Comfortable Stay
Brian B. from West Shokan, US, August 30, 2026 Stayed for 3 days in August 2026This was a last minute rental as we disembarked our cruise ship due to an approaching tropical storm. Place was exactly as advertised. Restaurants and shops a ways away without a car - so we rented one and it made it a lit easier, especially with on-site parking.

Comfortable Stay on the Edge of Waikiki
Fremont, United States, August 9, 2026 Stayed for 12 days in July 2026Our family enjoyed the vacation rental at Waikiki Sunset. The unit seemed worn but was comfortable and roomy enough for our needs. We specifically looked for a unit that would have a kitchen, parking and a pool. This room is a 2 bed, 1 bath unit which is one of the few places/buildings in Waikiki that had this configuration at a reasonable price point. It is at the end of the hallway, and at first I was worried that it being next to the trash room and laundry room, it might be loud, but that wasn’t the case at all. And in fact, it was quite convenient that the trash and laundry room was so close to us. It’s a Diamond Head view, and overlooks Jefferson Elementary, but since it was summer, no school in session. The beach towels, beach chairs and the large cooler bag were so helpful to have. We did some light cooking, so it was great to have a kitchen and all the utensils and dishes. The sofa bed is queen sized and was decently comfortable, not springy or lumpy like other sofa beds I’ve been on. Kids enjoyed the pool, but it could be windy at times, since it was on the 6th floor rooftop. Large parking garage, and we could always find a space, there is an attendant stationed 24/7 to get out of the garage. Since it’s on the edge of Waikiki, the Sunset is an easy location to get in and out of Waikiki. There is a small convenience store on the 5th floor which came in handy (drinks, ramen, sundries). Convenient location with stores, restaurants and the beach just a few blocks away. Our host was responsive and helped with any questions or issues we had. Check in and check out was very easy. I would stay here again.

Nice stay with a view
Christabel C. from Antioch, US, April 16, 2026 Stayed for 5 days in March 2026This place had everything we needed for a memorable almost week long stay with my husband, toddler, and parents. Best features: the view!!!, the kitchen, the provided parking!!!!, the prime walkable location, the communication. I’ve been to O’ahu a number of times, and this is my favourite stay thus far. Would stay here again!!!

Great Repeat Visit to Waikiki sunset
Celia L. from Medford, United States, September 11, 2025 Stayed for 8 days in September 2025We enjoyed our stay at Waikiki Sunset 2bdrm condo. We have stayed at this property before and we like that it is a little quieter being near the edge of Waikiki, and easier to get to and from. Rooms are clean and it's nice to have the 2 bedrooms and a pull out bed. Amenities were as promised. Check in and check out is easy. Free parking was a big bonus, so we will miss that when it goes away next year.

Great Location
Algonquin, US, August 1, 2025 Stayed for 4 days in July 2025This was the second leg of our Hawaii tour and we couldn't have asked for a better location. Two blocks from the beach and main drag, safe neighborhood, convenient parking, and a nice condo. Space worked well for a family of four (2 teens) so no complaints. Loved that the unit came with beach chairs and umbrella which made it easy to walk down the street and be on the beach in a few minutes. Parking was convenient and is currently included with the VRBO but I relive starting 2026 it will be an extra charge. Once item of not is the height of the garage as spelled out at 6'. We changed out our rental from a Jeep Wrangler to a Mazda SUV just to make sure no clearance issues. probably would have been ok with the Jeep since there were a couple of them in the garage, but also noticed quite a few scrapes in the ceiling of the parking garage from some unlucky driver. Had one issue with the internet where it was out for a few days which meant no TV (small kids may have an issue) but with cell phones and being out and about was not a major inconvenience for us. overall great location int he city.

Great location
Killarney, Unknown, February 24, 2025 Stayed for 5 days in February 2025Close to Waikiki Beach, shopping, bus stops to Pearl Harbor. Easy check in and out. Clean but needs some love. Many nicks in walls and cupboards. Rooms smaller than appear in photos but comfortable. Appreciated the beach chairs and info on where to shop/eat

fantastic stay!!!
Douglas L. from Burlington, CA, January 25, 2025 Stayed for 5 days in January 2025zero zero issues!!! what a location. The condo is a block away from Waikiki beach, the view of diamond head was incredible. My buddy and I came out for a boys weekend and we both enjoyed our stay. Check in and check out were easy and flawless. Great communication from the host and once again can't recommend this place enough. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

our group review
Lisa R. from Ashburton, New Zealand, October 28, 2024 Stayed for 10 days in October 2024Nice unit, things that could be reviewed:
1. Ranch slider was hard to open and needs looked at
2. A clothes rack for drying clothes on would be useful.
3. Directions on how shower works for overseas people visiting would be useful.
4. There was only small fitted sheet for the couch pull out bed thst did not fit it and a mink blanket was the only top bedding available
Otherwise the unit was well purposed.

Beautiful place near Waikiki
Rebecca A. from Loma Linda, US, October 3, 2024 Stayed for 6 days in September 2024We had a pleasant stay. The unit is clean. Beautiful view of Diamond Head. Even with the AC off, you can feel the nice breeze at 14th floor. They have beach towels and beach chairs your can use if you want to hang out by Waikiki Beach. Very convenient location. It is close to everything.The condo is located at the 14th floor and there is a mart on the 5th floor if you forgot to buy groceries and want to cook simple breakfast. It's walking distance to an ABC store, food truck. It is very safe. If you are renting a car though, don't rent big SUV's because the ceiling of the parking structure is low. We had to switch our Ford expedition to a smaller SUV.other than that, I say, the place is great. Byron, the property manager is very pleasant as well. He could not be there in person but he arranged everything for an easy check in. We recommend this place to everyone.

Geat views of Diamond Head
Paul O. from Irvine, US, July 8, 2024 Stayed for 5 days in June 2024Smooth and professional check in. Walking distance to all the important Waikiki destinations, restaurants and beach. Far enough away from the beach to be quiet at night. Great condo for a family. Nice and clean.

Waikiki Sunset
Doreen T. from Gardena, United States, September 12, 2023 Stayed for 4 days in September 2023The condo is dated but the location is a couple of blocks from the beach, shopping and restaurants. Parking is a big plus in Waikiki. Condo is next to laundry and trash so convenient. Overall it’s a good value.

Waikiki Sunset #1414
Hanover, United States, August 13, 2023 Stayed for 4 days in August 2023Had a great stay. Very convenient location and wonderful view. Amenities were very nice and we had everything we needed.
Only negatives would be there was a feitn musty smell that may have been coming in from the trash room right next to our unit. Also the air conditioning unit was very loud. Also the elevators sometimes took a while but understandable as it is a large building. But other than that it was a nice place to call home for a few days.Response from Captain Cook Resorts

Great place close to everything
Celso W. from United States, January 30, 2022 Stayed for 30 days in December 2021Great place close to end of Waikiki. Great views of Diamond head. Also includes a pull out bed from the couch. Lots of sleeping place for a party of 4 adults and 2 kids. There are covid protocols in place so you will have to call ahead to book the pool facilties.

Affordable Rental with a Great View and Great Location
Kaysville, United States, June 3, 2021 Stayed for 31 days in May 2021The condo was clean and comfortable. The beds were not hard or to soft. The A/C kept the condo cool and comfortable. I slept well.
I sat at the desk and worked most weekdays using the internet. The internet never failed but I did have one Zoom meeting that it didn't have enough bandwidth to handle so we had to end the video and just use audio. Otherwise, I never had a problem with it.
Captain Cook manager was good at providing for our needs. The fridge was leaking water to the ice maker. After my call, he called a repairman which showed up the next day to replace the parts in the fridge to fix that.
Yes they are still working on replacing the pipes in the building and there were 2 different days where water and A/C were turned off to replace pipes. They tell you days in advance so we planned on being elsewhere during that time. No construction happened at night. We could hear some starting around 9-10 am on a few days but it was mostly quiet.
I would definitely recommend this condo to family or a friend. But I must provide a caution. It is NOT a 5 or 4 STAR hotel. If you can't live with imperfections, then go somewhere else. (And plan on paying a lot more for it.)
Imperfections like scratches on the tile floor, some paint peeling off, a 3 foot tub (I showered every day so it didn't matter to me. Note - to turn shower on, pull the ring down on bottom of the faucet), cabinet doors starting to come apart, outdated furniture, etc...
Yes it is used, but is all usable. Wonderful view of Diamond Head, close to Queens and Waikiki beaches, close to Zoo, within walking distance to a lot of attractions.
I was satisfied with my stay and have a lot of wonderful memories of my month there. I enjoyed my stay at this rental.Response from Captain Cook Resorts
