Beachfront living in the heart of Waikiki

The Seashore, an 11-story condominium completed in 1967, stands as a testament to Waikiki's enduring appeal. Located just steps from the world-famous Waikiki Beach, this 55-unit building offers residents and visitors alike the quintessential Hawaiian experience. The Seashore's simple, utilitarian design allows its prime location to take center stage, with many units boasting partial ocean views and the vibrant cityscape as a backdrop.

Compact studios to spacious two-bedrooms with ocean breezes

The Seashore offers a range of floor plans to suit various needs, from cozy studios to more spacious two-bedroom units. Studios, ranging from 267 to 336 square feet, provide an efficient living space with one bathroom, ideal for those seeking a pied-à-terre or investment property. One-bedroom units expand to approximately 500 square feet with two bathrooms, offering a bit more room to spread out. For those requiring more space, two-bedroom units provide about 900 square feet with two bathrooms, perfect for small families or those who enjoy entertaining. Many units have been thoughtfully updated, with some featuring remodeled flooring and bathrooms as of 2021. LVP vinyl plank flooring and new tile work have refreshed these spaces, creating a modern, low-maintenance environment. Full kitchens come standard in all units, allowing residents to prepare meals while enjoying the convenience of urban living. Open lanais invite residents to take in partial ocean views or the twinkling city lights, depending on the unit's location within the building. The building's design ensures that each home benefits from natural light and the refreshing ocean breeze, embodying the indoor-outdoor lifestyle that Hawaii is known for.

Essentials for island living with a focus on location

While The Seashore may not boast an extensive list of luxury amenities, it compensates with its prime location and practical features that cater to both long-term residents and those seeking a vacation property. The building is equipped with air conditioning and ceiling fans, ensuring comfort during warmer months. Cable-ready units and furnished options are available, simplifying the move-in process for new residents or set-up for vacation rentals. A property manager is on-site to address residents' needs and maintain the building's operations. The presence of an elevator adds convenience for residents and guests alike. The Seashore's amenities focus on the essentials, allowing residents to take full advantage of the surrounding area's offerings, from the beach to nearby restaurants and shops.

The pulse of Waikiki at your doorstep

The Seashore's location in the heart of Waikiki places residents in one of Oahu's most vibrant and historic neighborhoods. Once a retreat for Hawaiian royalty, Waikiki has transformed into a bustling tourist destination that still maintains its charm for local residents. The area's rich history is evident in landmarks like the pink-clad Royal Hawaiian hotel and the Duke Kahanamoku surfing memorial, both within walking distance of The Seashore. Waikiki Beach, considered by many as the birthplace of modern surfing, is less than 100 yards from the building. Here, residents can enjoy year-round water temperatures of about 75 degrees, perfect for swimming, surfing, or simply lounging on the sand. The crystal-clear reefs offer glimpses of vibrant sea life, adding to the area's natural allure. For those who enjoy retail therapy, the International Market Place is a short five-minute walk away. This open-air mall features a global food court and high-end retail shops, offering a diverse shopping and dining experience. Live Polynesian music and dance performances on select evenings add to the cultural ambiance. Just a bit further, about a 10-minute walk, is the Royal Hawaiian Center, home to luxury brands like Hermès and Tiffany & Co. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to some of Waikiki's finest dining establishments. Hy's Steak House, less than a quarter-mile away, offers a regal setting with leather booths for an upscale dining experience. For those seeking ocean views with their meal, Azure at the Royal Hawaiian, about a 10-minute walk from The Seashore, serves local seafood in an elegant, oceanfront setting. Nature lovers and fitness enthusiasts can take advantage of nearby green spaces. Kapi?olani Regional Park, a 200-acre expanse that was once King Kalakaua's polo fields, is just a five-minute walk away. The park hosts the Honolulu Zoo and Waikiki Aquarium, along with tennis courts, soccer fields, and picnic areas. For those looking to stay active, Body Balance Hawai'i - Cycling & Pilates is about a 3-mile drive, offering fitness classes with a local touch. The neighborhood's appeal extends beyond tourist attractions, with practical amenities for everyday living. Grocery shopping options include Down to Earth Organic & Natural, approximately 2.5 miles away, offering organic produce and natural products for health-conscious residents.

A walker's paradise with easy access to greater Oahu

The Seashore's location in Waikiki lends itself to a pedestrian-friendly lifestyle. The immediate area is highly walkable, with most daily errands and attractions accessible on foot. Wide sidewalks accommodate the flow of residents and tourists alike, making it easy to explore the neighborhood's shops, restaurants, and beaches without the need for a vehicle. For those who prefer two wheels, Waikiki is exceptionally bike-friendly. The flat terrain and numerous bike lanes make cycling a practical and enjoyable way to navigate the area. O'ahu's bike share program, Biki, offers convenient rentals for about $10 per day, providing an eco-friendly transportation option for short trips around the neighborhood. While public transit options are available, they may not be the primary mode of transportation for residents of The Seashore. However, for those looking to explore other parts of Honolulu, the island's bus system, TheBus, has routes that connect Waikiki to downtown, Chinatown, and other popular areas. For longer trips or inter-island travel, Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is approximately 10 miles away, or about a 20-minute drive. This proximity makes The Seashore an ideal base for frequent travelers or those with connections to other Hawaiian islands. Residents who prefer to drive will find that major thoroughfares like Ala Moana Boulevard provide easy access to downtown Honolulu and other parts of the island. The H1 Interstate, located just north of Waikiki, connects to other major highways, allowing for exploration of O'ahu's diverse landscapes and attractions. It's worth noting that while The Seashore's location reduces the need for daily car use, parking in Waikiki can be challenging. Residents who own vehicles may need to secure parking separately, as space is often at a premium in this bustling neighborhood.
