This was a relaxing trip for a high school graduate and family. It was relaxing. We had a great time. The only down fall was the pool, hot tub was getting a renovation and not open. Disappointing but the rest of our stay was amazing.

This place really has everything you need for a great stay. It has all the pots, pans, silverware etc. you will need. They also provided beach towels, chairs, and an umbrella. Easy to check in and check out, all done via text. The condo itself looks just like the photos and the view is beautiful. Also, the AC, shower, and ice maker all worked great. I wish my ice maker at home made that much ice. Thank you!
Easy check in to a beautifully presented property, close to beach, restaurants and food trucks.Fully stocked kitchen with a nice little welcome package. Boogie boards, beach chairs and towels all provided.Swimming pool was under renovations which would have been nice to be made aware of prior to our stay but out of owners control. Owner was easily contactable and made the whole process stress free.
Overall great location and view! Nice amenities in the unit for cooking and toiletries you may need or forgot. The whole pool/hot tub floor are under reconstruction so that was a bummer but will be nice when finished. Our Aunt lives in this building so we have rented other units. Will rent here again. Thank you!

Condo was very nice. Clean. Walking distance to several places and beach. Welcoming note from the owner. Access instructions were so easy. Any questions we had were very quickly answered by the contact we had been given. Can’t say enough about the customer service. Exceptional! We’d definitely stay here again.

Hawaii was very relaxing, magical. Our condo was very nice and had everything we could have ever needed. Very clean is a must for us, and that it was. I would highly recommend this place. The card and goodies waiting for us when we walked in the door was very nice, we thank you Aloha!

It is uncommon to find an unobstructed view of the sunrise, Koko Head, Maunalua Bay, Diamond Head and the whitewater of Waikiki from one perfect lanai. The place was immaculate, which we always prioritize. Its ammenities included all the extras. We even used the collapsible rolling cart. Free and secure parking was a thrill to boast about. I was nervous about the payment up front for our six nights, but everything was as smooth as could be and I mean everything. No issues -- and I almost wish to keep this place a secret. I will select this same property on my next visit. I will adjust my plans if it's not available, for when it is available.

Fabulous apartment, stocked with every little thing you would need to make it feel like home. Comfortable beds, plenty of seating if you have visitors, and lots of space to store all your items. Just one thing missing would be a drying rack to put wet towels and swimmers on to dry on the the balcony!
everything was perfect on my first trip to Honolulu. The condo was exactly as the images. It was clean, the beds and the sofa bed were comfortable. The condo was equipped with all the gears we needed for a comfortable 4 nights stay. Kitchen fully loaded with plates, pots, toaster, coffee maker, coffee pods, tea, sugar, salt, pepper, oil. So thankful for the hawaiian treats. Enough pillows, towels and beach towels. So thankful for the beach chairs and umbrella for a one block trip to the wonderful beach. The chair even had a cooler pocket for your drinks. Coin laundry on the floor and we even had laundry soap to use, mini mart on the first floor for your needs : water, juice, sodas, eggs, bread. We had access to the pool, but were not interested in going when you have the wonderful beach so close. We will definitely come back

The unit was okay. Just never received the requested towels. There were not enough for a family of 4 for 5 days. Other than that, u it is small but had mostly everything that was needed. Bathroom was a little small and shower water pressure was low. Elevators at the Banyan take a long time. Overall we had a pleasant stay.
The place was just as beautiful in person as in the pictures. The view is breath taking and the location was perfect for my family. We used the boogie boards and beach chairs frequently as well as the cooler and the play station games. The pool on the 6th floor was also a huge bonus. We’ll definitely be staying here the next time we visit Honolulu!
Fun memorial day weekend in the heart of waikiki. Great condo, easy check in, and easily accessible host.

The condo was very clean and in a great location to walk to a lot of local spots as well as the beach. You have a great view of Diamond Head and the Pacific from the balcony. The condo was a bit tight for four adults, especially with one bathroom, but we didn’t spend much time inside so it did the trick for our needs. The kitchen was wonderful and equipped if there is an interest in cooking. We had a wonderful time on the island!

Had a wonderful stay at the Waikiki Banyan. My family have often stayed at the Banyan because we love the less busy location yet still close to everything in Waikiki. The condo was beautifully furnished, clean, modern and well equipped. The welcome snacks from the owner was a nice touch.

This is our second time staying at this lovely place. We travel to the island twice a year to move our daughter in/out of School. Tried to stay here last time but was already booked. It's very clean, cozy and welcoming. The parking is free which is key for this area. The beach is only a block away with a Starbucks on the corner. Thanks again for the lovely time spent here.
Location was great. Easy access to beaches, dining and shopping. Unit was accurate to online images. Very clean and comfortable. Check in and check out was simple and easy.

Staying here in this rental Condo place was an incredible experience for us. All of us have been many times before and had stayed in different places, which were no comparison to this one. Anything and everything you would need was available for us. We enjoyed the amazing view, hanging out in the roomy suite and then having the bedroom separated was a great idea. Up early every morning and not bothering anyone was great. Not if, but when we do go back to Waikiki we will plan our dates with availability for this specific Condo.
We all had a wonderful time at this condo! Very clean, excellent location, beautiful views and many conveniences provided. We appreciated the fact that we even had three beach chairs to use. The condo provided everything we might need. I would happily stay here again. I do have one small suggestion, the coffee table was heavy and it was quite the task to pull it out of the way every night in order to use the sofa bed. Very small complaint for such a nice place but maybe when it's time to replace it you could think about getting some thing a bit lighter. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Outstanding. Everything worked. the snacks, the beach chairs, the boogeyboard were all nice unexpected touches. Location is great. Clean. Parking is essential and excellent. The windows could use some black out blinds for the bedroom as it gets pretty bright by 7:30.
Very comfortable! Great stay!
LOVED THIS CONDO! Everything we needed!
Overall experience was great, location was ideal. Gratious host . I would absolutely return to the Banyan.
I've never stayed in a vacation rental that was better stocked than this one! It had everything we could possibly need while on vacation. Kitchen had everything, plenty of towels (both beach and bath), phone chargers, umbrellas, beach chairs, yoga mats, the list goes on and on. Super clean and comfortable and in the best location in Waikiki IMHO. The only possible negative is the beds are soft - I was fine, but my husband found it too soft. I'd return to this unit in a heartbeat (I'll just make DH sleep on the floor)!
Clean, well equipped with anything I would need. Great location in Waikiki, easy walk to the beach and restaurants. BREATHTAKING view of diamond head! Free parking was very convenient.
2 of the 4 elevators were broken which resulted in some long waits. But they were working on fixing them
The place was walking distance to beach, shops and restaurants. This condo was renovated so it was modern, kitchen had everything and very clean. Parking was very convenient, just go to the upper floors because it is so tough to park in the crowded bottom floors. We rented a car and explored Oahu beaches. The condo was large enough for 4 people, with large eating counter space. The only inconvenience we had was doing laundry. There is one shared per floor so we had to go through 5 floors looking for an open one. (...wish it didn't rain and wind for 4 out of 7 days though.)

Generally, the two of us enjoyed our stay in this condo: The kitchen was modern and worked fine...view was stunning...lots of extra beach gear...convenient location...and the price reasonable. A few minor complaints: The mattresses are very soft...basically shot. The floor needs to be wet-mopped between guests...the shower walls need to be scrubbed.
The remodel was nicely done & offers all of the amenities you need including recreation, beach gear, & some toiletries. Prior to the remodel, I wonder if there was flood damage or a cat that lived in the apartment because there is a pungent smell that would not dissipate despite keeping all doors & windows open for circulation or spraying air fresheners. It seemed to be coming from the area rug near the couch. There are no blackout curtains meaning anyone sleeping on the pullout is subject to light pollution at night & an early, but beautiful sunrise. Blackout shades would be a great addition.
The air conditioner works fine but only cools the main room. A standing, oscillating fan would be a relief in the bedroom since the air conditioner doesn’t cool the whole unit.
A safety concern for us was that the door does not latch properly & you must manually make sure the door knob turns so that the door will actually shut. This could lead to theft or bodily harm as anyone off of Ohua Street can walk directly to the hotel & hop on the elevators to any floor and find condo door open.
The walls are thin, we could hear neighbors above the unit & next door. The closet is obstructed by one of the beds so there is no where to store luggage.
The location is excellent. It’s easily walkable to the Kuhio Beach & restaurants on Kalakaua Boulevard. The view of Diamond Head from the unit is beautiful. We had a schedule change & we were able extend our reservation thanks to Captain Cook.
