2Bed/2Bath Penthouse Ocean/Diamond Head views, near Convention Center

You'll be sitting on top of the world at this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath Penthouse with an open living room and fully-equipped kitchen.

The jaw-dropping 270-degree view includes Diamond Head, sweeping ocean view, Ala Wai Canal, Ala Wai golf course, Ft DeRussy park, the beautiful Koolau Mountain range, sunrises AND sunsets!

The penthouse is excellent for families and friends; less expensive than a hotel, has a full kitchen, and at over 1000 square feet (large by Waikiki standards), the penthouse will comfortably sleep 6. The ocean-side primary bedroom has a king bed, the Diamond Head-side primary bedroom has two full beds, and the living room has a new high-quality Queen sofa bed. In addition, we have a crib available at no charge. The bedrooms, living/dining room and kitchen all have spectacular views. Every Friday night, you can watch the fireworks launched from the nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village, and on special occasions, you'll see a bigger show on Waikiki Beach.

You'll have a fully equipped kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, blender, coffee pot and grinder, pots and pans, silverware and just about anything else you need. To top it off, the kitchen has a panoramic ocean view!

One bathroom features a Japanese-style deep bathtub (furo) with a shower. The second bathroom has a walk-in shower. You'll also have your own washer and dryer in the penthouse.
A supply cabinet contains beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels and assorted beach items.

You'll enjoy the huge recreation deck with large swimming pool, hot tub, barbecue grills, picnic tables and lounge chairs. There are no resort fees to use these facilities. Also on site is a new fitness center which is ALMOST free: it only costs $5 for your entire stay (not per day!).

There is a large flat-screen TV with cable service and Roku. The free high-speed WIFI is your private network, not shared with other units, and is powerful enough for the whole family to share their vacation experience.

The Hawaii Convention Center is within walking distance, as are the Hilton Hawaiian Village and other venues where conventions are held. If you must do business while in Waikiki there is a desk in one of the bedrooms and also a nook in the dining area.

The Hawaiian Monarch is a mixture of hotel-owned and privately-owned units. There are only three other penthouses on the same floor. Four elevators provide access. Our penthouse is privately owned, managed, and maintained; it is not part of the hotel pool.

Parking is available in the onsite parking garage. The garage is privately owned and the rate at the time of this writing is $40/day with full in and out privileges. Parking is not included in the rent as most of our guests do not rent a car. The penthouse has a Walk Score of 92 (out of 100). Some guests rent a car for a day of exploring from one of the nearby car rental companies. Turo is available for car rentals, too.

Within walking distance are many restaurants and shopping, including Ala Moana Shopping Center, resorts, grocery and convenience stores, music venues, sports bar, post office, green parks, Waikiki Beach Walk, and of course, Waikiki Beach itself!

Waikiki and the surrounding area have a gazillion things to do. Of course, there is the world's most famous beach. Many water sports are available, including surfing, paddle boarding, boogie boarding, snorkeling, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, parasailing and more. There is shopping for everything from souvenir trinkets to high-end luxury stores and everything in between.

Hear world-class music at many resorts, such as Blue Note Jazz Club, the Waikiki Shell, the Blaisdell Arena, and local musicians playing rock, jazz, and, of course, the soothing sound of Hawaiian music.

Honolulu has an extensive public bus system and a bus stop across the street from the penthouse. Buses reach many areas over the island, including major destinations such as Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Chinatown, Honolulu Airport, Honolulu Zoo, The Aquarium and others.

In addition to all these visitor attractions, something else makes it worth coming to Hawaii: the Hawaiian culture. Aloha is a real thing, not just a buzzword. You'll know it when you experience it. We encourage you to learn about the culture and history via the many museums and personally connect with Hawaiian people.

Our local weather person likes to say we have 'the best weather on the planet'. Is it cold where you are? Come to Waikiki and warm up! Are you suffering from unbearable heat and humidity? Come to Waikiki and cool off! Our average daily temperature is low to mid-80s F/ 27 C all year.

This is a legal vacation rental property managed by a licensed real estate broker with over 20 years of experience with Hawaii vacation rentals. You won't have to worry if your rental will be there when you arrive.

Beautiful views and a nice spacious place. The building itself is a little run down and parking is expensive ($45/day). Beach is a far walk (20-30 minutes one way). One couch is on its last legs and we were afraid to sit on it as it looked like the legs would break off. Not enough soap, shampoo, etc (our family of five, staying for eight nights was giving the very small -- 2 oz -- shampoos and hand soaps about the size of a silver dollar). The beach items were a big plus, and much appreciated. A 7-11 near the lobby was very convenient. We had a car, so everything worked out really well, but without a car going to and from the beach would have been tough with our group size and things we were carrying.

A Truly Amazing Apartment!
This has to be one of the best apartment rentals we have ever had anywhere in the world! The description and photos were absolutely spot on, and the apartment was exactly as presented -- but better, because the view was incredible! We stayed a week, and still did not tire of just looking out the windows! Steve, the owner, was great. He provided timely and excellent advice and suggestions, such as the weekly farmer's markets. He was always immediately responsive and available, and was genuinely interested in making sure that we had everything we needed for an enjoyable visit. And we certainly did! The furnishings were comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped. The Roku TV was also an added benefit! The hotel elevators were prompt and efficient, and the coffee shop in the lobby provided excellent pastries and coffee if desired in the mornings. We truly could not have asked for a better place to stay in Waikiki, and will definitely plan on a return visit!

What a view
From the first time we made contact with Steve, everything was so smooth. He kept in contact with us throughout arrival and departure. The building is in a prime location, overlooking Wakakki Beach. Walking distance to food venues, bars shopping..etc. We only had to use our rental car 1 day, because we went to the Punchbowl Cemetery, and took a ride to see a waterfall. The penthouse was clean and fully equipped. We just had to find a market to get water, coffee, etc. That was all in walking distance. I highly recommend a stay here on your next visit to Oahu. Thanks for everything.

Amazing views!
Steve is an absolute super-host and made check-in and all communication seamless. He was so quick to respond to all emails and questions and was very helpful. Fantastic host in every respect. The location of the building is close enough to a great beach and downtown. We had to use Uber and taxis for some destinations, but typically walked everywhere. The building itself is older and very dated, but it had basic but adequate facilities (pool, hot tubs, workout room). Another huge plus was two closets filled with beach equipment (chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc.) The condo we stayed in was definitely dated and older, but it was clean. All things needed for kitchen/laundry were provided and made it easy for cooking and keeping up with clean towels for our group. There were only two things that were sub-par. The AC is VERY LOUD and awkward, and it did not work half of the time in one bedroom. Steve was aware and had waited quite a long time for a repair person who was coming the day we left. The second issue was the king bed was extremely hard, and I ended up sleeping on the couch every night. But other than a few other aesthetic things, the condo served our purpose well, and we would recommend it because of the view, amenities, and gracious staff who work there. And as already mentioned, Steve is a fantastic host. If you don’t need or care about updated/fancy accommodations, this is your place.
