We can highly recommend James' place in Waikiki! His place is exactly as described with lots of amenities and beach gear. The beach is a very short walk away, as are lots of local restaurants and shops. The parking situation takes a little figuring out but it is handy knowing you have a spot for the car close by. One thing worth mentioning is that if you are a light sleeper to bring some ear plugs - since you are in the heart of Waikiki it can be a little noisy. We will be back!
