My kids & I had an amazing time at Mitchell's condo. If you're looking for something outside of the anemic large resort experience, this is perfect. The property has an open air concept with plantation shutters on sliding rails as the outer wall in the kitchen/living room area. I thought it was the coolest part of the place! Opening those up really connects you to the goings-on down on the street. The place has a real beachhouse kinda feel, which is what I was looking for. There is AC in the bedrooms so if you need a break from the humidity, they can get real cool if you keep those bedroom doors shut.
The location is great too, 5 min walk to the beach. Restaurants & shopping are everywhere, and uber can take you anywhere you don't feel like walking. You really don't need a rental car for your entire stay.
Aside from that, the property has everything we needed. Mitchell was a fantastic host & I think this place has the best value for your time & money that you'll find in Waikiki!
