About this property

Ocean & Diamond Head Vu; Full Kitchen; Free Wifi; 2 min. walk to the beach

Legally permitted rental - 2450 Koa Ave #92
Located in the heart of Waikiki steps from the beach, at The Seashore. On the 9th floor of a 10 floor building, near the Hyatt Regency and the Duke Kahanamoku statue.

This beautifully and comfortably furnished ocean and Diamond Head view unit is in one of the most ideal and desirable locations in Waikiki. This renovated unit features a pillowtop/small coil queensize bed (and a full sleep sofa), a 28" LG HD flat screen tv with cable, and high speed Internet. There is a full kitchen with full-size oven/range, microwave, refrigerator and all of the small appliances/dishes/pan/flatware that you will need.

The lanai has dining furniture to enjoy beautiful mornings and tranquil evenings. Within two blocs of the unit you will enjoy the convenience of an ABC store, fast food, fine dining, countless outdoor activities as well as beautiful Kuhio Beach. We have beach chairs, beach mats, towels, coolers and everything you'll need for a day at the beach.

Small and convenient, the building is called The Seashore because it is 150 feet from Waikiki Beach at the Hulu Mound. There is a community laundry, two elevators, secured entry to the lobby. No parking at the building but available at adjacent locations.

Covid-19 information for our travelers:
1. In addition to our normal great cleaning, we will use anti-viral cleaners with particular attention to heavily used items (knobs, switches, remotes, bath fixtures, etc.).
2. We will provide sanitizing liquid and masks in the condo.

It is a great little unite in such a good spot, close to everything!!!

We enjoyed our stay, very comfortable and walking distance to everything and public transport. We hire a car for a couple of days from just across the road, that was great fun to explore the island.

Breathtaking views!

My husband and I stayed at Mike's condo in The Seashore, overlooking Diamond Head and the ocean for 8 days. It was 2 blocks from watching the sunset over the ocean, and easy drives to a rum place, coffee and a cacao farm for great tours. Mike was attentive to our needs, comfort, and very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend travelers contact him for a great experience with lodging.

Top Tier Host

Mike was amazing! He was super sweet and welcoming. He was so helpful from the moment we landed. He helped guide me to an appropriate parking lot and even stayed on the phone with me until I parked. I had mentioned wanting to try Hawaiian food and he dropped off some Hawaiian treats before we checked out. Check in/out was seamless. By far the BEST lodging experience I’ve had thus far. Also, the unit is central to everything we wanted to do. FYI, if you end up renting a car the Waikiki sunset parking garage (put it in your gps) is the cheapest and closest (8 min walk.)

Great stay

This was a fabulous, well-appointed, centrally located condo and Mike was such a great host. We arrived on Lei Day (May 1), and didn't realize this is a big celebration here. Mike let us know, and we visited the park down the road per his suggestion (it was fun - dance performances, booths, and food!). This location was perfect for our visit - close to our daughter, right in the middle of the heart of Waikiki for shopping and eating, and SO close to the beach. We had everything we needed in the condo, it was arranged well so didn't feel small. Even the ledge of the bathtub made a nice shelf. We used the cooler and water jug for our daily excursions, and rented the surf boards from downstairs one evening. Overall, we explored the island outside of Waikiki/Honolulu daily then hung out around the condo each evening. We generally ate at the various food trucks close by then walked down the main strip to people watch/shop. It was also easy to catch the sunset each evening on the beach. Parking at the Waikiki Banyan parking garage was actually not that bad, it was just a 4 block walk to get there. And any time we needed anything, there were ABC stores everywhere. We would definitely stay here again and Mike was lovely to work with. The location for this area was absolutely ideal!

Beach and mountain breakfast view

From beginning to end a fantastic and memorable experience! The communication before and during our stay with our host Mike was excellent. We were very pleased to find a lovely treat waiting for us upon our arrival. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking appliances and utensils so that we could prepare our own meals as planned. The unit was clean, quiet and conveniently located, really only a few steps away from the beach. Due to the convenient location we either walked or took public transportation everywhere we went, including to and from the airport. It was absolutely wonderful waking up every morning and having breakfast on the lanai with a relaxing view of the beach and Diamond Head. We found the unit nice and cozy for the two of us. We would definitely stay here again without hesitation. Mahalo Mike.

Book this place!

My sister and I spent a month here in May, and I could not recommend this place enough! The check-in process was so easy and the condo ended up being ready for us early. The place was super clean, has great views, and is one block from Waikiki Beach and ABC Stores, plus close to so much shopping and restaurants (Recommend Pai's Deli, The Sunrise Shack, Paia Fish Market!). Very walkable but also close to the bus line and car rentals. We felt really safe as two young women, as there is a restaurant next door as well as other hotels so there are always people around and the area is well lit. The building door is locked all the time as well so only people with keys can get in. The place is small, but feels a lot bigger when you open the curtains and let in all the natural light. We only ran the A/C at night as it's almost constantly breezy and comfortable. Book this place!

This is a great location, affordable, has everything you need. It's close to everything. I stayed with my 9 year old daughter. It's safe, secure, super convenient. Communication was great, super flexible keyless entry to avoid having to deal with keys. Quiet side of the building. Ocean views. Kitchen. A block from the beach. Right next to Moku, the best place to rent boards in Waikiki.

A Block to The Beach!

We had a fabulous week here! Mike was super responsive and even had fresh homemade muffins, which were delicious, waiting for us upon arrival. The place had everything we needed. Location was close to everything at a fraction of the cost! Awesome view of Diamond Head and the ocean from the lanai. We were in search of the best Mai Tai on Oahu and we think the Mai Tais at the Shore Fyre restaurant next door were the best! Hope to return again in the future.

Clean, accessible to beaches, and responsive host

1 block from a great area of Waikiki beach, lots of restaurants and ABC stores nearby, and a few minutes walk to zoo. Lanai was nice to come home to and got the am morning sun and sounds of birds. Can hear traffic but muted in morning. Evening noise usually music from a restaurant nearby. This is a great place if you want to be close to beach! Public parking was difficult if you rent a car as a heads up. Host was easy to get a hold of and answered our questions as they came up. We had a family of 4 including a 10 +4 year old. A bit tight but doable which we knew going into booking.

Recommended! Excellent value for view and location!

I did a ton of research before selecting this for a 1 month stay. I wanted best location in Waikiki, a lanai with ocean view, a functional and separate kitchen (tough to configure in a studio) and a couch (for 2 to relax or 1 to stretch out). We got everything we were looking for in Mikes condo; perfect design, comfy bed and couch, and the best view from Lanai! This is one of the few condos in the Seashore with ocean and Mountain View - high up on the quiet side of the building. It gets perfect sun and shade routines (shade early for coffee and evening and sun midday). While we were there, the restaurant next door cleaned up and moved dumpster area that was next to the condo entry and that area is much better now. We loved the energetic surf culture on this same corner. We sent Mike a few improvement comments and he responded with updates on what would be done, took care of them as we left and updated me on progress. It involved needed upgrades to garage and washer area which are in the queue to address (note that there is a laundromat right behind the building with lots of washer/ dryers and an excellent priced drop off service). I also recommended to Mike to review and purge some stuff in the condo (such as damaged beach chairs, scratched up Teflon pots etc.). Mike responded back after we were gone- letting us know he had taken care of these items. The condo has everything needed as far as towels, serving dishes, utensils and even a handy “junk drawer” - just like home! I highly recommend this condo!

About the host

Hosted by Mike Rhodes

Host profile image
Aloha, After decades of worldwide travel, I decided that it was time to slow down (a bit :-). Having lived abroad, and liking many places in which to live, I chose Hawaii because I'm American and wanted that things be simple and familiar--while still being different enough to hold my interest. I hope that you, too, find this about Hawaii.

Why they chose this property

There are only two condominium building closer to Waikiki Beach (the buildings lining the beach are all hotels and condotels). The location is very convenient to everything.
