We spent a week at this property including two families - 4 adults and 3 children. The check-in process was super easy, the property managers were responsive the one time we needed them, and the location was perfect. The condo was clean and the views were unbelievable. We even got to watch sea turtles and a couple of monk seals hang out in the water and on the beach just below the unit. The owners were also extremely helpful with preparation for our trip, and the unit is well stocked including beach chairs and umbrellas. Highly recommend!!

Let me preface this with the fact that I have worked in the vacation rental and travel industry for over a decade. This is BY FAR the most well appointed rental I have ever stayed in. Every single amenity that was available and design of the space was done so thoughtfully. Captain cook was so responsive and provided a very personalized experience. Don’t even get me started on the view from here. Pictures do not do it justice. Not even a little. To wake up to not one, but 3 different amazing views on either side was a dream. There were days that we spent more time just hanging out on the lanai than on the beach because we were so comfortable and blown away by the changing views. Waikiki shore is in the perfect location to enjoy all that Waikiki has to offer without being in the heart of the chaos or noise. The park next door was always full of gorgeous birds that nested there including the white terns and parrots! Highly highly recommend staying here. This is one of the few places I would stay again (and we are planning to!) Thank you for an absolutely magical experience.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at this unit! The views were incredible. We sat outside every morning and evening. You can hear the waves and can’t get closer to Waikiki beach. If we were to return we would want to stay here again!

This was a last minute rental for us and we were very pleased with the ease of booking it and the quick response from the company. We were blown away by the view from this condo! The place was clean, beds were comfortable and the place had plenty of towels including beach towels. Washer and dryer worked great. It's the perfect location if you are wanting to stay in Waikiki, walk to all the restaurants and shopping.

My wife and I stayed for five nights in June of 2024. The rental was in a safe and convenient location, comfortable and clean, had all the amenities we needed, and had spectacular views of Diamond Head and the beach. Paul Tucker, the Property Manager, assisted us in check-in and was always available for any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again and recommend highly to friends and family!

This 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo at the Waikiki Shore was perfect. The finishings are elegant and of very high quality - the pictures do not do the place justice. There are floor to ceiling sliding glass doors surrounding the condo that open to a comfortable balcony and surrounding views. There are lovely touches everywhere, like the beach equipment, the day bags, and the towels. The condo is centrally located and there are many dining and shopping options around. And the beach is right behind the condo. All in all, a great experience.

We had a great stay! Easy access to the beach and rentals. We enjoyed the swimming and paddle boarding right outside the building, tons of turtles just hanging out. Very special, more private beach location (our vibe), but easy walking distance to the busier beaches and shopping.

This unit at Waikiki Shore was amazing! Just as all other reviews stated. Spacious, clean, views out the balcony and the front door were amazing. 2 A/C units and 2 Fans great for those of us not used to humidity! Decorated nicely, offered a rollaway so our teens didn't have to share a sofabed! There were beach chairs and coolers and a few boogie boards for use too. So close to everything...trolley stop across the street, plenty of food options within steps, beach literally steps away. Our contact Paul was wonderful and I would definitely book this unit again and recommend it to others!

A great view of the beach. Paul was amazing and got us in early and reserved parking in the garage was a plus, so add that if you plan on doing the drive yourself on the island. We didn't stay in the room a lot but it had everything we needed for our stay. You are literally walking distance of so many restaurants and stores. Definitely recommend this spot for solo or couples(with a baby) traveling.

Excellent location in between two large resorts. Great access to beach and lovely view of the ocean. The beach is a bit rocky immediately behind the building but walking in either direction you can avoid the worst of it.

My daughter and I loved this room! It was perfect for our 7day trip. The views were the best part! We watched the sunset from the balcony along with ocean views. Communication with the property manager was quick and friendly. Our own paking spot was such a bonus. Tons of shopping in walking distance and the beach is right is your back yard (5 min walk) If we visit Waikiki again we'll definitely stay here. Thank you!

Great location, lovely updated unit with comfortable furniture, nice decor, fully functional kitchen with new appliances, great lanai, giant closet. Just some nit picky things - no facial tissue, toilet paper holder falling off of wall, rust in shower, wall hair dryer cracked open and looks like a burn/fire hazard, unlabeled wall switch that powers one of the motorized shades - don't turn it off! The owners could spend just a few hours of effort to make this perfect.

As soon as we turned out from the elevator, Diamond Head started us with 6 days of amazing views from everywhere we turned. The condo had everything you needed. Surrounding area had plenty of food and shopping places. ABC store was the main place to buy (Save your receipts for free gifts at the end of your stay). Steak shack was the best! Read all the other reviews for more details! Do the Island tour, Pearl Harbor, Luau, and Hanauma bay!

Nice clean condo on the 9th floor. Able to walk to the beach easily. Beach rentals are pricey, though. Could use a few more kitchen appliances, but overall it was fine. The master bathroom is very tiny and it has a step up into it that you need to remember especially in the middle of the night. In a good location to walk to the downtown area, but traffic is rather noisy in that spot. Wish we could have parked in the underground garage, but their parking is across the street in a open public park. So if we had a lot of things to carry, we had to always go get the car and pull into their 3hr parking up the "hill" to the building. Sometimes, rather inconvenient. Overall, we had a nice stay and they responded fairly quickly when we texted with questions.

This rental was in a top notch location with a great view. From the start, the communication was spot on with Jean meeting me after 10pm even. The parking spot could not have been any closer to the elevator either. I would have zero issue recommending this stay to anyone as not one single issue with the stay or location!

Check is was more difficult than some I have stayed at.
We needed a key for the elevator and then a code for the door and had to bother the property manager to let us in at 10 om at night.
But he was helpful and very nice.
Our parking spot was super small, it would have been nice to know that ahead of time before we rented a car!!
The room was clean and the balcony was awesome.
It needs better cookware as most is old and warped. And it could use some re-arrangement of the closet. Maybe remove the makeup table in the hall and turn it into a closet for the pool chair and such and leave add space for suitcases and more hanging clothes.

I don’t normally take the time to write a review, but this one is certainly worthy! The owner of this rental let us upon checking to deliver our keys, review the property, allow us to ask any questions about the area, and texted during our stay to ensure we didn’t have any issues. He also had a few snacks and drinks for us upon arrival. This was SUCH a kind gesture. If we return to Waikiki, I will 100% reach out to him again. The location is also breathtaking.

This is a clean and well maintained property with a wonderful location. Steps to the beach and the Waikiki strip. The condo was fully stocked and had everything we needed (except pepper and there was only two packs of sugar for a 5 night stay). The AC worked great. The only thing I didn't like was the showerhead. The water pressure was so high and the showerhead only had one setting that it actually hurt on my skin. Felt like tiny razor blades. But it did make me shower fast!

We had a great time. Make sure you don’t close your balcony though. We closed it and it locked behind us. We even went outside our condo and swam with the sea turtles. They’re there daily. Also, don’t forget your water shoes. They’re a must!

Better even than the photos show in the listing!
The lanai offered a tremendous wide view and, with the clever addition of wall mirrors inside and outside, the view was tripled and, together with the all-glass wall, almost as wide and majestic from inside the room.
Great sunsets and surf.

This is a beautiful property with every comfort. Very clean and spacious. Easy check in process. You could stay on the lanai your entire visit and be happy. The view and people watching is spectacular. Best location/building in Waikiki. If you want space, privacy and luxury with all the comforts of home this is your place. Off property parking is not an issue and is actually easier to get in and out of than the building garage.

The condo is beautiful and was very clean and has a great kitchen. However, the location of the building is right at a busy corner, which made getting in and out of the garage a bit stressful. A lot of things within walking distance but the area is very crowded with people and traffic. We really had no problems with the room, but I did have a couple questions, but the property owner was pretty unresponsive. He also wasn’t available for our checkin so someone who was not very familiar with the room did our checkin. No instructions at all on how to operate the tv (there’s like 4 different remotes in the room) and the WiFi name on the small information sheet was incorrect. Overall though our stay was nice.

The Unit needs serious TLC. Master AC unit had strong odor of Mildew and had a hard time cooling the room. Side window of the sliding glass doors did not close, all blinds did not close and thus let in the hot western sun. Carpet was worn and stained, master bath toilet leaked and the master shower/tub shower combo is very slippery when wet and needs some non slip on the floor. We were very aware that this unit needed updates from the picture. We did choose this unit because of the higher floor. The location and staff were great.
