Great location! Easy to get to places on the Big Island. The view of the sunsets from the lanai are awesome!
This was a wonderful place with a huge lanai with a great view right on the water. We watched surfers and the sunset. The furniture was up-to-date and comfortable and the AC was excellent. I would recommend this place to everyone.
Everything went perfectly. Check in, stay, and check out went smoothly. We enjoyed it and would definitely stay here in the future. Thank you!
We spent the majority of our time on the balcony enjoying the sunsets in the evenings and the early morning surfers with the sunrise. It was prettier than anticipated. The rooms were well a/c'd and comfortable. The parking was perfect. The instructions were easy to follow for beginning and ending our stay. The kitchen was well-stocked with coffee maker, blender, toaster etc. The use of a washer and dryer was definitely a plus.We would love to come back!
Kyle was awesome to work with. Very accommodating. Condo was clean, well furnished, comfy beds, kitchen well stocked. Great lanai, view and access to beach. We had a wonderful stay!
We had a lovely time exploring the Big Island while staying at Kyle’s condo. It came well equipped with everything we needed, and we had many meals from the lanai watching the ocean or the sunset. We would definitely stay again!

We lucked out finding this property for our family vacation. It was clean, comfortable, well appointed, and had everything a family of two kids and two parents needed. Parking was extremely easy and included in with the property as was the pool and hot tub. The views from the balcony were amazing. I cannot recommend this location enough. We’ll be back.
Can’t say enough good things about our stay. Property is super clean with fantastic dream views of the ocean. Heart of Kona close to Magic Sands and downtown strip. Checkin was smooth and easy. No need to look anywhere else for us. We will be back!
Location! Location! Location! Right on the ocean! Well stocked most of what you’ll need including beach towels, kitchen utensils, plates, beach chairs, pots, pans, swim fins, etc. Comfortable furniture. Gorgeous sunsets every night. We spent two very happy weeks here and hated to leave. It’s about a 15 minute drive to the grocery store which turned out to be very important. It was easier and way cheaper to prepare food rather than eat out.
Condo was easy to find with directions from host, spacious, updated and clean. Smaller complex which made parking easy and amenities available and nearly private. Easy check-in and out. The front door doesn’t have a deadbolt, but entrance to the elevator needs a code and stairs need a key. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Communication was great: very responsive. The place is very nice, comfortable, and generally well stocked. The views are spectacular!
Great property. Very well cared for and very well equipped. Communication with owner was very good - he was super responsive both before and during the stay. Check in was smooth and easy. Unit was spotless on arrival and is exactly as described - with a great lanai right on the water. Furniture and beds were all comfortable. We really enjoyed watching the surfers and sunsets. The building is small and well maintained. Everyone was quiet and friendly. The pool was never busy and great to sit out beside the ocean or for a quick swim. The location is perfect for exploring the island - short drive to many different activities and in to town for restaurants at night. Overall we highly recommend this unit and Kyle. Thankyou!
We had a wonderful time here. We had everything we needed. Great location, GORGEOUS view.
This was an am amazing anniversary vacation made better by the stay at this property. The view exceptional. The table and chairs out on the balcony made it a great place for coffee in the morning or watching the sun set over the ocean. We were able to either open the windows to enjoy the ocean breeze or utilize the air conditioning and still be able to hear the waves against the rocks. The kitchen was the most stocked kitchen of any property we have stayed at. By stocked I am referring to both pantry, cookware, and dishes. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean and well stocked. There were extras included for activities like Beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach towels, and coolers that came in so handy. The property as a whole was quite and peaceful,. We didn't run into a lot of people when we came and went. The designated parking spot made it exceptionally easy and worry free. I would highly recommend this property to any couple or family coming to visit this amazing island.
This place was perfect for our vacation. We could sit on the big lanai and watch the waves, surfers, and sunsets, or cool down inside in air conditioned bliss. There was lots of beach gear, including snorkel gear for everyone. Kyle was very responsive and made sure everything went well. Highly recommended!
Great property in a perfect location. Great owner. You can tell he's taken the time to really make sure the property is in optimal condition and there are lots of surprises including how well the kitchen is stocked for cooking. Sunsets are beautiful. Beds are comfy. Highly recommend.

My wife and I booked 2 nights as a mini-anniversary get away from our larger family vacation spent at a large timeshare complex.
I really wish the main part of our stay had been at this rental instead.
We loved watching the waves hit the rocks, watching surfers in the am. The filtered water pitcher in the fridge was a welcome surprise after a hot day.
The Air conditioners worked fabulously-which I appreciated.
The downside to the air conditioners was that when they were on, they vent to the lanai so it makes it pretty warm. We tried to deflect it with some chairs to make it manageable, which it mostly did.
Still, the views from the lanai were incredible, I loved the wooded lot next door and the bird and animal sounds it allowed.
The unit was very quiet, I really didn't hear any neighbors until I was on the lanai in the morning and someone else was as well.
We would love to stay here again! Thank you!
Very impressed with this place! Stayed for a week with spouse & 2 young adult sons. The space was perfect for us. We loved the small complex-it was quiet and peaceful and we hardly saw other guests/residents. The condo was nicely equipped and we were very comfortable. This location was also great. We saw nearly every part of the island and this location was central to almost everything. Highly recommend!!
We loved our stay at Banyan Tree. The views from the balcony/ lanai were spectacular. Swimming in the pool while watching the sunset- fantastic. From a practical perspective- kitchen was very well appointed, with everything we needed. The central location made it easy to get around the island- though a car is a must. Communication and check in was excellent.
The location, view, and cleanliness were all absolutely impeccable. Kyle, the host, was fantastic - incredibly responsive and helpful!
This is one of the coolest places to stay in Hawaii. It is right on the water and has everything you need. If you are thinking about renting Kyle's place, go ahead and book it. Pool? Awesome. Beds? Awesome. Parking? Awesome. Lanai??? Whatever words are better than Awesome. This place rocks!!!
We traveled with our in laws and we spent time going back and forth between two different units in the building (this one and another). This condo was beautiful, well appointed, and in a fantastic location. Kyle was responsive and a great host. The AC was a great addition to our stay!
The view was amazing ! It was close to downtown kona and to beaches. Stayed with my family and my kids loved there own room and there were beach toys and chairs and a cooler to use.
Overall the furnishings were nice and a convenient location. Fun to watch the surfers from the Lanai. The manager was responsive when we needed anything.
We liked this property, enjoyed our stay here.
3rd floor 2 bdrm/2 ba end unit condo with lanai overlooking pool, but most importantly a terrific ocean view. Shoreline is lava rock like many locations in Kona. Waves crashing and surfers surfing.
A/C worked well, but we mostly just had the windows open and loved the steady ocean breeze. Handy to have beach towels provided !
Close to Kona and an easy drive from the airport.
Unit was well stocked, it even has containers for leftovers. Location was great and the building is well maintained. We rented a car for excursions, parking spot was convenient. Kyle is great to communicate with and we had no problems what so ever. The view from the lanai couldn't be better! We enjoyed watching the surfers each day and saw lots of whales from the lanai.
Great property and location.
We loved the views and location of the condo. The lanai was huge and easily accommodated our family of 5. We spent most of our time outside, enjoying the breeze off the water and watching for whales. It was very cool to see the surfers on the water each day as well.
The kitchen was well appointed and the air conditioning helped us sleep well at night.
The beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, and other water gear made our trips to the beach much more enjoyable.
Kyle was very responsive when we contacted him about a clogged toilet. Somehow he managed to get a plumber to the condo on a Friday afternoon before a three day weekend. Very impressed!
I would highly recommend this property. When we return to the Big Island, this condo will be our first choice.
