We loved the location and the flat. Having a designated parking space was amazing. Lots of good food w/in walking distance. It was also nice to have chairs/boards for the beach! The only reason why we are not leaving a 5 star review is because of the bathroom. We were given two sets of towels for two people for a week. This is not enough. The bathtub/shower has great water pressure but because of it the curtain is constantly touching you while bathing. The drain was also clogged so we had to remove it so the tub wasn't filling up while showering and it was full of hair which is gross. Otherwise the place is amazing. There could be some areas of improvement on checkin and checkout process re: the FOB for the garage and elevator but it all worked out in the end.

Really enjoyed it, only lacking storage for clothes, drawers etc. Found that a little difficult. Otherwise ok. even clothes wardrobe was very sparse, allcleaning products took up the room.

We had everything we needed. The location is excellent. The fact that we had a parking space was priceless.
It is noisy at night, city noise.
You have to keep checking the AC drip bucket often because if you forget, water leaks out the balcony and the building management immediately gives you a written warning threatening turning off your AC if it happens again. So, just don’t forget :)

Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay. The unit is as-advertised. It has a great view of the skyline and the ocean, is very spacious, and is in a great location near the core shopping district and the beach. The unit is well-appointed and we appreciated the beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. Our only complaint was the noise. We were prepared for this as it was mentioned in other reviews. The club below (Cuckoo Coconuts) is very loud, but fortunately the band stops playing at 10PM sharp. There is also a lot of city noise, particularly the garbage collection below VERY early in the morning, but I'm sure this is common with many locations around the city. Overall, we would stay there again and definitely enjoyed our time.

Parents can enjoy king size bed, bathroom and a separate entrance. Teen age boys can flop on Murphy bed and pull out couch in main room with dinner room, kitchen and bathroom.The separate entrance lets the teens have some freedom.
Yes it’s noisy In Waikiki at times, but let’s focus on the beautiful sunset and the good things, like the washer and dryer set location in the kitchen and the fact that this unit is spacious.
Not ideal for 2 couples because the other beds are ok and in the common area, the king size bed was fantastic.

The location is amazing, close to everything. The place is nice, it’s an old apartment in an old building. You could see that same renovations happened in the apartment, so the overall feeling is nice, it doesn’t feel old or messy. Check in and out was extremely easy!

Great place. Penthouse location, facing sunset each evening, space for the four of us to stretch out and enjoy the views, weather and time together.
The space was as advertised. We used the kitchen for three meals and found it was lacking dish towels and hot pads. We let the company know and the next day when we returned from our adventures...dish towels and hot pads were waiting at our door.
Great service and location. We will rent from Captain Cook again.

There are some positives with this condo. Location is in the heart of Waikiki, the assigned parking stall will save you time and money, kitchen with cookware and utensils, rice cooker, coffee maker, and wi-fi, however the initial check-in instructions was a nightmare. There were 2 separate email instructions, one on how to get into your room, and another with instructions on how to get into the combination mailbox to get your key fob to use the elevator and to access the parking garage. The second no-reply email was so tiny and unreadable but since the subject stated check in Instructions, we already received instructions previously, so we're good. We couldn't park, access the mailbox, the elevator, or our room. There was no way to contact the owner's because there was no contact information in any prior emails. It took over 2 hours with some help from my sister, who is a relator, to reach someone. There's no local or cable t.v., however if you like extremely loud music until 10 p.m. this place is for you. However in the owner's Welcome Binder in the room, they do state: "Remember!! This is not a Hotel, but affordable condo! We don't provide customer service." Facts, however I would stay here again. For the price, you cant beat it.

Great location in Waikiki - you can easily walk to so many shops and restaurants and of course the beach. One of the big "selling points" for us was that it came with a parking space for a rental car at no extra charge/fee! It was nice and clean and equipped with all that we needed for our week long stay! We enjoyed making our breakfasts each morning and sitting out on the lanai enjoying the beautiful weather and views.

We had a lovely time in this rental during our trip to Hawaii. The room is small but it was enough space for us. The building and some aspects of the room are definitely older and not very polished or updated (bathroom for example) but who needs fancy when you're in Hawaii? We knew we weren't going to be spending a lot of time in the room and really only using it for sleeping. If you are a light sleeper or are sensitive to noise, I would recommend earplugs or looking for somewhere else to stay. Even though it is high up in the building, the room is very loud at night, you can hear a lot of noise from the street and especially on the weekends, the party might last until 3 or 4am in Waikiki so be mindful of that. Free parking was deluxe and rare to find in Waikiki so that's a big plus. Staff was very friendly and let us keep our luggage behind the front desk after check out since our flight wasn't until 11pm. Overall, it's a very good unit and a great option if you're looking to save some money on accommodation. Location is great too, very walkable to beach.

When I first arrived there was some unrelated issues with parking that the host very quickly helped me resolve. The Flat was clean and well supplied. Some reviewers complained about roaches, we say none at all, but know this: it's the tropics, even the fanciest hotels get infestations. I lived in Honolulu for 7 years and it was a constant battle I never really won. "Clean your house and you get cleaner bugs" is a common saying around here.
The only real con was that the fridge stopped working, or never really worked. The freezer was fridge temp, the fridge was barely below room temperature, and when I tried texting the host through VRBO, they never got back to us. All of our produce rotted the next day. We had planned to cook most of our food, but we spent a lot more money eating out as a result.

We enjoyed our stay at the Marine Surf. It has everything we could have wanted. We did take the time to go to Walmart to purchase an Air Fryer because we do like to do our own cooking and the air fryer is our "go to". We did bring the table an chairs into the room from the balcony in order to be able to sit and have our meals comfortably. My mom is 83 and found the stools to not be very comfortable. But it all worked out. We simply brought the table and chairs in for meals and then took it back out at the end of our meal. We very much enjoyed being able to play crib in the evenings out on the balcony.Thank you for the wonderful stay.

The place was tastefully decorated and the designated parking spot that comes with the rental is a huge plus. The location is very convenient with restaurants, shops and the beach in walking distance. Noise from the tiki bar downstairs (very loud) and a fair amount of street noise (e.g. people screaming, cars/bikes racing, sirens from police chasing them) every night was bothersome. Additional noise reduction (e.g. better sliding doors) would be helpful but it's an older building and in dead center of Waikiki so a bit unavoidable.

I stayed for 3 nights. Check in was at 3 pm. I arrived at 330 &the door has a key pad to type in a code to get in. I received an email the day before with check instructions with the code. I tried it 5 times and nothing worked. I called the number on file and a lady answered and I explained what's going on. She said she would get back to me in a little. 15 minutes passed and I called back went to voicemail. Then another 30 passed called again went to voicemail. I was basically stranded out of my own vrbo that I already paid for. I decide to go downstairs and just wait. I was so upset because I kept trying to call and it led me to voicemail EVERY TIME. Finally she calls back says she called someone to basically break the door down so that I can get into the facility. The man finally comes around 6:45 pm.... he tells me the battery on the lock on the door is dead that's why its not opening. This man literally had to unscrew the sides of the door so he could open the door and then change the batteries. The lady decides to text me instead of call me for updates. At this point I just did not understand why we were communication via text when she had my phone number.
So just imagine if the vendor did not come and help break the door open? They already took my money& I would've had to find a place to stay for a night until the next day IF they planned for someone to come help me in the next day. No check out instructions emailed either. Just waiting on my deposit reimbursed to me

Overall great place and walking distance for everything in Waikiki in my opinion. I walked everywhere and drove where I needed to drive. Was a bit strange though because one of the property managers came to our room on the 18th floor and told us to turn our music down, and that smoke was coming from the balcony, me and my buddy don’t smoke anything and music was low so we found that a bit odd. I’d stay here again for sure though, definitely recommended! Thank you!
