Excellent condo with more than adequate utensils and supplies. Great location for sites. However bar downstairs so noisy till 10:30 every night and loud traffic on street outside.

Other than no pool the condo is very nice. Nice view of the boat harbor and evening sunsets. Access to beaches is only a 5 minute walk.

Great Location in vibrant area of Honolulu. Condo was mostly as described although furniture a bit more worn than photos. Greeted with a roach on the kitchen counter when entering unit. Also saw a roach scurry under the bath vanity when I turned on the light. When I investigated under vanity, I found a HoyHoy Roach trap/box on a filthy floor. When I told prop mgr., suggesting that they need an exterminator and not "roach boxes", the response was disappointing. They explained that roaches are common in the tropical environment, they do pest control and roaches likely came from the neighbors. We decided to leave next day-2 days early and respectfully asked for at least some credit for the pest issue and were denied. Even a small compensation would have sufficed, but when you force us to take extra time and energy to contact VRBO and then file a claim with our credit card, that is not a host that cares about customer satisfaction.We also received confusing directions to get in in with a photo of a yellow lockbox - it was black. There also was no fob left to access the pool or front door. They said they would have to find a key fob, then noted the next day that the garage fob works for both after all. New management?We did move to a hotel in the area and also stayed in another VRBO condo in Hawaii that both had no roaches, so it appears they can be controlled with regular treatment.The unit is on the 40th-top floor with only one elevator in dire need of cleaning-maintenance.

Loved staying here. Great location slightly offset from the major hustle’n’bustle, yet a stones throw away from all the action - which was exactly what I was looking for. Exceptionally clean, bright and spacious apartment with amazing views of the harbour, out to sea. Thank you for sharing this special place.

Location very good apartment itself was about 600 ft.²Kitchen:Never cooked in unit but was clean Fridge fine: Bedroom and bed very comfortable, main living area good Sofa too soft could use upgrade . Bathroom nothing fancy but clean and adequate. Reny our host was very attentive. Chart house restaurant was excellent. The bar and breakfast place below was also very good.

Unit was nice and has a great view over the Harbour. It was well equipped with everything we required including beach gear! Rex and Erica were great!

This is a great, small condo. It’s a quiet building in a fabulous location where the canal and harbour meet. Within a short walk to the lovely beach in front of Hilton Hawaiian Village, as well as Ala Moana park and beach which is beautiful. It’s nice to be a bit separated from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki but still close enough to enjoy. The condo is very well equipped but I suggest they add a portable drying rack for towels & bathing suits. Would stay again!

We loved everything about our stay here! The condo was very nicely apointed. Modern kitchen with everything you need. Quality, comfortable furniture including the bed. We really felt like we were at home. The location is fantastic with lots of dining, shopping, and beaches nearby. The beach chairs were a great bonus! I would 100 percent stay here again.

My wife and I had stayed at the Ilikai Marina in 2015. We returned to celebrate my 65th birthday. We were not disappointed. We love that area of Waikiki. Close to everything. Close to the Bus,the Trolley and we recommend it highly. The security is great. My Man Kevin G. was awesome. Parking was a bit of a hassle but it all worked out. 33.00 parking is great for that area. Thanks again VRBO

Our second stay in unit 1180. Once again, the folks at Captain Cooke did a fantastic job. The unit is squeaky clean, well set up and stocked with utensils, linens, “stuff you need”. The kitchen is more than adequate for vacation cookery (very little on my part, LOL). The views are excellent, and although Waikiki can be noisy, when you shut the door (only at night for us), it’s whisper quiet. The TV …if you need some word of the outside world…has about a zillion HD channels to a very nice, large flat screen. And if you’re a day sleeper, as I sometimes am, the blackout shades are superb. Bottom line? Will we come back for a third visit? Absolutely. Thanks Captain Cooke.

LOVED the studio! It had everything you needed and more! The bed was super comfortable. Nice having a parking space. We were pleasantly surprised that the studio had beach chairs, a beach umbrella and snorkeling gear. The only downfall was only one elevator out of the two water working and the jets in the hot tub were broken.

Affordable. Overall nice condo. Good kitchen. Very comfortable bed. Excellent shower though bathroom sink rather low. I will say this was the narrowest lanai we've ever encountered 20 plus stays in Hawaii! While very little sitting room did have excellent view of Friday night Waikiki fireworks!

Nice property, the checkin was a nightmare on elm street but luckily we found the right person to help us out or we would have been sleeping in the hall.

Overall we were very happy with our stay! It had all the basic needs and I appreciated a lot that dishes were available for cooking. Most places that you stay at have limited dishes. Location was also great from everything in Waikiki. Highly recommend staying here over a hotel any day.

Great location and being on the 17th floor make this unit quiet. Just as advertised. Loved seeing the fireworks from the balcony on Friday night. We would recommend staying here. Note that there is no washer or dryer in the unit, we didn’t

As advertised, older condo with fantastic water view. Bathroom fan was noisy, needs paint touch up, hot tub wasn't working & table had a broken leaf. But all pots, utinsils, supplies for living & light meals. Nice touch with free beach umbrella, chairs & snorkle equipment.

Great harbor view, good location, lot of restaurants within walking distance. San Poala pizza a must go. The Chart House on flooor 1 has live music every night. Right across from Hilton lagoon. Waikiki strip1 mile away. Beautiful sunset location. Condo has private bedroom and sofa bed was good for 13 year old. Kitchen had everything we needed. Very clean. It is older but everything worked fine. Quick and easy communication with management. Able to get in a little early and stay until noon on Checkout.

The stay was wonderful!There are a few items to improve:1. To lock door when leaving the condo, enter code.2. Parking cost has increased from 28 to 33 per day.3. Handicap parking is located on the 7th floor.

Stayed for a week. Everything was convenient. We Uber for the first few days and then decided to get a rental car. One of the elevators was down when we were there so the wait time was a little long, but not too awful. Having parking on site was a plus for no charge

This is our second stay at this condo. It’s in a great spot, beautiful views over the marina, close to shopping and the beach. The condo is comfortable and has all we needed, although it is looking a little worn in places. It is very noisy in the morning with garbage trucks and traffic and there was construction work being done right below our lanai the week we were there so it was difficult to stay in the condo during the day. But we still enjoyed our visit very much!

Great location in the heart of town. Amazing view of Ala Moana harbor. If you’re staying on a Friday night you will have a perfect view of the fireworks show. The unit is very clean and the kitchen is well equipped. There is no washer and dryer in the unit so you’ll have to go to the laundry room. It can get very noisy at night, (especially on the weekends) even with the doors and windows closed. Parking can be a hassle. I recommend getting a multi-day pass. But you don’t need a car. There is a bus stop around the corner to take you to other parts of the island and you can walk to most of the popular place in town. Overall it was a good place to stay for the price and the location.

Jack's condo was perfect. Great location, very clean and well stocked. To have a parking garage in the building is a major plus. And with the convenient access to the unit even better! Yes, you do pay for parking but I felt it wasn't expensive. The beach and lagoon are very close. Restaurants everywhere and the Chart House entrance is in the Condo lobby. ABC store a block away.Thank you, Jack for a memorable stay!!Ever

Perfect convenient location. Views spectacular. Had 2 sets of adults but only one blanket on arrival. Additional blanket delivered later 2nd night. Communication very slow with realtor. Stated we would get an email at 5 days and 1 day before arrival with a specific 4 digit code for room- never received. But the view made the stay. Convenient to beaches and other POI.

Location is perfect for beaches & sunsets. Accommodations were comfortable except for the bed pillows. Unfortunately, during our stay there was construction going on during the 1st week of our stay without any notifications from property management, noise started way too early & lasted most of the day. Other than that issue, I would stay again.
