Perfect place in Waikiki!
I lived in the Waikiki jungle back in the 1960’s. It’s so very different now, but when I stay at the Waikiki Grand and look over the park and ocean, I can forget about the concrete jungle behind me. Alexei’s unit has everything you need and I was able to cook my own meals for 2 weeks with no trouble. Safeway is just a nice long walk or bus ride away. Queens Surf beach is right there out your window! This unit is lovely with upscale lighting, comfy bed, great cable and WiFi, and amazing view.

Great location along the edge of the hotels next to the zoo. Easy beach access. Walking trails, groceries, restaurants nearby. We found free parking near zoo and park within walking distance. Expect city noise. Kitchenette very handy. Great views from the balcony-beach/ocean in one direction and Diamondhead in the other.

We loved our Vrbo! The staff at Waikīkī Grand were so kind and helpful. It was the perfect location since we were able to find free parking for our car only a block away but we’re able to walk to most places in the area. Alexei was a great host and very communicative!

Absolutely fabulous - perfect for a couple to enjoy the quiet(er) side of Waikiki!
Pros: - The view is stunning - from Diamond Head to the beach, with very few hotels in the distance. We were there in November and we could watch both the sunrise over Diamond Head and the sunset over the beach from the Lanai. - The room had a perfect little kitchen for those that want to cook breakfast or a light meal and then get to the beach. They had everything you would need for cooking right there! - The beach! This location is super close to the beach and snorkeling. My husband and I snorkeled almost every day! We even saw an octopus on the reef right by our VRBO! - The bed is SUPER comfortable, and I loved the pillows. - The A/C was strong and consistent. - The lanai is such a treat, whether it's to dry your towels or enjoy a cocktail, or just enjoy the evening. We sat on it every morning and night. It is fabulous. - Convenience overall is wonderful. There are ABC stores all over, there are a couple of great bars and food joints right around the corner as well. (We liked Lulu's for lunch and beverages, and the "Deck." is a must for dinner.) - This location is on the quiet side of Waikiki because it is kind of at the "end" of the strip. The zoo is right next door, and parkland makes up most of the view. If you like a little people watching but not so much the crowds, this is for you. - The staff at the desk was very friendly and welcoming. Elevators worked well. The lobby was very well maintained. Check out the 10th floor! - Free parking nearby! - The owners, Alexei, checking in on us a couple times. Super nice!! Not Cons! But some realities of a week in this VRBO - the unit needs a little TLC. - The shower water takes a while to get hot, so let it run, but not close to the door because the seal to the floor doesn't work properly and will get the bathroom soaked. - The closet doors aren't super friendly to open/shut, but they work. We found we didn't like to use it because of the door. - There is not a lot of room for your luggage. If you are staying over a week, it will take some thinking for how to use the unit while accessing all your stuff. We had floaties and two huge suitcases and backpacks. We made it work. - There are fabulous lounge chairs in the room (we thought they were super comfy), but they are shedding their leather horribly on the armrests. I'm not sure this is fixable, so they might just need to be replaced. Overall, we think this was the PERFECT place to stay for our first trip to Hawaii.

Awesome stay for a couple
Great property! It’s located on the 6th floor of the building with a beautiful view of Diamond Head and the beach from the balcony. Since it’s in Waikiki, it’s close to all the hustle and bustle, but east enough to escape if that’s not your vibe. Parking was a bit of a hassle, but we were able to make it work. Comfy bed, nice shower, and great amenities. Plus, the common area on the 10th floor was beautiful. Host was responsive and easy to work with. I’d definitely recommend this stay!

The room is clean and comfortable and has everything you need for your stay. The view from the lanai is like a dream. While there, you must check out the view from the 10th floor common area balcony. There are tons of great restaurants and places to shop in the area. I recommend Tiki's Grill and Bar. Alexei checked on us when we got there to make sure everything was OK. Thanks for a great stay!
