"Home away from home
That's right; this cozy unit will make you feel like your home. This unit has pretty much everything you need. -Secure Parking -W/D in unit -Full Kitchen (Microwave, coffee maker, full-size refrigerator, four burner stove) All utensils you need to make a quick meal, plates, bowls, pans, etc. -Ironing board, iron -Hair dryer -Towels -Roof Top Pool with a lovely view Did I miss anything? I probably did, but I can't list it all. Walking distance to; -International Market Place (5-8 mins) -Waikiki Beach (10 mins) -Honolulu Zoo (15-20 min) -Plenty of restaurants nearby to choose from to eat. Perfect place for a couple to stay, the residents, staff in the lobby area and management team definitely had Aloha spirit and made you feel like 'Ohana. Mahalo"

The unit was clean and nicely appointed. It need a facelift. Bath tiles broker, cabinets had plastic covering peeling. Except for shower overall bath needs an upgrade,"

"Nice Studio suite with cool breezes
A great studio suite to rent overlooking the Ala Wai canal and Diamond Head. Latge lanai, comfortable furniture, fully equipped kitchen, with easy check-in. Great for two people who need a short or longer stay in Waikiki."

"Great place
Great stay. I'm second time here, and this rental not easy to caught. First is rooftop with swimming pool and sauna, all I need. Barbecue area, awesome view all around from rooftop, sunset and sunrise. Pretty quiet compared to other rentals, I've been. And free parking, with private spot. For me, best of the best"

"Spectacular!!
We so enjoyed our stay, our host James was super nice, we were delayed getting in and he gave very good instructions to guide us through check in and the apartment came with everything we needed for our ten day trip! I broke a water pitcher on accident and he was very kind about that, very courteous host!!
The apartment kitchen was great to have as we cooked most breakfast and lunch meals there, very helpful to save- the only thing I wish we had was a few more shelf-stable seasonings, so if you’re planning to cook, bring your own salt/pepper and other seasonings!
The bathroom was very clean and the shower fit just fine with the toilet and sink(other reviews said too small, it is not)
Patio view over the canal was gorgeous and we loved being able to watch the sunrise over the mountains without even getting out of bed! Parking garage was convenient and easy, LOVE the no parking fee, we would spent a fortune otherwise!! Rooftop area also looked newly renovated and was very nice as well! Overall a 10/10!! "

"Fairway Villa 1516 - Very Nice Waikiki Unit
Professional Captain Cook Staff and Management. Lobby security very courteous and helpful. Extremely nice rental unit. Convenient location w/parking a big plus. Unit is away from main Kuhio noise. AC window unit is very loud although can drown out street noise. Furniture locations in room are different than Pictures although depicts actual furniture. Beautiful lanai views and comfort. If your desire is to cook meals, cookware is lacking, although more than ample dishes/cups/silverware. VERY clean, organized and maintained unit. Plan to keep this unit as one of my "go to" in rotation of possible bookings when available."

"Nice Condo!
We enjoyed the condo. It was clean, secure, bed was comfy for us. Good value for the money and parking was easy and included which was important to us. They had beach chairs and an umbrella which was used by us daily as well. Would happily stay again. "

"Exhausting Nightmare
Upon check in, I was told the room was ready and unlocked. It wasn’t and the key code was never mentioned in the directions. The parking lot is super confusing and steep, that any vehicle will easily roll up or down, without any gas; which isn’t too big of a deal, until you add the crosswalks at the bottom, and people stepping in front or back of you. All of the dishes were wet, had stains, or were still sticky from prior use. The water was out for a full day, both hot & cold, so 10 floors were directed to use the restroom on the rec deck; which had 2 toilets and 1 shower. The building no longer has a permit for the hot tub, but did have a working sauna. Supposedly the pool was open, but it had construction cones up for broken stairs, and was constantly surrounded by construction. The building is old and tall, and the elevators seem just as old and slow. Extremely hard to find any time to relax with all of the noise, especially sirens very often and late at night. "

"A great place to stay in Oahu
The studio is in walking distance from the Waikiki Beach and has great views to the Diamond Head (in distance) and to the river. The kitchen could have a little refreshment (new items) and a cooler for the beach would be nice. If we would go to Oahu again, we would book this studio again."

"In need of tender care
This property just needs a few details to make it perfect. First, the running toilet that the property manager was aware of should be fixed, a waste of water for sure a major deal breaker. The blinds were very hard to pull opened and closed, we just left closed all the time. The AC noisy and I am sure is on its last leg, we cleaned filter. When you are advised that only plastic cups are required on pool deck there should be some in condo, not one. Only 1 large glass and 1 small glass cup for cocktails should have 2 at least of each individual lots of wine glasses. We felt this was more about the money maker than the home comfort experience. A $50 send on supply's like plastic cups, salt and pepper, a small cooler and updated beach chairs would make this condo perfect. First time booking with a agency, think we will stay with VRBO direct owners. Positives, perfect location, great parking and laundry if required. We were as well allowed a late check out only because the room was not rented the next night."

"Fairway Villas 1516
Pic taken from mini kitchen (no dishwasher btw), looked pretty which is why I chose this unit. Door actually opens to the bed, which I hadn't imagined. View from lanai is of many bldgs unless u turn in either direction, can see snippet of ocean or that canal/golf course, nice to sit out there. Louvered glass over old fashioned a/c unit make it easy to find a comfortable temperature. Several blocks from beach (all of Waikiki is walking distance no matter where u stay); they provide 2 chairs, beach towels and a "boogie board" if u can carry them. So great to have parking! Call outs: Can see light around doorway and it's right across from elevators, therefore could hear everything, like the shouting neighbor and police in hall. Front desk said "domestic abuse situation lives on your floor, happens all the time." Paint dirty in corners and scuffed areas, door jamb cut up to bathrm (which had some broken tiles). They said it was cut to replace washer/dryer, great to have btw. Left used paint can on shelf but it wasn't repaired/painted), curtains didn't close all the way. Other than dingy popcorn ceiling, floorplan and neighbor, all could easily be remedied but their excuse was "back to back rentals no time to do it." Well then that should be disclosed b4 booking and price adjusted (advertised price was for month or longer; they charge more for shorter stays.) Agent needs to answer his phone as no other way to contact them outside of business hrs, such as when power went out. Would be more satisfied if they had offered discount for disturbances or charged less to begin with. First thing agent said when we got inside was, "You know this is an air bnb?" (I think to explain no maid service, but we already knew that.) We booked thru Cptn Cook, not air bnb! High cleaning fee even though no carpet (and they missed everything described), the same amt no matter how few nights u stay."

"Great studio with kitchen!
My family and I enjoyed our stay in this studio rental. It had all the amenities that was described. Our Agent James was helpful whenever we had a question and very quick to respond. The unit is clean and not that far from the beach. I would stay here again. "

Our rental is a perfect location for us! We love the masubis from Mitsuwa which is across the street! Very close to Murakame Udon which is a PLUS for us! Room was perfect for my family of 3. The security staff are very friendly! Building is kept clean. We plan on returning."

"Comfortable, convenient, clean.
My husband, teen daughter and I enjoyed our stay at fairway Villa. It was conveniently located within walking distance to the beach,shopping, several restaurants as well as the Food Pantry grocery store. It was extremely helpful and cut down on costs to have free parking, a washer and dryer and a kitchen to cook meals in. We had an issue with missing washcloths and beach towel upon arrival, but James helped us after two phone calls. There’s also a free visitor parking lot if you have family/friends who want to come visit for a few hours. The property has a view of the canal and SLIGHT view of the ocean from the lanai. We’d been told Waikiki can be a questionable area, and did see some homeless people and a lady screaming at the air— but there’s a very strong police presence and mainly tourists everywhere. We walked around at night, shops were still open at 8-9pm and we felt completely safe.
Queen sized Bed is very comfortable. Free cable and WiFi included.
We’d definitely stay here again!"

"A nice apartment near the AlaWai
Economical, well located apartment. Had all of the necessities. Jessica was friendly and helpful. 10 minute walk to beach and everything in Waikiki. We enjoyed the privacy, quiet, and freedom this location offered. it was more like living in Hawaii than staying at a hotel. Don't expect any resort amenities or room service, but the rooftop lanai is a great fully stocked BBQ/sunset watching location, with pool and hot tub. There are awesome saunas in the rooftop rest rooms. Our stay was trouble free and comfortable."

I had a very pleasant stay at this property. It is bright and cheery and was stocked with everything that I needed. I appreciated the washer/dryer in the condo.

"Never Dissapointed Always Satisfied
I am recently relocated and while looking for a condo to get into I have to move around to availability and also look at different areas and places i feel will best fit me. Captain cook resorts have the best locations available and have been very helpful making the process easy as possible with booking and maintaining my reservations as best as possible. This location is another top fav on my list. All around to my likings ajnd I'm very picky and particular on what I like.. "

"Perfectly Appointed!
This is a beautiful, restful condo filled with everything a traveler could need: a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture, laundry detergent, even beach towels! I loved sitting out on the lanai and having breakfast while watching the sun come up over the canal. Best of all, however, was Jessica - my Captain Cook representative. I was traveling with my parents and we ended up arriving at the condo past midnight - exhausted and disoriented. My parents were staying in the same building in a condo managed by another company - and received no welcome or orientation instructions. In contrast, there was Jessica, smiling like an angel way past midnight to show me my condo, provide a smiling orientation and basically soothe all troubles away. I can't say enough good things about Jessica! Many thanks!"

"Small but great location
The property was exactly as described. Previous reviews reported noise, and they were right. Somehow, I managed to have a good night's sleep nearly every night. All the staff I contacted were very friendly and helpful, especially Wendy in the office and Jessica, the property manager. The location was great, close to nearly anything I wished to visit in Waikiki. I took the great bus service to attractions not in walking distance. The only detraction is that all the built-ins and larger appliances were slightly off from perfect; this is not luxury accommodation. It took some getting used to stiff latches and the older stove and refrigerator. But whenever I mentioned to Jessica, she was right on it trying to get it fixed."

I'm sure the scheduled work on the outside of the building was already in progress, if not already tooled up and beginning physical work. I was not informed until just a few weeks before I came to Hawaii that the work was happening. You assholes could easily have told me at the time I rented the unit. Why???"

"Unit 1516 review
The room was satisfactory as advertised; however, the downsides involve the following: 1. loud noises ( drums, base guitar, etc.) coming from adjacent unit. Repeated complaints to the management only helped temporarily. 2. Too many unneeded items in the kitchen cupboards but not enough space for groceries, etc. 3. Pesky roaches, even though the kitchen area was kept clean. 4. Noisy AC. "

"OK Condo in Honolulu
here for vacation. stayed at Fairway Villa the last time, and Waikiki Skytower before that, both operated by CCR. we like CCR and would recommend going through them. dependable. reliable. professional.
FV itself is OK. simple. basic. parking was good to have tho that condo parking is tricky. the stackable W/D is handy but doesn't wash alot (it's small). our views were of other buildings, altho we got a view of the Canal.
FV is an OK place to stay but nothing special to write home about."
Mar 10, 2014 - Kim N., Honolulu, HI
"Great but noisy
The view and top floor lounge area were amazing. The condo was everything we expected. The street noise was not enjoyable, but it is a city. Being on the 15 the floor every noise seems to echo in between the buildings. There are some very noisy dogs in the building across the street, and seems to be someone yelling on the street at 5am every morning. Also the ambulance and fire building are at the end of the road so they are always going by. The building, studio, location and inclusions were perfect for the price. Free parking, wifi, etc... We had one problem with the garbage disposal and a staff member came out to fix it within the hour on a Sunday. "
Feb 18, 2014 - Donald M., Delta, BC
"Expected more
The unit was not cleaned properly. Dishes had food stuck on. Dead bugs in the cabinets. Carpet was very dirty. Rice cooker had a hole in the bottom. Sink was clogged and two days latter the faucet had to be replaced. Frying pan coating was peeling off into our food. The unit has a nice view but the Ala Wai is the road that is most used by the police to get in and around Waikiki. VERY noisy (Sirens) both day and night! "

"50th wedding anniversary, first trip to Hawaii
Byron, our VRBO contact met us at the door. He had a bit of a wait because the taxi driver "knew exactly where we were staying" and let us off at the Sands Villa a few blocks away. Not a good start after nine hours of overnight travel. Things improved quickly.
Our studio unit was neat, clean and comfortable. There were generous "start up" supplies and plenty of detergent for the unit's washer/dryer. The view from the lanai was beautiful, canal, back side of Diamond Head, mountains and a good peek at the ocean. The view from the roof 29th floor was fantastic, at night, spectacular.
The handy location allowed us to use public and tour transportation with a bus stop within a block. There was also a handy supermarket, a Starbucks and can you count the ABC stores?
We chose Aloha Tours "Hop on Hop off" option and rode to several "touristy" destinations.
The day before our actual 50th anniversary we climbed to the top of Diamond Head. What a view.
If you use the "Hop on Hop off" ask the guides about the Diamond Head Market and the cream cheese bluebarry scones. If you choose, you can walk to the market from Villa and the return trip could just possibly justify a second scone, or the mushroom burger.
All in all, thumbs up, would we do it again? We are already making the plans. "

"Small space near Waikiki
The view was great from the 15th floor and the walk to the beach took ten minutes. We discovered some fine dining and shopping on the way to the beach, which was a pleasant surprise. The property was very secure, with designated parking. Be aware that this is a super tiny space, but the newer bathroom and tidy kitchen are perfect for a week's stay. And the murphy bed is a great use of space. "

"Great little place, perfect for 1 or 2 people
The best thing about this rental condo is the location. It's literally in the middle of Waikiki and pretty much everywhere in Waikiki is walkable.
The unit itself is very clean, and one can see it was renovated as all the furnitures, kitchen counters, bathrooms, etc. all look new, even though the building itself look a bit aged. When you're inside you feel like you're living in a brand new condo unit. It's a very small unit but very comfortable. It's perfect for 1 person, and great for 2 as well. The kitchen has pretty much everything I need to cook (which I only did a few times, really, too much great food outside to miss).
The manager that checked me in was very kind and helpful.
Possible one con (for some) is that no surf boards or bicycles are allowed in the elevator, which can make bringing those things to the 15th floor difficult. I didn't have either so I didn't have to worry.
The parking garage's paths are relatively narrow (if you're used to mainland US sizes), but manageable and not ridiculous (like some other hotels' garages I've seen in Waikiki)."
Jul 15, 2012 - Bigi L., Hayward, CA
"A Good Time!
We very much enjoyed our 3 weeks at Fairway Villa. It felt like home, and with the exception of an uncomfortable sofa, was a great pleasure to inhabit. The condo had many conveniences and the kitchen was nicely equipped. The clothes dryer was slow and inefficient but otherwise we loved the place. It is a safe, enjoyable location but be aware that this whole area is noisy, and emergency vehicles and their sirens passed by all hours of the day and night. However, a small price to pay for a good time if you want to embrace the hustle and bustle of Honolulu/Waikiki. "
