The condo was perfect! We had an incredible stay for my family of four. The space was comfortable, well stocked, and the spectacular sunset view is unbeatable! The location is great and we were able to walk easily to restaurants, shops, etc. on Friday night, the view from the balcony of the fireworks was amazing. It was convenient also to have laundry in unit and a parking spot in the building garage for quick access. We would definitely recommend!

Lovely views, close to everything

The property is lovely, and we appreciated being able to cook our own meals and do laundry. We rented umbrellas on the beaches on both sides of the condo, and depending on what you’re looking for (white sands of Waikīkī or deeper waters) you can find both.

Location! Location! Location!

This was by far one of our best stays throughout our 2 week journey traveling the Hawaiian islands. The location and panoramic views of the ocean and diamondhead rival those of the fancy hotels nearby. Loved this penthouse so much tried to book ahead of time for December 2024 and it's already booked the entire month - a year in advance! TEN STARS!

Fantastic location

Fantastic location right in the heart of Waikiki with the beach literally on the doorstep. From the balcony we could watch all the beach activities and had a front row seat for the weekly fireworks. There are free pickleball courts right next door and great beachfront boardwalks in both directions. The unit is well appointed with a really comfortable king bed and had everything we needed. The unit has blinds and is pretty light at night so bring an eye mask if you like a dark room. Paul was really responsive and a delight to deal with.

So easy to step outside and relax on the beach or take a walk along the water and watch the sunset. The coffee shop downstairs was perfect to pick up some local coffee or enjoy a fresh acai bowl. We highly recommend this room and Captain Cook company as well.

Restful Layover

Flying from New Zealand to east coast US, we decided on a few days layover in Hawaii to make the trip easier. We chose this apartment for its location and beautiful views. We also chose it for what appeared in the photos to be a beautiful apartment. While it served our purpose, the apartment is very dated and needs a bath and kitchen renovation at the least. We had hoped to prepare some of our own meals, but the kitchen was not adequate. On the bright side, the location is ideal and there are great restaurants nearby. And the sunsets from the balcony are beautiful.

Great place

My spouse and kids (13 and 9) stayed here and we were very comfortable. We had a pull out bed and inflatable mattress for the kids and they were both happy and with the arrangement. Note that the pull out couch bed could easily fit two kids, they just wanted their own space. Paul was great and accommodating. Place is as described and listing is accurate. We had no issues with the dryer and did multiple loads of laundry per day. Yes there are birds on the balcony, they are tiny and cute, not like seagulls or pigeons coming to fight you for your last french fry! I already checked about going back next March and unfortunately the price is now about $150CAD more per night than we paid so we are sadly priced out now :/ We appreciated the place a lot and think anyone would be very happy here. The location is amazing and so is the view.

There was nothing lacking at this property. Check in with Paul was a breeze. He was totally responsive when we arrived. The shower was decent. We especially appreciated the Toto Washlet. The kitchen had everything we needed. The living space was comfortable and the living room TV was quite large and hooked up to our devices readily. The closet space and drawer space was more than we could ever need. The bed was comfortable. The washer and dryer worked well. We enjoyed the balcony most of all. Of course, we didn’t miss the friday fireworks. We love the location of the building and the parking across the street was secure and close enough. The building has had many updates and upgrades since the last time we stayed here. We hope to return and stay in this unit again.

Overall Good, BUT two Issues.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed 4 weeks. Paul, the rental agent, did a nice job, very friendly and accommodating with extra supplies after the second week when I was running low. It wasn’t required, so I really appreciated it. The condo location is wonderful. Here are my issues. First - DO NOT USE THE DRYER! IT SINGES/BURNS YOUR CLOTHES! I had 5 shirts ruined with burn marks. Only “Air Fluff” is safe, but it takes forever to dry clothes that way. Second, using the TV/Spectrum Cable system is frustrating and cumbersome. It’s necessary to use multiple remotes most of the time, and getting the on screen channel guide to work is nearly impossible! There ought to be a printed guide left in the condo for a quick reference for renters. Yes the unit was clean, but does show its dating and wear. The balcony is a favorite spot for birds, so expect lots if bird droppings which is messy. The condo in my opinion is definitely too small for 4 adults. A couple with 2 young children under 5 or 6 maybe. I wouldn’t discount a return to this condo, but would seriously consider others first.

Check in process was easy and smooth. Host met us at the property and reviewed the property with us and gave us tips for our stay. Condo is right on the beach with amazing views. You can see the firework show right from the condo. Clean condo that was well stocked. No oven but there is a small toaster oven that met our needs. Great surf spot with surfboards to rent in front of the property. Shopping and dinning 5 minute walk from condo. Beach is small and crowded which is typical for waikiki. Comfortable, clean and great location.

This is a beautiful property. Very well appointed and maintained. Incredible location. You are literally in the center of the Waikiki action. Cocktails and appies on the balcony while watching the sun go down is epic. Walking out the property backdoor to feet-in-the-sand is convenient. No time wasted traveling to the beach.
