About this property

5 minutes from Waikiki Beach, Ocean Views, Free Parking, Wifi & Cable TV

Waikiki is Hawaii's number one tourist destination. The penthouse condo has ocean views and is steps away from Waikiki Beach and has a partial view of the iconic slopes of Diamond Head Crater. It is a short walk to the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Hale Koa and Royal Hawaiian Hotel. With a complete renovation in 2018, it's the best of both worlds, the quaint 1960's Waikiki with jalousie windows, original teak parquet flooring in entrance and living room, exquisite tile bathrooms and flooring in both baths and kitchen. Enjoy your stay with covered parking, wifi internet, and cable television which are included at no extra charge. As of August of 2019, we have split A/C throughout - in each of the 3 bedrooms and in the living room/dining room areas. There are no hidden resort fees, and families of 8 persons can stay together with all of the amenities of home & more!

Nearby are the 500-acre Kapiolani Park, Waikiki Aquarium, Honolulu Zoo and some of Hawaii’s finest restaurants and hottest nightspots. It beckons a slower time, listening to Hawaiian music and enjoying a cocktail from the expansive wrap-around lanai. Just a few paces to the end of Beach Walk road is the Halekulani and the The House without a Key, a popular indoor/outdoor gathering spot immortalized in a 1925 Charlie Chan novel of the same name.

We are a family-owned, resort-zoned property located at 247 Beach Walk, Honolulu 96815.

Family vacation

Excellent place with lots of space and walking distance to food/shopping. Enjoyed the lanai, you can see fireworks at night. Conveniently had supplies for the beach: chairs, umbrella, towels & some beach toys which came in handy. Parking was a little tight but worked for our van. Would definitely stay again!

great family location on Waikiki

My wife and I stayed here with our son and his family (wife and children 13, 11, and 9). The unit was great with fantastic view of Waikiki including the Friday night fireworks display. /it was just 5 minutes off the beach on Waikiki and close to lots of shopping and restaurants. Beach chairs, boogie boards, and beach towels were provided for our use. There were lanais on eacj each end with seating on both. We loved staying here, and it was a very beautiful and classy introduction to Hawaii for my our son's family. Mahalo!

Wonderful stay by Waikiki beach

Great location and size! The penthouse is located close to Waikiki beach and has a beautiful view of the skyline on both sides of the wrap around balcony. Really spacious 3 bedroom with large living room. Mark is very responsive and the access is secure since you need an elevator key. The building is really close to the shopping street, with all brand names stores. Highly recommend! Hope to be back.

Great Waikiki Location and Views

Centrally located close to the beach and eateries. Great views and easy assigned parking spot. Beds are all comfortable and the unit was clean. Our adult group loved this property. You may not want to stay here if you cannot walk up a flight of stairs, you have little kids or if city noise at night bothers you.

Awesome Property

Located in a perfect area of Waikiki--1000 steps to the beach. Penthouse with a wrap around veranda. We could see the water despite being a block from the beach. Great restaurants, great shopping. Such a lovely penthouse condo and so comfortable.

Good & Bad- Honest review

This location offered close beach and store/restaurant access. Along with the 3 bedrooms we required. There are also some negatives that i wish i would have know because they would have been a deal breakers. 1st - the elevator only goes to 10th floor, you have to then walk up a flight of stairs to get to penthouse. I need a knee replacement so this proved challenging. 2nd - me and my son shared the room by front door, the garbage men pick up garbage at 2am everyday. So everyday we got woken up at 2am hearing the garbage being dumped in alley. 3rd- yes there is parking but its a very small garage on bottom of building. Very hard to maneuver in and out of. 4th - the furniture is VERY broken in, meaning not supportive or comfortable. So this is penthouse on 11th floor,

Great location. Average hospitality

Location was perfect. Very close to beach, Shave Ice on bottom level. Great Italian food next door. ABC for essentials a couple doors down. Starbucks 5 min walk away. Only bit that was lacking were the extra touches like stocked coffee, bathroom toiletries, and needs updated decor. There was also a small set of stairs from 10th to 11th level that was unexpected and a little difficult with luggage.

Super location

This is the best condo we’ve stayed in in Waikiki. The unit is well equipped and the beds are comfortable. It has A/C throughout but with all the patio doors we were very comfortable without using the A/C. Mark was very responsive with any minor questions we had. This will be our Waikiki spot when we return.

About the host

Why they chose this property

The panoramic Waikiki penthouse is a rare three bedroom condo in one of the most desired locations on the makai or ocean side of Kalakaua Avenue.

What makes this property unique

On lovely Beach Walk street, the penthouse property is directly adjacent to the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, Trump Hotel Waikiki and Embassy Suites Waikiki. We are a short walk to the Halekalani Hotel, Sheraton Waikiki and Royal Hawaiian Hotel, and a 10 to 15 minute walk to the Hale Koa Hotel and the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
