the Birdcage - Waikiki Hideaway, Steps to the Beach

Location is everything!

The Birdcage is a breezy and bright studio giving you clear views of the Koolau Mountains. With historic Waikiki Beach just outside the hotel lobby, the Birdcage is the perfect home base for exploring Honolulu and the rest of Oahu.

Double paned sliding glass windows greatly minimize the urban sounds of Waikiki, but let a lot of light in. An expansive roof deck on top of the hotel provides a bird's eye view of Diamond Head. There are lounge chairs for sunbathing and tables for alfresco dining. No one else in Waikiki has a better view of the sun setting into the Pacific. Kapiolani Park is just across the street and offers the Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium, the Royal Hawaiian Bandstand, tennis courts, soccer fields, archery ranges, weekend art shows and the city's Sunset on the Beach free concerts and movies - all this in its 500 green acres.

One of the main reasons for coming to Hawaii is of course the sun and sand. Surfing, stand up board paddling, outrigger canoeing, swimming and simply lounging on the beach are all just a few steps from the Birdcage.

Hawaii is the crossroads of the Pacific and its culinary offerings reflect that abundantly, so while the Birdcage has a kitchen and microwave, you are a short walk away from countless cafes and restaurants catering to every taste and price range. Similarly, if you can get yourself out of the water and away from the beach there is a lot of shopping to be done in Waikiki, and the many other shopping venues just a short drive away.

The Birdcage is at the end of Waikiki. Kapahulu Avenue provides easy access to the freeway, and makes getting in and out of the area very easy because you avoid all the traffic in the heart of Waikiki. This is perfect for when you decide to explore the rest that Oahu has to offer.

Perfect beginning.
My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay. Kevin and the staff at the hotel were friendly and accomodating. The beach was just a few steps from our door, the scenary was beautiful, and the community was warm and inviting. So thankful we had this experience in such a wonderful place together!

Great host, lovely place.
Kevin Lum is probably the best property owner I have encountered. He goes the extra mile and responds with speed to any communication. Our refrigerator wasn't working very well and when we told him that, it was replaced that day with a brand new one! Everything we needed was in the apartment and we loved the location. Will definitely stay here again.

Fantastic getaway spot
The Birdcage was exactly what we needed for our trip to Honolulu. Location at the end of Waikiki close to the zoo was convenient to get in and out of and to be able to walk down Waikiki without being surrounded by the crowds. The kitchenette meant we could save money by cooking or bringing food back to the condo while taking advantage of the use of the 10th floor sky deck to eat meals with a full view of Diamondhead and the beach. Paying for parking at the Waikiki Grand made it very convenient to come and go at our leisure. Altogether an excellent trip!

Great Location & Everything We Needed
The Birdcage was a wonderful location for us with all the amenities we needed. It was convenient to have a rental car with paid parking located right under us at the Castle Waikiki Grand Hotel. Of course, the Castle isn't really a hotel any longer but kind of operates like one. The condos are owned privately. However, in addition to the VRBO owner and the local property manager in Honolulu available by text, there is someone at the front desk most hours to help answer questions and provide minimal check-in/check-out for the room and parking. Note: Parking is run by a separate entity, not the condo owners. Kevin, the Birdcage owner and host, and his property manager were speedy responding to questions and gave us extra tips for travel and detailed instructions for the condo. The beach is only a block away. The views from the 10th floor patio are gorgeous and we took advantage of some relaxation time up there. As for travel to other parts of the island, we found it easy to get to the highway to go west, central or east. Most days we used our car for early morning/afternoon excursions and then did a lot of walking afternoons and evenings. The on-site pool isn't fancy but clean and you can basically have it to yourself. As for the room temperature, we sometimes used the window A/C and sometimes used the nice window cross-breeze. I used earplugs to minimize city and A/C noise for sleeping and it was fine. Laundry was $2 a wash/dry. Easy peasy. Definitely recommend!

Basic Needs
The property gave us all the basic needs of a good stay...the property mananger was very responsive to any requests prior to our visit. The property was located within easy access to many local sights and activities; making our ability to walk pretty much everywhere - beautiful views from the top floor deck area - wonderfully friendly people at the front desk; always helpful. I'd say the only negatives would be cleanliness and wear and tear on a nice little space could be improved; updated. Overall; we certainly enjoyed ourselves.

Great location
Before we arrived Kevin was very responsive to any questions. Once we arrived Jeannie was just as responsive on our couple of questions. The location was ideal for us - easy walk to everything including beach, buses, town. The condo had everything we needed and was very quiet. We didn’t need the A/C as we had a beautiful breeze with the windows open.

A Fantastic Studio for Two in a Prime Waikiki Location
This cozy studio is perfect for two people, with many highlights to enjoy. The location is the most significant benefit of this condo. You'll be in close proximity to Waikiki's famous attractions, including the beach, Leonard Malasadas, Rainbow drive-through, and ABCs. Kevin, the host, is incredibly accommodating, and the rental cost is a bargain for what you get in this prime location.

Nice but noisy
The unit was fine, nothing special. It had minimal extras (I had to ask for more toilett paper as there was only one roll for our 10 day stay). The unit could use a bit of a touch up, seems dated. The main issue was how noisy it is. You can open up the windows, but the street noise is way to loud. And if you close the windows the AC is crazy loud. We never felt like we could just chill in peace abd quiet. Other than those issues the location is great, parking was easy at the zoo or Monsarrat.

The Birdcage was perfect for my solo stay. It was close to the beach, restaurants, and transportation around the island. The 10th floor sundeck was a treat for morning coffee and evening sunset watching. It was an incredible view and perfect to see the Sunday fireworks. Kevin was a great host, making my early arrival easy.

Birdcage Stay - 1 week
We stayed at the Birdcage for the first week of our two week Hawaii vacation. The views from the rooftop were outstanding, literally steps away from the beach, and ease of access to the shops. The room was as pictured on the listing. While we didn’t use the pool, it was a great option to have. We loved the kitchen in the unit, as we cooked the majority of our meals. Kevin was fantastic to chat with and provided all the necessary details for our stay. Thanks again!
