Akamai Beach Essentials was easy to work with and very accommodating! Communication was great. We rented the Lounge Lizzards package for 3 days. Having the items delivered and picked up from our hotel was incredibly convenient. I chose Akamai over others because of the dropoff/pickup, the umbrella type, and the cooler type. The cooler is a hard case cooler that rolls on wheels, keeping our drinks nice and cold and easy to transport. We definitely got great use out of the rental and will reach out next time we are in Oahu! Thank you so much! read more

Using Akamai during our week in the Waikiki area made sense versus having to pay the exorbitant amount that the Hilton Hawaiian Village charges for lounge chairs and umbrellas. This way we could also use the 3 lounge chairs and umbrella we rented at Waikiki Beach and throughout our travels around the island to other beaches. It was easy and affordable. They dropped off the chairs and umbrella to our hotel and then picked it up at the end. Communication was easy, friendly and helpful. We'll definitely use them again next time we're in town! read more

I have used their services twice on two different vacations. Abraham and his staff are very nice. I would use them again and again and I think you should too. They treat you with Aloha whether you get a smaller or larger beach essential package. Mahalo! (Shoots) read more

Abraham is very kind and flexible. We had a great experience with him. Renting chairs and umbrellas are very affordable. He brought everything to the hotel we were staying. Very convenient! We saved so much money than renting those gears from the hotel. He had us to use sand toys since we have young kids. I highly recommend to use Akamai Beach Essentials if you go to Waikiki! read more

Abraham to the rescue! We needed some beach equipment and the place we were originally going to use didn't have everything we needed. We stumbled upon this page and reached out.

What are you waiting for give him a call! read more

Fantastic last minute save by Abraham. We were headed to Waimea bay on a hot day and realized we needed umbrellas (of course, at the last minute). I found Akamai beach essentials via yelp and Abraham picked up. He offered to meet us on the way to Waimea bay so I dont have to go out of my way to pickup and.. He even came to the hotel the next day to pickup the umbrella! Great experience and highly recommended! read more

Abraham made the process so easy and seamless. Very communicative and helpful despite my last-minute request for umbrella/cooler rental. He met us early in the morning at our hotel and provided helpful tips on how to best enjoy Hanauma Bay. The whole party kept reiterating over and over how helpful the umbrellas were from protecting us from the sun and making our visit comfortable. Afterward, we arranged a time and he picked up all the equipment at our hotel. The whole process was super helpful and I would recommend this service to anybody! read more

Abraham is full of aloha. He is very professional, kind and accommodating. My pregnant wife needed a beach umbrella and within minutes Abraham was there to deliver! I would 100% recommend for those planning on beach days while on O'ahu. His weekly rates are fair and his deliveries & pickups takes all the stress away. 100% would use again! read more

We rented from Akamai when I was in Oahu last year. Abraham was awesome in the on time delivery and pick up of our rental. The equipment was clean and in great shape. He was also great about providing local food place recommendation as well. We plan to be in Oahu in January and will contact Akamai again. Thank you. read more

Abe was fantastic. After seeing how much umbrella rentals were on the beach, I found Abe on yelp. We rented two umbrellas for 3 days and the price was super reasonable. The umbrellas were Tommy Bahama and in pristine condition. Abe was super easy to communicate with. He picked up and dropped off the umbrellas at my hotel in Waikiki at exactly the time communicated. Renting from him was super easy and allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more. I will definitely contact him again the next time we are back on vacation. . read more

We were looking for some last minute beach rentals, and got lucky that Akamai Beach Essentials was able to accommodate us. High quality gears, and the owner is really responsive. 5/5! read more

Last minute needed an umbrella for the beach. Found these guys randomly on yelp. They drop off the umbrella and chairs (or whatever combo/items you want to rent), then they come pick it up when you are done. They said latest they can come is 6-6:15p. They were very fast and very responsive. Definitely recommend them to anyone planning on renting umbrellas, chairs, coolers etc. here in Honolulu. Will use them again if i'm back. read more

The service here is great, especially bc it's a mobile service. They deliver and pick up. I definitely recommend this place. The owner was very friendly as well. read more

Abraham was extremely responsive over text. We were a little bit worried about renting since we didn't see many reviews but we were very glad we did! We originally wanted to go with another rental service but they took a while getting back to us and Abraham responded right away and was able to get us last minute umbrellas and chairs even though he wasn't in the area (a friend of his delivered our rental things to us). The rental beach and chairs were a huge lifesaver because we were going to the beach almost every day. That umbrellas are super sturdy and the chairs had drink holders. Our rental items were dropped off and picked up from our Airbnb right on time. It was extremely convenient. Abraham seems like a great and friendly guy. Would highly recommend renting from him. Tip! He mentioned that he's able to meet people for pick up and drop off at the airport~ read more

This company is awesome! They are super-responsive, accommodating, and to top it all off, they are environmentally-conscious! The owner was able to find us the chairs and umbrella that we needed, even at the last minute. He dropped them off at our hotel and met us while we were out a few days later to pick them up! He even gave us tips on local eateries to make sure that we enjoyed our stay. If you're looking for beach rentals done right, without price gouging or buying crap from Target that will end up in a rapidly-filling landfill when you leave the island, look no further than Akamai Beach Essentials! read more

I called Abraham by mistake and it was the best misdial ever. I was trying to reach Hilton Hawaiian rentals to see of it was really $70 for lounge chairs and an umbrella for the day (and yes, that is the correct cost). Abraham did not know if he had any inventory as it was a holiday weekend and things we reopening on the island. Her called his coworkers and worked a last minute miracle getting us 3 beach chairs and an umbrella. The cost for 5 days was 1.5 days of rental from the Hilton. Abe kept in contact by text and delivered our gear to us at the hotel. The chairs have a built in cooler and personals pouch and the umbrella corkscrews into the sand. Highly portable, easy to set up. Perfect for us to take all over the island to enjoy time at other great beaches. Highly recommend this service. Mahalo Abe! read more

Super friendly and convenient. Was staying at the Moana Surfrider but didn't plan to spent all our time there and wanted gear to take while exploring other beaches on the island. They were prompt and punctual in their communications (mostly by text) and in the drop off and pick up. They met us right by the hotel valet which was great and we timed the initial drop off with the valet retrieving our car. Saved us the time and hassle of having to locate a rental shop, pick up, and then return gear. Everything was in great condition! read more

We searched high and low looking for good quality, convenient and reasonably priced beach chairs and umbrellas for our stay in Waikiki. Most companies located on the beach or at strip malls either have long lines or poor customer service or both. Thankfully we found Abraham at Akamai Beach Essentials. He was courteous, welcoming and more than accommodating to ensure our stay was relaxed and hassle free. He delivered the rentals right to our hotel and picked them up too! He is knowledgeable about the area and gave us good tips on restaurants which was the icing on the cake. Do yourself a favor and don't look any further. Rent from Abraham and you won't be disappointed. * I'd give 6 stars if I could. read more

Needed some chair and umbrella rentals while in Waikiki. Found Akamai Beach Essentials and spoke to the owner Abraham. Delivered to the hotel, seemed like brand new chairs and umbrellas, the you cannot beat the price. Awesome service. read more

Abraham was quick to respond and giving us the pricing and availability of his beach rental gear. There is no minimum or extra delivery fees that some other places may charge. He came to our hotel to deliver the beach umbrella we decided to rent and even gave us so food recommendations about where to eat in the area. Once we were done with our umbrella rental we scheduled a pickup with him and he came to pick it up the next day. His pricing is much more reasonable than some of the places nearby the beaches. I would really recommend him to everyone! read more

I rarely write reviews on Yelp but have to do this for Abraham. Beach hopping is an absolute must if you do visit Oahu and having beach gear is a must. Renting gears from Abraham is probably the best decision I made in planning my trip. His gears are very good quality and he is extremely responsive, friendly and flexible in his services. I was visiting all the nice beaches in Oahu and I am consistently the most comfortable person at the beach while 80% of others have to leave early or hiding under the trees due to the sun. Do not be concerned about the few number of reviews, just call him and you will be glad you did. read more

This is the coolest, most efficient, inexpensive service ever. My family and I wanted to have a beach day and needed some chairs. Abraham called me and set up a time and dropped off the chairs and umbrellas for us at our hotel and picked them up. He also gave me a list of local restaurants to try. It was the best $60 I've ever spent! Thank you so much. We will definitely come back to Hawaii and use this service. read more
