Magnificent Ocean View Penthouse, FREE PARKING-
Pool renovation until May 18th
Enjoy being on top of the world and just one block from Waikiki's best beach. Our one bedroom beach house has breath taking panoramic ocean views from front and side windows, a separate fully equipped kitchen, 50" flat screen Smart T.V., large lanai facing the ocean, free WIFI and cable. As this suite is the penthouse level of 'The Diamond Stack' at the Waikiki Banyan, it is 60 sq. feet larger than other suites and offers three more windows and higher ceilings creating a larger living space. Our newly remodeled bathroom is a great addition to our clean and comfortable penthouse in paradise.
There is a view from almost everywhere in the apartment. Open all the blinds and enjoy seeing large expanses of Waikiki. Sit up in bed and the ocean view awaits you... The mirrored dining table wall allows you to see the view even if you're not looking directly out the window. This is a premier view condo.
If you are a boogie boarder or surfer you can look out and view the surf break. Look through the binoculars and maybe you'll be lucky enough to spot a whale. Our condo is both romantic and family friendly for all ages. We have created a relaxing and comfortable Hawaiian style environment that is welcoming and fun. As soon as you walk through the door you will be amazed at the view and feeling of Aloha.
Our condo has high quality Egyptian 1800 thread soft linens, a well stocked kitchen with pots, pans, rice cooker, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, slow cooker, and full size stove and refrigerator. The wood floors are cool and clean and perfect for a home by the beach. The large dining table is ready for you to enjoy a home cooked meal or just walk a few short steps to find a huge variety of take-out, casual and fine dining.
If you can tear yourself away from the spectacular view in the penthouse suite, you can walk a block to the most beautiful beach, the famous Honolulu Zoo, peaceful and majestic Kapiolani Park, the Aquarium, Aloha Shell, the International Marketplace, the Ali Wai golf course and all the upscale and fun shopping on Kalakaua Avenue. The efficient Bus stops within a block and provides affordable transportation to Chinatown, Diamond Head, the Ala Moana Shopping Center, Ward Center and the movie complex located there, the Academy of Fine Arts, Bishop Museum, Iolani Palace, Pearl Harbor, and The Bus completely circles the island if you want to visit the North Shore, Lanikai, Kahala and every area you may want to explore.
The Waikiki Banyan is a top rated resort that features a recreation deck with a large swimming pool, lounge chairs, 2 hot tubs with jets, a snack bar, tennis, pickleball court and basketball courts, very clean coin operated BBQ grills with outdoor seating. On the pool level there are also restrooms, showers and dressing area with saunas. The lobby features a beautiful waterfall and koi pond as well as a mini mart, coffee house/juice bar/sandwich shop with WIFI, copier and printer, and wonderful historic Hawaiian framed photos that you will enjoy viewing. The bank of 4 elevators will swiftly return you to the top floor and your home in Hawaii.
We have created a notebook of our favorite hikes, restaurants, open organic markets, free classes, unpublished tours, events, etc. for our guests. We want you to have the best experience possible while visiting our Island. We will meet you upon arrival to give you the keys and acquaint you with the condo and amenities and we're close by if you need anything during your stay.
Free parking is included, $50 a night value.

The ocean view was amazing! We appreciated the timely and detailed communication from our hosts. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable.
You cannot beat the location of this gem, both for the sights and its proximity to the things. The morning sunrises to the east of Diamond Head are magical, and the ocean is right outside the door wall. The entirety of Waikiki is within walking distance and if that weren't enough, the hosts understand what makes a great Hawaiian vacation, and have outfitted the condo appropriately. 5 stars across the board, and you'd be hard pressed to top this diamond in paradise. Book it now, thank me later!
Lovely condo on 38th floor. Great ocean view and also view of Diamond Head. Right in the action of Waikīkī without the crowds and noise.Marilyn is a pleasure to work with. Very helpful and responsive.
Condo was in a great location, close to everything and Marilyn was the best host! She met us for check-in and showed us around her condo. It had everything there we needed. Would definitely stay there again.
The condo was thoughtfully appointed to anticipate,and meet, any guest's needs. The view was spectacular!!The host was kind, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful!!!

Great view and location, with a well stocked apartment with everything you’d need ( including a pack and play for a baby!)
We stayed at the condo for a week and it was a wonderful location with parking which is tough to come by! It had everything you could need and the view was amazing. Icing on the cake was our incredible host! She went above and beyond for us and we’re so grateful we picked this spot!
We chose this property because we needed parking and the penthouse had the best views for our anniversary vacation. The host thought of everything - the space was well equipped. Thank you!
We have stayed here on our last several visits. It has been so wonderful to settle in and enjoy that view.
The condo has had everything we need and Marilyn has been very easy to work with.
Would love to be there now!
Wonderfull two outlooks at the ocean. From Bed you can see the sunrise. Perfect for Waikiki. Friendly welcome, great situation in 38th floor, really well fitted appartement. We appreciated also to sit on the balcony high above Waikiki.
My wife and I had a fantastic stay. This condo is the corner unit with an amazing SE view of the sunrise and Diamond Head and a beautiful view of the ocean morning, day and night. The corner unit provided us with a nice breeze 24/7.
Stunning view of both the ocean and Diamond Head from this penthouse apartment. If you open the windows to enjoy the lovely breezes you won’t even need to use the air conditioner. Great outdoor pool on the 6th floor.Be sure to ask Marilyn for restaurant recommendations. She won’t steer you wrong.
We stayed 9 days beginning late February 2025. Marilyn is an excellent communicator; not too much but just the right amount of contact.The property is small but just right for a couple with beautiful views. We found this end of Waikiki much nicer than the more touristy end. The beach, a block away, has a breakfront making it like a safe little lagoon. The property is attractive and very clean but could use a little updating as could the entire building.
Marilyn was incredibly accommodating, great communicator, and full of good tips and information about both the condo and the area. Any questions we had. She answered them right away, and the condo was well supplied with the basics that you will need for a comfortable stay on Waikiki.
We stayed at this penthouse for a week. It was great. Breathtaking views, great location, free parking and no one above to keep you up at night :) Beaches, stores, restaurants and zoo were walking distance away.
Dealing with the host was always a pleasure. We would definitely return in the future.
Marilyn is the best host. We enjoyed meeting her and appreciated all of the personal touches. The condo had everything we needed, and provided an absolutely fabulous view. The bed was very comfortable, and we really loved being able to open windows to enjoy the lovely breezes.
Pictures just do not do justice for the lovely Penthouse! Just awesome! Old school Hawaii at it's finest! Marilyn was the sweetest host and owner. I hate to share how awesome this place is but its worth the share! No better view in Waikiki!
View says it all but property needs some improvements. It is very cluttered with furniture with nothing to anchor it. Basically just lots of furniture The refrigerator needs thorough cleaning or replacing as do some cooking utensils. Owner very helpful with instructions with info everywhere. Lots of beach equipment too. Comfortable bed
Marilyn was very responsive with all our last minute changes due to the Maui Fires. On check-in she explained the features of the condo as well as the parking process. The collection of information in the binder with events, restaurants was helpful.
Overall excellent Host
Thanks again Tommy and Cathy
