Our family of five, two adults and three kids, stayed at Tom's Waikiki condo for over a month. We first booked another condo more centralized in Waikiki, but canceled due to the suggestions of friends. We're fortunate we did because Tom's condo was the perfect size and in the perfect location. It is an end unit located in a building that was away from the touristy noise and traffic, yet was still only a five-minute walk to the famous Waikiki beach, restaurants, and shopping centers. We had a car during our stay and was able to bypass the Waikiki traffic since the condo was near the eastern outskirt. For those without a car, it's a two-minute walk from the condo to the bus stop which provides access to Ala Moana Shopping Center and even the North Shore. Secondly, the view from Tom's condo was breathtaking. We spent hours just staring out from the living room, bedroom, and balcony. We had a view of both the ocean and diamond head. Lastly, this location is perfect for avid runners. There's a constant breeze throughout the day in front of the condo that's ideal for stretching and running routes (Ala Wai canal, diamond head, KCC farmers market, and park/zoo) are all around the corner.
The condo itself was clean, well-stocked, and move-in ready. Pots/ pan, dishes, tupperware, soap, hand sanitizer, first aid kit, etc. were provided as well as beach towels and chairs. There was even a welcoming gift of chocolate macadamia nuts. I particularly appreciated that there were cleaning supplies and a vacuum in the condo.
Tom was great about contacting us if we needed anything, quick to reply when we had questions, and was easy to talk to. He contacted us regarding construction in the condo, but it never impacted us since we were always out on excursions.
Overall, we felt really fortunate to have found Tom's condo!
