Basic Studio 🏝 1 Block To The Beach! Legally Zoned

DrewRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Very close to the beach like literally two minute walk, musubi Café right around the corner, marugame couple blocks away, very close to the strip the end of the strip. Will definitely try rent here again. Parking is a bitch, but I park at the canal every day. Don’t forget to move your car Monday and Friday. There’s no parking right outside of the building but you can stop there for a little bit and if you do get a ticket it’s only $35 might not be a bad option. lol

16 FREE Parking/Ocean 1b Waikiki

JohnRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Unit was as-described…no surprises. Good/fast WiFi (but directions on the AirBnB page for connecting are outdated, but we figured it out after a few minutes). Getting the parking key-card on arrival and returning it on check out could be difficult if you are alone as the front of hotel is busy and not always someplace to park or sit the car while retrieving/returning the pass; with 2+ people, at least one person can tend to the car and/or ‘go around the block’ if needed while waiting.

Place was great and so was the host, always quick to respond and provide you with whatever you needed. Location was very calm and easy to get to the beach and/or other common attractions.

Kailua Beach Park - 1 BR Cottage

AndyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Wow. This spot is the perfect location for three beaches: Kailua, Kalama, and Lanikai. Each one offers amazing views and sandy areas. You can do some snorkeling at Kailua or Lanikai. The Lanikai Pillbox Trail is a good one. The cottage had everything that I could need. The beach towel, cooler, and laundry were particularly valuable amenities for me. Thank you!

5b2ba historical place w/no st.lights&no neighbors

VicenteRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Truly a secluded place with little to no neighbors and large enough for my family of Seven. Beautiful lighting especially at night. Hardly no AC needed as quiet as it was, could leave the windows completely open and with a fan. Kitchen needs a little more amenities for a full Airbnb experience, but provided enough to get by. Neighborhood was quiet. I think we made the most ruckus, but truly a nice little home away from home. A little further away than we anticipated from the bigger cities but easily manageable with a rental. Close to Disneys Aulani and 4 seasons!

Lanikai Ohana Hale: Tropical Cottage w/Pool, Lanai

KelseyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved this place! It was definitely one of the more reasonable cost rentals in the Lanikai neighborhood but it didn’t disappoint. A few things of note: - the appliances are high end KitchenAide and Bosch. The cooktop is a two burner induction that you can put away when not in use. Toaster oven as well. Compact dishwasher and fridge is a one drawer fridge/ one drawer freezer that fits under counter - ample beach towels. Also beach chairs and umbrellas. - the pool was wonderful - less than 10 min walk to Lanikai Beach - do the pillbox hike up the ridge behind you if you want a good workout! We loved our week here. Always planned to cook out on the Weber grill but didn’t end up doing so. The patio was awesome at the end of each day and for morning coffee. Neighborhood was safe. Met the pest control guy and the pool guy while we were here- both really friendly. Would definitely choose this place again.

This was a great place to stay. Others had mentioned the airplane noise but we slept perfectly without a bother. The patio was enjoyable to sit and relax. If I could request anything it would be a washer and dryer, but other than that it was good. Very friendly and was helpful.

If you need a nice workstation with a fantastic view, look no further. This place couldn't be more conveniently, if you wish to travel around the island, but also want easy access to Waikiki. The car rentals from the lobby were super convenient also.

Affordable Luxury in Waikiki

AngelRating, 5 stars10 months ago
We had an amazing stay. Our host, Matthew was everything we needed. I reached out to him several times to ask him lots of questions before the trip and he was very prompt & willing to get the answers. It really helped us a lot. I was very relaxed coming just because he gave us such detailed information. We came from 12 hours away so I was nervous on what to expect. The check in was easy and that was a plus since we arrived so late and we were very tired. The place was very clean & matched the description from online. It was the perfect location to the beach , shops, and restaurants. We loved that everything was in waking distance. We would love to stay here again for our next visit to Waikiki.

We had a wonderful time at Murial’s villa. The villa is much more spacious, brighter, and more comfortable than it appears in the Airbnb photos — the pictures really don't do it justice! We didn’t feel rushed at all; it was perfectly relaxing to stay at Murial’s villa. Communication with Murial was excellent, and the instructions were very clear. We truly appreciate everything. Thank you, Murial!

Rare Penthouse in Waikiki w/ huge private lanai!

JacorieaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I had an amazing stay at this beautiful penthouse in Waikiki! The space was immaculate. It was clean clean, modern, and thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip. The location couldn’t have been more perfect as it was just steps away from the beach, restaurants, shops, and everything Waikiki has to offer. Waking up to the stunning views every morning was truly a dream. This penthouse made our vacation even more memorable, and I would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Your guide to Honolulu

All About Honolulu

As Hawaii’s state capital, the largest city across the islands, and the most remote major city in the world, Honolulu has long been the most famous and popular gateway into the Hawaiian experience. With a population of nearly 1 million residents, Honolulu thrums with diversity and energy, and a lush surrounding landscape and gentle aquamarine shores frame its populous high-rise skyline.

Blessed with a beautiful and swimmable beachfront — Honolulu means "calm port" in Hawaiian — visitors will have a wealth of oceanfront activities to choose from, whether it’s snorkeling in nearby Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve or strolling across Waikiki Beach in the shadow of the city’s most luxurious resorts, or stand-up paddleboarding under the warm glow of a Oahu sunset.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Honolulu

Chances are you’ll never need anything more than a light sweater or jacket to stay warm in Honolulu, where average temperatures typically hover between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Warm and dry summer weather extends from April through November. The island’s pleasant trade winds cause temperatures to fall only modestly between December and March.


Top things to do in Honolulu

Diamond Head State Monument

The hike up to the 300,000-year-old volcanic Diamond Head Crater would be arduous if the trek wasn’t so breathtakingly beautiful along the way. The reward for those tired legs is a stunning view of Honolulu and the glistening Pacific below that deserves numerous photos for posterity. Just be sure to arrive early to avoid the wave of crowds, bring cash for the walk-in entry fee, and wear a hat and bring water for the hike up.

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve

Those hoping to escape from highly developed Waikiki Beach should make their way southeast along the East Honolulu coast. A sheltered and tranquil bay awaits, offering some of the best snorkeling on the island for beginners. Just note: Getting down to the reef requires a 10-minute descent by a steep trail, and there’s a small admission fee (those with disabilities can take a bus down for a smaller fee).

Honolulu Chinatown

If you want to immerse yourself in the scene where Honolulu locals dine, shop, and celebrate, head over to the city's Chinatown district. Many of the best new restaurants helmed by young Hawaiian talent are based in this section of Honolulu, packed with Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese markets and shops. The Maunakea Marketplace food court is recommended for a snack or meal, and numerous galleries and local boutiques further flavor the neighborhood.
