This is a great rental. I came to Hawaii with my wife and 2 yo son. We wanted a centrally located (in town) airbnb that was close to a mellow beach for our boy and a surfing beach. We used to live in HNL so we thought this would work out and it did. The windsock beach in Waikiki is remote enough from the rest of strip and a good beach for children. I got to surf at Diamond Head. Kapiolani park is a great place to kick around a ball and chill, and pretty much across the street. The Paki playground was right next to us. There are lot's of restaurants on Monserrat and Kapahulu as well as a nearby Safeway for groceries. You can walk to a lot of places! This is a great place for an active family or small group. Only slight drawback: might want to bring a child's feeding chair.
