About this property

Colony Surf Oceanfront Gem On Diamond Head Gold Coast

Right on the sand! One wall is all windows looking out on the ocean, and a second wall is mirrored so it reflects the ocean, making you feel you’re on a boat with vast horizons. Private sandy beach for swimming, snorkeling, and paddling. You’ll see turtles & tropical fish, and sometimes a seal on the sand. This is one of the rare units in the Colony Surf that has an extra nook with 2 twin beds, so it can sleep four or accommodate guests. Kitchen has 4 gas burners, oven, George Foreman grill, dishwasher and new refrigerator. Great washer/dryer. Comes with one assigned parking stall. And it’s equipped with beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkeling equipment.
An architecture student who stayed here wrote: "The main space was breathtaking: 180 degrees of ocean, with a cozy bench running the length of the windows. If you've never seen the ocean from 11 stories up, there is nothing like it. You can watch a single wave 400 feet away roll in, almost standing still, the whole thing like a slow moving painting. The furniture is simple,1960s modern, and the systems function well."
Building is across from Kapiolani park, a five minute drive to Kahala, and a 15 minute walk to Waikiki. And it has 24-hour lobby staff.

Great views & location, condition was poor

Ashley, the prop manager was prompt upon check in and courteous. The unit location is perfect and you can't beat the view for city living. The condition of the place is poor - kitchen appliances were old and not cleaned, walls were scraped with black marks, countertops were stained, drawers were cracked and some couldn't close well, towels were shredding, bed spread had a large hole in it and the floor fan that was in the condo when we arrived was covered in thick dust as were the corner areas where the TV chords gathered. I sent Ashley photos of all the above right away. She did take care of the fan the next day and replaced a new one. She credited me a small amount for the cleaning I did myself as I couldn't use the kitchen from the uncleaned grease and stains. I appreciate that it's probably the owners that made that credit decision and not her. Pros - besides and view, it's nice that they had beach chairs, towels and boogie boards to use if you need them. I hesitated leaving this review because I don't like leaving anything negative but if I had known the condition from a prior review before I booked, I wouldn't have. However we did love the beach right below and made the best of our stay. We enjoyed our trip overall. Parking is included which is great. As long as you are aware before booking, you will still enjoy it because of the other great attributes of the rental.

Paradise in Honolulu

What a fabulous location--oceanfront and close to all the action of Waikiki. We could see sea turtles and the endangered monk seal from our unit. We stay at the Moana Surfrider several times a year, but combined family, business, and R & R with stay at Colony Surf. The wifi worked great and the unit had plenty of linens, beach toys and chairs for our visits around the island. We hope to return again! Mahalo for a wonderful holiday!

Million dollar view

We had an amazin stay and the unit was exactly what we had hoped for. It’s wonderful to be situated on a quieter beach within walking distance of all Waikiki has to offer. We would absolutely love rent here again in the future.

Heavenly location with all you need!

Wonderfully located and out of the hustle and bustle of central Waikiki, this apartment is a gem! Our family had such a wonderful holiday, we enjoyed the beach right on our doorstep and the waves rolling in each day. Well equipped kitchen for all your cooking needs and such a great view. Light and bright with beautiful sea breezes. Can't wait to come back again some time soon!

Amazing place to stay! Comfortable, clean and just can't get over the view!

Would definitely stay here again. Easy check in and check out. Fantastic location. Loved being able to step right out from the building into a gorgeous sandy beach. The ocean view is beyond amazing. It's definitely the highlight of the place.

Owner is a writer who enjoys coming to the island every year to rejuvenate and enjoy her Gold Coast sanctuary...and escape the cold of Colorado!

Why they chose this property

She purchased this property after years of difficulty booking this unit for her annual stay at the Colony Surf. She finally got the opportunity to make it hers and never have to worry about it already being booked for her dates. She hopes it will be enjoyed my others for the remainder of the year.

What makes this property unique

It would be difficult not to step into this apartment and not fall in love with the soothing, panoramic ocean view. It's so blue, so tranquil, so inviting! The unit has everything you need to comfortable including a full washer/dryer, dishwasher, and parking), extremely spacious, there's room for guests, and it's in a fantastic location- one of the most desired neighborhoods hence the term 'Gold Coast'
