Magnificent Ocean View Penthouse, FREE PARKING-
Pool renovation until April 20
Enjoy being on top of the world and just one block from Waikiki's best beach. Our one bedroom beach house has breath taking panoramic ocean views from front and side windows, a separate fully equipped kitchen, 50" flat screen Smart T.V., large lanai facing the ocean, free WIFI and cable. As this suite is the penthouse level of 'The Diamond Stack' at the Waikiki Banyan, it is 60 sq. feet larger than other suites and offers three more windows and higher ceilings creating a larger living space. Our newly remodeled bathroom is a great addition to our clean and comfortable penthouse in paradise.
There is a view from almost everywhere in the apartment. Open all the blinds and enjoy seeing large expanses of Waikiki. Sit up in bed and the ocean view awaits you... The mirrored dining table wall allows you to see the view even if you're not looking directly out the window. This is a premier view condo.
If you are a boogie boarder or surfer you can look out and view the surf break. Look through the binoculars and maybe you'll be lucky enough to spot a whale. Our condo is both romantic and family friendly for all ages. We have created a relaxing and comfortable Hawaiian style environment that is welcoming and fun. As soon as you walk through the door you will be amazed at the view and feeling of Aloha.
Our condo has high quality Egyptian 1800 thread soft linens, a well stocked kitchen with pots, pans, rice cooker, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, slow cooker, and full size stove and refrigerator. The wood floors are cool and clean and perfect for a home by the beach. The large dining table is ready for you to enjoy a home cooked meal or just walk a few short steps to find a huge variety of take-out, casual and fine dining.
If you can tear yourself away from the spectacular view in the penthouse suite, you can walk a block to the most beautiful beach, the famous Honolulu Zoo, peaceful and majestic Kapiolani Park, the Aquarium, Aloha Shell, the International Marketplace, the Ali Wai golf course and all the upscale and fun shopping on Kalakaua Avenue. The efficient Bus stops within a block and provides affordable transportation to Chinatown, Diamond Head, the Ala Moana Shopping Center, Ward Center and the movie complex located there, the Academy of Fine Arts, Bishop Museum, Iolani Palace, Pearl Harbor, and The Bus completely circles the island if you want to visit the North Shore, Lanikai, Kahala and every area you may want to explore.
The Waikiki Banyan is a top rated resort that features a recreation deck with a large swimming pool, lounge chairs, 2 hot tubs with jets, a snack bar, tennis, pickleball court and basketball courts, very clean coin operated BBQ grills with outdoor seating. On the pool level there are also restrooms, showers and dressing area with saunas. The lobby features a beautiful waterfall and koi pond as well as a mini mart, coffee house/juice bar/sandwich shop with WIFI, copier and printer, and wonderful historic Hawaiian framed photos that you will enjoy viewing. The bank of 4 elevators will swiftly return you to the top floor and your home in Hawaii.

You cannot beat the location of this gem, both for the sights and its proximity to the things. The morning sunrises to the east of Diamond Head are magical, and the ocean is right outside the door wall. The entirety of Waikiki is within walking distance and if that weren't enough, the hosts understand what makes a great Hawaiian vacation, and have outfitted the condo appropriately. 5 stars across the board, and you'd be hard pressed to top this diamond in paradise. Book it now, thank me later!

Ocean view condo
Our stay was genuinely fabulous. The location was fantastic as well as the view. You are about a block and a half from the beach and everything else. The only issue i had was the last morning of our stay. Our flight was a little later so we planned to stay right up until check out time but, at about 1040 the cleaning person never knocked and just walked right into the condo unannounced. She backed out saying oh, didnt know you were still here, i have someone else coming in so, not a huge deal right? Somewhat. Well, my husband and i decided to let her in after a few mins of collecting ourselves to start her job and, all of the sudden, were trying to get out the door and the next person just came.right in cause they new the owner and just sat there before we were even out! I did not love that but, beyond that little hiccup, I'd rate the stay a 10 out of 10. The owners were reachable and the description was accurate. I'd recommend.

Beautiful Perch Above The City
We had a delightful stay. Perched high above the city, the top floor corner location has a commanding view and invites the tradewinds in for lovely cross-ventilation. Even on the 38th floor, the street noise was a bit much at night so we closed them and ran the A/C. The location is super convenient to the park, beaches, Diamond Head, shopping, restaurants, etc. It's uncommon for guests to cook in this kitchen but we did. It is fairly well equipped and we made some tasty meals and enjoyed them on the balcony. There is no dishwasher but that wasn't a problem for the two of us. The pool/spa deck recently closed for renovation, and also the BBQ grills, which was a little disappointing but we came for the beach, right? Marilyn, the host, is super attentive and helpful. We definitely recommend this place

A Perfect Hawaiian Getaway
We had the most amazing time at this property! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views and the peaceful atmosphere. The home was exactly as described—spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The location was ideal for exploring the island, with easy access to the beach, hiking trails, and local shops. We especially enjoyed spending time on the beach just a short walk away. The neighborhood felt safe, and we felt right at home from day one.The host was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. They even left us a thoughtful welcome gift with local treats, which was a wonderful touch.If you're looking for a relaxing, beautiful retreat in Hawaii, I highly recommend this property. We can’t wait to return for our next vacation!CAU. For your protection, pl

Fabulous location excellent host communication
We stayed 9 days beginning late February 2025. Marilyn is an excellent communicator; not too much but just the right amount of contact.The property is small but just right for a couple with beautiful views. We found this end of Waikiki much nicer than the more touristy end. The beach, a block away, has a breakfront making it like a safe little lagoon. The property is attractive and very clean but could use a little updating as could the entire building.
