This one bedroom condo exceeded my expectations in every regard. Very spacious livingroom/diningroom combination with separate bedroom, kingsize bed, tremendous storage with closets, armoire, dresser and end tables, spacious bathroom. Beyond fully equipped kitchen with everything I needed and more; beach gear including chairs, umbrellas, snorkels, beach toys for kids, beach towels. Decor is spectacular, earth tones, heavy, beautiful wood furniture, with tasteful and interesting island theme throughout. Marble floors throughout. Corner condo with three breathtaking views, the Ocean View, Diamondhead, and Ko'olau Mountain Range with its spectacular rainbows on a sunny day. Cross one street and you are on the beach; amazing.!!! Terrific for children with zoo and aquarium nearby and wonderful lagoon where the water ebbs and flows through a fenestrated wall, so children can't wash out to sea or be knocked down by waves, but has two excellent beaches on either side where surfers are out every day before sunup and excellent public beach parks with all the amenities.
Two cable TVs, DVD player, WiFi for in-house entertainment; excellent salt water pool and fabulous gym. Street fairs, festivals, parades, outdoor movie screen, Friday night fireworks, farmers' markets, tremendous number of excellent restaurants all just outside on Kalakaua Avenue, the main drag, and one block from extensive public bus transportation to everywhere on the island..
The icing on the cake is the people of Foster Tower, who are all so friendly and helpful; the security staff, the building manager and staff, the property manager, even the mailman is a gem and if you are lucky enough to meet Bear, the landlord and his lovely wife you are in for a great treat and lots of interesting, wonderful stories. They are the warmest, most generous couple I have ever met. My retirement plans have me moving on to other locations in the world, but I will always have very fond, wonderful memories of my six months here in Waikiki. Mahalo!!!!
