Very clean, great communication with host. They even have two pairs of flippers, a cooler and two body boards.
You’ll book this place for the view but you’ll love the walking proximity to the beach, shopping, food and entertainment. Perfect view of the Friday night fireworks.
PARKING: Is super easy with the building being attached to the parking garage. Just ensure you understand the process for getting a multiple day pass. Upon getting there get a normal parking ticket, go park. Then go buy your multiple day pass. Upon driving out scan your initial ticket then immediately scan your multiple day pass. Once you do that, you can toss your initial ticket and just use your multiple day pass.
Unlike many place where a host wants your to more/less detail clean everything, the checkout procedure is simple - “wash dishes, take out trash, lock door.”

It was a really good area to stay close to a lot of things. Every Friday there's fireworks you can watch right from the balcony. I would stay here again!

The room is clean and well kept. This room is a corner room with a great view and also has a good view of the fireworks on Friday. There is a Red Lobster and ABC store nearby, so it was very convenient for us. I would stay in this room again when I visit Hawaii.

We both really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful condo. We loved the stunning view of the marina and the beach. The beach chairs were used every day. Location was great, walking distance to the beach and restaurants. We had a hard time to find the sink plug, messaged someone but did not get a reply. We took a chance with something i found in the drawer and it worked. Not really much to complain about with this one:)

I did a lot of research prior to this Thanksgiving week stay, choosing the Ilikai Marina (had stayed next door before). The condo is as advertised. Best thing was the always interesting 11th floor corner views of the marina, sunset, etc. Condo was clean and well-equipped. Nice Eaton Square grocery is only a 6-minute walk away. Most places in Waikiki are within a pleasant 20-minute walk, but you are away from the crowds. Good customer service when we had a few questions. Do note that the lanais in this property are really tiny, but the living space is nice.

Well, we did not get to stay here because when we arrived after a 10-11 hour flight, the room was a sauna and couldn't seem to cool. We had text our property mgr, and they just sent us a code. After several communications with both the property mgr. and captain cooks, finally a stand -in for the mgr. came to the room. After many phone contacts, he told us he could move us to the Ilikai Hotel. The location worked out better for us, but we did get a smaller, older, condo needing many updates, especially the bathroom and kitchen. The beach chairs were in pretty bad shape, really embarrassing. We had rented a condo with a separate bed/bath and nice kitchen. The bed was comfortable and the shower had good pressure. They did give us a partial refund, but the view was not as good. We don't plan on ever using Captain Cook's Mgt again!

Overall it was a nice unit. The tub could be removed or refinished and the doors could be replaced or touched up with some paint. I would say the bathroom needs to be totally redone. The furniture needed to be cleaned or replaced. There were 2 chairs in the table area that legs were broken.

We stayed for 3 nights and it worked out pretty well. PROS: The location worked well for us and was close to some great food and shopping. The condo was very clean and tidy. Both beds were comfortable. We were grateful the condo had AC and the views were beautiful.CONS: The sofa bed was not made up for us, despite the property management company knowing we had 3 guests. The bathroom left a little to be desired as the tub itself is in rough shape and the fan didn't do a great job circulating the air. Also, while some folks might love the bidet/toilet situation, it wasn't our favorite.Lastly, the mediocre communication from the property management company and property manager was disappointing. We called as soon as we arrived in Honolulu (per the instructions from the company) and received a text that the manager would call right back. An hour later, no call. I sent a text to let him know we were in town and requesting information about when to meet him for check-in. An hour later, he still hadn't responded. Calling the property management company was useless because they just direct you to call your property manager. So, I contacted him a third time and he said we could check in and he would meet us there. Only he never showed. I sent him a text as soon as we got into the condo and 30 minutes later he called to give me the run down of where everything was, how to access WIFI etc...only we'd already spent the prior 30 minutes figuring it out ourselves. I am sure there are other properties he's in charge of and that it was probably a busy time with multiple guests checking in at once. I just would have preferred better communication from the beginning.So again, not a bad stay overall, just really bad communication from the management company.

Overall we are quite impressed with this rental location and would love to stay here again soon!
The rental is located in the Ilikai Marina Condos, an older facility located right across the street from Waikiki Harbor (the listing does not state this anywhere so it took us some time to find the unit).
Unfortunately, due to the age of the building and circumstances out of the control of the rental owner's hands there were some things that need updating (elevator is not vented or air conditioned). However, we can tell that the unit has been recently renovated and can't wait to see the place once the final touches have been completed. The bed was seriously the comfiest we have ever experienced in a rental.
My fiancé and I had a wonderful honeymoon staying with Captain Cook Rentals and can't wait to get back out to the islands again.

Great condo. Beautiful views & lovely sunset. Clean & enjoyed the big fridge & microwave. Comfy bed. Right off the elevator. The airport shuttle dropped me off at "Ilikai Hotel & Suites" two buildings down tho so it was very confusing finding the condo at 1st. Make sure your transportation specifies Ilikai Marina Condos. Plenty of towels & beach chairs & a cooler. Rented an umbrella on the beach. The "jetted tub" looked cracked & kinda old. But did the job for washing off sand. Utilized the walkway bridge to the connected hotel a lot to get to lagoon & Beach access. Free netflix & comfy blankets. Free Friday Fireworks. Would definitely recommend!

Check in was easy, management was very helpful, well stocked condo and clean. The views are wonderful and very convenient location. Restaurants, Ala Moana Place mall, trolley/bus stops, grocery store and beach all within walking distance. It was great to have beach chairs and towels to use during our stay. We had a great vacation.

The view!! - never grew tired of it over one week. Loved that we were off of the busy beach. The marina is a little quieter. The condo is absolutely gorgeous and has everything and more needed for very comfortable living. The special touches made it feel like home: the carefully chosen dishes, awesome beach chairs, Netflix included etc. etc . This place has it all!!!

The view is fantastic and the location is super. A good little grocery store within walking and the bus stops are a 2 min walk. The bathtub is chipped and the handles rusty. The two small closets were stuffed full of beach gear. The balcony chairs are falling apart. The sofa could use a side table or two. No change of bed sheets for over 4 weeks’ stay. Stove top does not respond to settings well and the freezer melted our food. Manager set it at the highest level and then the food froze like a rock and melted intermittently. Ice cubes were one solid rock. We have never stayed at a noisier place. Although view and location are a dream, we will not rent here again.

Years of travel one always finds something that wasn't quite right, that was until we stayed here! Absolutely perfect. Clean, convenient, condo had everything you could think of from cooking to beach going. I also loved the decor; thoughtful, warm, classic. Booking was also very easy and thorough, all staff at Captain Cook were helpful and easy to work with. We loved this trip so much we already booked a repeat visit. Thank you Captain Cook - absolutely delightful experience.

This unit is perfect with very comfortable chairs and bar stools, excellent complete kitchen set up with large supply of dishes and wide variety of very nice appliances. Location is good with nice easy walk to beaches and shopping - just a few minutes to Ala Moana Center. Check-in was a breeze and we were able to get in early in the day. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Not a single negative to this place.

We truly enjoyed our stay here, this place is perfect for two people. The views of the marina and ocean is serene and beautiful. We did morning walks on the beach and was able to view Hilton Hawaiian Villages Friday night fireworks from our lanai, which was an added plus. We debated renting a car and ended up with one which we were happy that we did so we were able to get outside of Waikiki when we wished.
The kitchen is well equipped, as well as a nice selection of beach chairs, snorkels and coolers. My only one concern was the condition of the shower which could do with some updating. While the building is a bit older, everything was clean and the apartment is very quiet. Would definitely consider staying here again.

This property was perfect for a short stay in Oahu for my husband and I. The unit has an AMAZING view and great location. Was clean and easily accessed. Downside are the extra fee for parking but you need to know that going in. And the balcony is small but we still used it daily. We would recommend for a couple or family with small kids for the pull out couch. Would have been tight with our older kids with us. Overall great place to stay in Oahu.

Also the carpet needed a shampoo badly, manager offered to do it , but we declined that but I'm sure it will be done by now. Great spot would go again.

Everything is great with this property with the exception of two things: Parking is 23 bucks a day. And they lock up the laundry room at 9pm. Stupid. There's a little sign that says it is closed at 9pm but never noticed it because I assumed they allowed adults to do laundry all night. Laundry got locked in. Security let us in to get it, but of course he made it obvious he was very unhappy that his busy schedule was interrupted.

Upon arrival the condo looked just like it was advertised. The location, views of the harbor and ocean are amazing even though the lanai is extremely small and confined that there truly is only enough room for one person. We felt a bit uncomfortable with the fact that the widows open without screens. Visually it is appealing, seems a little dangerous on the 11th floor though. It was a little disappointing that there was a broken dinning room chair and refrigerator drawer but was not notified of these issues until I called the property manager. A heads up curiosity note would be helpful. Overall, the check in process was seamless, the unit was clean and well stocked with the necessitates one would need.

Beautifully placed property right on the Ala Wai Marina. And although amid the hustle of Waikiki, still quiet and private. A million dollar view from the 11th floor. Everything you could want within a 10 minute walk. Good building security.... and maintenance was top notch. The amenities inside the condo were complete for an extended vacation...just like home. Would we go back??? In a heart beat. Will we go back??? Absolutely.

Property was in a great location, walking distance to the rest of our family. Nice bar/pub downstairs. Only problem was that power was out our first morning until about 6:30 am and on our last day, as we were checking out, the water was shut off for the whole building. The unit itself though had great views and was well appointed! Would stay there again if ever in Waikiki again. Paul, property manager, was easy to contact and work with!

Never tired of watching the sunsets from this condo setting. Located toward the Ala Moana side of Waikiki but still an easy walk to all the shopping etc., in Waikiki. Just the right size of place for our length of stay (two weeks). Door lock was a problem the first couple of days but after contacting the Property Manager it was changed and fixed. My only comment would be that it is time that the bedding cover be replaced as it looked like its been there a while as there are other areas that could use some remodeling. But even with that it was the right location for us.
