"Great for the Younger Set 60 and under
The unit #1204 was very clean and welcoming. However, it wasn't for me. I'm 85 yrs and found that the bed as a bit high, the stools around the table was not good for the elderly. However they made great night stands for me. The bathroom was clean, however, no safety bars or rubber bathmat in tub. Not for the elderly, however, towels were great. No TV instructions, I made due with my I-Pad. I learned to improvise with what was available.
Price was reasonable consider the location and parking was included. Able to see the fireworks on Friday evenings. Kitchen was ok, couldn't reach the top shelf, I'm too short. I would recommend this unit but not for the seniors over 75 yrs. Especially the need of safety bars in the bathroom."

"また利用したいです
早めにお部屋に入れていただきありがとうございました。使い勝手もよく概ね満足でしたが、気になることもありましたので3点ほど記載します。そこが改善されるとさらに嬉しいですし、友人にもおすすめできると思います。
まずは、クローゼットです。畳み以外の衣類をかけたくても、掃除道具やビーチセット(椅子など)が同じ場所に保管されているため、気分的に利用できませんでした。
2点目はクーラーです。外への排水受け皿が満タンになるとベランダに水が流れ下の階に滴り落ちるため、定期的に水をトイレに捨てなくてはなりませんでした。ま&#"

"Great place, great value, recommend
We stayed at this rental for about a week, and it was great. Clean, centrally located, and great value. We didn't use the pool, so can't speak to that. The one issue we had was with the AC. It was leaking off of the balcony and the building shut off the breaker for it, so had to sleep without it one night which was slightly uncomfortable (but there was a fan luckily, so could have been worse). In the morning, the property manager let us know why the AC stopped working and that there was a pan under we should empty occasionally. The building shut it off again the next day b/c of another unit leaking that they attributed to us, and I had to prove to the building that it wasn't us... they said it's usually 1204 so they assumed. Aside from that, it was a great stay! It would have been nice to know about this AC issue upon check in to have avoided this happening. We also weren't clear on needing to register with the front desk upon arrival as that wasn't included in the check in instructions (it didn't actually cause any issues, but had we not had an issue with the AC, I'm not sure we even would have known that we missed a step)"

"Checks most all the boxes!!
We had a 5 day stay at the Naribe Surf. It provided a great location in the heart of Waikiki. It had a nice view, a full size fridge and a small stove and oven. It also had AC,a fan, and a real bonus...a secured parking stall on the 2nd level! And THAT is a big deal that can add an extra $40 - $50 a day elsewhere. The room rate was very reasonable but the taxes and fees add to the cost. However, this will be true anywhere you stay in Waikiki.
Definitely worth a stay!"

Really enjoyed it, only lacking storage for clothes, drawers etc. Found that a little difficult. Otherwise ok. even clothes wardrobe was very sparse, allcleaning products took up the room. "

"Spectacular stay in Hawaii
We enjoyed our stay at the Marine Surf. It has everything we could have wanted. We did take the time to go to Walmart to purchase an Air Fryer because we do like to do our own cooking and the air fryer is our "go to". We did bring the table an chairs into the room from the balcony in order to be able to sit and have our meals comfortably. My mom is 83 and found the stools to not be very comfortable. But it all worked out. We simply brought the table and chairs in for meals and then took it back out at the end of our meal. We very much enjoyed being able to play crib in the evenings out on the balcony.
Thank you for the wonderful stay."

Location was wonderful - shopping and dining at your doorstep. The beach was only a short walk away. The building is older, but the unit is clean and updated. Parking was a bonus!"

This studio that I rented was very very clean, close to the beach, bus stops across the street , building itself was very welcoming and clean. I would stay there again. I would recommend it to anyone.

"A Review of Marine Surf 1204
This was my first time booking a vacation rental and it was delightful! The condo was clean, and it had plenty of space & amenities! Everything from checking in to checking out was easy and convenient and the staff was available to answer my questions immediately! I highly recommend this unit and this property as it is affordable and located close to everything cool in Waikiki. International Market Place is about a 2-5 minute walk as well as Royal Hawaiian Center and Waikiki Shopping Plaza are a block away! Waikiki Beach is super close by and an easy walk to daily! I’m already telling my friends and family to go through Captain Cook Resorts for their next stay in Hawaii! "

"Wonderful stay, will stay again
Right smack in the heart of Waikiki, convenient access to food, the beach, and to the pink trolley stop that gets us to Ala Moana shopping centre. With the free parking included, we could get everywhere we wanted to easily. Our house manager. James, responded promptly whenever we had questions and the virtual check in (via SMS instructions) were clear and easy to follow.
House was clean and sufficient for 2 pax, my husband and I enjoyed having our own bed during our stay. The kitchen also came clean with the sufficient amenities for cooking/washing.
Overall, we loved this apartment & will book again in the future when we are back in Oahu! Highly recommend!"

"滞在をとても楽しめました
カウアイ島からのフライト欠航でチェックインが1日遅れましたが、ていねいな案内で問題なく部屋に入れました。思っていたよりずっと明るく清潔感のある部屋で、滞在中快適に過ごせました。
唯一難点を言えば、すぐ近くの飲食店のライブがかなりうるさく深夜まで響くので、窓を開けて寝るのが難しいことです。"

"Comfortable Stay at Marine Surf #1204
This was my first trip to Oahu, and I really enjoyed staying at this vacation rental. I loved the fact that the parking and Wi-Fi was included in the price. I also liked the idea that everything was close to the condo and Dukes Market was literally a 2-minute walk. The condo itself was well equipped with everything I needed. Staying in and eating take out saved a lot of time and money. I would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend it. "

"Chill and relaxing stay
Nice area and cozy and quaint place. I know it’s part of the rules and stuff but wasn’t feeling how often they had to tell us that the manager wouldn’t be providing any other accommodations regarding tissues, trash bags, toiletries, etc. Also found a cockroach on the 3rd day of our stay. Likely to be due to the condition of the building itself. Otherwise, no conplaints."

"Just right
The unit met all of our needs while we visited Oahu. The location was in an area allowing easy movement to food, shopping and travel. The unit was small, but comfortable and the supplies easily met our needs until we could purchase our preferred supplies. We purchased food and snacks, cooking breakfast daily and eating on the balcony"

"Comfy
Comfy stay in the center of Waikiki. Quick walk to the beach and many stores. Parking space (best for small cars). Stove (too small for regular pizza pan). Perfect for a couple or single. Fast internet. Light sleepers may need to bring a sound machine but not terribly noisy. "

"Marine surf #1204
Very good. Property manager provided orientation on unit, access and all important information.
Fob and key code door lock was easy to use. Parking was great and easy to enter and exit.
We did have an issue with some condensation water puddling in the floor from the refrigerator that I texted the manager about but never heard back. It happened randomly 3 different times and we easily wiped up the water but really does need to be checked!
Although we were up on 12th floor, noise from below was pretty audible and may suggest better sound proof sliding doors. It did get noisy on occasion in the early mornings.
Overall a good stay!"

"Great location. Middle of waikiki. Walking distance to everything
James greeted us on our first day. I asked to check in early, and the apt was available so I was able to. The place was clean. I liked how thenapt had kitchen and cooking utensils. Laundry detergent. Cleaning supplies for dishes and new sponge. The AC worked well and the lanai was helpful when drying out swimming gear. They also had an iron and ironing board. Boogie boards and beach chairs to use. Free parking with the condo was very convenient. It’s a tight parking spot & entry way- no large vans or SUVs will fit. The bed is starting to get really dented in, so maybe a new bed soon. A larger TV would be nice as my husband was watching the NBA playoffs the wk we were there. "

"Central Waikiki
This unit was very much as advertised. Very central and convenient. Waikiki is very noisy at night - bars empty at 1-2 a.m. and there is much drunken yelling. The garbage removal trucks start about 4 a.m. and make a **** of a racket for over an hour. Canadians be warned - when we paid our first installment by credit card we were charged an extra fee of $84.00 US on this property - never before have we had to pay an added fee like this on a . "

"Just like the photos!
The unit was clean and looked exactly like the photos. The unit had everything you need for the kitchen, travel size shampoo/conditioner, beach towels and even beach accessories. The location is great with several food options and Waikiki beach within walking distance. Parking was included which was a huge plus (a little maneuvering required when cars are parked in the spaces around the spot). The chairs and table on the lanai were a little rusty. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay and would stay there again."

This is the second time we have stayed at Marine Surf and were very happy with our studio apartment. It was supplied with every thing we needed, with even some extras we didn't expect. We love being able to walk to most everything, and found people to be very friendly in the building. We would certainly stay there again."

I'll pick this place again.
I walked to the beach a little, but I can go that far enough.
It's right in front of Ross so you can shop late at night
(I mistook it with two places.
This is not Waikiki Park Heights where bathtub water goes down.
Waikiki Park Heights seems to have a broken sink machine)"

This is our 2nd time at Captain Cook's Marine Surf unit. The location is quite good. Short walk to Waikiki beach and evrything! Parking is free and the spot is always available only for you 24/7. The neighbors who are local people living in the same building were quite friendly too.
We only have a problem with the drainage clogged in bathtub since the firstvtome using it, but we solved the problem ourselves. Just buy a Drano from a supermarket and the clog was all gone.
Everything else was wonderful and we had a great stay at Marine Surf 1204."

"You Should Stay Here!!!! Everything Was Great!
It was easy to find and easy to book, it was affordable, the customer service was great, the experience of arriving and having the property manager meet you there was great. The apartment was just how it looked in the pictures, it had everything we needed, it was clean and in a great location, also liked that it was very secure. All around a great experience, if/when we come back to Hawaii, I would want to stay here again. "

"Great experience !
Welcoming the property manager was very good and very nice, thank you Jessica !! The studio was consistent with the photos, it's just perfect. It is clean, well placed and very well equipped (equipment for the beach, cleaning products, engineering washing the floor, AC, etc ...). Free wifi and free parking are also great benefits! My 9 year old niece called the studio "our house of happiness." The only area for improvement is the management of pass upon check (block lift to remove the pass) but I think you will soon do the needful. I also think we should make a checklist to give to visitors to give them the necessary information to the living room (upstairs to the pool, where to take the garbage, how the washing machine etc ...). Thank you for our wonderful Captain Cook holiday week!"

"Good location with noise
Stayed for a week and was happy with the condo. Great location and security! The condo had everything I needed, except for a duster pan and a fan broom, but I did fine cleaning the room when I needed with what was available. The only complaint I have is the noise from outside and my neighbor. You can hear the neighbor opening and closing either a closet or the sliding door constantly. The garbage truck comes at around 5:30am and you can hear the beeping from it. Other than the noise, I was very happy with the condo."
May 03, 2015 - Jen S., Tacoma, Washington

For a few nights it's ok, but longer stays need a comfortable sofa to sit, and a table with chairs when you have company for dinner.
Also, bed sheets that actually fit the bed."

"A Good Deal
Wi-fi, kitchen and parking included - there wasn't a hotel that could compare regarding the price. The check-in was easy and the building seems very secure. Lot's of people actually live in the building (not just rentals). We were happy to stay here, but we aren't fancy people. So with that being said, here are a few things that you might want to know if you are considering staying in unit 1204:
1. The basics were clean (toilet, bathtub, sinks, fridge), however the apartment was very dusty. There were food crumbs between the stove and cabinet that should have been cleaned by now considering everyone pays a cleaning fee. The floor needed to be washed also, but it wasn't filthy.
2. I was worried about roaches based on other reviews, but the condo had multiple traps and we ended up only seeing one the whole week. (There was one in the laundry room also, but the trash shute is in there.)
3. It may be too loud and bright for you to sleep if you are from the suburbs or a rural area. We live in a city and are used to sirens, garbage trucks and street lights.
4. This is a west facing unit, which means it gets very warm in the afternoon/evening. We just had the AC on the whole time, and it was fine.
5. The building doesn't recycle - everything goes into the trash. We only hope it gets sorted later.
6. The pool is actually bigger than it looks in the photo. There is no wading section for kids, but our 3yr old didn't mind just being held the whole time.

The room would have been lot better if a proper table,with chairs with backs,the couch was very uncomfortable.You must chairs with backs when you are over the age of 70.The price was very high for this rental unit.We have been renting for the past15 years in Hawaii and had better units at a cheaper price."

"Location super
The location was super, but the cleaning was not ok.
We had to pay $110.- cleaning fee, but that is too much for such a bad cleaning.
The bed-bath and toilet were clean, but the rest was very dusty, we found dirt between the oven and the kitchencounter and we found cockroaches.
The oven was so very old that we did not use it.
There were holes in the curtain.
The advertisement is talking about freshly painted and that is right but the condo has to be renewed.

"Excellent Value...Recently Renovated
The unit was very clean and comfortable for my one month stay. Looks as though it was recently renovated. Completely functional and well appointed full kitchen was a plus. Older green stove sorely stands out...but it works. The room has a cozy feel to it though there is a fair amount of seating avail. It has a small patio with seating for 2, nice closet space, even has a nice seated vanity mirror space. Laundry center was close and convenient.
Unit is in an excellent location within short walking distance of the beach, shopping areas, and plenty of nightlife. The street noise can be a little loud at times, but that's the price you pay for being close to the main partying area...popular club across the street...with many other bars a short walk away.
Building is secure and you get an assigned parking spot a major PLUS! as some hotels charge up to $40 a day for valet parking.
My only negative was the building has a bug issue. Not a major one but the occasional roach or two will be seen. Though the building does look well maintained and clean.
The check-in and out process was simple. Had no issues with the unit so I never interacted with the unit manager other than to check-in."

Paul greeted us at the lobby and explained about everything to us and he also set up our wi fi for us - very helpful. Our first day we discovered that the toaster did not work and that the hair dryer was missing, Paul replaced these items right away. We also discovered little black bugs in the kitchen, so we kept our food stuff in the fridge. The first week our neighbours in 1202 had a TV on the Lanai and would watch it at night 1am to 5am we complained about this to the office in the lobby and they corrected the problem. The price was great for the month, the only other thing is that this unit could use some updating."

There is nothing but positive things about staying at Marine Surf! The management staff were excellent! There were accommodated a few requests and were available to help with everything. The location was amazing! A few blocks to the beach but only steps way from the International Market and other dining and shopping. The property was clean and well maintained. The Property was well equiped with dishes, towels and an extra set of sheets. The only thing that was a concern to us was that the bars on the lanai were far enough apart for our 1.5 year old to get her head through. Although this apparently was to code, it is a concern to anyone staying there with little ones! Amazing place to stay and enjoy all Honolulu has to offer! "

"Great Stay in Waikiki
My wife and I spent a week at the Marine Surf Condominiums in Waikiki. The condo provided us with a great place to stay as we spent time all over the island during the week. Check in was easy, and Paul Tucker of Captain Cook showed us the room and told us about what was available to do on Oahu during our stay. He was very helpful and friendly. We had no issues during the stay. The room was clean and nice. It is located just a short walking distance from the beach, shopping and restaurants. We would certainly recommend this property to anyone who wants to stay in a nice place in a good location at a very affordable price. I can't mention enough how friendly and helpful Paul and the cleaning staff were. Thanks for helping us enjoy a great first visit to Hawaii. We plan to return soon."
