Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed the stunning views from 20 floors above. The condo was comfortable and quiet (except for the ocean!) with cool breezes. The elevators worked beautifully, so no problem going up and down. And of course the Colony Surf location meant swimming and Kapiolani Park or Diamond Head walks every morning.

This was our second time to make Colony Surf PH 6 our “home” for our stay on Oahu. We are planning on returning next year. The unit is lovely. The furniture, the bedding, the photos and paintings around the unit all combine to give a comfortable aloha feeling. With just 2 of us to cook for, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The unit was immaculate, clean and refreshing. The view of Diamond Head, the blue green ocean during the day beautiful, while after dark the view of the Waikiki skyline was spectacular. What’s not to love having a beach right outside your door!Our unit manager was always available to help us if needed. The Captain Cook office staff were wonderful to work with and could answer any questions we had.

We stayed in this studio apartment in August 2021. When we arrived we were met by the agent who was very helpful. The studio was immaculate, lots of towels and extra sheets, full kitchen had everything we needed in the way of pots, pans, general kitchen items. We enjoyed the location, close enough to the hustle and bustle of Waikiki yet far enough away to enjoy the quiet of the small beach in front of the condo and Kapiolani Park. Because of the North and South orientation of the building, we never had the intense heat from the afternoon sun, yet it was light and airy with a great cross-ventilation. I would suggest that you might bring some spices as the apartment only had salt and pepper. We loved this apartment so much that we have already booked out 2022 trip!

Reviewer Comments:
The view from this unit is its greatest appeal with sunrises over Diamond Head to ocean sunsets. The bed is comfy, the shower water pressure good, kitchen small but sufficient, apartment clean, management was efficient and immediately responded when we couldn't figure out our TV (our fault). We tried to get it again for next year but couldn't so took another. We'd stay here again if given the chance. Thank you Cap'n Cook! (Only downside is the lovely area rugs bunched up and weren't necessary, they got in our way when they rumpled after a month's living.)

Aloha, thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are thrilled that you loved your experience. I will pass your feedback on to the team, and we look forward to your next visit!.
Everything about this property is absolutely fantastic save three. The view is phenomenal, the space is clean and modern, the kitchen is well stocked with all of the key items (except for a can opener), the beach is great (away from most of the tourists), it’s right next to Kapi’olani park with pickle ball. soccer, and great walking paths. The breezes that flow through keep it well ventilated on most nights and days. It’s bright and the open windows make for a great and quiet view even at night. There are only three things that I would change: 1) the bed is not comfortable. In hindsight I would’ve bought a memory foam mattress topper to provide more support, 2) the bottom half of the entry door has clear louvers, which limits privacy, and 3) the hot water in the shower/bathroom isn’t available much before 6:30 am, which made it a challenge when I was trying to work on the West Coast clock. Although these are the reasons why I can’t give it five stars, none of these were deal killers, and I would rent this place 100% of the time for any length of stay. It was great and we fell in love with this unit. If you were able to get a guest membership at the outrigger canoe club next-door, they have a great happy hour and fantastic ocean views. I am definitely going to recommend this place to my friends and family.
Stayed 30 nights in May 2021
