About this property

Rare Unobstructed Diamond Head-Ocean Views, Best location, Pool, 1 minute to Beach

We are so excited to add this legally permitted studio to our Waikiki vacation rentals. Located only a minute from Waikiki Beach, this piece of paradise on the 9th floor of a 10-story building provides unobstructed views. Instead of staring at another condo building, you'll see the greenery of Kapiolani Park, the Honolulu Zoo, Diamond Head, and Waikiki Beach. Yet it is very close to all the wonderful Waikiki Amenities.

We looked at rooms in this building for ten years and finally found this fantastic studio. We installed new granite counters, a full-size refrigerator, a kitchen sink, high-quality split air conditioning, a 40" flat-screen TV, and much more. Stay connected with complimentary high-speed fiber optic cable WIFI and enjoy streaming your favorite shows on Netflix, Amazon Video, and others on the internet-connected TV.

It is an excellent location for those that love the outdoors. The lovely Kapiolani Park and the beach are across the street, where you can walk, run, surf, boogie board, swim, and even hike up Diamond Head! It is also the perfect location if laying on the beach is your form of exercise!

Is surf up? Just look out the window to find out! The prime boogie-boarding spot in Waikiki is only 1 minute away and we provide two adult-size boogie boards, two Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs and a beach umbrella. Adjacent to the boogie-boarding site is a huge beach area protected by a sea wall that forms a gigantic saltwater pool with lifeguards for added safety.

Though the room is on the small side, you have a table and chairs on your private lanai (balcony) with an unobstructed Diamond Head and ocean view; you also have use of the huge observation deck with stunning views on the 10th floor.

Parking is available at the on-site parking garage at Waikiki's most reasonable rate, especially considering that we are virtually across the street from the world's most famous beach. Details on reserving parking are provided after booking.

The room comes with free private WIFI, flat screen tv, cable TV, all linens, beach towels, full size refrigerator, microwave, toaster, induction cooktop with pots and pans, coffee maker, toaster, dishes and utensils, iron and ironing board, two full-size boogie boards, 2 Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs, and a small beach cooler.

For your convenience and security, we will ask you for a code that is easy for you to remember, and we will use it to set the keypad lock to the room.

The Waikiki Grand Hotel offers fantastic amenities, including a beautiful lobby (with a grand piano), front desk concierge services, a swimming pool, coin operated laundry facilities, a hamburger restaurant, another restaurant/bar, onsite parking garage, two elevator and the 10th floor boasts a remarkable observation deck with panoramic views of Diamond Head, Kapiolani Park, the Honolulu Zoo, and Waikiki Beach.

Very convenient location in Waikiki with the zoo, beach and shops just minutes away. Enjoyed the view of Diamond Head and the ocean when sitting on the lanai. The host checked on us several times to make sure things were going well. The unit is quite small but has the basic amenities.

Excellent location to stay!

We absolutely loved this place! It is small but has everything needed for 2 people to stay comfortably for well over a week. The views from the balcony are amazing! It is right on the edge of the busy beach area so it is perfect for those that want to have access to the fancy shops and restaurants but if that’s not your thing, it’s easy to avoid. Building is literally a 3 minute walk to the beach, and the room has everything needed for hanging at the beach! Would 100% stay here again!

Phenomenal View & Great Location

The condo was located so close to the beach, many great restaurants, and shopping establishments. This made our stay so convenient. The condo was clean and comfortable. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki beach from the condo and our balcony was absolutely phenomenal! The condo owner, Steve is kind, professional, and was very timely with his responses. We will definitely be returning!

This property met our expectations. In choosing a property, our top priority was a lanai (balcony) with a great view of the ocean. So many of the properties and hotels in the area have obstructed views. We were aware that the room would be on the small size. And while it was a little cramped, it was serviceable. The interior is a bit dated, bit everything was clean and functional. The also has AC. The view from the lanai was spectacular and unobstructed. We had a great view of both the ocean and Diamond Head. We spent a lot of time on the lanai during our one week stay. This is a hotel and there were staff available at all times. The location is a half block from the beach and was walkable to everything on Waikiki. We were able to reserve onsite parking for 35 per day. You do need to reserve online. The owner Steve was extremely attentive. He was great during the booking process and checked in a few times during our stay. All in all, we were very happy with the accommodations and will miss the daily stays on the lanai

Great Location !

Upon arrival we had to purchase sheets and pillows for the room as the bed liens were not clean at all. We called and the owner made things good right away and we enjoyed the rest of our stay. It was a great place to stay as it's location to Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. If you are looking for a place to stay I'd give this place a try, and we will if staying in this area again.

Little piece of paradise!

We loved our stay with Steve as host! From booking until final checkout, the process was easy - he checked in a few times to see if we needed anything or if the property needed any attention. The location of the property is perfect if you want to explore Waikiki area and it’s easy to navigate in/out of to go explore the rest of Oahu. The best part is the views from your balcony! Perfect view of diamond head and you do get to see some ocean/beach, you can even see the Waikiki fireworks from the balcony or go to the top floor and have a prime viewing spot. 10/10 recommend booking with Steve as he is an attentive host and makes the process so easy.

Wonderful find! It reminds me of a small boutique hotel in NYC. From the lanai you can see Diamond Head, the Honolulu Zoo, a park, Waikiki Beach, and lots of sailboats on the ocean. A half block from the beach, so of course there is street noise but you won’t hear it if you shut the door and window. Anything you want is within walking distance. Great communication from the owner and the Waikiki Grand Hotel. Friendly and helpful. The room is small but you’re on Oahu and you don’t really spend much time in the room!

Needs updating

The location and view were great, but the property could use remodeling. Good linens and a comfortable bed would improve the overall stay. The owner was very communicative and willing to help, but the company managing the building was subpar. The check in process was confusing. We had to go up to the 5th floor to an office/hotel room piled high with towels and cleaning supplies. There was barely room for two people to fit in the office. The view was what made this property tolerable.

We stayed on this property for our honeymoon. My husband and I loved the room it was smaller but the size was just fine for the two of us. You have a great view of the beach and the mirrors in the room make it so you’re essentially looking at the beach the whole time. Loved that. Location was awesome, one minute walk to the beach where it’s less crowded and close walk to all the main Waikiki stuff. Room was very clean and comfortable. Loved hanging out on the lanai every morning and night. Will definitely book this property again on our next visit.

Only streaming services available on the tv are Netflix and Amazon.Pictures make the room seem bigger and cleanerTemperature of the shower is inconsistent but it is mentioned on the wall of the bathroomOne of the beach chairs were broken and the umbrella was kind of broken. Both were still usable.The room seems like it hasn't had a thorough cleaning in a couple years.

This unit is perfect if you don't plan to be in the room for long or cooking any meals. There is a full size fridge and a small coffee pot; clean linens and amenities for the beach(chairs, umbrella, towels, boogie boards, small cooler). It is just across the street from the beach and plenty of shopping and restaurants. Not sure if I would call it a studio apartment, as it is extremely small; the bar stools and oversized chair make it seem even smaller and they feel a bit too big for the space.While we did have some issues getting into the unit and difficulty with TV & wifi, Steve did attempt to resolve issues and communicated with us often. Overall, a nice, small unit if you need a place to sleep and want to be close to the beach.

Waikiki Grand Studio Stay

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at Waikiki Grand Hotel. Sipping coffee on the balcony with the view of Waikiki beach was truly relaxing. The studio had everything you need to cook a quick meal and make coffee. The bed was comfortable. Beach accessories and surfing equipment is available if needed. Restaurants and convenience stores are steps away including the Honolulu Zoo. Steve went out of his way to make sure our check in and check out went smoothly. He checked in periodically to make sure everything was ok. We will definitely stay there again in the future!
