Special Ocean Front-Ocean View Condo with Free Beach Gear

Great condo, awesome view and it includes the best selection of free beach gear in Waikiki (If you use this, it will add up to significant savings. See below for details.)

Also Free Parking. This may change so we cannot guarantee if will be available on your dates, but as of now, we can offer free parking in the condo garage.

One of the best ocean view apartments in Waikiki, ideally located and the best equipped, with everything you will need to have a wonderful vacation.

It has been beautifully remodeled and decorated, with many wonderful island-style furnishings, antiques, art objects and paintings.

Guests love this condo.

The View
Most Waikiki hotel rooms and condos have side ocean views: you need to go out to the lanai to really get the full effect. This condo has fabulous ocean views from moment you enter the front door and from every room! (Please see the photos)

This is a rare unit where you can sit on the living room couch, watch TV and also watch the surfers at the famous Ala Moana surfing spots and boats going by.

In the bedroom, whether sitting up in bed, lounging in the bedroom window seat, or writing a letter at the lagoon-view desk, the view is magnificent.

To the left, you can watch the beach goers, kayakers, and stand up paddle boarders at the Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon. To the right, is Ala Moana Beach Park. Looking up the coast, you can see all 4 Honolulu marinas and harbors, with sail boats and ships going to and fro, and enjoy fantastic sunsets.

And be sure to catch the torch lighting ceremony every evening at sunset along the Ilikai walkway to the beach and the fireworks over the lagoon, every Friday at 7:45 p.m. after the sailboat races. You can see them right from your lanai.

The Condo
This is a spacious, 679 sq. ft., 1 bedroom condo, complete with a full kitchen.

If you value a high floor location, with almost 180 degree ocean view, artistic island decor and lots of kitchen and beach equipment, you will agree that this is the best condo in the Ilikai Marina Building and one of the best in Waikiki.

Living Room
has a comfy leather couch, which makes into a queen-sized bed, and 2 additional chairs with ottomans. There is also an artistic chest and coffee table.

There is a big-screen, smart TV, with cable and internet, and a DVD player.

The Kitchen
is fully equipped with full size appliances: side by side fridge with filtered water & ice in the door, microwave, oven/range with flat glass cooktop, custom, deep stainless steel kitchen sink and even a dishwasher.

There are also several small appliances: blender, rice cooker, crock pot, toaster, stand mixer with dough hooks, griller, drip, French press and espresso coffee makers and a tea kettle.

There are plenty of pots, pans, bowls, tableware and silverware, including an Emerilware stainless and copper cook set, and even a picnic basket including plates, cups and utensils.

Dining Room
A lovely, hand carved teak dining set with room for 4, with everything you need to set a nice table.

Be sure to check out the shelves with numerous guide books and even a ukulele!

Bedroom
has a sliding door and can be completely closed off from the living room. This is a big advantage over a typical hotel room or studio condo. (Note: some condos in Waikiki are listed as 1 bedroom, but are actually studios with no separate sleeping area.)

The bedroom is fully furnished, including king-sized Weston Resorts Heavenly Bed, 2 night stands, a chest of drawers and 2 closets.

There are high thread count linens. We have both down pillows, and down alternatives, and a memory foam bed topper, if you would prefer it to the feather bed topper, or if you're like us, use both toppers.

There is also a unique window seat, antique, writing desk and entertainment unit with TV, radio, CD player, tape player and even a phonograph.

Bathroom
is a work of art you can enjoy from the inside. A mix of bronze, copper, stone, jade, teak, koa, bamboo and porcelain all went into making this bathroom a unique experience.

A rainforest marble slab was used to surround the custom tiled deep soaking tub.

There are 3 shower heads, rainfall, handheld and wall shower making luxurious bathing, with room for you and a friend.

Of course, there are lots of towels, basic toiletries and a hair dryer.

By the way, you can access the bathroom from a short hallway from either the living room or the bedroom. You do not need to intrude on the other sleeping area.

Other Features
A central AC system in this building, which provides very efficient, quiet cooling for this unit, without noisy fans or compressor units.

An ironing board and iron are in the closet, and there is a full card operated laundromat on the 8th floor.

Entertainment and Communications
42” big screen, smart TV.
Free, 4G Wi Fi
Second 22” TV in the bedroom.

Stereo, with radio, CD and tape player and even a phonograph player.

Beach Equipment
Just bring a T shirt, shorts and sandals.....
everything you will need to enjoy a wonderful vacation has been provided.
There are great beach toys for your use.

2 - two-person inflatable kayaks.
1 Inflatable stand up paddle /board.
2 Air mattresses and other floats.
2 Boogie boards.
Snorkel equipment for 4 plus 2 extra masks for the optically challenged.

2 coolers with wheels and luggage handles.

Picnic basket
Games/balls: bocce ball, and other assorted beach games.

6 beach chair lounges with footrests.
Beach towels.
Umbrella.
10’ by 10’ shade canopy.
Hammock.

Wagon and a magna cart to make everything easy to get to the beach.

The Ilikai Marina Building
is part of the famous Ilikai complex built by the legendary Chinn Ho and featured in both the original and new Hawaii Five-0 TV series. (In fact, one of the central characters in that series is named Chinn Ho in honor of this builder.)

You can still sometimes see the Hawaii Five-0 film crew in action, out at the point by the lagoon, or at one of the Ilikai buildings.

There is 24 hour security and video cameras on all floors.

There is a self-parking garage attached to this building with 24-hour access.

This is not a resort property, so there is no pool on-site, but there are 2 great swimming lagoons right nearby.

Location
This unit is on the 13th floor of the building. The small street in front gets very little traffic anyway, but this unit is high enough to get the great view and avoid any traffic noise.

is a relatively quiet location in Waikiki, but convenient to everything; restaurants, shopping, attractions and of course beaches.

The Ilikai Marina is on the edge of Waikiki, so, compared to the congested middle of Waikiki, it is much easier to get out to downtown Honolulu and the other attractions of Oahu.

Beaches and Lagoons
The 2 choicest beaches of Honolulu are right next to you on either side. The Ilikai walkway drops you right on the lagoon at the start of the nicest part of Waikiki Beach.

The lagoon has had a recent, $13 million make-over. The water is refreshed daily and it is surrounded with beach and it has a very shallow sloping entry, making it ideal for swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking and floating.

This is the start of Waikiki Beach. From here, you can walk all the way to Diamondhead. This section, Duke Kahanamoku beach, named after the legendary Hawaiian surfer and swimming champion, has been rated as the best beach in the U.S. in one recent listing.

On the other side is the fantastic Ala Moana Beach Park. it is over 100 acres of grassy play areas, tennis courts, 3 snack bars, public restrooms, shade trees, pristine beaches and a sheltered swimming lagoon.

All that Waikiki and Oahu offers is right at your feet from this incredibly convenient location. It is easy to get where you need to go with a rental car or public transport or tour buses, which stop right nearby.

Restaurants/Bars
Located in the Ilikai Marina building are 4 good restaurants: Chart House, Outback Steakhouse, Red Lobster, and the Harbor Pub (good pizza).

The surrounding area, including the The Modern, the Ilikai Tower, Discovery Bay, the Hilton Hawaiian village and the Prince hotel, have dozens of other restaurants of all types and price ranges.

Shopping
You will be in the center of a shoppers' paradise.

Right across the street is one of the famous ABC stores, with sundries, food and beach items.

Central Waikiki is just a few moments walk to hundreds of shops; from T shirt shops to Saks 5th Avenue. In the other direction, in less than 7 minutes, you are at the Ala Moana mall, one of the biggest outdoor malls in the world, which is both beautiful and diverse.

Activities and Attractions:
There are charter fishing boats and parasailing boats at the Marina right in front of the condo. Surfing is right out front.

The nearest golf course is 2 miles away.

For travels to other attractions, be sure and check out the guide books in the condo. If you want to plan ahead, we recommend the guidebook "Oahu Revealed."

Transportation
There are airport shuttles and tour buses stop within 1 block of the entrance.

We are sure you will love this "home away from home" ocean front condo experience.

Our Hawaii Tax # GE/TA-027-478-0160-01 Please note: Oahu County has implemented a new 3% county transient accommodation tax, this makes the total tax 17.9621% after December 14th, 2021. We will bill you for the extra 3%, as VRBO is not updated with this new rate yet. Mahalo!

Loved the Condo. Very homey feeling. View is absolutely beautiful. Beach is a longer walk than it looks. Not bad for some of us but for my husband that has difficulty, it wasn’t good. Sofa bed is not comfortable at all. Even our 17 year old grandson said it made his back hurt. We bought a queen size air bed and used that instead. Left it for others to use. Would definitely stay again. GREAT communication with the people that run it. Thanks for a nice family vacation.

Great Location
Really enjoyed our stay here - very easy checkin process and room was relatively quiet. Location is great, right next to Hilton lagoon and walking distance to groceries and restaurants. The only thing I would improve upon is the lighting - it is pretty dim and with enduring a week of rain and overcast skies, it was tough to find enough light to read. But overall, would absolutely stay here again!

Vacation in paradise
Starting with the detailed listing you know the hosts really care. Once booked they were extremely responsive, helpful, and friendly leading up to the stay. The condo did not disappoint - my wife and I got the king bed while our 11 & 14 year old kids figured out the living room. The shower water pressure was amazing, included washer and drier was convenient. The views were outstanding, even the location was great. This is a top pick, one we would love to visit again.

Very nice and helpful hosts, easy to get in contact. Best vacation ever.

Great location with incredible views. Very nice condo with plenty of amenities. Free parking was a huge plus. The area was very nice…Close to the action without being chaotic. Bed was overly soft for us, but we managed. Elevators were slow because only one of two were working. The shower was wonderful. Overall a great experience on this 13th floor unit.

paradise on Waikiki
This property is amazing! The unit is decorated with lots of fun beach/ocean decor and equipped with most anything you could possibly want or need. The kitchen is updated with great appliances and the water and ice on the refrigerator door was a huge plus! The furniture was comfortable and the bed was amazing! We went to bed and woke up to amazing views each day. The owners have gone to great effort to detail everything in the unit, including owners manuals and information about everything you could want to know, some of this information is outdated such as the parking pass and contact phone numbers but we discovered that the building security was a great resource helping with the lock system and other minor questions. We celebrated our 30th anniversary during our stay and would return in a heartbeat! Rating this a 10/10

Aloha Paradise
Property is comfortable, well appointed and charming. We were confused at first when entering the property and found a charging cellphone but no parking pass, until a quick check with the owners clarified the cell WAS the parking pass! Additionally I was thinking we would have to get in our car to go to the beach, until I realized we could easily access the beach using the bridge on the 2nd floor connecting the property to the adjacent property “The Modern”. The beach wagon easily fit all the chairs, body boards and other items we required to enjoy our beach time! The master bed may look lumpy but is very comfortable as is the fold out couch bed (the couch itself not so comfortable). The bathroom is well stocked with 2 different kinds of shampoo and conditioners, 2 hair dryers and many other necessities. The water pressure in the shower was wonderful EVEN WHEN the washing machine was running! We ate out most days so we didn’t get a chance to use the kitchen much, but it seemed well stocked. We were able to see a good size manta ray right in the marina from the balcony and swam with turtles right off the beach behind the Modern. A great time was had by all!
