Welcome to Mauka Makai, your gateway to the bustling and serene beauty of O‘ahu, nestled in Waikīkī, between the majestic Ko‘olau mountain range and the pristine Pacific Ocean. Recently renovated with upgraded amenities, appliances, and furniture, this exquisite two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo offers a harmonious blend of modern convenience and authentic Hawaiian charm. Plus, with a included parking space, exploring paradise couldn’t be easier.
THE SPACE
Amidst some of the finest hotels in Waikīkī, you'll be situated in a well-maintained and secure environment. Infused with aloha, Mauka Makai beckons you with its unparalleled comforts and thoughtful amenities. Walk to the nearby Walls Beach, a bodyboarding hotspot, or swim in the walled-in waters of Prince Kūhiō Beach, both a block away.
Looking for somewhere to stay for a week or two? Our elegantly outfitted condo boasts a kitchen suitable for a culinary enthusiast, inviting you to unleash your creativity, when not dining at the thousands of restaurant choices within a short walk or drive. With 860 square feet of living space, complimentary in-unit laundry facilities, and whisper-quiet air conditioning in every room, your stay promises both indulgence and convenience. Relax and unwind on the spacious lanai, savoring your morning coffee amidst the gentle ocean breeze. The condo has three dining areas: the counter (3), the table (4-6) and the lanai (4).
The space within Mauka Makai is designed to cater to your every need. Scandia Towers was originally built for long-term residence, making it feel far more spacious for the same square footage as other units in Waikīkī. Sink into the embrace of memory foam mattresses on every bed, after a day of adventure, awakening refreshed and rejuvenated. The large bedroom offers a versatile layout, accommodating various sleeping arrangements (one king or up to three twin beds), while the small bedroom offers a queen-size bed. Even the sleeper-sofa in the living room sports a full-sized memory foam mattress. The unit is also equipped with a premium twin-size inflatable mattress and a play pen for the youngest people in your life.
Both bedrooms offer ergonomic chairs and sit/stand adjustable desks, intended for those traveling for work with the family, or with colleagues. The kitchen is fully equipped with brand new appliances including full-sized fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and a washer/dryer. A coffee maker, blender, stand mixer, air fryer, electric kettle, rice maker, and toaster are available for your convenience along with pots, pans, dish sets, cooking and dining utensils.
Our commitment to your comfort extends beyond the walls of our condo. Explore Waikīkī and O‘ahu Beaches with ease, as we provide beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, body boards, and snorkeling gear for your convenience. After a day of adventure, immerse yourself in Hawaiian culture with our curated library of Hawaiian books or play popular games, and enjoy the local artwork adorning every room.
Mauka Makai caters to families, friends, and business travelers alike. With desks in both rooms, USB plugs throughout, smart TVs set-up for casting, high-speed internet, and ample space for private, small-team collaboration, we ensure the right blend of work and leisure. Discover the essence of island living at Mauka Makai – where luxury meets aloha spirit. Even if you're staying for just a few days, you won't want to leave.
