Wow, Kevin’s place hits all the sweet spots. Good parking, A/C, sparkling clean, thoughtful touches of water and extra personal care items. The location is so quiet and serene, a needed break from the noise of Waikiki. Everything is amazingly close by. Waikiki is a less than 10 minute drive, gorgeous Diamond head and Kahala beaches are a five minute drive down the road, and an easy jump onto the highway for other adventures. You even get a view of the ocean as you approach the house from the top of the hill. It’s beautiful.
Kapiolani Community College is an easy walk away, famous for its early morning market on Saturdays ( and also Tuesday evenings ). It’s fantastic for the different foods and Hawaii touches. Get there early to order your Kimchi hot dog. KCC is also a beautiful, lush campus with a huge cactus garden circling the buildings. Diamond Head Theater is across the street from KCC, great for local plays. Location of Kevin’s house in Diamond Head cannot be beat.
If you do the fast drive to Waikiki, there’s free parking at Ala Moana mall. You can walk across to downtown Waikiki or take the bus in. We also drove in and parked, for free, at the Ward Shopping area next to TJ Max and Pier One.
The unit is a one bedroom, with great lighting, many charger ports for electronics, TV and movie and great book collection. Full kitchen for cooking, lots of great local eateries nearby. There’s a local Zippy’s nearby that we ordered Zip packs ( #3 is my favorite ) from by phone early each morning before heading out for boating, hiking, full day adventures. Really convenient.
We really did not know what to expect, but were so happy to have the privacy and convenience of this lovely location. Kevin thought of everything, and was quick to respond to questions.
Plus, the shower had great hot water! A needed bonus after a long day. We found the bed very comfy, lots of extra blankets and robes were provided.
We will be back, thank you Kevin so very much. You’ve clearly put a great deal of love and thought into your home, and it was awesome.
