The following review(s) were provided by the property manager.
NEEDS TLC!
This is the second time staying at this exact property and room. The first was about 4 years ago. I would have thought the nasty carpet and sofa bed would have been upgraded or at least deep cleaned. I would highly suggest throwing out that carpet that is in the living room area. Also one of the dining chairs is broken. The sofa bed is stained and the mattress couldn't be slept on. They did have a foam cushion that was in the closet in a trash bag that could be used as an added layer of cushion for the mattress. Please do some upgrades to this unit, as it could be a 4-5 star review if these items would be replaced.

Great Waikiki location
This was probably the best VRBO rental I've ever had, and they've all been pretty good. Location was fantastic, 5 minute walk to the beach and the main drag in Waikiki with all the restaurants and shopping. Check-in/out was easy and the parking spot was a blessing. Room was in great condition and had beach chairs, boogieboards and umbrellas for use. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice Stay at Convenient Location
We spent 2-1/2 weeks at this property. There were some good and some not so good. <br/><br/>On the positive side, it is conveniently located, few blocks from the beach and Kalakaua ave, close to Kapahulu making getting out of Waikiki easy, lots of places to dine and shop near by. The unit itself was clean and comfortable. Partial view of the ocean and diamond head from the balcony was nice. <br/><br/>On not so good, there was renovation going on in the entire building - beat up hall way, elevator, construction material everywhere, noisy and dusty. One day we lost water for the entire day. Specific to the unit itself - It is very dark. Only had couple of dim bedside lamps in the bedroom and one dim floor lamp and desk lamp in the living room area. Overhead light in the kitchen was also low light and hardly lit the place at night. Also shower/tub drain was super slow, standing water reached above our ankles. Luckily we were able to clear it ourselves using liquid plumber.<br/><br/>Our biggest issue was/is the non-responsiveness of the property owner/manager. We reached out to them 3 times prior to our trip with questions and received ZERO response. We managed fine without getting answers or needing to talk to them but it was very disconcerting to think that if we had ran into any serious issues while we were there we would not get any help.

Waikiki Sunset Partial Ocean 1 BDR on the 21st Floor
The photo of the property is mostly accurate. There are a few maintenance issues with this condo but overall it was fine for a week's stay. A big plus is the rent includes parking, which is a big deal in this area. The location is good if you are looking for a place to hang out in Waikiki. Most everything is within walking distance. Driving in Honolulu can be a nightmare so I would walk or Uber if needed for short distances. The elevators are pretty slow, but there are 3 of them.The staff at this location were neither friendly or unfriendly. They don't really go out of their way to make you feel welcome, but they aren't rude either. Just so-so. The parking lot attendants were however quite nice. Overall, I'd give this unit a B+.

Nice place
This property was extremely clean. No dust or dirt in the corners, no bugs, well taken care of. The unit is starting to show some wear on the furniture and cabinets, but everything was still very comfortable, clean, and in overall good shape. The building itself could use some updating. New carpet in the halls would do so much for the property. It wasnt dirty, just worn. The pool was great, parking was great. The elevators are very slow, and there always seemed to be one down for servicing. The location was great and the view was wonderful for being a few blocks off the beach. The only complaint about the view was the buildings around this building. They are pretty worn down, but other than that they were fine. Close proximity to restaurants and the beach. This property was a great value. I would definitely stay here again.

A lovely stay
We had a lovely stay in Honolulu. We appreciated the free parking and WiFi (although the instructions for accessing the WiFi were completely wrong). Fortunately we located the correct information somewhere else. <br/>The only frustrating issue was the badly leaking shower hose. No one is in the on site office until 8am so we took rather challenging showers our first night....lots of water everywhere. I do have to say that Mike was great about getting what he needed and fixing the problem so our second night showers were MUCH better.<br/>I liked the location (near the zoo) and the views of Diamond Head and the limited view of the ocean and the unit as a whole. Very relaxing.<br/>I think the only other issue was the excessive price charged for a lost key card. In all of the hundreds of condos we have stayed in, I have never been charged even a tiny "lost card fee". This issue is a deal breaker for staying here again.

Our Hawaii Vacation
We enjoyed our stay at the Waikiki Sunset condo. It was just a 4 - 6 minute walk right down to the beach so location was great, especially for the money. I would have rather stayed on the beach but that would have probably been 3x's the money. The parking was great having the price included in my overall price. The only thing I was kind of disappointed in was the condition of the condo was needing updated. The rugs on the floor were worn around the edges making them fray, the table in the kitchen was getting pretty worn, walls needed more decor they were pretty plain. The photos makes this condo look larger than it is. As far as the view it is pretty decent. There are two little dumps under the balcony that are like three to four story apartments and the tall condo that you don't see in the photos is pretty run down. There will probably be people that think I am picky but they ask for a review so this is it.

Adequate
Stayed 32 days Sept and Oct 2015.<br/><br/> We have stayed at the Waikiki Sunset numerous times in the past and knew what to expect, we prefer the Diamond Head end of Waikiki as it is a little quieter and closer to the beach areas we prefer and having the natural gas BBQ grills at the Sunset are wonderful!<br/><br/> The unit 2106 itself is adequate, all rooms ending in “04” or “06” are located directly behind the elevators and if you’re a light sleeper may find the elevator noise annoying. We normally don’t use the air conditioner when we sleep but found we had to use it here with the fan on low at night to mask the elevator sounds.<br/><br/> The unit had all the necessary requirements for our stay, and the included parking stall was a “bonus”. We normally have had to purchase cookware or knives at other rental units in the past but were very pleased with the quality and quantity of kitchen amenities. <br/><br/> Cleanliness was the only negative, probably why the cleaning fees are lower than most rentals. The dust bunnies and items residing under the chesterfield were scary; when we lifted the rugs for vacuuming I’m sure they hadn’t seen the light of day for months. The shower curtain is covered in black mould anywhere it touches the tub and it took a good five to ten minutes for the shower water to drain. ( note : Plumbing is an issue at all rentals in Waikiki, all of these buildings were constructed in the 70’s and with the amount of sand going down those drains it’s no wonder)<br/><br/> Overall, the unit is adequate. We would definitely not hesitate to book it again<br/>

We only heard noise a few times but it didn't last long & wasn't problematic. Everything went just as described - instructions were clear & we really had no problems whatsoever. Even the hide-a-bed was comfortable - our girls slept great & didn't complain once! The only negative comment I could make would be that 2 of the beach chairs should really be thrown away as they were old & broken (we found another one under the bed the day we were leaving) & it could've been a little cleaner (I tend to be meticulous about this though & it was mostly the front of the stove & the pictures & mirrors that could've been cleaned a little better. The tub/shower could've been a little cleaner also & the shower curtain rod was a bit rusted, but the towels were nice quality & very clean. All things considered this was a GREAT value & we all agreed we loved it & would definitely stay here again.

Clean & Comfortable
We enjoyed our stay at the Waikiki Sunset 2106, and we found it to be well cared-for, clean, organized and comfortable. It had everything we needed for our short 4-day trip. We enjoyed the view over the beach and the location was perfect for us. Free parking was important and very much appreciated. Two small imperfections: 1) the shower drain was plugged, but a plumber came and resolved it the same day we informed management about this, and 2)while I slept well, it felt as if the mattress was possibly reaching the end of its life. Both were insignificant issues, but worth noting.

Hawaiian Holiday
We loved our condo at the Waikiki Sunset. It was perfectly located within walking distance of the beach, shops and zoo. It was great to have the fee for parking included. The condo was well equipped for cooking and we did eat in quite a lot. It worked well for us to connect with our adult daughter who lives far away from us. We were surprised to find two lovely beach chairs under the bed - but unfortunately did not see them until the last day when we were about to check out! We had rented one for the day from the mini mart in the building. We did not use the pool or lounge and BBQ area.

Perfect For Us
This is our second time to stay for a week (in this exact same unit). I'll give the overall experience an A-. I have to take a few points away - less than perfect ... Only because the Parking Attendant (a dork - not very bright) would not hand back the parking pass as I attempted to exit the parking garage. She stated the pass was expired, when clearly, the pass was valid - within the date range. On the flip side - the Property Managers quickly fixed the problem while we were out. If that's the worst thing that happened over the entire week, then I'd consider it a good and positive experience overall. The managers were very responsive, most everything went well! I'll return!

Waikiki Sunset a Wonderful Stay
This was a great place to stay and in a convenient location and the picture matches the photo. Alli'i are very professional and always respond to any queries/issues that may arise. They go above and beyond. <br/><br/>The building has wear and tear and the lifts take forever but these are issues that are insignificant when you are in holiday mode and these issues are not in their control.

Waikiki Beauty
Located off the main streets, this rental is perfect for those that like less action. The room was ample, internet connection was terrific and the place was usually quiet at night. The only concerns we had were length of time to get an elevator (up to 10+ minutes some days), and no cleaning supplies or condiments left in the place. We were there for two weeks and it meant having to purchase additional goods just to maintain basic cleanliness. Similarly, most places come with spices and such. Not a thing was left so again additional expenses.

Perfect, Except Floor Tiles Need Deep Cleaning
This is a great property in every way. The amenities are comprehensive. For example the kitchen has lots of utensils and even condiments if you plan to cook. Two hi-def TVs, if you like to watch TV in bed. Great shower arrangement, though there's a tub. The views OK, but don't expect to see much of Diamond Head. The only negative was the cleanliness of the tiles, which wouldn't be easy to pickup on for the cleaning crew, unless you walked around for a day in bare feet. I began to notice how soiled my feet were and first thought it was from wearing slippers outside, but found I actually was picking it up off the tiles. They need to be given a thorough scrub. Other than that, which is not major, a perfect rental.

Family Trip to Waikiki
Overall this was an awesome place to stay for our trip to Waikiki. My 73 year old mom, my 6 year old daughter and I came for a wedding and I really wanted to find a place to call "home" rather than a hotel room, so we could have a little space and a kitchen. This place was perfect: great location, quiet, close to shopping and beach, awesome views, clean, spacious, beach equipment provided was wonderful. I wish we had booked this place for the whole week right from the start (our next condo was lacking....). We just had a small mishap when arriving - the cleaners had misplaced the parking pass and swipe cards so I had to call the emergency line. Shannon with Alii returned my call right away and was on our doorstep within 10 minutes working on a resolution. Turns out the new cleaner put the passes in the wrong spot, and all was back to normal. The hiccup was smoothed over by Shannon's impeccable customer service! I will definitely stay here on my next trip and recommend to our friends who travel to Oahu!<br/>

Well worth the money, but you are far from alone.
VERY busy hotel that caters to both live in guests as well as holiday apartment stayers and also hotel guests as well, so there are a LOT of comings and goings. Plus if you are a smoker, you are required to go out the front of the building for a smoke, which is fine as the entire place is non smoking but you sometimes walk through a cloud of smoke near the front door if a lot of people are out there at the same time. Overall, a great place to stay for the money.

Four stars (and few asterisks)
Had a very nice stay. We were impressed with the renovated kitchen and bathroom, the overall cleanliness and the partial view of the ocean from the balcony.<br/><br/>There were a few little things that could stand improvement. During reservation process, they asked for a check vs. a credit card (but accommodate them after a few conversations). When we arrived, we found the pillowcases hadn't been changed, and that there was a large tropical bird poop on our bedspread! However, we called the maintenance number, and they brought new pillowcases within the hour (never got a new bedspread, however).<br/><br/>Beautiful in the morning and evening, but during the day the sun shines hot into the place, and we had to draw the curtains to stay cool. The kitchen had scant supplies, but several of the teflon pans were worn through. We bought our own coffee filters, olive oil, salt (they had pepper). Wouldn't hurt if they replaced the corroded bath vents and shower rod. And the A/C in the bedroom blows directly on the bed—if you're not careful, you may wake up with a sore neck or throat.<br/><br/>But beyond the details, the place is a great value, not far from the beach, and I would definitely stay there again.

Great stay!
My entire experience from making my reservation to checking out of the condo was awesome and super easy. The condo was perfect for my husband and I. We both are originally from Oahu so we knew that we wanted to stay at the end of the much busy strip. The "quiet" end! It's another plus that Ali'i provides free parking. Hotel parking downtown can run between $15-$30 per night!!<br/><br/>When we got to the condo at 3:45pm, our room was not ready yet. We could hear someone vacuuming and the TV was on when we walked up to the door. I knew we could not check-in 'til after 3:30pm, so we made sure not to arrive before then. As I was about to call the Ali'i office, a young lady walked out holding a small bag of garbage and said, "Oh you're here already!", and she needed 10 more minutes to finish up. At this point it was already passed 4pm. She was very polite and apologized, we told her it was fine, so we just sat on the couch in front of the elevators with our luggages until she was done. The condo was pretty clean and smelled fresh, but she missed cleaning the stove top and oven.<br/><br/>Overall, our stay was close to perfect. The location is ideal and a very short walk to Kalakaua, which is awesome for walking at night.<br/>

I called maintenance the very next morning and they sent someone to fix it within a few hours. Their maintenance service was excellent and the replacement made our stay much more enjoyable. Free parking was also very convenient for us! Only thing missing from this condo is a gy for exercising! I would recommend this condo to family and friends.

We stayed for 8 days in this very centrally located condo which included a parking pass and wifi. We chose this unit as we were traveling with our teenage daughter and we wanted a true bedroom with a wall.. Not an accordian wall. A bathroom that did not have to be accessed through the bedroom. Two televisions so when at the condo we were not stuck watching disney the entire time. A stove and refrigerator so we could do breakfast and lunches at the condo(nearby safeway). This unit checked all those boxes!<br/>The only negative was a very slow bathtub drain.. Had read reviews of the same and prepared with older building but would have to wait 30 or more minutes between showers unless you wanted to stand in water.<br/>The app and check in information made our entry very smooth. Asked a question of propert management and received a quick reply.<br/>We would stay here again if have the opportunity to be back to Hawaii.

Parking pass then you put on the dash. Magnetic card you need to get in the hotel from garage. Every time you enter the garage you need push the button and take a ticket.

The only negative was the cleanliness of the tiles, which wouldn't be easy to pickup on for the cleaning crew, unless you walked around for a day in bare feet.

The lighting was poor in the unit. There were brown bugs in the cupboards. Trim from cupboard kept falling off. It was well equiped and veryclean.

We definitely got what we paid for, which was a lot! You can tell they're renovating, but not anything to be annoyed at. Full on kitchen with range, large fridge, microwave, and cafe table. Two Vizio-brand flat screens in the living room and bedroom. Small balcony with plastic chairs. Obstructed views of the water but still able to see it; clear views of Diamondhead. For a married couple with no kids it was perfect. A 10-minute walk from the heart of the "strip" or a few minutes cab ride away. Definitely recommend.

My husband and I stayed here for 12 nights in September. This was our second time using Ali'i Beach Rentals. I love the ease of booking and the check in instructions are clear and easy to follow. This condo was just as it appears in pictures. The two TV's were great and the place was neat and clean when we arrived. We like the high speed internet and free parking space. The location was 2 blocks from the beach with a great view of the ocean from the balcony. The only thing I would have liked is a vacuum cleaner in the unit to sweep up the sand during during our stay.

The condo is conveniently located and the veiws from the Lanai is spectacular. Even though the lifts are at times slow (who is in a rush on vacation anyways). I thoroughly enjoyed my whole duration stay and would definately stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was extremely clean and the staff helpful. The location was great being at one end of the strip allowed us easy access to the freeway system. We traveled around the island daily and were able to get everywhere. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. A short drive to Walmart our first day and we were able to fill the kitchen with supplies for breakfast and snacks. There is also a convenience store on the 5th floor of the building where you may rent snorkels etc... The concierge desk in the lobby is available daily to arrange activities also. We would stay at this location again.

The condo unit itself has been nicely renovated, and kitchen is well stocked w/ dishes, utensils and pots and pans. Doesn't have a dishwasher though. Unit is generally well furnished, but I agree w/ a previous review that the hide-a-bed was very uncomfortable. Our daughter wound up sleeping on the floor after the 1st night, cos she ended up w/ a sore back. Perhaps owner should look into replacing it w/ a better quality sofabed. Location is fine - 2 blocks to beach, and the unit has a nice view of the ocean and Diamond Head. The building itself, however, is old and in need of a freshen up, and you can have a long wait for the elevators. Also late checkout is costly, even if the unit is vacant after your stay - you will be charged for half a day to extend your stay till 3pm, and a full day if it's past 3pm. Overall we had a great vacation, and are pleased w/ the rental unit.

I would recommend the Rental Company Alli Beach Rentals as they were very customer service oriented however the condo was not very clean and a bit "beat-up" inside. Also, the street was littered with garbage and smelled a little.

Very nice, cozy condo! You can tell the owner has done a lot of remodeling recently. Be aware that you'll need to bring your own soap for the shower (we've been use to small guest soaps) and you'll need to purchase most of your seasonings if you plan on cooking (I guess we've been spoiled with "left overs" from previous vacationers at other condos!) Overall, a very nice place that we would be more than happy to rent again!

The Sunset is located at the end of Waikiki beach which is a great location, not quite as busy as the main area. Our condo was just perfect for the 2 of us. It appeared to be newly renovated, very clean and had everything we needed. When we go back to Waikiki we will definitely stay here again. Shelly was very easy to deal with, we extended our vacation by one extra day and there was no problem. She also allowed us to check in early which really helped. the only thing I would like to see is a small cooler for the trips to the store. We rented the beach chairs which really is a must. Wish I was back in Hawaii now. We have been telling our friends about the Sunset as it truly is a great place and a great price.

We enjoyed everythng except the quality of the sofa bed. The mattress wasn't comfortable even for our children (8&10). Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The parking spot was a real asset as were the two tvs at various 'down times' (when recovering from sunburn etc). Would definitely return or recommend.

Building is a bit aged, has just 4 slow elevators and smells funny, but the condo unit #2106 is well looked after, clean and has nice views of Waikiki. Would recommend this unit.
