WOW!!! I absolutely LOVED staying at Ali’s Beach Rentals. In looking for an airbnb for my first ever trip to Hawaii, i wanted a location right by the beach, with everything I needed in walking distance- stores, restaurants, desserts- Ali’l Beach Rentals was near it all. To top it off, there were food trucks RIGHT BELOW our place!!! Garlic shrimp, chicken curry, bento boxes- even Brooklyn style pizza!!! The ABC store was about a 30 second walk and the beach a 3 min walk there and back!!! We walked along Waikiki beach at midnight leading up into the wee hours of the morning. It was very safe, I didn’t feel like I was in danger ever. I woke up every morning at 8AM to go to the beach and the city was so lively! The “vibe” there is unmatched. Waikiki felt like home with all the friendly people we met. Not like my city where everyone judges you and is in a rush. Not only this, but there’s parking spots right by us at a rate of $40 per night. Not cheap, but we wanted to make sure we had a car- paying for parking is something you should plan for. The zoo is right by us as well as Diamondhead too!!! There are motor scooters and bikes across the street if you do not want to pay for parking. Overall, everything was just amazing- a dream come true, really. Thank you so so so much. My friends and I could not have wanted a better trip. We will be back!!!! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SPOT!! Everything is exactly as described. Look no further, this is your airbnb!!! Also, i know we left some food in the fridge- we had remembered on our way to the airport, so we are very very sorry for that. I hope it wasn’t too much of an inconvenience. Thanks again!!
P.S. We bought another HDMI cord so guests can watch movies on the DVD player. To connect to the DVD player, the cable HDMI cord HAS TO BE plugged into the TV at the same time so that the WIFI can connect. Hit input on the remote to connect to HDMI 2. Happy Watching! I had a lot of difficulty figuring it out, but no issue, i got it in the end. :)
