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.

Liked: Cleanliness
This is a very clean unit on the 6th floor of a hotel inclusive of a kitchen that is very nice & well stocked but a bit quirky. The AC is an adequate room unit however, the windows do open which enhances sleeping. The windows have shears which cover the open windows and at the level nothing flies in. Parking is a separate issue but can be on the premises for additional cost. The swimming pool badly needs replastering. A major positive outside of excellent communication with the host and the hotel front desk is that the unit while having no ocean nor beach view is a 2 minute walk from the east end of Waikiki and it is child friendly. A negative issue is that the excessive noise from 6 a.m. trash pickups from the hotel and surrounding hotels makes sleeping in very difficult.

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.

Loved our stay at the Birdcage. It was clean, welcoming and great location. Though we never met Kevin in person, he is a super host. From day one he kindly and quickly answered any questions and met all our requests. The Birdcage made the trip!!! Mahalo!!!

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.

The Birdcage great location

Location is excellent! Very easy and convenient, close to the beach and next to a big park. The rooftop view is fantastic. The host was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly when I couldn’t find the entry instructions. Both the management and host were very helpful. Thank you Kevin and Jeannie!The studio is smaller than I had expected, but the kitchen had all the necessities. It is like a hotel room that has been converted to a studio. We tried sleeping with the windows open but there was a lot of early noise from construction next door. The AC worked well but left a puddle on floor, where a towel was placed to handle it. In general we had a nice stay and enjoyed our time in Waikiki!

Terrific property, amazing location!

Very nice stay, so pleased! Perfect rental for a single or couple! Way better than a 300/night hotel room, easy access and reasonable cost secure parking. Nice amenities in the unit and I cannot say enough about location! Waikiki beach is a block away, grocery store down the street, restaurants galore within walking distance. Felt very safe and secure. Most Hawaii properties are older and this one is no exception but well maintained and excellent host. Would stay again for sure!

Close to the beach

Apt was a good size and close to the beach. Steps away. Our visit got cut short from roaches inside the apt. We relocated to the resort. Host was nice and provided us back a refund. Also trash chute is in well. You can hear everyone throwing trash down chute. All in all I wouldn’t go back.

Waikiki great location

Spent a nice few days in Waikiki in this well- located property, across from the zoo... and the beach. Our only "complaint" was the TV was difficult to figure out, and a bit small for its location across the room from the bed. We are approaching 70 with poor eyesight and hearing, a bigger TV, or more comfirtable seating closer to tv would have been great. been nice. Othe the early 60s.
