The room itself was just as advertised. The 2 of us enjoyed our stay and being a condo made things easier than staying in a hotel. First impressions of the bus was not great, we arrived late at night, went up to get the parking pass and went in what I think was a service elevator (lined with wood) then the hallway was dark and needing an upgrade. The room itself , I was pleasantly surprised. It was clean and nice.

Such a wonderful experience for all of us. The condo was comfortable and had everything we needed. The toilet has a problem because it gets stuck and runs, but other than that it was perfect.

The condo is spacious and offers a marvellous view just by looking out the glass sliding door! Even better, Dimond Head is well in sight when stepping out onto the balcony. The location is very convenient: less than 10-minute walk to Waikiki beach, shops, and restaurants. My family and I took walks in the neighbourhood almost every day during our stay and had fun time visiting International Market Place and Royal Hawaiian Center. Parking is free and was easy to find a parking space. The laundry room is only 10 steps away from the condo. Can pay by credit card through an app or coins (quarter). Although there was a misunderstanding on check in process, the issue was quickly resolved after I filled out a check-in form at the security desk on the ground level. Chris and Sara were responsive and helpful to my inquiries. Highly recommended to anyone who is considering to vacation in Waikiki.

My husband and I stayed for 7 days in this unit and parking was included. We never had a problem finding a spot each night. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for our needs. This included a small coffee maker (buy your own filters) toaster, dishes and pans to cook with, to name a few.

Unit was beautiful, clean and views were totally magical! Georgous sunsets and views of Diamond Head! Bed was comfy and shower had great water pressure. Close to EVERYTHING! (Restaurants, shopping and beach). Appreciate attention to amenities like beach chairs, beach umbrella and boogie board. Management communication was great and process to check in was seamless. Only downside was some street noise and feral roosters crowing. Would definitely recommend and stay there agsin!

We traveled with two kids under 3, and it was one of the best location in Waikiki. It was quiet, but still 5 min walk from the beach, AND the zoo. We walked along the beach and rarely needed our car unless you were going outside of Waikiki. Kameron was also a great host- he responded immediately to our questions. I would definitely stay here again.

First impression of this property wasn't the best driving up. It is an old building and their is a torn down property next door with homeless people right outside your door. Which I think is quite common but nonetheless a bit of a turn off especially with kids. The apartment building is quite old and in need of a Reno but the unit itself was exactly as pictured, clean with a beautiful view of the mountains. It accommodated our family of five just fine for the 6nights we stayed. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions and very accommodating. It was in nice close walking distance to the main drag and had some good food trucks close by. The pool was nice and clean but would be nice if there was a small playground for young kids.. overall we enjoyed our time here. The unit made up for the rest of the building and the cost was reasonable.

We didn’t spend much time in Waikiki. We loved the location of the condo and felt like it was central to doing activities all over the island. The laundry on site was helpful. Plenty of tp, paper towels and kitchen supplies for cooking. Lots of towels which was nice for our group. We loved the patio and that we were provided boogie boards, a beach cart and beach toys(also had life vests, a floater). The cooler was fantastic for our day trips. The free parking And ease of use of the garage was helpful. Condo was clean and the kids loved the bunks. Thank you!

The view from our balcony was just as the photo shows! We also were not far from the beach and other attractions of Waikiki, such as restaurants. The only somewhat difficult thing that we faced was unlocking the door to the condo. The coded box on the door was very tempermental to operate, and often took many attempts to open, but we always succeeded.

This place is excellent for anyone interested in staying on Oahu. It’s conveniently located near many attractions, very walkable and close to the ocean. The space is very nice, has extras like the beach toys, fully stocked kitchen utensils and welcome snacks / coffee! We were very comfortable in the room. We were able to walk to dinner each night, the zoo and beach access. Having the laundry available was also great. I highly recommend staying here, Courtney was a wonderful host.

Hall way smelled. Room was drab and dirty and also smelled. It was not as pictured on website. We stayed one night as we arrived late and were tired. We found a different hotel and left the next day. Expedia should not have this property on its site.

We were met by Jeannie the property manager, who was extremely helpful, and made us feel welcome. The studio was perfect for our short stay and, in our opinion, located in the best part of Waikiki. Due to the small size of the studio, it was equipped with only basic needs, which was understandable. The bed was very comfortable, so we slept well every night. Although a t.v. was available, we did not watch it.We enjoyed the balcony which faced north. We have had balconies facing Diamond Head before, and could never sit outdoors due to the hot sun, whereas, this balcony wasshaded all day,Although there was beach equipment we did not use them, but it was to know they were there for our use.It was nice to know that we could store our luggage at the front desk of the hotel, if we needed on departure.As seasoned travelers, we appreciated the Red Ginger studio, which was reasonably priced for Waikiki. We would stay there again.

We spent ten days in this condo with our teenage daughters, and our experience was absolutely fantastic! The location is excellent, and we especially appreciated the easy parking. The condo is spotless and incredibly well-equipped—we didn’t miss a thing. Everything is thoughtfully arranged for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.We highly recommend this condo—100%! If we could give it more than 10 out of 10, we definitely would. We would love to stay here again!Close to the beach, the grocery store (Safeway) as well as Leonard's and the Rainbow drive in;Thank you very much to Courtney and her team!

This was our fourth stay with Captain Cook. I highly recommend them. They were great and accommodating. Our only problem this time was the building we stayed in had water issues so needless to say we had two weeks with no hot water.. we got warm water, which made showers very inconvenient. The property manager did try to help us out and gave us another room to shower in for two days while it was available. We did not use it as it was more inconvenient. Would like to be compensated in someway if available, but I do thank them for everything.

We had an in incredible time staying in this property for a week. My 3 year and 8 month old loved the property too. WiFi is high speed, Disney is on TV and the kids beds were big help. Personally me and my husband loved the spot on location. It’s close to almost everything. And the bed was perfect and the water pressure in the shower was perfect. Both Jena and Courtney were super responsive and we got our checkout extended so proactively. I am coming back here to stay whenever we visit Honolulu next!

Lovely place to come home to after a tiring day out exploring or at the beach, recharge, and get back out to enjoy the rest of the night. View was very nice and peaceful to wake up to in the morning.

My daughter and I spent New Years week at this rental. It was perfect for us. We arrived a bit early and the room was still being cleaned. We decided to drop our bags at the front desk and get some supplies. Because you are not a hotel guest…they charge 5 a bag to do this. Chris and Sara authorized an early check in as soon as the room was ready which was great.The kitchen was very well stocked with dishes and glasses and everything we needed really. Some basic food items had been left behind from various renters…some of these came in handy. The beds were comfy. There are lots of extra pillows and blankets. We did not use the pull out in the living room. Everything worked well in the bathroom…but we couldn’t locate an electrical outlet in there…which was a bit problematic. Adding a full length mirror to the unit would be a plus!The beach chairs and toys are well used. We donated a boogie board to the cause. It was super handy to have these available.The sliding glass door out to the patio is quite hard to move…but once out there…what a wonderful view!! We were able to watch the fireworks from the unit, which was great!The garbage area was right down the hall…as well as the coin laundry. This was very handy and easy.We used the pool a few times…it was quite busy and only gets the morning sun. It can get quite chilly once in the shade.Shops and restaurants were all in walking distance. Plenty of options for beach swimming.

Well situated only a 10 minute walk to the beach, restaurants and stores. The unit is a little older but well kept. It is a little confusing because some of the units are personally owned and some are managed as a hotel. It was nice to have coffee as well as other little touches available. We had a minor issue with hot water which was the property's issue and when I contacted the owner, he was extremely responsive. The view from the balcony is amazing with Diamond Head on one side and the beach on the other. Would I stay here again? Absolutely.

This was a lovely apartment for us to spend our week in Waikiki. Superb location. Spectacular views. Well-appointed apartment. The only challenges I would note are the building is quite dated, elevator wait is long, beds on the small side and AC unit very loud. Overall, we had a very good stay. Good and timely interactions with the owner.

We stayed with our 2 boys (9 &11) for a week in the suite and had an amazing time. The unit is spacious and clean. The kitchen is well equipped, we cooked a few dinners and made breakfast there each day. The kids slept comfortably in the bunks. We shared the bed in the same room, was cozy but manageable. The bathroom was clean and towels are provided, there were beach towels as well. A small patio had 2 chairs and small drink table. We were pleased to find a beach umbrella and beach chairs on the patio. There was a small cooler and a couple of boogie boards as well. The 6th floor has a great pool for the kids 1' to 5' deep, loungers surrond the pool area. There is also a large green space where the boys played soccer. There is also BBQ's and picnic tables here for fist come first serve use. There are ABC stores on every corner that have all sorts of foods and drinks and every souvenier you can think of. The beach is a 3-4 min walk away and is amazing for sunsets. There are numerous restaurants withing a short walking distance. We rented a car and used the free onsite parking, it was a great bonus. Comminucation was great with Chris. He was prompt and flexible on our check out time, which was a huge relief with an 11:45pm flight out. Thank you Chris.

The apartment is exactly like it is on the website. The building is over 30 floor, co-mingled with hotel rooms. Easy walking (about 10 minutes) to Waikiki's busy commercial area, full of restaurants, shopping malls, hotels, and even to the beach (further walking). The 1-bed room apartment was clean, space is good for two to three persons. A/C was working fine. Two cooking pots were stainless steel, which is great. The rest was non-stick. The stove is induction, easy to use. The towels supplied were two sets, probably enough for two persons. Requesting extra bed sheets and towels would be charged according to the rules displayed on the counter. The balcony door. facing west, is not openable, though.

This condo is exactly as pictured and more! Courtney, the host, was super responsive and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. While the building is a bit outdated, the unit is remodeled very tastefully and was very clean. Our kids loved the bunk beds! We arrived to a cute welcome basket with local goodies which I thought was a special touch. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, a mat, and boogie boards for us to use during our stay. There were even a couple life vests for toddlers and a small bucket of sand toys. There is a washer and dryer at the end of the floor. You pay via an app and it notifies you how much time is left/when the load is done! Courtney provided a couple detergent pods for guest use which was so nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be recommending this property to our friends! 10/10!

We like the Waikiki Sunset because it is in a convenient location close to beach, zoo, and Kapahulu Avenue. Parking was a great plus. However, the parking attendant lady was grouchy and doesn't listen to any explanation. A tip to visitors is to use Kapahulu Ave. for entry and exit due to traffic bottleneck on Kalakaua Ave. and Alawai Canal.
