Scandia 203 - Sleeps 6, Full Kitchen, Free Parking, and 1 Block to the Beach
Welcome to Mauka Makai, your gateway to the bustling and serene beauty of O‘ahu, nestled in Waikīkī, between the majestic Ko‘olau mountain range and the pristine Pacific Ocean. Recently renovated with upgraded amenities, appliances, and furniture, this exquisite two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo offers a harmonious blend of modern convenience and authentic Hawaiian charm. Plus, with a included parking space, exploring paradise couldn’t be easier.
THE SPACE Amidst some of the finest hotels in Waikīkī, you'll be situated in a well-maintained and secure environment. Infused with aloha, Mauka Makai beckons you with its unparalleled comforts and thoughtful amenities. Walk to the nearby Walls Beach, a bodyboarding hotspot, or swim in the walled-in waters of Prince Kūhiō Beach, both a block away.
Looking for somewhere to stay for a week or two? Our elegantly outfitted condo boasts a kitchen suitable for a culinary enthusiast, inviting you to unleash your creativity, when not dining at the thousands of restaurant choices within a short walk or drive. With 860 square feet of living space, complimentary in-unit laundry facilities, and whisper-quiet air conditioning in every room, your stay promises both indulgence and convenience. Relax and unwind on the spacious lanai, savoring your morning coffee amidst the gentle ocean breeze. The condo has three dining areas: the counter (3), the table (4-6) and the lanai (4).
The space within Mauka Makai is designed to cater to your every need. Scandia Towers was originally built for long-term residence, making it feel far more spacious for the same square footage as other units in Waikīkī. Sink into the embrace of memory foam mattresses on every bed, after a day of adventure, awakening refreshed and rejuvenated. The large bedroom offers a versatile layout, accommodating various sleeping arrangements (one king or up to three twin beds), while the small bedroom offers a queen-size bed. Even the sleeper-sofa in the living room sports a full-sized memory foam mattress. The unit is also equipped with a premium twin-size inflatable mattress and a play pen for the youngest people in your life.
Both bedrooms offer ergonomic chairs and sit/stand adjustable desks, intended for those traveling for work with the family, or with colleagues. The kitchen is fully equipped with brand new appliances including full-sized fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and a washer/dryer. A coffee maker, blender, stand mixer, air fryer, electric kettle, rice maker, and toaster are available for your convenience along with pots, pans, dish sets, cooking and dining utensils.
Our commitment to your comfort extends beyond the walls of our condo. Explore Waikīkī and O‘ahu Beaches with ease, as we provide beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, body boards, and snorkeling gear for your convenience. After a day of adventure, immerse yourself in Hawaiian culture with our curated library of Hawaiian books or play popular games, and enjoy the local artwork adorning every room.
Mauka Makai caters to families, friends, and business travelers alike. With desks in both rooms, USB plugs throughout, smart TVs set-up for casting, high-speed internet, and ample space for private, small-team collaboration, we ensure the right blend of work and leisure. Discover the essence of island living at Mauka Makai – where luxury meets aloha spirit. Even if you're staying for just a few days, you won't want to leave.

Within one city block, you’ll find: 3 ABC stores (including a premium store right next door), 2 Starbucks, a Domino’s with sit-down or pickup, Island Vintage Shave Ice and Acai, Arancino di Mare (Italian), Mac 24/7 (breakfast and beyond), two roof-top bars (Deck and Tiki’s), a sports bar (Lulu’s), Teddy’s Bigger Burgers, Denny’s Restaurant, 3 Biki bike stations, moped/scooter rentals around the corner, the Zoo, beach volleyball, the Kapahulu pier, and Kapi‘olani Park.

It was a very clean spacious property. It is pretty well placed in Waikiki. Everything we wanted to do was easily within walking or Lyft distance. Love that the ABC store is literally next door, steps away!Couple of things to be aware of though.1. Because it is in a busy area, there may be some loud folks outside around nighttime. There was only really one night of that, but if you are a light sleeper, might want to bring earplugs.2. There's only one FOB to get into the towers and to ise the elevator. If travellings with a big family, plan accordingly so no one gets locked out late at night.Other than that, good pick to stay!

Good Location, but Very Disruptive
Location was great to visit Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head and Pearl Harbor. All kitchen and beach amenities were provided. Parking is provided, but don't stay here if you have a larger SUV. We had a Tahoe and could barely get out the driver's door if someone was parked next to us - typical large city parking. We were awakened at 4:00 am both mornings by loud noises from the residents on the shared wall side of the condo. This went on until after 6:30am. We contacted the host the first morning. They apologized for things out of their control and said the building manager was contacted. We didn't stay the third night.

Wonderful Waikiki
The condo was above and beyond my expectations. We enjoyed the balcony and the comfortable furniture. We were just a block and a half from the beach with shopping and restaurants all around. It was a secure and quiet property and the included parking space was a big benefit. Would definitely stay here again

Relaxing getaway
This was a terrific property! Everything was clean, the climate control kept us happy, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was nice. We really enjoyed sitting on the lanai to drink our morning coffee. The local abc convenience store was great to have, and I can't tell you how lucky we were to have a parking space in that neighborhood! We were sad to leave.

Wonderful time in Waikiki
The location of this property was great! It was less than a 5 minute walk from the beach and close to lots of food and shopping choices. Because of the location and the night life, it tends to be noisy until late at night but wasn't a major issue. The only other downside was the parking space was a tight squeeze. Once I figured out that it was easier to enter the garage, turn left towards the rinsing area then back into the space, it made parking much easier. My family appreciated all the beach and snorkeling gear that was provided with the property. We ended up requesting a 2nd key fob that allowed us entry into the building and elevator so we could split our group up easier. Mark was happy to assist us! Thanks for making our stay easy and fun!!

Great space and location!
Overall this unit is just fantastic! It has a washer and dryer which was essential during the trip :) The location is ideal and management did a great job responding quickly to a few concerns we had. Also - parking included - albeit the space is a little tight.
Only downsides to this unit (for transparency) is that it’s located on a lower floor and occasionally got a little noisy and the hot water seemed to run out quickly. We were a group of 4 adults so that made things a little tricky when getting ready.
Thanks again for a lovely stay!
Cheers,
