Loved the place, loved the responsiveness of the owners with check-in times, beautiful condo/apartment, and so many things to do around the area. Would do again.

Great location. Great communication with property manager. Check in super easy. No gym on site like listed. Washer and dryer are a pay use and only one dryer works. People from other floors use them so really difficult to do laundry. Dishwasher does not work. Lots of pigeon poop on patios and patio furniture. Wish that was cleaner. We cleaned it. The view is amazing for patio.

First and foremost I have to mention how comfortable the bed was. I am old enough that mattresses matter. I'm a side sleeper who wakes up with pressure point and back pain but not here. The mattress was amazing. I kept running into the bed frame but it was worth it.Love the location which is still around shops and restaurants but away from alot of the noise of the marketplace. Beautiful view from the lanai. You can see the ocean, lagoon, and the almost nightly show put on at the hilton hawaiian village. We were able to see most of the Friday night fireworks, the Hilton partially obstructed our view from the lanai but if we had gone downstairs we definitely would've been able to see them.The condo was clean with the basics you would expect. I do wish there were some basic cooking ingredients like oil and common seasonings but I know that varies per property. The other thing I looked for but didn't find was a broom however there was a vacuum and a swifer mop.Parking is not included but you can find free and hourly parking on the property as well as valet. Also the ilikai puts on a show every Friday free for its guests which was nice.

We will definitely use this condo again. It is located in a perfect location. We so enjoyed all the local restaurants nearby as well as the beach is only steps away. Easy access to the property and the one bedroom condo is nicely appointed. Highly recommend. The parking was so convenient and easy

I would not consider this a “luxury” condo. Attention to detail was just not there (dirty dingy rugs, dust throughout, needed paint, etc). Pocket door to the bathroom did not work when we arrived, I called the property manager who then asked me to call the mx person (I should have only had to make 1 phone call). Unit right above us was doing renovations so it was super noisy. I guess I missed it when looking at the unit but there is NO washer/dryer in the unit. Location was in a good spot, but I would not go back.

The space was good, but it didn’t appear to have been vacuumed in awhile, which was weird because everything else was very clean.

This was our second time staying in the exact same apartment. We were very happy with it and found Captain Cook to be excellent to deal with.

Beautiful condo. Only issue are the load old fashioned AC units and the lack of reserved parking. You can valet for a first come, first serve basis of 45 which is nearly the price of renting a vehicle. Everything else about the condo was magnificent. The Ilikai lobby escalators do not work but there is a side-elevator for those needing to lug suitcases or grocery from the road-side. Lots of nice shops at the lobby including a small market, Dave's famous icecream, try the "chocolate macadamia", it is iconic for those who grew up in Honolulu. The condo is very nice, two balconies. Master balcony has a wonderful view of the Hilton Hawaiian Roof top show. Traffic sometimes can be load but its just because of few inconsiderate bikers or vehicles with attached muffler "screamers". Otherwise, it is nice to appreciate the view and traffic flow below and sometimes local events on that street. The trash room is too far, near the elevator and is basically just a large plastic trash can and not a chute.

We love this condo and asked to extend our vacation by a couple of days with a late check out. The host was very accommodating for this request. The only thing the condo needs is something to clean the balcony with as we stayed for two weeks and the birds would leave "presents" every morning and it got disgusting. Other than that, we would definitely stay here a third time.

The rooms were large, the layout was perfect and the deck was amazing. The host was very communicative with any questions or concerns I had. Additionally, there were signs for easy use of items or area. There was some residue from what I assume was a previous wedding party with decorative confetti (Mr. and Mrs.) but in general, the place was clean and orderly. I would extremely recommend this location for big families.

The suite was NOT a suite and the VRBO site advertisement was very misleading. The room was not well kept at all. Railings on the lanai had old bird poop all over them. There was also a bunch of beach stuff haphazardly piled in a corner of the lanai. The fitted Sheets did not fit the bed popped off when you sat on tbe bed. Very disappointed with this rental. I have pictures, but the site won't allow me the attach below

The reservation, communications with property managers, logistics were all amazing. Very smooth, very well managed, responsive, helpful, and nice. Truly couldn't ask for more. The room itself is a nice size, party of two had plenty of room and not climbing over each other to get around. The furnishings are fine, they are showing some age (carpet, sofa pillows), we noticed but it wasn't bothersome.We really loved being able to walk to Ala Moana (mall) and other parts of Waikiki from the Ilikai.

Very nice hotel/resort. I've pool area with food and beverage service. Our room was as described with nice open floor plan and kitchen and living room space. My only suggestion is to update photos as the room was older than it appears on the photos presented but other than that a great place to stay for families

We loved our stay, We have a condo 3 blocks from the water, decided to stay with a water view this year, the view was perfect weather was great. Rosina was wonderful to deal with. Loved the ice cream parlor on property. I do wish the on site pool stayed open later. Its a 10 minute walk to main shops and restaurants.

A little outdated. Definitely needs a new mattress. But me and my husband always go to Hawaii to be outside so we barely spent any time in the unit. The view was amazing. The building was awesome, and the valet parking was a must. Right next to the best restaurant in Alamoana. Close to all activities. Peair was looking for somewhere to just rest your head. This is the place.

It was a great stay for us, the view from the balcony was awesome. Walking distance to all shops and restaurants. My only complaint about the condo is the window AC in the master bedroom. It is old and very very noisy, it sounded like a big bang that continues until it auto turn off. The entire stay was horrible. I called the number and complained about it, a maintenance person came but did not fix it. The master bedroom need a new AC.

This studio met all of our needs. It was neat and clean.

Pros:* Clean condo* Incredible views from the lanai* Comfortable bed* Direct view of the fireworks on Friday nights.Cons:* Description of available household items is not clear, and needs to be communicated beforehand. Example: no sheet pans available to make dinner, even though there is an oven.* The track to the sliding glass door to the lanai is sticky and hard to close and open.
