About this property

Impeccable Penthouse - Ocean & Diamondhead Views

PANORAMIC OCEAN, DIAMOND HEAD & KAPOLANI PARK VIEWS. It's a première residential lifestyle ON THE GOLD COAST! A brief 15 minute breathtakingly beautiful walk to Waikiki’s famous beaches, shopping, dining and nightlife.

This is not a tired old Waikiki hotel room with a sliver of an ocean view and smelly carpets. The views are incredible! As are the trade winds.

Located AT THE TOP of the Diamond Head Beach Hotel, this penthouse STUDIO has panoramic views of Diamond Head to the east and Waikiki to the west, including ocean, mountain and park views. Some guests have likened it to a crows nest due to the outstanding views.

Stylish and tastefully renovated -- with Travertine floors, Cherry Wood cabinets, African Ivory granite counter tops, white Island Shutters, white leather chairs, indigenous Koa wood furnishings, Kohler bath products, 52" HD TV, Digital Cable, HBO, FREE Password Protected Secure High Speed Wi-Fi, and a Memory Foam King bed with Egyptian cotton sheets help to make your stay comfortable, tranquil and rejuvenating. All you need to do is open the windows and take it in!

There is no real need for a car -- you won't want to leave this highly desirable Gold Coast neighborhood with everything you need within walking distance. The Bus stops out front and we have UBER & Lyft and Biki as available as well (although we are not the most bike friendly city). There is a laundry room in the basement / garage, and there are several car parking stalls for rent--if you must.

The BEST reasons for selecting my Impeccable Penthouse -- AWESOME OCEAN VIEWS, QUALITY OF LIFE, and LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! All within 15 minutes walking distance of Waikiki, but far enough away from the excitement and buzz (cars & music) that you can sleep with the windows open and let the pacific ocean ebb and flow lull you to sleep.

Please read my guest's comments and see for yourself.

My Penthouse is a dream vacation location with an opportunity to create some of life’s most unforgettable moments. So what are you waiting for? Check my calendar for availability and Book It Now! I’m waiting to hear from you!

With Aloha

PS Our lovely lawn is rarely used so you might consider spending some time relaxing on a lounge chair in the shade of the palm trees and read a book.

Host was very responsive and provided a list of things to do while on the island, as well as beach equipment. We love the location. Walking distance to Waikiki and far enough away from the crowds to feel private. Great view of Diamond Head and the ocean from the front balcony.

This is a little gem. It is little so be aware, but has everything you need except a lot of space! Bathroom/Kitchen shares a sink. Location is at the quiet end of Waikiki. Views are great. And wall mirror reflects ocean graciously. Host is great. Very easy. Well stocked and plenty of beach stuff. Large comfortable bed. Great trade winds. No balcony per se but nice common area to sit outside at sunset. Would definitely stay again!

Everything was just fine for a short stay in this small but perfectly equipped penthouse. Very quiet, incredible view, high quality of furniture, super Keurig coffeemaker and very well supplied cupboards and pharmacy. Handy laundry machines in the basement. The owner was very kind, perfect communication. Location is just far enough from Waikiki downtown to enjoy a peaceful environment. Overall a great experience!

Incredible views of the ocean, park, Diamond Head, and the city. I spent many a morning and evening staring out of the window. LOVED opening the windows and feeling the wind. It was beautiful. Property has a direct path to the ocean but is also very close to Sandy beaches. Lots of good restaurants within walking distance, but uber/lyft was also very affordable. Jan was incredibly kind and very communicative. We loved staying here. Thank you!

There was one there to check you in or even tell you how to access the room. Fortunately, someone was leaving and he opened the gate. I had a combination to get in the room, and I found a key fob in the room that I could access the property with. I had to park a long-distance away from the property. It said there was parking for 30 a night. The room was nice, and the views were awesome. I will not stay at VRBO in the future as there always seem to be difficulties. The property is also a mile from the nearest stores and restaurants

This little Penthouse at the foot of Diamond is a little gem! I used to live on Oahu and I can tell you that the location is perfect! Quiet with incredible views and just a five minute walk into all the action Waikiki has to offer. With a view on both side of the penthouse you get practically 360 degree beautiful views of all of Waikiki and Honolulu. I could lay in bed and have my coffee while watching the sunrise over Diamond Head to my right and look over to my left and see Waikiki and the Wainai coast! The suite was very clean and had all the necessities one could need for a vacation stay in Hawaii. The one thing that stood out the moist was Jan, the owner. She truly was a Super Host!

Disappointed

Older building, studio was small but well appointed. Views were good, but no private outside space. No access to beach without walking out on the street. Found 2 restaurants within 1/2 mile. One in a fairly pricey hotel. The other was basically a fast food restaurant. If you think you will walk to all waikiki has to offer, think again. My wife and I walk a mile and a half per day, up and down hills. In the heat and humidity, we rarely walked more than 1/2 mile. You need a car. As far as the owner, great communication, but when we decided to leave after the first night, due to the isolation of the property, we inquired about a partial refund. We had rented for 10 nights. All we were hoping was that a token refund would be issued for the very limited use of the property, so little to no wear and tear, and virtually no use of the utilities. The owner would not issue any refund. I realize I had no legal standing to expect a refund, but a few hundred dollars refunded would have been a nice gesture. So, we are unhappy that we concentrated on the owner's beautiful pictures of the view from the studio, and did not research more thoroughly. No pool, limited outside space to relax and "hang" out, few restaurants/bars within walking distance, access to the beach and ocean are along a fairly busy street, and a studio apartment that is about the size of a hotel room, i.e. the "kitchen" contains a microwave, and a coffee maker. We were expecting more.

PARADISE AWAY FROM THE BUSTLING CROWDS

A real gem with all the comforts of home. It has spectacular views, hot water showers, and a comfortable bed with soft linens and fluffy pillows. Outside is a beautiful fountain with Diamond Head looking right down on you. We ate at some of the nicest restaurants within blocks. We walked down to the downtown Waikiki area for dining, sun, and beaches. Take a Lyft, quick, polite, and friendly. Jan is always there, give her a text. She is kind and thoughtful just what makes a visit wonderful!

Great locations and communication

We were very pleased with our stay. There was a flood upstair from us but it was dealt with and Jan was great at communicating. We absolutely loved the the location as it was a great way to get away from the crowded strip of Waikiki proper. It was a perfect 1 mile walk which we enjoyed doing in the morning for coffee and breakfast. The small neighborhood near us was adorable and unlike anything we saw while driving around. We had a car for 4 days (which I highly recommend if you want to explore the whole island) and did not have a problem finding parking out front. Jan had everything we needed in storage to snorkel and chairs plus umbrella for the beach.

Maile Penthouse- our perfect home away from home!

This was our THIRD stay at Jan’s penthouse, and we love it there. For us, it’s all about the awesome views and quiet location. Our favorites are waking up to the sunrises that can be seen easily from the room, and ending the day in the lovely lawn enjoying the sunsets. Jan is a wonderful host providing so many extra perks like giving us plenty of coffee and bottled water for our two week stay. Having Tide available for doing laundry was truly appreciated as well. Jan will take good care of you so don’t hesitate to stay, you will love it here! !
