plenty of basic supplies (tp, garbage bags, etc)and extras (cooler, beach chairs,boogie boards). We loved the location. Great for early morning swims at Sans Souci beach.

Perfect location and great value!
The location of the Cabana to Kuhio and Waikiki beaches, Honolulu Zoo, shops, restaurants, convenience stores, and bus stops was perfect. The condo unit was cozy and comfy for our family of four. The kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, dishware, glassware, and eating utensils. A pitcher or container would be nice to mix juice or iced tea. My only complaint was too much kitchenware that there was very little cabinet space as a food pantry to store our groceries. The parking space price of $15 per day was very reasonable for the Waikiki area; however, reserve a parking space early as there are limited spaces. We stayed at the Cabana Unit #204 for one week (7 nights) and paid the weekly rental rate. Even with the cleaning fee, our condo rental costs were considerably less than one of the nearby hotels and we had a full-size kitchen to save additional monies to prepare meals and store our left-overs. During the booking process, questions prior to check-in, check-in, and during our stay, the Ali'i Beach Rental staff (Gabi, Rita, Chloe, Suzie, and Lehua) were friendly, courteous, professional, replied promptly, and were wonderful to work with. The Ali'i Beach Rental app made the check-in process easy and provided great information about Honolulu and Oahu. Lastly, with security gates for the parking area and stairs, the Cabana was secure.

Sounds like you enjoyed your stay overall. We would have certainly provided you with more chairs, but it's not something we keep in storage. All the furniture we have are in the condos and are in the pictures we use to advertise this unit. This way guests know what furniture they're getting when they book. The reason we charge for late check out is because if a guest stays for any later than an hour or two past check out time we cannot have it cleaned in time to rent it out that night. This is the reason for the extra night charge however we do work with a luggage service that can pick up, store, and drop back your luggage so our guests can spend the day at the beach. Also Monday - Friday our guests can store luggage at our Waikiki office until 5pm. Just some suggestions for next time.

The Cabana at Waikiki was
We stayed at the Cabana at Waikiki in August 2015 and it was enough for three people (2 adults, one child). The place was clean when we arrived. There were plenty of other towels in the closet - including beach towels which we did use. The shower curtain lining and a couple of the towels should be replaced because they looked worn. Because this condo is typical of Hawaii (or the South or any tropical location) with Jalousie windows (think louvers but made of glass), it is not soundproof. Since the condo is located in Waikiki which is busy, you can hear a little street traffic, people talking in the street late at night and the garbage trucks and landscapers in the AM. So if you're a light sleeper, it's best to bring ear plugs. We also made use of the kitchen so we didn't have to eat out all the time. Overall, the accommodations were nice especially for the value - a lot cheaper than spending $200+/night in a hotel. We would consider staying at the Cabana at Waikiki again, but perhaps on a higher floor only because of the noise.

The lanai overlooked the recycle yard of the neighbouring apartments. <br/><br/>The king size bed was very comfortable, and the 3 minute walk to the beach was very good. The security was excellent and we felt very safe in the condo.<br/><br/>Overall a very nice location, but overstates the view significantly.<br/><br/>Dave & Leona<br/>

We had a lovely five week stay at Cabana Waikiki. The suite mates was as shown in pictures. We found it neat and well equipped. There was a surplus of dishes in cupboards which left minimal room for our groceries storage. We would have liked more storage for our clothing as well. We appreciated that there were beach chairs there for us. The location was great. Very close to beach and waikiki's strip but provided us with a quiet retreat in evenings. If we were to make suggestions for improvements we would suggest a more secure lock on sliding Lanai door ( my husband had to tighten the screws daily to keep lock attached to the door) and we found a futon couch very uncomfortable to sit on. Our neighbours had a sofa bed in their suite and it was a much better option. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

We wanted to be there when the USS Mississppi returned to see our son. Finding this condo was important to us, because we didn't want to spend an arm and a leg for a place to stay. The Cabana was the perfect place. They were very accommodating and helpful. The location was perfect and it was such a cute little condo. Checking in and out was so simple and the mobile app was very helpful. I will definitely be coming back and wouldn't hesitate to stay at their properties.

No hot water for 24 hours. Maintenance was on top of it and worked hard to fix issue. He called and emailed right away and kept me updated. When the hot water tank had to be replaced and plumbers were in and out of condo though I should have been given a price reduction or relocated.

We stayed at the Cabana at Waikiki in August 2015 and it was enough for three people (2 adults, one child). The place was clean when we arrived. There were plenty of other towels in the closet - including beach towels which we did use. The shower curtain lining and a couple of the towels should be replaced because they looked worn. Because this condo is typical of Hawaii (or the South or any tropical location) with Jalousie windows (think louvers but made of glass), it is not soundproof. Since the condo is located in Waikiki which is busy, you can hear a little street traffic, people talking in the street late at night and the garbage trucks and landscapers in the AM. So if you're a light sleeper, it's best to bring ear plugs. We also made use of the kitchen so we didn't have to eat out all the time. Overall, the accommodations were nice especially for the value - a lot cheaper than spending $200+/night in a hotel. We would consider staying at the Cabana at Waikiki again, but perhaps on a higher floor only b

The location of the Cabana to Kuhio and Waikiki beaches, Honolulu Zoo, shops, restaurants, convenience stores, and bus stops was perfect. The condo unit was cozy and comfy for our family of four. The kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, dishware, glassware, and eating utensils. A pitcher or container would be nice to mix juice or iced tea. My only complaint was too much kitchenware that there was very little cabinet space as a food pantry to store our groceries. The parking space price of $15 per day was very reasonable for the Waikiki area; however, reserve a parking space early as there are limited spaces. We stayed at the Cabana Unit #204 for one week (7 nights) and paid the weekly rental rate. Even with the cleaning fee, our condo rental costs were considerably less than one of the nearby hotels and we had a full-size kitchen to save additional monies to prepare meals and store our left-overs.

From the photo, we thought there was a sliding screen between the rooms, however it didn't matter to us. It was odd sitting on the couch seeing too much through the glass block wall (but not x-rated) of someone taking a shower. How about installing a sliding screen that could separate the rooms and , in open position, obscure the view of the shower? Also, there was only one chair in the kitchen area.<br/>Otherwise, everything was great. Nice large, thick towels.

The room was very clean and was in a great location. Even though the lanai did not have a good view, it was private and a nice place to relax. The only thing that was a disappointment was I believed that the shutters for the room were movable. Unfortunately, they're actually screwed to the wall. To be fair, the person that made the reservation did warn me about this, but it was unclear to me, as I thought she only meant that the bedroom was not completely separated from the living room, not that there was no division at all between the bedroom and living room. All in all, a good experience!

We rented Cabana 204 Waikiki. We were very happy with the rental experience. Prior to check in any questions that we had were answered. I was impressed by the professionalism of the management for example inquiring if we had any questions or concerns on our first day. We were alerted again by email when a tropical storm was brewing and given instructions which was very helpful. The location is excellent, only a block from the beach and away from the crowds. We did the hike to Diamond Head walking to the site and back. The patio was a great option for sitting outside to eat. Having a blender was beneficial for making up tropical drinks after a day at the beach and Happy Hour! The kitchen has all that you need to make up meals and we loved that option. We did walk to Safeway to do our initial grocery shop and did find that the prices were reasonable in comparison to the Food Pantry, the local Wallmart or Foodland. There is a Farmer's Market on Sarurday near by which is another option for fresh produce.
