Marvelous Marine Surf Studio
Guest rating: 4.6 / 5
Overview
Marvelous Marine Surf Studio is an independently managed, remodeled studio in the Marine Surf building on Seaside Avenue in Waikiki, between Kuhio and Kalakaua Avenues. The unit is on the 11th floor and has an elevator, a private lanai with a city view, and reserved secured garage parking for one vehicle.
Room & Kitchenette
The studio has a full-size bed and a full-size sleeper sofa, each described as sleeping two, plus a closet and vanity area. Its remodeled kitchenette includes a full-size refrigerator and freezer, hot plate, microwave, sink, counter space, and basic dishes and cutlery; the renovated bathroom has a shower and tub.
Amenities
In-unit amenities include air conditioning, cable TV, free Wi-Fi, and a balcony or lanai; the property is smoke-free and kid-friendly. Marine Surf building amenities include an outdoor pool, sundeck, spa, elevator, secured parking garage, and coin-operated laundry. The pool is unheated, and this independently managed rental does not include daily cleaning or linen service.
Dining & Location
The studio is a short walk from Waikiki Beach, the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, and the Ala Wai Canal, with shopping and restaurants nearby. Dining options within roughly 50–120 metres include Heavenly Island Lifestyle, ALOHA MELT, Basalt, and Paia Fish Market Waikiki; Duke’s Waikiki and Hula Grill Waikiki are also nearby. Multiple Kuhio Avenue bus stops are within about 50–440 metres.
Best for
This studio suits couples or solo travelers who want a central Waikiki base with a kitchenette, Wi-Fi, a private city-view lanai, and reserved garage parking. It can accommodate up to four using the bed and sleeper sofa, though the compact studio may feel tight for a family of four.
Travel tips
Several Kuhio Avenue bus stops are very close, including stops about 52 and 87 metres away, and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is about 10.5 km from the property. The reserved parking is useful for a rental car, but guests have described the garage as confusing to navigate at first. Nearby street-level venues may produce evening music; one review mentioned noise from a bar between about 7 and 10 p.m.
What guests say
Guests repeatedly praised the central Waikiki location, proximity to the beach, shopping, and restaurants, and the convenience of the included parking spot. Reviews also mention cleanliness, a comfortable bed, and helpful property management. Some guests found the garage difficult to navigate, and one reported weak air conditioning; evening music from a nearby bar was another occasional concern. The public rating is 4.56 out of 5 from 57 reviews.
