Excellent location, very flexible and great commutation from Paul! Will go back again.
this location is close to all downtown attractions. Very convinient walk out the back and your on the beach with a private hot shower to rinse the sand away
The building is right on the beach, so the location was perfect. Everything we needed was supplied in the condo. We used the onsite parking, and it was great. The property manager Paul was very friendly and had great tips on places to eat and good places to get souvenirs. Would definitely stay here again!
The location of this property is outstanding. While it does not directly face the beach, it is very visible. The amenities are top notch and communication with the property management was excellent. This property is quite literally positioned perfectly for anything you might need or want to do. We were very impressed with the entire experience.

A perfect place for a couple or a solo traveler. The kitchen was well-equipped, the laundry machines were a great addition, and there were plenty of beach supplies on hand. This is such a terrific walkable area with so much to see and buses/trolley's close by. Parking is very expensive in this area, but those who have a car and are staying for more than a few days can buy a monthly pass to park at one of the local lots or garages.

The folks at Captain Cook Resorts are sone of the nicest, most professional we've experienced in our travels, and as far as the accommodations at Waikiki Shores, we actually made some folks who stayed at a nearby hotel very upset, because when we showed them pictures of our rental, they couldn't believe the quality because we paid less than half of what they did!
Great location, just a few steps to beach, shops, eating and coffee. Very small view of ocean as trees block view (higher floors would not have this problem. A bit noisy from patio--people, traffic. Very clean. Nice kitchenette. Good security. No noise from neighbors. Water in shower and sink never really got very hot. Fine Wi-Fi We would stay again for a short visit (4 nights).

This is an absolutely ideal location and the space is perfect for two people. It had everything we needed and was just outside of the busier part of Waikiki. Being right next to the beach and the beautiful park was wonderful. And being able to see the Friday night fireworks from our balcony was magical. The excellent Arnold's is just down the street and there's convenient parking in the large lot across the road. Get the monthly pass if you're staying a few days - that'll save you some $.
As far as location this condo gets a 100%. This area of Waikiki is much quieter then the diamond head side.The condo has everything you need for a comfortable stay, king size bed, full kitchen and waher/dryer inside unit.You can step right onto the beach from the back door of the building.We enjoyed the walking path along the beach every morning which begins right outside the building.The condo comes with beach chairs which we used everyday while enjoying the ocean. We even had the pleasure of viewing a seal who was sunbathing on the beach below our condos for three days in a row. The monk seal was in the process of molting or shedding its skin. It was a very interesting experience.Don’t forget to bring your own shopping bags when going out. Hawaii does not provide bags for your purchases unless your shopping at the high end stores.

Our view across the tree tops with partial ocean view was very pleasant, with the bird life of Fort DeRussy Park in full display, including a flock of green parrots. A minor maintenance item was taken care of quickly. You have direct access to the beach from the building, with a comfortable shower just inside the gate. Numerous shops and restaurants in easy walking distance. Captain Cook Resorts is very professional and responsive.
We loved that our host was in the lobby ready to escort us to his beautiful condo and walk us through the various codes and how things worked in the condo. he was very personable. The unit was perfect for the two of us and exactly as pictured on the website.
