Location is everything!

The Birdcage is a breezy and bright studio giving you clear views of the Koolau Mountains. With historic Waikiki Beach just outside the hotel lobby, the Birdcage is the perfect home base for exploring Honolulu and the rest of Oahu.

Double paned sliding glass windows greatly minimize the urban sounds of Waikiki, but let a lot of light in. An expansive roof deck on top of the hotel provides a bird's eye view of Diamond Head. There are lounge chairs for sunbathing and tables for alfresco dining. No one else in Waikiki has a better view of the sun setting into the Pacific. Kapiolani Park is just across the street and offers the Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium, the Royal Hawaiian Bandstand, tennis courts, soccer fields, archery ranges, weekend art shows and the city's Sunset on the Beach free concerts and movies - all this in its 500 green acres.

One of the main reasons for coming to Hawaii is of course the sun and sand. Surfing, stand up board paddling, outrigger canoeing, swimming and simply lounging on the beach are all just a few steps from the Birdcage.

Hawaii is the crossroads of the Pacific and its culinary offerings reflect that abundantly, so while the Birdcage has a kitchen and microwave, you are a short walk away from countless cafes and restaurants catering to every taste and price range. Similarly, if you can get yourself out of the water and away from the beach there is a lot of shopping to be done in Waikiki, and the many other shopping venues just a short drive away.

The Birdcage is at the end of Waikiki. Kapahulu Avenue provides easy access to the freeway, and makes getting in and out of the area very easy because you avoid all the traffic in the heart of Waikiki. This is perfect for when you decide to explore the rest that Oahu has to offer.

    Great location for the beach. Easy to get in condo with code. This is small but exactly as pictures show. Condo was clean & pleasant. Had everything we needed for two people that didn’t plan to spend much time in it.was nice having the beach towels & chairs provided! Bed was comfortable. Kitchen ok. Oh yes, the microwave only works if kitchen light switch is on! Bathroom is ok. This condo was fine for what we needed. You can pay $25/day to park in their building but be sure to call the property and make arrangements ahead because it’s very limited parking under ground and tight spaces. We had a very good experience there. It’s a very convenient location. Glad we chose this condo.

    The property is right at the end of the shops and across the street from the Zoo. The double bed is comfortable and it was nice having a little kitchenette. We only had 2 bath towels and it took several texts/days to have someone bring us more which was super frustrating! The towels, kitchen ones included all smelled musty. We bought our own toilet paper because the room provided this single ply paper. Also, parking is limited $17/day on a first come first serve basis. We were lucky to get a spot! Overall we had a nice trip to Waikiki!

    This place just wasn’t for us. The location was close to the beach, but that was the only thing that I would give this a 10. In my opinion, this place is best for three maybe four nights or less. We were here for nine nights, and that was a lot for this place. We really needed a kitchen with better amenities. There was no dishwasher or disposal, which makes it hard to cook meals. Leftover food scraped into a garbage brings bugs. The refrigerator was too small. The parking is very expensive and for nine nights you need a car. I can’t imagine just staying in Waikiki that whole time. Public transportation while carrying beach chairs and towels to explore other beaches is just not possible. The check-in was very slow and there was only one person ahead of me. There was soap left over in the shower from the previous guest, which starts off the trip on a sour note. The cleaning service was prompt and corrected the situation, but you can’t un-see old soap with hair on it. I’ve stayed at many VRBO properties and I definitely would not to return. The view from this unit is not great, but if you go to the 10th floor, you can visit the sun deck which has a fantastic view. Too much noise when you open the window so using the AC was a must.

    Loved the kitchenette, though at the back of fridge some of the veggies froze. Maybe the dial needs to show perfect setting. Loved the interior, very pleasant decoration, many drawers and closet to hang clothing. The parking spot #6 was ideal next to entrance to the elevators. Friendly front desk. Could not have asked for more, 1/2 block from the ocean at the more quiet end of Waikiki Beach

    Host provided great communication in the lead up to the visit. Property manager response was great. Appliances in kitchenette all worked good for our early morning breakfasts up on the 10th floor patio. A/C kept the room at an acceptable temperature (for a couple of penguins from the Pacific Northwest that were navigating the heat).Great location right across the street from the Honolulu Zoo was great for both arrival from airport by bus (W-Line got us there and back) as well as bus tours that we had scheduled with pickup right across the street (and of course the beach and parks which are very much walking distance). Plenty of great food options in the immediate area whether you want higher end on the beach dining or want to try some excellent local fare up Kapahulu (Sunshine & Pineapple) or Monsarrat (Pioneer Saloon).

    This is a very clean unit on the 6th floor of a hotel inclusive of a kitchen that is very nice & well stocked but a bit quirky. The AC is an adequate room unit however, the windows do open which enhances sleeping. The windows have shears which cover the open windows and at the level nothing flies in. Parking is a separate issue but can be on the premises for additional cost. The swimming pool badly needs replastering. A major positive outside of excellent communication with the host and the hotel front desk is that the unit while having no ocean nor beach view is a 2 minute walk from the east end of Waikiki and it is child friendly. A negative issue is that the excessive noise from 6 a.m. trash pickups from the hotel and surrounding hotels makes sleeping in very difficult.

    This property is located at the east end of Waikiki beach by the zoo. We like the area but do lots of walking going west down the strip. We like the walk. This apartment is located at the back of the building and doesn’t have a deck. But, big windows which we opened up and enjoyed the tropical breeze.

    I stayed here for three days with my husband before moving on to another spot on the island. The Birdcage was a great way to start out our vacation. The unit was as described. It was clean and comfortable. Kevin was great and he graciously allowed us an early and easy check in. The beach is literally steps away as well as great coffee and places to shop and dine.

    Location is excellent! Very easy and convenient, close to the beach and next to a big park. The rooftop view is fantastic. The host was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly when I couldn’t find the entry instructions. Both the management and host were very helpful. Thank you Kevin and Jeannie!The studio is smaller than I had expected, but the kitchen had all the necessities. It is like a hotel room that has been converted to a studio. We tried sleeping with the windows open but there was a lot of early noise from construction next door. The AC worked well but left a puddle on floor, where a towel was placed to handle it. In general we had a nice stay and enjoyed our time in Waikiki!

    Very nice stay, so pleased! Perfect rental for a single or couple! Way better than a 300/night hotel room, easy access and reasonable cost secure parking. Nice amenities in the unit and I cannot say enough about location! Waikiki beach is a block away, grocery store down the street, restaurants galore within walking distance. Felt very safe and secure. Most Hawaii properties are older and this one is no exception but well maintained and excellent host. Would stay again for sure!

    Spent a nice few days in Waikiki in this well- located property, across from the zoo... and the beach. Our only complaint was the TV was difficult to figure out, and a bit small for its location across the room from the bed. We are approaching 70 with poor eyesight and hearing, a bigger TV, or more comfirtable seating closer to tv would have been great. been nice. Othe the early 60s.
