2 Bedrooms • 2 Bathrooms 2 Baths • Sleeps 4-6THE PENTHOUSE
You’ll feel like you’re sitting on top of the world in this spacious 1,052 sq ft penthouse at the Hawaiian Monarch. Spectacular 270-degree panoramic views stretch from Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach to the ocean, Fort DeRussy Park, the Ala Wai Canal and golf course, and the Koolau Mountains. You’ll see both sunrises and sunsets. Every view photo in this listing was taken from inside the penthouse.
The views aren’t just from the living room. Both bedrooms and even the kitchen have them! The open living and dining area gives everyone room to relax, and each bedroom has its own private bathroom and air conditioner.
It’s an unusually spacious retreat for Waikiki, with the comforts of home and views you won’t soon forget.
This is a legal vacation rental, privately owned and managed by us, not part of the hotel’s rental pool.

LOCATION AND GETTING AROUND
You’re in a convenient Waikiki location, close to the beach, restaurants, shopping, and many of Honolulu’s attractions.
Waikiki Beach is about a 13-minute walk through the park. The Hawaii Convention Center is approximately 530 yards away. The Hilton Hawaiian Village is also within walking distance, making the penthouse a great home base for conference attendees and vacationers alike.
You can walk to Ala Moana Center (the world's largest outdoor shopping center), Waikiki Beach Walk, restaurants, grocery stores, and the post office.
From the penthouse, you can watch canoe paddlers practicing on the Ala Wai Canal below. And on Friday nights, you can enjoy the Hilton Hawaiian Village fireworks right from your windows!
You probably won’t need a car.
A bus stop across the street provides connections to destinations throughout Honolulu and Oahu, including Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, Chinatown, the airport and beyond. Rideshare services, bike share, and organized tours offer additional ways to explore.
If you’d like a car for a day of sightseeing, you can rent one right in the building or use a service such as Turo.

About the Owner
Aloha! I'm Steve Marcotte. I grew up in Palo Alto, in the heart of Silicon Valley. In 1992, I came to Hawaii for a recording session and immediately felt at home. When I returned in 1993, I bought a little cottage by the ocean and began renting it to visitors. As a software engineer, I advertised the cottage online. In 1993, few people used the internet, so many of my first guests were fellow engineers and tech folks. After 20 years in corporate software engineering, I was ready for a change. I moved to Hawaii in 1996, founded A Piece of Paradise, and have been welcoming guests to the islands ever since! In 2013, I moved to Waikiki and founded Hawaii Second Homes. Today, I manage four Waikiki vacation rentals, from cozy studios to a penthouse that sleeps six. I manage them all personally, with no management company in the middle. When you have a question, I'm the one who answers it. Being semi-retired gives me plenty of time for my guests and properties. After more than 30 years of hosting, and as an avid traveler myself, I know what makes a stay enjoyable: honest descriptions, accurate photos, well-equipped accommodations, clear instructions, easy check-in at any hour, and someone you can count on if you need help. I'm also a licensed Hawaii real estate broker (RB-18115) and principal broker of Hawaii Second Homes. Curious about the building, neighborhood, or owning property in Hawaii? Just ask. I enjoy talking about it! Outside of rentals, I write and record music. I lived in Japan and played music there, and I still travel to Nashville annually to record with friends from my high school and college bands, along with multiple Grammy-winning studio musicians. Music and travel have always been important to me. I love living in Hawaii and helping visitors enjoy the islands. Mahalo for considering one of my vacation rentals. I hope to welcome you to Waikiki soon! Aloha, SteveLocation
