Ocean View Studio - Polu Hale - 2 min Walk from Beach

This Ocean View Studio was perfect my family of 4. My favorite part of the studio was the beautiful view! During daylight and sunset, the ocean view was spectacular! At night and early morning, the city view was equally spectacular! All three beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything (kitchen utensils and dishes) I needed to prepare coffee, smoothies, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The bathroom was roomy and stocked with bath towels and beach towels. The location was perfect! We were able to walk the entire Waikiki area and only drove when we went to the North Shore and the other side of the island. The only problem was (and I was warned about this in other reviews) was the parking. I thought we wouldn't have to pay the $30 a day for parking and we would be able to find a spot on the street near by. That was impossible which is the trade off for such a great location. Next time we will uber from the airport and then rent a car from Alamo (a block down the street) for any excursions. The price of the rental car and the $30 a day really added up. We will absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful view!

We loved this centrally located unit! It included a pool on the roof, and all of the equipment you need for a great time in Oahu. We loved the delicious Hawiian snacks on arrival, boogie boards, beach chairs, towels, snorkels and swim fins!

It was a two-minute walk to the beach, with free ice cold water offered at the door, which was very much appreciated.

The local bus stopped just outside the door and a 24 hour bus pass cost just $5.00. We were glad we took the bus to diamondhead since the parking lot at diamondhead was full. If we had rented a car we would have been out of luck. The Lyft to and from the airport was inexpensive and took less than 3 minutes to arrive.

Gerard was super friendly when we called him to checkout. We highly recommend this unit for your stay in Waikiki!

We loved the Polu Hale, which was even better than expected. The partial ocean views are quite extraordinary, as are the mountain (to the east) and city (to the north) views. The condo is truly a mere 2 minutes away from the ocean, as well as restaurants and shops, and is ideally located for longer walks along the canal, into residential neighborhoods, and the backside of Diamond Head.

The king size bed was wonderful, the shower pressure strong, the kitchen was more than adequate and the bath and beach towels were plentiful. There was a large assortment of beach "toys," including snorkeling gear, and beach chairs stored in the large closet and throughout our entire 7-night stay, we felt completely at home.

Upon arrival, I was delighted to see the collection of books, videos, and games available for both adults and children and the large television which, believe it or not, we didn't turn on once! (That's not like us...) There was just too much to do and when in the room, we spent our time talking and looking out of the windows.

We visit Hawaii every year and have decided, after numerous trips to each of the islands, that we really do like Oahu best (the Waikiki area), in part because of the unlimited walking opportunities. We rented a car for this trip (big mistake...I should have known better...parking was $30 per night) Oahu is the only island where one is not necessary, except as a daily rental for drives around the island.

We haven't decided on a date yet, but we'll be back to Polu Hale in the spring - can't wait to feel that wonderful "aloha" spirit that permeates the air! Thank you, Gerard, for your assistance, professionalism, and friendliness; you were a delight to work with!

The property was well equipped, well situated and very comfortable.

The only negatives was the ac which the owner is working towards improving and the early morning garbage collection each morning .
