"Our first and last stay with Captain Cook
Things started out pretty good but once we found an excessive amount of mold in the sofa bed everything changed. They did acknowledge they had seen this before and we requested another condo. I think they could have offered to help move us, that would have been appreciated. Our daughter was sleeping on that sofa bed and it affected her enough where she flew home, cutting her vacation short and having to purchase a new ticket. In my attempts to get satisfaction from Captain Cooks they never addressed the issue other than telling us it’s in the hands of their rental department. "

"Well-located and functional condo
Spent one month with my family in this unit and overall, was very pleased with our stay. The location is excellent, short walking distance to all the shopping and restaurants in Waikiki, while located on a low traffic street. Morning sunrise views of Ala Wai canal were gorgeous. The furniture and fixtures in the apartment are a bit dated, but everything was clean and functional. The kitchen was well-stocked with cookware and utensils. Very convenient to have dishwasher and washer/dryer in the unit, as well as a reserved parking space. Needs more more lighting, especially in the living room and at the dining table. Street noise is quite loud due to the location and louvered windows, but it’s to be expected given the location. A/C is noisy. Had a few issues with the ongoing construction in the building, but was very satisfied with the quick response from property management to make things right. Very nice rooftop with 360 views and swimming pool, and plenty of seating and BBQ facilities. Overall, we had a really nice visit and would stay here again!"

"Noisy - Needs Repairs/Updating
Ok size but in need of upgraded windows (slate glass does not mitigate street noise and howling wind sounds like a howling ghost) - need replacing with updated windows. Family room glass sliding door is one opening away from falling out of its tracks and crashing to pieces - needs to be replaced. Dryer vented onto counter, now venting behind dryer onto the floor - needs a lint capture receptacle. One washlet was broken and the other one did not work adequately. Wall A/C very loud - need quieter Split Air units. Nice digital lock for main door. TV in bedroom worked sometimes. Parking space was adequate but drive up to space (six levels) was daunting as people double parked in the floor transition space making turning very difficult - a lot of evidence of cars hitting the wall trying to make turn. Location along canal was extremely noisy due to non stop EMS vehicles and traffic. Nice view of Manoa Valley, Canal, and partial view of Diamond Head. Won't stay here again due to noise level. "

This is our second time staying in this condo and we really enjoyed our stay. Good location, great view from the balcony and contact from Captain Cook was always very responsive and helpful. "

"A Review of #1217 at Fairway Villas
Our stay was very enjoyable; location excellent and a very secure building. The suite was well equipped. The apartment is in need of paint and new bathtubs. The drawer in the stove needs repair; the deck furniture needs replacing. The dining chair cushions need cleaning or replacing. Drapes need cleaning. All in all the accommodation was good."

"Convenient and comfortable
The unit had everything as advertised. When requested new beach chairs were provided by the manager. Check in was easy. Covered parking is convenient. However, it’s stressful parking the way garage is built. Easy to communicate with Jim Wickard the property manager. All in all a pleasant stay. Will recommend."

"A very enjoyable holiday.
Had a really enjoyable stay. Lots of extras included for the beach etc. Well placed near some great places to eat and convenient for the trolley and buses. Great shopping nearby and at Ala Moana via the trolley. Awesome bargains at Waikele outlet shops to.
It was great to be able do our laundry in the apartment. Everything you need to cook a great meal provided."

"Waikiki - Wonderful
We stayed for 7 nights from Sep 24, 2018.
We were met by the manager at the car park entrance after phoning in from the airport as had been arranged.
After negotiating 6 levels of the car park to our spot we then met at the lifts and escorted to the apartment for a detailed inspection and instructions which was 1st class.
The place is a 2 bedroom / bathroom with a more than adequate kitchen and living area.
My only concern was that we found the double bed on the small size. It was by far the smallest we had during our 3 week stay on the islands. The 2nd bedroom had 2 single beds.
The wi-fi was strong and excellent so we were able to keep in touch with family, friends and business colleagues.
1217 is right at the end of the building. This gives you 2 views. One from the bedroom overlooks the golf course and canal and up into the hills above. The number of properties in the hills have certainly grown since our last visit. The other view from the 2nd bedroom and living room looks diagonally to the canal and golf course and you can see the back end of Diamond Head. You get some lovely sun rises when sitting on the ample balcony that was stocked with comfy chairs and tables.
Level 12 is about 1 level higher than the apartments opposite. Where we come it is interesting to view apartment life and was no big deal. There are manual wind up shutters if you wish to lower them for privacy or to block that early morning sun. We enjoyed those sun rises.
I enjoyed the washlets and want to get one installed at home!
The apartment is only 2-3 blocks away from the beach. The main shops,eateries and restaurants are also within easy walking distance. There is a supermarket about 100 metres down the street that we used to stock up with our supplies. This is a very self-contained apartment.
We enjoyed our stay immensely and we would aim to get #1217 if we came back."

"Great Rental Experience!! Excellent location!
Our experience was excellent. They had already addressed and solved the water issue on the balcony mentioned in previous reviews. Condition of the condo and furniture were great. Everything worked as expected, with no issues whatsoever. Location was excellent with a grocery store, food trucks, mall and restaurants nearby.
Originally, I was unsure of the distance from the beach, if that would be an issues, however, we found that the beach was really only a short walk. If you have little ones without a stroller it could be a challenge as you will need to cross two major busy streets; not my situation with teenagers, who went to the beach on their own with no issues.
We utilized the AC unit at night cause my wife likes it cold for sleeping. During the mornings and daytime there was always cool breezes, so we opened the windows to enjoy them.
Having a parking space was key since we wanted to explore the island and gave us the flexibility to come and go on our own schedule. But for exploring Waikiki we walked, which was wonderful, with all the shops and restaurants and shopping malls all very close by."

"Our stay on Oahu
We stayed from Sunday to Saturday, and this place was perfect for our needs as we were traveling with 2 teenagers who each needed a bed. The property was very clean and the views were beautiful. We were a little caught off guard by the lack of central A/C being from the hot and humid south, but we ran the heck out of the individual units in each bedroom and living area and they kept the place perfectly comfortable. Yes, some water puddled slightly on the balcony, but we adjust one drip pan which helped. It wasn't something we found to be a concern. James, the property manager, met us as we arrived and gave us a rundown of everything and how it all worked. My kids were fascinated by the digital lock on the door. The location is within walking distance to Waikiki beach and plenty of shopping (everything from cheap souvenirs to Saks Fifth Avenue at the mall) and dining (from fast food to upscale). We took full advantage of the Food Pantry on the corner both for groceries and for quick takeout. There is a Walmart withing a short driving distance too. Everything we needed was there in the condo from cleaning (though I didn't find the dustpan until it was too late) to cooking. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!"

"Vacation hot spot
Central located, nice place to stay. "
May 16, 2018 - Joyce D., Brookport, IL
"Good location, but needs lots of updates.
The condo was close to a grocery, restaurants, shops and the beach, which is helpful because of Waikiki traffic. Having a parking spot was great. One caution though... the parking garage is a bit of a challenge, and a larger SUV might have an issue navigating the turns. We appreciated starter supplies (dishwashing soap, toiletries), and James, the property manager, was, very helpful and accomodating. Check in and check out were both very easy, and we felt safe in the building and area. There were updated kitchen counters, and expensive electronic toilets, however most of the condo needs serious updating and a deep cleaning. The A/C was not efficient (we had to keep door to the twin bedroom closed becasue the unit was too small and not efficient). Other updates needed include flooring, bathtub/shower, painting, windows, drapes, and furniture, and appliances. I realize the area is expensive, but I expected a nicer environment for the money that we paid."

"Home in Oahu
Great rental and met our needs really well. The only issue we experienced was that one of the air conditioners leaked water all over the balcony and we had to step around the puddle to get access. Eventually it got so big, we could not step around it. James was awesome and very helpful."
Apr 02, 2018 - , Mona, UT
"Nice unit scary parking garage
Found the unit comfortable. We were supposed to be joined by friends but a ride on a motor scooter the week before and a resulting broken collar bone caused them to cancel. Captain Cooke was helpful with reworking our plans at the last minute.
The unit itself was comfortable and had all we needed for the visit. The lanai provided an excellent spot for some beautiful sunrises.
The parking garage was bizarre. Cars parked legally on the ramps meant a very careful drive to our space.
The unit is located right on the Ala Wai which was pretty to look at but the noise from sirens coming from the fire station got to be a bit much.
We had some heavy rain, thunder and lighting a few days but it is was warm here and freezing at home so we will take Hawaii."
Feb 23, 2018 - , SILVER SPRING, Maryland
"Wonderful view
Negatives: Our apartment was very quiet except for constant street noise - perhaps better windows to dampen noise? One of the bathrooms did not have consistent water flow in the shower - first hot, then cold, then a trickle, no matter how I turned the handle. The dishwasher worked well and was quiet, however, sometimes when I pushed the "start" button it wouldn't start. Perhaps the button is worn out? The air conditioners on the balcony produced so much water we could not enjoy the balcony (too much pooled water). Perhaps better drains on the balcony are needed? The twin beds in the second bedroom were very short. I am five feet four inches, and my feet often were off the end of the bed. Even if a longer bed covered part of the closet, I feel that longer beds are needed in the second bedroom.
Positives: James (the apartment manager) was waiting for us, and patiently explained how everything worked - the apartment door, the appliances, telephone, TV, and the "washlet" toilets (which we had never used before). We felt safe with 24 hr security on the job. The apartment was 1/2 block from "Food Pantry" for all our grocery needs. The parking space was awesome - easy to get into and out of! The view from the balcony produced stunning sunrises and sunsets. The roll down shades on the balcony were a welcome feature for control of the sun through the day.
Overall I would definitely book this apartment again if I ever visit Oahu in the future.

"More than Expected
The condo was everything the description and photos said it would be. The location was excellent. 24 hour security was a good feeling. The staff and security were great and friendly. The condo and building was clean and well maintained. The check in and check out was smooth. Koodos to Captain Cook and they even called to check in mid rental to see if there were any questions. Plan on booking this building for next year. I would recommend Captain Cook and this building for anyone wanting to stay in Waikiki. "

"Great location
#1217 was perfectly adequate for our needs. We were two couples so two bedrooms and two bathrooms was perfect.
The view from the deck was great, nice to see the canal and beyond. There is a sea peep too.
The unit was clean, beds comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. We only ate breakfast at home each day.
The décor is pretty ordinary but certainly wouldn't put us off returning as location was great. A Food Pantry on the corner plus a tram stop nearby. Easy walk to main shopping streets and beach.
The property manager was very accommodating, friendly and most helpful.
We all enjoyed our time at Fairway Villas.

"We recommend this property to Japanese, too
We enjoyed our stay. This unit is clean. Two bathrooms are clean too. Kitchen has washing machine and enough equipment.
A security guard always stays at the building entrance (besides very friendly). During stay If you find anything that needs attention, you can tell a property manager right away, in Japanese. That's reassuring. We'll come back here again!"

"Excellent location in Waikiki
Our family of four very much enjoyed our stay at Fairway Villa, unit 1217.
This apartment was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. There was a generous supply of towels, incl beach towels, which was appreciated. The digital keyless entry to the unit was also a really handy feature.
The inclusion of a car park was great, and the location was excellent- so handy to the beach, shopping and eating options. (Do make sure you try Marukame Udon on Kuhio Ave, inexpensive and great meals - well worth lining up for!!)
James from Captain Cook Real Estate was very helpful and friendly, and many thanks again James for the early check-in.
This apartment is great value for money, and highly recommended. Thanks again for a great stay in Waikiki!

"NICE BUT LOUD
This villa was nice, neat and tidy. It was a few streets back from the beach but still close to everything so not a problem. There is a supermarket at the end of the street which is very convenient. Our only problem was the noise. The trade winds blow right through this villa and the entire day and night the villa literally whistles, the main bedroom is the worst and that coupled with the main road down below was a nightmare. We only stayed for 4 days and during that time we got little next to no sleep. The sirens, car horns and constant traffic was constant and sitting out on the balcony was just unpleasant as the sound of cars constantly was just too much. If you can sleep through anything and the noise doesn't bother you then I would recommend this villa as everything else was great."

"Home away from home!
We loved our apartment at Fairway Villa! It was clean and comfortable with a stella view of Diamond Head and the canal. Being a few blocks back from Waikiki worked perfectly for us to get us out of the hustle and bustle! We could walk to the beach and shops in 5 minutes and had a grocery shop about 100m away. The rooftop pool and spa is small but it wasn't ever crowded, the view from the roof is amazing especially at night. We were disappointed with not being able to use water on the stones in the sauna - so it was really just a warm room. Other than that it was perfect accommodation for a family holiday! "

The condo was in a perfect location - with 24 hour security. You can see the golf course and into Waikiki from the balcony.

The main bathroom could do with some updating but overall we had an excellent stay."

"Great location and condition
Jessica, the manager, was responsive and helpful. One of our fobs didn't work the day before we leave, but the security guard helped us to get in. We didn't need a new fob back then so Jess may have taken care of it for the next stay I guess. The property already has what you need for the first couple of days stay. They had detergents, soap, and most of the utensils in the kitchen. There were A/Cs but no need to use since the weather was cool and nice. We would love to stay here again!!! "

"Lovely stay.
This is a comfortable unit with nice views. We flew in on Saturday. I saved the PDF to my phone as I didn't want to download an app. The PDF is 50 pages long with way too much info. The ck in info had a link not active in the PDF. So that part was a bit complicated/frustrating. The unit is great. It's very bare bones. Most airbnb type places have shampoo and so on. The beds are comfy, the views are great and the location is good. Overall I would recommend. I stayed here for a work trip."

"great location,clean comfortable
My family of 4 adults enjoyed our stay. The agent met us and explained everything clearly. The unit was compact but very adequate ,clean tidy and comfortable. The location was great, easy walk to shops beach and food store.The only minor negative was the need for all 3 air conditioners to be on at 73 F to keep the apartment cool and quiet, as there was so many air leaks from the louvre windows and too much traffic noise to rely on the breeze from open windows and doors.
would stay there again though."

The location was great for all the things we wanted to do and the paring space was nice, not having to worry about finding one every time we left the building.

"Happy Waikiki stay
I was able to spend the time when we were fun and wonderful.This room had fine view of the canal and mountain
Because an elevator did not come even if I waited in an elevator hall for ten minutes on a return home day, I got off to a parking of the sixth floor with a heavy suitcase on stairs.(broken? Several people used the stairs)
I was able to check in immediately after I arrived at the airport, it was very comfortable.
Thank you for James.

"Two bedroom apartment with views and close to Waikiki Beach
We had a short stay in Honolulu and wanted to be in the midst of the action close to Waikiki Beach. We were not disappointed. Unfortunately, we were very late arriving from the airport and missed Jessica Kaleikau at security, but she had unlocked the apartment for us and we worked out from information in the unit what to do with the lock on the door as well as the departure procedure. The unit is walking distance to major bus routes and only minutes walk from the main beaches. Food Pantry is practically across the road and very handy for grocery items. The apartment felt secure, with security at the main entrance and the locking mechanism on our apartment door. We were on the 12th floor with views over the canal and the golf course. We got the beautiful afternoon breeze and the apartment did not get too hot in the afternoon. The apartment was well equipped with all kitchen utensils and everything was clean and tidy. We would only have one request, that is to include salt and pepper for the guests. To buy these two staples seemed silly, since we were only staying a couple of days and did not want to add salt and pepper to our luggage.
All in all a great holiday and a great apartment."

Location was good except for the traffic noise, mainly emmergency vehicles. The Food Pantry is hand but we heard its closing in march. The building is getting old and some areas need updating. The hot tub was out of orfer most of the month, and the pool was cold and filter sand in it every day.
1217 is very basic and needs a bit of updating. Well equipped withalmost every thing you need. Not recommended just for the noise...location is good but get a high floor.

This has been our second visit to this property. We like the fact there is parking & there is security downstairs. 12th floor gives good views of the Ala Wai Canal & golf course. Downside to this property is that it can be noisy with cars & occasional sirens coming from Ala Wai Street, but not a deal breaker. Building complex is quiet with only one neighbor who likes to cook garlicly food late at night. We would definitely stay here again."

"Graduation Family Trip
Great value. Location is 4 blocks from beach, but lots to see along the way so we didn't mind and actually enjoyed it. Small grocery store was very close and made it easy to purchase few items to eat in the room. Having kitchen, washer and dryer was awesome. Jessica was extremely helpful and available for any questions/concerns we had. Had a concern about roaches; I learned this is the norm for the island due to no "season" to get rid of them for a while. Even though I realize there wasn't anything to be done after speaking with Jessica, she still sent over exterminator the same day. We used the roof top pool daily. The free parking and wifi were a huge bonus, I would stay again for sure. "

"Fantastic resort, with one small caveat
Pros: Fantastic location, great amenities, and nice furniture.
Cons: After a grocery store run we were greeted by about a dozen roaches who lingered long after we relocated all of the food to the fridge. I know this is to be expected in Hawaii, but it was nevertheless unsettling."

For late booking, place was well priced for 2 bd condo and convenient for Waikiki. Parking spot is alongside a wall and a tight squeeze between another minivan. Property is old and dated, relatively clean, but there were roaches in the kitchen, so clean everything before use. Both tubs drained very slow, and every shower was in standing water. wifi and W/D worked well. beds were okay too. "

"Fairway Villa #1217, Honolulu
Villa was neat and clean as pictured in villa description. Everything was in working order. Limited supplies (no detergent for washing machine and dustpan was missing). We were very happy with towel supply including beach towels and 2 sand chairs. Chairs and tables on balcony were convenient for viewing the surrounding area, such as the canal, golf course, ocean and sunrise. Lobby was clean and the security staff was friendly. Also nearby were public buses, tourist booths, restaurants, shop for internet access, luxury shopping stores, and Waikiki beach. Since parking is free at the condo,would recommend renting a car if you want to see other areas of the island on your own. Location of the villa is excellent and it is highly recommended for 2 couples or for families. We ate most of our meals in the condo - only restaurant we ate at was Nico's - located on the waterfront - and I would recommend it. Food is very expensive in the local supermarket so we went to a Walmart to buy groceries. The Coffee Bean and Starbuck's are within 2 blocks. By the way, we went to Germaine's luau and enjoyed the food, show and, in particular, our host on the bus, Cuzzin Reno. We have been to Maui and to Kauai and enjoyed Oahu the best because of the extensive activities. Honolulu is a beautiful city - it has been on a building campaign for the last 15 years and it is much improved since we were there 23 years ago. Can't wait to return to Honolulu."

We enjoyed our stay. The amenities were great! We has all we needed to feel like home. Very close to shops, restaurants and the beach. Walking to nearby stores was easy and convenient. "

"Oahu 9/8-9/15/2014
Loved the stay. Condo was exactly as advertised. Byron was a great host and contact. We left a styrofoam cooler and two beach chairs to "pay it forward" so hope those will remain for future guests should they need them."

"Nice place to stay in Waikiki
We enjoyed our time at 1217 Fairway Villa. Captain Cook Resort staff were very professional. Unit was in very good condition and felt spacious for Waikiki. Both security staff and other residents were friendly. Only downside was some traffic noise at night (with the a/c off). That's a pretty minor point. Overall, highly recommended."

"Pros and Cons
PROS:
1. Located very close to where you want to be. Easy walk to shopping, restaurants, beach, groceries, etc. Just one block to Kuhio where the local bus lines run. Can get to anywhere from here.
2. Newer furnishings and newly remodeled.
3. Free Wi-fi- easy access & good signal.
4. The Food Pantry grocery store is only 1 block away. Good selection.
CONS:
1. Located on a VERY noisy street! Ala Wai has alot of traffic noise and folks yelling on the street all hrs of the night. Nice view of Ala Wai canal, but otherwise view is nothing but neighbors on their lanais & hi-rise bldgs. View of Diamond head is blocked by bldgs. No clear view from roof top either.
2. Small- we had only 2 people here and it felt cramped. You could do 4 but be prepared to be uncomfortable. IF you plan on being here only to sleep, that might work, but "hanging out" at this condo won't be fun.
3. The wind down Ala Wai can literally howl and the older jalousie windows here don't seal properly and add to the howling noise.
4. Condo is adequately equipped as long as you are only doing small breakfasts here. Would be difficult to cook entire meal.
5. No beach chairs to use at the beach.
Personally, I would not stay here again (or any place that fronted Ala Wai), BUT if this fits your budget and you only have 2 people it works. Bring your ear plugs."
