Travel Note

Airbnb or VRBO

There are lots of airbnbs on the North Shore of Oahu. North Shore includes,: Mokuleia Waialua, Haleiwa, Pupukea, Sunset Beach, Kahuku, and Laie. Short term rentals are technically “illegal” on the North Shore—so you may find a lot of places mention “30 day rentals” (to make it legal). If it says that..message them that you wanna stay for shorter period of time and lots of times they will let you! If can, try to find a place in Mokuleia, Waialua, or Haleiwa to avoid the “turtle traffic”. If you prefer not to stay in North Shore, there are lots of airbnbs in town such as Waikiki.

Hotel

Aston at the Waikiki Banyan

If you are more into nightlife and bars and being in the city, then Waikiki is for you! This hotel offers casual suites with a kitchen. You can either book on their website or find units on Airbnb

Hotel

Turtle Bay Resort

If you don’t mind spending a little more, this is a beautiful place to stay…and newly renovated! They also have condos/villas to rent that you can find on Airbnb. It’s the closest hotel to the venue, about 18 miles away, but keep in mind anywhere from Waimea to Kahuku you may run into "turtle traffic" at Laniakea beach that turns a 30min drive to a 1-2hr drive.
