This rental is exactly as you read and see in the VRBO blurb. Location is everything; close to the beach close to a food market; close to the zoo and aquarium; close to bus transportation; many restaurants and food joints in the area. However the toilet and shower/ bathtub area is extremely tiny. There are no plastic containers for left overs; no condiments are provided...so you will have to buy everything..

Very uptight and rude building management and stingy host. We were not allowed to drink sparkling WATER by the pool in the very old, beat-up janky pool loungers according to the Clipboard Cops. Meanwhile look across to other rooftop pools and you’ll see people enjoying themselves. Other elevator has been broken for 4 months so expect to wait…a lot. You are given one beach towel to use for your entire stay. Limited bath towels. No dishwasher but a tiny bottle of soap for all your dishes. $6 to wash clothes. $3 to grill a burger. Ugh. False alarm building evacuation in the night was a surprise. Old TV doesn’t even stream. The blinds suck and don’t block the light. Bring earplugs and an eye mask for the blinking green flash of light every 90 secs. Or just stay at a hotel. I would never stay in this building ever again.

We enjoyed a needed family vacation in beautiful Hawaii. This was our first time to the island and our accomodations did not dissappoint. Great Times and Great Memories!

We had a good time till our last day! The location is good and had some water view. The property is exactly as pictured! Elevator is fast so no long waits! Parking can be difficult but always found a place to park! Walking distance to beach and shopping!
On our was back in on the night before we departed our lock malfunctioned and we could not enter the property! We called the number to contact management and there was no answer but we left a message! We called the emergency number…no answer! I went down and talked to security! They called all the numbers they had with no answer! At some point while I was downstairs my husband also called the numbers another visitor had for the same property management. And no answer! We finally received a call back after a half hour! They were not able to fix the lock at that time but were able to get us in! We were told that we would not be able to get back in ourselves till the lock was fixed but assured us that if we wanted to go out they could get us back in! We did not feel assured of an answered phone call after our experience so one of us never left the room! This made our last night (and morning) captive to the room!

From the start, parking was easy, friendly attendant. The door lock worked well. Condo was clean and well stocked. Included 2 nice beach chairs and small beach cooler. Decent view of the beach. No issues with anything. We had a great stay!

The condo looks just like pictured on line. It was clean, kitchen was stocked with enough pots and pans, starter kit with laundry and dish detergent, reliable wifi and even a inflatable mattress. I had already brought one when I noticed in the closet - my boys do not like to share a bed. Bed was clean and comfortable, pillows were ok, standard hotel pillows . Location was perfect, close to the beach and all the shops and restaurants but still in a low key corner. You'll find many restaurant choices in the area. We explored some of the local choices by focusing on off of main avenue. Rent a car if possible, we went to Walmart and grabbed some essentials for breakfast and lunches plus snacks, it will save you a few $$$.
We are very happy with our stay and would definitely book again in the future.

Room was clean and bed comfortable. Beach is close enough to walk to but far enough away that we couldn't hear the waves (I love the sound of waves but it keeps my daughter up). Very easy check in. Parking garage wasn't great when busy but nothing to give a bad review about. I would definitely stay here again. Management responded quickly to any questions.

Amazing view with everything we needed to enjoy our first time in Hawaii! The beach chairs they provided really came in handy. Loved that it was so close to all the amenities and that parking was included. Check in and out was super easy and we appreciated them checking in to make sure everything was satisfactory. Would definitely recommend!

Clean and comfortable condo with a beautiful view. It was nice and quiet. You couldn’t hear much of street traffic or sirens.
I needed help the first day and the property manager was quick to respond. Parking was easy and very convenient. Enjoyed the pool. I would definitely stay again. I loved the condo. It had all the amenities you would need. It’s exactly as pictured. The instructions were very helpful and check in and check out was a breeze. Great stay!

We liked everything about the property, it had all the comforts we needed. Midway was very informative and pleasing to deal with. We had one issue and they took care of it right away. They even brought us chocolates for our inconvenience. I would book with them again in the future.

If you're looking for the perfect location, price and ease of stay this is the place to be! Location was two blocks from the beach and great food locations! The accomodations were perfect. A perfect size for two adults and two kids. The kitchen was super convenient for quick meals along with access to parking AND the pool! Checking in was super easy and any questions you had property management was super responsive! If you're looking for a great location and price I would recommend staying here!

This unit is conveniently located in the heart of Waikiki walking distance to the beach and zoo. Makes it so easy to enjoy Waikiki.
This is a clean and user friendly unit. The bathroom is very clean and well stocked with essentials. Bed is comfortable, no lumps and not too soft.
I found the kitchen to be stocked with enough essentials to help you make it thru a few days till you get groceries. I appreciated the fact that there was a roll of Saran Wrap, a roll of paper towels and coffee filters left for us. Thank you!
The property management company responded quick when I had a minor clogged sink. It was fixed the same day.
We didn't have much of an ocean view but what we did have was beautiful. Most days were beautiful and sunny so its hard to say anything negative about this unit.. I would love to stay here again and recommend it to others.

This was a last minute booking, since our last unit had a water pipe renovation during the time we would have stayed there so we ended up canceling that. This unit turn out to be good unit, it had a vie of the ocean, except for a few buildings. It’s convenient, close to everything and the beach is walking distance, and the free parking is a plus, it would have been $30/24 hours at the same garage offered with this unit. Overall, it was a nice stay for us.

This was our third time staying at the Banyon, but the first at this particular unit. I do believe we have found our go to selection. The unit was exactly as described both in its amenities and its location. Hoping to rebook soon.

We stayed at the Waikiki Banyan for 11 days. The condo was extremely clean, and well stocked with kitchen appliances, pots pans, dishes etc. The condo comes with bath towels, face cloths, hand towels and beach towels. The condo also comes with a cooler and beach chairs. The king size bed was so comfortable and the linens were nice and soft.
The view is fantastic as is the proximity to Waikiki Beach, shopping and restaurants. The condo also comes with free parking included which was a huge plus for us.
Communication with the property manager was easy and fast. Check in and checkout were extremely easy. There is also a binder in the condo with lots of information about local restaurants, urgent care, shopping, check in and checkout procedures.
I would highly recommend this condo to anyone staying in Waikiki.

My husband and I chose this place to stay because parking is very limited and there’s no fee for parking which was great. Overall the place was a nice stay, although a little outdated. The only thing I would say is the lamp on my side of the bed was not working so it made the room a bit dark. Also we stayed during the week of their fire drill which woke us up every morning which was irritating because we were already jetlagged from our trip. Other than that great stay! Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Waikiki banyan! The place was clean, spacious, and stocked with kitchen needs. They even went the extra mile by providing beach chairs and a cooler. We will definitely be back!!

Great value for what it is.
Pros:
-4 minute walk to Waikiki beach
-Better views than pictures portray
-STOCKED unit. Kitchen has EVERYTHING and there is also beach gear available
-really nice kitchen updates
-unit itself is spacious and nice
-Free Parking!
Cons:
-Property is really dated looking
-pool/amenities look like they haven’t been updated in 30+ years
-hard to get help if needed. Front desk would barely speak to us and property management takes a while to respond
-Parking garage is a mess
Overall, this place is a really great value but it seems like the things outside of the unit itself are lacking. Waikiki Banyon building and property mgmt company. For the price it’s probably worth it. TY!

The property itself is very nice. The problem lay in us attempting to reschedule our trip after seeing Governor Ige pleading with tourists to stay away because of the "crisis" (his words, not mine) Covid was causing, particularly with rising case numbers and the impact on health care facilities. Midway Realty flat out refused to accommodate our request because it was within 30 days of arrival. There was no flexibility in their "policy", though even our airline amended theirs to provide vouchers for future use, and we received refunds for our pre-booked and paid-for pre-flight Covid tests. This inflexibility in Midway's policy resulted in, by us choosing to abide by the Governor's plea (not mandatory, but certainly reasonable under the circumstances at the time), losing thousands of dollars for our pre-paid accommodation. They would not allow us to re-book for next year as requested, only offering to refund the cleaning fee. We didn't cancel our reservation because we didn't think it would be appropriate if they chose to re-rent the suite, but we decided not to travel for the reason stated above. Although wee are frequent travelers to Honolulu we will not rent any Midway- managed VRBO accommodation in the future.

PROS: Very convenient to beach and food trucks. Comfortable bed, AC works well, cost (with all the add-on fees) comparable to beach front high rises w/o the traffic hassles. Quiet neighbors. Free parking definite plus.
CONS: moldy tub corners, tub coating coming off beneath dripping tub spout (have photos, cant see a way to upload). No dishwasher or garbage disposal. Kitchen sink drain piping loose and will overflow into cabinet vs sink backup. Single pane windows conduct louder street noise (think occasional evening loud motorcycles, car horns) and really warms up room on hot afternoons as afternoon sun hits windows (but AC does keep up). A supply of dish towels and hot pads would be nice vs roll pf paper towels.

We really enjoyed this property. Spacious, well taken care of, plenty of extras in the kitchen. Comfy cal king bed with an easy pull out sofa. I would certainly stay here again. I had a few questions for the property manager who was quick to respond and helpful. Thank you!

I stayed here for my quarantine and then some upon arriving in Oahu. The apartment was easy to get into, had beautiful views to keep me occupied from the lanai. IT was easy to order groceries and it had all the appliances I needed to make meals. I would highly recommend it!
