The apartment is clean, colorful, and nicely designed, and very well equipped with soaps, towels, linens, a dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, and basic kitchen supplies, which was appreciated.
The location is great, though being close to the harbor means there can be some noise at times when ships are docking.
The apartment is on two levels, and the entrance requires climbing two flights of stairs, which may be something to consider.
For a group of five adults or near-adults, the space felt a bit compact.
The complex itself is clean and pleasant, with a very nice pool area, although the pool is not heated.
Each room has air conditioning, which is convenient, but the units are quite noisy, making it difficult to sleep with them on.
Overall, a nice and well-maintained place, with a few points worth noting depending on personal preferences and group size.
Central location to explore the island. Everything we needed was provided. Would stay here again.
Wonderful family vacation, we loved the location… beautiful view, easy beach access, fun to watch the barges come into port, and see the surfers & canoe races. We had a great time playing pickleball everyday and BBQ by the pool. Loved the proximity to Duke’s Hula Pie
Nice accomodations the complex is somewhat busy but people are friendly and quiet. Great views from the deck. Pool was nice after a day of activities. Food and shops within walking distance. Near airport with quick access to other sides of the island. Enjoyed our stay
We really enjoyed this property and it's fantastic location. The only issue we encountered was the provided soaps - there was no dishwasher or laundry pods, and no bar soap, as noted in the listing. The property manager was extremely responsive and immediately moved to fix the issue when we let her know. We would stay here again. :)
This condo was absolutely perfect for my family and I as we explored beautiful Kauai. The location is awesome as it is only a minute drive to the beach and shopping/restaurants. We enjoyed watching the cruise ships come in and out of the harbor. The swimming pool and barbeque grills were really nice to use and very clean. We were very happy with our choice to stay at the Banyan because of its location, especially after traveling north and finding out the traffic can back up in the Kapaa area! We really appreciated not having to wait in traffic when we left the condo to explore the island. The unit was cozy and clean, it had essentials in the unit (dish soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper, etc.) that we really appreciated after a very long flight and didn't want to venture out to find these things. Our favorite part of the condo was the lanai, sitting out there and looking at the mountains, ocean, and stars...absolutely amazing. I would definitely reserve this unit again! We can't wait to come back to Kauai and visit again.
This unit was a super cute older 2 bedroom two story townhouse. It was on the hilltop so we got our steps in each day. Great location to a wonderful beach park, shops and dining. Even had the pool to ourselves for a few half days. Had an amazing stay
Safe, clean, great sunrises
Has everything you’d need. Extra sheets and towels. Close to the beach and you could even see the sunrise from the main room. I’d stay here again in a heart beat.
Place was nice and the guys enjoyed their stay here. I rented this for a remodel we were doing on the island.
We had a great week! The condo had everything we needed to be comfortable. It was clean, and well laid out. Everything was in good working order and all instructions and communication were extremely clear. Great location: walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the beach. So much fun to watch the barges and cruise ship coming and going from the balcony. Centrally located for driving activities as well. Loved it!
We had a great stay for 7 days. We loved being able to sit on the lanai and watch the ships and harbor activity. The condo had everything we could possibility need including quite a few pantry staples and condiments. Very traditional Hawaiian style home, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
This was a great facility, certainly met our needs as a launching off point for activities all over the island. Very close to the airport, Costco, and target. And a nice beach just down the street.
Unit was very clean and well stocked with anything needed to cook a meal. There are NO grab bars in the shower and very low toilets but linens are very clean and good quality. Location is good very high up walking is all uphill or downhill lots of stairs if you take lots of luggage no elevator
This condo is very conveniently located to the airport and the Royal Sonesta Resort where my husband was attending a conference. Overall positive report, but it is true that the local contact was hard to reach. Also, there was loud music and a few fireworks(?) one night till 3 a.m., presumably from the cruise ship in port. Instructions for the Wifi had been changed, but had not been updated in the instructions, so that took us a while to figure out. Overall, we were pleased with our stay.
This rental was more than adequate for our recent visit to Kauai. The living and dining room furniture is new and refrigerator & dishwasher are also new. The air conditioners are due for replacement but the fans in the bedrooms and open windows helped at night instead of listening to a noisy unit.
The pool/bbq area were nice. BBQ’s were busy, so go early. Pool is salt water and small but nice.
The condo is centrally located on Kauai and there is a really nice park and beach across the road. It was nice to have morning coffee on the lanai and watch the ships come into port.
Karen (owner) was great to work with and very informative and prompt to answer our questions.
We stayed here Jan 21-27,2024.
Our location was ideal for my conference close by at the Royal Sonesta, about a ten minute brisk walk. There were many places to eat close by, food trucks and sit down restaurants. We had a car, Costco and Safeway were no more than a ten minute drive. The large cruise boats were coming and going most days, which quite a spectacle. The morning sunrise was the highlight
Very easy to get to from the airport. Nice unit and communication was easy. I would stay here again for sure.
Karen's wonderful place had everything we needed for our trip to the island. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks
Great location and lovely condo!!
Had all amenities you would need. Located near to airport, beaches, restaurants, and shops. Would definitely stay here again.
Pool was great. Close to restaurants.
It exceeds all expectations
It exceeds all expectations
This property in Lihue is in a great location for getting to locations on both the north and south sides of the island. There is a great pool with an awesome view. Two bedrooms and foldout bed in living room meat six sleep with ease. Kitchen is good with plenty of dishes and pots and pans. Could use a rice cooker and slow cooker. Washer and dryer are a plus! Also, there are beach towels, beach chairs, and a boogie board! There are restaurants and shops with walking distance. The property could use some updating, however. The master bedroom is spacious, but tne second bedroom feels dark, because of a lack of lighting, and is quite small and cramped. Old window air conditioning units keep the place cool, but are definitely loud. Still, a great place for larger families for the price! We would stay there again.
