Rental Details

Property Overview

You'll be sitting on top of the world at this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath Penthouse with an open living room and fully-equipped kitchen.

The jaw-dropping 270-degree view includes Diamond Head, a sweeping ocean view, the Ala Wai Canal, the Ala Wai golf course, Ft DeRussy Park, the beautiful Koolau Mountain range, and both sunrises and sunsets!

This is a legal vacation rental property managed by a licensed real estate broker with over 20 years of experience with Hawaii vacation rentals. You won't have to worry if your rental will be there when you arrive.

The penthouse is excellent for families and friends; less expensive than a hotel, it features a full kitchen, and at over 1,000 square feet (large by Waikiki standards), the penthouse comfortably accommodates 6. The ocean-side primary bedroom has a king bed, the Diamond Head-side primary bedroom has two full beds, and the living room has a new high-quality Queen sofa bed. In addition, we have a crib available at no charge. The bedrooms, living/dining room and kitchen all have spectacular views. Every Friday night, you can watch the fireworks launched from the nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village, and on special occasions, you'll see a bigger show on Waikiki Beach.

You'll have a fully equipped kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, blender, coffee pot and grinder, pots and pans, silverware and just about anything else you need. To top it off, the kitchen has a panoramic ocean view!

One bathroom features a Japanese-style deep bathtub (furo) with a shower. The second bathroom has a walk-in shower. You'll also have your own washer and dryer in the penthouse.
A supply cabinet contains beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels and assorted beach items.

You'll enjoy the huge recreation deck featuring a large swimming pool, hot tub, barbecue grills, picnic tables and lounge chairs. There are no resort fees to use these facilities. Also on site is a new fitness center, which is almost free: it only costs $5 for your entire stay (not per day).

There is a large flat-screen TV with cable service and a Roku device. The free high-speed WIFI is your private network, not shared with other units, and is powerful enough for the whole family to share their vacation experience.

The Hawaii Convention Center is within walking distance, as are the Hilton Hawaiian Village and other venues where conventions are held. If you need to conduct business while in Waikiki, there is a desk in one of the bedrooms and a nook in the dining area.

The Hawaiian Monarch is a mixture of hotel-owned and privately owned units. Our penthouse is privately owned, managed, and maintained. which means we can offer more personalized service and a higher standard of care. There are only three other penthouses on the same floor. Four elevators provide access.

Parking is available in the on-site parking garage. The garage is privately owned and the rate at the time of this writing is $45/day with full in and out privileges. Parking is not included in the rent, as most of our guests do not rent a car. The penthouse has a Walk Score of 92 (out of 100). Some guests rent a car for a day of exploring from one of the nearby car rental companies. Turo is available for car rentals, too.

The Hawaii Convention Center is within walking distance, as are the Hilton Hawaiian Village and other venues where conventions are held. If you need to conduct business while in Waikiki, there is a desk in one of the bedrooms and a nook in the dining area.

Within walking distance are many restaurants and shopping, including Ala Moana Shopping Center, resorts, grocery and convenience stores, music venues, sports bar, post office, green parks, Waikiki Beach Walk, and of course, Waikiki Beach itself!

Waikiki and the surrounding area have a gazillion things to do. Of course, there is the world's most famous beach. Many water sports are available, including surfing, paddleboarding, boogieboarding, snorkeling, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, parasailing, and more. There is shopping for everything from souvenir trinkets to high-end luxury stores and everything in between.

Hear world-class music at many resorts, such as Blue Note Jazz Club, the Waikiki Shell, the Blaisdell Arena, and local musicians playing rock, jazz, and, of course, the soothing sound of Hawaiian music.

Honolulu has an extensive public bus system, and a bus stop is located across the street from the penthouse. Buses reach many areas over the island, including major destinations such as Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Chinatown, Honolulu Airport, Honolulu Zoo, The Aquarium and others.

In addition to all these visitor attractions, there is another reason to visit Hawaii: the rich Hawaiian culture. Aloha is a real thing, not just a buzzword. You'll know it when you experience it. We encourage you to learn about the culture and history through the many museums and to personally connect with the Hawaiian people.

Our local weatherperson likes to say we have 'the best weather on the planet.' Is it cold where you are? Come to Waikiki and warm up! Are you suffering from unbearable heat and humidity? Come to Waikiki and cool off! Our average daily temperature is in the low to mid-80s F (27 C) all year.

Holiday Vacation We decided to spend the Thanksgiving holiday in Oahu. This rental really made the stay amazing. It is well equipped and the view is absolutely amazing! The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki were stunning. The unit came with beach chairs, boogie boards, beach umbrella, and beach towels. These amenities really added to the beach fun It is easy to get to and nicely located. We loved it and wouldn't hesitate to book here again. Aloha!

So Thankful! REVIEW COMMENTS: Wow!! That about sums it up! I can honestly say I've never had a better host than Steve. He checked in periodically to make sure everything was good. Not only that, but after we left, I discovered I left my Kindle behind. I contacted Steve, who was out of the country at that time, and he immediately reached out to his manager to help. He stayed in contact with me until my Kindle was on the way back to me free of charge! As far as his penthouse... what would you expect from the host I just described! Yup... immaculate! Clean, clean, clean- comfy beds, perfect size living area for our family of four and a beautiful view as well... Diamond Head during the day and a beautiful sunset at night! And, we never had to wait for the elevator. Thank you Steve for your hospitality... you're the best by far!

A perfect place to stay for our family of 4! Great location that's just outside of the craziness of Waikiki. A well-stocked kitchen, as well as a cabinet full of beach items to use. But the star of the show is the view that wraps around the corner, so you can see the canal and the ocean at the same time. We would definitely stay here again.

My family of four had a wonderful stay. Steve was a fabulous host. This was our first trip to Oahu, and Steve was really great with his communication and sharing information. We loved the location and the view from the penthouse is amazing, as advertised. The PH is close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. We did not rent a car as you can Uber or Lyft anywhere rather quickly. Waikiki is expensive, we reduced our expenses by preparing some meals in the penthouse and enjoying the million dollar view. You can walk to Walmart and Foodland for groceries and supplies. There is also a great food truck court across the street. My adult kids, who are foodies, loved the food trucks. And, the bakery in the complex, Maleko, is a gem. Save room in your suitcase for pineapple coconut jam and chocolate, coconut, peanut butter which can all be purchased at Maleko. If you want high end food and shopping, the PH is 3 to 4 blocks from glitz and glamour.

We had a wonderful two weeks with our adult stepdaughter—plenty of room for the three of us, gorgeous views, lots of Waikiki activities and nearby beach. All the processes and many entertainment opportunities were very clearly laid out. Highly recommended.

Family members, two couples, spent five nights here the beginning of February. View was breathtaking when we walked in the door. Windows, windows everywhere! Yet at night and during the heat of the day had plenty of shades and drapes!Pictures show you exactly as it is – kitchen is well stocked and one bathroom has a walk-in shower and The other one has a Japanese bathtub with shower.Very clean condo with good quality sheets and towels, and all the beds were comfortable. Amazing assortment of beach paraphernalia. Beach is about a 10 minute walk. Amazing group of stationary food trucks on the corner across the street that are open daily.There is a wonderful shop in the lobby for morning, coffee, and wonderful pastries…Highly recommend!!

Beautiful views and a nice spacious place. The building itself is a little run down and parking is expensive ($45/day). Beach is a far walk (20-30 minutes one way). One couch is on its last legs and we were afraid to sit on it as it looked like the legs would break off. Not enough soap, shampoo, etc (our family of five, staying for eight nights was giving the very small -- 2 oz -- shampoos and hand soaps about the size of a silver dollar). The beach items were a big plus, and much appreciated. A 7-11 near the lobby was very convenient. We had a car, so everything worked out really well, but without a car going to and from the beach would have been tough with our group size and things we were carrying.

This has to be one of the best apartment rentals we have ever had anywhere in the world! The description and photos were absolutely spot on, and the apartment was exactly as presented -- but better, because the view was incredible! We stayed a week, and still did not tire of just looking out the windows! Steve, the owner, was great. He provided timely and excellent advice and suggestions, such as the weekly farmer's markets. He was always immediately responsive and available, and was genuinely interested in making sure that we had everything we needed for an enjoyable visit. And we certainly did! The furnishings were comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped. The Roku TV was also an added benefit! The hotel elevators were prompt and efficient, and the coffee shop in the lobby provided excellent pastries and coffee if desired in the mornings. We truly could not have asked for a better place to stay in Waikiki, and will definitely plan on a return visit!

From the first time we made contact with Steve, everything was so smooth. He kept in contact with us throughout arrival and departure. The building is in a prime location, overlooking Wakakki Beach. Walking distance to food venues, bars shopping..etc. We only had to use our rental car 1 day, because we went to the Punchbowl Cemetery, and took a ride to see a waterfall. The penthouse was clean and fully equipped. We just had to find a market to get water, coffee, etc. That was all in walking distance. I highly recommend a stay here on your next visit to Oahu. Thanks for everything.

Parking is terrible, sometimes it take 20-30 minutes wait time to get a parking spot. Clearance is 6ft and 2 inches, so if you have bigger vehicles, it is hard. Other thing is elevators, it is worst, it takes 5 minutes sometimes.

I checked into the property on 7/18 and the first 3 days I had an issue with the key card, it had to be reset every night when I came back which was very inconvenient. On day 4 I was stuck in the building elevator for over 10mins.
