Compared to the busy and touristy Waikiki area, Macy’s neighborhood is peaceful and relaxing (which is what we preferred). My husband and I love walking on our vacations and found that the beach and bars were a walkable distance, though we did use Lyft on occasion. The walk is especially pleasant because of the beach and view. We only rented a car for half of our stay so we could explore other parts of the island and we appreciated the included parking spot. Parking in Waikiki is notoriously tough and pricey.
The entrance to the room is easy to access, yet also tucked away in the back of the home so that you have some privacy. It also filters out a little bit of the noise from the street. About half a block north is a little shopping center which also has delicious and healthy food options! We ate at each of them at least once a day (especially Sunny Days and Da Cove which have lots of fresh fruits and healthy options).
We didn’t have time to visit Diamond Head, but it was beautiful to behold and also served as navigation on our long and windy walks. We always knew which way was home.
As for the room, we loved it. Number one: IT WAS SO CLEAN. The sheets, blankets, and towels were so fresh! It felt like I was home. The room also includes a cute little kitchenette which was perfect for a small cache of fruits, snacks, and adult beverages. The bathroom was spotless! Every single part of the room was immaculate and I felt like I could truly relax. The room also had a couple beach towels, boogie boards, and a beach mat which was tremendously helpful since we forgot our towels back home.
Macy was easy to get a hold of but also left us to our own devices. She was the perfect hostess. All in all, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ across the board. I would come back again in a heartbeat.
