Description
Take a stroll along Waikiki beach and enjoy the warmth on your skin and the beach sand between your toes. This cute and upgraded 16th-floor city view studio is in the Ilikai Marina, an ocean front building located in the quieter side of Waikiki. The property is walking distance to a lot of shopping, places to eat and a easy ride away from nature, such as hiking, snorkeling and surfing. Enjoy both nature and urban style living from this thoughtfully appointed and beautiful property!(FEATURES + QUIRKS)• The Ilikai Marina is more of a residential style building and was built around the 1970s. This particular unit is relatively upgraded and the building is well-maintained but as most buildings in Waikiki, it does not feel new. Personally, coming from Chicago, I noticed buildings in Waikiki felt older as well but I was enamored by NATURE itself — the weather, the beach, and surroundings.• Juliet-style Lanai (Two people can stand and get some fresh air but it’s not large enough to sit and lounge)• The building does routine AC maintenance, plumbing (water shut down) and pest control and you’ll see notices in the elevator, we will try to remind you too.• There’s no dishwasher in this unit (kind of common in Hawaii, weird for a Chicagoan).• Plumbing seems sensitive in the building. We do our best to check but I find that the drains are tricky.• Noise: This unit is on the 16th floor so it’s quite high from the street but it is facing Ala Moana Blvd which has traffic and alot of cars. So you may not hear noise but you may, if you’re sensitive.• In Hawaii’s tropical paradise, you might encounter a bug or two in any property. It is rare for us due to our continuous proactive efforts to maintain pest-free units but it can still happen.The host and co-host will be accessible for guests via phone or app should you have any questions about the apartment or the area.Waikiki is Oahu’s main hotel and resort area and a vibrant gathering place for visitors from around the world. It close to an array of different cateogies of activities such as world-class shopping, dining along the main strip of Kalakaua Avenue or nature-esque activities including hikes, surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving.It’s full of tropical vibes full of aloha spirit offering a wide range of activities that are easily accessible.
