I can't recommend Jetsun's place enough.
The location, alone, was more than we could have asked for. We were literally steps away from Waikiki Beach. This allowed us to swim and sunbathe for a bit every morning to enjoy the cool morning breezes and a relatively empty shoreline before taking on the day. Even during peak hours (which we observed in passing), the portion of the beach nearest the unit was far from the more crowded areas closer to the larger resorts. As a bonus, Jetsun has a great stash of beach gear that we made use of.
The unit itself was perfect for us. I loved being able to go in and out quickly without having to meander through a massive hotel. The decor was beautiful. It was wonderful to come back from a day of adventures to a well-appointed, comfortable space. We were really able to recharge and relax every night. It was nice to feel at home even as tourists to a very touristy location.
The amenities were fantastic. On nights when we wanted to veg out or during times between activities, the RokuTV allowed us access to TV and Netflix (Dodgers fans: you can get SportsNet LA out here!). Though we did not cook, the kitchen has most things one would need. We were not prepared to sweat as much as we did. The humidity caused us to work quickly through the clothing we packed. However, this was not an issue thanks to the washer and dryer that came with laundry supplies. We used the dryer often to dry our towels as we found the humidity slowed the ability to air dry (causing funky towels).
We stayed in Hawaii for a week with plans to venture outside of Waikiki onto the North Shore and east/west coasts. For this reason, I cannot explain enough how phenomenal the included parking spot. We rented a car and were able to rest assured that we didn't have to worry about transportation for the few time when our destination was beyond the MANY things we could walk or rideshare to.
Jetsun was a wonderful host. Instructions were clear and easy. Though I didn't need to contact him, I was confident that he was available to help, if needed.
Previous reviews mentioned noise through the windows at night. Our party didn't think it was that bad. The unit is located in a bustling area. Given the steady flow of pedestrians and vehicular traffic (lots of tour buses loading/unloading at neighboring large hotels), noise is to be expected. I don't think it lessens at all how much of a gem this unit is. It was hard to leave!
If I ever have the chance to return, I'll look Jetsun's place up first with fingers and toes crossed.
