We enjoyed the whole island. Great place to stay and easy access to lots of food. Short walk to the beach.

Had a great stay with my retired parents. The unit was clean, as advertised and location was amazing. Walking distance to everything we could need in Waikiki and close enough to the roads that we could get out of town and onto the freeway without much hassle. Overlooks Fort DeRussy Park and therefore has an unobstructed view of the ocean. Fantastic!

The unit was not looked after properly. The carpets are filthy. It lacks some kitchen equipment (eg steak knives). Couch was stained at least in 2 places. In summary not up to Captain Cook standards

Great condo! Appreciate the hospitality! Met Margo at the facility and to our surprise, we had a great fruit bowl, roses, champagne, and a Congratulations card for our wedding. This condo has everything you need during your stay...dishes, utensils, beach supplies...everything you need. The bed was comfy, shower great, and just a plush room...great for beides to get ready with her family/friends. Great location to beaxhes and shopping too!

First.off the management compnay was easy to work with and communicated everything we needed. The apartment was very clean and in a hreat location which suited our needs - 10 minutes to beach, shopping, international market. They were plenty of stores nearby to get smaller things as well. Also, the aparmtment had all the thigns you need to cook and what not. And better yet had beach chairs, beach towels, boogieboards, and umbrellas. This is a corner apartment do you get better views and more sunlight due to more wkndows. And you right above the pool. The free parling was convenient as we rented a car for the week.The only con was the neighnor directly across from us. Not sure if they had pets or something but there was a scent of urine in hallway, especially by our door. However once in your in the apartment you do not smell it and the apartment itself smelled great. We would stay here again.

Our second time staying in the unit. Super clean and modern appliances. The only disappointment was the bed. It’s worn out and needs replacing during our first stay in 2023. We were hoping it was replaced but alas, it was not. It’s a horrible bed and simply killed out backs.

The lanai was beautiful!!!Some issues that need to be remedied……* the lanai is huge, but it is full sun all day. It would have been nice if there were an umbrella or two so that we could have some shade.* mold on the shower curtain* there were no Hand towels in the kitchen and no extra paper towels.* there were two bath towels per bathroom, one hand towel and NO washcloths. We had to go to Ross and buy washcloths. * the sheets on the bed had little stains on them.

Truly, a hidden gem in the middle of Waikiki! The building is a bit outdated, however, the condo is beautifully renovated and spotless! Condo is also located in a very safe area. Offers a secured parking garage and visitors must be buzzed into the lobby by a security guard. Some of the perks we enjoyed were, NO resort fees, FREE (assigned) parking, digital deadbolt lock, washer and dryer in the unit, and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you may need. Condo is centrally located to Waikiki strip, shops, restaurants, and the beach. Host (Vincent) was very attentive and responsive to our inquiries and requests. Thank you for making our trip to HI memorable! We look forward to visiting and staying with you in the future!

Asked the property manager for a small step stool to reach higher shelves. Was assured he would pick one up for us. Did not materialize. Otherwise stay was OK. Have stayed at this property for many years therefore know it well. Know the front desk staff and know the maintenance staff by sight. Always friendly and accommodating.

GREAT location, with sweeping views. If you enjoy hanging out on an open air lanai and hanging with friends chatting into the evening with a beautiful breeze, this spot checks all the boxes. Hitting a Food Land right when you get out of the airport to stock up for the week is definitely the move.

Stay was okay large balcony was nice. The thing that made the trip end on a bad note was that I was charged for a parking pass that I “supposedly” lost per the host. I am not the kind of person who is dishonest or one who doesn’t take accountability for their actions when wrong. However instead of conducting a thorough investigation of the pass being possibly accidentally misplaced by someone else who has access to the mailbox but I was blamed for the lost pass and was charged a fee which I don’t mind if I actually did lose it but that wasn’t the case. I followed instructions to return the parking pass in the mailbox but host kept blaming me and pretty much called me a liar, instead of thinking maybe it was someone else who had access to the mailbox may have misplaced it.I guess it was easier to put blame on me and charge me. The only advice I have is to make sure when returning any keys/pass is to take a video of yourself returning the items because unfortunately your word does not mean anything. The ratings would have been either a 4 or 5 stars but this experienced being accused of something I didn’t do ruined and diminished the quality the trip. Good luck future renters when renting with this host!

This condo was just as expected. The building was very quiet, felt safe and was close to everything in Waikiki, but was away from crowds. The pool was warm. We did not have a car, so used the trolley. Laundry room was nice.

We stayed recently at four pales after we decided to extend our trip. Vincent was very responsive if we needed anything. The condo is well stocked but is missing a few necessities in their kitchen. I would suggest that they do an inventory and replace a few things. Vincent did get us a can opener and baking sheets quickly but we did not want to bug him everyone we noticed something missing. It was not a big deal for us but it would be good for future guests.

When they say large balcony/lanai, they aren't kidding. It was almost too big! Very awesome to have that much space though. The rooms were very comfortable, and got plenty cool at night the the A/C on. The hosts were very helpful and easy to get a hold of even when a small emergency arose. Our biggest issue was the parking key card not working. This was never resolved the entire two weeks we were there, and it got a bit annoying to have to get the valet parking to open the gates for us every time. But those guys were very nice and opened it with a smile when needed. Overall, we really enjoyed staying here and would absolutely recommend this room to friends or family coming to the islands.

Good location in Waikiki, in a safe neighborhood with easy access to restaurants. Not loud, and the on site parking is great. Unit is old, and quality is ok. Vents are dirty, washer and dryer are filthy, bathroom has rust, and table is wobbly. Carpet was fine but floors were dirty. Little communication from property management, and limited office hours to reach them.

This was by far the worst VRBO experience I’ve ever had. I booked a six-night stay but left after the 1st night due to the terrible condition of the property. I contacted the owner via email to share my concerns, but I never received a response—not even an acknowledgment.The photos are misleading. The property has popcorn ceilings, worn-out floors, visible stains, and a shower that is so old, you feel like you're in a campground shower (Thongs only). The bathroom had rust stains around the baseboards, and the cabinetry has a coat of white paint on the outside but old, brown wood inside. I didn’t feel comfortable using the utensils or glassware because of how unclean it felt.After one night, I couldn’t bear to stay any longer and moved to a hotel. I emailed the owner to let them know I had vacated and explained that the property wasn’t up to standard. I didn’t ask for a refund; I simply wanted to provide feedback. When I didn’t get a response, I followed up a few days later with a 2nd email—still nothing. No apology, no inquiry about what went wrong, no request for feedback—just silence.As someone who owns a VRBO property in Waikiki and employs a professional property manager, I find this level of neglect unacceptable. Good customer service isn’t dependent on how luxurious or budget-friendly a property is—it’s a basic expectation.Save yourself the trouble. Don’t book this property—not just because it’s in poor condition, but because the owner clearly doesn't care.

A very beautiful dwelling with a great view of the city and coastline from either balcony or the spacious deck. The place was clean and orderly and had a pleasant clean scent. The beds were simply made yet very comfortable. The AC units worked very well keeping our rooms at the appropriate temperature. The kitchen was clean and had all necessary cookware. Fridge was clean. Coffee pot worked and had included exact coffee grounds as described in the ad. Overall, our experience in this suite was pleasant and the place was accurately described. We will definitely consider staying in this suite next time we visit Honolulu.

My wife and I wrapped up a 2-week vacation with 5 days in Honolulu. Mark's & David's studio apt. was perfect for my wife and me. The pictures were accurate and the location was ideal, midway between Ala Moana mall and the east end of Waikiki, with great access to the beach and to buses. The view on the 19th floor was great for sunrises. Kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, glasses, cups, and other utensils, but a grocery run should be top of the list on day 1 (bus over to Don Quijote or Times). Tinted glass, and AC, kept the heat down. Overkill on the shower head, but the right amount of pressure. As a tech person, I greatly appreciated all the USB ports bedside for charging. Hotel valets were great, also. Thank you for hosting us (and for your patience).

The desk clerk was so RUDE once he found out that we were with verbo and not “Elites hotel guests”. valet parking is $50 a night, It was frustrating because we rented a car based on the conservation with the host that it was $38 for 7 days. Now I get that it might not be their fault however when we found out the price was changed over 10 years ago (valet said so) the host just ignored us. The bathroom towels were run down and I recommend getting new ones. Great location!!

My daughter and i had a wonderful time. 4 nites on the island. My daughter loved having her own room and bathroom. And the terrace was amazing. We sat out there each nite. It also made drinking my morning coffee relaxing. The location is just a couple blocks from the beach. Each morning i would do my 3 mile runs. The path to the beach was like running through a botanical garden. We will definitely be back

We stay at Four Paddle twice a year and 1704 was our favorite until! Beautiful views, comfortable bed with enough pillows and extra blankets in the closet, comfortable couch in the living room, good solid furniture with lots of space for clothes etc, nice kitchen well equipped, we didn’t cook much but made our coffee, tea and toast in the morning. We love the location and the 24/7 security of the building. Great quiet place to stay for a week or a month, we always feel safe and comfortable, Four Paddle is a home away from home for us. Thank you Captain Cook for hosting us again, we will definitely be back again.

The stay was mostly fine. The listing was true to its description. It was a great location. However, we did end up seeing a roach there, so cleanliness could have been improved.
Also one thing I want to point out is that parking there is pretty cramped and if you do back in to a spot, be cautious of any ledges above. I ended up shattering my rental car’s rear window

This condo/hotel is on the western edge of Waikiki, with easy walks to the ocean and lots of shopping and dining. This unit is a bit beat up (chipped woodwork, patchy painting, etc.) but provided me with location, views and a place to cook. It was not as clean as one would hope, but not disgusting. For the price, I was more than happy to put up with some dust!

This was a wonderful location for a first trip to Oahu since Waikiki has so much to do and see. There were only 2 of us so the studio apartment size worked well. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom size was fine with some room to hold toiletries. The kitchen had the basics, even coffee filter (reusable and paper) and sewing kit! The wifi worked well. The property manager was easy to get ahold of if needed and quick to respond. There is pool and sauna access as a guest as well as an included parking spot (though, like much on the island, spaces are better suited for smaller cars and not large vehicles). I would recommend staying here again.
