We loved staying at “our mermaid house”, as my daughter called it. You can not find a better location in Waikiki for easy access to the beach, picture postcard views from the balcony and also fewer crowds and quieter night life. The five minute walk to the lagoon at Hilton Hawaiian Village is priceless (along with the Friday night Fireworks show which can be seen from the balcony). It’s also a very short walk to Magic Island, Ala Moana shopping mall, Target, grocery stores, and restaurants. We didn’t rent a car for most of our trip and found it very easy to get around on foot or by bus (bus stops very nearby).
Elisabet has everything you will need, (especially in the kitchen) and tons of fun things to use at the beach.
We also rented her SUV for a few days and the car was very clean and she also had some beach gear in the trunk!
Check in was easy and communication with Elisabet was great.
There can be some traffic noise on Ala Moana at night, but we used a sound machine that effectively drowned out the noise.
We highly recommend the Mermaid House and would love to stay again!
