Beach toys and equipment can be rented at "808 Smart Car Rental," located on the first floor. The ABC store, Target, Ross Dress for Less, and Waikiki Supermarket are all nearby, within a 5-10 minute walking distance.
Parking
The building offers parking at a rate of $47/day with unlimited in-and-out privileges (rates are subject to change). Maximum vehicle height clearance is 6 ft. Extended wheelbase vehicles or large trucks are not recommended due to garage size limitations. Limited free street parking is available along Ala Wai Boulevard next to the building. Additionally, several nearby parking garages are available.
Car rental
The 808 Smart Car Rental company is conveniently located on the first floor of the building. If you rent a car from them and return it to the building on the same day, you can avoid overnight parking fees. Several major car rental companies also have Waikiki locations within a 5–10 minute walking. Enterprise is the closest major car rental company, and it often offers more reasonable rates.
Luggage storage
The front desk offers luggage storage for $5 per piece. Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, so availability cannot be guaranteed. There is also a luggage storage service on the first floor inside 808 Smart Car Rental, which charges $5 per piece.
Unit size
Approximately 580 sqft of interior living space, plus a 100 sqft private patio/lanai area. Please note that photos may be taken with wide-angle lenses, which can sometimes make spaces appear larger than they are in person.
Housekeeping
This unit in the building is privately managed and not associated with the hotel, therefore housekeeping services are not provided during your stay. The unit will be stocked with basic daily essentials based on the reservation size and length of stay. The building offers a laundry room and an on-site convenience store to meet your essential needs.
Sound
Enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze through the jalousie windows in the bedroom, a common feature of Hawaii homes and buildings. While these windows provide excellent natural ventilation, they also allow some of the city sounds of Waikiki to reach our 28th-floor apartment. Guests who are sensitive to noise, particularly while sleeping, may notice occasional street and city sounds.
Building operations
The building management may conduct routine maintenance, inspections, fire alarm testing, pest control, repairs, or other operational work that may temporarily affect services or access to certain areas, including water, electricity, elevators, or common areas. These activities are managed by the building and are outside of our control. While such interruptions are not frequent, they may occasionally occur during your stay. We appreciate your understanding and patience should this happen.
Pests
The tropical weather in Hawaii is heavenly—for people and pests alike! We make every effort to keep pests away from the unit, including regular quarterly pest control managed by the building. However, because this is a condominium property, it is unfortunately not possible to guarantee that the unit will be completely pest-free. While we have not experienced any pest issues so far, we cannot guarantee that you will never encounter a pest, such as a cockroach.
Trash chute
There are two trash chutes on each floor, and you will pass by one of them on your way to the unit. Occasionally, an odor may be noticeable in the hallway near the trash chute, even on higher floors. However, the unit is not located next to the trash chute, and no odor will enter inside the room.
