Marine Surf Waikiki

Marine Surf Waikiki is a 23-story, 230-unit condotel at 364 Seaside Avenue, sitting in the heart of Waikiki just a short walk from the beach. Built in 1968 on resort-zoned land, the building was designed from the start for the hospitality market, and that zoning is what makes it a compelling ownership option today — legal short-term vacation rentals are permitted, allowing owners to list on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO when they’re not in residence. In a neighborhood where that approval is increasingly hard to come by, it’s a meaningful distinction.

The vast majority of units are compact studios, running around 392 square feet — however, most have a full kitchen and lanai. There are a limited number of 1 bedroom units on upper floors. The building also offers a dedicated parking stall with most units — uncommon in condotels and a practical advantage in a neighborhood where parking is scarce. Views vary by floor and orientation, with city, mountain, and ocean exposures available across the building.

The Royal Hawaiian Center and International Market Place are steps away, and Waikiki Beach is a short walk down Seaside Avenue. The building has a pool, sundeck, walking path, community laundry, and an on-site restaurant, which rounds out the amenity profile for a building primarily designed around investment use.
