Condo was fine. Definitely old, so dirt built up in corners and grouting, but not necessarily dirty. Nice to be able to walk easily around Waikiki. Pull out bed was comfortable and the kitchen had enough dishes and pans. Beach chairs and an umbrella were available. Parking garage was a tight squeeze. Not luxury, but good enough for our family of 4 for the three nights we were in Waikiki. Wouldn’t want to spend a whole week or more there. Condo owner was generally easy to work with. Also, it was a little damp, which is common in this area, so there was a damp smell, but not terrible.
The location is good, the view is great, but man is it a mess. The pictures look great online. Reasonable to other reviews, the issues that they found and mentioned are still issues.
Can't get a much better location, You're just block away from Waikiki Beach and all the shops and restaurants. The price for a 12-day stay was extremely reasonable. This unit had everything that you could possibly need for a wonderful stay in Paradise. Although a little
Would stay again quick responses to questions and needs.... Check in was a little different but figured it out all and all a great place

Pros of this rental:1. Location was great- eastern end of Waikiki. Close to the action, but a bit removed from the craziest part of the resort area. Very short walk to beach. Beaches nicer on this end of the strip and less crowded. 2. Unit was clean and generally nice. Had all the necessities. Kitchen was well-equipped. 3. Check in/out was easy and Captain Cook Resorts was responsive. 4. Pool and barbecue area were nice. Cons of this rental:1. The couch (advertised as a sleep sofa) was old and lumpy. We had planned to have 3 adults in this unit- 2 in the bedroom and 1 in the living area. The couch was not suitable for this purpose and needs to be replaced. We had to purchase an air mattress for the guest sleeping in the living area. 2. The water in the kitchen smelled bad. I did not notice this problem in the bathroom, only the kitchen.
About a 7 minute walk to the beach
The balcony overlooks the mountains, canal and diamond head. You can’t see the beach but we didn’t mind
We loved the bed. We prefer a more firm bed and it was just that.
The beach chairs and umbrella were a huge plus. We used them daily.
Well stocked with everything we needed.
Plenty of towels for our 9 day stay (we reused a few times)
There is a little mart on floor 5 that was great for a quick snack or anything you forgot.
The pool area is great, although most of the day it’s in the shade. It wasn’t overly crowded, we laid in the chairs a few times, but never swam.
Nice bbq area (we didn’t use but was very nice)
There was always plenty of parking.
Elevators can be busy during peak hours, there are 30+ floors so lots of people coming and going, but wasn’t a huge issue for us to wait a few.
As some people noted, a few things in the condo could be updated like the vanity, sink and faucet, but that doesn’t bother us at all.
The building is well made and you can’t hear hall noise or neighbors. This is important to me as I’m a light sleeper. We did hear the people above moving their chairs around the floors quite often, but they might have just been a big group staying there . But could never hear neighbors talking or halls doors slamming.
The keyless entry was nice so we didn’t have to bring a key when we walked to the beach.
My only suggestion would be to have smart TV’s so we could watch streaming apps in the evenings.
Would stay again!
Staffs were super friendly. View from the balcony was awesome.
Amazing stay in Waikiki!! Great location close to beach, restaurants, shop etc. 10/10 will stay again!! Beautiful condo. Amazing views. Highly recommend!!
So this condo appears renovated but it’s poorly done and what you’re really paying for is the location. It’s about 2 blocks to the beach which is nice. The condo itself was liveable but it had some plaster falling off the wall in the bedroom, the kitchen sink backed up and the garbage disposal wasn’t working so we had to have someone come and fix that, mold painted over on the bedroom ceiling, cob webs with dust hanging from the popcorn ceiling, mold on the bathroom floor grout, a hole in the bedroom wall where an outlet used to be that is gone now just an open hole. It’s also incredibly loud the sirens from police and fire never stop even though you’re on the 28th floor you hear everything. Oh that’s another thing the walls are super thin, the living room couch is super uncomfortable to sit on and you feel like the springs are going to break. The entire condo/hotel is in bad shape and it needs to be renovated. They had to do an emergency water shut off one day from 08-12pm which turned the AC off also and another night at 10pm there was a fire alarm and we had to climb the stairs down.
Pros:
Beach and nightlife nearby
Parking included
Kitchen
Central AC
Cons:
Condition of building and condo
Noise
Rep was very helpful, painless check in and out

Close to the beach and shopping. A room with free parking in Waikiki is valuable. The room was clean and comfortable.
This place as everything I hoped it would be. Great views. Everything you need in a kitchen. Great bathroom. I’m glad I chose it. Only thing I’d the pull out couch was uncomfortable and pretty worn, they could upgrade it, but my teen was sleeping on it and he didn’t complain. I couldn’t have slept on it. They being said the master bedroom was super comfortable. Also note the boogie boards they have there are for small children. Any teens or adults will have to buy out rent their own. The umbrella is also no good against any wind. Everything else was perfect. I would definitely stay there again given the opportunity.

Great stay and location. Nice and clean. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and will definitely be returning!!
We enjoyed our stay and was wowed by the amazing view! We were able to cook meals at the VRBO, which was very nice. The bed was comfortable and the host was responsive. We will definitely stay again!
The apartment on the 28th floor is in a great location at the end of Waikiki area. The beach section is the most beautiful there and you are still right in the middle of the action. The apartment is fully equipped with 4 beach chairs, umbrella, safe and all electrical appliances in the older kitchen. The balcony has a fantastic view of the city and mountains. On the right you can also see a piece of the Diamond Head. Very comfortable bed, door lock with numerical code, fast elevator, large pool, mini market in the building. Grill on the pool floor. Parking space included. We were happy and would come again.

I highly recommend this condo. Beautiful, clean and amazing views of the mountains. Like having a home away from home. The location is right in Waikiki and everything is in walking distance. I have already recommended this property to friends and family!

Very cozy for us two sisters traveling to Waikiki! The location was great. The building was a little dated but functional. I loved our condo! Amazing view, super functional for outings but also lounging around. Def recommend.
