Not too far away the best shave ice place on Oahu which is more of a local spot is called Waiola shave ice. At the international marketplace in Waikiki go to Liliha Bakery and get some coco puffs. Most tourists for some reason don't get them but this is pretty much all locals get at Liliha Bakery. Make sure to go to Leonard's bakery for malasadas.
Since you will have a car, the best Hawaiian food spot is called Helena's Hawaiian food. Get the pipikaula short ribs, laulau, poi, lomi salmon, and haupia. You may not like it all but try it.
In my opinion the best poke spot is in Waipahu called Taniokas seafood and catering. I could go on and on....

What are the odds, we stayed 1.2 miles away from this location in your map when we visited Oahu.. I still remember, COVID lockdown started a week after we came back with all flights suspended and we felt so lucky to be back home, specially coz it was our baby moon and would have been so troublesome if we had to stay there for any longer (read indefinite) period of time.
Not sure if you have been there before, but Waikiki beach is seriously over-rated, though walking distance from where you are staying - its crowded most of the time.. there are bunch of other prettier beaches you can go to while In Oahu.. One of the friends designed this itinerary that we also followed (well not fully, but it was really helpful in those pre-LLM days), you can modify it using chatGPT now and make it fit your travel plans:

Thank you so much for this. And no, we have not been to Hawaii yet (but a bit spoiled with great beaches from other places in the world in Australia and Asia while living there).
