Grandma, mom, and 10 week old baby came to Hawaii for a wedding (left both husbands and the toddler home!). Great location for our wedding agenda. Relatively quiet for Waikiki , great parking. All kitchen utensils present but no basic food stuffs (salt, pepper, oil, coffee). No problem, just something to know.
Great host communication

The condo was beautiful and the location couldn't have been better. There's also a beautiful very large lobby and a starbucks next door in the marriott. A quick block to the beach and great shopping even in the plazas that are connected to the marriott next door. We did rent a car for a few days and the ability to have a parking space in the condo parking structurw was invaluable.Thank you Lee and Brandie!

Great Location, Responsive and Helpful Owners,
Really good cross breezes in this unit, close to
anything you could ever want at Waikiki and nicely prepared for our arrival.

The building property is a bit dated, stuffy, and could certainly use some updating with paint and carpet cleaning. Slightly better than Soviet block style housing. The unit itself was clean and unremarkable but sustainable for Waikiki and cheaper than a comparable hotel room, minus the comfort. It’s small for any more than just 2 adults. If the couch sleeper is utilized it takes up most of the useable space. The main bed is in ‘dire’ need of a new mattress. My wife and I slept in two separate pits with little to no comfort and no means of contact minus the struggle to climb out. No recommended for back pain sufferers. Our daughter fared little better on the sleeper sofa and found it to be better slept on as a couch. It’s very noisy at night in Waikiki so opt for the AC and all windows/doors closed for a little quiet. Oh, there’s also a sliding door divider that separates the bed from the other area…. Beware the painful “toe stubber” track on the ground. We all fell victim. The unit was clean and prepared. The garage was nice and easy to navigate and a perk for not having to schill out $50 a day for hotel parking.

This was our first time to Hawaii and this property was a perferct location. Even though we rented a car during our entire stay - used to visit North Shore, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head and mutliple eating locations, this property was located within 5 minutes to the beach, and walking distance to shopping and mulitple eating locations as well. It was a great place to stay. Pearl Harbor was amazing, Diamond Head do the walk at 6 a.m. well worth getting up early! Visit Fete resturant for the best chicken sandwich, Hulua Pie at Dukes! I would stay here again.

The Waikiki Banyan is a short walk to the beach, shopping & dining options. The entire property is well maintained and staff is friendly. Nice small shop for drinks & snacks on site.

Had a great 10 day vacation staying at this beautiful condo. We traveled with our 2 year old, so the pack and play and stroller that were provided were super convenient!! Loved that the condo kitchen was stocked with what we needed, including a rice cooker!! Perfect location, great size and value for what we paid. We also loved the pool and playground. Would definitely stay here again!

We are a family of 4 and we spent the first few days of our vacation in Waikiki. This condo provided all the amenities we needed for our brief stay. It was spacious, clean, had nice views, and was in a good location. The beach gear provided was great to have and the pack and play for our little one was a nice bonus too. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you!

Great location, 1 block from the beach. Easy in and out on the edge of Waikiki - don’t have to mess with the Waikiki traffic. Well appointed including extras like beach chairs, boogie boards, and snorkel equipment. Oh, and free parking too!

Comfortable home base in clean, centrally located building. Easy walking access to beach, shopping, dining of all sorts. Easy access by car to the rest of Oahu's attractions. Unit was well stocked with basic essentials. Would stay again if returning to Waikiki

The best part of this property is the location! 1 block from all the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. My 7 year old daughter and I walked to different restaurants, shops, and of course shaved ice locations throughout our stay. We also walked to the Zoo which was only a few blocks away. The room itself is comfortable and just what we needed. We really only slept there and spent the rest of the time out playing. The building itself had friendly and helpful staff (the security guards going into the parking garage we’re always smiling and had an enthusiastic “Aloha!”). You can tell it’s a bit older than some of the surrounding buildings, and has had its fare share of love and use over the years. The pool area has older “vintage” reclining loungers… with the pvc strips, so it’s nice to put your towel down first so you don’t stick to them. With the slight breeze, I think the outside air was cooler than the pool, but I think that’s just the way it is in this climate with the intense sun. (This is the only pool I ever swam in during my multitiple trips to Hawaii so I don’t have a lot of comparison… the ocean is the best way to cool down 😊).
For reference… The building is located next to a health facility including mental health offerings, and there seemed to be a few homeless people there on a regular basis. They didn’t bother us at all, however as a mid 30’s woman on vacation with only her 7 year old daughter, we made sure to be aware of our surrounds and just didn’t go down that street.
Overall we had a lovely experience and again the location is everything!! Happy vacationing and Aloha!!

I truly enjoyed staying here. The condo was clean & spacious. I was grateful for the free parking. Our room overlooked the pool from the living room. We were able to see the ocean from the kitchen side. There were beach necessities such as chairs, boogie boards & an umbrella. We were so happy this was available to bring to the beach. There was an AC unit in the wall plus electrical fans. They were really useful since it can get hot in the rooms. We were able to buy food from the mini mart & coffee shop downstairs. There are other options in the neighborhood as well. This location was perfect! I would definitely stay here again!

99.9 % the experience was great. Had to evaluate the building Thursday night @ 10 pm due to faulty fire detector no fault to you. We think someone tried to smoke in room. Had a great time and thank you for sharing your home with us.

Highly recoemmended, excellent poverall. Great location, we had a rental car for a week (a must if you want to explore the island) and a car space was very helpful. We used Budget direct for the car and upgraded to a jeep Sahara - incredibly convenient for a family, highly recommended.

The condo is very conveniently located near public transportation, the beach, stores, and activities. There was enough space for our family to be comfortable for the week. The view of Dimond Head from the balcony is beautiful. There were bodyboards and snorkel gear that we used at Queens Beach which is a 10 min walk up the road. The pool and playground area on the 6th floor was a hit with the kids too. Very enjoyable. I would recommend this VRBO

This condo was in the perfect location. It’s about a block away from Honolulu Zoo and Waikiki beach. We loved that it was quiet enough at night and when we wanted the night love, we just walked about half a mile for shopping, bars and food. My youngest is 7 and my teenager is 15 and we all enjoyed our stay here. When we were too lazy to walk to the beach, we took advantage of the pool
and jacuzzi. Very family friendly. Lee and Brandi were great host and sent plenty of messages leading up to our stay in case we needed anything. Mahalo! :)

It’s always good to have a private rental experience go smoothly and have the property be at least as nice as posted. That was the case here. Everything worked well - communication, cleanliness, location, parking, checkin, etc. And of course the beach stuff (umbrella, chairs, body boards) was a nice perk! The only non positive comment which is purely an FYI for travelers is this: remember this is still a managed shared property so don’t plan on having cooking things like oils and seasonings provided. We loved that they had salt and pepper but otherwise used what we had brought or bought other items. Again, it wasn’t an expectation, just wanted to pay it forward as a heads up! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

We've previously stayed at the Banyan. Location is excellent close to shops, restaurants, easy walk to to the beach. Originally thought the Ocean View was from the Lanai however was from bedroom and kitchen window. Sufficiently stocked with needed amenities. Condo was clean and tidy. Free Garage Parking is a must if you rent a car. Great communication with Brandie. Ended up staying 2 additional nights for an awesome price. Only negative would be is to replace the bed.
Would definitely rent again in future felt like OHANA.
MAHALO!

I stayed for a week, and the property had everything I needed. Parking was convenient, and the location was away from the beach a couple blocks, exactly where I wanted to be. It was clean and colorful. It was nice having lots of towels as well as the use of beach chairs and other beach amenities. I appreciated Lee's willingness to give me a slightly later check-out too.

Visited Oahu for the first time as a newlywed and can't reccomend this place enough. From the promt email communication to navigating the island, everything was great. If you are renting a car, I highlhy reccomend renting a location (such as this) that comes with a parking pass. Also, having beach chairs, towels and beach gear was so helpful! We did a lot of cooking due to dietary needs and had everything we needed. Highly reccomend staying here.

Really enjoyed our stay here! The location is perfect, just a few streets off the main road so that it's more quiet when you want to rest at night. The unit is also farther from the elevator so you don't hear people coming and going in the early morning. The place was clean and well stocked with items for a beach day. The only thing was that the fold out couch bed was a bit difficult to operate, but we figured it out in the end. The floor does get dusty easily, but I think that's more due to the wind blowing in from the balcony. The unit faces a direction that gets quite the strong breeze during the evening.

We enjoyed this rental because it was such a short walk to the beach. The condo had what we needed so we did not have to spend extra money. It included parking and the kitchen helped us save money not having to eat out at every meal. The pool was enjoyable and very clean. The owners responded very quickly to us while we were there. I would stay again!

Unit was left with a lot of sand on the floor, but we were able to contact the owner and have them clean the floors the very next day.
