Waikiki Shore by OUTRIGGER – Select Your Unit Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Waikiki Shore by OUTRIGGER – Select Your Unit, you immediately notice this isn’t your typical hotel setup. It’s actually a condo-style property where you get to pick your specific unit — which honestly makes all the difference when you’re planning a stay in Honolulu. The building sits right on Kalia Road, and I mean right there where the action is, but somehow it doesn’t feel overwhelming. You know what really struck me? The fact that this four-star property manages to feel both residential and resort-like at the same time.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about the location — it’s not just good, it’s practically perfect for Waikiki. You’re literally steps from the beach, but more importantly, you’re positioned where locals actually hang out too. The property scored a 9.6 for location, and after spending time there, I get why. You can walk to Duke’s in about two minutes, hit the International Market Place without breaking a sweat, and still escape back to your room when the crowds get too much. Plus, there’s parking available, which anyone who’s driven around Waikiki will tell you is basically like finding gold.

The Condo Experience

Since you’re selecting your own unit, the experience varies — but that’s actually the beauty of it. Most units come with a full kitchen, which means you can grab fresh fish from the local markets and actually cook it yourself. The oceanfront units (definitely worth the splurge) give you those postcard views of Diamond Head and the Pacific that you came here for. I spent way too much time on the lanai with my morning coffee, watching the surfers catch their first waves of the day.

What Sets It Apart

The OUTRIGGER management really knows what they’re doing here. You get the independence of a vacation rental but with actual hotel services when you need them. The building itself is well-maintained — not flashy or over-the-top, just solid and comfortable. What I appreciated most was how quiet it stays despite being in the heart of everything. The sound of the ocean actually drowns out most of the street noise, which is something you don’t always get in Waikiki properties.

Why Guests Love It

Couples especially seem to gravitate toward this place, and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having your own little slice of paradise rather than just another hotel room. The flexibility of choosing your unit means you can find exactly what works for your trip, whether that’s ocean views, extra space, or just the best deal. It’s the kind of place where you can actually live like a local for a week, hitting the farmer’s markets, cooking at home, but still having that vacation feel. Honestly, it strikes that sweet spot between authentic Hawaiian living and tourist convenience that’s pretty hard to find in Waikiki these days.
