Scandia 203 - Sleeps 6, Full Kitchen, Free Parking, and 1 Block to the Beach
Welcome to Mauka Makai, your gateway to the serene beauty of Oahu, nestled in Waikīkī Beach, between the majestic Ko'olau Mountain Range and the pristine Pacific Ocean. Fully renovated in the fall of 2021 and further upgraded in January of 2024, this exquisite two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo offers a harmonious blend of modern luxury and authentic Hawaiian charm. Plus, with a dedicated parking spot, exploring paradise has never been easier.
Situated amidst the finest hotels in Waikīkī ensures peace of mind, as you'll be surrounded by a well-maintained and secure environment. In order to exude the warmth of island living, Mauka Makai beckons you with its unparalleled comforts and thoughtful amenities. Step into your own private oasis just five minutes from Prince Kūhiō Beach Park in Waikīkī.
Our meticulously designed condo boasts a kitchen suitable for a culinary enthusiast, inviting you to unleash your culinary 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 space within Mauka Makai is designed to cater to your every need. Unlike most condos in Waikiki, Scandia Towers was originally built for long-term residence, making it feel far more spacious for the same square footage. Sink into the embrace of memory foam mattresses after a day of adventure, awakening refreshed and rejuvenated.
The large bedroom offers a versatile layout, accommodating various sleeping arrangements (1 king or up-to 3 twins), while the small bedroom provides a cozy retreat with a queen-size memory foam mattress. The couch unfolds into a full-sized sleeper sofa and the unit is equipped with a twin size inflatable mattress and a play pen for the youngest people in your life.
Our commitment to your comfort extends beyond the walls of our condo. Explore Waikīkī and Oahu Beaches with ease, as we provide beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, and snorkeling gear for your convenience. After a day of adventure, immerse yourself in Hawaiian culture with our curated library of Hawaiian books, popular games, and local artwork adorning every room.
Mauka Makai caters to families, friends, and business travelers alike. Both bedrooms offer ergonomic desk chairs and sit/stand adjustable desks, intended for those traveling for work with the family or with colleagues. USB plugs throughout, smart TVs set-up for casting, high-speed internet, and ample space for 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.
GETTING AROUND In addition to traditional taxis, both Uber and Lyft operate seamlessly within the city, and our efficient bus system offers extensive coverage across the entire island. Download TheBus Oahu app for real-time updates and easy navigation, ensuring a stress-free journey, including to and from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.
Embrace the island spirit and pedal your way around town with ease. With four BIKI stations nearby, renting bicycles by the minute is a fun way to explore Honolulu. Alternatively, opt for a thrilling scooter adventure with the rental company conveniently located just around the corner.
Venturing beyond the city limits? Renting a car unlocks the freedom to roam at your own pace and you can say goodbye to Waikīkī's hefty parking fees, as our dedicated parking space awaits your return each day.

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,
Josh and Family
