We have to check in 2 blocks away The people at the desk are very rude. They say that they don't handle our roomMy wife is partial disabled and she told us we have to walk around 2 ramps to get to pool when there was a walkway going right thereThe only truly evil person we met on our trip

My family could not have asked for better accommodations for our trip. The location was perfectly situated next to the beach, well equipped with enough start up materials for a week (and then some) including chairs and an umbrella, linens and towels. Gorgeous view from the lanai that pictures don’t do justice, perfect for sunsets and Friday fireworks. We’re looking forward to booking again at this location for future trips..

My husband and I had a great stay here last week. Our check-in was very smooth, apartment was clean, ac was on, very central location. We had live music each night from the sun deck and awesome sunsets. The parking spot was a big plus too. We have stayed at numerous VRBOs on the different islands so the one thing that we did not have that we have had in most others was a variety of spices, tea, etc. You will also want to bring your own toiletries, the single hotel bottles don’t last long. We will definitely come back because the location was excellent and the room is very comfortable. Thank you!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I can’t say enough about this rental! The location, right at the beach. The view is breathtaking all day, but sunrise & sunset is amazing. The rooms were clean, plenty of room for the five us and another adult would be very comfortable here as well.Booking was easy, the management team kept in touch when needed. There is a parking space in the garage below. We had no need to contact management after they brought us up to the apartment and showed us how to work the beautiful panoramic glass doors and other amenities in the apartment. There is a washer/dryer in the bathroom so we were able to keep the towels and our personal clothes clean as needed. Trash pickup each morning.The interior doors are beautiful with carved island scenes. Sitting on the balcony each morning having morning coffee, watching the sunrise and then heading out for a morning walk along the beach!On the kitchen side had a great view of Diamond Head. Waikīkī beach and the surfers.I would highly recommend Captain Cook resorts to anyone seeking a worry free, enjoyable vacation!

We enjoyed three days at a great location. We would do it again in a heartbeat.One minor issue -- how to checkout (with a car in the garage). Leaving the key in the condo means you have to navigate the fob controlled elevators while organizing to leave the key. A comment in the check out instructions/ suggestions would have been very helpful.

Everything is perfect about this place. The condo is right on the beach so you don’t have to cross the street. You have everything you need including washer, dryer, refrigerator, and oven. If you stay here, make sure you’re in the condo at 8:30 PM on a Friday for the fireworks show! Also, I should mention that Paul, the gentleman who coordinates your stay is flawless in communicating meeting time and anything you might need throughout your stay. And lastly, as a 52-year-old woman who travels alone, the building is extremely safe and you need a key card to use the elevator. Huge bonus!

The property is lovely, and we appreciated being able to cook our own meals and do laundry. We rented umbrellas on the beaches on both sides of the condo, and depending on what you’re looking for (white sands of Waikīkī or deeper waters) you can find both.

March 2025

This condo has been exquisitely updated. Truly beautiful. I was worried the ocean view would be obstructed being a side view, but it was awesome. So, having both ocean and city views was special. The ability to truly have the “outdoors in” with the fully extended sliding doors was also a huge plus. The condo was appointed with everything you could possibly need. A perfect stay in a great location. Thank you!!

Right from the beginning, Luana Realty had great communication. Their agent, Paul, was super friendly and accommodated for us when we missed our first flight and had to check in at a later time. The condo had an even more spectacular view in person- we could see the Hilton fireworks on Friday night, right from our balcony! Also, parking was nice and easy and affordable! We already can't wait to stay there again in the future. Mahalo!!!

This is by far, one of the best listings in Waikiki. You don't really need a rental car, everything is located within walking distance and out of all of the places that we have stayed in Waikiki, this one stands out as the perfect location.

Yes convenient location, not kept up, no pillows on the couch, no carpet, poorly decorated. Old lights fixtures, doors need replaced, and there is a huge bird net from floor to ceiling on the lanai.

Be sure to pay close attention to the check in process, get your keys and parking card from the management office before attempting to get into the unit.Unit was clean & the little extras (beach umbrellas, sand mats, floaties, etc) were a great addition to our short stay!
Heather P.
March 2025

Great location with views. Parking was essential for us. Nice amenities. Overall clean and comfortable. I didn’t get an email for how to check in before I landed, so I had to call for that. The air conditioner and air vents could use a wipe - but again, the place was overall very clean.

My wife and I made a quick visit to Oahu from Maui. Our stay at the apartment was very nice. It is very clean, quiet and comfortable. It was great to be on the beach, close to shopping and many restaurants. Parking comes with the apartment. We enjoyed our stay.

The location is perfect. Easy access to beach, shops and restaurants. Easy to park across the street with plenty of parking. You can’t beat the location. We were here for a few nights to check out the college with my daughter. College is less than two miles from this rental. Hiccup at check- in, we didn’t know we had to call the management co at wait for them to arrive with our room key. The parking pass did not work but they were responsive in my call and is refunding me the amount to park I had to pay to get out of the lot. Overall, the room is nice, clean, the kitchen has everything you need. Great place to stay for two people.

Beach directly below is not great. Short walk west and beach is nice. No easy beachside access to Waikīkī Beach area. Have to go a couple blocks away from beach then head east about 5 blocks. Not a bad walk but with beach gear is not ideal. Even if you have a rental car like we did, uber to and from Waikīkī Beach if taking chairs, umbrella, etc. worth the 20.

It is hard to beat this location. The building is right on the beach and steps from the water. There is a coffee and smoothies shop downstairs. There is a Starbucks next door. The building elevators have security. You must use key fob to use elevators. All around feels very safe. The check in process is super easy. There is a front desk just like at a hotel. The building is called Waikiki Shore. Very walkable all around this area. The Monkeypod restaurant next door is very good. The unit was clean, beautiful, and with a million dollar view! I would absolutely stay here again.

It would be hard to beat this location or this view! The check in is super easy. There is a front desk just like in a hotel. They check you in . The place is secure with a key fob to operate the elevators. There is a coffee shop and smoothies, snacks downstairs And the building is located right on the beach steps from the water! There is a full ABC convenance store next door as well as a Starbucks. The Monkeypod restaurant next door is delicious! The area is gorgeous!! The unit was clean, quiet, and million dollar view!

For being in downtown Waikiki, the location couldn’t be better. Having a parking spot is amazing. Having to figure out how to get your keys on the parking pass is difficult. we were lucky enough to show up during the week and before 5 o’clock, so I have to catch somebody at the business office. She did not speak English well so it was difficult to communicate, but she was able to get me the keys. I never did get the lockbox code, nor the code to the door at the condo in my email. I went back and double checked all my emails and my junk mail. It is not there. It would benefit everyone if the owner could figure out a way to skip that step. I saw other lockboxes on the fence at the condo which would be a better option, but what do I know. The toilet wasn’t working when we got there, but I quickly fix that, and some of the lights didn’t work well which weren’t an issue for us. I did request a one hour late checkout and was denied without paying extra. Given the check-in process and the fact that I had to fix the toilet, I was a little surprised by that. If you say it goes well without needing to communicate, it is a great place, I would be worried for someone who had to reach out because the response time is not very fast. The bed in the kitchen were in good order, there were towels and hand towels, but no wash clothes.

The condo is beach front and steps to the sand. It’s in the heart of Waikiki and an easy walk to shops and restaurants. The property manager handled our requests promptly, checking in and out was easy. The condo is beautifully appointed, the air conditioning works well, there are two spacious bathrooms and there is easy access to the Outrigger next door. ( pool only / gym not included). The downside of the condo is it is one story above a busy restaurant called The Steak Shack. At lunchtime and dinner there is a line of 20-30 people directly below you looking up at you. The aromas from the restaurant make it difficult to sit on the lanai and enjoy it. While we were there the building crew was using a jackhammer which made it impossible to sit anywhere in the condo M to Fri during the day. I’m sure this was a “one off” however, I think we will return to a sure thing like the Moana Surfrider or the Halekulani in the future ( same price but better ambience).

Just what my husband needed......a safe, convenient, comfortable, stressless, relaxing place to unwind.Communication with management was a very speedy response as the ice maker was not working....so, quickly resolved.Thank you for a very pleasant stay.

Had a great week in Honolulu. Communication with the owner was excellent. View was great. Not a good swimming beach due to rocks in the water. Having two bathrooms was a treat. All worked well except blinds and owner is replacing them soon. Location was great. Check in at the Regency was easy. Leaving was a bit more confusing. Very popular beach and steak shack below the balcony. AC was great and needed. Construction below the last two days drove us out. Kitchen is completely equipped, altho having ice pre-made in the freezer would have been nice.
