Waikiki living with a rooftop oasis
Oahu Surf One, a 12-story condominium building completed in 1972, stands as a testament to Waikiki's enduring appeal. Located on Keoniana Street, this 58-unit residential complex offers a blend of urban convenience and island charm. The building's straightforward design, typical of its era, allows residents to focus on what truly matters in Waikiki living: proximity to world-famous beaches, vibrant shopping districts, and the pulsating energy of one of Hawaii's most iconic neighborhoods.
Versatile layouts with panoramic views
Oahu Surf One offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy one-bedroom units to spacious three-bedroom homes. The smallest units, at 640 square feet, provide an efficient living space with one bedroom and one bathroom. These compact apartments, perfect for singles or couples, typically rent for around $2,700 per month.
The two-bedroom units, ranging from 692 to 864 square feet, are the most common in the building. These homes feature one or two bathrooms and sell for between $487,000 and $615,000. Many of these units have been thoughtfully renovated, boasting modern amenities such as stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and updated flooring.
For those seeking more space, the three-bedroom units offer a generous 1,635 to 1,714 square feet of living area, complete with three bathrooms. These larger apartments are ideal for families or those who enjoy entertaining.
A standout feature of many units is the wraparound lanai, offering expansive views of the surrounding area. Some corner units provide stunning 270-degree vistas encompassing the ocean, Fort DeRussy, Tantalus, and St. Louis Heights. Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors maximize natural light and the cooling trade winds, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.
Interior finishes vary depending on individual renovations, but many units feature bamboo or laminate flooring, updated kitchens with breakfast bars, and spacious living areas. Some apartments have been fitted with split air conditioning units in the bedrooms and living rooms for year-round comfort. In-unit washers and dryers are a standard convenience, with some units featuring an additional outdoor sink on the lanai.
The building's design allows for flexible living arrangements, with some two-bedroom units featuring a separate entrance for the second bedroom. This layout is particularly appealing for those considering using the space for guests or as a potential rental opportunity.
Rooftop relaxation and secure living
The crown jewel of Oahu Surf One is undoubtedly its rooftop heated saltwater pool. This elevated oasis provides residents with a perfect spot to unwind while taking in panoramic views of the city, mountains, and ocean. The surrounding deck area offers ample space for sunbathing or enjoying Honolulu's spectacular sunsets.
Security is a priority at Oahu Surf One, with features including secure entry systems and a resident manager on site. The building is equipped with elevators for convenient access to all floors. For those with vehicles, the property offers assigned parking spaces, including some tandem spots that can accommodate two cars – a valuable amenity in parking-scarce Waikiki.
Additional building amenities include a patio area, perfect for small gatherings or quiet relaxation. A trash chute on each floor adds to the convenience of daily living. The building also provides storage facilities, allowing residents to maximize their living space by storing seasonal items or bulky belongings.
While the building's common areas may show signs of their age, the functionality and practicality of the amenities continue to serve residents well. The combination of these features creates a comfortable living environment that balances the excitement of Waikiki with the comforts of home.
The heart of Waikiki at your doorstep
Oahu Surf One's location on Keoniana Street places residents in the midst of Waikiki's vibrant atmosphere. This tree-lined street, free from parking meters, offers a relatively quiet respite while remaining just steps away from the action.
The world-famous Waikiki Beach is a mere 10-minute stroll from the building. Fort DeRussy Beach Park, less than a mile away, provides a less crowded alternative with its oceanfront green space, picnic tables, and grills. For those seeking a quick nature fix, Waikiki Gateway Park is practically at the doorstep, offering walking trails and a touch of greenery in the urban landscape.
Shopping enthusiasts will find themselves spoiled for choice. The Royal Hawaiian Center, about a 10-minute walk away, houses luxury brands like Hermès and Tiffany & Co. For a more diverse shopping experience, the Waikiki Beach Walk, an open-air mall featuring boutiques, restaurants, and weekly events, is less than a mile from the building. Budget-conscious shoppers can find deals at Ross Dress for Less, conveniently located within a 15-minute walk.
Dining options abound in the neighborhood. Just a short walk away, Marugame Udon serves up casual Japanese fare, while HONOLULU TACOS offers quick and affordable Mexican cuisine. For those craving local flavors, Musubi Café Iyasume, known for its rice balls and sushi, is within easy reach. Fast-food options like Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers and McDonald's are also nearby for quick meals.
Fitness enthusiasts can maintain their routines at the 24 Hour Fitness or the Hilton Hawaiian Village Gym, both within a 15-minute walk. The Ala Wai Canal, a short distance away, provides a popular route for joggers and walkers.
For everyday necessities, Waikiki Market is less than a mile away, offering a good selection of groceries. Longs Drugs, a well-stocked pharmacy, is conveniently located within a 10-minute walk for any health and personal care needs.
The neighborhood also offers plenty of entertainment options. Residents can enjoy weekly fireworks displays from the Hilton Hawaiian Village, visible from many units in the building. The International Market Place, about a 15-minute walk away, hosts regular cultural performances and events.
While Waikiki is known for its tourist attractions, Oahu Surf One's location allows residents to enjoy the best of both worlds – easy access to the excitement of the area, with the ability to retreat to a more residential setting at the end of the day.
Connected to Waikiki and beyond
Oahu Surf One's location offers residents excellent transportation options, making it easy to navigate Waikiki and explore the broader Honolulu area. The building's central position means that many of Waikiki's attractions are within walking distance, reducing the need for frequent transportation use.
For those times when public transit is necessary, the building is well-served by Honolulu's bus system, known as TheBus. Multiple bus stops are located within a five-minute walk of the property. The Kalakaua Ave & Pau St stop, less than a quarter mile away, is served by several routes including the Liliha-Waikiki-University and Waikiki-Ala Moana lines. These routes provide easy access to other parts of Honolulu, including downtown and the University of Hawaii.
Cyclists will appreciate the area's bike-friendly infrastructure. The flat terrain of Waikiki, combined with dedicated bike lanes on many streets, makes cycling a viable option for short trips. The Biki bike-share program has several stations in the vicinity, offering an affordable and convenient way to get around for both short errands and leisure rides along the beach.
For residents with cars, the building's provision of assigned parking spaces is a significant advantage in parking-scarce Waikiki. Major thoroughfares like Ala Moana Boulevard are easily accessible, connecting to the H1 Interstate just north of Waikiki. This highway runs along the southern side of Oahu and links to other major routes, making it possible to reach any part of the island by car.
When it's time to leave the island, Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is about a 20-minute drive away, approximately 9 miles from the building. Several bus routes also provide service to the airport, offering a more economical option for travelers.
The combination of walkable streets, reliable public transit, and easy access to major roads makes Oahu Surf One an excellent base for those who want to explore all that Waikiki and the broader Honolulu area have to offer, whether on foot, by bike, bus, or car.
