If you like to have the flexibility to set your own schedule, save a little $$ by cooking a few of your own meals, this unit provides for all you will need. The management was very attentive to our needs (quickly replace a broken coffee pot). This is Waikiki, and you will have some 'night life noise' in the evenings. Recommend paying for the parking with the unit."
As mentioned in other reviews, it is positioned on the 3rd floor so I would not recommend if you are a light sleeper - this was not an issue for us and we would happily recommend renting this place."
Fabulous location, and value. Clean, comfortable with an easy check in. "
I would have rated the stay 5 stars except the parking information was not correct, you had to provide your own quarters ($5.00 is needed to wash & dry one load) for laundry, the AC unit would not keep the set temperature and had to be reset periodically."
My first visit to Hawaii and it was a Great Experience! I will definitely come back! "
We had a great vacation and this rental was fantastic! I would definitely book again for my next visit to see my son! Thank you!!"
Great room, great view, great customer communication from the property management focused all the time to make sure that the customer have a great and pleasant stay. I believe it was the best room from the whole condominium from my point of view."

Everything is perfect, except the pub downstairs is a bit noisy in the evenings."
We experienced the same complaint that others in the past have experienced: The A/C does not cool the unit very well. We stayed Christmas thru New Years when the temperatures outside are moderate. I can't image what it must be like in the unit in the summer. We booked the unit because of the location and the view. The location is great but what good is paying for a view you can't use because you have to keep the shades closed all day to keep the sun's heat out. If you open the shades for very long you start sweating in the unit. The unit was clean. The couch is a futon that converts to a bed and the cushions are loose and it's not super comfortable to sit on."
Everything about these condos are what was expected great location, clean modern rooms at great prices...well looked after."
The apartment was lovely, but getting a good night sleep is difficulty. The apartment is not sound proof. You can hear all the noise from outside, the apartment above. The aircon start up through the night, the fan in the bathroom was like an aeroplane take off. So if you thinking of getting so rest, this is not the place. beautiful view. "
We love staying at the Ilikai Marina and working with Captain Cook Resorts. Condo #386 was very clean and comfortable but, being on a lower floor, it was somewhat noisy at night (although it did not keep us awake). Paul Tucker, the property manager, was delightful to work with. We enjoyed our stay very much."
Our vacation rental had everything we could possibly need, a kitchen, the view, a living area, location, comfy bed, etc. We loved it."
We had a wonderful stay in Wiakiki. The condo was perfect and had plenty of space. The only down side was the bed. I think the mattress needs to be replaced. They layout of the condo was great for 4 ppl. It is a very short walk to the beach. Everything is within walking distance but if you do rent a car the parking fees are very reasonable. "
The perhaps the lanai could have a small table and chairs like the other Lanais in the building. The rug under the coffee table/ foot rest is ugly and does not match anything in the lounge, perhaps a coral shade rug or paint the walls in a more neutral colour would help make the living area look a bit more 'up market?'"

Overall, we enjoy staying at the Ilikai Marina. We have stayed there for the past two years for two to three weeks each time because it offers good value in a great location for us. We did, however, experience three problems---the refrigerator leaked water on the inside and had to be mopped up each day, there were ants in the bathroom, and the noise from the first floor restaurant and bar sometimes prevented us from sleeping---luckily it quieted down after 1 AM each (and every) night. These were not problems last year, so next year we hope these can be resolved."
Great condo - good location as described amenities. Would rent again."
Easy to check in, everything worked well. It was a pleasure to use the kitchen, as I must say, going out for dining is crazy. The prices at Waikiki-Beach are not from this world. Use the bus to visit Pearl Harbour, the Single ticket is $ 2,50. The busstop is close to the main street. "
The arranging of the apartment was so easy, the paperwork easy and communication was excellent with Capitan Cook, The apartment itself was ok. Have stayed in the building one a year for around two weeks at a time for the past 7 years. This was the first time in this apartment and the first time on level 3. My advise DO NOT STAY ON LEVEL 3. The apartment itself was excellently clean and had everything you need no question about that. Coin operated laundry on level 8 $2.25 per wash and $2.25 per dry take your own powder, everything work well especially the fire alarms in the apartment that went off regularly when cooking toast as us aussies do for breakfast as well as at times when baking. The down side to level three is the noise and there is a lot of it. There is a night club on level two, which we were very much aware of but had no idea how noisy it was going to be and the noise did not stop at 10pm or 11pm but could be heard most nights up and until 3am and 4am. The noise was some music but usually people carrying on yelling etc. the bed was a king size but when you turned over duri8ng the night the noise the squeaking was disturbing. The internet was horrid and my two attempt to have it fixed did not work so I gave up. I could not hook up to the internet at all during my stay and the other person was constantly logged in and out by breaks in the continuous log in. There was plenty of clean linen sheets and towels, couple of soaps were left, and enough other basic cleaning essentials to get you started toilet paper etc so this was very good. as I said the apartment was very good but the things I have noted above that detract from your holiday have never happened in the other apartments I have stayed in previous years. Having said that this will not stop be returning to the Ilikai Marina but if apartment 386 was the only one available then I would stay elsewhere. "
"I WANT TO GO BACK!!
GREAT LOCATION!!! I WILL BE BACK!!"
This will be my 1st choice for all future trips to Honolulu."
Second time to beautiful Oahu! So happy we rented a condo instead of hotel room. Much more relaxed and spacious. Awesome to have a kitchen! Loved dealing with Captain Cook Rentals very easy, love the app, and great employees! The unit was just as it looked, the pullout sofa was uncomfortable but found one side better then other. We would have liked having one mornings worth of coffee/tea in unit since we arrived late at night. Everything else in unit was super! Just a note about restaurant down below...very noisy specially Thursday -Saturday and you can really hear street traffic and people, but we are in a city! "
Very lovely place. Everything was perfect except the bed. When we laid down, you could tell that it was not level. Our feet were higher than our heads. So I remade the bed, we slept with heads at the foot of the bed. No big deal"
Loved the location and the property was exactly as described. We just happened to come at a time when they were doing building maintenance (eg. water shut off for 4 hrs,floor tiling by elevators)Overall still very pleased with our stay and would be happy to return. Thank you."
Fourth time with Captain Cook and thoroughly enjoyed the vacation. Unit was as described with no surprises. AC is old - but did the job, eventually. Ceiling fan was great. Sofa bed was surprisingly comfortable for one person, possibly two. Kitchen utensils were so-so, but worked for two adults and two kids (oldest 3yrs). Local property manager (Paul) was very pleasant and accommodating. Street noise not an issue when patio door closed. Overall, highly recommended. Only problem with the vacation was the diminished value of the Canadian dollar."

Will definitely book with Captain Cook again when we come back!"
Guests should note that the Air Conditioning is massively underpowered and cannot really cool the room in the afternoon sun. Other people staying in the building told me that was true for the whole building, not specific to this condo. Plenty of fans are supplied and if you like it warm you will enjoy your stay."

Grat location, great condo. Other than not having any air conditioning (because they were in the process of changing them) the unit was wonderful. It came with all supplies, snorkeling gear etc.. The owner gave us 20% back every day that we didn't have AC. I would definitely stay here again."

This unit was well equipped and very comfortable. "
This condo is exactly as described. We loved the view, the convenience, on-site parking, and the spaciousness. We can highly recommend this property!"
I stayed in this flat for 8 days. Overall it was a great experience. The place was clean, had all that we needed for the stay. Location was also right by the beach, just 5 mins walking distance to a lagoon nearby. The only thing was that the shower was pretty clogged when we got there, so the bathtub would easily fill when you're taking a shower. But other than that the place was great. "
I stayed at this condo for 10 days. The room is very clean and nice. Because it was located on the third floor, we could hear some noise from the street. But after 23:00it was usually quiet. It is only 5mins walk from ala moana shopping center. If there is anything inconvenient, I called the contact person of the Captain cook and they would come in like five minutes. I definitely recommend this condominium. "
What a nice little condo. The only things we didn't like were the bed was terribly uncomfortable(very very hard) and on the weekend the noise from the main floor pub was a bit loud. The pub we could live with but I don't think we would rent again because of the bed which is too bad because everything else was perfect. The management company was amazing to deal with. "
Spacious, clean modern condo, located within very short walk of all Waikiki has to offer. Couldn't be happier with the condo. "
The location is amazing and the rental was clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need, even down to the snorkeling gear! However, I was not met at the property and waited around for 10 minutes before going to the room. I decided to try the handle and found that it was unlocked. I was not informed that it was open for me to go into until about a half-hour past when I was supposed to meet the property manager. That's when he called me to see how I was doing. The AC isn't very strong either but it's not too much of an issue if you're out during the hottest parts of the day. Don't try to open the window to cool off, either. While the location makes for an AMAZING view of the sunset, it also has the sun beating down on the property."
The whole process was wonderful, and the location of the condo was great. The condo itself was clean, spacious, and well appointed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!"
We enjoyed the view a lot and found the location really good for us. The bed was too big for the room. The knives were dull. The ice trays did not let loose of ice. Great view at sunset. It was convenient for what we wanted to do, go to the beach, check the harbor, cook good food and eat at good restaurants. "
Great place for its location and a lanai on the Waikiki harbor. 3 minute walk to Waikiki Beach/Hilton Hawaiian Village. There is a bar on the first floor below the units. Fancy restaurant/bar on the third floor. Clean and comfortable. "Free wifi" (it's included in the total cost). Friendly really cool manager! Only issue was the air conditioner did not work that well. Over all I'd do it again! Mahalo Captain Cook!"
"Place was great! View was fantastic! Comfy and clean!
Clean, bright with all the amenities you need. I would highly recommend this condo. Way better and more reasonable than a hotel."
We had an amazing time. The location of the condo was perfect. We were only steps from the beach and lagoon. We enjoyed watching the boats in the marina and seeing the barracuda that called the marina home. I recommend you pay the extra for parking and rent a car. The room was perfect for two people and the kitchen was well equipped. The only negative thing we can say is that the air conditioner struggled in the evenings, but not enough to change our opinion about thr place. "
It was a wonderful experience. Clean, beautiful condo. The view is beautiful. The location is very convenient. Close to bus stop, convenient stores.."
Good location if you want a good night sleep easy access to everything"
