A comfortable affordable little bungalow right at the foot of Diamond Head. Great location for views of the beaches and mountains without being right in the crowds of Waikiki. Our only issue was that we couldn’t get in the water due mostly to our age. Perfect place for those under 65.

Well supplied vacation condo close and convenient to Waikiki and Diamond Head. Had all the amenities needed to support a great relaxing island getaway. Would stay there again.

Awesome stay! Place was perfect and as advertised. Jan was a fantastic host and super responsive. Everything was thought out and perfect. Literally steps off the ocean and had the correct amenities. Glad we found this listing.

This older unit is across from park. Difficult street parking, rec paying for parking. The beach in front of unit rocky and hard to access but San Soucii Beach is a couple blocks away. No grocery nearby but small convenience store 1 block. The unit has a small refrigerator, coffee pot , toaster, microwave. An electric skillet is the cookware. Diswashing is in bathroom sink which drains sluggishly Hard to really cook a meal there, kind of like college style cookIng setup.

We were very pleased with our stay. There was a flood upstair from us but it was dealt with and Jan was great at communicating. We absolutely loved the the location as it was a great way to get away from the crowded strip of Waikiki proper. It was a perfect 1 mile walk which we enjoyed doing in the morning for coffee and breakfast. The small neighborhood near us was adorable and unlike anything we saw while driving around. We had a car for 4 days (which I highly recommend if you want to explore the whole island) and did not have a problem finding parking out front. Jan had everything we needed in storage to snorkel and chairs plus umbrella for the beach.

Great location, and the ocean-facing lanai was wonderful. Microwave didn't work. The kitchen was pretty poorly equipped. No bedspread or duvet of any kind on bed in second bedroom. Hangers were a pain to use--they don't come off the clothing rod. No privacy because window coverings are all sheer to semi-sheer and there are other condos right next door. The one bathroom was adequate pretty small. In general, a dated property that could really use a number of upgrades to make it more comfortable.

All was great except the check in process. The only room recommendation is maybe some darker/blackout shades as the room is very bright in the morning.

Overall this is a two star room in a two star hotel. Best feature is the location and neighborhood with access to park, beaches and walkable dining. The place was very clean and had no bugs. Great ocean breezes, but plenty of street noise and neighboring condo lighting with open windows. Only place we have ever stayed that provided eye masks and earplugs on the night stands.Our experience with the rental agency and their automated booking system was horrible! They withheld our check in information until just hours before checking in after we had paid in full weeks before and completed their boarding pass process well in advance. They spoiled all of our anticipation and excitement for a lifetime trip accusing us of an invalid signature on our rental agreement that they had previously accepted and returned to us. We wouldn’t consider booking through them again.

The Diamond Head Beach property was a wonderful place to stay! It was roomy with plenty of places to relax and enjoy the gorgeous views of both Diamond Head and the ocean including a private lanai. This studio is very clean and well kept. The host, Mark was easy to contact, responsive and very pleasant! I've now found my go-to place. One piece of advice is it might be worth paying to park as there were times available parking was very far away, especially on the weekend.

My friends and I called this place a non-hotel, hotel. Safe, secure, clean, the property was exactly as pictured. The property has a great outside communal space with tables and a grassy area that overlooks the ocean.

We stayed in this building along with other friends. Group of 10, with 5 condos rented. It was nice to be able to sit in the community patio and grassy area as a group with an ocean view. We would all bring down our food and beverages in mornings and evenings. This allowed us hang out as a group without being in a restaurant. Building has everything needed for a nice stay. All units were clean and the response from property management was outstanding. It was great that everyone in my party could fine a room style that suited them and their budgets. We prefer this side of Waikiki so can get away from the noise and hustle in Waikiki proper. About the unit, giving 3 starts overall because the blinds really need to go. It's impossible to open the blinds and with them down all the time, I felt like I was living in a cage. Just like the photo shows, so I knew to expect those blinds, but it took me a couple days to get used to the experience. The blinds make it almost impossible to open the slider for a breeze. Everyone in my party agreed they would stay in this building again. I would consider a different condo, but this one is good enough. Higher the better, otherwise you'll be looking at roofs, but this is reflected in the price.

This was our third time staying at this property, our first time in this unit. We enjoyed it immensely! The ocean views are spectacular and the unit is well-appointed and comfortable. The location on S Shore is simply the best!

Location was perfect just outside of Waikiki. Used Kaimana as our home beach for kids. Rented a car a few days from rental on southside of Waikiki. Short walk there, bus back. Nice to be outside of Waikiki traffic when driving to other parts of island. Nicely equipped condo. AC a bit noisy, but not big issue.

We had a great time at Diamond Head Beach. Great views from the balcony and the property patio area. The traffic was a little noisy at times, but nothing excessive - Waikiki is a busy place! We appreciated the toaster, hot plate, and coffee maker for light breakfast prep. I highly recommend this property if staying in Honolulu for a few days.

The condo unit was accurately described and very clean. Jan provided everything needed for a 10 day stay. She pays attention to detail! The property is also safe with easy access to the main area of Waikiki. Easy access to many places using Uber. There are good restaurants within walking distance and a large park across the street. Beautiful views out each side of the room. I can recommend this property.

Perfect spot!! We were there during the storm & it would have been really nice if the water would get hot, it only got warm! The onsite property manager was great. The booking manager was unresponsive or took a long time to respond and when he responded - he did not address our specific questions. Very frustrating. We will be back. Thank you!

The property was conveniently located within walking distance of restaurants and stores and the beach. Nice place. Clean. The best place to watch sunsets from your lanai.

The spacious, clean, and well-appointed suite met our needs perfectly. The location was superb. It was a treat to be able to walk out the door and step into the ocean where tropical fish and sea turtles swam.

we had a TV that did not work even when they replaced its so without communication the whole time we were there during the storm we were in our room from 8 am until 5 pm mopping up water from under the door spent way to much time trying to get the TV to work and it never did the manager was helpful (front desk) but still couldn't fix it. we have been staying at the DHBH since 1977 so were very disappointed

Difficult access for mobility challenges. Parking. Arrived to property, difficulty accessing lock box, finally able to obtain key/parking FOB. Parking in garage very tight,even for small car. Park nearby. Beach down street, walking distance. For more able, walking to town accessible. For our needs, unit was challenging r/t Microwave in upboard above fridge - had to use step stool (very small), danger for those with balance and mobility issues. Possibly for anyone getting hot food/drinks out. TV was difficult, no instruction on site - kept getting "no signal". Have to say, value for this unit based on viewing unit next door lacked for appeal for homey to feel and better ammenities. People in general living/staying were very friendly. Security on duty at night.

We loved staying in this area. It's next to the park and the ocean. Quiet for Waikiki and a little secluded. Enjoyed waking up the to sound of the fountain each morning. The T.V. in the room was complicated to figure out and didn't get local stations other than prerecorded local news. Maybe add an antenna to the T.V.? Just a suggestion. Husband was bummed he couldn't watch football on network T.V.

Beautiful 12th floor view from this 1 bedroom apartment. About a 15 walk from Waikiki, with good snorkeling in front of the building itself. The apartment was clean, comfort and quiet, although the bedroom A/C unit was a little noisy. We'd stay here again.

This was our THIRD stay at Jan’s penthouse, and we love it there. For us, it’s all about the awesome views and quiet location. Our favorites are waking up to the sunrises that can be seen easily from the room, and ending the day in the lovely lawn enjoying the sunsets. Jan is a wonderful host providing so many extra perks like giving us plenty of coffee and bottled water for our two week stay. Having Tide available for doing laundry was truly appreciated as well. Jan will take good care of you so don’t hesitate to stay, you will love it here! !

Location was amazing - three of us spent 9 days here - the building itself is quite old the condo could use a little more utensils - frying pan and spatula would be awesome - but it was a quite place we quickly grew to enjoy coming back to every day - snorkeling in your backyard and hunting for sea glass - great stay!!

We loved the location, the cleanliness and view from the lanai in the condo. However we were very surprised to find out that you had to go through one bedroom to get to the other bedroom. Not at all private when there are 2 couples staying together. Had to go to the bathroom to change clothes. This was not included in the description, which it needs to be!

We had a very nice day. It was a little walk to get to Waikiki, but it helped keep us in shape. A little bit away from the hustle and bustle and very close to Diamondhead Pickleball courts, which was appealing to us.

The condo was exceptionally clean and comfortable. There were treats greeting us, as well as water, which was very welcoming. It is in a great location that is easily walkable to Waikiki. The pictures are accurate and we had a very enjoyable stay. Despite spending most of our visit outside of the condo, it was a welcoming reprieve when we got back each night! We highly recommend this VRBO and we hope to come back and stay here again soon!

Older, low budget unit. That said, it fit our needs, was clean, staff/ owner are great and they have everything you'd need for your stay in the room. Technically Parking is available, but isnt real close and is at times hard to come by.

Location and view were fantastic. Indoor furniture is dated and uncomfortable should have a nicer at least comfortable couch for price… Also patio needs the couch pulled out and a good sweep….Biggest challenge was lack of basic supplies to keep the kitchen clean for ourselves and the next guests…kitchen was not very well equipped we were left two dishwasher pods for a ten day stay making keeping the dishes clean a challenge we were left a quarter small container of dish soap meaning the dishes and pots were not easy to keep clean and were left three small kitchen garbage bags

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo! The location was perfect for us with lovely ocean views & easy travel to everything we wanted to do in Waikiki. The added parking option was a bonus! The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils & appliances we needed for meal prep. It was easy to contact the management team & they had prompt response time. We would definitely book here again!

This was the perfect waterfront apartment, not too mixed into the chaos of the heart of Waikiki but easily accessible just down the road! The beds were so comfortable, and we really loved taking just a few steps outside to be on the beautiful beach.

We had an absolute terrible experience at that location. We will never use the services again due to our experience.When we arrived, they told us the room was ready to check in when we open the door. The place was an absolute disaster and had not been cleaned yet! We had to leave and come back over an hour later. The property manager was absolutely rude, inconsiderate. We will probably never use these services again to do to this experience.

I had a great time here! Struggling with finding the lockbox in the beginning was about the only main issue! Lana was wonderful in her responsiveness to things I needed help with such as a clogged bathtub drain. Polite, professional and, so kind! I was here for the Honolulu Merrie Mile and Start to Park 10k. I felt as if I was in a great location for all of the activities I was interested in. The Lanai area on the bottom level was great! Close to the water to hear the ocean and plenty of places to lay out and tan when not swimming. I would book this room again in the future!!!
