Waikiki, a neighbour to Honolulu, much like the rest of Hawaii is known for its beautiful beaches, unparalleled beauty and amazing surfing. In fact, Waikiki is can probably be considered the unofficial home of surfing as the area was a retreat for Hawaiian royalty to surf in the 1800s. By the early 20th century Waikiki was known for its surfing and then later, the sport would catch on throughout other parts of the U.S and the world. If you’re looking for your tropical vacation getaway without the “touristy” hotel experience, then check out these amazing vacation rentals in Waikiki, Hawaii.
