Beautifully furnished 750 square ft. condo in an oceanfront building, SECURED PARKING INCLUDED.
Fabulous 1 bedroom 1 bath condo that sleeps four( 2 adults and 2 children) ( king bed, and a comfortable pull-out sofa bed). The owner spared no decor for the full kitchen and granite countertops. Steps away from the alluring Pacific Ocean. Enjoy the beautiful sunsets, swimming, surfing, or jog around the famous Kapiolani Park. The aquarium and zoo are just a stroll away. Walk to Waikiki Beach, shops, and restaurants. Visit the most popular "Farmers Market" on Saturdays at the Kapiolani Community College. Only minutes away. If tennis is your forte, walk across the street to the courts of Kapiolani Park or the Diamond Head tennis courts. Also pickle ball courts. The Gold Coast is waiting for you to enjoy its everlasting beauty.

Easy access to Waikiki and Honolulu as well as the windward side of the island but was away enough from the hustle and bustle of the city. We loved it and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for this type of rental for your vacation!

Great Place to Stay!

The condo was the perfect place to stay. We did activities all over the island and having the condo near Waikiki but in a quiet area was ideal to come back to. Can still walk to the beach (5min). Parking spot was convenient too, I wouldn’t recommend renting a large vehicle though because the garage is pretty tight. 5 stars!

Wonderful Stay on the Gold Coast

The property was clean, welcoming and perfectly located for us in south Waikiki near diamond head. It is on the ocean with a grassy area overlooking the water, just short walk on the sea wall to stairs that allow for a dip. There are a few nice beaches a short walk from the building as well as the zoo, aquarium and restaurants of Waikiki a bit further down the road. The hosts were very nice and waited for us even though we were delayed in renting our car. We would definitely stay here again.

Kid to UH Manoa...

We searched for a place to stay on Oahu to get pur kiddo settled for college on-island and this fit the bill perfectly. Central location and only about 10min drive to the campus. The three of use were comfortable for the short time our daighter was with us before dorm move-in. The unit was spacious, clean, and within walking distance to all that Waikiki offers BUT not the crazy hussle of the Typlical waikiki nutz.

Amazing condo

This condo was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for us. The pictures do NOT do it justice! It had everything we needed, couldn’t have asked for a better place. The Waikiki strip was only about a 15-20 min walk and was not bad at all. The nearest beach was only a 5 min walk and was perfect, not crowded. They also provide 4 beach chairs! And if you have more than 2 kids they also provide an extra foam mattress. If you’re on the fence, book it!

Ideally located, clean & well stocked

Nice beaches just a short walk away, Kapiolani Park across the street, Diamond Head and Waikiki within walking distance. Convenient location for getting around by car or uber, and the parking space is a huge plus. The kitchen had all the essentials including pots, pans, utensils, knives etc and a decent amount of seasonings and oil. The unit has plenty of soap, shampoo, conditioner, and bath and beach towels. There are washers and dryers available in the garage, and we never had any trouble finding open machines when we needed them. Common area/lawn was great for watching sunsets and we were lucky enough to see a whale. Overall this was a perfect location and size for the 2 of us, and Terri was an excellent host!

Beautiful, quiet, clean

Beautiful and convenient apartment. Spacious and well appointed. Owners are great in communication and helping get oriented. Apartment includes parking spot . Building has elevator. Beach access is difficult due to 5' high rockery and very rocky beach. Nice swimming beach 5 minute walk away. Waikiki Is a15 minute walk. Would highly recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to be close in but away from the noise and hustle and bustle. Mahalo

Perfect spot for Honolulu stay

Close to the action of Waikiki but quiet and set along fountain and parks. Parking spot is a plus as we had a car. The “backyard” is lovely to relax in and we saw a pod of whales blowing and breaching while we were on the lawn. We mitigated the high cost of dining by having most of our meals in our condo. The well equipped kitchen allowed baking of local fish (from Tomashiro market), Thai curry with veggies from the farmers market and Japanese Nabe, among other things. The king system bed provided comfy sleeps, the large TV a fun movie night with sushi and the large windows let in oven breezes, the sound of the waves and good natural light. All in all it was a comfy home away from home.

Spacious with all amenities and a free parking space

This condo is located in a quieter part of Waikiki which my husband and I preferred, within a short walking distance of Sans Souci Beach and the Aquarium. A few more blocks gets you into the middle of Waikiki. It's a generous size with beautiful Asian decor, a lot of closet space, a full kitchen and a beautiful shower and bathroom.There are beach chairs and towels and other amenities. It was very humid and hot so the a/c was much appreciated. The bed was great, too. Having a parking space in a secure garage was a huge plus where we didn't have to rely on valets and paying the hefty daily fees. The Kaimana New Otani Hotel is nearby and has a little convenience store where we'd buy bottled water because the tap water wasn't great. There's also The Hau Tree Lanai Restaurant there overlooking the ocean for breakfast and lunch.

Absolutely Wonderful!!

Absolutely gorgeous furnishings and very thoughtfully appointed. Beautiful fully equipped kitchen has everything you will ever need…even a rice cooker! The bathroom is just as lovely! Terri supplies wonderful soap, shampoo and conditioner so you don’t have to bring anything. There is a parking space in the gated garage so you always feel safe. Not that there is anything to worry about in this neighborhood at all but we live in San Francisco so that is always on our minds. There was a very strong wind storm happening and Terri made sure we felt secure and texted us to let us know about the two lanterns she had supplied in case there was a black out. So thoughtful and caring!! This property is located on the ocean side of the street and has a very comfortable, well kept outside lounging area for guests overlooking the water on the ground floor and is equipped with lounge chairs, table and chairs. If you feel like taking a walk, there is a large, pretty park across the street or you can walk left or right down the sidewalk. It’s not a busy street like the downtown Waikiki area so it’s really peaceful. I highly recommend staying here!!!

We stayed at this condo on our visit to Oahu a couple weeks ago. The property was very clean and beautifully decorated. You could tell that Terri and her husband had added many special touches to the condo and it was very comfortable! They met us on arrival and were responsive to anything we needed. We loved the location near the park and were able to drive to nearby restaurants and attractions. I highly recommend this place if you need a condo in Oahu!
