We loved the time spent walking around Waikiki and the harbor. We spent most of our days walking the city and taking it all in. We found a few good spots on the beach too and posted up there for a bit each day. Waikiki proved to be a beautiful and fun place to spend the weekend.
Our time spent in the unit was underwhelming unfortunately. This was the cheapest condo we could find for the weekend and I can see why. READ the DESCRIPTION as it states there is an additional charge to park your vehicle on property. Apparently the space is used by the owner even when guests are there (unless you pay him for it, and that additional charge is not included in the price quoted to you on AirBNB).
While that was a mild inconvenience (we were notified we could park across the river at the mall for free, a 5-10 minute walk), the big issue for us was cleanliness. Upon arrival we had to spend 30 minutes or so cleaning. Large debris (bottle caps, potato chips, food crumbs) were on the floor and most surfaces. Grossly stained throw pillow on the bed. A number of long, pink hairs all over the shower. Moldy shower liner. The host graciously allowed us to check in early and depart late (and thank you for that!) but I would have been fine checking in later on if that meant the place would have been clean. Just really hard to stay in a filthy place and be comfortable, so we were unfortunately quite uncomfortable for the weekend.
I’d say, spend the extra $10 / night or so and stay elsewhere where you don’t have to deal with all this goofy stuff. For us, the inconveniences, discomfort, and general goofiness around renting this condo made us wish we’d stayed somewhere else.
