From the first time we made contact with Steve, everything was so smooth. He kept in contact with us throughout arrival and departure. The building is in a prime location, overlooking Wakakki Beach. Walking distance to food venues, bars shopping..etc.
We only had to use our rental car 1 day, because we went to the Punchbowl Cemetery, and took a ride to see a waterfall. The penthouse was clean and fully equipped. We just had to find a market to get water, coffee, etc. That was all in walking distance. I highly recommend a stay here on your next visit to Oahu. Thanks for everything.

The penthouse was perfect for what we needed. Closest to Waikiki and nightlife. Close to restaurants. Clean and spacious area for our family of 5 (3 teenagers and 2 parents) It came well equipped with beach necessities as well. 2 boogie boards and beach chairs, towels etc. the VIEW is breathtaking. See diamond head, the ocean, sunrises and rainbows from every window!

Steve is an absolute super-host and made check-in and all communication seamless. He was so quick to respond to all emails and questions and was very helpful. Fantastic host in every respect.
The location of the building is close enough to a great beach and downtown. We had to use Uber and taxis for some destinations, but typically walked everywhere. The building itself is older and very dated, but it had basic but adequate facilities (pool, hot tubs, workout room). Another huge plus was two closets filled with beach equipment (chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc.)
The condo we stayed in was definitely dated and older, but it was clean. All things needed for kitchen/laundry were provided and made it easy for cooking and keeping up with clean towels for our group. There were only two things that were sub-par. The AC is VERY LOUD and awkward, and it did not work half of the time in one bedroom. Steve was aware and had waited quite a long time for a repair person who was coming the day we left. The second issue was the king bed was extremely hard, and I ended up sleeping on the couch every night. But other than a few other aesthetic things, the condo served our purpose well, and we would recommend it because of the view, amenities, and gracious staff who work there. And as already mentioned, Steve is a fantastic host. If you don’t need or care about updated/fancy accommodations, this is your place.

The Sisters enjoyed our stay on Honolulu and the people at the Hawaiian Monarch were very courteous, from the security personnel, to the individual Owner Steve. Beds were comfortable, we cooked several meals in their fully equipped kitchen and watched movies with easy Roku devices. The views were spectacular and it was very quiet. The pool and jacuzzi needed to be cleaned on the day we used them and this area is shared with the Monarch's other unit owners. Security is good and we always felt safe. It was a wonderful time. Aloha

This condo is perfect. It is exactly as advertised. It is clean and stocked with everything you will need. It is very spacious. The views are absolutely breathtaking! You can see the ocean, Diamond Head, the canal and much more from any window in the condo. It is about a 20 minute walk to the beach. There are numerous stores and restaurants within walking distance of the condo as well. The pool and hot tubs are wonderful. There are plenty of lounge chairs and an outdoor cooking area! Steve is an amazing host and answered all of the questions that I had. He also checked in with us during our stay to make sure we were ok and didn’t need anything. We had a small issue with a thermostat and he had it fixed within 20 minutes. We loved everything about the condo and would definitely stay here again!
