About this property

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.

This property is located at the east end of Waikiki beach by the zoo. We like the area but do lots of walking going west down the strip. We like the walk. This apartment is located at the back of the building and doesn’t have a deck. But, big windows which we opened up and enjoyed the tropical breeze.

I stayed here for three days with my husband before moving on to another spot on the island. The Birdcage was a great way to start out our vacation. The unit was as described. It was clean and comfortable. Kevin was great and he graciously allowed us an early and easy check in. The beach is literally steps away as well as great coffee and places to shop and dine.

Host provided great communication in the lead up to the visit. Property manager response was great. Appliances in kitchenette all worked good for our early morning breakfasts up on the 10th floor patio. A/C kept the room at an acceptable temperature (for a couple of penguins from the Pacific Northwest that were navigating the heat).Great location right across the street from the Honolulu Zoo was great for both arrival from airport by bus (W-Line got us there and back) as well as bus tours that we had scheduled with pickup right across the street (and of course the beach and parks which are very much walking distance). Plenty of great food options in the immediate area whether you want higher end on the beach dining or want to try some excellent local fare up Kapahulu (Sunshine & Pineapple) or Monsarrat (Pioneer Saloon).
Sunrise view from the 10th floor patio
Sunset from the beach nearby. This would be pretty well visible from the 10th floor patio too.
