About this property

Rare Unobstructed Diamond Head-Ocean Views, Best location, Pool, 1 minute to Beach

We are so excited to add this legally permitted studio to our Waikiki vacation rentals. Located only a minute from Waikiki Beach, this piece of paradise provides unobstructed views. Instead of staring at another condo building, you'll see the greenery of Kapiolani Park, the Honolulu Zoo, Diamond Head, and Waikiki Beach. Yet it is very close to all the wonderful Waikiki Amenities.

We looked at rooms in this building for ten years and finally found this fantastic studio. We installed new granite counters, a full-size refrigerator, a kitchen sink, high-quality split air conditioning, a 40" flat-screen TV, and much more. Stay connected with complimentary high-speed fiber optic cable WIFI and enjoy streaming your favorite shows on Netflix, Amazon Video, and others on the internet-connected TV.

It is an excellent location for those that love the outdoors. The lovely Kapiolani Park and the beach are across the street, where you can walk, run, surf, boogie board, swim, and even hike up Diamond Head! It is also the perfect location if laying on the beach is your form of exercise!

Is surf up? Just look out the window to find out! The prime boogie-boarding spot in Waikiki is only 1 minute away and we provide two adult-size boogie boards, two Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs and a beach umbrella. Adjacent to the boogie-boarding site is a huge beach area protected by a sea wall that forms a gigantic saltwater pool with lifeguards for added safety.

Though the room is on the small side, you have a table and chairs on your private lanai (balcony) with an unobstructed Diamond Head and ocean view; you also have use of the huge observation deck with stunning views on the 10th floor.

Parking is available at the on-site parking garage at Waikiki's most reasonable rate, especially considering that we are virtually across the street from the world's most famous beach. Details on reserving parking are provided after booking.

The room comes with free private WIFI, flat screen tv, cable TV, all linens, beach towels, full size refrigerator, microwave, toaster, induction cooktop with pots and pans, coffee maker, toaster, dishes and utensils, iron and ironing board, two full-size boogie boards, 2 Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs, and a small beach cooler.

For your convenience and security, we will ask you for a code that is easy for you to remember, and we will use it to set the keypad lock to the room.

The Waikiki Grand Hotel offers fantastic amenities, including a beautiful lobby (with a grand piano), front desk concierge services, a swimming pool, coin operated laundry facilities, a hamburger restaurant, another restaurant/bar, onsite parking garage, two elevator and the 10th floor boasts a remarkable observation deck with panoramic views of Diamond Head, Kapiolani Park, the Honolulu Zoo, and Waikiki Beach.

Central, access all areas, great views, good people
We had the pleasure of staying in the studio on our visit to Waikiki. It's just the right space you need when looking for a comfortable, secure, clean and quiet base and still be in the midst of everything in Waikiki. There's a bus stop just a few steps down the road from which you can connect to multiple different destinations on the city's very efficient bus service. If you want to get into the surf, it's just across the road. We had great views of Waikiki beach from the private balcony (called something else in the local lingo). There's a table and chairs outside; it's an intimate space for an al-fresco dinner. Do what we did and get to Food Pantry for some supplies and come back for antipasto on the balcony with a chilled drink and your special someone. What could be better? It's a great introduction to Hawaii. I'm an email kind of guy and I'm glad that I could organise everything so easily with Steve using email. He replies promptly and is full of good advice and suggestions. He made everything easy. As it should be. Robert and Anthea - Port Melbourne.

Fantastic studio with spectacular views
My husband and I recently spent 2 weeks in this studio and could not have asked for anything better. We arrived early in the morning and having booked the studio from the night before were able to get in straight away. We easily and quickly registered with reception and were welcomed to the complex. The instructions provided by Steve to enter the studio were great and we were quickly settled in and having a quick nap to catch up on our sleep after the long flight. The studio was as described. Everything you need is provided. The bathroom was well stocked with soaps, shampoos, body wash, and fresh clean towels. Cleaning products were also provided which was handy as during our two week stay we wanted to make sure that we kept everything fresh and clean. The kitchen also included plenty of plates, cups, utensils, storage containers etc that we needed to save a bit of money from eating out everyday. We were able to make our own breakfast and lunches and occasionally heat up some leftovers for dinner. Although the studio is compact there was plenty of room for the two of us. I wandered down to Starbucks, just two buildings away, every morning for my cup of coffee and returned to the room to sit out on the lanai and enjoyed the wonderful views from the balcony watching the early morning surfers and swimmers at the beach. You can even enjoy the Diamond Head and ocean views from the bed through the large windows. The heavy curtains provided allowed for us to sleep well and not be woken up by early morning light. We loved to location of this studio. It is down the end of the main Waikiki strip and was very quite of a night and even during the day which meant we could have a quick afternoon sleep before going out to dinner. The beaches down this end are less crowded and allow for more of a variety of activities, like surfing, body boarding, snorkeling (we saw lots of different specifies and colourful fish just off the beach around the coral), stand up paddle boarding and even competition and social volleyball games nearly everyday that we could watch. We could easily walk up to the main shopping and restaurant area when we wanted too. Sometimes we caught the Waikiki Trolley to the top of the strip and wandered back down to the studio, shopping and having lunch or dinner at one of the many fantastic places to eat on the way. I would not hesitate to recommend this awesome studio apartment to anyone thinking of staying here. You will not be dissappointed!

Waikiki Grand Studio Stay
My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at Waikiki Grand Hotel. Sipping coffee on the balcony with the view of Waikiki beach was truly relaxing. The studio had everything you need to cook a quick meal and make coffee. The bed was comfortable. Beach accessories and surfing equipment is available if needed. Restaurants and convenience stores are steps away including the Honolulu Zoo. Steve went out of his way to make sure our check in and check out went smoothly. He checked in periodically to make sure everything was ok. We will definitely stay there again in the future!

We had a wonderful time! Close to beach and Restaurants. The condo in s across from the Zoo and a large park. We walked to the left everyday where the beach was a lot quieter. Everything you need for the day. Chairs, umbrella and cooler. The balcony is lovely with a view of Diamond Head and the ocean. It is very small condo, but we really left for mist of the day, so not a problem .

This place was perfect for us. Bathroom, refrigerator and comfy bed. It is small, but thats all we needed, especially affordable to be that close to the beach, dinning and shopping. The lanai is the best. When we weren't in the shower or sleeping, we sat on the lanai. Had coffee in the morning and wine at night. The view is gorgeous. Diamond head, the beach, birds in the trees and you can see into the zoo. The front desk staff where helpful and so welcoming. That was a plus since we didn't rent from them, but they were so nice. Also felt they were keeping an eye on the place. Always said hi and welcomed us as we came and went. We were in and out a lot. It was close to everything so we could drop off bags, grab a shower and change for dinner. It was just perfect. I want to go back.

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 focus our attention on a small number of properties.

Steve is a real estate broker and has been licensed in Hawaii since 1999. Iku is a licensed real estate agent and a native Japanese speaker. 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 gives us 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.
