Staying at Kurt's place gives you the best of both worlds. When you look out the windows(they do open) you see the Honolulu Zoo and Diamond Head. If you turn head to the right you will see the ocean. You are located at the start of Waikiki Beach. Kurt provided us with easy to follow directions and easy access whenever we had a question. The amenities were all there, from filtered water, cooler, snorkeling equipment, lawn chairs, cleanliness and much more. Be sure to take advantage of this location to explore the many restaurants lining the beach for entertainment and dining. Even on the beach itself, we had access to performances. Close to Pearl Harbor and the Airport makes this an ideal location.
