Makai Suite - 2 bdrm, 1 bath on Hawaii's Gold Coast

Listen to the ocean and feel the sea breezes sweep over you as you relax beneath the shadows of swaying coconut trees. Let the Makai Suite be your comfortable place to return to after the day’s adventures.

The Makai Suite is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath suite located on the 2nd floor of the Diamond Head Beach Hotel & Residences, an oceanfront building on Oahu’s Gold Coast. The 750 square feet interior of The Makai Suite is tastefully simple and overly comfortable. The living room has an over-sized sofa with a pull out bed , a large flat-screen TV, DVD player, Bose surround sound and track lighting that dims. However **PLEASE NOTE** TO GET TO THE SECOND BEDROOM, YOU MUST WALK THROUGH THE FIRST BEDROOM TO GAIN ACCESS TO IT . THERE IS A PRIVACY CURTAIN. Both bedrooms have their own access to bathroom. There is a full kitchen with granite counter tops that include a dishwasher and everything you need to prepare a meal. The Makai Suite also comes with free Wi-Fi and cable television throughout the duration of your stay.

The Makai Suite does NOT have an ocean view, however the building features a beautiful lawn/garden area at the back of the building with lawn chairs and tables to watch the sunset or relax facing the ocean.

The Diamond Head Beach Hotel and Residences offers a peaceful, island atmosphere while being close enough to all the action. Located just minutes from Waikiki Beach along Kalakaua Avenue where you’ll find some of Honolulu’s best dining and entertainment. Ideal for those who want a quiet, low profile atmosphere, yet still want to be close to the city life. The Makai Suite will feel less like a hotel and more like your own ocean side condo.

There is street parking available on a first come, first serve basis. **Note- this is metered parking between the hours of 10am-6pm, free outside of those hours. If you would like parking in the building garage, we could reserve a space for you, the rate is $30 per night.

You can access your codes and check in instructions here on VRBO the day of your check in.

Place to rest only
The location was good and the owners were easy enough to work with. They responded quickly when we needed the parking space number (had requested parking at booking but did not get that information in the check-in process provided). The unit overall needs some serious work. The major kitchen appliances are new, but the furniture is old, the place needs a serious cleaning, wallpaper is coming off the wall, the light over the dining table doesn’t work, and worst of all was the plumbing backups in the bathroom. The owners were quick to respond and offered a plumber but after talking with others on the floor we discovered this was a whole floor and potential building issue.

The toilet ran constantly and shut off then ran again. No internet or tv. We messaged someone about the tv and never got a response. Parking is terrible unless you pay for a spot, then it's in a basement area with barely room to turn around.

Don’t believe the pictures!
Nice location. No frills. Tired and slightly dirty. The pictures do not represent the real property. It really needs a remodel or deep clean. The property feels like it has been forgotten by the owners. Functional, but mattresses are worn, toilet runs, no fan in the bathroom. Did call the owners about parking and they did call us right back.

Great location/Great condo
Loved the condo with views of Diamond from the front of the building and on the beach in back. Nice size condo for family of 4. Everyone enjoyed the space ( parents, 17,19 year old boys). Closed to everything, but quiet area. Quiet at the condo too. Beautiful sunset from the lawn area in the back. Owner was very responsive and easy to contact. Condo was very clean.

Disappointing
This place has potential but is sorely neglected. Lights dont work, dusty lampshades. The freezer door below the fridge does not close. There was a rug folded up in front of it ro catch the leaking water. The frezzer is all iced over. The coffee pot was filthy and is all a burnt through on the bottom. We contacted the host immediately but never heard back. We also contacted VRBO. No word from anyone!

Dark unit
The unit could use some updating. I found it very dark as you don’t want to open the curtains as one side of the unit is on the walkway and the other overlooks a very old and unkept building where residents have very messy outdoor areas.

Great sunset views
The back patio is the perfect place to watch the sunset. Very quiet and secluded. Most of our activities were about an hour away but, everywhere you look is breathtaking. The property was an excellent place to come back to and relax. The portable beach chairs and umbrellas you provided were a very pleasant surprise. We’ll definitely be back again if you’ll have us and, recommend your property to anyone coming to this beautiful island.

Family friendly, beautiful location
We had a short family trip to Hawaii. The makai suite was just what we needed. The living room was amazing, comfortable after a long day. The beds were comfy and the air conditioning in the room was a plus. We live in Alaska and it was much needed. My favorite part was at the back of the building overlooking the ocean. I recommend this place for family's looking for a place to stay in Hawaii. Thank you from my family. Mahalo!!

Wonderful holiday with family!
This is a wonderful property. Everything that you could possibly think to need is here. All you need to do is show up and enjoy! Wifi was reliable. Lots of TV and movie channels for family movie nights. The location is perfect. We especially loved watching the sunsets every evening from the patio area which is directly over the ocean with comfortable chairs to sit back and enjoy. We found the other residents and guests to all be friendly and nice - it is a very great area of Oahu and within short drive of Pearl Harbor, lots of beaches, shopping, etc. I will definitely look forward to coming back here to vacation time and time again. Thanks Mia!

2947 Kalakaua was decent
The place was decent, good enough. my complaints feel a little picky but i wish i'd known ahead to here it is: 2 bedrooms is misleading - we needed 2 bedroom, but this was a room off a bedroom -maybe a walk in closet from the one bedroom turned into a bedroom. windows did not have screens, so we continuously used a noisy air conditioner that blasted cold air onto the sofa seating when on, room was stuffy if left off.; parking free on the other side of the park across the street; the apartment has no view or balcony - there is a nice terrace at the end of the building, usually not crowded. my final fee was 50% than the initial search listing - expect added fees.

Awesome ocean view
If you are looking to stay away from the hustle and bustle this is the place. Although you can't see the ocean from the room you can sit on the back lawn and enjoy the view as the weather is perfect everyday. You can still go into the water there is very short to the left or right to takes stairs onto the water. My sister and I were ready to lay the chairs down and sleep outside. There are chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards available for you to use, plenty of beach towels. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking. The people that live here are very nice. You can always contact the owner and get a quick reply. If we get the chance to come back we would stay here.

Close to downtown Waikiki but out of the major traffic
We had a great stay and in a perfect location. The property was as described in the listing. The property patio was great to sit and enjoy the beautiful views. My only suggestion would be to ensure renters are aware of the parking being $30 a day or metered parking. Weekdays were no problem finding a place, weekends were hard.

Great trip to Honolulu!
We had a great trip to Honolulu that was stress-free because of our awesome accommodations. We loved the property. We also liked being away from the main Waikiki beach area but only a short 15 minute walk away. The owners were very responsive and immediately answered the one phone call I needed to make to them during the trip. The only suggestion for the owners is to provide hot pads for cooking and more than one dish towel. Otherwise, we loved it and would choose the property again.

Nice Condo
When we arrived to the property, it wasn't cleaned. Mia worked with us to remedy the situation, but it would have been nice to arrive to a clean place to rest after our long plane ride. The condo is very dark, would suggest some colorful drapes or more Hawaiian theme decorations, to make the experience better. Over all it was a nice place with all necessary items to enjoy the beach.

Great Location and Great Price
Great location just off waikiki. Out of the crowds, and closer to some other great places. As everybody mentions parking is a hassle, but we never had to walk more than 200 yards to the unit. There is a drop off spot right in front of the hotel. The unit was clean they had toys and boogie boards and snorkeling equipment. Had some wonderful morning coffee and evening drinks down on the waterfront.

It was a good trip
Shane and Mia provided a great trip. First of all thank you very much. If you step out of the room in a very nice location, you can hear the sound of the waves and see the blue sea. We were able to enjoy this wonderful location every day and we had a very happy day. I had trouble with VRBO for the first time. First of all, the key box could not be found immediately, so it was difficult to put it in. There are a lot of key boxes. However, there is no need to be impatient. Find the key box on the wall instead of the hanging key box to solve the problem. Another one is the location of the parking lot. It is recommended that you check in advance where you can park your car. They were so busy that they hadn't noticed my question and a few days had passed and I had to use another parking lot. Only the location of this parking lot was a problem, but I was happy to have a better room than that. I'm really thankful to you.

Amazing diamond head location
Wow what a great way to spend a week with family! We absolutely loved the Sans souci beach. So relaxing with the comfort of the kids going back and forth at their leisure. We made some good connections at the condo itself. In fact our youngest had the opportunity to meet one of her favorite Disney stars who happened to be staying there as well, not only was she kind and welcoming, her grandfather was the best of conversationalist and wisdom. Very warm and kind people from locals to visitors along this stretch. It was so great to reconnect with an old friend (I ran into out of the blue in front of the building) who then proceeded to invite me in for lunch at the outrigger club next door, great and welcome surprise. After 5 days here we checked into the outrigger at the beach for 3 nights, wonderful experience but we all missed the feeling we had here, in our experience it was more like we where in our own home. It was also great for my wife and I to have our own room as well, major plus even though Hawaii is not a place to sleep in because it calls you to adventure and to embrace each and everyday. for us, hands down it beats a hotel room any day!! We are already rebooking for our next trip. Thank you so much for creating a space and opportunity for my family and I to let go, reconnect and be with those we love most. Maholo

This place provide you with all your beach equipment like snorkels boogie board , beach chairs, umbrellas and many more. Someday I would love to own a place like this to retire. Mahalo

Hidden GEM!!
We have rented homes and condos for the last 10 summers in Hawaii. This far surpasses anything we have stayed at before as far as the location, price and amenities in this condo. Shane the owner was such a pleasure to work with and was easy to get a hold of. We loved that there was everything we needed from beach chairs, umbrella, plenty of beach towels, and even boogie boards! The kitchen was fully stocked with nice appliances that weren’t run down like many Hawaii rentals. The sheets and bedding were super comfortable and clean. We will most definitely be back next summer and I’m guessing future years. Highlights we loved- Walkable to everywhere! (Lovely walk to get coffee and smoothies at Sunrise Shack each morning!) Awesome private veranda area on the water with water access and shower to rinse off. We laid out / read books here a few of the days we stayed. Quiet and private. TV has Netflix and bose sound system. Park across the street for our morning run and yoga. Great value. See you next June!
