Very clean! The pool was great and the view is 10/10. The listing photos need to be updated. It is more worn than the photos reflect. Extra sheets for the pull out had holes. The couch is discolored and worn. The iron and pots have rust. Byron didn’t answer or return my message when I called when we landed as instructed by the rental company. I had to call back again on our way to the rental and he finally answered. It did feel a little uncomfortable that Byron said the door would be left unlocked for us to get in and explained how to lock the door once we checked in.

Great view and amenities, we highly recommend the area. It's a few blocks away from the "busier" parts of Waikiki so it is quieter. We would stay there again!

Great location! Very clean and stocked with just the right get started amenities. Checkin was quick and easy. Communication from time of booking to checkout was stellar.

My stay at this property was less than ideal, especially when an unexpected power outage left me and a group of senior citizens without light or food for hours. I reached out to the property manager, Byron, asking about emergency lanterns in the room to decide whether I should purchase some, but I never received a response—not during the emergency, and not even after my trip had ended. I also emailed the parent company, Captain Cook Resorts, and received no response from them either.In a situation like this, the bare minimum is basic communication and support, which was completely absent. I was forced to go out into the city, which was dealing with a citywide power outage, to find food for the group—an extremely difficult task.While the check-in process was straightforward, and the room itself was okay, the lack of support from both the property manager and the company as a whole made the experience incredibly frustrating. If you need help during your stay, don’t expect timely or helpful responses. The lack of customer care in an emergency is unacceptable.

We could not open the door when we arrived because we did not get an instruction that after the code we should press star.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The room was very clean and comfortable, and I really enjoyed my stay. I I could see a rainbow almost every day from the balcony.The rental process was smooth and easy. The only thing I was a little worried about was the lock — since it used a preset code, I felt uneasy about leaving valuables in the room. It would be nice if guests could set their own passcode for extra security.Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would love to stay here again.

Absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless and beautifully maintained. The towels and bedding were premium, and the mattress was super comfy—felt like sleeping on a cloud. The mountain view from the balcony was spectacular! Perfect location, just a 5-minute walk to the heart of Waikiki. The host was super communicative and helpful. Highly recommend!

We loved the location of this condo. It is just two blocks from the beach and canal. Condo was clean, comfortable and had most of the things you needed. Our only cons were that the ac was imbalanced between the bedroom (super cold) and the living room (comfortable). But, grab an extra blanket for the bedroom or open the windows in the living room and you'll be good. We would have this location on our short list for the next time we are in Waikiki.

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: My wife and I spent a very comfortable 9 days in this building. Byron was very helpful from our first meet to our last communication. The apartment had everything we needed down to beach chairs. Located away from the noise and traffic of Waikiki beach but only a 4 block walk to the beach. (less than 4 minutes) Our view overlooked the mountains, golf course and cityscape. We enjoyed the included parking, which is very expensive in Waikiki and the close proximity to grocery, restaurants and many of the outdoor attractions in South Oahu. A nice pool to relax by, reasonably priced laundry on the same floor and even a small market in the building. We enjoyed breakfast in the morning and relaxing in the evening on the small lenai. Everything you needed to make a meal, if desired, in the kitchen.

We really enjoyed our stay at this unit. The unit itself was well furnished, and conveniently located. There was some utility construction going on in the garage and around the perimeter, but it really wasn't an issue at all. If you're considering this unit for your stay, go ahead and book it!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: ワイキキサンセットは過去に何回も利用しています。ウォシュレットと高層階が希望だったし「リノベしたばかり」という謳い文句の3209号室に泊まりましたが、「リノベしたばかり」は納得出来ないくたびれた部屋でした。4日目にシャワーが使えなくなりキャプテンクック担当者に連絡しましたが連絡つかず、結局シャワーは使えずじまい。翌日昼頃ようやく連絡がつき修理をおねがいしましたが完了せず、空いている2910号室のシャワーを使わせてもらうことに。こちらの部屋は「リノベしたばかり」が納得できる部屋でした。3209号室は2度と使わないでし&#x

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 夫婦で8泊しました。部屋は清潔で食器用洗剤にスポンジ、タオル、洗濯洗剤、トイレットペーパーなど必需品は十分に揃っており、早朝にはモロカイ・ラナイ島、夜はマノアからカイムキの夜景と高層階ならではの眺めを楽しめました。洗濯機と乾燥機は1.75ドル、6階のBBQグリルは無料で以前より明るくなり、グリルも5台と増えています。缶とペットボトルはダストシュートで処分できますが、瓶は1階のゴミ置き場に持って行く必要があります。ワイキキサンセットとワイキキバニアンで迷いましたが、次回もこの部屋が第一選択となりそうです。

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful spacious condo with a gorgeous view of the hills. Pictures don't do it justice! Kitchen has everything you need, location is great - close to the beach, bus stop, ABC store etc. The one drawback was the difficult process for going to the pool (prebooking in advance but not far in advance, paperwork, limited to an hour etc.), which was far and beyond anywhere else we've stayed during Covid. Basically if you want a pool do not stay here. But if that's not super important to you, it's fabulous!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a lovely apartment. My husband, step son and I stayed in Waikiki last week for a wedding in this unit. My 8 year old step son loved the pullout couch, which was very easy to pull out and put away during the day. The king size bed was super comfortable. Stunning views up on the 32nd floor, I spent a lot of time on the balcony and we had coffee out there every morning. Nice big shower, with a bench! Easy walk to the beach and the Pink Trolley stop. There is even a shop inside the hotel for food and drinks, and a lovely tiled pool. Next time we are in Waikiki I will book this for sure. I have also recommended it to friends and family.

The place was very clean, comfortable, organized, centrally located. It was only a five minute walk to the beach and a 10 minute walk o the strip of lots of shopping. Friendly staff. If we go back we would definitely stay here again if not we would definitely pick another Cook's property.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A high floor (32) a couple of blocks back from the beach in a quiet location. The apartment faces the hillside with great views. A clean and modern apartment with large bathroom with shower. Open plan living, dining and kitchen. We found the apartment perfect for what we needed e.g you can cook your own meals with full kitchen if needed instead of eating out all the time. It's a five minute walk to the beach and there's an Abc shop just down the road. The block has a pool with sun beds but no umbrellas. Only small negative was the Air con unit was a bit noisy even on lowest fan but it cooled the whole apartment very well. Overall a nice 1 bedroom apartment for a price probably half of what you would pay for a tiny hotel room nearer the beach. We will definitely book this again if we come to Waikiki again.

Note: the availability calendar is approximate. Check your dates on the reservation site.

Insider tips

Good to know at Waikiki Sunset

  • On the sixth-floor pool deck, the pool runs from about 1 to 5 feet deep, and a grassy lawn beside it gives kids room to play, with grills and picnic tables close by.
  • For an early morning walk or run, head to Kapiolani Park or along the Ala Wai, both a short stroll from the lobby, with the Honolulu Zoo an easy walk too.
  • With little ones in tow, the walk to the kids beach at Kuhio is short and easy even at a preschooler's pace, and the sandy shore is a nice place for a swim.
