Perfect for a couple on a budget looking to stay literally on Waikīkī beach. Everything you need is there with stores nearby to get groceries if you want to take full advantage of the kitchen. Also amazing to have the laundry set right there to keep your packing light. Definitely recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the condo we rented. Being steps away from a beautiful beach was amazing. I only have two minor complaints about our condo. One being that I didn’t feel like the floors were cleaned well before our arrival so my husband vacuumed and mopped them. The other thing that was an issue was that there were no pans to cook in the toaster oven so we purchased one and left it there. Hoping it is there when we return next year!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback of your recent stay with us! We're delighted you enjoyed your stay! We are truly sorry for the floor not being cleaned properly and for the missing pan for the toaster oven. Will let the team know so it won't happen again. Next time please let your property manager know for any missing items. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Mahalo! Captain Cook Resorts

The room was great. Location was incredible. Automated communication was good. Paul was terrible. He did not respond to any text messages. Instead, he sent text messages before we even checked in asking when we would be checking out. The feeling was that he couldn't wait to get rid of us. During check in he told us he would be bringing us back a trash can because ours was broken and that he took it out. He never brought the trash can.
