This condo is located in a great spot in Waikiki where you are able to walk to many many locations and the beach. You don't face the water, nor can you see the water from the condo but, go downstairs and you are basically at the beach. It was extremely helpful to have a parking space in the garage, so we didn't have to worry about finding parking each time we came back. The only thing we faced was an extremely loud rattling window in the bedroom but was able to rig a fix to stop it from making noise. It was very windy when we were in town so likely you won't experience the noise unless it is windy. Overall, it was a great stay and had everything we needed to be comfortable.
