Great unit, spectacular views
This top floor unit with ocean views from every window has everything you need for a relaxing, no hassles getaway. You cannot get a better view for sunsets than on this lanai. A world away from Waikiki hubbub but it’s a 5 min Uber or 25 min walk to the action, or 2blocks to the nearest hotel for Mai Tais or breakfast. . Love the secret swimming hole off the sea wall for a dip in the gorgeous ocean. We will come back.

Ready to come back!
Lovely condo! Very clean, fun decor, and well stocked with just about everything we could need during our stay. Air conditioners in living room & bedroom, but we liked opening the windows and letting the breeze in. Great views of the water & Diamond Head. Sunset view is exquisite! Location is reasonably quiet but situated close enough to the highway to make island exploration easy. Food & grocery delivery available in the area (Shipt, Grubhub, UberEats, etc). Within walking distance to the zoo, and Kaimana & Kapiolani beaches. Parking is a challenge during daytime hours. Options are the $25/day parking pass at booking, free street spaces if you're lucky enough to snag one, and metered parking across the street (50 cents/hr; free 6pm-10am). We were usually out & about until dinnertime anyway, so the metered spots worked out fine for us. Great communication via VRBO and telephone. Very patient, friendly, and available. Thanks for a wonderful stay...we didn't want to leave!

Nice but simple
Great view and good location. Small details were lacking for the price of the unit like very low quality or no bath paper products. The entrance requires an elevator ride to the top and then walking up a tight staircase to the next floor. Overall, good experience, but a bit basic and quirky for the price.

My sister and I had a wonderful stay at the property. Gorgeous views!!
The host responded promptly and our on site property host was wonderful. The apt has everything you need. Location is great, quiet. Within walking distance to busy, loud Waikiki where all the action is.
So nice to sit in the balcony and watch the ocean with all the boats and surfers. I would stay here again.

Every expectation was met!
My husband and I stayed in July to celebrate his birthday. The condo met every expectation. From the amazing view from the lanai, to the cleanliness and layout of the condo. The concierge desk had someone available to answer questions most of the time. The location is great for those who are looking for a slightly quieter, more relaxed, time in Honolulu. We will definitely rent again when we return to Oahu!

14th floor penthouse at Diamond Head met our expectations and we will definitely return to this unit
It's all about location and this location places you outside the hustle and bustle of Waikiki yet you remain in walking distance of top of Diamond Head and Waikiki...the unit for its age is spacious and comfortable with the trades keeping it fresh and airy. The property managers have tastefully decorated the unit and it is clean through and through. The outside lanai is a great place to hang out in the morning and late evening hours...the AC units are a bit noisy but all in all it's a great place at a reasonable rate and we will be back to this gem at Diamond Head and Kapiolani Park.

Amazing!
The location and set up of the condo is great. The view from the patio is breathtaking. I would have given five stars if the a/c unit hadn't been so loud in the bedroom. That said, I would stay here again in a heartbeat! LOVED IT!

Amazing Stay
We loved our evening sunsets. The location is close enough but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. We have little to no complaints other than the A/C being quite loud, but most of the time we were so tired it didn't matter. We would definitely return at some point in the future.

Unbelievable views!
We absolutely loved this spot for our 11 day vacation. My bf and I are sick of overpriced hotels and wanted something with a more local vibe. This spot has it! ON THE WATER, literally steps and you are in the ocean. The building is combined with residential and rental units so it's a great vibe and everyone is so nice.
You can see the fireworks every Friday from the balcony. The full kitchen is great, we baked and cooked a lot. There were some floaty toys there for us to use. We paid extra for a parking spot but was totally worth it.
OK, so only reason I didn't give 5 stars was mostly the unit was a bit outdated, the air conditioning was awful, super loud and was very hard to sleep. And there was no waters, coffee, extra paper towels, etc so we basically had to immediately go to the store and buy everything. I am accustomed to the details mattering a bit more, but other then those things this was a fantastic stay and we would rent again.

View From The Penthouse
Actually, the roof of the Penthouse. Spectacular views from three sides. Leafy, quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to Waikiki beaches, restaurants, and bars. Parking on property is limited, however street parking is readily available.
Because three sides are glass, the condo gets warm during the day. Make certain the shades are pulled before leaving. The air conditioning will cool it down in an hour or so.
Kitchen is functional and adequately equipped.
Should stay here again.

Great Location
The pictures don't do it justice! The views were fantastic and the location was perfect. It was a quick walk to the beach and many restaurants. The kitchen was equipped with many cooking utensils/pots and pans. It was perfect for our honeymoon. Only downfall was the plates and dishes in the cabinet weren't clean so we had to re-wash everything.
