Rob got his real-estate license last year and promptly decided it was time to purchase a vacation rental in Waikiki, one of the most expensive and challenging locations in the islands to buy real estate.
We’ve lived in Hawaii for over 30 years. It’s expensive here, especially downtown. This is part of the reason why we held out for a rental property that’s reasonably affordable for our guests. We understand that on the top of many first time visitors wish lists is a room with a view of the ocean. We get it, but we also believe a window is no place to take in paradise. Instead, take in the sunset local style with the sand between your toes, or while enjoying a Mai Tai at any one of a dozen restaurants at water’s edge, and walk home, a few blocks away, to stay in our place for the night.
Why the Owner Chose Waikiki, Honolulu, HI, USA: We searched for six months and stayed at several other rental properties, before deciding on this studio in the heart of Waikiki. We prefer it because it affords privacy, security, and access to attractions. If you’re looking for a private oasis where you can enjoy some real downtime in between rounds at the beach, a sunset dinner cruise, or shopping at the world famous International Market Place, then this studio is the perfect place for you to stay.
