While we will advise of the exact dates each year as soon as they are scheduled, we will not be responsible if this necessary annual maintenance closure falls during your booked stay. The remainder of the rec deck will remain open during this time. Accidents also sometimes happen which necessitate the pool being closed for short periods for cleaning. Again, this is beyond our control and we are not responsible for any emergency closures that may happen from time to time. We apologize for any inconvenience these closures may cause.

Perfect location to have a rental car and walk around waikiki. Unit is incredibly clean and includes everything required for a vacation compared to a hotel room. Instructions are clear and check in/out is super easy. Would stay again!

I was so excited to leave a review the second we got here. I was searching for a place to stay in Hawaii for my honeymoon for MONTHS and I’m so happy I didn’t book somewhere junky just to get it over with. The price was super fair and This location is right in the middle of everything so we could walk just about everywhere. Temperature of the room was good, beautiful view, no bugs, cute decor, our host was ON TOP of the communication anytime we needed help. Also extremely detailed instructions on how to park,” and get to the room. We weren’t bothered by any neighbor, and this room had everything we possibly could’ve needed from flittered water, ice packs, kitchen utilities, to coolers, beach chairs and snorkel gear and that actually meant a lot that she made sure we didn’t have to pay a million more dollars on tiny little things we’d have to buy cause the room had it all. Also there’s a cute little coffee shop and store in the building if we needed anything else. I was skeptical cause I don’t think this place had a ton of reviews when I booked (unless I’m confusing it with somewhere else) but it was worth it and we had a wonderful trip. Thanks for everything and So Sad we’re leaving!!!!

Awesome spot in Waikiki! The building amenities such as free parking, in building laundry, building security, convenience store and coffee shop make Waikiki Banyan perfect. This particular unit was beautiful, had great mountain views, comfy king bed and everything we needed for the beach. The host Cathy was great, had fast communication and very accommodating when our flight was changed. Will stay here again on our next trip!

My husband and I had a wonderful honeymoon here in Waikiki. A big part of it was the service that Cathy provided. From having everything we needed (chairs, sun relief cream, reusable bags, ponchos, etc) in the rental space. It’s also as beautiful the pictures if not (better!). You name it - she had it. The location was awesome, and a major plus was the guaranteed parking. We are already keeping our eye out for our next vacation here! Thank you Cathy for sharing this space. Best first trip to Hawaii for us!

We had a great stay at Cathy's condo. The decor is great, very lovingly done - everything like in the pictures. And there was simply everything you could have needed on site. There was coffee and fresh milk sticks in the fridge - and filtered tap water. We didn't cook anything ourselves, but if you want to do that, the kitchen has all the equipment you could wish for. The communication with Cathy was super friendly and accommodating. There was a small problem with the door lock and she took care of everything immediately so that we had absolutely no restrictions. Should we travel to Oahu again, we will definitely stay here again.

The condo was in the perfect location and was outfitted with anything we could possibly think to need. Clean, organized, and stocked with all necessities. Cathy was extremely responsive and easy to work with. Laundry was accessible and much needed for us! Waikiki Beach was just a 5 minute walk.Would highly recommend stay here! No hesitations and no regrets!

This is a lovely condo, in a great location near multiple restaurants and only a block from a calm water beach, and with a very friendly and helpful host. AND, you can’t beat the view. Grab it if it’s available!

This place has all the amenities you need & more, like coffee pods, full kitchen supplies, beach chairs & towels. Cooking breakfast made it so easy. This place is very clean and well organized. Checking in was also easy & the host responded quickly & communicates very well. Parking is definitely a Plus, especially in Waikiki. We will definitely return here again. Thank you Cathy, we enjoyed our stay here.

This unit was perfect! Everything was perfectly clean and cozy. The host literally has thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The unit it self was very modern with updated kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen has every appliance you could possible need. We enjoyed the location being a few blocks from the ocean, the zoo, or the canal. Free parking included on site with the pass saved us so much money. Our host made sure we were comfortable and stayed in touch with us throughout the entire trip.

We had such a wonderful stay here. The location is perfect and provided a lot of things that came in handy during our trip from beach towels w/mat, toiletries etc. The unit was clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked too with supplies and we felt at home away from home. The view from the balcony was stunning! Cathy also had great communication throughout the whole process to make sure we were okay, which we appreciated very much. Thank you Cathy for everything! We'll definitely be back!

I think we have found our summer home! I can't say enough about the property and the owners. We have been to the islands more times that I can count, the best place and best owners we've ever had. I know we know have lifelong friends as well. Extra bonus for us. There isn't enough room to say everything my wife and I want to say. Not enough stars to rate!

Every detail was taken care of, the location was perfect and very walkable. One of the best rentals I have ever stayed in!
