Everything about the condo was as pictured and wonderful.The facility itself has slow elevators and is dated with a musty smell.Loved the location and free parking.

The room itself was great as well as the host. The building's location makes if very convenient to the beach and shops. Unfortunately, the building elevators get a zero rating. The wait times were long and in several cases, the elevator did not stop on our floor. Because we were on the 9th floor, we utilized the fire stairs instead of the elevator whenever possible. Downtown Waikiki is very loud day and night and that limited our use of the balcony and keeping the sliding window open.

This is a great spot close to everything in the Waikiki Beach area. Easy to navigate. Parking included which is a huge plus. Monique was responsive and helpful. The bed was comfortable - I'm picky. The umbrella was very handy!
Overall so glad I picked this spot. I would suggest maybe equipping the condo with a small handheld vacuum - handy for cleaning up the inevitable sand ;)

Please double check all light blubs after each stay. The main entry way light blub was out. Also the room could use another light source in the living area.

We had a fantastic stay at this 1BR unit at the Waikiki Banyan. It was spotless and well-maintained, making it feel like a true home away from home. The check-in process was seamless, and the property manager was communicative and responsive throughout our stay.
The listing was accurate, and the unit was just as described—spacious, fully equipped kitchen, and it was a huge bonus to have free parking and no resort fees. The location couldn’t have been better! It’s right in the heart of Waikiki, with easy access to the beach, restaurants, and shops. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to explore the area.
Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a hassle-free stay in Waikiki!

The property is about 3 blocks from Waikiki beach and has the zoo and aquarium within walking distance. The playground and pool/hot tubs were very clean and loved by our kids. The property had more than enough towels, linens, and kitchen essentials! There is some building construction that made elevators run slow or added some noise. This unit also had beach blanket, chairs, and a stroller that all came in handy! We would definitely stay again!

Very close to great beaches in Wakiki. (better beaches than Hilton villages etc IMHO). Beach view from the room (especially from bedroom). There is obstructed view from Lanai. Many amenities such as beach chair, beach mats, beach towels, boogie boards, umbrella, tents and even strollers and coolers.

The host was super friendly and very easy to communicate and to work with. The place was very clean when we got here. The property was also down the street from Waikiki Beach and the strip so it was very easy to get around. Overall the experience was a 10/10! Definitely will be booking again with Monica!

This condo was the perfect fit for our family of 4. The condo was exactly as pictured & was the perfect mix of location to Waikiki, amenities of a kitchen so we didn’t need to eat out for every meal and included a parking pass. We quickly realized that parking is a huge commodity everywhere you go on the island and so having a free spot to pull into at the end of a day after seeing the sights was a huge perk. We greatly enjoyed how quick Monique was to respond throughout our stay. The condo included some personal touches such a Hawaiian coffee, sunblock block, shampoo/conditione/body wash and then had enough amenities such as toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap etc for our 8 day stay. We weren’t originally planning to boogie board in the ocean but since the boards were provided, we decided to give it a try and found out how much fun it was. Ended up using the boards, beach chairs, beach towels, beach mat throughout our stay, which made our beach days perfect.The Waikiki Banyon felt safe and clean, especially compared to other places we walked through during our visit. We did not use the pool because we came to Hawaii to discover all the amazing beaches. We loved sitting out on the patio deck for our morning coffee and having the partial view of the ocean. Beds were very comfortable, air conditioning and ceiling fans kept the condo at a perfect temp, condo size gave our family of 4 enough space to store our luggage and amnesties during our stay. Very pleased, thank you!

We had a great time we were arriving a few hours before check in and she was very accommodating to let us check in early. The room was exactly as listed. The bed was very comfortable lots of pillows, well stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and beach gear. The ceiling fans were great at night so we didn't have to run the AC all the time. The location was great we didn't have to rent a car as we had planned to do. We would definitely stay again. The only draw backs were out of the owners control. It's an older building and one of the elevators was out of order so it could take awhile to get in and out. The pool area had construction on going that was very loud it sounded like they were drilling right above us but it was 3 floors down. It rained very hard a couple days so we stayed in but there was no sleeping in because the work started early the only relief was on the weekend. We really did have a good time minus the noise.

All was well, except when we communicated that the kitchen faucet was dispensing only a dribble of hot water. The owner's response was to thank us for bringing the matter to her attention. We expected the problem would have been fixed immediately. We spent several days having to transfer hot water from the bathroom to the kitchen in order to wash pots and pans. We didn't complain about the sliding doors to the bedroom being inoperable...the fact that the bedroom doors couldn't be closed was nevertheless a very annoying condition.

We were very happy with this place. The location was close to everything, walking distance. We loved that the parking was included.

Fantastic location only a block from the beach, close to shops and restaurants, easy access to highways. Unit has an ocean view from the lanai/terrace. Includes covered parking, which is great for this district. Elevators are difficult to acquire on checkin or checkout days. Unit is amply supplied with paper products, towels, and kitchen needs. Would stay here again in the future.

The property is in an Excellent location, only 2 short blocks to the beach & main shopping.
Communication with Monique was easy & all enquiries promptly answered. The unit had plenty of amenities, beach chairs, towells, etc.
Apart from the unit being slightly dated, everything was extremely clean, with a very comfortable bed.
Robert D.
November 2023
Great location. Walking distance from many food, shopping and beach options.
The included parking is really nice, but you could buy your own week-long pass for $150.
The 4th floor has a pool, hot tubs, gas grills and lots of lounging area. Convenient.
Laundry facilities on every floor.
The elevators are a little slow, but this building has 37 floors, so there is bound to be some waiting.
The owner of this unit does not live locally, so there may be some disconnect in communication.
I may come here again.

October 2023
The unit was lovely, clean, convenient, but saying it had an ocean view was a stretch.
After check-in, the handyman came to replace the garbage disposal, which was not an inconvenience at all, and he gave us a few tips, but wished he cleaned up better.
I have rented in the Waikiki Banyon several times, so I was expecting a few things like other units I've stated at.
I was disappointed in the amount of 2 drinking glasses, and only 2 coffee mugs were provided. We had to go buy more mugs and filters. Having 1 roll of paper towel and no dish towels was a bit frustrating. There was only one ice tray, so we had to buy ice. Since VRBO are homes away from homes, a nice broom and dustpan would have been appreciated to sweep up the sand. I don't mind cleaning up after ourselves.
A safety issue was the air conditioner outside the slider door, water leaked from the air conditioner and spread along the slider door, along the lanai, which made going in and out very slippery. Maybe install a water catchment.
Other than those few things, we enjoyed out stay. Condo is beautiful, clean, bed and pillows were very comfortable, furniture was well kept. The beach chairs and a nice sized cooler, came in handy, and so did the ironing board.
Much Mahalo!

Unit was as advertised, very clean, great views, amazing location. Loved how close we were to so much, the beach, restaurants, shopping...The unit was nicely updated, and the building itself was great, we utilized the pool & playground while we were there. Parking spot was a huge bonus. Having beach amenities available was a plus as well! Would absolutely stay again!

Everything in room was as expected except the drapes in the living room would not close. It looked like it may have been off the track. For the most part it wasn’t a huge deal because we were up and about early. Otherwise the location, room, and instructions was great. I would recommend and stay there again. Also a nice bonus to this VRBO is the parking space!

We were a family of four, constantly on the go, using this place for breakfast and reheating dinners when needed. Compared to other cities we've stayed in, the cleanliness and furnishings here were exceptional. The parking and entrance security were reliable. The beach, zoo, and mall were just a short walk away. While this place may be better suited for couples or families with teenagers rather than younger kids, we managed fine. It would have been helpful to have a few more dishes and perhaps a vacuum, although the broom sufficed as long as no complains about little trapped sand here or there. We weren't sure if the TV was working, but having internet access was the most important for us. We appreciate the great communication and the pleasant stay!
Ashley N.

Great location to the main area of Waikiki without being too loud. Close walk to the beach as well. Lots of shopping and restaurant options. Monique is extremely responsive which I appreciated greatly.
Parking had several floors which was sometimes hard to find a spot in the evenings. Elevator wasn't too bad, but can be particularly slow even when 1 is down/being serviced. You could be waiting for an elevator for 5-10 minutes.

The condo we stayed at has a great location with free parking to boot. We could easily walk within a 1/4 mile to access the beach, restaurants, shops and markets. The parking itself was in an attached structure to the complex and had an entry guard there 24 hours a day. The unit itself felt nice and felt clean when we started the week, and we loved that it had a balcony where we could sit out there and enjoy the views and breeze.
The issues we had were that it could get a bit noisy even with the windows and balcony door closed. We could hear revellers in the middle of the night and police and fire department at least once a day; perhaps this is normal as it is Waikiki during Easter school break. The second issue was mid-way through our stay we started to notice insects appearing in the unit, which got steadily worse in the days remaining.
Overall though, I think this is a great place to stay and would likely consider staying there again.
Brenda G.

It’s super short walking distance to beach and excitement - always had a spot to park car which is very limited in Waikiki. The condo was clean and I felt safe. Mattresses have been covered completely with plastic cover to prevent any bed bugs. The bed was comfortable and Monique was always available when needed for questions.

Located close to the beach and shopping. Walking distance to the Zoo. On a main bus route so if you like to take public transportation to get around I would recommend. The busses will take you to Pearl Harbor as well as the airport. Bus Route 20 goes to the airport. Also, there were a few things not working in the unit such as the door to the bedroom but I am sure it can be easily fixed. I would stay there again.

The towels were thick and smelled fresh.
The beds and pillows were fluffy.
Full size fridge and freezer. Had every appliance and dish we could need.
Laundry was convenient! Bring your quarters (2.50 a wash/2.50 a dry). So worth not having to tote extra clothes.
Close to everything yet quiet.
Boys loved the pool.
Elevators worked well. Parking was convenient.
If this unit is available and you are looking GO FOR IT!!!

We enjoyed our stay. The place was exactly as described. Check in process was as simple as it gets. We didn’t have much contact with Monique which is a plus bc we had no issues during our stay. We did reach out to her to let her know we arrived and departed and she quickly responded.
Pluses: elevators were fast, PARKING, short wak to beach, shopping, restaurants; lots of kitchen amenities, beach chairs and umbrella and more
Negatives: if I had to list one, I would say that I wish the bed was king size vs queen, but nevertheless it was very comfortable.
We would definitely consider staying here again! Thank you again, Monique, for the hospitality!

September 2022
The process from arriving to leaving was literally quite seamless. Monique's instructions were spot on. There was absolutely no trouble with parking, keys, or entry.
There were 3 things I was looking for when booking a place somewhere on Oahu: free parking, full kitchen, and pull-out bed that was bigger than a twin. Monique's place had all 3 things I needed and to top it off, the balcony was an additional bonus!
On top of the 3 things that were required for me above, the place was equipped with towels, a cooler, and beach chairs! It was great to have access to all those things as first time travelers to Hawai'i.
The location was spot on. It's literally a less than 5 minute walk to Waikiki beach + strip. I'm rather glad the condo wasn't on the strip and gave us some sense of calmness from the chaos.
The only downside to our stay was that the door separating the bedroom to the main living area could not shut so we couldn't necessarily have quiet and privacy whilst in the condo from our friends.
To summarize, I would highly recommend booking here. I believe you definitely get your money's worth. Once I come back, I would definitely stay here again!
Thanks Monique!

Everything from check in to check out was great. Monique provided clear instructions for the check in process, and the unit was ready when we arrived. We truly enjoyed our stay and hated to leave, but when it was time to go, we again had clear communication and timely responses on what was needed to be done before we checked out.
Miho H.
July 2022
The manager was easy to reach and always replied quickly. The unit is spacious but floors were dirty so we were constantly having to wipe or wash our feet. There were dirty dishes in the cabinet and a dirty spatula with food particles in the drawer.
Other than that, it was fine. But this location, while convenient, is loud with partiers (waikiki banyan has always been a party hotel for 20 plus years) so just be warned about that. It has nothing to do with the owners of the unit.
Elevators are very slow and can take up to 10 to 15 min in the mornings because the housekeeping team for the hotel uses the same elevators as guests (freight is next to public but all mixed use).
Andrea C.

It was all I had hoped for and more.
Lea M.

The location is perfect. Free parking and Waikiki beach with shops and restaurants in foot distance. The appartment is well equipped and the size of the appartment is pretty good with a separate sleeping room. Only negative point is, that it is really warm and loud in the sleeping room. Also with closed window.
BUT wuld definitely recommend this appartment.

We had a great stay at this 1 BR condo with a full kitchen and balcony just a couple blocks from the beach. Bright, clean, comfortable bed, great location, parking included, with a pool and hot tub.

Monique's place was a short (less than 10 minute) and easy walk to the beach where our kids (ages 5 and 7) were able to enjoy the water safely within the confines of the lagoon. We appreciated having a parking pass since we rented a car during our stay. We were always able to find convenient parking close to the elevators in the garage. Monique also provided a closet full of beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, towels, and ice chest that we put to good use!

We greatly enjoyed staying at Monique's condo. Though the building itself could use some updating (mainly the hallways), her place was super cute and comfortable. We loved the location and all the amenities Monique supplied for our stay. The bed was one of the most comfortable I've slept in on a vacation! Monique was very responsive in all communication. I would highly recommend Monique's place for a stay in Waikiki.
Charla R.
September 2021
This space rents exactly as promised. There aren’t any frills or fancy amenities, but after viewing the listing and reading the reviews, we didn’t expect anything too fancy.
First, the criticisms:
- The space is outdated and that shows in the decor and fixtures. One of the track lights above the kitchen was hanging out of its base, the toilet ran constantly unless we jiggled the handle, and the tub faucet handle fell off several times.
- The unit is clean, though there are signs of age that make it feel a bit dingy.
- The lighting throughout could definitely be improved and was especially lacking in the bedroom.
- With the windows open, there was some street noise that would wake us up in the night.
Now the positives:
- Free parking!!!
Monique was AMAZING to work with. We didn’t have any issues during our trip, just a couple of questions, and she was super quick at responding.
- As stated before, the unit was cleaned nicely when we arrived. There is a full-size broom on the lanai and a small broom and dustpan under the bathroom sink for sweeping up during the stay. (We found we were bringing in quite a bit of sand after each beach trip.)
- There was plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, and facial tissue, as well as some aluminum foil and cling wrap.
- The unit was outfitted well with cookware, plates, bowls, utensils, etc. There were even food storage containers for leftovers. We were able to prepare meals without wishing we had a different pot or pan or cooking utensil.
- There was a good variety of pillows, so everyone was able to find one that suited them.
- It was nice to have beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrellas provided.
- The linens were very clean, bright, soft, and smelled nice.
- During our stay, there was a spice rack with plenty of spices to choose from as well as a couple of extras in the cupboard.
- It was nice to be a short walk from Waikiki beach, which ended up being one of our favorite beaches we visited during the trip.
Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives, and our stay was very enjoyable.

We stay here for 13 days. It was amazing! Loved this place! The add was accurate with every aspect! The location was the BEST - 1 block to the beach!! Parking included and we could always find a spot!! Beach chairs, cooler, water toys, umbrella - all there! We found a printer in the coffee cafe ($.40 per copy) downstairs to print up boarding passes. Owner was very responsive. We would definitely stay there again! The only thing, maybe add a 3 ring binder with information about good restaurants that you recommend, coffee shop downstairs with printer, how to sign up for the barbeque rental, some good snorkling areas, etc.

Building was older but the unit was comfortable and updated. I had trouble getting into the unit with the door code provided but the owner was able to remote reset the code while we waited outside the unit. Air conditioning worked great, pool and beach equipment provided which we didn’t use but I was thankful to see because sometimes we forget to pack ours. No instructions were left for the resort as in pool hours, amenities, etc. but we figured it out.

First of all, location, location, location! This wonderful condo is 1 1/2 blocks from Waikiki Beach. This sounds like an odd thing to bring up, but the plumbing is wonderful! The shower is superb, and the water pressure is great. Oh yes... instant hot water! Unlike some places, everything you read in the description is totally true, and the pictures are not deceiving at all. Best of all is Monique! She is gracious, extremely helpful, and quite quick to respond to any questions you may have while staying here! I cannot recommend this place enough!

My wife and I have stayed at the Waikiki Banyan a total of 13 times in 5 different condos. We have been fortunate in that all of those places were nice and comfortable and certainly met our needs.
This was our first time staying at Monique's condo and were certainly looking forward to it. The pictures were nice and the reviews were good. Boy were we impressed when we finally got there.
This condo has everything you could ask for any stay in Waikiki. The kitchen is modern and has excellent appliances. It is fully stocked with anything you might need to prepare meals if you want to cook.
Rather than go on about the amenities that are all listed in Monique's condo description, I will simply say that both my wife and I agreed that if we could own any of the condos that we have seen and stayed at, Monique's would be the one. While of course you know you are on vacation while staying there, everything about the condo just says home.
The only downside that I can speak about for us is the bed setup. When we travel as a family we are a family of 4. We have 2 teenagers (a boy and a girl) so this condo would not work for us for sleeping arrangements. But, when my wife and I travel as a couple only, this will be the only condo I will ever rent again.
Finally, Monique was easy to communicate with and very fast on refunding our damage deposit. We actually got the notification of that as we were flying back home!
I am super impressed with everything.
