Fantastic location in Waikiki! Clean and comfortable basecamp for all our adventures. Chris was responsive to our inquiries and everything was as described. We would definitely stay here again!

I believe some beach gear was listed in the posting but we didn't utilize it, so I can't comment on that. The personnel at the C-store on the 1st floor were pleasant and helpful as well.

Some other info that might be helpful for your trip:
If you've never been to Waikiki: there is an ABC store on pretty much every corner were you can get some food items, sunglasses, hats, sunscreen, beach toys, drinks, souvenirs, etc. Don't expect a killer deal on things but very convenient if you forget, lose or run out of something. Many stores and restaurants are also open very late into the evening and open quite early in the morning. Considering the climate: it's remarkable how few pests/insects there seem to be. I've spent a little over 2 weeks total in Hawaii at different times of the year. I've never seen a mosquito or gnat...and I am a magnet for both.

We were fortunate during our stay to get some good spots but parking can be a challenge in this area (in my opinion this is a challenge regardless of where you stay). There is a parking garage below the building at $25/day but the spaces are pretty tight; I would be afraid of getting doors banged by other users of the space.

During our stay we had a rental car for a couple of days to explore the island a bit and go hiking. However, there is plenty of public transportation available and Waikiki is very walk-able. If your plan is to stay around the beach area, I would recommend taking a shuttle or bus instead of getting a rental car. Speedishuttle is about $16/person at this time. The city bus is $2.50/person (which we utilized for our return to the airport). Taxis are also available. I used one from HNL to the Ala Wai small boat harbor and it was about $34; could be an ok value depending on your party size.

Hopefully some of this info was helpful. Highly recommend this unit. Enjoy your trip!
