Description
Welcome to the Aloha Surf condotel! This is one of the best positioned in the building: on the highest 15th floor just under penthouse, and the best corner stack ocean-facing side of building, not overlooking street. Sleeps up to 4 people with a renovated bathroom and kitchenette. Beautiful ocean views from your breezy lanai - you are just two blocks from the beach, shops and restaurants in the heart of Waikiki. If you are looking for excellent rental cashflow, this is it! Short term rentals are allowed either through joining the Aqua-Aston hotel pool or managing privately. This is currently a very busy private rental unit - showings can be arranged in between check-outs and check-ins. All furnishings included with sale.
