This is the 5th or 6th time we have stayed at Waikiki Shore. It simply can’t be beaten and Captain Cook are great hosts. The view from the lanai is the best. Can’t wait to return.

My husband and I spent a week here and loved our choice! The location and views from the Lanai are wonderful! We loved the location, beach access, clean building & security and Paul, the host, was super responsive and helpful! The kitchen doesn’t have much for utensils or cookware but everything else is fantastic! Would definitely stay here again!

This place is better than the pictures. The views are fabulous. The doors and windows were wide open all the time and the ocean breeze wafted through and the waves crashed below. Everything was excellent, from the high quality sliding doors to the appliances to the beds. Cannot imagine a more perfect experience.

This apartment checked off my must have list. Fabulous location, convenient parking included , air-conditioning, an in-unit washer/dryer and a king sized bed. The apartment is very nice and exactly as seen in the photos. It could use either a dresser or some kind of horizontal furniture (even luggage racks would be fine) in the bedroom so suitcases can either be unpacked or have a place to sit on and utilize when they are opened. The kitchen area has a coffee pot but would benefit from a toaster as we ate breakfast in every day. Plenty of blankets, pillows and towels are provided, but the towels are very poor quality and both small and scratchy. It would also be nice if beach towels were provided. The air conditioning is set to a very low temperature (excessively cold) and we could not find any control to adjust it. Our biggest complaint is that the real estate company that manages it, is very bad at communication. They do not respond to emails or phone calls and we had to physically go to their office to speak with someone to deal with a situation that we needed help with. It was taken care of, but it should not necessitated a trip to their office. A day or two later we were sent a text asking how they could help us. Overall, a very good stay.

We found the property needs a very deep cleaning especially the floors. Our feet and socks were black after walking on the floors. The small bathroom shower is a bad accident waiting to happen, Needs slip proof installed and a grab bar, also deep cleaning. Parking situation is very poor for disabled people. Very noisy.

Stayed here for the view. And we weren't disappointed. Saw fireworks from Hilton lagoon from the balcony. And witnessed a seal swim up to shore and sunbath the day away. The Beach is an elevator ride and steps away. And personal beach chairs and umbrella. No need to spend extra $$ for rentals. Condo Checkin Staff very friendly had excellent recommendations & were very helpful with a luggage storage issue. This place was the highlight of our trip we never wanted to leave the balcony. Donna checked in with us during our stay and was response time was timely to my questions. Definitely stay here. I would have stayed here longer.

This was by far the best experience in Waikiki we could have asked for. We were in town for a conference, and didn't want to stay in the busy, crazy conference center. We were able to be within walking distance of the conference but still out of the way enough to have quiet evenings and gorgeous views. The place is quiet, the other occupants are friendly, and the host was incredibly accommodating for all of our needs. This is a wonderful place to stay and 100% I would return.

The Waikiki Shores has the best views. All units lanai face the ocean. The higher floors (5 on up) have unobstructed views. Unit 1205 is excellent. It was clean and well furnished. Sit back and enjoy the views of ocean and on Fridays - fireworks.

Great base camp to explore from. Nice little beach. Bring supplied chairs and umbrella or go to end of building and rent chaise lounge chairs and umbrella for 60 for the day. Get ten off for early bird. Get another five off showing your room key.

We stayed for 6 nights at this property and would highly recommend. The unit was clean and perfectly stocked. The pull-out couch was comfortable and the unit was a perfect size for two adults. The check in was a seamless process and the key-less code entry on the door was extremely convenient (no key to carry to the beach!). The view from the deck was absolutely fantastic and we enjoyed sunsets over the ocean on many evenings! The Ilikai itself was a great place to stay. Not overly crowded but a nice level of activity and great places to sit and enjoy the marina. It was centrally located so that we could walk to many of the activities that we were interested in. A small grocery store across the street let us get everything that we needed. The wading pool on the second floor had less kids and was a wonderful spot to relax. The condo was equipped with beach chairs and umbrellas. Having a parking space for our rental was fantastic and let us fully explore the island! Since we are from Boston, it may be a while until we can return, but I would absolutely stay here again if we are lucky enough to get back to Ohau!

The pictures do not lie, the views are great. The location is also pretty good, right down the street are a ton of restaurants and places to shop. The beach though was super rocky, so be prepared to walk a little to get to a more sandy portion. When we got there we had to pay an additional to park ourselves. But parking was super Convenient right on the property, we parked on the upper level and it was a little tight. The bed was super hard. They gave us two towels for the whole week and told us to wash them if we needed more. We insisted we wanted more so they did bring us two more. While only giving us one thing of laundry detergent, so we had to ask for more of that as well. So be prepared to pay some resort fees without the actual “resort” benefits. No housecleaning available. The room was a little smaller than I anticipated but it worked for the two of us. So great location, okay room. But it was cheaper than some of the other options so you get what you pay for.

This is a better bang for your buck than the hotel behind it - room was a great size for one person and had all the extras to make you feel like it’s your own condo. I was here for a week on business and the views from the room are incredible no matter the time of day. If you need parking, would recommend the garage under the building vs the parking lot across the street.

This unit was amazing. Everything was top of the line and well furnished. There were beach supplies for our use and basics to get us started. The star of the show is the beautiful view from the lanai of the coastline and sunset. The property is within walking distance to great restaurants, shops and of course ABC stores to pick up supplies. Paul is a great host and we will definitely stay here again.

The best location on Waikiki. Large green space 71 acres (Fort DeRussey Museum) adjacent to Waikiki Shore. Unobstructed view of beach. All units face the beach. The lower room numbers are closer to the beach. If unit is managed by Outrigger you can use the pool next door. Our unit 805 was spotless and trouble free during our stay. Thirty eight year airline employee, traveled a lot, this building is one of the best.

Flying from New Zealand to east coast US, we decided on a few days layover in Hawaii to make the trip easier. We chose this apartment for its location and beautiful views. We also chose it for what appeared in the photos to be a beautiful apartment. While it served our purpose, the apartment is very dated and needs a bath and kitchen renovation at the least. We had hoped to prepare some of our own meals, but the kitchen was not adequate. On the bright side, the location is ideal and there are great restaurants nearby. And the sunsets from the balcony are beautiful.

My spouse and kids (13 and 9) stayed here and we were very comfortable. We had a pull out bed and inflatable mattress for the kids and they were both happy and with the arrangement. Note that the pull out couch bed could easily fit two kids, they just wanted their own space. Paul was great and accommodating. Place is as described and listing is accurate. We had no issues with the dryer and did multiple loads of laundry per day. Yes there are birds on the balcony, they are tiny and cute, not like seagulls or pigeons coming to fight you for your last french fry! I already checked about going back next March and unfortunately the price is now about $150CAD more per night than we paid so we are sadly priced out now :/ We appreciated the place a lot and think anyone would be very happy here. The location is amazing and so is the view.

This was a perfect location for our spring break trip. Everything we needed was in the room, right in the beach, gorgeous views, walkable access to many local shops and restaurants, and quick rideshare rides to the pier. Tip - mention you are staying at the Waikiki Shore to get a discount on umbrella and chair rentals from the booth at the rear of the building.

From the moment we walked in the building, I got a sense that this was going to be great, and it didn't disappoint. The accommodations were exactly as described and even better. We truly felt we were in 5-star accommodations. The location was spot on. We were close and just close enough to everything. We walked everywhere. The beach out front wasn't that busy so it was nice to have elbow room. I would definitely recommend this place and would gladly stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay! It was our first time visiting Hawaii and Captain Cook Resorts made it amazing. Unit 1310 had breathtaking views, it was the perfect location, beautiful, and clean. Our daughter has decided to attend UH Manoa in the fall, so we will definitely be returning and our first choice will be to stay at a Captain Cook Resorts location. Gene was the perfect host and went above and beyond with his willingness to help at all times!

Location is great, Paul was very helpful. Biggest complaint, the bed is horrible, just a thin foam pad on top of a box spring. Other than that the location and ease of access to beach is great. Parking is across street with key fob. If the bed is replaced I would stay again.

Amazing spot! Watch the sunset every night and the fireworks on Friday from your lanai. Be in the beach 60 seconds from your front door. The unit is well-laid out and has lots of thoughtful touches. We would definitely stay here again.
Do note that it's not actually a king bed, it's two twin beds shoved together, so there's a big ridge in the center. And the location is amazing, but not very quiet or private; would recommend a white noise machine and earplugs to sleep

I stayed 4 weeks. Paul, the rental agent, did a nice job, very friendly and accommodating with extra supplies after the second week when I was running low. It wasn’t required, so I really appreciated it. The condo location is wonderful. Here are my issues. First - DO NOT USE THE DRYER! IT SINGES/BURNS YOUR CLOTHES! I had 5 shirts ruined with burn marks. Only “Air Fluff” is safe, but it takes forever to dry clothes that way. Second, using the TV/Spectrum Cable system is frustrating and cumbersome. It’s necessary to use multiple remotes most of the time, and getting the on screen channel guide to work is nearly impossible! There ought to be a printed guide left in the condo for a quick reference for renters. Yes the unit was clean, but does show its dating and wear. The balcony is a favorite spot for birds, so expect lots if bird droppings which is messy. The condo in my opinion is definitely too small for 4 adults. A couple with 2 young children under 5 or 6 maybe. I wouldn’t discount a return to this condo, but would seriously consider others first.

We stayed for 3 nights. The location was awesome! The sunset from the lanai was beautiful, the condo is steps from Waikiki Beach and the downtown area with shopping, restaurants and bars. We loved having designated, safe, assigned parking. The only feedback we have is checking in at a property down the road was a little weird when you are unfamiliar with the area and the bed is actually 2 twin beds pushed together. It was very uncomfortable and unless there is a reason you need 2 twin beds in a one bedroom, I would highly recommend upgrading to a comfy king bed.

The condo is very nicely furnished, comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed. The bonuses were the great balcony perfect for sunsets and the lovely green space and palm trees of the park next door. Close walking distance to great restaurants, beach activities and shopping. The area felt safe and was easy to access from different parts of the city. Parking was very convenient as well. Street noise was pretty loud but improved at night with closed doors and using the AC on warmer nights. The elevators were very busy probably due to spring break crowds. Check in and out was fast and easy. I would recommend this unit and would stay again.

Since we didn't want to rent a car, location to the beach and amenities was forefront in our search criteria! Easy access to Outrigger Reef next door where we could grab Starbucks before grabbing a Lyft to places we needed to go to for our friends wedding festivities. Secure building was really appreciated. The room was clean and as described with a really lovely view. Beachside Lounge chair and umbrella rental for a discounted price for the staying here was a perk that we enjoyed a couple of times. Excellent hosts. I would stay here again.

The property is safe, clean and well located. The room is in immaculate condition and both the property manager and the owner were very attentive to our needs. The room was laid out quite well and the view was outstanding. It is hard to find something to criticize. The only thing I could find is that although the cookware is quite adequate, it should be replaced. Me and my wife were totally satisfied with our stay. Aloha!

I have never loved a rental more than I loved this place. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. Walking in upon check-in (which was a great process and so nice to have a person to show us around when getting in) to big open walls of windows was amazing and set the stage for a wonderful 4 nights. It is rare for me to be content spending time in a rental, but this place was a destination itself. We have 4 kids and actually really enjoyed the smaller beach area out front as there were other people there but it never felt crowded like further down Waikiki beach feels. Our kids were able to play catch with a football any time they wanted without trouble. Sunset view was perfect from the balcony and also loved the great view of the city at night. Cannot rave about this rental more.
