Excellent Property

Mike was very good to work with. The property was excellent. This is the 3rd year we have stayed at the Waikiki Banyan and this was by far the best unit we stayed in. Everything in the unit worked and unlike prior units the bed was even comfortable. I would highly recommend it.

Love it at Mikes!

It was the best stocked condo we have ever stayed at.Mike was quick to answer. The only issue we had was that the condo seemed a little bit warm overnight with the ac set at 68. The cold air didn’t seem to make it to the bedroom much. We would stay there again, even though I’m afraid of heights, lol. 26th floor. Awesome location to beach and food.

Comfortable high rise condo

The condo had everything we needed. Mike was easy to reach and responsive to questions. Very close to beach . (Great beach, especially if you have kids because breakwater creates a lagoon in places.) Only downside was condo is on 26th floor and elevators were slooow.

Lovely, roomy suite with a gorgeous view of Diamond Head. Well stocked kitchen (loved the big island counter) and comfy king bed. The new T. Bahama beach chairs were a great bonus!

Beautiful Diamond Head View

This property is nicely located just far enough from the noise and traffic, but close enough to easily walk to anything around Waikiki. The view of Diamond Head is outstanding. We even walked to Diamond Head, hiked to the top and back down, walked back and still had the energy to walk to dinner and an evening stroll on the beach. The property was clean, well stocked and communication with Mike was super easy and he was very helpful. We would definitely stay here again!!

About the host

Hosted by Mike Lawnsby

Host profile image
Hello, and Welcome to Aloha Hideaway a place of rest, fun, and excitement

We live in Hawaii for the 'Mana' or Karma that these islands provide. The people, cuisine, culture, flora, natural beauty, hiking, sailing, ocean, and pace all are un-equaled to any other place with the same level of modernization and convenience. Yes some people still think we are a third world country and that we live in grass huts. Although that would simplify life, we have a lot to offer here in Oahu.

After our Hawaiian beach wedding, and Traditional Japanese shrine ceremony, we Soon needed a place to live. We lived 6 months in our first rental purchase (a studio in Fairway Villa). We then upgraded to a one bedroom in the Banyan. We now have four rentals and a home, and hope you decide to come relax in one of our Hideaway's.

Aloha
Mike and Naoko Lawnsby
