Shannon’s place is an excellent option for Waikiki. It was our first visit to Hawaii and we loved how accessible and easy to get in and out her place was. Even when you wanted to get off the beaten path and experience a great local restaurant not frequented by tourists, it was all walking distance. At the same time, after experiencing all of the excitement of Waikiki (including seeing the Dallas Cowboys arrive for a preseason game), it was nice to go backs to Shannon’s clean and air conditioned apartment to sleep off your suntan (or burn) and Mai Thai (plural). highly recommend to those new to Waikiki looking to be center of the action while having a sanctuary to rest after all the fun. Shannon herself was very friendly and helpful with tips in advance of the trip. Highly recommend.
