The following review(s) were provided by the property manager.
Paradise with a view!
The condo was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots & pans and appliances. Loved the view from the lanai. Close to shops and restaurants in Waikiki and right on the beach. Enjoyed dinners at Roy’s, the grill at the Outrigger, Tommy Bahama’s and some good pupus and great jazz at Lewers Lounge next door. The only slight complaint was the couch, which was a little uncomfortable. We would definitely return.

Fantastic Location
The staff at Ali Beach Rentals are very efficient and attentive to our needs.<br/>The location and view this condo has was perfect.<br/>To say it sleeps 4 is a bit of a stretch, there is a king bed but the couch that opens up for a 2nd bed is too small for 2 adults - luckily there was just 3 of us.<br/>The condo provided 2 beach chairs which we really appreciated!!<br/>The condo was very nice inside, with the exception of the bathroom could use some painting and updating - although it’s not a dealbreaker for the 3 of us to stay in this condo again next year !!

Amazing Location!
Excellent stay. Great location, on the quiet end of Waikiki. Right on the beach. Beautiful view. VERY clean and quiet. Just as described (yes a few things were older but nothing that effected our stay). Kitchen had everything we needed, bathroom had a few starter things, even beach chairs were provided. It was just 2 of us, so the size was perfect (even large for 2 people) and the bed was very comfortable. The lanai was great. We shut the air conditioner off and left the doors to the lanai open the entire time.....loved it!<br/>Rental company was easy to connect with and even greeted us on arrival. A hidden gem. We would stay here again.<br/>(only suggestion.....put something in the shower to put the soap and shampoo on)

Just a Fantastic Place to stay
Very well appointed with everything that you need for a short or long terms stay (we were there for 2 weeks). It is clean, updated and spacious. The staff are friendly and helpful - both the leasing company and the building staff. The property is older, but the unit itself is updated. The view is AMAZING - you get an unobstructed western ocean viewpoint and the park next door. As the day gets quieter, you can hear the whoosh whoosh of the waves. The building is directly on the beach, with a little mall inside for necessaries. The location is perfect - 2 mins walk to shopping, dining, everything you want. We would absolutely rent this unit again. I can only suggest at least one more armchair/loveseat in the living area; there is plenty of space for it and a single sofa is limiting for two people to have to sit side by side at all times.

View and location .... a “5” rating- needs some maintenance!
Location and view are a definite “5” ! Maintenance rating would have to be a 3-, due to broken balcony chair, missing tiles in the balcony making it a trip hazard and a loose and wobbly toilet. Missing key fab upon arrival, and television not working we’re an inconvenience - management company took care of it next day. So, I would say a 3 rating for those items. I would rate the furniture a low 3 as well due to squeaky dining room chairs and broken chair in balcony. The safe was not useable as it needed a key, would recommend they get a code safe . It wAs clean for the most part. Overall, I would stay again for the location.

Waikiki Shores Condo Rental
Property showed its nearly 40 year construction - cracked grout lines, missing window louvre handles, lots of interior corrosion around windows from poor seals, and in one instance - a missing louvre entirely (which attracted birds of all sizes to try and get inside until we stuffed a beach towel to block entry and air flow). Very noisy traffic and next door construction location. And without warning, the water was turned off in the whole building for a half day forcing us to use portable toilets outside the entrance lobby. We will not return! Management was also virtually non-existent.

This place needs some work!
This unit has a spectacular view and the building is in a great location. This is the only reason why I stay there. The unit itself needs a lot of work. The furniture is outdated, the carpet is worn out, there are marks on the walls, the tile is badly cracked on the lani, the toilet seat is a mess, the shower head leaks and has poor water pressure and there is a window pane missing allowing noise and warm air to enter the unit. There is also rats nest of wires around the TV/WiFi that looks awful. I have stayed in this unit at least 10 times and may not return due to these issues. It's a shame that it is not kept in better condition given what they charge for it.

Awsome Stay
As soon a you walk in you see the beatiful view from the floor to ceiling windows/sliding door to the balcony. View of the beach park, mountain and city. Even tho the Bedroom is separated by a sliding door it was very spacious, bathroom was big and nice, counter and sink updated with washer/dryer. Kitchen had been updated , had big sink. The only thing for us was that the sofa was more of a futon not really a pull out bed. Building was very secure, could not enter any door/gate without a sensor tag also nobody could go up on the elevator <br/> Whithout scanning the scan code. We stayed in #1012. Downstairs there’s a couple of quick eateries and a shave ice place , there’s also a man selling tours and a souvenirs store. Great location , walking distance to the Hilton Hawaiian lagoon and shops galore and restaurants, you can watch the Friday night fireworks from the balcony. Highly recommend<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>

Clean room, lovely view, well equipped kitchen
Pros — stated in the title<br/><br/>Cons — <br/>* linens and towels heavily scented with supermarket detergent and dryer sheet smell <br/><br/> * Not sure if this is an unusual occurrence but our linens and all towels smelled like the cleaning agent overdosed the laundry detergent and dryer sheet scent to where it was noticeable while sleeping and just touching the towels left the scent on your skin. A personal preference would be no scent but this may not be an issue for others (or if you are allergic to this sort of thing it may be a big issue).<br/><br/>* Need a key fob to access secondary lobby and elevator floor selection. Make sure you contact the agent and inform them when you will arrive at the building so that they can give you a key fob to access the secondary lobby and elevator floor selection, otherwise you'll be standing by waiting asking tenants if they can let you in and take you to your floor.<br/><br/><br/>More Pros — <br/><br/>* This is a very convenient location to walk southeast the quieter areas of Waikiki beach and also to main shopping and dining areas on Kalakua Ave.<br/>* The apartment has a very home like feeling, not like a boring hotel room.<br/>

Waikiki Shore Ocean Front 1BD, 10th floor
We had a fabulous vacation. We love the location and having our own space. The view is what sells the location. Fireworks and enjoying coffee in the morning. Kitchen was set up but could use a few more glasses. If you used one for breakfast you needed to wash for lunch. The bathroom was set up well but the drain had issues with drainage and one of the seals on the shower was falling. This was not a no go issue. If you have a car, the tip about renting for month was helpful. Rent has gone up however. We found it easier to rent from Enterprise next door at the Outrigger and return in the evening. Unfortunately we had a few cool evenings and could have used a extra blanket. Overall, I would rate this rental a 10 as we loved our vacation and can not wait to return! Aloha until next time.

Week in Waikiki
The unit meet our needs 100%. The size was just right, the view was outstanding, the kitchen was well supplied. The shower didn't drain well, maintenance came right away, but the problem returned. Hopefully it was fixed for the next guests. A major issue was the number of missing panels in the blinds. This made it difficult to keep the light out in the early morning and the sun in the afternoon. Bottom line is that the blinds should be replaced. They also didn't open and close well.

The Waikiki shores is our favourite condo bldg in Waikiki. Convenient, quiet and on the beach and what we were looking for. The condo was very well equipped, clean and newly renovated. Chloe from Ali'i was very professional and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. Only drawback was one elevator was being replaced so the 2nd elevator was busy and over used, resulting in it breaking down quite a few times. Also,although there is security at night and a safe in the condo, I would have felt safer if there was a deadbolt on the door.

Unit 1012 is a fantastic location with great views and aspect. The unit was very well stocked with generous towels, bedding,and kitchen equipment (although an electric kettle would be useful). It is in central Waikiki without being overly crowded as it seems to be closer to Queens Beach. Having Fort de Russy park right next door and the Hilton village and lagoon gave it an open vista and green space rather than being boxed in by skyscrapers. Great eateries of all budgets within a block or two plus close the Royal Hawaiian shopping and hotel complex. We were delighted with our choice.

Great view and great location
Overall a great experience. Spectacular view. Wonderful to have a washer and dryer. A few suggestions would include: check the condition of the kitchen utensils and supplies. The cutting board needs to be replaced. It has reached the point where using it would be unhealthy. The kitchen scissors do not open. The kitchen pots and pans and cooking utensils were marginal at best for preparing a dinner meal. The frying pan could be replaced. The grinding salt shaker does not function. It would be helpful to leave one extra roll of paper towels depending on the length of stay of rental guests. It would be helpful to have some Windex or all purpose kitchen cleaner. Some all purpose cleaners would be helpful to keep the condo healthy during an extended stay. (5 or more nights) <br/>You might want to inspect the condo after the cleaning crew. There is soap scum on the shower wall and a black moldy looking stuff around the base of the shower enclosure. It looks like mold could form if not addressed now. The tile under counter area in the kitchen needs to be swept and thoroughly cleaned. It would be helpful if all the shelves in the refrigerator door had front panels. Some are missing so they are not useful. Not sure who cleans the condo but you are not getting your money's worth now. I hope they bring their own cleaning supplies because there are really none to be found in the condo.

We only parked there for a day and a half and spoke to the gentleman at the front desk who informed us it was 40$ a day at the property location, you can imagine how upsetting this was. I did text her a few times after check in and still to this day have not heard back from her. Other than the lack of communication and information she provided us we did enjoy our stay. The money lost on the parking situation wasn't enough to ruin our trip but definitely wasn't ideal. It might be beneficial for the people working in the building to share parking procedures.

Location! Location! Location!
This property should have six stars. The view and the location are outstanding. The furnishings and decor are well done, with a recent remodel. There were several nagging maintenance issues that detracted, so I knocked it down to four stars. The smoke detector was hanging open and missing a battery, the key to the safe was missing, a few of the window mechanisms were broken, the vertices blinds had missing slats, and there were loose broken tiles in the kitchen. The manager was difficult to get hold of, but eventually they sent a maintainence guy, who fixed the smoke detector and found a spare safe key. I would still give this five stars, but the broken/missing items were so obvious that there is no reason they weren't taken care of.

Location Great, Apartment So-So
The location is fantastic, and the view is idyllic. We had an early morning rainbow from our lanai (balcony) on our second morning, and the park and the beach are just outside your door. The apartment was ok, but not great. The facilities are old and dated, and is doesn't seem like the apartment has had an upgrade in a while. Ali'i staff were generally nice and helpful, whereas the building lobby staff (not Ali'i) were completely indifferent to our presence and wouldn't lift a finger to help with anything. I purchased a one-month parking pass for the Fort DeRussy parking area, which is right across the street. Extremely convenient, and (in my opinion) worthwhile if you want a car and are there for more than a couple of days. Would we rent here again? Maybe. Great location.

Please donʻt let the rude hotel staff deter you away from us or our unit!! This is the only building with an unobstructed view of the ocean as it sits along Ft. DeRussy, that also means that the building is original too.

Perfect holiday - wonderful view.
Excellent view from 10th floor condo on beach. View of ocean- mountains and overlooking Fort De Russey park. Great to watch fireworks from balcony on Friday night. Close to shops and restaurants. Bus stop out the front of building. A couple of housekeeping issues - For health reasons mattress needs a mattress protector. More saucepans as small saucepan does not have a handle so very dangerous whilst cooking. Only one red wine glass and one white wine glass in unit. Stickers on glass door required as I walked into glass door when it was closed . Safe in room but could not be used as there was not a key which is necessary for passports and valuables. We have stayed in this condo previouslyand would certainly stay here again. Excellent customer service from <br/>Alli Beach Rentals. Thank you .

Perfect Waikiki Beach view and location
View, accommodation and location can't be beat. BUT . . . It is not a one bedroom. The king bed etc is separated from living room by accordion screen - not sound or light proof. NO PARKING. Across street is public parking for $70/night unless you get $180 monthly that includes night and in and out entry.

The Condo is really great. Beautiful view, nice kitchen, great lanai, okay bed which is really hard but the shower is not up to par to the rest of the condo. No air in the bathroom, the shower does not have a bath mat which means for older couples you have a problem with slipping because the water is so soft that when you wash it becomes very, very slippery. The security is excellent and easy to manage. The furniture is not real comfortable but its okay and the TV needs adjusting. Great place to walk to many, many restaurants and bars and shopping.

Eleven days on the tenth floor
This was our second stay in Waikiki Shores. We enjoy the view and the quiet location. Four rolls of toilet paper for 11 days seemed a little inadequate, but other amenities were plentiful. DVD player was hooked up incorrectly, but we managed to fix that as well as change a light bulb. Never did figure out how the wall switches worked the lamps. Air Con has a drip where the doors open so we did get our feet wet a couple of times. One of the elevators had to be fixed twice while we were there!

A quiet and compact retreat in busy Waikiki
Situated on the quiet and open side of the apartment building this unit was excellent. The facilities were all very clean and fresh and the outlook over the park next door meant that there was very little traffic or crowd noise. Proximity to the beach was great and outdoor showers on the ground floor meant that getting the sand and salt dispersed was easy. A great place to stay if you want to be part of the busy hubbub of Waikiki and a tranquil haven from all of it at the same time.

Overall a great experience. Spectacular view. Wonderful to have a washer and dryer. A few suggestions would include: check the condition of the kitchen utensils and supplies. The cutting board needs to be replaced. It has reached the point where using it would be unhealthy. The kitchen scissors do not open. The kitchen pots and pans and cooking utensils were marginal at best for preparing a dinner meal. The frying pan could be replaced. The grinding salt shaker does not function. It would be helpful to leave one extra roll of paper towels depending on the length of stay of rental guests. It would be helpful to have some Windex or all purpose kitchen cleaner. Some all purpose cleaners would be helpful to keep the condo healthy during an extended stay. (5 or more nights) <br/>You might want to inspect the condo after the cleaning crew. There is soap scum on the shower wall and a black moldy looking stuff around the base of the shower enclosure. It looks like mold could form if not addressed now.

Unit 1012 is a fantastic location with great views and aspect. The unit was very well stocked with generous towels, bedding,and kitchen equipment (although an electric kettle would be useful). It is in central Waikiki without being overly crowded as it seems to be closer to Queens Beach. Having Fort de Russy park right next door and the Hilton village and lagoon gave it an open vista and green space rather than being boxed in by skyscrapers. Great eateries of all budgets within a block or two plus close the Royal Hawaiian shopping and hotel complex. We were delighted with our choice. The surfboard locker is handy although more spaces required and the brackets are rusting.
