Aloha Waikiki Visitor,
I have rented this 31st floor one-bedroom condo at Discover Bay for two years now. The view is about 230 degrees taking in the Mountains, Diamond Head and all of Waikiki. The lanai is the largest I have found in my 29 trips to the islands and has a great table & chairs for breakfast, lunch, dinner or cocktails with a group of friends.
The queen size bed is very comfortable and the living room sofa can sleep two. The Wi-Fi connection is faster than the one I have back in Chicago.
The sun does not hit the sundeck until 10:30 a.m. but that is soon enough for my needs. The common area hallways could use an updating but one does not live in the halls. The unit was very clean when I arrived BOTH times. If you rent a car, but you really do not need to as everything you will want is within walking distance, do not get one larger than a mid-size vehicle because the parking space is very, very tight.
I never close the drapes as I love to be awakened by the sunrise every morning over Diamond Head flooding into the bedroom and the Moon Rise is equally spectacular. You are just about level with it as you lie in bed. I also leave the lanai doors open when I am home because I prefer the Trade Winds blowing around the Unit instead of air-conditioning.
Just so you know, I enjoyed the area so much that I just purchased a unit two blocks away except I had to pay 1.2 million dollars for the same view. In my lifetime of travels I have never discovered a more beautiful community of people than here on Ohau (which means “The Gathering Place in Hawaiian”), the Aloha Spirit is truly alive and growing in Paradise. Enjoy you stay.
