PRIVATE END-UNIT Condo Suite in Heart of Waikiki, steps from beach, sleeps 4-5*

This is our home-away-from home in the Heart of Waikiki, at the Hawaiian King Condos, and we are proud to offer it to you. We stay here part of the year, so it is very clean and well-maintained.

We did an extensive remodel in 2017. Our new upgrades include:
o New floor tile throughout entire unit

Many guests do not rent a car for Waikiki City driving because of the dense traffic. If renting a car for a day trip to outer island, you can return after hours to the Enterprise Rental car rental lot across the street. (Mention Hawaiian King to get a discount.) Also, you can rent a car from the airport towards the end of your trip, and then return car to airport when catching your outbound flight, and avoid shuttle/taxi fees. The bus is ~$2.50 to the airport to pick up a rental car.

NOTE: There is a small bar in the front of the building, along with a small convenience store. This condo is in the very back, last end unit, farther away from the bar and street noise. We specifically bought this unit because we stay at Hawaiian King, but wanted a secluded and private condo away from the street.

Fantastic condo and location
Peggy and Tim were absolutely wonderful hosts who went out of their way to accommodate our requests, including early check in. The front desk manager, David, was also very helpful and friendly. The location is second to none and so close to great shopping, restaurants and beautiful Waikiki beach. The condo is airy and tastefully redecorated with everything you need. The beach toys, cooler etc were fantastic and great to have access to. Towels a plenty for both beach and bath. Super comfy king size bed and a pull out couch which our kids slept on. Having a washer/dryer in the unit was amazing and so handy for a family of 4. The condo building is very tidy and the pool is cool and clean. We had a great time in Oahu and would definitely stay in Tim and Peggy's lovely condo again .

Family Vacation
It was perfect. Walking distance today the Waikiki beach. Also perfect area of all the best shopping and dining options! We were happy we did not have to drive and deal with parking at the Waikiki shopping center. Would definitely stay here again in our next family vacation!

Why they chose this property

We have traveled to Oahu yearly on vacation since 2005, and have stayed at many hotels up and down Waikiki and on the Island. The Hawaiian King is the largest and closest condo near the beach, and centrally located, that we could find, for an affordable price.

The building is clean and well-maintained and in the center of Waikiki. We stayed a month at Hawaiian King in Sept 2016 before we decided to purchase. Before our stay in 2016, we read many reviews on VRBO about all the units in the building. Most people love this hotel and have been returning year after year! Our stay, the reviews, and the exceptional desk staff sold us on our decision to buy here. There are only 60 total units, with many permanent owners and returning vacationers, so the setting is more like a neighborhood. You recognize your neighbors and make friends. It just doesn't get any better than having the feeling that you live in Hawaii.

Our home is a wonderful spacious end unit, with extra windows, and a 165 sq. foot private lanai. When you stay at the Hawaiian King, it feels just like you live in Hawaii. We have not had that experience at any other hotel, in the 10+ years that we have been traveling to Hawaii.

We love the island cross breeze. Many days we do not even turn on the air conditioner, but just open up the doors and windows and the amazing breeze flows through. One side of the lanai is shaded entirely by large trees. There are many types of birds chirping and cooing and flying about. Out on the lanai, you feel like you are experiencing the best of what Hawaii has always offered, right outside your room -- island trees, amazing cross winds, and many types of birds.

What makes this property unique

This is a large end unit, very light and airy, in the interior of the hotel, in the heart of Waikiki. This unit has a washer/dryer in the unit. We stay here ourselves because it's very affordable and close to everything. It's located on the block that is straight across the street from the new Marketplace. There is a small bar in the front of the building, along with a small convenience store. This condo is in the very back, last unit, farther away from the bar and street noise. We specifically bought this unit because we stay at Hawaiian King, but wanted a secluded and private condo away from the street noise.
