A friend who stayed prior to our listing on Airbnb described her experience:

Simply put …it's paradise. It’s difficult to put into words the beauty and serenity of Zen Oasis Waikiki….it’s absolutely an oasis of visual splendor combined with luxurious comfort. From the 180 degree view overflowing with everything Waikiki to the heavenly bedding, bidet in the restroom, plush robes, top of the line kitchen appliances nothing was left out!

From the minute you wake up to the sight and beauty of rainbows filling the horizon, there is no shortage of natural beauty beyond belief. You can see flying fish and sea turtles just below in the marina to the chance of seeing whales frolicking in the distance. Magic island, surfers, sailboats and parasailing fill the view from edge to edge. In the distance the mountains and crystal blue turquoise waters are endlessly visible. The unobstructed sunsets will take your breath away!!

There is no shortage of restaurants or luxury shopping within walking distance.

Finally, the host, Sandra, is the most lovely, warm accommodating hostess that wants nothing more than to make your visit perfect! She knows the island well and offers such an amazing experience.

Zen Oasis truly is the most fabulous place to escape and be surrounded by all the beauty Hawaii has to offer. It was difficult to leave! I will be back!!
