We had a fantastic stay here it was perfect for our group. The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking easy. The on-site parking is a dream. One thing to note if you have littles, the balcony gets a perfect amount of afternoon sun for mom while they nap! 10/10 would absolutely stay here again.

This ocean/marina view condo is exactly as described. Clean with gorgeous views of the marina and ocean. We never had an issue with street noise. Paul was responsive in repairing squealing triolet, and a super nice guy. Kids loved the lagoon next door, the beach was just past that. There were beach chairs etc. provided. There was enough start up items in the kitchen and bath. There is a little convenience type store in the lobby where we found everything else we needed. I would definitely stay here again.Suggestions I would have for management is an easier way to obtain the parking pass.Laundry was not available/broken on our floor and the floors above/below the entire visit.Using Text to contact Capt Cook instead of phone because voicemail was consistently full and couldnt leave messages.

We were in a fabulous home, not just a place to stay. Comfortable beds and pillows, sleeper sofa's mattress excellent! The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking easy. The beach chairs came in very handy and I was able to get my 3 and 5 year old granddaughters acquainted with the boogie board. Nice options for swimming from heated pool, lagoon, and surf. We enjoyed watching the sunsets from the lanai and actually saw the green flash once! Having a parking space in the basement garage was such a wonderful convenience.

Overall, check-in process was very easy. A little hiccup with the initial door code but Vincent was very responsive and fixed the issue right away. The included kitchen items helped a lot to have family dinners at the unit and it was a good place for resting between excursions. Air conditioning units worked fantastic. There were minor issues with the toilet lever we were overall very satisfied and would recommend this unit.

This Vrbo was perfect for my family of four to stay in for four nights while we were in Honolulu. The pictures shown accurately describe the unit. The beds weee comfortable along with the pillows. The ilikai was a perfect location. We had iced coffee every morning from Hawaiian Aroma Caffe down in the courtyard. We also had breakfast one morning at the Pesca Waikiki Beach on the top floor of the ilikai. It was more reasonably priced than Cinnamon’s Restaurant in the courtyard. And our waitress even gave me a tour of the whole top floor of ilikai, including the wedding rooms and I took photos of the view! (Take the outside glass elevator up to the Pesca.) in hindsight we did not need to use the parking space that it part of this unit. We either walked or used Ubers to get around Honolulu. However it did cost us ~$60 total round trip for Ubers back and forth to Pearl Harbor. We used Aloha Shuttle both times for the airport and so reasonable, good communication, and on time shuttle service. Be sure to look at the Captain Cook Resorts website before your stay. We twice used/carried the beach chairs and the beach towels provided in the unit.
I recommend this unit and staying at the ilikai when you’re in Honolulu.

We love this area of Waikiki and chose this property mostly for the location... WHAT A GEM WE FOUND!!! This property was fully furnished with QUALITY furniture, items and very clean too! Everything in the kitchen (frig, ice maker, stove, microwave, plates, glasses, pots/pans, coffee maker, utensils, bowls etc.) were solid. Sheets, towels, blankets etc were very clean. Unit included some beach chairs and boogie boards. View from large lanai that had lots of guest seating was breathtaking. Parking space included was a huge bonus too!One comment - there is no washer/dryer in the unit. While we did know that up front, it was quite inconvenient because we were staying for 2 weeks. I felt the property should have considered providing a second set of clean towels (the ONLY thing that I had requested!) at the end of the first week. Otherwise, everything else was pretty wonderful!

We enjoyed our stay at #1239. The location was perfect. Close to Ala Moana Mall within 10 min walking distance and the lagoon nearby was great. The condo was clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable too. Loved that they had beach chairs and boogie boards for us to use. The property manager personally came out to greet us when we first arrived which I liked. It made it much more simpler to aquaint us to parking etc. Check in and out was so simple. Parking was included to an assigned stall. Did not have to pay a nightly fee. I would stay here again.

Beautiful 2 bedroom condo and very spacious and great view - Loved the great location near Ala Moana Park and Shopping Center. Close to all our favorite eating places, especially Wailoa Store for the best shave ice in the world!! Make sure to make reservations ahead of time if you want to eat at Katsumidori Sushi, Ginza Bairin Tonkatsu or MW Restaurant. If you want to eat at Tonkatsu Tamafuji, you may have to make reservations 3 months in advance. Just sad to have to leave Oahu to come home to cold weather.

Overall a good location, great view and comfortable. We like to cook our own meals, so a good kitchen is important. For a condo that sleeps 6 and a pricey stay, we had 5 mugs, limited cooking supplies. Inside doors don't close, vents are covered in dust. Contact from Captain Cook made us think he would meet us. He not only made us wait until 10 minutes after check-in (knowing we arrived hours before), but was led to believe he was meeting us personally. After calling several times, he finally answered and told us the door was open and just gave instructions over the phone. We waited for him in the lobby for a long time, what a waste of our time. Not sure I would rebook. We enjoyed our stay despite a rocky start.

We absolutely loved our stay. The pictures accurately represent the room (other VRBOs don’t). It was clean, well maintained, roomy with comfortable furniture. The couch bed didn’t have springs like most which made it very comfortable. The view of the harbor is beautiful. It’s right next to a public man made beach pond which is right next to the ocean beach. It’s great for kids because it’s sandy whereas the beach is rocky. You can rent toys there. Food trucks come and there is a DQ right on the beach. The location is excellent. The parking was tight, but simple to access. Consider a smaller vehicle if you can. It will make driving and parking easier on the island. We had an standard SUV and it was tight. One thing I would recommend visitors who want to cook, use a grocery service to deliver your food. Parking and grocery shopping was a big challenge. The property manager was great and always available for a question. Excellent stay - 5 stars!

The beautiful condo (Ilikai #1239) was even better than the pictures! The view over the Kewalo Harbor was magnificent with radiant sunsets every evening. The condo was well equipped with sufficient cooking and serving utensils. There was plenty of closet and storage space. Both bedrooms had adequate space and privacy, with access to the large lanai. The beds and bedding were comfortable. The interior living space and seating were adequate for four adults and the TV and WIFI systems both functioned well. There was plenty to see from our lanai. Expansive ocean views, magnificent sunsets, people watching at the harbor and on the Ilikai outdoor deck. Our unit included parking and that was very convenient and saved us a lot of money. The Ilikai condo/hotel provided outdoor entertainment twice a week (live Hawaiian music and hula dancing and live music and dancing). The condo was quiet at night.
The amenities at the Ilikai were fine. There are two restaurants, plenty of outdoor deck space, sundry shop, ice cream store and other amenities. The one exception was the pool area. There are two pools. A wading/lounging pool and a regular swimming pool. Both pools in our estimation are not big enough to accommodate the number of guests/rooms in the building. They pools are currently restricted due to Covid rules, but even when not restricted, we could see this as a concern for those who are “pool people.” It was not an issue for us during our stay, but again could be for those who want a luxury pool/spa experience.
Finally, the property is managed by the Captain Cook Realty and out interaction with them could not have been better. After finding this property on VRBO, we dealt exclusively with Cpt Cook Realty, and it was a pleasure. From the outset, the office staff was knowledgeable, helpful and responsive. Once we arrived, we had an assigned property manager (Paul) who was exceptionally responsive and helpful getting us checked in and settled into the condo. Initially, we had one small maintenance issue and Paul came within the hour to get it right. If you decide to rent this property (or any in Waikiki) we would recommend you go directly to Captain Cook Realty.
Start to finish this was a great trip and a wonderful stay at a fine property!

Awesome location which is right in the middle of great shopping and eatery areas. My only complaint is they need to replenish shampoos, conditioners, soaps and toiletries. It just saves us from having to make an extra trip. The rental is so expensive already. Why not give us that? Doesn’t cost you that much buying in bulk! Sofa bed needs to be replaced. Mattress died. 🤣

The condo was exactly as advertised on VRBO. The location on the north end of Waikiki was perfect. We enjoyed the 2 BR with our son and his wife during the week of the Honolulu Marathon. The kitchen was perfect, although we ate most meals out. The heated pool at the hotel was fantastic as the ocean was a bit cold. The morning shade from the Hilton that's next door made for a nice swim without the need for sunscreen. And for the sun lovers, the pool was in full sun for the rest of the day after 10:30. The view of sunsets from the balcony was great, and the convenience of a reserved parking spot at the hotel made for easy coming and going. The key code for the suite door made was nice as we didn't have to worry about sharing keys with the 4 of us. All in all, a really nice condo to relax in on Waikiki Beach.

We spend 7 nights here and it's totally worth it. It accommodate the 5 of us (2 adults, 3 young kids) well. The view is spectacular. We were able to catch a decent sunset on the evening that we arrived. If the weather was better, we would have had great sunsets to watch every evening.Paul was very accommodating. We appreciate that he went out of his way to purchase a mini cooler for us to use. I asked if there was one and if not, he did not need to go buy one. But he did anyway! Awesome service!Only thing I wish the unit would have is some plastic cups/plates. We have 3 little ones and we're always on edge when they use the ceramic plates/cups and glass cups. This would be nice for those who have young ones, but definitely not a deal breaker. We would definitely rent this unit again if we come back to Oahu.

My family and I stayed here for about a week- we enjoyed the view and how the place had everything we needed (blender for smoothies, beach chairs, a few beach toys, kitchen stuff) so we were very happy. It's great the place comes with a parking stall- that is so clutch in Waikiki! I liked the location being right at the beginning of all the hotels bc it was easy to get in and out. The AC worked well, the entry and communication with Jeff, the property manager, was easy- he's really great and helpful! This was definitely the perfect place for us (family of 5). As others mentioned, the sofa pullout is worn and a bit lopsided but it gets the job done.
Great place, great experience. We would definitely stay here again!

The property looks just like the photos. The view is amazing. Every night you have a spectacular sunset. Access to the beach is perfect. The only con is the couch.

We had a car and it was great having a reserved parking spot!! Would definitely recommend this condo.

My family and I just recently stayed at this condo. Overall, this condo is great place for a family. We have two teenage daughters and they had their own room and bathroom. We had family staying at the Hilton next door and they would come over for breakfast/coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening. Having a big kitchen and common living area was HUGE!! The lanai was big and plenty of room for all of us and faces west so we got some great sunsets. The condo came with beach chairs, 2 boogie boards, even a snorkeling set. The location was great. We would walk through the Hilton to get to the beach (much faster). The Ilikai did have some stores and a nice place to sit outside if you do take out. The restaurant “Cinnamons” downstairs was actually really good and the have a convenience store for last minute stuff. The only thing I would say that they need is a dust pan to go with the broom. You bring in sand and we had no way to pick it up. The place itself needs a deep cleaning and maybe a new coat of paint. But overall, it is kept up and is decently clean. This was our first trip with our family and we had a blast. I’m so glad we chose this property. Aloha!

Overall a wonderful experience for a family of 5 as we need a 2BR/2BA. Rental was very clean and well-maintained (only complaint was the refrigerator hinged seal would not close on its own...have to adjust track (vertical mullion)every time you try to close it. Note: the on-site fitness room is not available... only to Aston Resorts guests.) Took full advantage of the views from the lanai, enjoyed coffee and breakfast there too. Great location, views, easy access to beach and nearby restaurants and shopping. We appreciated the beach chairs and boogie boards! As for check-out, only glitch was the cleaner showed up an hour early, Highly recommend Ocean Joy if you love dolphins and snorkeling (NW Coast) and Diamond Head Cruises to snorkel with sea turtles. Hikes we enjoyed were Aiea Loop Trail (easy 5 miles) and Wiliwilinui Ridge Trail (5 miles intermediate) for the most beautiful views (at summit see Kaulua and Lanikai, Waikiki, Koko Crater, and Diamond Head. Ziplining (another fav) with Climbworks is amazing!!!
