How many studio hotel rooms that are located in the Heart of Waikikiare within 6 minutes walk to the beach,  have a 104 sq ft Lanai with clear glass railing, full kitchen, sleep 1 to 4, include free broad band Wifi within a secure building featuring resort like amenities? Not many. Not in this price range. Good luck!
Just what defines the Heart of Waikiki? A healthy debate!
It's only a 3 minute walk to the International Market Place where 1,224 people pass every 15 minutes during peak evening hours -- the highest concentration of pedestrian traffic in Waikiki, according to a study completed by the University of Hawaii. King William Kana'ina Lunalilo (1835- 1874), the first elected king in Hawaiian history, had a summer residence here. The site also offers nearby entertainment, dining, Hawaiian Heritage, asian culture and shopping at world-class Royal Hawaiian Center, Waikiki Beachwalk and Luxury Row .  The condo is 4 minutes to the Royal Hawaiian Center , 6 minutes to Waikiki Beachwalk , 8 minutes to Ft De Russy park, 8 minutes to Luxury Row, 16 minutes to the Honolulu Zoo, 16 minutes to Kapiolani Park and 24 minutes to the Waikiki Aquarium.
OK, so there is no further question about it!
Now, what's the point going all the way to Waikiki and not be able to lounge comfortably on your own Lanai, having varied scenery; morning, noon, afternoon, evening and at night? In spite of that there are many hotel rooms in Waikiki with no Lanai. Some have a tiny ledge barely large enough for a couple of chairs. When it comes to Lanais, bigger is better! Our Lanai is a spacious 104 sq ft with outdoor furniture including a wicker love seat, wicker coffee table and fold-down hardwood dining table with 4 chairs. Who wants to look through bars when they are sitting down? No one! That's why our contemporary clear see through glass railing is better!
 What can you see from the Lanai? Rockpile surfbreak, awesome sunsets, starry nights, Friday evening fireworks, mid morning Manoa Valley rainbows, afternoon outrigger canoes paddling along the Ala Wai, Punchbowl National Monument - extinct volcano and the Ala Wai Golf course. Plenty! Will all the other studios have views with this much? Of course not. Just check out their photos -- or lack of them!
In today's connected world guests are often joined together at the hip with a Wireless device. Who wants a room with no Internet? Dial up? No Wifi? Shared access? Security issues? Are you out of your mind?  secure, dedicated, 150MB sec, broadband Wifi is included. Once wired, always wired. For those who want a local phone we also offer T-Mobile pre-paid wireless/Wifi phone service. We rent you the handset for $2.50 day and you purchase the pre-paid minutes you need directly from T-Mobile.
The variety and quality of food and restaurants in Waikiki is fantastic but who wouldn't appreciate the convenience, and cost saving option of their own fully equipped kitchen? Not a soul! In our kitchen you have a full size refrigerator, freezer, wetbar, 2 burner cook top, microwave, garbage disposal, rice cooker, toaster, cookware and table ware -- mmmm. bring on the groceries and snacks!
 Some Studios only sleep 2. Others that sleep 4 often have 2 queen size beds taking up too much floor space -- standing room only! Ours is and ideal combination, 1 queen bed and 1 queen Italian leather sofa sleeper. Beds are made up with 600 thread count linens, comfy comforters and cool pillows. It sleeps up to 4 guests, in style with room to stretch! Sit back and enjoy the 40 inch Sony Bravia wall mounted flat screen TV after a full day at the beach (channel 24 is channel guide). This unit has a total of 413 sq ft living area (309 Interior and 104 Lanai). It's located close to the wide-open North corner of the building -- Aerial Photo -- Building Plan
And what of the bathroom? Ours has a built in cast iron tub, fixed shower head, corian shower walls and sink, toilet, a designer mirror, halogen pendant lighting, soffit lighting and forced air ventilation, towels included. -- deluxe features not commonly found in the other guy's units.
 Even though there is so much to do and so many services nearby, isn't it fine to have a secure, 6th floor wrap-around recreation terrace with a swimming pool, whirlpool, outdoor furniture, shady trellises and a sauna? And, if you need to get some small stuff or wash a load of laundry, there is a mini-mart and coin operated laundry on the same level. And for your peace of mind, the building has 24 hour security guards, cameras and a keyed entrance.
To top it off, Island Colony is the tallest and largest building in Waikiki standing at 43 floors topped with a steep pitch roof over 700 units - higher than Trump Tower! Just in case you are waiting to hook up with somebody and have nothing to do, there is free Wifi in the large, open, tropical lobby. And there is no need to go hunting for parking when you can rent from Pro Park in the building, park for free along un-metered Ala Wai Blvd or utilize a an abundance of other parking options. Being a leader in Waikiki is a big job. The owner's of Island Colony are dedicated to maintaining and improving the building. By the end of June 2011, we will just have completed another renovation, this one to the tune of $6.5 million dollars.
For transportation convenience it's 1 minute to City Bus stop or Waikiki Trolley. Or it's zero minutes to Enterprise Rent A Car (cars and scooters) on the ground floor of the building. There are bicycle racks and surfboard storage on the ground floor as well.
OK. Go ahead and shop till you drop but we think you are beginning to see the difference between our condo and the other guys. Maybe you are even wondering if you've looked long enough!
