We chose Sean’s place mainly because he is a 'Super Host' and also the setting was perfect for 2 couples. This would also suit a family. Although there is no view of Waikiki Beach, the 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment is located just half a block away from the beach, just across the road from the Waikiki Marriott Hotel. There is an ABC convenience store next door that has nearly everything that we needed. For our bigger grocery shopping we walked a couple of kilometers up the road to a full-sized Safeway supermarket.
The unit was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed to cook breakfast and some dinners. Sean supplied beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, and even snorkeling gear. There is air conditioning in both bedrooms and the living area and a 3 TV's in both bedrooms in also in the living room. Sean also provided high quality shower gels, shampoo and conditioner. The washer and dryer were very large and convenient and Sean provided laundry soap and dryer sheets. He even visited us to make sure we knew how each of the appliances worked.
During our stay, we went on a few tours that we arranged and boarded from the Waikiki Marriott hotel that is literally across the road. There are lots of shops and restaurants close by and we were never short of entertainment.
Sean made every effort to communicate with us throughout our stay and to make sure we’ were looked after. He made us feel welcome. We will definitely stay with Sean at one of his apartments next year and we will make this trip from Sydney a holiday & shopping annual event.
