Colony Surf, originally a cooperative converted to fee simple, starting in 2003 (some units remained co-ops until their mortgage portions were paid), is the tallest
Gold Coast condo at the Waikiki-Diamond Head transition, built in 1958 by developer John Barkhorn on leased land from multiple owners (fee interest later purchased).
The property features spacious units - mostly oversized studios (~500 or 845+ sq ft, with 01 and 04 units slightly larger due to enclosed hallway space) and some combined into 2BR/3BR layouts - boasting large sliding windows (14” or 26” openings) for breezy, open-air living, no A/C allowed, some with permitted washer/dryers (verify), unassigned parking stalls (so far, always 1 stall available per unit), and a prime beachfront location on a pristine
white sandy beach, steps from
Kapiolani Park,
Outrigger and
Elks clubs and
Michel’s fine dining on the ground floor.
Units- Nine units per floor: 01-04 (ocean-facing, ideal views) and 05-09 (Diamond Head side, park and mountain views); above 3rd floor on Diamond Head side also have ocean views.
- Top-floor penthouse (01-04 stack) spans the entire floor with wraparound windows for unmatched Gold Coast views.
- 30-day minimum rentals allowed, popular with vacationers.
