The Waikiki Banyan is one of Waikiki's most popular resort condominiums for vacation rentals, located one block from the beach in the heart

Located on the 31st floor in Tower 2, our 1 bedroom corner unit is the perfect home away from home while vacationing in Waikiki and Honolulu. Enjoy the conveniences of a vacation rental by owner plus all the comforts of home in our completely renovated, 700 sq. ft. fully equipped and comfortably furnished suite. Free parking (maximum vehicle height 6') in our parking garage with 24 hour security and free High Speed fibre optic WiFi (wireless internet) is included with your rental. NOTE: Maximum vehicle height: 6 feet incl. roof racks etc. Our condo is equipped with everything you need including Tommy Bahama beach chairs and beach umbrella, beach towels, snorkel gear, binoculars for the spectacular rainbows we get just off our lanai and anything else you could possibly think of.
PLEASE NOTE: The Waikiki Banyan is a 100% NON SMOKING complex. Smoking of any substance, including vaping or the use of e-cigarettes is NOT permitted in our condo, on the lanai, or anywhere on the Waikiki Banyan property.

Our suite has been completely renovated from top to bottom and newly updated in 2023 with brand new furniture and a new kitchen and bathroom reno in 2024. It has a separate bedroom with a King size bed and new (2021) Memory Foam mattress with windows on three sides to catch the tradewinds and the stunning views. Blackout curtains, a ceiling fan and a new A/C unit ensure a cool, restful sleep.

The newly renovated kitchen has quartz counters, a window looking directly out to Diamond Head and is fully stocked with everything you could need including top mount refrigerator, full size stove/oven, microwave oven (all stainless appliances), rice cooker, Keurig coffee maker, blender, dishes, cookware, etc.

The spacious living room has a double size sofa bed, a love seat and a chair for plenty of seating. A large lanai with table and chairs offers fabulous, completely unobstructed views of the Koolau mountains, Ala Wai canal, golf course, and Diamond Head. The lanai gets the morning sun and the afternoon shade and is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or an afternoon glass of wine. Our nighttime view is spectacular with the lights of the valley reflected in the canal.

Through a louvered door from the bedroom is the large, spacious bathroom which has a vanity area with quartz countertop, lots of storage, plenty of towels and a hair dryer so no need to bring your own. There is a glass door walk-in shower, and a Toto toilet with Washlet.

There is a 50” LED Roku Smart TV in the living room with over 170 channels of full HIgh Definition (HD) cable programming. The Smart TV has all the streaming apps such as Netflix, Prime, Hulu, etc. for you to use with your own streaming accounts, plus HDMI inputs if you’d rather bring your own streaming device. There is also a Bose Bluetooth soundbar connected to the TV for stereo tv sound or for streaming music wirelessly from your own device. The porcelain tile floors keep the unit cool and easy to clean.

A coin-operated laundry room is just steps away, diagonally across the hall from our front door. There is a laundry room on every floor so machines are always available. The laundry machines take quarters or there is an app available to download to pay using your smart phone.

The recreation deck on the 6th floor is perfect for the whole family with a large heated swimming pool, sauna, 2 hot tubs, barbecues, children's playground, basketball and tennis court/pickle ball court (please note the tennis court is currently closed pending renovations) and poolside snack bar. There is also a convenience store and an internet cafe in the lobby area.

*Important note: From April 29th - May 17th the hot tub and pool will be closed for annual maintenance. The recreational deck will remain open.

** We will soon be undergoing a complete renovation of the rec deck, including a new pool, three new hot tubs, new lounge chairs, cabanas and umbrellas, new dining and seating areas, snack bar, landscaping, etc. We do not yet have a firm start date but we anticipate that the rec deck will be closed and construction will begin in late 2024. Watch this space for updates! Please also note that, although our unit is on the opposite side of the building and 31 floors up, there may be noise in some areas of the building during the construction phase.

Also note: Starting April 2024, the Waikiki Banyan is undergoing full replacement of our 8 elevators. This project will last for one year and one elevator from each tower will be out of service at all times during the work. Please expect some delays while waiting for elevators during this time and try to plan elevator rides around peak busy times. There may be also noise during the day while the elevators are being worked on. We thank you for your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience during this time of upgrading our building.

While the Banyan is a child-friendly complex, our suite is located on the opposite side of the recreation facilities (in Tower 2 or Mauka, facing the mountains), providing a peaceful retreat for those who are looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday.

We purchased our condo in 2012 and lovingly renovated it with comfort and relaxation in mind. We have just completely updated again in 2024. This is our home away from home and we look forward to welcoming you with aloha. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Mahalo Nui Loa.

This is a LEGAL short term vacation rental, registered with the City and County of Honolulu and with all applicable taxes remitted.

Awesome stay - Top choice in area!
The communication was super friendly and helpful before the visit. Hosts went above and beyond to be accommodation and to make stay a good one. Apartment had an amazing view and was clean and quiet and had all the amenities that one would need to be comfortable- including blackout blinds and good breeze and air conditioning and WiFi. No dishwasher but Laundry was across the hall and convenient and filtered water in tap was appreciated. The complex was well located near restaurants and a block from the beach and the pool and hot tubs and grill area was fantastic. Parking in the lot was included and spots were available and easy to coordinate at check in. Could not ask for a better location or place to stay or better hosts! Would return here everytime!!!

A week at Waikiki Banyon
The property is ideally situated in the heart of Waikiki and with parking! Views from the unit are great, and with an end unit, could even see diamond head. The unit is well appointed, with a complete and well stocked kitchen and everything else you need. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Cathy

Host profile image
We at part time residents of Hawaii and rent our place during the times we are back in Vancouver, BC Canada. We fell in love with the Waikiki Banyan and all it has to offer. We love the separate bedroom, gorgeous views and full kitchen. We knew we wanted to be on the quiet, cool side of the building, with views of the mountains, canal and Diamond Head. After much searching for the right unit, we bought our condo in January, 2012. We lovingly renovated it from top to bottom and have just recently (2023) renovated and modernized it again. We look forward to welcoming you to our home and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The Waikiki Banyan is one short block from world famous Waikiki Beach. We are a short walk to Kapiolani Park and the Honolulu Zoo. There are many shops and boutiques just a short stroll away and there is a bus stop right outside our door, with buses covering the entire island. Great cafes and world class restaurants are all within walking distance. We think it is the best location in all of Hawaii and the amenities are great.

What makes this property unique

Please contact us to inquire about renting this beautiful oasis in Waikiki. To help us in welcoming you into our home, please tell us a bit about yourselves - number of adults (young couple? mature, older couple? on your honeymoon?); any children (remember, our condo is not child-proofed for safety and is therefore not recommended for toddlers or young children) and anything else that will help us to make your stay with us as wonderful as possible. We look forward to welcoming you with Aloha.
