In order to help travelers plan better for a stay at room you should plan to bring hand towels so that you can have some to use and a large beach towel for each person. A shade umbrella and chairs as well. For early check-in contact the property mananger before you arrive to avoid the 29 maintenance fee.

Amazing beach view in the heart of Waikiki. Only reason a 4 star was due to check in- we had to wait 20 minutes for person to check us in, which was not ideal after traveling all day. Then, the person talked to us like we were children and stayed too long, trying to get us to use his car services. If Larry wasn’t involved, would have rated a 5 star.

Shantel was a great host. The home was exactly as described. She even allowed us to check in a bit earlier which was very appreciated. Best view ever, super convenient and close to the beach, great beach chairs, loved that we could go to the beach and run upstairs if needed. She had snacks for us, water. Gave us a run down on how to use everything. Best place to see the sunset. Thank You again!!
