Diamond Head

Perfect spot!! We were there during the storm & it would have been really nice if the water would get hot, it only got warm! The onsite property manager was great. The booking manager was unresponsive or took a long time to respond and when he responded - he did not address our specific questions. Very frustrating. We will be back. Thank you!

Location was amazing - three of us spent 9 days here - the building itself is quite old the condo could use a little more utensils - frying pan and spatula would be awesome - but it was a quite place we quickly grew to enjoy coming back to every day - snorkeling in your backyard and hunting for sea glass - great stay!!

Wonderful property.

Our third trip to Oahu and this was the best stay yet. Close enough to the beaches but just far enough away from the hustle. Highly recommend this property.

Apartment was quiet, nice and clean. Perfect location close to beach access and walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Aquarium and zoo are walking distance. Large park across the street. The efficiency apartment has everything we needed for a couple days on the beach.

Beach front property close to Waikiki

Location, location, location! This small studio condo is just the right and with a beachfront building, offers a quiet respite from the activity of Waikiki just a short ways down Kalakaua Ave. Building is a few minute walk from Kamaina Beach, and being situated on the ocean, offered a grassy area with chairs to relax and enjoy the ocean breezes. Entry with key fob and door code was easy (and we appreciated seeing a security person in the lobby at night though we did not feel unsafe at all). Unit was as advertised - studio with small searing area, tiny lanai, small kitchen and bathroom. Could use a deeper cleaning (dusty floor boards and windows). Some of the windows were difficult to open - it was very breezy during our stay and we didn’t use the air conditioning. Parking was available but we elected to park by the park each day/night and had no issues finding parking. We hope to stay here again when we return to Oahu. It’s a perfect place to use as a home base for visiting. The location can’t be beat!

Happy at Diamond Head

Perfect location with Diamond Head, ocean and Kapiolani Park. Lovely walking location along the beach to Waikiki, yet away from crowds. Quiet, peaceful, romantic. Friendly building. Condo was clean, well appointed with charming retro Hawaiiana decor. The owners were communicative and accommodating.

Nice hotel-type room with small kitchen

This was a good little home base as we explored the island. It’s at the far south end of Honolulu, so it took a little longer to get to anything north since we had to navigate city traffic. Clean, a little dated, quiet, and very close to Diamond Head. The mattress & pillows were not as comfortable as we’d have liked, but we’ve learned to not to expect much of bedding in this price range. Overall a good stay. It was hard to find the right foot traffic entrance when checking in, even with the written directions, and we quickly learned to never leave the room without the fob since it was necessary for getting back in the gate.

Convenience & Chill!

This unit is located in one of the best neighborhoods on O’ahu. Right on the beach, across the street from Kapi’olani Park, and a short drive to some of the best spots on island! We had a remarkable stay! Slept with the lanai door open and could hear the ocean waves, which was amazing. The condo was impressively clean and well-outfitted with everything you might need on vacation. Don’t hesitate to book this spot, I highly recommend!

Location, Location, Location

This place exceeded my expectations. It was clean, quite, and in a great neighborhood/location. You were far away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, but close enough to walk to it. We were able to walk to the beach and restaurants. There is also a small convenience store about a block away. We ate at the local spots which did not disappoint. We walked into Waikiki one night, it made me appreciate where we were staying. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

Why they chose this property

The reason we purchased this condo in the Diamond Head Beach Hotel had to do with the location. We then spent months fully renovating the suite, adding all our favorite touches from ideas gleaned from years of travel around the USA and particularly Hawaii. Our building is perfectly situated at the edge of Waikiki in Kapiolani Park. Located on Waikiki's famous Gold Coast, the condo building sits on the water with ocean on one side and park on the other. We like the location because although Waikiki and all the hustle and bustle are just a 10-15 minute walk from the condo (along the park and several of Waikiki's best beaches), we are just far enough away for it to feel less hectic, more like a residential neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

The suite is spacious and totally modernized, high quality cabinets and everything you'll need for a simple 3 day getaway to a month long stay has been provided. The Queen bed and queen sized sleeper sofa mean four people are able to sleep comfortably.
Unique details such as the reclaimed wood feature walls and custom made sink in the bathroom with match 'one off' tile in the shower add to the 'spa like' feel , There's high quality cotton towels and sheets for added comfort.
