Could not have asked for a better experience. Views were amazing! Room was quaint and very homey. Bill was great with communication and answered any questions promptly. Check in and check out were easy. Recommend getting a parking pass as it made it so much easier to park. Everything is in walking distance really so unless you need to drive, the area has everything. Highly recommended!! We are already planning our next trip to come back and stay. Mahalo!

perfect for business. The street is a busy city street so you might want to bring earplugs but otherwise its my go to when I travel here.

The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The host was an excellent, quickly responded to any questions we had and provided us with an umbrella and ice packs for days at the beach. The location is excellent and only minutes from the beach and restaurants. Thank you for providing this location!

Property manager, Bill, was extremely gracious accommodating our earlier than planned arrival. Condo was clean and well stocked for a location in Waikiki. Unfortunately, the unit next to us was being remodeled during our stay, as was the pool.

Well, the view can’t be beat. Our little room overlooking the zoo and out to Diamondhead and the ocean was spectacular. We had a great time on the island Oahu , and the location of the Waikiki Grand made it easy for us to go south east and north.

I would like to start by saying the condo itself is fine. It had a good view and was in close proximity to the beach, restaurants, and parking. It had the things we needed to do some cooking and for the price was decent.
However, the issue we had was with the very thin walls. It is right next to the elevator which you can hear when it is used. Multiple nights there were drunk people yelling in the hallway at all hours of the night. The street is also very loud which also had people yelling at all hours and very loud motorcycles every night. Other residents would slam their doors at night and early morning. We woke up to people moving furniture in their unit at 5am. To say the least, we did not sleep well on our vacation.
I’m not sure that anything can be done as there are supposedly quiet hours. Bring earplugs.

This was our second stay. The 6 or 7 intervening years did not have any negative impacts on this incredible condo. For us, it could not be more perfect. We spent literally hours on the lanai admiring the view and watching the world go by. There was always something going on to entertain us. Perfect location for shops and swimming, but that view made us forget there was a big city behind us. Comfy bed, great air con (much needed for us delicate flowers from the bottom of the Southern Hemisphere), all you need in the kitchen for self-catering, and a wonderfully kind and friendly host. We would never stay anywhere else if we return, for fear of it not meeting the high bar of this accommodation! Thanks so much, Bill!

Bill is a great property manager and was very communicative. I would definitely stay again - constructive criticism- paint apartment yearly to give it a fresh feeling - update bedroom quilt - very inexpensive . Your apartment could be taken to luxury status with very few changes - especially with your views !

Overall happy with the stay and the location. The mattress left a great deal to be desired for us older couples, but the balcony view, having a kitchenette and fridge was great.

We stayed there a week. Waikiki beach 200 yards away, along with Starbucks, ABC stores, several restaurants, priceless view, a more than adequate kitchenette, beach chairs, towels, clean living space. What more could you ask? We had a perfect time. Located on the 7th floor also provided a great view, plus it reduced the late night weekend street noise. It would help if motorcycles without mufflers were outlawed.

The condo was just as described, being close to the beach and having beautiful views of Diamond Head, the Honolulu Zoo, and the ocean. Bill is an excellent host that I highly recommend. I liked the quiet air conditioner. Waikiki beach is visually very appealing with its palm trees, curving stone sidewalks, and landscaping. The bird-filled Banyon trees were huge and novel to me, with their vertical sub-roots growing down from the horizontal branches. I enjoyed walking around the areas near the hotel. There are many places to eat.
If you know Waikiki and Oahu, you can skip the rest of my review.
I was surprised to learn how many of the beaches in Oahu have water that is shallow and rocky. I like body surfing and just floating up and down in the water up to my shoulders. In Waikiki the water I could access without walking on coral only reached belly high. The air temperature was always comfortable for walking around or hiking, but the ocean at 75 degrees in February felt chilly. Seven sunny days in Waikiki, but of the previous nine days four were rainy.
Waikiki has many attractions, but it is an urban environment with noise and homeless people. From the beach you may hear nearby traffic. Loud mufflers, and long running sirens from police, fire trucks, and ambulances were heard most days. In the condo there was often background noise of buses and trucks idling next to the hotel. Earplugs at night helped me sleep. I saw a few homeless people each day on Waikiki beaches. (On the leeward/west side of Oahu we drove past large encampments of people under tarp dwellings on several of the beaches.) Three times in Waikiki men's rooms there was a different man talking to himself or to an imaginary person, one time in a loud threatening manner. Several parks and scenic overlooks around the island caution you with "high theft area" signs. I was approached for money while walking around the block. From my condo I saw a fight between two men in the zoo lawn, where several men would routinely pass the day in their sleeping bags. With all that said, I'm glad I got to go there. I didn't think I was in danger, and I certainly wouldn't caution you and your family to skip Waikiki if you've never been there. But as a small-town guy I will likely seek a destination without these urban characteristics on my next vacation.

This property has a beautiful view and amazing location. The unit itself has a lot of room and a spacious balcony. The owner of this VRBO is amazing and went above and beyond to make sure our stay went smooth and was enjoyable. He let us have a late checkout because of our late flight, which was so nice of him. On top of that, I accidentally left my Prada purse behind and he sent me a picture of it and is sending it in the mail for me. The stay was already great, but by him doing these 2 extra things for me, created the best VRBO experience ever. 100% recommend staying here. Thank you so much for allowing my husband and I to stay at your beautiful property!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Waikiki Grand and the view from 714 deck was stunning. We were there in early December and had sun hitting the deck most of the day. Great beach across the street, plenty of food choices, and ABC stores have all other needs.

GREAT view and superb location for a short stay near all the most important Waikiki sights and experiences. Easy bus access to get to and from important locations. ONLY negative for the property is the "mini" TV so small it sits inside a kitchen cabinet!!! Of course watching TV should be an incidental activity while in paradise, so not a deal breaker at all.

I love this rental location at the park; zoo; beach end of Waikiki. Rental process through VRBO easy, Bill L who is the property Mgr. is so responsive and kindly helpful. The location is prime for me. The front desk staff were ways friendly and helpful. The actual unit was great. Immaculately clean, beautiful view across the park and zoo of Diamond Head and the beach, liked 7th floor location kept outside noise minimal. Everything one would need for a beach vacation was supplied - beach chairs and towels. Also, be sure to visit 10th floor area at sunset for an amazing view.

We stayed at the location for 3 nights and it was just amazing. Everything is walking distance. From our balcony we could see the beach for every sunrise and sunset. Very clean room. We had beach chairs, towels for the beach already for us. There’s a free parking not to far that made it accessible with our rental car. A stress free spot to spend our honeymoon.

This studio condo was just right for two! The listing was completely accurate and the views of Diamond Head and the beach from the lanai were fantastic. Bill was very pleasant to work with and provided extra amenities like towels and beach chairs. Easy walking distance to the beach, restaurants and attractions. We had a wonderful 10 days!

My wife and I enjoyed this property and its location. It overlooks the beach, zoo and Diamondhead. We were easy walking distance to anything in Waikiki and it had easy access to the highway for travel around the O'ahu. We'd stay here again!

Great place to stay. Room is small but when we were there, we spent most of our time on the lanai. Unfortunately the room is not sound proof. You could hear people talking on the street at night but I loved the area. Very close to the beach, the souvenir stores and the restaurants.

Everything about our rental experience was great. Bill sent us check in instructions a couple of days before out stay. The day of, he texted to make sure we arrived safely. As we walked into the unit, we can tell it was throughly cleaned. There was a binder with instructions and suggestions. The view was absolutely AMAZING! Waking up each morning to Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach was the best. Everything was walking distance and plenty of tours to sign up for. There were essentials left for cooking as well as beach chairs and towels. Overall, we had an amazing stay!

Love staying here, room was wonderful, views of the beach and Diamond Head were amazing sites to wake up to each morning! Bed was comfy, loved the beach chairs and extra towels, Perfect location, close enough to all things Waikiki but still is quiet and quaint and away from the center of the hussle and bussle of the city! An amazing trip - a real trip of a lifetime! We will be back one day!

I had such a nice stay in this unit. It was very clean and short walking distance to the beach, tennis courts, restaurants, etc. The view was great - I ate dinner on the lanai many nights. If I return to Waikiki I will definitely stay here again!
