Ocean View Waikiki Shore Condo Directly on Waikiki Beach

Anyone that enjoys sun and surf usually has Honolulu and Waikiki Beach at the top of their list of vacation destinations. And why not?

Arguably the most beautiful city in the Pacific Rim, you get all that, plus world class shopping on a par with Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive, exciting restaurants and nightlife (I dare you to say that being in an open air nightclub with Tiki Torches all around you is boring!!), and on top of it all – Hawaiian Aloha.

You’d like to live there full time someday, maybe retire there, but right now, you’d be thrilled to own a working condo – you know, a place to come to every couple of months or so, while the rest of the time, the property generates income for you as a vacation rental.

Waikiki Shores Opportunity

A lot of opportunity there, but it’s always wisest, I find, to choose a place that is high on other peoples’ lists too. Enter Waikiki Shore, managed by the Castle Hotel program, and the only condo building directly on Waikiki Beach – how desirable is that?

Currently, there are 8 units for sale at Waikiki Shore, 3 studios and 5 one bedrooms. The studios are a great deal, I grant you that, but as this is an income producing place, plus perhaps a retirement destination for you, I would be more inclined to choose one of the one bedroom units. It’ll be more livable on a day-to-day basis for you in the long run, and in the meantime, a one bedroom generally produces a higher income stream.

What’s the Best Unit Currently For Sale at Waikiki Shore?

Of the 5 one bedrooms currently being offered, my money is on unit #1416, a beautifully remodeled fully furnished turnkey unit that is already in the Castle Hotel rental pool (MLS# 1209371). Offered at $970,000, this unit is the epitome of breezy, Hawaiian Contemporary Condo living, with views that you just can’t get from any other building.
