We enjoyed the stunning views from 20 floors above. The condo was comfortable and quiet (except for the ocean!) with cool breezes. The elevators worked beautifully, so no problem going up and down. And of course the Colony Surf location meant swimming and Kapiolani Park or Diamond Head walks every morning.

Colony Surf is a great property. The condo was nicely appointed. Nice modern kitchen and furniture. Unfortunately we experienced some mechanical issues with the plumbing. Eric the property manager was very diligent in getting issues repaired.

It is a great location with the most amazing views and very large inside and it is an easy walking distance to Waikiki & right next to the Outrigger canoe club. The multiple fans & trade winds keep the place a pleasant temperature. The team onsite & Sachi have always been wonderful.

We love staying in #407 at the Colony Surf. Our only concern is the condition of the bathroom.we had the plumber in while we were there as the toilet wasn't working properly.Also the drains in the sink and shower didn't drain well.

This was hands down the best VRBO experience I’ve had. Tom’s beach condo was perfect—bright, airy, and beautifully appointed. The proximity to the beach and local attractions made it easy for me to explore and enjoy everything Oahu has to offer. Tom was incredibly thoughtful, providing me with everything from beach towels to insider tips on the best spots to visit. I left feeling rejuvenated and already reserved my next visit here at Tom’s little slice of paradise! Can’t wait to get back there.

My husband and I have stayed in this condo for the month of March for the second year in a row. The condo has been consistently well-maintained, very clean and nicely furnished. The linens and towels were in excellent shape and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and serve meals. It was a joy to be able to watch the gorgeous sunsets over the ocean from the comfort of the condo or to sit on the beach in front of the building. The property manager was prompt and courteous when responding to any questions we had before, during and after our stay. We would highly recommend this condo to friends and family.

Hi Justin We are still requesting a credit for our stay & we needed to Leave Early due to conditions of this unit There a number of maintenance & cleaning issues 1) dishwasher not working & there's sitting in the dishwasher for weeks (gross) 2) No air conditioning & the door vents won't open/close 3) the clothes line in the shower is broken 4) the rain shower has a slow leak/drip 5) one of the chairs bottom liner has fallen....just needs to be tacked up 6) printer does not work....the ink may have dried up 7) the coffee maker is VERY dirty & we could not use 8) we only received one door entry fob (for 2 people) so we had to coordinate every time we went somewhere 9) the kitchen sink is dirty....needs a scrub brush for the edging 10) the storage closet is very dirty & cluttered......with so little storage in the unit.....it is very disappointing 11) there was only enough hand soap for a week (which is pretty tacky when someone is staying for a month) 12) the fridge was very dirty....had to clean before using it 13) the door on the shower is dirty & the glass shelves 14) the shelves in the bathroom had not been cleaned in weeks 15) the lamp shades by the bed are very dusty Let me know if you require any more information Thanks, Allison (We left early & received no credit)

My husband and I returned back home after five years of being away. We could not have been happier with our choice of state. The location was fantastic, the amenities were wonderful and it was close to family and friends.
What made it extra special is the parking space and the washer dryer! Those are a godsend
The check in and check out process was a breeze! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in the little bit of Aloha Hideaway.

The location is outstanding and the property was very nice. I would highly recommend it for a single or couple; can be a bit snug beyond that.

Great location on the second floor which made it very convenient to get down to the beach. The condo was well equipped with everything including beach chairs and umbrella. Quiet end of Waikiki which resulted in great sleeps. The property manager was easy to communicate with. Highly recommend the property. Looking forward to going back!

Our stay in this property was everything we could have hoped for. One wall of windows in the apartment faced the beach so we could listen to the waves and enjoy the gorgeous sunsets. The property was spotless and appeared to have been recently updated with upscale cabinetry and appliances. The kitchen was very well-equipped for cooking. There were more than enough bath and beach towels that appeared to be new. The property manager was readily available when needed and was very helpful when our arrival was delayed due to illness. I would recommend this property without any hesitation to my friends or relatives.

We enjoy staying in #206! It is just minutes from the beach, and we have fun snorkeling. Being on the second floor is a real advantage for unloading groceries and walking to the condo. Kapiolani Park is right across from the Colony Surf which is very nice. Diamond Head is just across the street, too. Having a parking spot, in the ramp, is ideal. Having laundry and a nice shower is great!

This was our second time to make Colony Surf PH 6 our “home” for our stay on Oahu. We are planning on returning next year. The unit is lovely. The furniture, the bedding, the photos and paintings around the unit all combine to give a comfortable aloha feeling. With just 2 of us to cook for, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The unit was immaculate, clean and refreshing. The view of Diamond Head, the blue green ocean during the day beautiful, while after dark the view of the Waikiki skyline was spectacular. What’s not to love having a beach right outside your door!Our unit manager was always available to help us if needed. The Captain Cook office staff were wonderful to work with and could answer any questions we had.

The view from this unit is its greatest appeal with sunrises over Diamond Head to ocean sunsets. The bed is comfy, the shower water pressure good, kitchen small but sufficient, apartment clean, management was efficient and immediately responded when we couldn't figure out our TV (our fault). We tried to get it again for next year but couldn't so took another. We'd stay here again if given the chance. Thank you Cap'n Cook! (Only downside is the lovely area rugs bunched up and weren't necessary, they got in our way when they rumpled after a month's living.)

We spent a month in this condo and had a wonderful time. There were a few issues which mainly involved the management company. The kitchen was not well equipped. There were 4 small glasses that were very fragile and cheap. While washing the dishes on 2 different occasions, one of these glasses broke easily while using a sponge on it. The glass broke and seriously cut my hand. I told the agent about the accident and suggested that they remove those glasses as they are very dangerous as they were cheaply made and easy to break. They had not noticed that the glasses were missing. Instead of being understanding that the glasses are a danger, the agent said that I had to pay for replacing the glasses. These glasses could not cost more than a couple of dollars. The agent has made this unnecessarily complicated and has been nickel dining me over these cheap glasses. I would not recommend renting through this property manager.

We stayed in this studio apartment in August 2021. When we arrived we were met by the agent who was very helpful. The studio was immaculate, lots of towels and extra sheets, full kitchen had everything we needed in the way of pots, pans, general kitchen items. We enjoyed the location, close enough to the hustle and bustle of Waikiki yet far enough away to enjoy the quiet of the small beach in front of the condo and Kapiolani Park. Because of the North and South orientation of the building, we never had the intense heat from the afternoon sun, yet it was light and airy with a great cross-ventilation. I would suggest that you might bring some spices as the apartment only had salt and pepper. We loved this apartment so much that we have already booked out 2022 trip!

Everything about this property is absolutely fantastic save three. The view is phenomenal, the space is clean and modern, the kitchen is well stocked with all of the key items (except for a can opener), the beach is great (away from most of the tourists), it’s right next to Kapi’olani park with pickle ball. soccer, and great walking paths. The breezes that flow through keep it well ventilated on most nights and days. It’s bright and the open windows make for a great and quiet view even at night. There are only three things that I would change: 1) the bed is not comfortable. In hindsight I would’ve bought a memory foam mattress topper to provide more support, 2) the bottom half of the entry door has clear louvers, which limits privacy, and 3) the hot water in the shower/bathroom isn’t available much before 6:30 am, which made it a challenge when I was trying to work on the West Coast clock. Although these are the reasons why I can’t give it five stars, none of these were deal killers, and I would rent this place 100% of the time for any length of stay. It was great and we fell in love with this unit. If you were able to get a guest membership at the outrigger canoe club next-door, they have a great happy hour and fantastic ocean views. I am definitely going to recommend this place to my friends and family.

This unit was perfect for my stay! Clearly the owner has a heart for Hawaii and its people. I came not as a tourist but to visit family and dig deeper into the culture. #407 had a wealth of books on Hawaii and it was tempting to stay in and read them. But the neighborhood is perfect for walks up Diamond Head Road, exploration of historic houses and architecture and just for being in the moment to view Diamond Head and ocean activity from the unit. Everything was spotless and so well equipped. The layout was perfect for having guests in for dinner. The noise from the volleyball court was not an issue, but the HVAC equipment on the roof of the OCC was loud. Fortunately it was only on from about 7AM to 8PM. Do not miss watching the moon rise overhead and view it shining on the ocean in the morning. Back home, I miss the sound of the birds and the swaying palms. Thank you to the owner for allowing me to share in your beautiful home!I have a suggestion for Capt. Cook. A personal check in would have helped understand the layout and functions of the unit. Also, a call the day before checkout would have made it less confusing about was required. However, when something needed attention during the stay, Byron followed up.

As the first rental occupants we found the condo meticulously clean, well set up and with ample necessities and nice touches like tropical flowers. Subsequent dealings with the Sachi personnel were pleasant and we felt they were concerned about making our stay as pleasant as possible.The location was truly ocean front nothing between us and the ocean. We saw a sea turtle swimming around, a monk seal resting on the beach and humpbacks breaching in the distance. We have subsequently booked a return visit with the Sachi group given our positive experience this first time.
