Aloha, and welcome to our vacation home in Hawaii specifically designed for the eclectic adult. We are only a few steps away(3 blocks) from the world renowned Waikiki beach and International Market Place(1 Block), high-end shopping, fine and casual dining, and public transportation (taxi or bus). This newly designed adult studio is located in the center of Waikiki on seaside avenue between the international Marketplace on Kuhio Avenue and the Ala Wai canal.

Why stay in a sparsely furnished hotel room where you are limited to sitting on a stiff upright chair or on the edge of a bed, when you can relax and enjoy your experience in Hawaii in this exceptionally clean, well designed and tastefully furnished tropical deluxe studio suite for less.

We have designed this studio with you, our (adult) guests in mind in order to make your Island experience as enjoyable as possible. We are able to provide you this comfort by using only top quality furniture, appliances and accessories for your personal enjoyment. Other units at this price range in this building and other buildings in Waikiki do not compare to the level of detail we have provided for you in this suite.

Because this is also our personal vacation home which we visit at least five times a year, we are committed to keeping this unit very clean and up to date, by regularly shampooing the carpets, servicing the air conditioner and replacing any items such as towels, bed linens, and cookware on a regular basis.

This studio boasts a large 100 square feet terracotta tiled lanai which is furnished with large comfortable wicker patio lounge chairs, coffee table and love seat. Here you can sit back, relax and simply enjoy the beautiful nightly sunsets to the south, gaze upon the grand views of Honolulu to the west, the serene and tranquil Koolau mountain range to the north or the stunning romantic evening reflections off the Ala Wai canal below.

We provide you with a deluxe Serta queen size bed, using quality bed linens with a thread count of 300 plus for your sleeping comfort after a long day of sight seeing. We also provide you with an inviting and ambient living and dining area to relax in where you can enjoy a simple meal, watch your favorite movies or TV programs on a wall mounted magnificent 42' plasma screen , or just listen to music on the stereo. The plasma screen is positioned strategically so that you can watch your shows from either the living room area or from the comfort of your bed.

This condo includes a customized kitchenette with all the conveniences should you desire to cook a simple meal or a late night snack after a night out in Waikiki. This kitchenette includes a standard fridge/freezer, a dual functioning microwave and convection oven, a dishwasher which are all accented in decorative stainless steel and a built in counter cook top.

Other amenities at no extra cost include wireless internet access, free local telephone calls, cable connected 42 inch plasma screen, and a Blu-Ray unit for Blu-Ray/CD/DVD playback. This unit is truly designed to be your tropical home away from home.

For your added peace of mind and safety, there is a 24 hour manned security desk located at the lobby entrance.

For all your sunbathing needs, the building has a large wrap around deck on the 6th floor which includes a large swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and many sun tanning areas. For your convenience, BBQ grills and picnic areas for outdoor cook outs, a small convenience store and a large coin Laundry facility are also located on this level. Public parking is available in the building at a daily rate of approximately $25 US and must be paid at the parking facility's booth located at the parking entrance. Enterprise car rental services is located on the south side of this building for your convenience.

Unlike other condos or apartments advertised on VRBO for the Waikiki area, all of our photos on this website were recently taken (Jan 2010) and is indicative of our apartment's current condition. I have heard of many disappointed clients complain to us that many of the properties they have rented in the past were not indicative of the property's pictures being advertised (this has also happened to my family so I know what it is like to be disappointed). So please be be aware of those sites providing no pictures of their units or ones where photos look dated (you know...that tired and worn out 70's - 80's look). We also invite you to compare rates that are offered at the Island Colony Hotel, where room conditions are not guaranteed (most rooms made available to the hotel have not been renovated).

We are here to please you...not to deceive you. Please view our visitor's comments for unedited and genuine responses from guests whom have stayed with us. You won't be disappointed.

Mahalo!

            This is definitely a 5 star unit. We have stayed at other condos in Waikiki and this one is by far the best. We are making plans to return again next year. This unit is very clean and well stocked with bed linens, towels, and kitchen items. All you need to bring is your clothes. You are close to the bus stop, beach, and all the fun things to do in Waikiki. We had a great time! Jeremy is great to work with. Any questions you may have are answered promptly. He also took the time and trouble to send me my address book that got left behind. Thanks Jeremy.

            My wife and I enjoyed our 40th anniversay while staying at the Island Colony. Jeremy was excellent to deal with, both friendly and professional. The unit was as close as it could be to the description and pictures that we looked at before making our decision. The closeness to everything in Waikiki made it easy to walk almost everywhere which we really enjoyed. Some of the standouts for us were Top of Waikiki, Dukes, Hula Grill, Shore Bird and the Tiki bar. We wandered through the International Market Place almost daily. The weather was phenominal our entire stay. I would recommend this unit to family and friends and would stay again if we ever return.

            We contacted the owners late (a week before we wanted to stay) due to great last minute flight pricing and a need to simply escape. Jeremy replied promptly and thoroughly, knowing we would have to move quick to make it all happen. Andre even jumped in once to make sure we got the keys on time because FedEx is...well FedEx. I don't think that needs much more explanation. Anyway, the property is everything as advertised and more! Waikiki Beach is just a few blocks away, there is the finest shopping on Oahu and the best restaurants right at the end of the street and it's situated on a street where you just cannot feel lost! A beautiful canal runs right behind the property, so it's either head toward the beach or head toward the canal and you're where you want to be! Easy access to the Highways made trips to Waianae, Hanauma Bay, Ko'Olina and other more secluded spots an easy car ride. The pool and hot tub were nice after hot days in the saltwater and sun and very therapeutic for a sore neck and shoulder I've been dealing with for years. The bed was equally as therapeutic and made what little rest I did get in the bed, perfect. There were some minor infractions on my part, which I will own (READ THE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN YOU GET THEM - IF YOU DO NOT YOU WILL FEEL FOOLISH OR SOMETHING SIMILAR). However, Jeremy was a true gentleman. I will definitely recommend this Waikiki condo hide-a-way to friends and go back when I get a chance. Thanks!!

            This was a great little condo. Very clean, and everything was just as promised. The lanai in particular was nicely furnished and was our favourite place to relax. The condo was within easy walking distance of everything you'd need - groceries, car rental, restaurants, shops and of course the beach. The canal across the street was also lovely for walks and early morning runs. Jeremy was very easy to work with, and everything went smoothly. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone.

            Don’t hesitate to book this condo. I stayed there June 22-July 2, 2012.The unit is pristine and exactly as represented in the pictures. Jeremy is very easy to deal with. He had the extra patience required to put this single traveller at ease. The lanai is a great spot for breakfast or a mai tai. The Food Pantry is about 3 blocks away, so a very easy distance to get groceries. There are several ABC stores in the area. The beach is about 3 blocks away. Most of the buses you want are on Kuhio which is one block away. A brick-and-mortar bank is one block away. Kalakua is 2 blocks away. There is security staff on site.

            I rented Jeremy's condo for a business trip to Oahu. From the first inquiry, Jeremy was polite, helpful, and ensured I had the information that I needed to make the condo rental process as efficient and comfortable as possible. The condo is great! It has a great view, a great location, and was perfect for what I needed. I only wish I had been on vacation! In addition, Jeremy will provide you with all of the instructions you need for during, and after, your stay leaving nothing to question, so you can concentrate on what you are there to do and not worry about anything else. I will certainly rent with him again if I head back that way and you should as well if you are looking to maximize the enjoyment of your trip.

            Jeremy and Andre – Thank you for sharing your lovely Waikiki vacation home with us. We had a wonderful 3 month winter stay in your unit - and we look forward to returning next year! We chose this unit because of the description and the pictures on the VRBO listing - we are happy to say that we were not disappointed - both are very accurate. It is obvious that the owners visit their unit often - it is clean, well maintained, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Because we were there for an extended period, we prepared a lot of our meals in the unit – everything we needed was there. We especially love the size and comfort of the lanai – these must be some of the largest in Waikiki! and we often started and ended our days on the lanai. The newly renovated pool deck with new Jacuzzi and new pool is awesome and a great place to spend your ‘lazy days’. Location is perfect – it is close to Ft DeRussy Park, Waikiki beach, bus stops, shopping and restaurants. Both of our hosts were great to deal with - starting from the time we made our first inquiry last year. Our favorite ‘Happy Hour’ venues..... PF Chang’s – outside seating for great people watching, Rum Fire at the Sheraton and ShoreBird at the Outrigger – hard to beat locations - right on the beach Top of Waikiki – gorgeous views and sunsets! Thank you Jeremy and Andre – we will see you next year. Pat and Dave .

            We celebrated our 55th anniversary during our stay. Cooking was no problem as we had many meals on the lanai, enjoying the view and a glass of wine. The unit was well stocked and was as advertised. Everything was within walking distance including the bus which was a block away. Jeremy was a pleasure to work and we were able to extend our stay by a couple of days. We would definitley recommend this condo and will return if it is available.

            My husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks during our honeymoon. The unit was very clean and true to the pictures on the internet. We loved the location which was close to the beach but a couple of blocks away from the main street so that it wasn't too noisy in the evenings. We especially enjoyed our morning coffee on the lanai. The internet was fast and reliable. Thank you!

            The unit was exactly as described and photographs accurate. Just as we found it! Pool and jacuzzi were being refurbished so we just swam in the ocean. They will be terrific when finished however - we took a peek at the work being done. Everything you would need to fix simple meals is available - nice linens and comfortable furnishings. No issues at all. Would recommend this property and we will most likely contact owners when we return to the islands. Jeremy was a delight to work with as we made rental arrangements - very helpful. Condo is just a few blocks from the beach and within a block or two of the main transit lines (The Bus and Waikiki Trolley), many restaurants, and a grocery store (Food Pantry) where we found everything we needed. Of course, anyone familiar with Hawaii will know that there are ABC stores every few yards so it's very easy to pick up a last minute carton of milk, a loaf of bread or even bottle of wine. Already missing it and we just got home!

          Owner info

          Year Purchased: 2006

          About the owner: We are both professionals and have traveled quite extensively around the world. We understand what travelers need and what they expect when they are on vacation. We have provided you with those comforts and needs in our condo and assure you that you will be satisfied with what we have to offer and what you expect from our unit when you arrive.

          Why the Owner Chose Island Colony:
          Hawaii is where we spend most of our free time to relax and unwind from our busy schedules. In order to do this most effectively, we decided to buy a condo in Hawaii. We chose Honolulu because it mirrors our lifestyle. It offers the excitement of city life, beaches, good restaurants, shopping and all outdoor activities we like to participate in. Yet, we chose an area in Waikiki where we could also enjoy the quiet side of life in Waikiki. This is now our second home where we are guaranteed to have all our personal items and needs available on a consistent basis. Hotels are unpredictable, even the good ones. By having our own condo, and renovating it with the quality materials we are accustomed to, it has become an extension of our own home on the mainland. We hope that you too will enjoy what we have to offer to ensure that your trip to Hawaii is a pleasant experience.

          The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
          We can completely unwind and relax in our condo. The lanai offers an escape where you have a birds eye view of Honolulu, the Ala Wai Canal and the Ko'olau mountains. Where you can read your favorite book or just sit back and enjoy the view and action below with your favorite drink.
