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!

Loved the location!

Great location! Close to beach, food trucks right across the street ! Restaurants ! Fun, fun, fun! Only 2 things with penthouse, dryer not efficient and beds on the hard side, but with that being said, we all agree we would stay here again! We added another beach board to your 2 you already have and hope you enjoy Waikiki beach as much as we did !

Great location!

Stayed five nights with a big family. The penthouse is located in the middle of major tourist attractions. The beach, restaurants, and stores, we could find almost everything nearby. There was a reviewer saying a bit noisy at night, but it is just acceptable for such a life in the middle of the tourist city. Mark, the host of the penthouse, was really helpful. We arrived earlier than expected, and he allowed us to check in ahead of time. We were so grateful for this offer, especially after a long flight. We really enjoyed the stay in Waikiki. The three bedroom penthouse may be too big for a group of two or three, it’s perfect for a family. We highly recommend.

Family Vaca

Property was just as we hoped! We aren’t “city people” but could appreciate the beauty of downtown Waikiki! We had 6 adults and we had ample room for all of us. There are two additional boogie boards and 2 new backpack chairs added to the outdoor amenities . Could use a better broom ( we got a little whisk broom and dust pan) for sweeping up.The grill is a panini press (not a BBQ 😊) but I did make steaks and pancakes on it. Coffee Maker carafe isn’t the correct one for the pot so it took a little rigging to make the coffee without leaking It was a great place to stay with easy access in and out. Try out the shaved ice downstairs!! Yum!

Great location for large family

This is a prime location to stay. We did rent a car and it was nice to have a parking space included. The host responded well when needed. We did not have any issues during our stay. Had perfect view of the Friday night fireworks from the balcony. It was a short 2 block walk to the beach. Short walk to restaurants and shopping. Nice to have the ABC store if we needed something in a pinch just right at the bottom of the VRBO. Best snow cone shack as well right there. If we had to do it again we agree this was a great place. Allowed Everyone to be in one spot vs multiple hotel rooms. Nice to have a kitchen. We only utilized the refrigerator which was a nice full size one. On weekends it can get a little noisy. I did bring ear plugs and they help block out the nightlife noise.

Location was the biggest plus

If you are looking for a good location then this is a great spot. Its close to downtown Waikiki. With that in mind you get all the city noise, which didnt bother us. Condo was stocked with all the basics which was great, if you plan on doing laundry bring a few tide pods with you. Unit had cold blowing AC in all rooms and main living spaces which is a plus and also hard to find in rentals on the islands. Overall space was perfect for a family of 5. Parking garage is tight due to high traffic at the shave ice shop. I suggest backing your vehicle in when you come and go, its a tight turn and lots of people. We had hiccups when we got there but Mark did remedy it and make it right. He does travel for work so with that and time differences it was sometimes difficult to contact him. We had to call the tow company for a vehicle in the rental spot on our 2nd day. If you are older or handicapped be aware you will have to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs to the 11th floor. Just a friendly heads up. Good condo to crash for the night during your trip.

The Penthouse

we stayed at Mark‘s place for 10 days. Upon arrival until we departed we did not have to need anything. His place is well equipped, clean, roomy, and has nice bathroom products. Whenever I had an issue, Mark was great to reply promptly and resolve the issue if he could. I would encourage anybody with a family to go there. You won’t be disappointed. It’s walking distance to everything, the downtown Waikiki shopping, to the beach, to the souvenir stores, it’s got everything you need right there. And he also gives you a parking space so if you wanna go a little further out in Rent-A-Car, you’re all set. Mark was a wonderful host and I met some of his staff and they’re amazing as well if I go back again, that’s where I’ll stay! Aloha.

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 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!
