About this property

Great Ocean View/500 Ft to Waikiki Beach. Affordable one bedroom condo w/kitchen

Visits to Hawaii have always been expensive, but each year prices seem to go higher. However, I think if you compare my condo with other options, you will realize it is a good deal. I try to keep the nightly rate about $100 less than what the hotel charges. I want guests to know they are getting a good deal so that they take good care of the condo. I recommend the condo for two guests; there is an extra fee if there are three guests to cover the extra costs.

My Waikiki vacation condo has always been legally registered with the state of Hawaii so no worries about the illegal rentals you may have heard about in Hawaii.

This corner unit in the Pacific Monarch Hotel is on the 20th floor. The views are great and the location of the hotel is in the heart of Waikiki. From the entrance of the hotel it is 500 feet to the sand of Waikiki Beach. I originally got the condo for my parents when they were alive; they very much enjoyed their yearly visits. I myself enjoy the memories and sometimes stay at the condo. Other times, I rent the condo out for others to visit; some guests have been visiting each year for many years. I hope you enjoy your stay if you choose my Waikiki Vacation Condo, but please respect it as a home-away-from-home.

There are many restaurants in the area and the hotel is close to nightlife spots and shopping. The hotel has a recreation room on the top floor with beautiful views of the Ko'olau mountains. The roof-top pool and hot tub also have great views. The common areas of the hotel are neat and clean. You have access to all the amenities of the hotel but you don’t have to pay the hotel’s activity fee. You won’t be able to get beach towels at the front desk but I do have beach towels in the condo. There is free Wi-Fi in the room. A few other minor amenities of the hotel are only for those who pay the amenity fee such as daily newspaper, free shuttle to Ala Moana, beach chairs (there are often some in my condo left by guests), in-room coffee, and free admission to two museums. I bet you can buy those amenities if you wish on your own for a lot less than $25 plus tax per day.

There’s a parking garage attached to the hotel but it’s run by a private company. Anyone (hotel guest or private guest) who parks there needs to pay the $30 per 24 hour time period. There’s a machine that accepts credit cards in the garage

There’s a small but functional kitchen with everything you need to save a little money by eating some of your meals in the condo, all linens and towels are provided. Of course, since it’s offered at such a low price there’s no maid service provided.

The Pacific Monarch is a three-star hotel and NOT right on the beach. There are more luxurious places to stay but A LOT more expensive. I keep the condo very clean but it has more of a home-like feel. I added a new sofa in the living room in November 2023, and I installed new laminate floor in 2020, and new lanai furniture in 2021. All considered, I think that you will enjoy your stay which is my sincere hope.

Bucket list:

We had a stream less check in, keyless entry to floors, security, property owner, Steve, was fantastic, very prompt answering questions. Close to beach, restaurants and shops. I’d definitely recommend this unit. Only downside was ac but that’s not the fault of owner, he is in the process of getting new, it worked just not able to keep up with Hawaii heat. We loved our stay!

The Perfect Location

We stayed a total of 7 nights at this location for our vacation. The places is in the perfect spot to visit all of Waikiki by foot and easy access to the beach. It had everything you needed for longer stays and you were in walking distance for plenty of shops and food. The pictures do you do this place justice and it deserves the high rating it has. Steven also had great communication and check in on us during our stay. 10/10 would recommend and stay again

Wonderful place to hang your swimsuit

We stayed for 10 days in Steve’s 1bedroom condo on the 20th floor. The views out the wall to wall windows are stunning whether it’s sunrise or sunset. Kitchen has all you need. Grocery store just down the block. Roof pool great way to either start or end the day. Fireworks visible from the pool deck. Bbq there too.

Wonderful Stay

We stayed at the property for our honeymoon, and it was the perfect place. The balcony was beautiful to sit out on and watch the sunrise or sunset, and the early surfers hit the waves. It had everything you needed, and the host Steven was great at answering questions and promptly providing suggestions. The property was as listed, and the rooftop pool area was also amazing. The location was perfect for strolling around Waikiki and getting to the beach among other locations. We would definitely recommend this location and try to book here on our next stay.

Nice Getaway

This location is perfect, just t blocks away from the beach well within walking distance. If there was one negative this to say about this property is the AC unit struggled to keep the unit cool during the day when temps went up a bit, however fortunately for us during our stay we had the trade winds that helped to keep the place cool. Other than that the place was wonderful and would definitely return!! Mahalo Steve!!

In the future won’t stay anywhere else! Very clean condo with huge lanai and panoramic views (ocean out every window)! Condo has a great layout and is perfect for 1-2 people- a new couch/ futon was comfortable for sleeping. Owner Steve was in regular contact with us making sure everything was as expected.

Great condo with great view

This was a nice clean condo with a great view. Even though the building is back from the beach, the unit has a good view of Waikiki beach. The covered lanai is a comfortable place to have a drink, meal, or just watch surfers. We could even see the Friday night fireworks at the other end of Waikiki beach over the buildings in between. Steve was a very communicative host who answered all of our questions promptly. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Waikiki.

Perfect Place to Stay in Waikiki

This rental was just as advertised. Clean, comfortable and close to everything. The views from the 20th floor balcony are amazing. The owner was very responsive to questions and recommended restaurants and activities that all turned out perfect. Will try and rebook when we return. We booked this 9-10 months in advance and I am so glad we did. Kerry Malone

25 Year Anniversary Get Away

This was our 5th trip to Hawaii and Steve’s place was the perfect place to celebrate our 25th Anniversary! The place was very well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen! It was very clean & you cannot beat the view of the beach! We enjoyed our coffee and breakfast on the balcony watching the sunrise and the surfers every morning. Other guests had left beach chairs, umbrellas, beach mats etc…This came in very handy! It was close to some of our favorite restaurants & we found a few new ones close by. Steve was very responsive when I sent a message and answered all our questions. He was a fantastic host! The only drawback is the AC unit is not big enough & has a hard time keeping the place cool, especially in the bedroom. He did have 2 fans in the unit, so that helped tremendously. He is trying to get a second AC unit approved for the bedroom, so hopefully he’ll be able to get that installed. So if you want a fantastic view of the beach, with a kitchen and a very responsive host, this is the place! We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip!

100% worth every penny

This condo was perfect for my husband and I. The location and balcony view is 10/10. It’s literally 2 mins from the beach! Much closer than I thought from the photos. There’s an amazing poke place right across the street, Waikiki market a block away for groceries and literally everything you imagine within 4 Blocks each way. Bus stops, bike and scooter rentals are within a block or two. Live music a block away at a neat outdoor restaurant pub.. Elevators are fast. Bed is comfy. Zero complaints. We will be returning! Highly recommend. It’s not a huge condo, but it is set up very well with everything you need. We’ll taken care of as well.

Best week ever at the best condo of all time 🤩

This place is PERFECT for 1-2 people! We had everything we needed and more. I’m sure some guests have left some of the hidden treasures that we used during our stay/ and I’m sure people take things as well, so all of these items may not be there in the future. But we were amazed at how well stocked the place was. The bench on the balcony had three chairs, two umbrellas, a shovel, tube, boogie board and a football. The kitchen has a four burner stove and oven, toaster oven, toaster, blender, coffee pot, crockpot, microwave and tons of dishes/cooking pots/ utensils. There was even tinfoil, trash bags, cling wrap, paper towels, dish soap, salt, pepper, sugar, honey, syrup and cinnamon in the cabinets. The place is also fully stocked with towels and beach towels. The rooftop pool, sauna and hot tub are all so nice. It was great when we didn’t want to get sandy at the beach. The view from the condo is INCREDIBLE. Truly waking up there every day felt like a dream. Our first day we saw a rainbow over the skyline and ocean, it’s actually paradise. Best part is the location. So close to everything! We had friends in town and everyone was jealous of the location we were at. Steven was super kind, helpful and easy to work with. We are definitely going to try and book this place in the future.

30th wedding anniversary in paradise!

This property was perfect! Steve was a gem from start to finish! He communicated with us clearly and timely and was always available to help with great suggestions for outings! It is exactly as pictured and described. Very clean with all amenities needed for comfort. Maybe, a bit dated; however, we would take clean and comfortable and a good host over "modern decor" anytime. Perfect for a couple. The views are breathtaking! The location was perfect as we could walk everywhere. The location was central Waikiki. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our 30th wedding anniversary! Thank you Steve for making our trip a great lasting memory!

Awesome condo. Steve is the best

The views are wonderful. This was our first time to stay in a condo, after 29 times of staying in hotels, and we are glad we stayed here! Will most definitely stay here again next visit. Steve was very kind and gracious to work with. Would highly recommend staying here. Short walk to Waikiki Beach. Several choices close by for food. Loved sitting on the lanai every evening, enjoying the tropical breezes with the awesome view. Mahalo Steve!
