We stayed for six weeks between the sale of one home and the purchase of another, so we are very familiar with Honolulu, Waikiki, Diamond Head, etc. If you want to be near Waikiki/Diamond Head but not in the noisy hustle of Waikiki - this is the place for you! This condo has everything you need for an amazing stay. Dining room table, large sofa, full kitchen, washer and dryer in the unit, super comfy queen size bed and bathroom, AND A/C! The owners are very attentive and friendly, which makes this place even better. Oh, and there is a designated parking spot, which is THE BEST because it is not easy to find parking in this area. If you book here, you will not be disappointed!!
We have enjoyed staying in this apartment so much that we returned this year for our third visit. Located in a quiet safe neighbourhood close to Kapiolani park, beaches, Waikiki and local cafes. This accommodation has loads of room and includes a washer and dryer, well equipped kitchen, air conditioning, parking spot, pool …Very impressed with communication from the hosts, we highly recommend.
You can’t beat this safe and convenient location, close to park, beach, restaurants and Waikiki. The apartment is well stocked including beach chairs, etc. and the parking spot is a real bonus. Excellent communication from hosts. We would LOVE to return next year…
This apartment is fully equipped with everything you could need. The parking spot is a real bonus since we like to explore the island. Great location with restaurants close by, easy walk to the park, beach and Waikiki. Communication from the hosts was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return,
Loved everything about this place. Close to the beach. Host was great with communication and was a pleasure to work with!
We have just returned from a glorious stay at this property! It was our first visit with local family in more than a year and provided us with a home base. This apartment is well located in a walkable area, is very comfortable, and well equipped with everything you'd need for beach trips or picnics.
Very good close to the beach
We rented this unit because we had to work in Honolulu for a month on a job assignment. The property owner, Michelle, was very nice, responsive and helpful.
Location is the best thing about this property! The property is clean, well-stocked, and in a quiet/safe area of small mid-century condo buildings at the base of Diamond Head. The views from the dining table toward Waikiki's skyline are great, and you can see the fireworks on Friday nights. The swimming pool at this condo complex is actually beautiful (looks brand new), and the area around it was quiet and great for reading in the late afternoons
The location was excellent with several great little eating places nearby. Favorites were Diamond Head Grill, Pioneer Saloon (all kinds of great Asian dishes), Morey's, Bogarts for breakfast, and South Shore grill for great fish tacos and macnut pesto chicken. The restaurants are all about 10 to 15 minute walk.
You can walk to the heart of Waikiki in 30 minutes (close enough but not too close). It is just a 15 minute walk to the public beach at Kapi'olani park which was great. Lots of parks and green space in this area which we really appreciated in a city like Honolulu. Our favorite thing was walking at 4:30pm each day (after work) from the condo, through the community garden, across the huge community sports fields, and into Kapi'olani park to then walk along the beach to Waikiki for sunset cocktails. The reason we loved that aspect so much was that to get to the beach you just walk through park space - no busy streets and buildings.
We did not have a car, so we used Uber some, and we often walked at night- we always felt safe in this area. The only slight inconvenience is not having strong A/C. Most of the mid-century condo buildings and houses around here don't have it. The owners provide a portable unit that you can put at the bedroom door at night and that sufficed for keeping the bedroom comfortable. During the day we had no need for a/c.
We really grew to love the neighborhood and the condo.
Location is great to the beach, shopping, and public transportation. Cozy and inviting
Great unit, clean, and great location.
