Recent Waikiki Sunset Reviews


Very pleasant stay, and we were very happy with the condo. The owner was very helpful, and communication was excellent. The condo was in a great location—close to the beach, stores, and restaurants. The rooms were clean and spacious for the four of us. The living room had a double sofa bed that was very comfortable, and the bedroom had a double bed as well as a sofa bed. The kitchen had all the supplies needed, and the pots and pans we used were in very good condition. The owner was so thoughtful and had prepared four bottles of water for our arrival in the fridge! We arrived at the end of August. The air conditioning and overhead fan were great! The balcony was fantastic, and we were fortunate to watch the sunset. We had no issues with the elevator, and they sent reminders in advance about its closure for maintenance from 8 am to 9 am on Wednesday. We didn’t rent a car here in Waikiki, but this location was very close to the bus stop—just one street away. There was only one issue with the double bed: the frame of the bed was too wide compared to the mattress, and three of us bumped and bruised our legs on it. It would be nice if some protectors could be added to the frame to prevent accidents, especially considering the safety of kids. Overall, we strongly recommend this place—it's clean, quiet, convenient, and reasonably priced. The photos are all true to the real world.

The condo is bright & airy, nice view of Diamondhead/Waikiki Beach The hosts are extremely polite and answer any questions I had immediately I would definitely stay there again 😊

My parents and I had a great stay at Courtney's condo. We were a very short walk away from Waikiki and Kuhio beach and all the excitement there as well as a short walk away from Rainbow Drive In. The parking in the garage was plentiful and easy to find and Courtney kindly had the cleaner text me as soon as the room was ready so we could get into the unit before the official check in time. The most important part is the condo is probably the cleanest vacation rental I've ever stayed in and that's hard by a beach.

Great location and condo. Will definitely consider coming back to this place as views from the 35th floor were amazing

Everything was just as the listing showed. I felt very comfortable staying in the unit alone because the parking is part of the building. I would definitely stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The good Captain Cook was easy to work with and a great company overall. The unit was dated, but clean. In a great location. Walkable to the beach, stores , restaurants. Had no issues with parking.The bad- we booked this unit for the location and pool. The pool was closed for maintenance two days of our stay. The elevators were also out of order intermittently for two days. We were notified by a sign inside the elevator. Had I known of these issues, we would have either not booked this unit or planned to be on excursions during this time period. As it was, we were on the 24th floor, so we needed up being trapped inside for several hours. We did receive a small refund, but really not worth it considering the impact. According to other long term guests, the elevator issues are common. The pull out sofa does not have a mattress- it's a 4inch piece of foam suitable for a child only.

The property was clean. The property manager was very accommodating. And easy to get a hold of. Centrally located. Just a few minutes walk from the beach. Parking was great, no complaints. I would definitely stay here again

This condo has awesome views and was very clean. The only thing that I found that needed to be upgraded was the shower head. It didn't spray good and it felt like pins and needles hitting your body. The chairs on the lanai were hard to get up or down in as they didn't swivel to make it easier.Walking distance to all the shopping and restaurants.Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended. .

My Mother, Daughter and I stayed here for a week and this place did not disappoint. The views are breathtaking, the condo was a great size and was so well equipped, and the beds (even the hyda-couch) were very comfortable. We bothered our contact for the condo (Byron) a few times when we first arrived (because we didn’t read our instructions well enough) and he was so responsive. The place is clean, had everything we needed for our stay, and all three generations of us told each other that we would tell our friends to book here if they were coming to Waikiki. One wee complaint, so that y’all know this review is for real, there was no plug for the kitchen sink. 💯 manageable. If you’re thinking of staying here, don’t let the extremely odd review dissuade you, this place does not disappoint!! Thank you for having us 😊

This was a small, clean condo, perfect for my daughter and I. The building itself was undergoing lots of renovations but once inside the room it was updated and cozy.

We liked the location because it is 2-3 blocks from Hub of activity -stores, resturants & bars in Waikiki. Still close but far enough away so quiet and fewer people where Condo is located. We also loved that it was just 1.5 - 2 blocks from quieter part of Waikiki beach - the East end.

Reviewer Comments: 大人3名幼児1名で1週間滞在しました。予約からチェックアウトまで日本語でやり取りが出来たので安心して滞在出来ました。お部屋は広く清潔で、景観も良く、駐車場も無料で利用出来た為、リーズナブル且つ効率よく観光出来ました。一通りの調理器具が揃っており、中でも炊飯器が象印製品だった事もあり、調理面での満足度は非常に高かったです。滞在中にホテル側の計画停電があったのは想定外でしたが、プロパティマネージャーの方からご連絡頂いていた事もあり、大きな問題も無く過ごせました。停電後、洗面所の電源が使用出来なくな

Courtney our host, made us feel very welcomed and we can see her efforts in making our stay as enjoyable as possible. We would definitely stay here again!

Look no further for an immaculately maintained home away from home. It is stocked with quality items like what you’d have in your own home. No “starter” supplies. In the past I’ve had to purchase items such as toilet paper, paper towels, bath soap/shampoo to supplement whatever was supplied. Cupboards contain sets of items, not mismatched plates or thoughtless collection of kitchen items. The condo is in a typical dated building but its location can’t be beat. No need to drive through busy Waikiki. Parking is a HUGE plus! Recently the entire building was being “updated.” During the days when water or power were not available Courtney went beyond expectations. She sincerely offered to do anything to make our stay enjoyable. This just shows what kind of person she is. Thank you, Courtney!

We enjoyed the condo, had everything we needed! Good location, glad parking was included! The laundry room does have an app you can download on your phone to pay, you dont have to get quarters for laundry! The market in the building was very convenient for water and snacks. Also you can rent a beach umbrella at the market!

The location was perfect and a short walk to the beach. You could see the gorgeous Waikiki sunsets from the balcony. Great view of Diamond Head. The condo was well stocked with everything we needed for the week - plenty of bath and beach towels, cleaning supplies, dish soap, laundry soap. Would definitely stay there again.

10/10 Loved our 5 days here! Exactly like web site photos - everything we needed & that view every morning was pure joy. For us location was perfect - wander to everything we wanted to see. Communication with owner was seamless & having parking was a life saver. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Loved having access to laundry and a nice pool. Only thing I would change is courtesy of security guards and repair the latch and lock on the door did not ever shut quite secure.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit had everything we wanted for a very affordable price. The one thing to know is that the parking garage has a height limit of six feet which means it will not accommodate a full size suv. We had to exchange our suburban for a minivan in order to park.

My family of 4 enjoyed our stay. Tom the property contact/owner provided clear communication leading up to and during our stay. The kitchen was great for being able to have relaxing breakfast in, and for making meals on evenings after long days out in the sun. Views from the lanai and bedrooms are 😍. It was great to have beach towels and chairs included, as it was less to haul from Wisconsin! The parking pass was a huge plus for us. The laundry room and trash chute are so close!! We would definitely stay again!!

We had a lovely 12 day stay. The cleanliness and all the items in the condo made us feel right at home. We even made cookies and brownies one night. The beach is right down the street and the free parking was everything. The shower was awesome as the water pressure was perfect. The host is very responsive and was enjoyable to work with. The condo had everything we needed. From a beach cart with umbrellas and chairs to a cooler bag and good toilet paper, LOL. Beach towels and makeup towels, shampoo and conditioner. And just when I went looking for Aloe there was some of that there, too! If staying in this city again, I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. Thank you!

Great location. Great views. Clean condo. Owner, Tom, was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I highly recommend staying here. If renting a vehicle just be aware that only one floor of parking garage can accommodate a large vehicle. Spots are first come, first served and are limited. I suggest renting a small to medium car for better ease of parking.

Room was as advertised. Our room - no view, but rooftop fantastic. Bathroom tub and toilet should of had hand bars for ease for older folks. Walk to beach was wonderful.

August 2024

The description is accurate and the condo is nice with beautiful views. I should have known staying on the 32 floor includes wind gusts knocking over lamps and slamming shut windows and doors, but didn’t think about it and it was a bit unnerving. The part we disliked the most was the elevator. Numerous stops, long waits, service people with the largest service carts, repair and equipment service people and parts, no digital displays to determine where the elevators are except in the Lobby, unfinished elevators., having to let full elevators go and wait for next ones, crowding in. The communication with Cook Resorts and contacts could have been better. There was a full floor loud alarm in the dead middle of night and no one ever got back to me about it, the only response I got was a question about it. We didn’t know if we should evacuate or what it was. Parking lot was challenging at times and designed so everyone has to crane necks to see if there’s parking. 1 washing machine and dryer per floor. This was budget friendly, clean, comfortable beds, lots of closet and drawer space, nice central A/C, and location great for walking into Waikiki for great dinners, but our preference is a beach house and we did that this trip as well on North Shore, so that could mostly be why we weren’t as happy here, just preference.

After traveling all day with multiple delays, we were very tired. We arrived at the property only to find we were locked out. The property owner did not give us checkin procedures prior to arriving and it took us over an hour sitting in the hallway to get access to the property. I’m very unsatisfied with the poor communication we had prior to arrival. Since we arrived the communication improved. But overall it was disappointing. The property during the time we were there was under some maintenance and we were without power and air conditioning the entire time we were there. Even though we were made aware of this, but unfortunately we were unable to cancel and book another place because we were informed only a week prior to occupancy. We tried to make the mosey of it but I would not recommend renting this unit in the future.

I booked this place as it seemed to meet all our needs for accommodations plus affordability. It is a simple unit in an old building but it had everything we needed. The bed slept amazing, I loved that it had AC and it was close to the beach. However, on day five of 9 we got a notice slipped under our door that the last four days we would have intermittent power and no AC (90 degree days). There was no warning and we were not told this when we booked. Unfortunately we could not finish our stay at this unit. Byron the property manager Text us two options to relocate but they did not have the same requirements as this unit. He offered a slight discount for the inconvenience but I have not been able to get a response back from him since we left. I had to find a hotel last minute and incur extra cost just so we could have the same level of a room I paid for up front. I didn’t expect Captain Cook to take on the entire expense of us leaving but to not hear from them again is unacceptable. I will never use Captain Cooke again. Use caution when booking and just know you could get surprised by brown outs with little to no warning. I will say, if this hiccup didn’t happen the unit would’ve been fine and met our needs. Simple, understated but did the job, until we had no power and AC on the 18th floor for the majority of our final four days. Note: there are food options nearby to walk to and easy to Uber. The beach distance is also walkable but in Aug the buildings blocked the sunset.

The location and proximity to the beach is exactly as pictured on the website. The beach is just a few steps away, plus shops and restaurants all around. The neighborhood is busy but the hotel is quite. The kitchen had items that you need as described by the manager. No problem getting inside the room. Very clean and orderly. The 10th floor roof deck view was beyond amazing. I will definitely stay at this same hotel when I get the chance to visit Hawaii again.

Our family comes to Oahu every year for the last 6-7 years. We have rented numbers of units on other HI islands as well. By far this property is the best yet! We are a family of 4 and typically the units we rent are lacking when speaking of having enough room. This is not the case with this unit. The view from the room on the 35th floor was amazing. There are breathtaking views from the living room, bedrooms and even bathroom! The unit is well kept and up to date. Tom the owner was easy to work with and we had no issues during our 9 night stay. I would highly recommend this unit!
