Upscale Colony Surf Condo - Direct Beach Front Location
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Diamond Head
This Gold Coast location (at the base of Diamond Head Volcano), is just a 14 minute waterfront walk to busy Waikiki, and across the street from huge and beautiful Queen Kapiolani Park. The quieter neighbourhood appeals to permanent Hawaii residents; a bonus for you.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
There is a semi-private sandy swimming beach at the front of our building, which is shared by our building, and the Outrigger Canoe Club next door. Building has 24 hour security, with staff during the day, and security personnel at night. Two upscale hotels with restaurants, and a small convenience store are within 1/2 block. Renowned Michel's French restaurant is accessed off the lobby of our building.
Owner's Map of Diamond Head
We purchased in this upscale beachfront building, as we were tired of leasing vacation rentals, which were often dirty, and had threadbare furnishings. This is a second home for us, and ownership allows us to maintain our suite to higher standards.
