Aloha Surf

Aloha Surf is a hotel-condo hybrid in central Waikiki, a 5 to 15 minute walk from the beach, with a front desk, lobby water and ice, and simple studio-style units. It suits budget-minded couples and small families who will be out exploring all day and can live with city noise.

What guests say

Guests love

  • Walk everywhere, bus nearby. Guests walk to restaurants, shops, groceries and a nearby Target, and a bus stop about a block away takes them to Pearl Harbor and Ala Moana.
  • Hotel-style lobby perks. Friendly front desk staff, water, ice and hot water in the lobby, and keyless door codes make coming and going easy.
  • Lanai views over the Ala Wai. Guests in higher units love relaxing on the balcony with views they describe taking in the ocean, the Ala Wai canal and the mountains.

Worth knowing

  • Louvered windows let in noise. Glass-louver windows throughout the building do not block street sound, and several guests found it noisy day and night - light sleepers take note.
  • Window AC can run weak. A few guests in different units found the low-mounted window AC struggled to cool the room; one says keeping blinds closed by day helps.
  • Parking is tight and costly. Guests with cars call parking challenging or pricey, though one found the garage clean and easy to use.
  • Kitchenettes, not kitchens. Units are hotel-style rooms with a microwave and compact fridge but no stove.

★★★★★ August 2026

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Waikiki. The location was fantastic—close to the beach, restaurants, shopping and everything we wanted to do, while still feeling like a great place to relax after a busy day.The unit was clean, comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Check-in was easy, communication with the host was smooth, and everything matched the listing.

Awesome cozy and clean property.The bed configuration with two beds and one large sofa bed is perfect for a family of 4. Host is very responsive and attentive to all our needs. This place is close to everything and walking distance to Waikiki Beach, Shopping, Grocery and restaurants. If you want to explore rest of Honolulu, the Bus stop is also within one block. We explored Pearl Harbor and Ala Moana mall via bus and it was fun. Definitely recommend and will rebook next time I am in Honolulu.

Roy was a fantastic host, he went above and beyond. Hawaii was hit with a pretty disastrous tropical storm, where the power went out a couple times. He went above and beyond to double check on us. He is extremely gracious along with the stay. I will recommend anybody to stay at one of his listings.Because he truly cares about the people staying in his rentals!

My elderly mom and I are extremely satisfied with our stay here. The apartment is in a great location easily accessible to food, shopping, and Waikiki Beach. It was privately owned so we didn't have to deal with lines or checking in or out. And the property manager is so attentive and caring, ensuring our stay was enjoyable. Definitely plan on staying here again.

★★★★★ May 2025

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this Vrbo. The only critiques we have are that the online listing wasn't completely accurate, as there was mention of a Playstation 3 in the room and games for rent in the lobby, neither of which were true. Also, the TV remote was only partially functional and the TV casting was very hit or miss.
