About this property

Impeccable Penthouse - Ocean & Diamondhead Views

PANORAMIC OCEAN, DIAMOND HEAD & KAPOLANI PARK VIEWS. It's a première residential lifestyle ON THE GOLD COAST! A brief 15 minute breathtakingly beautiful walk to Waikiki’s famous beaches, shopping, dining and nightlife.

This is not a tired old Waikiki hotel room with a sliver of an ocean view and smelly carpets. The views are incredible! As are the trade winds.

Located AT THE TOP of the Diamond Head Beach Hotel, this penthouse STUDIO has panoramic views of Diamond Head to the east and Waikiki to the west, including ocean, mountain and park views. Some guests have likened it to a crows nest due to the outstanding views.

Stylish and tastefully renovated -- with Travertine floors, Cherry Wood cabinets, African Ivory granite counter tops, white Island Shutters, white leather chairs, indigenous Koa wood furnishings, Kohler bath products, 52" HD TV, Digital Cable, HBO, FREE Password Protected Secure High Speed Wi-Fi, and a Memory Foam King bed with Egyptian cotton sheets help to make your stay comfortable, tranquil and rejuvenating. All you need to do is open the windows and take it in!

There is no real need for a car -- you won't want to leave this highly desirable Gold Coast neighborhood with everything you need within walking distance. The Bus stops out front and we have UBER & Lyft and Biki as available as well (although we are not the most bike friendly city). There is a laundry room in the basement / garage, and there are several car parking stalls for rent--if you must.

The BEST reasons for selecting my Impeccable Penthouse -- AWESOME OCEAN VIEWS, QUALITY OF LIFE, and LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! All within 15 minutes walking distance of Waikiki, but far enough away from the excitement and buzz (cars & music) that you can sleep with the windows open and let the pacific ocean ebb and flow lull you to sleep.

Please read my guest's comments and see for yourself.

My Penthouse is a dream vacation location with an opportunity to create some of life’s most unforgettable moments. So what are you waiting for? Check my calendar for availability and Book It Now! I’m waiting to hear from you!

With Aloha

PS Our lovely lawn is rarely used so you might consider spending some time relaxing on a lounge chair in the shade of the palm trees and read a book.

This little Penthouse at the foot of Diamond is a little gem! I used to live on Oahu and I can tell you that the location is perfect! Quiet with incredible views and just a five minute walk into all the action Waikiki has to offer. With a view on both side of the penthouse you get practically 360 degree beautiful views of all of Waikiki and Honolulu. I could lay in bed and have my coffee while watching the sunrise over Diamond Head to my right and look over to my left and see Waikiki and the Wainai coast! The suite was very clean and had all the necessities one could need for a vacation stay in Hawaii. The one thing that stood out the moist was Jan, the owner. She truly was a Super Host!

Beautiful View and Great Location

Cozy and clean, can’t beat the view and location. Jan was a great communicator and her listing is accurate. We’ve stayed in various Waikiki locations and this was ideal for us. If you plan to rent a parking space, a mid-size SUV is the largest you should get.

Loved Jan

Had a great stay. Only about one mile walk to Waikiki so we got the quiet of Diamond Head but a short jaunt to the faster pace of Waikiki. Rented through Turo twice. Both cars were only 1/2 a mile away so it was very centrally located. Jan was great! Very helpful.

Extraordinary Experience!

I adore this property and it was one of my best vacations ever! The area was safe, peaceful, and quiet with stunning, captivating views but so close to all the restaurants, shopping and energy of the heart of Waikiki. I love how close it sits to the tennis/pickleball courts at Diamond Head and enjoyed a daily walk on Diamond Head Road with magical views. Jan was delightful and provided many wonderful recommendations. The condo had everything I needed and the breezes made for the most refreshing experience when at the condo. There is nothing I can think of that could be improved upon as this rental is a treasure!

Nice property with beautiful views

The property is nice and the patio area is perfect for peaceful sun bathing. The room itself is cozy with nice views, a nice breeze, and a comfortable bed. There are a couple minor things that could be repaired such as the towel rack coming out of the wall and the shower head feeling loose. The room is walkable to restaurants (about a mile to a mile and a half) but we spent a lot of money on Ubers to get to sightseeing things like a luau, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head and restaurants further away. The property felt very safe and the other residents were friendly and welcoming.

Good Choice For Most

This property is perfect for those who value time on the beach as it is very close to the beach. The view is awesome. The room is somewhat more like a New York sublet than what I expected. Its small. Just know that. Also, if shopping and being in the bustling city is more your speed, I would stay elsewhere closer to the shops. Its about .08 mile which is t terrible but gets annoying if you just want to go to ABC store. Overall, really great experience and would recommend!

Peaceful, Beautiful Hawaii at its Best!

We had to, sadly, say goodbye to this wonderful spot at the Diamond Head Hotel & Residences after 8 nights there. We cannot emphasize enough how much we enjoyed our stay. The studio is exactly as described, beautiful, well appointed, with outstanding views from both sides, everything we could need to make our stay as comfortable as our own home. Jan, the owner, was very welcoming and easy to communicate with. She made sure that we had everything that we needed, and answered questions quickly when we had them. My favorite part of our stay was the cooling trade winds that blew through the apartment, the sound of the waves, the change of the weather, and the light at sunrise and sunset. There really are no words adequate enough to describe how much we enjoyed our stay. It certainly changed the way we always viewed staying on this shore, in town, this close to Waikiki. We tend to favor the North Short, but spending time in the Diamond Head neighborhood, with the park, the little hidden beaches, and so may places to walk in the morning, certainly changed our minds. It was simply idyllic. We will most definitely return at some point in the future, and if not us next, some of our Ohana because they most certainly will hear of our experience and see our photos! Mahalo for everything - every little thoughtful touch, your kindness, and for sharing it with us. We loved every minute of our stay.

There was one there to check you in or even tell you how to access the room. Fortunately, someone was leaving and he opened the gate. I had a combination to get in the room, and I found a key fob in the room that I could access the property with. I had to park a long-distance away from the property. It said there was parking for 30 a night. The room was nice, and the views were awesome. I will not stay at VRBO in the future as there always seem to be difficulties. The property is also a mile from the nearest stores and restaurants

Disappointed

Older building, studio was small but well appointed. Views were good, but no private outside space. No access to beach without walking out on the street. Found 2 restaurants within 1/2 mile. One in a fairly pricey hotel. The other was basically a fast food restaurant. If you think you will walk to all waikiki has to offer, think again. My wife and I walk a mile and a half per day, up and down hills. In the heat and humidity, we rarely walked more than 1/2 mile. You need a car. As far as the owner, great communication, but when we decided to leave after the first night, due to the isolation of the property, we inquired about a partial refund. We had rented for 10 nights. All we were hoping was that a token refund would be issued for the very limited use of the property, so little to no wear and tear, and virtually no use of the utilities. The owner would not issue any refund. I realize I had no legal standing to expect a refund, but a few hundred dollars refunded would have been a nice gesture. So, we are unhappy that we concentrated on the owner's beautiful pictures of the view from the studio, and did not research more thoroughly. No pool, limited outside space to relax and "hang" out, few restaurants/bars within walking distance, access to the beach and ocean are along a fairly busy street, and a studio apartment that is about the size of a hotel room, i.e. the "kitchen" contains a microwave, and a coffee maker. We were expecting more.

PARADISE AWAY FROM THE BUSTLING CROWDS

A real gem with all the comforts of home. It has spectacular views, hot water showers, and a comfortable bed with soft linens and fluffy pillows. Outside is a beautiful fountain with Diamond Head looking right down on you. We ate at some of the nicest restaurants within blocks. We walked down to the downtown Waikiki area for dining, sun, and beaches. Take a Lyft, quick, polite, and friendly. Jan is always there, give her a text. She is kind and thoughtful just what makes a visit wonderful!

Great locations and communication

We were very pleased with our stay. There was a flood upstair from us but it was dealt with and Jan was great at communicating. We absolutely loved the the location as it was a great way to get away from the crowded strip of Waikiki proper. It was a perfect 1 mile walk which we enjoyed doing in the morning for coffee and breakfast. The small neighborhood near us was adorable and unlike anything we saw while driving around. We had a car for 4 days (which I highly recommend if you want to explore the whole island) and did not have a problem finding parking out front. Jan had everything we needed in storage to snorkel and chairs plus umbrella for the beach.
