Perfect for the two of us, swimming at Kaimana’s and walking Kapiolani Park.

We had a great time at the apartment. On arrival Jo met us at the apartment and gave a tour of the property. The location was ideal, just a short walk to Kapiolani Park and beach. The views of Diamond Head and the sunsets at the patio were spectacular. The apartment itself was very comfortable and nicely appointed. I would highly recommend staying here.

The location of this property was excellent for my needs. The building was quiet and the unit was all I needed. I never used the kitchenette so I can't evaluate that but it looked well-stocked. There were plenty of towels in the bathroom. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. There's a small air conditioner that is more than sufficient to cool the place and a big fan when you don't want to use it. The views from the backyard were amazing. Parking was a breeze most nights at the park across the street. I would come back.

This was a good little home base as we explored the island. It’s at the far south end of Honolulu, so it took a little longer to get to anything north since we had to navigate city traffic. Clean, a little dated, quiet, and very close to Diamond Head. The mattress & pillows were not as comfortable as we’d have liked, but we’ve learned to not to expect much of bedding in this price range. Overall a good stay. It was hard to find the right foot traffic entrance when checking in, even with the written directions, and we quickly learned to never leave the room without the fob since it was necessary for getting back in the gate.

Awesome property walking distance to Waikiki and access to private ocean view perfect for watching sunsets. Very quiet, away from hustle bustle of touristy areas.

This location is wonderful. You’re in easy walking distance to Waikiki but it’s very quiet and calm at the apartment. The shared beachfront area is lovely and the perfect place for a morning coffee. The apartment isn’t the most updated but it’s perfectly functional and comfortable. Just be aware that the kitchen area is definitely a kitchenette and there’s only one sink in the bathroom.

We love staying at Diamond Head Beach Hotel. Each unit is individually owned so the review is for this unit. Exactly what we needed! Enough room in the bedroom and even more in the living room. We return to Honolulu 3-4 times a year after living in Honolulu so we know the area and property well. Looking forward to the next visit! Aloha!

We’ve been staying at the DBH for 40 years, and return every year. This particular condo is situated ocean front and offers all the amenities. Word to the wise- the fold out couch is probably best for 2 children, anyone older/bigger will feel it’s a tight squeeze.

After reviewing other options up & down Waikiki beach for rental, selected this site as the Best. And it was. Convenient, spacious, functional kitchen & with on-site parking. We couldn't have been happier. Thanks!

We stayed here mainly due to the proximity to the honolulu marathon. The unit is stripped to the bare minimum. There were four towels for the entirety of our 4 night-stay for 4 people. There were a few *critical* things (both tangible and conceptual) that were missing or lacking of. No toiletries were provided, and when I informed the host he did not apologize but rather said I should look harder as he is certain there is some in the bathroom. The inside of the unit did not appear to have been professionally cleaned. There were mold-like residue on the shower curtain. The exterior door is covered with grime. The blinds in the living room were not working and was left up, so we lacked privacy during our stay. I did alert the host about the issue, and again was told to try harder as he is certain it should be working. He eventually sent someone to look at it, and that person confirmed that it was indeed broken. No apologies from the host whatsoever. We decided not to pursue repairs as we are nearing the end of our trip, and did not want to be bothered with people going in and out of our space.
TL;DR
Unit was subpar and customer service. *Two stars at the most.*

A great condo unit in a great location away from the crowds of Waikiki.
Bathroom:
Shower pressure was solid.
Good sized and clean. Located in the bedroom, which could pose problems if you are sharing the unit with kids or another couple (sleeping on the pullout couch).
Kitchen:
Fully equipped to cook except for b pot holders.
Coffee maker was dependable and great to have. We left a couple cold paks in the freezer hopefully for future users. Great having a cooler to bring to the beach with us for cold snicks and sandwiches.
Bedroom: Great king-sized bed that was extremely comfortable. Lots of room to hang and store clothes in, closets with hangers and dresser drawers. Larger sized bedroom.
Location: Great being so close to Kapiolani park to watch little tyke soccer on weekends. Also great location for morning runs along the Ala Wai canal, around Diamond Head and close enough to walk to, to hike to the top. Also within a good walk to the Kapiolani Community Center Farm Market. We had our own beach nearby (Kaimana). We call it ours because it was close enough to our place and wasn’t overrun by tourists. The outdoor space with loungers, faced the ocean and had amazing sunsets.
Overall: would highly recommend to other visitors that want to get away from the crowds but don’t mind a long walk into Waikiki for dinner or drinks. We used the Biki city bike services often, so getting around was convenient, safe and an inexpensive alternative to Uber/Lyft.

The unit was located in a nice and quite area, about 15 min walking distance to Waikiki. Enjoyed lots of time on the balcony overlooking the ocean. Perfect for our needs. We paid for onsite parking, and it was well worth it, but can be a little tight at times. Also washer and dryer was in the basement (not in unit) - but there were plenty of machines, so not a big issue.

Location was close enough to Waikiki that we could easily walk there, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. The little garden area was a great spot to relax in the evenings and watch the sunset, and the park across the street was nice to walk through and see the enormous trees. Close to a local beach.
The actual condo was as described! Big bedroom and nice sized bathroom. Kitchen had what was needed for quick meals. The A/C was a little weak but was manageable and it was nice that it even had A/C! The unit and building was quiet.
All in all a great stay.

The property was clean, away from the business of the main city, but still close enough to walk into town. The room wasn't fancy, but met our needs.
The view of the volcano from the balcony was spectacular. The downstairs communal sitting area with a view of the ocean and rocky beach access was lovely too.

We had a wonderful stay here. We could see the Diamondhead crater great if you go up to the top floor. The ocean backs up to the property. We enjoyed our coffee and sunsets from the backyard. The bed was comfortable, the neighborhood nice. Parking was a little bit of a walk, but not too bad. We close to everything without being in downtown Honolulu.

The description of the property was spot on. The only surprise was the beautiful view from the lanai, there are no words that can accurately describe how awesome and amazing it is, you have to see it for yourself. My family and I would definitely stay here again.

This is a beautiful condo in the perfect location. It is a quick walk down the beach to get to the excitment of Wiakiki, but far enough out that you can still drive easily to other parts of the island for exploration. If you like to run there is a great run, about 6 km, around Diamond Head.
The condo is great, the lanai has a spectacular view out over the water where you can nearly always see surfer and the canoe from the club a couple of building down the beach. The only funny thing is that the entrance to the second bedroom if from the first rather than off the hallway. That said, I would still book this condo when back on Oahu. As a matter of fact I tried, but it was already rented for my dates.

I don’t want to rave too much about the Diamond Head Beach Hotel as we keep coming back to it. This suite was a great budget option and had its own private waterfront area with chairs. Bring your binoculars to watch the jets and surfers.

Had a great time. We had all the amenities of home that we needed. The location was perfect for us. It’s a quieter area but walkable to the main Waikiki area. We’re Elks Lodge members and had just a one minute walk to access the 616 beautiful lodge. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your place.

Nice clean unit with full kitchen in the diamond head area with a 10 minute walk to the action in Waikiki. Stayed many times in this building due to its quiet nature and easy beach access and proximity to everything. It was easy dealing with the manager Mark and all instructions were clear and concise. Only recommendation would be an upgrade to a King sized bed to make the unit even better. Great spot though. Enjoy!
