Location, Location, Location!
My wife and I rented Maurie ‘s condo for a week in December 2019, and had a very positive experience. The condo is centrally located with the beach, trolley/bus stops, Duke’s statue, bars, shops and restaurants one short block away. Contrary to other reviewers, we found the area reasonably quiet. The provided beach chairs and umbrellas were highly appreciated as the cost to rent was $30.00 USD for 2 hours! The condo is small, but it was well equipped and had a full size fridge, microwave and stove. We loved watching the sunset with a glass of wine from our 8th floor balcony. TV stations were somewhat lacking but how much time do you spend in your room anyway. Maurie was quick to respond to our questions, he was very accommodating and provided good tips on restaurants, bars and activities. Waikiki can be quite expensive, but we enjoyed the music and happy hour at Tiki’s, the 90 minute sunset catamaran cruise off the beach for $35.00, reasonable prices at the Cheesecake Factory, and the delicious food and beers of the Yard House. The view from rooftop bar at Sky Waikiki is spectacular especially at night, but be prepared for musical tables and silly rules about where you can enjoy happy hour drinks. With Maurie’s condo you are in the exact same location as all the big fancy hotels but at a fraction of the price!
