We loved our Vrbo! The staff at Waikīkī Grand were so kind and helpful. It was the perfect location since we were able to find free parking for our car only a block away but we’re able to walk to most places in the area. Alexei was a great host and very communicative!

Wow!
This vrbo is excellent. The location is perfect. Just a block off the beach. Our room had great views of Diamondhead and the ocean. Lots to eat and do nearby. Try teddys burgers just off the lobby. The owner Alexei is very attentive and responds immediately. Would definitely there again.

Waikiki Wanderings
Great location along the edge of the hotels next to the zoo. Easy beach access. Walking trails, groceries, restaurants nearby. We found free parking near zoo and park within walking distance. Expect city noise. Kitchenette very handy. Great views from the balcony-beach/ocean in one direction and Diamondhead in the other.

Perfect place in Waikiki!
I lived in the Waikiki jungle back in the 1960’s. It’s so very different now, but when I stay at the Waikiki Grand and look over the park and ocean, I can forget about the concrete jungle behind me. Alexei’s unit has everything you need and I was able to cook my own meals for 2 weeks with no trouble. Safeway is just a nice long walk or bus ride away. Queens Surf beach is right there out your window! This unit is lovely with upscale lighting, comfy bed, great cable and WiFi, and amazing view.

Excellent location & Great place!
I've stayed in this part of Waikiki before and wish I had known about this place! It had everything we needed, was very clean, has a nice kitchen and bathroom - fully stocked, and a very comfortable bed. The view of Diamond Head and the beach from the patio is incredible! Front desk staff were friendly and the owner Alexei was great to deal with as well. I read some of the reviews about the noise level from the bar below, but as this rental is on the 6th floor, we didn't hear anything. Would highly recommend staying here and definitely plan to book my future vacations in Oahu there!

Classy, comfortable and great location!
A classy and convenient studio. The property was as pictured in the listing. Small but well decorated and appointed and very clean and well taken care of. The view from the balcony was terrific -- sunset, the people, the pier, the sea - even the Honolulu marathon. Minutes from the beach, shops and restaurant. Owners were helpful and allowed a late check-out on our last day. Good place to end our month in Hawaii. We would return and certainly recommend it.

Amazing studio in best park of Waikiki
The studio is exactly as pictured in the photos and was perfect for 2 people for a week! Loved the balcony overlooking the ocean and Diamond head. Sunrise every morning over the mountain and beautiful colours lighting the sky over the ocean at sunset. I loved hearing the birds from the zoo singing when we ate out on the deck. The kitchen is equipped with everything we needed to make a few meals during our stay. Alexei had everything impeccably clean and ready for when we got there. We'll definitely be back! Thanks again Alexei :) Heather and Nick

Great location and cute place with incredible views!
We loved this place for a short stay in Waikiki! We picked this place for the proximity to the beach, but mostly because it was convenient for us because we were there for a friend's wedding and the wedding events were close by, but once we were there we thought it was a great location in general. We thought the view would be good, the view is gorgeous (especially when you're sitting on the balcony because you can see views in both directions. The place itself is pretty small, but really all you need for a short stay for 2 (we were there 4 nights). The bed is firm but comfortable, also a bit small, but depends on what you're used to (we have a King at home). The condo building itself is nothing special, but the location can't be beat if you want to be in Waikiki. Lots of stuff near by for food, beach is literally steps away across the street. We were so happy we booked this instead of the hotel room we were going to book at the Park Shore literally next door... for less money then their no view, tiny room... this condo has an incredible view and I'm sure more space, as well as a kitchen that has all you really need. The pool at this condo's building is probably the only con, but we didn't need it or even think about using a pool at all since we'd rather be at the beach. Thanks again, Alexei and Matthew!

Condo by the beach
My partner and I have stayed in this property about 6 times, so goes without saying that this is our condo of choice. Serene views up to Diamond Head, a block from the beach, high enough to not hear the road noise. Our perfect stay.

Absolutely fabulous - perfect for a couple to enjoy the quiet(er) side of Waikiki!
Pros: - The view is stunning - from Diamond Head to the beach, with very few hotels in the distance. We were there in November and we could watch both the sunrise over Diamond Head and the sunset over the beach from the Lanai. - The room had a perfect little kitchen for those that want to cook breakfast or a light meal and then get to the beach. They had everything you would need for cooking right there! - The beach! This location is super close to the beach and snorkeling. My husband and I snorkeled almost every day! We even saw an octopus on the reef right by our VRBO! - The bed is SUPER comfortable, and I loved the pillows. - The A/C was strong and consistent. - The lanai is such a treat, whether it's to dry your towels or enjoy a cocktail, or just enjoy the evening. We sat on it every morning and night. It is fabulous. - Convenience overall is wonderful. There are ABC stores all over, there are a couple of great bars and food joints right around the corner as well. (We liked Lulu's for lunch and beverages, and the "Deck." is a must for dinner.) - This location is on the quiet side of Waikiki because it is kind of at the "end" of the strip. The zoo is right next door, and parkland makes up most of the view. If you like a little people watching but not so much the crowds, this is for you. - The staff at the desk was very friendly and welcoming. Elevators worked well. The lobby was very well maintained. Check out the 10th floor! - Free parking nearby! - The owners, Alexei, checking in on us a couple times. Super nice!! Not Cons! But some realities of a week in this VRBO - the unit needs a little TLC. - The shower water takes a while to get hot, so let it run, but not close to the door because the seal to the floor doesn't work properly and will get the bathroom soaked. - The closet doors aren't super friendly to open/shut, but they work. We found we didn't like to use it because of the door. - There is not a lot of room for your luggage. If you are staying over a week, it will take some thinking for how to use the unit while accessing all your stuff. We had floaties and two huge suitcases and backpacks. We made it work. - There are fabulous lounge chairs in the room (we thought they were super comfy), but they are shedding their leather horribly on the armrests. I'm not sure this is fixable, so they might just need to be replaced. Overall, we think this was the PERFECT place to stay for our first trip to Hawaii.

Awesome stay for a couple
Great property! It’s located on the 6th floor of the building with a beautiful view of Diamond Head and the beach from the balcony. Since it’s in Waikiki, it’s close to all the hustle and bustle, but east enough to escape if that’s not your vibe. Parking was a bit of a hassle, but we were able to make it work. Comfy bed, nice shower, and great amenities. Plus, the common area on the 10th floor was beautiful. Host was responsive and easy to work with. I’d definitely recommend this stay!
