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

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.

The view itself will be enough to say yes to this property! it was a beautiful, secure spot, the manager was tentative to all our needs including front reception. Real friendly staff, best location we went to the beach every day because of the location!

Wonderful find! It reminds me of a small boutique hotel in NYC. From the lanai you can see Diamond Head, the Honolulu Zoo, a park, Waikiki Beach, and lots of sailboats on the ocean. A half block from the beach, so of course there is street noise but you won’t hear it if you shut the door and window. Anything you want is within walking distance. Great communication from the owner and the Waikiki Grand Hotel. Friendly and helpful. The room is small but you’re on Oahu and you don’t really spend much time in the room!

Great location if you like it quieter. Fabulous view. Close to the beach. 45 minute walk to Diamond head trail head. Lots of mirrors makes it feel larger.

Good value & close the beach.

This place is well worth the money. The view is awsome and the location is great.

This place was great! The room is small but for the most part we were out and about anyway. It was really nice to have all of the beach essentials in the closet. The views from the lanai are gorgeous. Parking was a bit tricky as it’s in a very popular area but the front desk was really helpful in figuring out options. Highly recommend!

Definitely a smaller condo, but we weren’t there much . Lots to do not enough time to stay in room. The place was clean and described the exact as what’s there. The balcony view is overlooking the zoo and there’s a good lookout on the pier and beach. A block away from the water lots of places around to shop or eat at: would recommend this place to anyone.

We stayed on this property for our honeymoon. My husband and I loved the room it was smaller but the size was just fine for the two of us. You have a great view of the beach and the mirrors in the room make it so you’re essentially looking at the beach the whole time. Loved that. Location was awesome, one minute walk to the beach where it’s less crowded and close walk to all the main Waikiki stuff. Room was very clean and comfortable. Loved hanging out on the lanai every morning and night. Will definitely book this property again on our next visit.

Steve was such a responsive host and truly wanted to check in to make sure we were okay and having a great time. Highly recommend.

This property met our expectations. In choosing a property, our top priority was a lanai (balcony) with a great view of the ocean. So many of the properties and hotels in the area have obstructed views. We were aware that the room would be on the small size. And while it was a little cramped, it was serviceable. The interior is a bit dated, bit everything was clean and functional. The also has AC. The view from the lanai was spectacular and unobstructed. We had a great view of both the ocean and Diamond Head. We spent a lot of time on the lanai during our one week stay. This is a hotel and there were staff available at all times. The location is a half block from the beach and was walkable to everything on Waikiki. We were able to reserve onsite parking for 35 per day. You do need to reserve online. The owner Steve was extremely attentive. He was great during the booking process and checked in a few times during our stay. All in all, we were very happy with the accommodations and will miss the daily stays on the lanai

Very convenient location in Waikiki with the zoo, beach and shops just minutes away. Enjoyed the view of Diamond Head and the ocean when sitting on the lanai. The host checked on us several times to make sure things were going well. The unit is quite small but has the basic amenities.

ProsProperty owner is very responsive.Beautiful view from the balcony.Super short walk to the beachConsReserved parking are small stalls in a garage below the hotel.Not super serious since we weren't in the room enough but TV is super outdated and not allowed to watch streaming services if you have the ad plans cause the tv doesn't allow ads. Only streaming services available on the tv are Netflix and Amazon.Pictures make the room seem bigger and cleanerTemperature of the shower is inconsistent but it is mentioned on the wall of the bathroomOne of the beach chairs were broken and the umbrella was kind of broken. Both were still usable.The room seems like it hasn't had a thorough cleaning in a couple years.

This unit is perfect if you don't plan to be in the room for long or cooking any meals. There is a full size fridge and a small coffee pot; clean linens and amenities for the beach(chairs, umbrella, towels, boogie boards, small cooler). It is just across the street from the beach and plenty of shopping and restaurants. Not sure if I would call it a studio apartment, as it is extremely small; the bar stools and oversized chair make it seem even smaller and they feel a bit too big for the space.While we did have some issues getting into the unit and difficulty with TV & wifi, Steve did attempt to resolve issues and communicated with us often. Overall, a nice, small unit if you need a place to sleep and want to be close to the beach.

Great location BUT exceptionally small room (not large enough be referred to as “studio apartment). Photos very misleading.

We absolutely loved this place! It is small but has everything needed for 2 people to stay comfortably for well over a week. The views from the balcony are amazing! It is right on the edge of the busy beach area so it is perfect for those that want to have access to the fancy shops and restaurants but if that’s not your thing, it’s easy to avoid. Building is literally a 3 minute walk to the beach, and the room has everything needed for hanging at the beach! Would 100% stay here again!

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!

Great Property! Amazing location! Incredible view from private Lanai. Woke every morning to the distant sound of the animals at Honolulu Zoo looking over the park and Diamond Head. Everything you could possibly need for a beach holiday. Would definitely recommend and book next time I am in Waikiki

Extraordinary view of Diamond Head & ocean. Very compact and functional unit. Loved the lanai. Very comfortable bed. Lots of hot water,excellent communication with owner. Unit was well- equipped and everything worked just fine.

The best is the location and the view

Living on the edge of glory. Waikiki can become too crowded and sometimes too tourists. This location is primo for the best of both worlds. The zoo park and diamondhead bring the calm needed.

The property was exactly as described. Steve is a wonderful host!

The condo was located so close to the beach, many great restaurants, and shopping establishments. This made our stay so convenient. The condo was clean and comfortable. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki beach from the condo and our balcony was absolutely phenomenal! The condo owner, Steve is kind, professional, and was very timely with his responses. We will definitely be returning!

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 .

Great location. Very friendly front desk. Clean. Super views. Perfect. Will try to stay here again.

This conveniently located gem is the perfect spot to stay and enjoy Waikiki Beach. The host was incredibly thorough in their communication and checked in throughout the stay to ensure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for an alternative to the big hotels in a great location, look no further!

This was a fabulous place to stay with inspiring views from the Lani, clean and quiet accommodation, and very convenient location.

As advertised, great location, we'll be back.

This is the place to stay! The views are absolutely amazing! Walking distance to the beach was great! You can walk across the street to the zoo. Communication with the property manager was so easy. We would book this place again and again.
