Loved everything about the place. Plenty of parking available in the garage, and beautiful mountainside view. Room had almost everything we needed for our 2 week stay. Only complaints are the laundry was kind of expensive for 8/load, and the A/C unit dripped and kept the balcony flooded the whole time.

We stayed for 14 days and enjoy it all. Perfect location, great views of the mountains stunning sunrise every morning. A short walk to the beach and and all the existing stuff around Waikiki
Great location on the south end of Waikiki. We liked that this condo was on the quieter end of Waikiki. Easy walk to Queens and Canoes surf breaks. Nice clean condo with everything you need.

Our second visit in less than a year. We really like this property and this unit. Great sunrise view. Very streamlined decor which made our vacation very restful. Comfy bed. Adequate kitchen (could use an electric tea kettle). Bathroom is fine but perhaps ready for a little refresh. We absolutely will try to stay in this unit again.

Reviewer Comments:
Our stay at this rental was perfect! My family and I usually stay at the Hyatt across the street, but decided to opt for a Vrbo this time around because we wanted a place with a kitchen. We stayed for a total of eight nights, so free parking was just icing on the cake. We decided to use the extra $$ we saved on parking for a fun activity for the kids. I truly do appreciate that added bonus because parking in Waikīkī can be pricey and challenging! Check-in was a breeze. The property manager who helped us was great! He was responsive and answered all our questions right away. The place was clean and well-maintained, the views are beautiful and the condo had everything we needed and more! If this place is available next year, I’ll definitely be booking it again :).

Walking distance to everything in Waikiki and the beach within two blocks. Parking made it easy to have a rental car and reach all sides of the island so was not confined to Waikiki. The unit was beautiful and everything was as described, and as it was in the pictures, the view from the back porch was amazing on the 32nd floor of the mountain range behind.

Aloha! Thanks for leaving such a great review. Happy to have provided all of the needs you required for a wonderful vacation! We hope you can enjoy a return trip to our beautiful islands soon!
Just as advertised. This was our 2nd stay at the Waikiki Banyan (different listing), and it's an easy place to stay. Slightly off strip which is what we love about it. This unit is on the 32nd floor and the views of the mountains are amazing. The sliding glass door did have an issue, but our property manager James was great and accomodating to any and all issues. Definitely recommend this listing and would stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It's centrally located, within walking distance to Waikiki beach and International Market.
It's great to have access to a fully-equipped kitchen for a quick "home-cooked" meal.
There were a couple minor issues with the condo when we checked. The property managers James and Byron responded and took actions promptly, which we really appreciated.

We enjoyed this condo on the canal side of Waikiki it’s a little quieter and the view is nice. It’s very clean and close to everything. The bed and pillows were the most comfortable I have had during my travels and I appreciated that. You always have to give up something when you travel but this condo had everything we needed for a great night sleep. The trade winds blow through in the evening to keep it cool. Another perk is the free parking spot. We made breakfast every morning and walked to get a coffee. Can’t go wrong with this condo.

The condo was wonderful. Spectacular Mountain View for nighttime twinkles. Very nicely appointed condo, no clutter, good space for luggage. That said, the condo could have been cleaner and the freezer door handle was broken. Mgmt company very responsive, but we didn’t want to deal with others coming in to clean/ fix. We’ve stayed at various units at Banyon 5 times. Location is perfect but this is the only unit we would want to come back to.
