Location was great!!!! Within walking distance to most of activities. Would definitely stay again but would recommend additional hooks for hanging clothing in bathroom. Limited space for clothing/belongings. Never could figure out how to work television with its components so just used our personal devices . Car space is difficult to get in even with an economy car.

The place was just as described. The building is very secure and quiet. Super easy check-in and check-out process. Well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Enjoyed the swimming pool and hot tub, as well. Good location: walking distance to Wikiki beach and the other less crowded beaches to the west of Wikiki. Many choices of places to eat nearby. We would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at this condo unit. It was clean, well-furnished and only 5-6 minutes away from Waikiki beach. The building has secure access and the unit had an allocated parking spot in the gated garage. It had free WiFi and the check-in/out was super easy. Communication with the property manager was minimal and that's because they made the check-in/out super easy. A bonus was it also had 3 beach chairs, an umbrella and cooler that we used on beach trips. I would consider staying here again the next time we're in Oahu.

Pros: In the heart of Honolulu. If city life and proximity to busy Waikīkī beach is your goal you will be very happy. Huge pvt. patio with ocean view is great for eating in. Plenty of space. Functional air conditioning in each room. Reasonably clean and up to date. Appreciate tiled floors which feel cleaner than carpet.
Cons: Expect bare minimum supplies and accoutrements. Pillows that feel like bags of gravel and only enough for maximum 5 of your guests- No way to lounge in bed. No umbrella for shade on patio, so plan to eat when the sun starts to go down. Hammock included in listing is absent. Barely acceptable kitchen supplies- think one plate per person, so you will need to wash after each meal, and no bowl large enough to make a family salad. You will need to buy absolutely everything including your trash bags, paper towels and TP. Mattresses very hard (Even the teenager used to a IKEA mattress was dissatisfied). One thin blanket per bed. Plan to buy your own beach supplies; only a broken umbrella, 2 camp chairs, 3 sets of snorkel gear and an inflatable ring is available. We left our purchased cooler behind for the next guests. To be clear, beach items were not promised. We underestimated the appeal of the north and east sides of the island. We would choose a more NE location next time to minimize time in traffic and the annoyances of the city.
Suggestion: a small outlay of cash for a few more low cost items will make this a real winner with happier guests.

This is the first time I have ever stayed at a vacation rental and it was fantastic! I stayed here with my parents, and three adults were able to stay very comfortably in the space. The amenities provided in the room, such as pans, dish soap, and laundry detergent, was more than enough for the five days we vacationed in Hawai'i. The room was very spacious and it was generous to have two TVs. The room had a charming feel to it.The BEST part was the view, whether its daytime or nighttime, my family loved going out to the balcony and having breakfast. It was very clean!The only con we encountered was the parking. We had to request a new spot because the parking for this room was on the fifth floor, which didn't have elevator access for my disabled father. Also, the gate to access the parking has a really short timer, it was quite scary to go through!All in all, the location and accommodations were perfect, and our property manager Vincent was great as well! We will definitely stay here again.

In general we enjoyed our stay. The unit is conveniently located within walking distance of parks, the beach and great restaurants. The lanais are awesome! The only improvements I can suggest that would make this the best property it could be, would be a few upgrades and a different property management company who truly cares about the clients' needs.

This condo did not disappoint. It is well equipped and has great amenities. We had a key fob issue. We were expecting two fobs for our stay and we got one fob for our room and the 2nd fob was for another unit. The phone in the kitchen was not working. May have needed batteries. Please include instructions on how to operate and recharge the remote controlled blinds.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo on our first trip to Hawaii. It was everything as advertised. It is a small one-bedroom which met our needs. The location was great, on a busy street in Waikiki, but quiet in the condo. The building is secure, with 24 hour security. We rented a car and parking was included in a gated garage. There are lots of good restaurants in walking distance. We only visited the beach a couple of times, but it is within a 10-15 minute walk.
Margo was a great host. She met us in the lobby to check us in. We were greeted with a bouquet of fresh roses and a fresh fruit bowl. The condo was well stocked with everything we needed and then some, including dishes, silverware and utensils. Amenities included a hair dryer, iron and ironing board, even a beach umbrella and beach chairs. Margo was available if we needed her for anything (we didn’t) but left us alone after checking us in. She gave us some great advice on places to eat and things to do in the neighborhood. I would gladly stay there again if I make it back to Honolulu.

I stayed here with my son and security was number one priority. The parking lot was gated in a 24 hour security building.
Plenty of places to eat and shop within 5 min walking distance! There’s a deli/convenient store right across from the street which had most of the things.
The place had everything we needed since I cooked most days. Bbq gas grill on the deck was very useful as well.
The property manager was really helpful and was able to manage everything we needed.
We definitely want to stay here again when we come back! Thank you!

The cleaner didn't show up to clean the unit and changed towels/blankets/pillowcases. We had to clean the unit and washed towels/blankets/pillowcases by ourselves and got refunded for $300. (The property manager didn't follow-up with the cleaner to make sure the unit ready to check-in.)
The laundry washer machine was broken on the second day we stay, and still broken by the time we check-out. (The property manager didn't update us the status of fixing the laundry washer machine until we chatted with her. Then, she contacted the vendor. They promised that they will come and fix it but it didn't happen.)
The toilet seat is old. They need to replace it.
The location is convenient, close to the beach and the waikiki shopping area. The big balcony is a plus but too windy since the unit on level 11.
Note: The unit's parking is parallel. We rent a large SUV 7-seat and it took us a while to park.

From the moment we stepped into the hotel, there was nothing but confusion and lack of communication. Hotel staff had no idea what we were talking about during check-in. It took them almost an hour to give us room keys and they said there was only valet parking, which is not true.
The big issue was lack of communication with the host. The front door came completely unhinged and couldn't be shut so I literally had to sit and wait for over 6 hours for it to get fixed. I called the host 11 times, left 4 voice messages and sent multiple messages on vrbo before I got a call back. The hotel manager even called them but got zero response. Completely wasted a day and missed an appointment because I couldn't leave the place wide open.
Needless to say, the frustration and hassle made the stay here not worth it. The lack of communication is unacceptable and very rude. There are too many other places to stay for the same price and location so I would absolutely not stay here again.

Staying here ruined my trip. Please do NOT rent here. I took my mom to Hawaii for the first time with my wife and right when we arrived at the property, we noticed the living room was flooded with water. Also the carpet in one of the bedrooms was also soggy and wet. I immediately contacted the host and she told us we could leave to go sightseeing and she would send someone to clean it. When we came back, the water in the living room was cleaned, but the carpet was more soggy and more wet than before. I told her this and was ignored. Then, everyday when it rained (in Hawaii it rains often) water would leak into the living room flooding it again and the carpet in the bedroom would get more soggy. The terrible wet carpet smell was intolerable and made that room inhabitable. I asked the host if she could move us to another room, she said she couldn’t and she won’t refund any of what we paid. We paid for a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom but instead got 1 inhabitable wet room and constantly lived in fear of the living room flooding each time it rained. We didn’t understand how this host has any positive reviews—did it never rain when other guests stayed here or did the leak only start happening during our stay? I gave the hotel a 1 star as well because they were rude and wouldn’t let us borrow towels when we told them we were flooding. We were only allowed access to pool towels. Terrible host and worst stay in my life.

The property was very clean and was as advertised. Nice location because it was close to the beach and plenty of places to eat. Its lists a washer and dryer. We used the washer but the dryer had directions on how to use it that had where you had to add water to the i believe dryer vent area and we weren't sure about that so we just dried our clothes in the bathroom but other people may be use to this type of dryer. Other than that this place was great and we would definitely stay again. Make sure if you have a car its a small compact car. We rented a Kia Soul and the passenger side is up against the wall so you have to get out of passenger side before you park. Luckily no one parked in parking spot in front of us because there was always a truck next to that spot and we wouldn't of been able to park if someone was in spot infront of us. This place is definitely worth the price we paid for location and cleanliness hopefully we can return again next year!

My stay in Waikiki was quite enjoyable overall. Here are some highlights and areas for improvement:Pros:The one-bedroom condo was well-furnished with a bedroom and a queen sofa in the living room.Having a TV in both the bedroom and living room was a nice touch.The amenities such as a dishwasher, washer, dryer, and ample dishware and cutlery allowed us to cook our meals at home comfortably.The bidet toilet was a pleasant and unexpected addition.Cons:It would have been convenient to have salt and pepper shakers available in the condo.The parking situation was confusing and frustrating. Conflicting information about the parking space numbers led to difficulty locating our designated spots. Clearer communication regarding parking would greatly improve the guest experience.Overall, despite some minor inconveniences, the condo's amenities and comfort made for a pleasant stay in Waikiki.

I have previously commented to the Property Manager that this property needs a complete "make over" with replacement of major appliances (range and refrigerator) to equal all other Captain Cook managed properties at Four Paddle. We have stayed in almost every property offered by Captain Cook at Four Paddle and this property does not measure up. The Property Manager indicated he would pass our evaluation on to the owner as it is their responsibility to upgrade the facility. We would not stay in this unit in the future unless it were to undergo a complete renovation. Unfortunately the condition of this property had a negative effect on our stay. As to the building, the new pool deck is fabulous and the remainder of the building continues to be maintained to a high standard. Also the wind this year was extreme which limited our ability to enjoy our stay completely. Next year we hope things will be different.

It’s a perfect condo in Waikiki. The apartment was clean, the neighbors never made any noise, the location is fairly quite and safe, and the price is reasonable. It's about an 8-10 minute walk to Fort DeRussey beach park, the Island Country Markets shop across the street is nice and extremely convenient, and Ala Moana is just a 5 minute drive. Over roughly a year, I found 3 small roaches - considering this is Hawaii, that's not bad at all. Very much enjoyed it here.
