Lumi Nalu, translated, means "the surf room." Look out in either direction from the main living room in this one bedroom condo and see the surf as it breaks. Watch the surfers and sailboats frolic in the water. Sit on the cushy sofa and gaze out at the ocean, cityscape, park, and mountains.
The beautifully furnished, living room includes imported, Indonesian, dark-wood, plantation-style furniture and queen-size pull-out sofa. (To link to our website and see more photos and get more information, make sure and click the "Click Here - Diamond Head Oceanfront Condos" link below.)
Open the windows on each side of Lumi Nalu and feel the comforting trade winds as they gently blow through the condo. A unique feature of the building is that each floor is only one unit wide, so getting a cooling cross breeze year-round is accomplished by opening windows on each side of the unit. Of course, air conditioning is provided for those seeking the "ultra cool" experience.
Experience one of Oahu's most desired locations, the "Gold Coast." Home to awesome restaurants, the Gold Coast is near everything but away from it all!

Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Diamond Head Beach Hotel
The reason we purchased our condos in this building had to do with the location. It is perfectly situated at the edge of Waikiki in Kapiolani Park. Located on Waikiki's famous Gold Coast, the condo building sits on the water with ocean on one side and park on the other. We like the location because although Waikiki and all the hustle and bustle are just a 10-15 minute walk from the condo (along the park and several of Waikiki's best beaches), we are just far enough away for it to feel less hectic, more like a residential neighborhood.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Due to the nature of our building being only 1 condo wide, you can open up windows on each side of the condo and enjoy Hawaii's famous trade breezes nearly year-round.
Owner's Map of Diamond Head Beach Hotel
Our love of Hawaii began 20 years ago. After years of coming to the islands, we decided to buy a studio so we would have a place to be. One thing lead to another (mainly we found a building on the ocean that we loved!)...and we ended up owning several vacation rentals in our building on Waikiki's Gold Coast. Today, we have 2 units...a 1 bedroom ocean view (vrbo 49561) and a 2 bedroom oceanfront (vrbo 41987). We stay in our condos 3-4 times a year and are constantly maintaining the decor, updating the amenities, painting, and keeping them in awesome condition!

Great Accommodating Owner

First off, best location and great condo. If you have never been to Oahu, this is the best area to stay in town. Great views and on the quiet end of Waikiki with great panoramas of Diamond Head and the Pacific. The owner is more than accommodating. He is honest and fair in everything he describes and tells you and was a pleasure to book through. I would highly recommend staying at any of his three Oahu locations. The places are clean, tastefully decorated and are a great deal compared to everything around them.

Everything written on VRBO is accurate, as are the photos. Actually, I think the photos don't do justice to the place :-) Airy, great 10th-floor views from both sides, cozy and welcoming. The owners have a real eye for detail, decor, comfort and beauty. Very well-maintained. We've always avoided condos up until now, since they seem so generic and sterile, but this unit felt like Hawaii, which is what we liked so much ... the vibe was great, and so peaceful. Location was perfect for us, at this quiet end of Waikiki, in the Diamond Head neighborhood. We enjoyed the walk into Waikiki, sometimes along the beach and sometimes through Kapiolani Park. Safe location, we walked home late at night (11pm or so), no problem. Right near Sans Souci beach, and one can also "bob" down in the ocean right out front, and enjoy the pleasant commons outside area. We stayed for a week and would love to have stayed longer. For us mountain dwellers, nothing beats the sound of the surf 24/7. Also, Mike was very helpful, prompt and professional with e-communications and info prior to our stay. So ... Big Mahalo to the owners, who made our stay memorable.

I don't know where to start ! Yes ! It is that enjoyable ! This condo is just as described & more ! It is beautifully decorated, spotless, quiet, and has everything one needs to make your stay in Hawaii wonderful - right down to the beach towels & beach chairs. We instantly feel right at home. I started each morning by warming up for a jog taking the sidewalk out front the condo, then there is a nice wide jogging path that runs right next to the ocean all the way into Waikiki. In the evenings, its great for a leaisurely walk to dinner with plenty of restaurants to choose from - & the shopping is amazing. Walk out the door of the condo, take the elevator, & you have a great place to snorkel, swim, paddle board, and surf or to just relax & watch everyone else at these activities. Great in the evening to kick back & watch the sunset from the lawn chairs in the grass. When one does take the time to sit & enjoy, the view from the dining room table is of Diamondhead and the sunrise over the ocean. If sitting on the couch in the living room - or even from the bedroom - you're looking out at the beautiful Pacific with sunshine - then your eyes move to the right and your looking over Kapiolani Park all the way to the Manoa Valley with the big, amazing clouds drooping over the mountains beyond. I'm still not sure which I think is prettier ! The owner makes renting a smooth & easy process from the very 1st contact, with clear instructions on entry, underground parking, etc. Not our 1st stay here - & definitely not our last !

A Wonderful Oasis

"Lumi Nalu" is a real gem, an oasis of calm in frenetic Waikiki. From the moment you first walk through the door, this very well managed and spotless apartment exudes the peacefulness of well loved, beautifully appointed home. The kitchen, for those who like to stay in some nights, is excellent - well stocked with the essentials and a marvellous range of utensils. But dining out is a chinch - some of the very best restaurants in Oahu a short stroll away. The owners, who are a real pleasure to deal with, will arm you in advance with helpful advice on where to dine, what to see and do. Great. Whilst there is no balcony, this is more than compensated for with the marvellous view from the very comfy sofa. For the ultimate pleasure, a wine or two just feet from the water's edge whilst watching the sun go down in the hotel's private beach front garden is not to be missed. And yes, you really can hear the surf from bed and even the fountain in the park opposite. For those of us who seek a relaxing holiday, this fits the bill perfectly.
