We have stayed in this condo many times and it fits our needs perfectly--comfortable, breezy, excellent and prompt response to any problems (e.g. the disposal broke on a Saturday and that evening the repair person came to fix it). Excellent location for getting anywhere (includes parking space) and of course, easy access to the beach for swimming and for walks around Diamond Head. We hope to continue returning to this condo every year.

I've always preferred staying on this side of the park. Outside of the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. The area is great as you can walk to so much. The building is well managed and the room itself is just as advertised. Beautiful view of both Diamond Head and the Ocean alike. I look forward to coming back next time.

Every July we look forward to staying in 908 which has stunning views, natural air cooling (breezes through the condo), all the amenities we need to live comfortably including a full kitchen and washing machine and dryer. The parking space is of course invaluable. And the location! I swim every morning at Kaimana Beach, just down the stairs, and this summer could check on the baby monk seal and its mother regularly. We also love entertaining friends (two at a time!) who also greatly enjoy the views and ambience.Byron was extremely attentive to our needs and responded very quickly. We hope to continue staying here regularly.

Just a few suggestions. A number of the light bulbs in lamps were burnt out, the towel rack needed to be fixed, the bathroom sink didn't drain well.

This is the third time we have rented this condo and it feels like home--a beautiful space where we entertain friends who enjoy the fabulous view and the cool breezes. I can walk down to the beach and go swimming at my favorite beach in 5 minutes.

The Colony Surf is a great building located on the makai side of the main road through the beach area. Quiet and fantastic view from most units. The Canoe Club adjacent to the building does have outdoor volleyball and the courts are used regularly,7 days a week. We were in 908 it’s the smallest unit in the building but we had plenty of room for the two of us. My only negative comment is that the unit was in need of some upgrades. Although everything is working fine the place could use some TLC. Overall a great trip.

We have returned to this condo many times: for us it is the perfect facing and location. Wonderfully cool with a beautiful view of the ocean and Diamond Head, located next to my favorite beach to swim at every morning and for my husband to take early morning walks around Diamond Head. The condo is perfect for hosting two guests for a meal (and a view!). Colony Surf was very accommodating to our requests for parking so that my mother who uses a walker could visit and Captain Cook was responsive to all our concerns.

This apartment was the perfect space for me during my 30+ day stay. It also has a beautiful view of the ocean and Diamond Head. I was a bit concerned about not having air conditioning since I was staying the month of August, but there was a great cross breeze most of the time. The additional floor fans and ceilings fans helped as well. The Captain Cook's property manager, Byron, was fantastic and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay. I will not hesitate rebooking the same place for a long term rental in Waikiki.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying on the 9th floor of Colony Surf on the southeast side--the view was fantastic, but we didn't get the hot afternoon sun, breezes kept us cool. Remodeled kitchen, bathroom, and condo floor surface were all appreciated. Our son who visited slept on the Murphy bed when he visited for 5 days. Our agent, Byron, was extremely helpful and responsive when we needed anything. You can't beat the location of Colony Surf near the best beach in Waikiki (including monk seals) AND a parking space.
