About this property

2Bed/2Bath Penthouse Ocean/Diamond Head views, near Convention Center

You'll be sitting on top of the world at this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath Penthouse with an open living room and fully-equipped kitchen.

The jaw-dropping 270-degree view includes Diamond Head, sweeping ocean view, Ala Wai Canal, Ala Wai golf course, Ft DeRussy park, the beautiful Koolau Mountain range, sunrises AND sunsets!

The penthouse is excellent for families and friends; less expensive than a hotel, has a full kitchen, and at over 1000 square feet (large by Waikiki standards), the penthouse will comfortably sleep 6. The ocean-side primary bedroom has a king bed, the Diamond Head-side primary bedroom has two full beds, and the living room has a new high-quality Queen sofa bed. In addition, we have a crib available at no charge. The bedrooms, living/dining room and kitchen all have spectacular views. Every Friday night, you can watch the fireworks launched from the nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village, and on special occasions, you'll see a bigger show on Waikiki Beach.

You'll have a fully equipped kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, blender, coffee pot and grinder, pots and pans, silverware and just about anything else you need. To top it off, the kitchen has a panoramic ocean view!

One bathroom features a Japanese-style deep bathtub (furo) with a shower. The second bathroom has a walk-in shower. You'll also have your own washer and dryer in the penthouse.
A supply cabinet contains beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels and assorted beach items.

You'll enjoy the huge recreation deck with large swimming pool, hot tub, barbecue grills, picnic tables and lounge chairs. There are no resort fees to use these facilities. Also on site is a new fitness center which is ALMOST free: it only costs $5 for your entire stay (not per day!).

There is a large flat-screen TV with cable service and Roku. The free high-speed WIFI is your private network, not shared with other units, and is powerful enough for the whole family to share their vacation experience.

The Hawaii Convention Center is within walking distance, as are the Hilton Hawaiian Village and other venues where conventions are held. If you must do business while in Waikiki there is a desk in one of the bedrooms and also a nook in the dining area.

The Hawaiian Monarch is a mixture of hotel-owned and privately-owned units. There are only three other penthouses on the same floor. Four elevators provide access. Our penthouse is privately owned, managed, and maintained; it is not part of the hotel pool.

Parking is available in the onsite parking garage. The garage is privately owned and the rate at the time of this writing is $40/day with full in and out privileges. Parking is not included in the rent as most of our guests do not rent a car. The penthouse has a Walk Score of 92 (out of 100). Some guests rent a car for a day of exploring from one of the nearby car rental companies. Turo is available for car rentals, too.

Within walking distance are many restaurants and shopping, including Ala Moana Shopping Center, resorts, grocery and convenience stores, music venues, sports bar, post office, green parks, Waikiki Beach Walk, and of course, Waikiki Beach itself!

Waikiki and the surrounding area have a gazillion things to do. Of course, there is the world's most famous beach. Many water sports are available, including surfing, paddle boarding, boogie boarding, snorkeling, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, parasailing and more. There is shopping for everything from souvenir trinkets to high-end luxury stores and everything in between.

Hear world-class music at many resorts, such as Blue Note Jazz Club, the Waikiki Shell, the Blaisdell Arena, and local musicians playing rock, jazz, and, of course, the soothing sound of Hawaiian music.

Honolulu has an extensive public bus system and a bus stop across the street from the penthouse. Buses reach many areas over the island, including major destinations such as Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Chinatown, Honolulu Airport, Honolulu Zoo, The Aquarium and others.

In addition to all these visitor attractions, something else makes it worth coming to Hawaii: the Hawaiian culture. Aloha is a real thing, not just a buzzword. You'll know it when you experience it. We encourage you to learn about the culture and history via the many museums and personally connect with Hawaiian people.

Our local weather person likes to say we have 'the best weather on the planet'. Is it cold where you are? Come to Waikiki and warm up! Are you suffering from unbearable heat and humidity? Come to Waikiki and cool off! Our average daily temperature is low to mid-80s F/ 27 C all year.

This is a legal vacation rental property managed by a licensed real estate broker with over 20 years of experience with Hawaii vacation rentals. You won't have to worry if your rental will be there when you arrive.

Please see the Amenities section for more details.

Great views, clean and pleasant apartment.

We had a wonderful two weeks with our adult stepdaughter—plenty of room for the three of us, gorgeous views, lots of Waikiki activities and nearby beach. All the processes and many entertainment opportunities were very clearly laid out. Highly recommended.

Waikiki vacation

My family of four had a wonderful stay. Steve was a fabulous host. This was our first trip to Oahu, and Steve was really great with his communication and sharing information. We loved the location and the view from the penthouse is amazing, as advertised. The PH is close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. We did not rent a car as you can Uber or Lyft anywhere rather quickly. Waikiki is expensive, we reduced our expenses by preparing some meals in the penthouse and enjoying the million dollar view. You can walk to Walmart and Foodland for groceries and supplies. There is also a great food truck court across the street. My adult kids, who are foodies, loved the food trucks. And, the bakery in the complex, Maleko, is a gem. Save room in your suitcase for pineapple coconut jam and chocolate, coconut, peanut butter which can all be purchased at Maleko. If you want high end food and shopping, the PH is 3 to 4 blocks from glitz and glamour.

Family members, two couples, spent five nights here the beginning of February. View was breathtaking when we walked in the door. Windows, windows everywhere! Yet at night and during the heat of the day had plenty of shades and drapes!Pictures show you exactly as it is – kitchen is well stocked and one bathroom has a walk-in shower and The other one has a Japanese bathtub with shower.Very clean condo with good quality sheets and towels, and all the beds were comfortable. Amazing assortment of beach paraphernalia. Beach is about a 10 minute walk. Amazing group of stationary food trucks on the corner across the street that are open daily.There is a wonderful shop in the lobby for morning, coffee, and wonderful pastries…Highly recommend!!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Marcotte

Host profile image
We have owned and managed Hawaii vacation rentals since 1993, welcoming thousands of guests to experience paradise. As a boutique vacation rental and real estate sales company, we focus on a select number of properties to ensure personalized service and exceptional experiences.

Steve, a licensed real estate broker in Hawaii since 1999, brings extensive industry knowledge. Our global travels have given us insight into what makes a stay enjoyable and safe. As property owners ourselves, we understand the nuances of buying, selling, and managing vacation rentals and second homes.

In 1996, we founded A Piece of Paradise on Hawaii Island (The Big Island), managing beautiful homes in the Kapoho area. After selling the company in 2011, we relocated to Honolulu, embarking on a multi-year search for the right properties—and our dedication paid off!

Today, we not only manage our own properties but also help others find their own piece of paradise in Hawaii. Even if you can't live here full-time, owning a home in Hawaii allows you to visit whenever you want, while rental income can help offset costs.

Aloha!
