This was our first time in Hawaii and this couldn't have been more perfect.
First location location location! When Richard writes it's a short walk to Waikiki beach, he means to say it's a one minute walk to sand & surf. The building is located in the middle of everything in Waikiki. 2 ABC stores (convenience store) on the block, laundromat inside the building and The Bus stops at corner. Some great local eateries next door (The Natural Health Food store, Ruffage, offers "plane ready" sandwiches for your flight back).
Richard was a fantastic host and gave us some awesome tips (his welcome guide book was brilliant). Not to mention, no need to buy beach towels, snorkel gear nor beach chairs - he's got them all for you. He even had Aloe Vera and sunscreen available - so thoughtful!
What we loved most about this place (other than the fantastic location) was the lanais! When we ate in (or brought take out inside) we ate outside with a beautiful view of the ocean in sight!
Mahalo Richard for an awesome place and you'll definitely see us back very soon!
