Location ideal, next to the Outrigger Canoe Club, beach, Michel's, and how can we not mention Diamond Head and Kapiloani Park. Close to some wonderful eateries. But really outstanding, friendly and responsive service by Captain Cook's Byron Wickard. (Need a rice cooker, I'll get you one and have it to you tmrw!) Mahalo!!

The security and all the staff is very friendly. The location is perfect and the Kapiolani park is right there for walking or running. It’s away from the busy hub but perfect to get anywhere.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A pleasant stay -- as close to the beach as possible without getting wet!Comfortable studio suite overlooks the low buildings of the Outrigger Canoe Club & Sans Souci beach beyond. Very quiet compared with Waikiki locations. Suite is clean & well appointed and suitable for one or two persons. Beach access is convenient.The only aspect that marred our stay -- and, to us, it's a big one -- was the rental agent. When we enquired relative to securing the same month next year, we were told that the apartment had already been rented. Others with whom we discussed the matter all confirm that it is customary to ask the current tenant whether they wish to renew before turning to other possibilities. A courtesy that makes sense. The agent involved in renting this suite to us extended no such courtesy to us. As a result, we would be extremely unlikely to rent anything through her -- or through Captain Cook Resorts -- again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Staying at Colony Surf 308 for a month was a great experience, and waking up to views of Diamond Head and the ocean every day was simply amazing! The property was beautifully maintained, spotless and well-equipped. The size and layout was perfect for a studio, and the owner definitely had the renter's every need in mind when it came to this condo unit. The location was exactly what I wanted, convenient to Waikiki, but away from the crowds. The beach in front of the Colony Surf was gorgeous, rarely crowded, and had the best views of the sunset. There was no air conditioning which wasn't a problem except for the noise level from the volleyball courts below the window and the noise from the two adjoining restaurants, which could be a bit challenging on the weekend. Otherwise, Colony Surf 308 is the perfect home away from home!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo is in an excellent location with an easy walk to the huddle and bustle of Waikiki while basking in the sun and fun of a private aloha. The apartment was chic with nice views of Diamond Head and the Pacific Ocean. It is adjacent to the volley ball courts of the Canoe Club which appeals to sport enthusiasts. I would like to return for another vacation. Aloha
