Replying to @Hanz tips for where to stay in oahu and where I stayed on my four night, five day trip to oahu I highly recommend staying in two different parts of the island so you can experience honolulu / waikiki and save money but then also get a true hawaii experience and get a more unique air bnb near a beautiful beach air bnb 1: https://www.airbnb.com/l/nW6LtbbP $390 located at aqua palms waikiki hotel benefits — • parking included • great location for fri night fireworks • walking distance to food trucks etc cons— • kind of in a meh place of waikiki where all the hotels are. super touristy and not much around • beach isn’t walking distance • outdated hotel / nothing special kailua air bnb: https://www.airbnb.com/l/tk32LG7S total for two nights $490 positives: - right near kailua beach (beautiful beach) - views were stunning - local vibes / experience - closer to other amazing beaches like waimanolo - free parking in driveway - cutest pups - nice air bnb hosts cons: - pricey - deep in the neighborhood so had to drive everywhere even tho it was super close to beaches - ants in kitchen / wouldn’t cook here #oahuhawaii #honoluluhawaii #solofemaletraveler #oahuairbnb #oahuguide
