Overall my family had a great time at Elaine's place.
We walked to the beach every morning to surf at Waikiki and stayed until it got too crowded. Then grabbed breakfast at a nearby store or restaurant which were all walking distance away. We had a car so most of the day we were exploring different parts of the island. In the evening we would takeout food somewhere and come back to the room, open the lanai doors and eat while feeling the cool evening breeze and watching the sunset with a great view of the city and ocean. Rinse and repeat for 1 week.
We didn't have any problems, and Elaine always responded quickly with every question we had.
