Unit is just as advertised. Small apt. but layout is good. Bedroom was good size, bed very comfortable. Bathroom is small, very small. Only downside (other than bathroom size) was the couch which was very uncomfortable (didn’t check out the pull out trundle bed since it was just the 2 of us). Kitchen was well appointed. Laundry room just down the hall was very convenient. Parking was close by. Not really a view from the unit but not an issue for us.The location would be the major selling point. Very convenient to restaurants, shops and the beach. Good budget friendly option in Waikiki.
Nice apartment, very close to the ocean. It is centrally located, everything is easy to reach from here. The property manager is cooperative and flexible. The area is quite noisy, as the Beach Walk is on the logistics route of the nearby hotels. I would like the carpet in the living room to be replaced next year. That's how we got the property with stained carpet. I recommend it to everyone.
The place was great. We really enjoy staying here and is centrally located. The only downside is the bathroom is a bit small, but everything else was great.
The location is very convenient. A home like stay. Love it

We enjoyed our stay at this location! The bathroom is cramped but otherwise was what we needed! I like that we’re using local rentals to help the local community vs going to the resorts with all the extra fees. I’ll definitely be using Captain Cook again!
Quiet and close to everything including the beach, many restaurants, and the parking lot. It was easy to get in and out to see art, people et al.
Good: The location of the property was ideal – it was close to major shopping centers and a variety of restaurants, making it super easy to explore the area. The beach was also just a short distance away, which was a huge plus. The neighborhood had plenty of foot traffic, so we felt very safe walking around. The place was clean. In and out of the parking lot was easy.Bad: The parking, which was about a block away from the property so about 4-5 mins walk. Please be ware that the property is very tiny ideal for a couple or a single guest only. Old school property, so need key to open the elevator and activate the button. You will have to carry that metal key with you all the time when you go out.Ugly: The check in process was terrible. I tried communicating via VRBO messaging service through the portal which I have been doing for all my stays in the past without any issues. I was given a wrong phone number for the property manager. I tried contacting him but no avail. I was waiting downstairs frantically calling the property manager for about an hour in the dark. I had to call few other numbers listed on the message board downstairs and finally was able to connect. It was a total nightmare. VRBO wasn't much of a help either. The bathroom is very tiny fit for a slim person. Toilet seat/shower is also tiny fit for some small or medium built. individual.
For the most part the stay was as listed, little bit run mediocre from the outside compared to the building all around but inside was very nice. Upsides are that it’s in Waikīkī, very central and close to the beach. Parking was included in our stay which was a HUGE plus, considering parking is so tough down there. Only downside was the bathroom honestly. Very narrow and hallway feeling for the whole bathroom, and the toilet felt very uncomfortable/cramped due to a huge bidet they have on there on top of the narrow bathroom. Over all I was satisfied and had no other issues with the stay, we had 4 people stay here very comfortably.
Great place to stay for 2 people. We had an infant an there was more than enough space..
Great Stay! Location was Great, many shops & restaurants close by. We felt very safe & Secure there. The only 2 things that kept this from being 5 star is the Bathroom size & apparatus on the toilet seat. Obviously I understand not much can be done about the size of the bathroom & we made it work but it is very narrow & the toilet seat thing has to go.All in all it was a very nice place. We enjoyed our stay.
Great location and parking was a plus. Few cons though the bathroom was smaller than my RV bathroom and with a hubby who is 6ft it was super uncomfortable. The shower is small and the shower head is too big. No AC in the bedroom which means it’s 20 plus degrees hotter. You have no way to get good air flow since the living room and bedroom are on opposite sides of the condo. No view at all, you are looking at a building when you step outside your door. Wouldn’t stay here again. We love the management company and will use them when we visit again.
This place worked well for us. We had to be close to a hospital and it worked well.
Lovely condo well placed close to nice amenities easy check in and very friendly host I will absolutely book with captain cook’s again
Enjoyed our stay. Just big enough for everyone to sleep comfortably. Location was close to everything and paid parking is always a plus!
Nice rental near a lot of convenient places. The apartment itself felt immediately like home. Will definitely look into coming back here one day!

I stayed with my 88 year old Tutu (grandmother) to see family on Oahu. The location is great, right next to the beach, and right in Waikiki close to everything. Parking lot nearby worked out great also. There were a few minor issues that made the stay less than ideal. Access to actually get to our rooms involved a key card and an actual key to access the elevator, which made leaving and cooking back to the room a slight process. The sofa bed was not comfortable at all, and one of the blinds was broken allowing the sun to shine into my eyes early in the morning. Overall, for the price point, the stay was acceptable.

Nice location. Clean. Sofa bed was not usable (broken frame). this was frustrating, as one of us planned to sleep on it, and had to sleep only on the couch. Prior guests' clothing in drawer. No response from manager after first day.

I would recommend it was a Great location, very clean, nice to have a home atmosphere. The bathroom is VERY small but clean. Centrally located to lots of activities and the beach.
This place is well stocked, clean and a great place for half the price of the embassy suites next door. The parking www convenient, we felt safe and the place had everything we needed. We will be back.
This is an older property, at times a little noisy with being so close to the street. But…. We loved our stay!!!! Again it’s an older property with some wear but it was SUPER CLEAN, it had everything we needed for our stay, the service provided ( we contacted our “contact” for the rental a couple of times with some questions & requests) they responded in person almost immediately!!!! I was super impressed & they were super helpful & delightful!!! We picked this condo because of location & price point and we were very happy!!!

My stay at the Capetan Cook apartment was enjoyable. It's well-equipped with everything you need, and I particularly appreciated the kitchen. However, the absence of a balcony or any view gave it a confined feeling. The bathroom is quite small, which might be challenging for individuals with larger body sizes.
I loved the location of this property. Great restaurants right out front and walkable distance to the strip & Waikiki beach. There's an awesome shaved ice place connected to the building as well. I was a little skeptical with how the building looked from the outside as it looked a bit aged but the room was very clean upon arrival and the placed looked very modern on the inside. You also need a key to use the elevator and there is 24 hour surveilance on the building so we felt very safe. We were also given a parking pass to a lot across the street which was convenient. All in all positive experience and I would book this spot again on my next vacation to Honolulu.
