Owner info
Year Purchased: 2000
About the owner: My wife and I are retired professionals who have been coming to Hawaii almost every winter for the past 40 years. During those visits, we have stayed at most of the beachfront hotel and rental property along Waikiki including the Ilikai, Hilton, Sheraton, Waikiki Beachcomber, Waikiki Shores, Sans Souci, and of course the Colony Surf Apartments. We rented at the Colony Surf for five years and we just knew that we wanted to have a place of our own at the Colony surf for a major part of our retirement activities.
Why the Owner Chose Diamond Head - Kapahulu - St. Louis, Honolulu, HI, USA:
We chose to buy at Colony Surf Apartments for two main reasons: the QUALITY of the building,and LOCATION.
1) QUALITY - it is an extremely well-constructed concrete building, and units are amenable to be completely remodelled; we relished being able to remodel and re-design the unit for our convenience, comfort and life-style 2) LOCATION: It is a beachfront property, with a swimmer's entrance and beach entrance showers; Direct access to the semi-private beach shared with the Outrigger Canoe Club; surfing, swimming and kayaking are at our front door; We can (and do) beach walk and swim nearly 4 miles from the Colony Surf to the Hilton Lagoon and back on the Waikiki beaches and seawalls; Ideal retirement location, parking included; Many available amenities including Kapiolani Park and Diamond Head just behind us.
The Unique Benefits at this Tower:
All of the highrise buildings on the Gold Coast were constructed in the late 1950's and early 1960's. In the late 1960's, the City and County of Honolulu put a moratorium on high rise construction along the Diamond Head Gold Coast, and limited new building construction to 3 stories (30 feet). The unique benefit is that our viewscapes over the Outrigger and Elks Clubs can never be compromised. It is a peaceful location, but conveniently located next to Kapiolani Park for walking into Waikiki (15 minutes) or jogging (2 miles once around the park). Another unique benefit is that we both lose weight doing our regular Waikiki beach walk /swims! Finally, as we do our walk and swim, we have made many wonderful friends and aquaintances among the regular 'snowbirds' and locals that provides some great daily socializing!
