The description of the condo was totally accurate. The location was great, close to beach, Safeway and bus service. Stephen was helpful and answered our e-mails promptly. All in all it was a pleasant experience. Would recommend this property to friends and family. The restaurants we enjoyed the most were the Town, La Tour and Bubba Gumps. We do a lot of walking so getting to the places was no problem.

We stayed here about a week and had a great time. Its within walking distance to Waikiki beach. The pictures are accurate. Room was clean. Had room to put our stuff, WIFI and the best was the free parking. Could have used a cooler, beach mats, 2 more chairs and a stronger umbrella to take to the beaches though. Great deal for the money spent.

Owners response: Please note that our condo is not advertised to include beach accessories or beach toys. There are occasions where previous guests will leave behind beach accessories that they have purchased during their stay. In this case our guests are welcome to use these items at their discretion. In addition there are dozens of local vendors located on Waikiki Beach who rent beach equipment for very reasonable prices.

Steve, Had a great time in your convenient, well appointed condo. Everything we needed and you advertised met our expectations and more. Beach chairs, boogie board and especially parking pass were pleasant unexpected additions. The addition of beach towels would have made it complete. Thanks for arranging the King Kamehemeha parade and Pan Asian Festival for our visit. The street fair and parade were fabulous. Quieter end of beach near zoo was great as was access to H-1 highway. Would recommend this property to anyone who wants close beach access at affordable price.

What a great condo, just like the pictures, well maintained, great view, We loved that it was close to eveything. Beach, bus service that went to the mall and Sam's, Walmart. The Bus as it is called is only a dollar for seniors showing your medicare card, drivers are so helpful. Restaurants close and very good. The Shack which is a bar at the waikiki trade center which you can take the bus too or walk has $2.00 maui fish tacos on wednesday which are excellent. Loved the pool and the food that you could get from the snack bar that was right by the pool. Great chicken with rice and salad with a sweet chili sauce on it. They also made a excellent fried rice. Stephen was most helpful when we had a maintance problem, which Thomas took care of and was very nice about giving us other info about the area. All we can say is what a great condo and that the Banyan is a great place to see everything in Waikiki or just be lazy on your lanai, or by the pool. We are so glad that we found Stephen's condo on vrbo. Thanks again Stephen for you condo.

Location was fantastic, just a block a half from the beach and a 1/2 block from great pizza at the outdoor restaurant on the way to the beach. Accommodations were clean, well maintained, and just like the photos. Our friends were staying at the Sheraton Princess at more than triple the rates for this condo, and they wanted to spend their time at "our place". Really loved the convenience store and coffee shop in the lobby. Owner is great to deal with and easy to work with. Being Canadian, always looking for landlords who take credit cards as drafts/money orders/etc are not convenient to get and then you have to rely on snail mail. Thanks Stephen.

This condo is centrally located-- close to lots of great food and attractions (zoo and aquarium within walking distance), plus just 2-3 blocks from a very child-friendly part of Waikiki Beach. Kid-friendly, but not quite baby proof (glass coffee table and kitchen table). Great size accommodations for a great price. The owner was very professional and made us feel welcome. Definitely recommend!!

We enjoyed our stay at the condo, the condo was just as shown on the pictures. The condo had a view partial view of the diamond head, access to internet, the amenities were accessible, walking distance to transit, Waikiki beach & shops. The property was well maintained & clean, Stephen was great in responding to emails and phone calls in a timely manner. It was our first time on the island and we enjoyed the beaches, shopping and nightlife in Honolulu. I would definitely come back to this condo and recommend it to friends and family. Thank you!

I throughly enjoyed my stay at your condo. The room was clean and comfortable. I was also happy to discover that your condo had wireless Internet connectivity! Your condo location is great in that it is just a few blocks from Waikiki Beach. It's walking distance to many of the shops, places to eat and even a 24hr Fitness club!

Trip for Moms 80th

This was a great place to stay! It was a great deal especially with the parking pass, and everything looked just like all the photos. It was spacious enough for the three of us and close to everywhere we wanted and needed to go!! Stephen was so informative and helpful in every way, and Bob was there when we needed a new security and parking pass. We went for Moms 80th birthday and we had a blast and even got to spend some time by the pool and walk a block to the beach to watch the 4th of July fireworks!!! Can't wait to do ti again!! Mahalo once again!

HI Steve,
We want to thank you again for helping us make my parent's 60th anniversary trip a great vacation. They had a great time. Your condo was neat, clean, and perfect for them. All of your suggestions for dinning, shopping, and sightseeing were outstanding. The convenient location made it nice for them to be able to walk everywhere......Thanks again!

Hi Stephen,
We just wanted to thank you for the lovely accommodations that we had in your condo. Everything worked out perfectly-after we found the parking pass-the weather, the ocean conditions, the condo with the lovely lanai. Our vacation was super and the wedding went off without a hitch. We learned our way around the island and even got used to the crowds.
Thank you again.
