Ocean & Diamond Head View Studio at Waikiki

Excellent location, nice and central in Waikiki and not too far from anything, yet away from the busiest and most touristy parts. The views are amazing from this top floor. You're higher than any other building in Waikiki, and there isn't a tall building directly across from the Island Colony to obscure any of the stunning vista. Some ocean view, great views of Honolulu and the mountains. Excellent to watch the Friday fireworks! Sunsets and night scene also a plus. Having the pool deck with cabanas and sun chairs, nice big hot tub, sauna, ample high quality BBQs, laundry facilities, etc. was awesome. It would be nice if the pool/hot tub area was open until 10pm, but 9pm isn't a deal breaker. Facilities were nice and clean as well. Some items could be added to the room's supplies, but overall it was well equipped and checked most, if not all, of the boxes. We would stay here again if we ever found ourselves back in Waikiki.

No towels for pool a real oversight

Overall great experience. A bit tight but managed with partner and 10 yr old daughter. A few suggestions, would be nice to include overnight parking at garage w stay, especially being here over a week-added up. Too many interruptions during stay w services-fire alarm test, water outage, garage shoot backed up and filter checks. A/C unit a bit weak, doesnt cool enough. Had to buy batteries for tv remotes since dead. Beach walk is a bit further than noted. More like 20mins walking to usable beach areas. Otherwise was pleasant stay and amazing views especially during sunset. We made it work, thank you!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I were very pleased with the location and unit accommodations. We were only minutes from Waikiki beach, shopping and great dining options. The view was incredible but sadly the city lights faded out our star gazing. Not as quiet as we would have hoped for - sirens, loud exhaust cars / motorcycles. Ah, city life.The unit was very clean and supplied w/ most everything one would need in the kitchen & bathroom. Padio furniture was in great shape - to include a drying rack. We did notice the following items requiring maintenance: 1. Bathtub was cracked from soap dish to tub plus depending on the time of day the shower water temp madly fluctuated hot to cold. 2. Bathroom sink hot water handle leaks when turned on plus very low pressure - dribble, not a stream. 3. DVD player drawer would not slide out to receive a DVD. 4. The sofa mattress is terrible and needs replacing - felt every cross bar. However, the building had a clean laundry room, good size pool & hot tub, very nice gym, and a great breakfast/lunch dining option on the first floor.Great on-site building staff and Lei Hawaii Realty was very helpful in helping to set up our stay.I would highly recommend this property / unit as long as the maintenance items are corrected.International marketplace was super. Dole plantation was fun especially the soft-serve pineapple ice-cream. Also highly recommend booking a luau w/ TOA Luau. It was the most enjoyable and entertaining luau I've ever experienced. Top notch staff, food, performers and venue.I hope your vacation to Honolulu is just a nice as ours. Aloha

It was great and very convenient I just wish the parking wasn’t so expensive

It was a good stay overall checked all the boxes: view, amenities and closeness to the beach! It was missing a few items like sponge, coffee filter, kitchen towel and property manager could show more aloha welcome. I had to ask for access information the night before check in.

We booked this beautiful penthouse suite for 5 nights and we were not disappointed. The apartment was extremely clean and tidy and balcony offered amazing views of Waikiki and Honolulu. Check in was a very simple process as was check out. Pool area was nice and very clean. Would absolutely recommend

The property and room are both dated but clean and a few things have been slightly updated. The very small bathroom isn’t very user friendly. Sink tap barely let water through. Had to use the kitchenette sink. We only stayed 2 nights so it was fine for the duration. Location is great. Walking distance to shopping and restaurants.

The property was not properly cleaned because the floor was sandy and dirty and bath tub was filthy. Air conditioner was noisy. The location is convenient and close to shopping plazas, restaurants, Waikiki beach, transportation etc. The view is spectacular which was the prime reason why I chose this property.

Everything was wonderful but I felt like the. Pictures were misleading. Clean but very dated and in dire need of remodeling

The location is perfect. You can walk to Waikīkī beach. The view of the apartment is amazing. Although the furniture is old, is fair enough for the price we paid. The apartment had everything we expected for our vacation and we even extended our stay. I will definitely come back

Great location, fantastic view. Not 5 star and not really a penthouse per se, but a super little condo for a stay in Waikiki.

Had an amazing stay here. Took a last minute solo trip to Hawaii and loved the location. View was breath taking. I cried leaving!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Penthouse at the Island Colony! Great views, great location and comfy new beds! Liked the full size refrigerator as well! Hope to stay here again! Mahalo!!

Despite the noisey air conditioer and the shower designed for people shorter than 6'4" the view made up for all that...

Accurately described with comfortable mattress. We slept well. The shower was somewhat temperamental - turn both taps down to stop it cycling between scolding hot and stone cold. Well equipped kitchen.

Wonderful location and very easy to commuicate with host and any on site staff. Also very safe and friendly atmosphere.

Property owner and hotel reception totally unrelated and reception are a key issuing service and most unhelpful. Arrived 9am after overnight flight but no record of booking passed on and i tried eventually reception tried but host not answering phone so reception refused to hold luggage till 3pm so we had to leave elsewhere . Property Ok but 2nd and 3rd night waft of cannabis smoke on balcony from other occupants close by TV was bust view was not great as on side of building would stay in hotel next time most unhelpful host / reception both tried blaming each other .

It was a good stay overall checked all the boxes: view, amenities and closeness to the beach! It was missing a few items like sponge, coffee filter, kitchen towel and property manager could show more aloha welcome. I had to ask for access information the night before check in.

Check in was a very simple process as was check out. Pool area was nice and very clean. Would absolutely recommend

Great spot on a nice easily accessed property. We had an issue with our Wi-Fi during our stay, and the owner was responsive and worked with us to help. We enjoyed our daily walk to the Royal Hawaiian (pink) Hotel for a swim and a mai-tai. Will certainly stay there again!

Thinking of reserving the same property next year. A great deal and a great host.

The studio is in a great location and near ao many things to do with a short walk.

Enjoyed our stay here… good location and close to everything…

Close to the beach and lots of shops/restaurant. Would stay here again.

Nice location within walking distance of the many things to do in Waikiki. Studio has a wonderful view of the city, ocean and sunset.
