Our newly renovated studio is located in the Kuhio Village Towers, where you are steps away from Waikiki Beach, near the Duke Kahanamoku statue! You are also less than a 10 minute walk from the International Marketplace, and Royal Hawaiian Center, where you can shop and dine! Every corner there is something to do, somewhere to eat. It's all about location in Waikiki, and our space is just that!

(It may get tight with 3 adults but a third person is an option;) Sit back and unwind with our 43" SMART TV and stream using our 300mbps wifi service. A new AC unit was installed in August 2024. A Bluetooth Bose speaker system is installed for your enjoyment while in the unit. This is a corner unit and boasts of 2 separate balconies- we've outfitted one with a 2 seater bistro table for al fresco dining... and the other balcony with a lounge chair for relaxing.

Our location couldn't be any more perfect! Wether you wanted to go visit the beach or get a quick bite or even if you're feeling a bit adventurous and want to go on a hike! We are next door to some of the islands best food trucks, mid to fine dining restaurants and world class shopping. With such a central location to bustling Waikiki, please expect the noise and hustle and bustle that comes with it. We provide a noise machine on the bedside table and ear plugs (under the bathroom sink) for light sleepers.

Our space is the perfect jump off spot for either. We are located less than a 5 minute walk to the world famous Waikiki beach, and less than a 10 minute walk from the International Marketplace or Royal Hawaiian Center. Local eateries are located right downstairs, as well as a food trucks next to our building or right across the street for dessert.

**IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE:

For your comfort we have just replaced the AC window unit (new 10,000 btu installed in aug 2024).
