About this property

Waikiki 2Bed/2Bath Penthouse Ocean/Diamond Head views. Free WIFI, Great Location

You'll be sitting on top of the world at this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath Penthouse with open living room and fully-equipped kitchen.

The jaw-dropping 270-degree view includes Diamond Head, sweeping ocean view, Ala Wai Canal, Ala Wai golf course, Ft DeRussy park, the beautiful Koolau Mountain range, sunrises AND sunsets!

The penthouse is great for families and friends; less expensive than a hotel, has a full kitchen and at over 1000 square feet (large by Waikiki standards) the penthouse will comfortably sleep 6. The ocean-side master bedroom has a king bed, the Diamond Head-side master bedroom has two full beds and the living room has a new high quality Queen sofa bed. In addition, we also have a crib available for no charge. The bedrooms, living/dining room and kitchen all have spectacular views. Every Friday night you can watch the fireworks launched from the nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village, and on special occasions you'll see a bigger show on Waikiki Beach.

You'll have a fully equipped kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, blender, coffee pot and grinder, pots and pans, silverware and just about anything else you need. To top it off, the kitchen has a panoramic ocean view!

One bathroom features a Japanese-style deep bathtub (furo) with shower. The second bathroom has a walk-in shower. You'll also have your own washer and dryer in the penthouse.

A supply cabinet contains beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels and assorted beach items.

You'll enjoy the huge recreation deck with large swimming pool, hot tub, barbecue grills, picnic tables and lounge chairs. There are no resort fees to use these facilities. Also on site is a new fitness center which is ALMOST free: it only costs $5 for your entire stay (not per day!).

There is a large flat-screen TV with cable service and Roku. The free high-speed WIFI is your own private network, not shared with other units, and is powerful enough for the whole family to share their vacation experience.

The Hawaii Convention Center is within walking distance as are the Hilton Hawaiian Village and other venues where conventions are held. If you must do business while in Waikiki there is a desk in one of the bedrooms and also a nook in the dining area.

The Hawaiian Monarch is a mixture of hotel-owned and privately-owned units. There are only 3 other penthouses on the same floor. Four elevators provide access. Our penthouse is privately owned, managed, and maintained; it is not part of the hotel pool.

Parking is available in the onsite parking garage. The garage is privately owned and the rate at the time of this writing is $40/day with full in and out privileges. Parking is not included in the rent as the majority of our guests do not rent a car. The penthouse has a Walk Score of 92 (out of 100). Some guests rent a car for a day of exploring from one of the nearby car rental companies. Turo is available for car rentals, too.

Within walking distance are a great number of restaurants, and shopping including Ala Moana Shopping Center, resorts, grocery and convenience stores, music venues, sports bar, post office, green parks, Waikiki Beach Walk, and of course, Waikiki Beach itself!

Waikiki and the surrounding area have a gazillion things to do. Of course, there is the world's most famous beach. Many water sports are available including surfing, paddle boarding, boogie boarding, snorkeling, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, parasailing and more. There is shopping for everything from souvenir trinkets to high end luxury stores and everything in between.

Hear world-class music at many resorts, Blue Note Jazz Club, the Waikiki Shell, the Blaisdell Arena and local musicians playing rock, jazz, and of course, the soothing sound of Hawaiian music.

Honolulu has an extensive public bus system and there is a bus stop across the street from the penthouse. Buses reach many areas all over the island, including major destinations such as Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Chinatown, Honolulu Airport, Honolulu Zoo, The Aquarium and others.

In addition to all these visitor attractions, there is something else that makes it worth coming to Hawaii: the Hawaiian culture. Aloha is a real thing, not just a buzzword. You'll know it when you experience it. We encourage you to learn about the culture and history via the many museums and to make personal connections with Hawaiian people.

Our local weather person likes to say that we have 'the best weather on the planet'. Is it cold where you are? Come to Waikiki and warm up! Are you suffering from unbearable heat and humidity? Come to Waikiki and cool off! Our average daily temperature is in the low 80s F/ 27 C all year.

This is a legal vacation rental property managed by a licensed real estate broker with over 20 years of experience with Hawaii vacation rentals. You won't have to worry that your rental will be there when you arrive.

Clean, but needs updating
Firstly, Steve was great. Very helpful. The views from the penthouse were spectacular, and in a great location. The penthouse was clean and tidy, but in need of updating. One of the sofas legs broke, and Steve couldn’t fix it, so had to remove all the legs, which felt like you were sitting on the floor ! The other sofa had a cover on it, which I presume was to conceal something. A bathroom light smashed whilst we were watching tv. Made us all jump at the sound of breaking glass ! A towel rail fell off, one of the hairdryers was faulty and tripped the fuse panel. There was a couple of cupboards that were falling apart. We also experienced a power cut and the internet stopped working for the last couple of days, which is obviously no one’s fault. One of the worst things though, was the elevators. Most of the time only 1 seemed to be working. This meant that it took forever to get up and down due to the amount of people using them, and when they were busy, the heat was awful. My wife almost passed out once. The ac in the master bedroom kept going off too. Other than these points, we had a great time, but wouldn’t go somewhere that old again. I believe the hotel in which the penthouse is located, is a 2 star, which is probably right

Great condo with an awesome view
This is a wonderful vacation rental with terrific views! The beach is about 1 km. away (not very far to walk at all) and there are restaurants and food trucks close by. We enjoyed walking along the canal too.

A Truly Amazing Apartment!
This has to be one of the best apartment rentals we have ever had anywhere in the world! The description and photos were absolutely spot on, and the apartment was exactly as presented -- but better, because the view was incredible! We stayed a week, and still did not tire of just looking out the windows! Steve, the owner, was great. He provided timely and excellent advice and suggestions, such as the weekly farmer's markets. He was always immediately responsive and available, and was genuinely interested in making sure that we had everything we needed for an enjoyable visit. And we certainly did! The furnishings were comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped. The Roku TV was also an added benefit! The hotel elevators were prompt and efficient, and the coffee shop in the lobby provided excellent pastries and coffee if desired in the mornings. We truly could not have asked for a better place to stay in Waikiki, and will definitely plan on a return visit!

Great view
The condo was very comfortable and clean. The view is outstanding being able to see the ocean and Diamond Head. We can also see the fireworks from the Hilton on Friday night. The building is older but the security is good. We would stay again

What a view
From the first time we made contact with Steve, everything was so smooth. He kept in contact with us throughout arrival and departure. The building is in a prime location, overlooking Wakakki Beach. Walking distance to food venues, bars shopping..etc. We only had to use our rental car 1 day, because we went to the Punchbowl Cemetery, and took a ride to see a waterfall. The penthouse was clean and fully equipped. We just had to find a market to get water, coffee, etc. That was all in walking distance. I highly recommend a stay here on your next visit to Oahu. Thanks for everything.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Marcotte

Host profile image
We have owned and managed Hawaii Vacation Rentals since 1993 and helped many thousands of guests to enjoy their stay in paradise. We are a boutique vacation rentals and real estate sales company that focuses our attention on a small number of properties.

Steve is a real estate broker and has been licensed in Hawaii since 1999. We have traveled extensively and this gives us an understanding of what our guests need to make their stay enjoyable and safe. And being owners of rentals provides us with the experience to help others buy and sell rentals and second homes.

We founded a vacation rental company named A Piece of Paradise on Hawaii Island (aka The Big Island) in 1996 and managed wonderful vacation homes in a special area named Kapoho. In 2011 we sold A Piece of Paradise and began relocating to Honolulu. A multi-year search for properties followed, and our hard work paid off!

In addition to managing our own properties we also love to help others buy their own piece of paradise in Hawaii. Even if you cannot live in Hawaii full time, It is a wonderful feeling to know that you have property here and you can come whenever you want. And when you are not staying at your property the rent can help pay the bills.
