"Great location with amazing view!
My family and I loved our stay. Kitchen was equipped with everything you need. Unit is exactly what's pictured. We watched the fireworks every Friday from the lanai. Only down side, we went during construction and only one elevator was working the entire month for all guests and workers. Other than that, we had an amazing stay and would love to go back. "

"5 Star views & location - 4 star interior & 3 star parking space
Awesome views and fantastic location right on the beach. Close to great restaurants (Tommy Bahama, Yardhouse, PF Changs) and tons of shopping. Property is quiet at night and well kept. Only disappointments at this price point were the master bathroom (cramped, outdated, toilet sits very low), the extremely tight parking space (you have to park against a wall) and the deck furniture which is white plastic. But these are minor when you spend so much time out of the condo unit. Would come back again."

"Ideal location...
A great choice for our eight day vacation. This condo is just as photos portray. Beautiful ocean and city views and ideal location, to shopping, restaurants and beach. All within walking distance from the condo. The parking space for this unit is small, so an SUV size vehicle will NOT fit. Condo is clean and comfortable, and staff at Captain Cook resorts are friendly and helpful. Shout out to our property manager, Paul, who was always available as needed and met us at the condo for check in orientation.
This condo will not disappoint, and is a wonderful choice if staying in Waikiki area.
Mahalo for a great stay!"

"Great location /Amazing View
Great place to stay for first visit to Hawaii. Relaxed position to view Fireworks Displays down the beachline. You can walk easily to Ali Moana Shopping Complex (25/30 mins) whilst taking in sites and checking out shops. This big Compkex has a Supermarket on bottom floor off parking area which is huge range of things so you can cook at unit if you prefer but also pre-pakaged meals, filled rolls, salads, fruits, baking etc. Walmart is short walk from Ali Moana (just google and it shows road. Our accommodation was slso only 20/30 minute leisurely walk to the Zoo and Aquarium. Lots if nice eating places just down the
Lewers Road (go right out from Waikiki Shore, or walk through Outriggers side doir then through to front and take right till you turn left into Lewers Street. This takes you to long the Main street so turning left into that will head you towards Zoo etc. There are ABC stores EVERYWHERE you go which have some foods, tourist type things etc. If needing medicines, foods, makeup, soaps, toiletpaper and lots more, take first street to left called Beachwalk street from memory. At end you will see Hard Rock Cafe (nice meals) and turn to right and just along on right is a shop frontage called the Drug store from memory. Inside there is also upstairs and you will find lots of helpful things.
Room 1218 at Waikiki Shore has plenty of cooking appliances, lovely ice and cooled water from the fridge, beds were VERY comfortable and TV allowed access to Netflix (use your own details) internet worked well when you enter password. Security guard down stairs and Castle Waikiki desk attendants were very friendly. They deal with the other people renting rooms that are nit private condos but their friendliness made stay far more relaxing. Waterfront and beach out front of Waikiki Shore was very nice to swim and sunbath. If doing Pacific Harbour Tour and Oahu Grand Island Tours, we were collected out front of the Outriggers Hotel right beside our accommodation.

"Great first stop in Hawaii
The property is in a perfect location for beach, restaurants and shopping. The view is amazing and the unit is well equipped. We appreciated having beach chairs and also a blender. There are a couple of things keeping this from a 5 star experience. The bathrooms could use some updating. We also had to wait at least 45 minutes before being met to check-in (we called from the airport as we were instructed). All, in all it was great stay and we were very comfortable there. "

"Wonderful Waikiki location
Great stay in Waikiki. location is perfect for beach access and walking to downtown area shops and restaurants. Unit was roomy, well appointed, clean and perfect for our family of four. the views of the beach, sunset and city skyline. The management team greeted us as soon as we arrived and were accommodating during our stay. A beautiful place to stay in Waikiki!!!"

"Waikiki Shore condo review
Overall I am very happy with this rental. The location was perfect. The view with balcony was great. I was able to see the Friday fireworks on the balcony. The place was clean and all of the essentials were provided. The unit itself was just lovely.
The only issue I had was with the parking spot. The parking spot provided was probably the worst possible spot in the garage. It is right by the wall that sections off the parking lot. The spot is very narrow and there are cars both next to it and a perpendicular spot behind it. I checked the garage and that spot is the tightest and also shorter than any other spot in the garage. The spot is so narrow that you have to fold your mirrors to stay between the parking lines. If there is a car next to it, your car must be backed into the spot. If that car is positioned slightly beyond their line, it can make it impossible for you to back in. If there are both cars next to it and another in the perpendicular spot behind it, then it is incredibly tough to park since your angle for backing in is severely limited. For my 1 week vacation, I rented a car. For a majority of the time both cars were not there. However, when both cars were around that parking spot, I scratched my car while backing in. I feel that this would likely be the case for any renter if they encounter the unfortunate situation where the 2 other cars are also parked in their spots. Any other spot in the garage would be MUCH easier to park in. As a result, I am now dealing with the car insurance company."

お部屋の様子が写真付きでわかるので予約しました。
想像以上の景色の良さと掃除がゆきとどいていて、快適に過ごせました。
キッチンには全てが揃っていました。炊飯器は象印、お茶碗やお椀、お箸もありました。パーティーが出来るようようにグラスもお皿もたくさんありました。他のサイトで予約した友人は滞在中にトイレットペーパーがなくなって自分で買わないと行けないと言っていましたが、トイレットペーパーもキッチンペーパー、洗濯洗剤なども充分な数が揃っていました。

"Beautiful location and great views!
Wonderful "2 bedroom" condo within walking distance of everything. My only feedback is that I wouldn't quite call it a 2 bedroom. More like a living room converted to a bedroom with a giant pull wall for "privacy." Not quite the romantic getaway if traveling with kids, if you know what I mean. That said, the condo is very clean and the views fantastic with a great long balcony. "

"Living the Dream
Had a wonderful time in Waikiki and loved the vibe in Hawaii. The apartment was spacious & had sensational views & well equipped. It just requires a safe & an upgraded fold out bed which is very uncomfortable. Otherwise a fantastic rental in a brilliant location. Loved our stay."

"Shore Apartment 1218 Made Our Stay Perfect
We loved staying right on the beach with outstanding beach and city to Mountain View’s. The apartment was very clean, spacious and well appointed. There was everything we needed and more. Paul from Captain Cook was exceptional with his service and very generous with his time at 7am when I arrived. We would find it very difficult to stay anywhere else now after a fabulous 8 days. "

"First Hawaii Trip of Family from Alaska & Washington!
I found this VRBO and so lucky I found after looking for a place to stay for a long period of time. We stayed here twice for the 14 days we are in Oahu. It was a great experience, the most beautiful view and the unit was very spacious for 5 adults. The cleanliness of the unit was the best. It is also close to everything! and when you go downstairs the beach is literally there. I will definitely recommend and stay here again when we come back! Definitely worth the money! Paul was so great and very informative. parking was tight but its okay! will definitely come back!"

"Nice condo in Waikiki, close to everything.
Overall our stay at Waikiki Shore #1218 was nice and comfortable. The view was great and only steps from the beach, restaurants and shopping. The beds were very uncomfortable. The twin beds being pushed together to make a king should have had a pad of some sort to connect the 2 mattresses. It made it very difficult to sleep on with the gap between them. Supplies were very limited. Luckily we did not cook while there, no spices,one pouch of coffee, 1/2 roll of paper towels. We didn't unpack anything that couldn't be hung up as the master bedroom dresser drawers had sand in them. Living room furniture was comfy, carpet and floors were very clean. I did find someone's lone slipper under the bed. That was odd. The condo lanai was incredibly noisy being that it's the end unit and got all the street noise, sirens, buses and diesel exhaust coming up. The master bedroom area has a thin wall. We could hear people clunking around and their baby crying through the wall in the unit next door. Security is great, very safe building! Property manager Paul was very nice. He even managed to switch around our parking spot so our vehicle would fit as the one assigned to this unit is actually only half as deep as the other spots. The condo is pretty centrally located, Overall the condo was comfortable and provided more room to relax than a hotel room."

Our vacation rental experience was truly amazing!
The unit was super clean, beautifully decorated, had all the amenities, very accommodating and so close to downtown. The views were amazing with the beach nearby. Sitting out on the balcony at the end of a long day of site seeing was truly welcoming and felt like home. Would definitely rent this unit again. Regards Sue

"Over the moon
There are no words to describe this condo, location, or the ease of dealing with Captain Cook. Our property manager Paul went over and above helping us with deliveries to our apartment. The photos are absolutely 100% accurate but don't fully capture the overwhelming view experienced. Having a washer/dryer in your room is also an added bonus. The room comes with beach chairs as well - thank you. It was just perfect with heaps of room."

"Love condo 1218
Aloha.
My family and I had a great stay with you in room 1218 last week. There were 6 of us and we never felt like we were tripping over each other. The condo was nicely furnished and had just about anything we needed. Paul reacted to my call about the broken sofa bed and a new insert arrived the day I called.I was so surprised because it was the weekend. Great service
.
The only MINOR complaints were that we were only given 1 dish towel and it would have been nice to have 2 as we had to wash dishes after each meal so we would have them for the next meal. We were against running the dishwasher with it only 1/3rd or less full. Also in the kitchen there are only 4 teaspoons left in the cutlery set which isn't enough for 6 people. The sofa bed linen provided only 2 pillow cases and 2 more would have been to have. Also,there were no pot holders to lift things out of the oven which for safety sake you may want to provide. As I said these are minor and we didn't even want to bother Paul as we made do without the items. .
You may however have a problem brewing with the washing machine. When the drain cycle begins it backs up into the sink and then disappears when the machine goes into the spin cycle. We only recognised this because one of us happened to go into wash our hands just as the water appeared in the sink. With all the sand on towels etc. us visitors unknowingly drag in, the drain may be getting full of sand. Had the same thing happen in Kona a few years ago except that time the water came up the shower drain.
This was my 3rd time back in Waikiki Shores condo and I've been very happy with every unit we have had and the friendly service Paul and Cap't Cook provides. The unit was so bright and open, the views are as the add says" million dollar view" of both beach and city and having 2 tables and 6 chairs on the lani allowed us all to be out there at one time. Thank you for your part in making our trip full of happy memo"

お部屋は12階の一番山側でしたが、山側にも窓があることで、夜の夜景が素晴らしかったです。

"Perfect
Our four night stay in this beautiful condo was better than we had even expected. Enough room for the six of us (two adults, 3 teens and a 9 year old) and so close to anywhere we wanted to go, including the beach right outside the building. The views are incredible! Loved that there's beach towels, beach chairs, a boogie board and umbrella in the unit. We would definitely stay in this unit again. "

"Luxury in Pardise
What you see is what you get in this beautiful and luxurious apartment. It is extremely bright and clean and being on the corner you get both city and (uninterrupted) beach views. Our host Paul Tucker was such a lovely man and truly made our holiday. He was warm, happy, helpful and obliging. We had come from another Captain Cook property and he very kindly allowed us to spend the entire day in another room whilst we waited for our room to be vacated which was above and beyond our expectations. When we arrived into our new apartment there were no champagne glasses so I called Paul to ask if there may be some in another apartment and the next day when we were out he very kindly delivered these to our apartment. The location and apartment were perfect and I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for a lovely holiday."

"Waikiki shores 1218
Very good. Couple things of note. Pillows are flat and firmer pillows should be in the closet. Coffee pot is designed for #4 filters and the unit had drip filters. Should have salt and pepper in the unit. The parking spot is terrible. Would be nice if the unit had a few beach chairs. "

"Good except for one thing
Parking spot for 1218 is the main thing that makes me hesitate to recommend this unit. The parking space reserved for this unit is half a space deep. The yellow concrete barrier is positioned not in front of the space but rather in the middle, first time I've ever seen something like that. Makes parking in NYC a comparable breeze. In addition the space is against a wall so maneuvering into it is in the space is made more challenging. As for the location of the condo itself it is close to the beach. The parking garage is located at the intersection with traffic light so getting out of that lot is a little tricky requires cutting across two lanes if you want to go in Saratoga rd. Otherwise the condition of the condo is excellent. Clean and well decorated. Paul the property manager is polite, reachable and professional. But only 3 stars because It would have been key to know ahead of time that a rental for 6 people cannot accommodate a car that holds 6. I'm sure other units in this condo would be better because their assigned parking is different. "

"Apartment 1218 Waikiki Shore- September 2016 Holiday
Superb Views, comfortable beds, large kitchen, good laundry facilities. The location close to Lewers Street is excellent for restaurants & shopping. Bus stops are close by & all you need do is to step off the ground floor rear pavement and you are on the beach & into the water for a swim or paddle. The arcade on the ground floor of the building has a shop selling Hawaiian clothing etc - cheaper that other shops close by selling the same products. Can't wait to return - the facilities in many ways are better than the best hotels along the beach where I have stayed in the past but now I've found the ideal place for future holidays."

We used Caprain Cook first time.I am sorry did not why known until now.We stayed in the family(3 daughter).The room was white and blue tones was clean and nice.
The view from lanai was excellent!!
in front of beach,landscape,especially Friday night fireworks at the Hilton hotel.
Ice cube dispensers of the fridge was not initially used and ice flied out.But our children were amused even it.

"perfect location and view but less-than-expected conditions
1)The location is perfect and the view is magnificent.
2)The facilities are good but less than perfect:
2-1)The shower head of the sub-bed room is positioned to high for an average Japanese woman to reach and adjust.
2-2)The shower room of the sub-bed room has no door to our inconvenience. Why?
2-3) The fire alarm was super-sensitive and every morning when we just fried eggs, it went off to our nuisance.
2-4)We wished we had had a "washlet" in the bathroom. In Japan it is everywhere and I must admit we are spoiled.
3) The maintenance of the facilities was not so good as we had expected.
3-1)The shower head of the sub-bed room was not properly fixed and loosened.
3-2)Ice cube dispensers of the fridge was initially not in a good working condition and a bit of water leaked on the kitchen floor.
3-3)The telephone did not work for 48 hours.
3-4)The Wi-Fi was not usable for 48 hours.
3-5)The drain pipe under the kitchen sink leaked a bit and soaked the spare kitchen towel roll stored under the sink.
To be fair I must add that the property manager was very responsive and quick to act to remedy the problems. Probably Captain Cook believes that fixing problems is more economical than preventive maintenance.
I would recommend this property to friends with a bit of warning on the property facilities and conditions.

"Fantastic Condo Great Location
Stayed at Waikiki Shore #1218. This condo was exactly as described. View when you walk in is absolutely stunning with best views over Waikiki Beach and City being a corner unit. Everything clean with great amenities and décor beautiful and modern. Great bonus to have a good car park and wifi included which we made good use of. Perfect location right on beach, easy walk to beach,shops and restaurants. Rented through Captain Cook and were very pleased with contact and communication. Our Manager Paul was also great. Also pleased with good stock of bath towels and beach towels and necessities paper towels, toilet paper, wash detergents etc so no rush to shop on arrival. Only issue would be the second lift not working. Would definitely rent this condo again and will be recommending to friends. Thanks to Captain Cook Resorts
