Great place
Perfect location. Great size for a couple. Loved having the patio where we could spend evenings catching sunset and having a drink. Perfect for coffee in the morning, too! Couldn't be more central. Don't NEED a car staying here, but if you're going to explore the island and rent a car, the included parking space is a HUGE benefit. We would absolutely stay here again.

We take cleanliness seriously and sanitation is our number one priority. Our professional cleaner ensures that your safety comes first.

Escape to the heart of Waikiki at Marine Surf Studio, a stylish private vacation rental designed for romance, relaxation, and adventure. Perfect for honeymooners or small families, this cozy island retreat places you just a 5-minute stroll from the world-famous Waikiki Beach, with shopping, dining, and iconic attractions right outside your door.

Start your days with coffee on the lanai while soaking in Waikiki views, then head upstairs to enjoy the rooftop pool, where ocean breezes and city vistas create the ultimate place to unwind. When hunger strikes, you’ll love the restaurants conveniently located off the lobby, making island dining effortless and close to home.

Inside the studio, enjoy thoughtful comforts including a plush California King bed, leather loveseat, kitchenette, and TV—everything you need after a sun-filled day at the beach. Beach gear is also provided, so you’re always ready for sand and surf.

Whether you’re celebrating love, making family memories, or simply craving a tropical escape, Marine Surf Studio invites you to experience Waikiki with comfort, convenience, and true island Aloha.

CFAR Cancel For Any Reason Travel Protection.

◆ The washer and dryer are located approximately 5 feet across the hall and are designated for use by residents of this floor only (12 units in total). A laundry card will be provided by Theresa, the caretaker, and can be loaded with funds for use.
◆ The Hawaiian Islands have some of the most remote and benign tropical rainforests in the world. Although we have regular pest control, like any moist and fertile environment, you may find some ants, mosquitoes, roaches and critters like little geckos that share this beautiful world with humans. To keep out bugs, remember to close the doors right after entering. Don't leave food or crumbs on counters or tables and avoid eating at the bed because ants are really smart and fast. Remember that although geckos may scare you, they are our friends and help to eat the bugs.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a balcony and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

Waikiki Vacation

Cons:Mainly surrounded the property manager. -given instructions on how to access the property but failed to mention the parking structure was subdivided making initial arrival and parking a nightmare. If it wasn't for a friendly by-standard, can't say we would have figured it out. -we punched in the door code provided which failed to let us enter our stay. I called the property manager who did not pick up. After 25 mins of no response, 13hrs of travel and a cranky toddler to boot, this was not how we wanted to begin our stay. It took several more calls before Theresa picked up the phone to say "oh I thought you guys were coming two days ago". ...Now if this was in fact the case, shouldn't our door code have been long changed? This did not give me peace of mind when it came to security. There was no follow-up after this which I felt was disappointing. -I previously lived downtown Waikiki and know the area well. I do know it can be loud at night and knew the building I was booking in, despite being on the 10th floor, the noise level was still pretty unacceptable. Honestly, if we weren't se tired, I would have never fallen asleep. I wish this would have been better outlined in the description.-The leather love seat was described as a twin sized futon, however, this was a bit deceptive. It is a recliner sofa that doesn't lay flat. If you expect to have a third person there to sleep, it will be a couch sleep.

Loud but comfortable in the perfect location

We have stayed in Marine Surf many times- we love the location, the facilities and the fact you get a car parking space . We enjoyed our stay , although unit was not as good as others we’ve stayed in . The bed is huge and very comfortable, tv is great , carpet is an odd choice in a beach condo and it’s really loud at night - all night on weekends - as there’s a bar not far away & it’s not super high up . Having only one access fob is painful, too - you can’t go out separately, we’ve always had 2 fobs on the other condos in Marine Surf . Keypad doesn’t work to open . Would always choose this location, maybe not this particular unit .

Met most of our needs

The apartment was neat, and clean. We enjoyed the lanai, although we didn't have much of a view of anything besides buildings. The pros were location, as we were in walking distance of many things like the beach, shopping, food. Also a pro was the use of the beach chairs and beach towels. We liked having the laundry just across the hall, very convenient. There was no noise from neighbors. Having the free parking space was awesome and really made staying here worth the money! The cons - noise from outside - a nightclub played loud music till the wee hours; and then a couple hours later it was time for the garbage collection trucks. So sleep was not very enjoyable for either of us. The a/c unit was very loud as well.

Property location was amazing, as was the included parking. Apartment was pretty good, was clean, except under the bed, don’t look there, or plan on using the ironing board under there. There was an issue with the shower which was completely ignored, including an email sent after our stay. Had the company addressed it or even acknowledged our email with an apology, this would be a glowing review. I use the term company specifically as this is clearly a for profit business and not a caring customer oriented owner.

Middle of Waikiki

Easy to check in and check out. Great to be in Waikiki where you have access to beaches, restaurants, shops fast. Downside was noise. Band plays every night at a bar down the street and other city sounds made it tough to sleep each night.

Only one key permited

The BAD - I explained to the care taker that we needed a second key to accommodate my group of 3 but but she said they only provide one key. I replaced the tv remote control batteries but when it still didn't work the caretaker said she couldn't arrange repair until after I leave which is more than 2 weeks later ? The Good- the place looks nice just like the pictures and was clean. I would recommend this room for a person staying here alone but not for 2 people because you can't even get on the elevator without a key .FYI I've stayed in other rooms in this building and 2 keys were always provided.

Well stocked, great location

The room was exactly as pictured. Nice open space, fridge stocked with large bottle of wine. Everything one might need was there; hair dryer, polish remover and butter for toast. The trash trucks are loud in the morning, but that is to be expected. It was great having a parking space to come home to at night. The elevator smells of garlic due to a restaurant on the first floor. Bathtub and toilet needed cleaning due to rings of dirt. But found cleaner in the room and cleaned it myself. The tub and bathroom sink drains were slow, went to Home Depot and bought drain opener, that helped.The bed was clean and comfortable, ac worked great. Overall we had a positive experience. Great location central to shopping and the beach. Thank you

Filthy Condo Bad Plumbing

The manager of the condo was not very communicative. The condo was absolutely filthy. We removed the sheets when we left and the mattress pad was so stained I almost threw up when I saw it and knew we had been sleeping in that filth all week. The bathroom was dirty, the tub, toilet and sink needed cleaning. The tub water would not turn off, the sink did not drain well. The washer/dryer had wet stinky towels when we arrived and nothing we washed got dry. The condo comes with a parking spot and we came back the day before we left to find someone parked in our space. It was being used by the manager, and we were told about 12 that she would be out by 5 pm. So we had to leave 2 times because we had things to take upstairs and my husband had to sit in the car in the middle of the drive so I could take the items upstairs. Pillows were bad and the sheets did not match and had "pilled" so were very uncomfortable. We did LOVE the location, and the kitchen was nice and handy, but the management by the manager is just awful. This was our first VBRO and did not give us a good impression of service. I am sure the owner would like to know just what kind of condition his property is in.
