You'll be sitting on top of the world at this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath Penthouse with 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 great 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 master bedroom has a king bed, the Diamond Head-side master bedroom has two full beds and the living room has a new high quality Queen sofa bed. In addition, we also have a crib available for 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 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 own 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 3 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 the majority 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 a great number of 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, 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 there is a bus stop across the street from the penthouse. Buses reach many areas all 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, there is something else that 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 to make personal connections with Hawaiian people.

Our local weather person likes to say that 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 in the low 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 that your rental will be there when you arrive.

Please see the Amenities section for more details.

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.

The Sisters enjoyed our stay on Honolulu and the people at the Hawaiian Monarch were very courteous, from the security personnel, to the individual Owner Steve. Beds were comfortable, we cooked several meals in their fully equipped kitchen and watched movies with easy Roku devices. The views were spectacular and it was very quiet. The pool and jacuzzi needed to be cleaned on the day we used them and this area is shared with the Monarch's other unit owners. Security is good and we always felt safe. It was a wonderful time. Aloha

This condo is perfect. It is exactly as advertised. It is clean and stocked with everything you will need. It is very spacious. The views are absolutely breathtaking! You can see the ocean, Diamond Head, the canal and much more from any window in the condo. It is about a 20 minute walk to the beach. There are numerous stores and restaurants within walking distance of the condo as well. The pool and hot tubs are wonderful. There are plenty of lounge chairs and an outdoor cooking area! Steve is an amazing host and answered all of the questions that I had. He also checked in with us during our stay to make sure we were ok and didn’t need anything. We had a small issue with a thermostat and he had it fixed within 20 minutes. We loved everything about the condo and would definitely stay here again! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Firstly, Steve was great. Very helpful. The views from the penthouse were spectacular, and in a great location. The penthouse was clean and tidy, but in need of updating. One of the sofas legs broke, and Steve couldn’t fix it, so had to remove all the legs, which felt like you were sitting on the floor ! The other sofa had a cover on it, which I presume was to conceal something. A bathroom light smashed whilst we were watching tv. Made us all jump at the sound of breaking glass ! A towel rail fell off, one of the hairdryers was faulty and tripped the fuse panel. There was a couple of cupboards that were falling apart. We also experienced a power cut and the internet stopped working for the last couple of days, which is obviously no one’s fault. One of the worst things though, was the elevators. Most of the time only 1 seemed to be working. This meant that it took forever to get up and down due to the amount of people using them, and when they were busy, the heat was awful. My wife almost passed out once. The ac in the master bedroom kept going off too. Other than these points, we had a great time, but wouldn’t go somewhere that old again. I believe the hotel in which the penthouse is located, is a 2 star, which is probably right

Everyday, the four of us enjoyed the views from the penthouse windows. The ocean and sky went on forever. The views at night were were just as magical as the day with lights glittering like a magic forest. The living space was spacious, the beds comfortable, the showers had good force and all was clean.

Parking is terrible, sometimes it take 20-30 minutes wait time to get a parking spot. Clearance is 6ft and 2 inches, so if you have bigger vehicles, it is hard. Other thing is elevators, it is worst, it takes 5 minutes sometimes.

This penthouse was an amazing find! It was quiet and had two actual bedrooms, not an accordion wall to separate rooms and 2 full bathrooms like a lot of other places. It may have been the cleanest place I've ever rented! Steve was always quick to respond and the penthouse had all we needed to enjoy the beach (ice chest, chairs, sand toys, body boards, and umbrella). We could walk to many restaurants and the beach. The elevator can take some time, but the views are amazing! Parking is $40 a day which is quite pricey if you rent a car.

This property was so awesome. The pictures match the property to a "T". The property manager, Steve Marcotte, stayed on top of everything from the reservation to after we got home. He was able to answer all of our questions, provide insight of things to do locally. He was very attentative to any and all needs we had. He checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying the property to the fussest. I would totally recommend going through him if/when you need a place to stay while visiting Oahu.

The owner was very nice and answered all of my questions. He reached out right away when we arrived to make sure everything was good. The location is very convenient. We enjoyed the Cream Pot restaurant on the lower level for breakfast and the Pizza place is yummy.! You need to walk down to the lowest level and order the pizza in person. The Penthouse is spacious and we appreciated having a small cooler available for us to use as well as beach towels. The carpets had just been cleaned we arrived. Plenty of towels and the bed linens were fresh. The views really make the stay!

The room was nice and clean. Very organized. It is old and you can tell it has been dated for a while but the location made up for it. The elevator worked 2 out of the 3 but we still didn’t have to wait too long for it. Fairly easy to get to and has a great view.

The building and the unit is dated. But the room was very clean and the view was amazing. My husband, my parents total 4 adults could stay comfortably

This condo has amazing views and was centrally located. It was a short walk through a beautiful park to Waikiki Beach. Steve was an amazing host answered all questions quickly and took care of a minor problem within minutes! I would say the area did have a fair amount of sirens and traffic that I wouldn’t have expected to hear but we did. The people that we met were are so very friendly and helpful. The parking fee was a little steep - at 40 a night but frankly we would not have had to rent a car. We went to the North Shores to see that area and there was a trolley you could have taken. The same for the windward sign - which by the was was just beautiful! We saw whales, watched surfers. A trolley was also available here. If I was to go again I’d skip the car rental or get a smart car for one or two days at the property for much less! Overall I’d rate this a 5 and would not hesitate to rent again.

This condo was perfect for two couples. We loved the location and view of Waikiki and Diamond Head! Arrived after dark so was fun to see city lights and then to watch the sunrise in the morning. Steve does a great job communicating and checked in on us a couple times. Side note… check out Tantalus Lookout for a beautiful panoramic view over city from Diamond Head to airport…. Well worth the drive up the hill… go all the way to the top and watch a beautiful sunset.

The penthouse was beautiful and comfy, views were outstanding and location was perfect! The convenance of the garage right off the elevators was an added bonus. Walking to the beach and the heart of Waikiki was within a mile or so and felt safe and very easy. Steve was very helpful and responded to my questions very quickly. I would definitely stay here again!


Janine B.
February 2023
This condo was even better than we expected! I thought I would miss not having a lanai, but the panoramic views were so breathtaking day and night that I never did. The condo is more spacious than I expected, and having a second bathroom was very nice. The unit was very clean, the location was great (we walked to the beach just a few blocks and the on site pizza shop and neighboring 7/11 provided all we needed for 3 nights. The instructions sent by Steve were very clear and when we had one question he answered us right away. He checked in with us throughout our stay to be sure all was well! The extras provided on the closet for the beach such as boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers etc were a very nice touch. We would absolutely stay here again!


Wendy R.
February 2023
Penthouse had great views of Diamond head and Waikiki. It was also very well appointed with beach gear and even a rain umbrella ! Property was spotless and coffee and snacks just an elevator ride away. We had two couples in the condo for a week and were very comfortable! Washer and dryer came in handy.

Very bad musty/moldy smell in the unit but once you open windows it is fine. Awesome view of the area & comfortable beds. Set up nicely for a vacation place.

Our stay was exactly as expected! The views were spectacular; waking up to the sunrise was an amazing experience. The beds were comfortable and the place had everything we needed and more (like the closet of beach chairs and whatnot). It was nice to have an in-unit laundry as well! Steve was very communicative and checked in on us throughout the stay to make sure we were taken care of. Thank you so much!

We transfer from our resort to this property to continue our extended stay. A few more basic supplies would have been nice to round it up. Otherwise, a great view.

Although the building is old the penthouse unit was beautiful with views of both Diamond Head and the ocean. The Hawaiian Village and beach was only a few blocks away with lots of restaurants nearby. Definitely visit Malekos Bakery in the lobby for coffees and pastries. Steve was a fantastic host and communicated with us several times to check in on how things were going.

I booked this apartment for 5 adults to stay before a cruise. Unfortunately my wife and I were unable to travel but our friends spoke with Steve and he had no trouble putting his unit into my friends name. Steve is very accommodating and quick to respond to all questions. Would definitely stay here.

This property provided us with wonderful space for visiting with our adult children. The kitchen had everything I needed to prepare many meals. The outdoor grill patio was an added bonus for our pool party with steaks. The magnificent view was my favorite part of the condo waking each morning to drink my coffee and enjoy the view.

Great location, great communication w owner, great views of Waikiki and walking distance to everything in Waikiki (you're going to get your steps in though if you want to walk to the zoo). We had some wifi speed/connectivity issues, but the owner was easy to communicate with and resolved our issue. The views were incredible, but the elevator is the only down side for being near the top of the building. Great place and would stay again if we return.

I checked into the property on 7/18 and the first 3 days I had an issue with the key card, it had to be reset every night when I came back which was very inconvenient. On day 4 I was stuck in the building elevator for over 10mins.

This place was perfect for our short stay on Oahu. We are a family of four and the unit was very spacious and all that we needed. The views are beautiful from this condo. All of the restaurants we wanted to visit are within walking distance. The beach is a 5-10 minute walk. Waikiki beach was more of a 15 minute walk but that was fine for us. Steve was in communication throughout our stay and was very helpful. Overall it was perfect for what we needed for this trip!

The penthouse is located close to a lot of restaurants and shopping and Waikiki beach. The view is fabulous with view of city, beach and Diamondhead. There was paid parking, which was important as we rented a car to go and do things. Only negatives were that bathrooms are small/tight and master bed is really firm/hard but otherwise it is a great unit and location

We loved the view from this apartment, which was fantastic at all times of the day. It is a short walk to the Hilton Village area where there are nice beaches. The apartment is spacious and we made use of the kitchen and washing machine/dryer. Overall a great place to stay for 2 couples.

Absolutely everything for this penthouse is just as described. Comfortable beds, spacious living room, spacious bedrooms, with a mini washer/dryer. The views are spectacular from both bedrooms, the living room, dining room and kitchen. The location is perfect. Not too far of a drive from tourist attractions. Our family was extremely satisfied with this rental.

Our penthouse was beautiful, comfortable, and very clean! We had 270* views of Waikiki, Diamondhead, and the Punchbowl. Steve was a wonderful host. He contacted us daily just to touch base. We had an issue with one of the showers, and it was repaired within the day. I can’t say enough about the comfort we enjoyed!


Sam L.

The Penthouse was great. The space it provided my family was much needed. The price was right and it even included some extra beach gear. Steve was awesome! He answered all the questions and was helpful. A must stay if you are going to Waikiki. The room was clean and everything you need for a great family vacation. Thanks Steve!

This property has everything one would want in a vacation rental- comfort, cleanliness and convenience. And the views!! Waking up every morning to both mountains and ocean views have been such a treat. The kitchen and bathroom are well stocked. There’s plenty of beach towels, gear and chairs for your daily beach excursions. It is just at the edge of Waikiki so you don’t have the crowds but still have access to good eats and activities. Steve was always available and responsive. His direction was spot on and detailed. We could’ve asked for a better stay.


Tammi L.
February 2022
This home lived up to the hype. The views were absolutely incredible and it had everything we needed. The property manager checked in a couple times to see if we needed anything and was prompt to reply. I'd give it a 10 out of 10 for sure. The only thing I regret is not being able to be there much to enjoy the spectacular views!

Walkability score for everything you need is a 9.5. If you decide to rent a car to head to the North beach which is a must. Right next door. If you take a shuttle to Pearl Harbor. Pick up is close. And if you happen to want to go to Maui brewery. Another good spot. It’s an 8.00 Uber ride. Worth it.



February 2022
We had a amazing stay on the property. Woke up every morning to watch the sunrise. The view was breathtaking and we were sad to leave. Steve was very responsive and communication leading up to our trip was great!

Barbara B.
November 2021
We paid over $1100.00 for a 2 night stay. The view was beautiful. The kitchen was very dirty. The silverware was cleaned by my daughter and the counter still had crumbs from the last tenant. The living room chair had holes in it. The master bath was so narrow, no one overweight could use it. There was sand in the bathtub, a huge stain on the tile entrance. and the lovely dining table was worn to the wood and needed to be refinished for health reasons if not for more pleasing effects. It could have been a beautiful table. Looks like the couch had been recently purchased, however there was a cover over it. I'm assuming they didn't want people to uncover it. We did not feel comfortable staying there because of health issues. There was no offer of a refund or even a partial refund. I could not recommend staying there and we moved to another property.

We had the best time staying here. The location was ideal, within walking distance to beaches, restaurants and many shops. The residence is stocked with almost anything you would need for your stay. Everyone we encountered was Friendly & Helpful. We used Charles Taxi service for our transportation and they were SPECTACULAR!! The drivers acted as our guides and made a point of showing us the highlights of this Beautiful island. We would stay here again, Thank You so much for making our trip so memorable.

Beautiful property and condo. The condo was clean and comfortable. Much better then a hotel. The views were breathtaking and the bed was very comfortable. The only small complaint was the room keys didn’t work for more then 2 or 3 days but it was an easy fix at security. Steve was easy to get a hold of and was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend!!! Can’t wait to come back.

Spectacular views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Walkable to all local beaches and Waikiki. The best communication of any VRBO host I have experienced. Stayed 9 nights and had everything we needed. Would definitely look to book this property for future stays in Honolulu.



August 2021
Very nice VRBO. Steve was very responsive to our questions and helped to replace the toaster which was broken upon arrival. Missed having a dishwasher but we managed to do without. Comfortable beds. Water pressure was low and showers never got real hot. AC was great. Loved the awesome views!

Our stay was great! Despite having to delay for COVID rules we really enjoyed our stay. The property manager is great and communicated perfectly with everything we needed to know. Two small issues, the cleanliness wasn’t perfect as some dishes were dirty and counters were dirty when we arrived but it wasn’t a big deal because the view makes everything worth staying there. The master bath drain is VERY slow but expected since you are close to the beach. Pretty much any restaurant you go to around Honolulu will be great but finding a place with COVID restrictions made it somewhat hard. Expect to wait 45min - 2hrs until restrictions are lifted. We loved running the canal outside the condo and was a great way to start the day followed by drinking coffee and looking at the amazing view. For a better beach walk to Waikiki beach on not the beach by the Hilton. Overall this place was as advertised and amazing and we would go back.

The panoramic view was awesome. The entire apartment needed updated including furniture and bad order from carpet or vents. The walk to the beach is not “right across the park.” I hope the manager updates the property. Beach toys were damaged too.

The view is magnificent. The ease of checking in was great. There are three places to get something to eat and a small little shop within in 2 minutes of the room. The beach is less than 10 minutes to walk to.

The views are absolutely spectacular! The proximity to everything is Waikiki is fantastic as well, we walked everywhere. The only two things that weren't ideal was the air conditioning unit was extremely loud and had a tendency to wake us up at night. Also, the crib is actually a play pen, which isn't ideal.

Steve was amazing, very prompt responding to emails and texts, very easy communication. The condo was in a great location, a short walk to the convention center and the beach. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in paradise. Thank you so much Steve for making our stay the best possible!

Everything was fantastic from the moment I booked - communication with Steve was excellent and he provided some really useful tips and information, we really have no criticisms at all about our stay. Everything you need is provided in the apartment and we were a short stroll away from the centre of Waikiki. We will definitely be back and staying here again, what a great price for such a fab location. Thank you, we love Hawaii!

This is a fabulous condo with ridiculously beautiful views of city, mountain, and ocean. Offers a great set up to enjoy the condo (wifi, comfy couch and beds, and great dining room table) or head off to the beach (with full supplies, including a cooler, beach tent, towels, and umbrellas). Fully stocked kitchen means you can bring home poke, leftovers, or make full advantage of the nearby grocery stores. The building is outdated and the unit itself could use a bathroom refresh, but everything was clean and well taken care of. The air-con works wonders and is adjustable per room (though it is loud, but that's expected in an old Honolulu building). Slight confusion with the owner not receiving messages sent through vrbo or direct text message, but nothing that was significant or that impacted our stay. Would definitely stay again. Pro-Tip: Avoid grouchy parking attendant and confusing, expensive parking situation by using the first floor car rental and return each evening.

The place was easy to find. Beautiful views, we managed to catch the firework show at the Hilton from the condo as advertised. The kids loved it. Very much enjoyed this place, hopefully can come back again.

It has a very strong musty smell. We stayed Saturday night, and Monday night of our stay with my husband and 4 children. Every time we were in the condo, it had the strong musty smell. My two children who are severely allergic to mold and have asthma, immediately showed signs of being exposed. Sunday we headed to Ko'Olina. At our stay in Ko'Olina, we all felt better and were breathing well. After being back Monday night, we decided we were leaving. There was nothing that the owner could do to make us stay, because the health of my children was highly at risk. Must is a 90% indication of mold. We moved to a new location Tuesday morning. The ramifications had already taken a toll on my oldest who spiked a high fever that evening. We are certain it was his exposure to mold in the condo. Yes you can get that sick from an allergic reaction. We closed up the condo and I emailed the owner that we had vacated. A few emails went back and forth. He told me I should have told him that my children had asthma before traveling. What?? He also said he has had complaints of the musty smell and changed the carpets a year ago and bought an air quality machine that usually runs in the condo, but was out for maintenance. If you change the carpets and the musty smell is still there, then you are now covering up the smell trying to use an air quality machine. Again, there was nothing at all that the owner would be able to do to make us stay. We took my soon to a doctor in Waikiki and explained his condition. The very first thing they asked, "Did you leave the condo yet?" After our last email, the owner told me that my son didn't get sick because of the air quality in the condo. He's not a doctor, so that was an unwise statement. If a person isn't allergic to mold, it takes months before it poses a health issue. For someone who is allergic to mold, it is immediate! I never asked for anything back. The owner did give us back a little refund on his own which was our additional person rate, to which I thanked him. I encouraged him to get his condo tested for mold. Our stay was for Sept 28th- Oct 5th. I am now writing this, because I need to let others know about the air quality and perhaps help them not get ill while they stay here. Also, this is not in a great area of Waikiki, which I had no clue that existed. The building its self is extremely run down, the restaurant at the time hasn't had food in over 3 months, and the parking is actually $30 a day not $25.
