Waikiki is arguably Hawaii's most famous neighborhood, located on the south shore of Honolulu, Oahu. It's a vibrant, bustling hub that perfectly blends urban energy with a quintessential Hawaiian beach experience, making it a top destination for vacationers.
Here's what you can expect when visiting Waikiki:
The Beach Life:
Waikiki Beach: This iconic stretch of soft white sand and turquoise water is the heart of the neighborhood. It's perfect for sunbathing, swimming, or simply watching the waves roll in with Diamond Head as a stunning backdrop.
Water Activities: The calm, warm waters are ideal for all levels. You can easily take a surfing lesson (it's the birthplace of modern surfing!), try stand-up paddleboarding, go snorkeling to see colorful fish and even Hawaiian green sea turtles (like at Turtle Canyon), or enjoy a relaxing catamaran cruise (sunset cruises are highly recommended!).
Family-Friendly Shores: Certain sections like Kuhio Beach are protected by seawalls, creating calm, shallow pools perfect for children and new swimmers.
Shopping & Dining:
Kalakaua Avenue: Waikiki's main thoroughfare is a lively promenade lined with a dazzling array of shops, from high-end luxury boutiques (like those on Luxury Row) to local souvenir stores and surf shops.
Shopping Centers: Explore major destinations like the Royal Hawaiian Center, Waikiki Beach Walk, and the beautifully redeveloped International Market Place, which offers a blend of shops, dining, and nightly Hawaiian entertainment.
Culinary Delights: Waikiki boasts an incredible variety of dining options. You'll find everything from casual beachfront cafes and food trucks to upscale restaurants offering Hawaii Regional Cuisine and diverse international flavors, especially a strong presence of authentic Japanese cuisine.
Attractions & Activities:
Diamond Head: Hike to the summit of this iconic volcanic crater for breathtaking panoramic views of Waikiki, Honolulu, and the Pacific Ocean. It's a moderate but rewarding hike.
Kapiolani Park & Honolulu Zoo: Enjoy a leisurely stroll through Kapiolani Park, a large green space at the eastern end of Waikiki, which is also home to the Honolulu Zoo (perfect for families).
Waikiki Aquarium: Discover Hawaii's diverse marine life at this historic aquarium, located right on the shoreline.
Cultural Experiences: Look for free hula shows, live music performances, and cultural events often held at various shopping centers and public spaces. You can also visit statues of Hawaiian royalty, like the famous Duke Kahanamoku statue on the beach.
Nearby Day Trips: Waikiki serves as an excellent base for exploring other Oahu attractions, with tours readily available to places like Pearl Harbor, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and scenic spots on the North Shore.
Vibe & Atmosphere:
Waikiki is known for its vibrant energy, often described as a bustling resort town. It's a highly walkable area, making it easy to get around on foot. While it can be crowded, especially the main beach sections, it offers a dynamic atmosphere with plenty to see and do both day and night. You'll find a mix of international visitors and locals enjoying the unique blend of city and beach life.
In essence, Waikiki offers a comprehensive vacation experience, blending relaxation on world-famous beaches with exciting urban amenities, cultural insights, and easy access to Oahu's wider attractions.

The unit has a full kitchen with large refrigerator, microwave/convection oven, and induction stovetop.. It is stocked with basic spices to help make cooking easy.
Two queen beds provide a comfortable sleep. Complimentary Wi-Fi, cable TV, and air conditioning add to the comforts! The furniture has been updated in late 2021, including new mattresses. Kitchen was remodeled in 2022.
The Waikiki area is walkable, and in fact, we suggest you walk as much as possible since parking is difficult to find in Waikiki. The Bus system on Oahu is excellent. Bus stops are located at the street corners next to the building. There are also car rental agencies throughout Waikiki.
Parking spot - assigned spot in basement of building. We recommend that you rent a smaller vehicle as the spot assigned to the unit has a wall on one side and a lower ceiling which make it difficult to get in and out of the vehicle if it's too large.
Noise - since we are centrally located in a resort area close to restaurants and bars, the area is noisy. You will hear urban noises from traffic and people.
