Our Waikiki Banyan condo is owner occupied part of the year, and we welcome vacationers who will take good care of it. We painted the walls in decorator colors and had an interior designer redo floors, cabinets, and wall decor. Condo has been totally upgraded with new cabinets and tile throughout including tiled bathroom. This Waikiki Banyan condo has a queen sized bed in the bedroom with a comfortable memory foam pad and a newly installed microfiber queen sized pull out sofa bed in the living room. The bedroom is separated from living room by sliding wood doors.
The Waikiki Banyan is a fun resort ONE BLOCK from the warm sands and blue water of the world's most famous beach. Soak up the sun, stroll on ocean board walk to lighthouse at foot of Diamond Head, swim in warm ocean (swimming area protected by sea wall), snorkel across from the Zoo in fish preserve, surf, or just relax on the Waikiki Banyan's comfortable lounge chairs on recreation deck near pool or in shade. Nearby churches. The huge recreation deck on the sixth floor of the Waikiki Banyan offers a large freshwater pool, jet spa, free tennis, sauna & showers, putting green, coin operated electric barbecues, children's playground and take out/snack bar.
Making it exceptional our 29th floor unit is in the second stack from the west end of Tower I and has one of the best ocean views at the Waikiki Banyan, for which hotels would charge a small fortune per night. What's a vacation in Hawaii without panoramic ocean views, watching surfers from your living room, and spectacular sunsets! Each Blue Pacific view is like a unique work of art!
Bus stop one block away from Waikiki Banyan. Ala Muana shopping center is 10 minutes away by bus. You don't need to rent a car. Take Robert's shuttle from airport to Waikiki Banyan ($18 round trip). Mini mart & snack bar in building. Walk to the Food Pantry supermarket at 2370 Kuhio Avenue. Walk to Parkshore Starbucks across from beach. Longer walk to new Safeway at 888 Kapahulu Avenue.
If you want a restful vacation or are into water sports, you want a comfortable, fully equipped unit with a full sized kitchen, AND you want ocean views, our custom condo is ideal for you. Aloha.

Hi Michael,
Just a quick note to let you know we had a fabulous stay at your apartment at the Banyan. It had great views and location convenient to everything especially the beach. So thank you.

Michael,
My wife and I had a wonderful 30 day stay in your Waikiki Banyan condo.The views were magnificent both day and night, and the location could not have been better.
We had no need for a car,with so many eateries,shopping,
the beach, and a beautiful park within easy walking distance. The bus stop at the corner took care of our travel needs.
We have visited five of the Hawaiian Islands and we enjoyed this location the most by far.

Hi Michael,
We had a very pleasant stay at your 29th floor condo. Nice view of the ocean and mountain. It is comfortable and close to everything plus a free parking space! We have been going to Hawaii almost every year since 1982 staying at different hotels and condos and we find your unit at the Banyan has the best value around. We will definitely stay there again when we visit Oahu.
Mahalo,

Map & Owner's Profile
Spectacular 29th Floor Deluxe Ocean Views Free Pkg Wifi $110+
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Waikiki Banyan
We bought this unit for the view. In 1962, as a ten year old, I stayed at the Princess Kaluani Hotel on the 12th floor (I believe) and was astounded at the incredible ocean view from the hotel room. Nearly half a century later, we bought this unit because of its incredible 29th floor ocean views as well as its views of the mountains, canal and golf course. My wife is from Calgary, Canada. We've lived in Colorado. We like the fact that the unit faces northwest, so there is no morning sun waking us up and this condo does not get the hot southern sun during the day. On most afternoons and early evenings the Trade Winds blow, so we don't have to use the air conditioner.
We bought a unit at the Waikiki Banyan because it is only one block to the beach and two blocks to a huge park, Kapiolani Park, in southern Waikiki (close to open green space). We enjoy snorkeling and there is a large fish preserve across the street from the park with a beautiful reef and all types of tropical fish. The Banyan is a resort property with incredible amenities.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
I just spent a week in our condo last week. The recent upgrading of the condo has made it much more comfortable and attractive. The tiled bathroom, shower, kitchen, and living room give it a spacious, clean feel. By removing the kitchen counter, the condo has become much more spacious.
Every morning I took a 35 minute walk to the Lighthouse at the point on Diamond Head. The walk is along the ocean boardwalk, the Gold Coast, a quaint residential neighborhood, and up Diamond Head, bordering a scenic road. The view is spectacular. You can see great beaches with surfers below you. There are pathways down to the beautiful beaches. Every afternoon I went snorkeling either in the fish preserve by the zoo and the park or on the reef to the north of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. It is an incredible, relaxing experience. The great advantage of the Waikiki Banyan is that it is two blocks from a huge undeveloped lush green park area.
Owner's Map of Waikiki Banyan
I have an MBA from UCLA in international finance and for three years was employed by Credit Suisse, Los Angeles. Subsequently, I was employed by Twentieth Century Fox Film Studios as Assistant to the Controller. I've been in all facets of the real estate business thirty years. I've been married for 25 years and have two college age sons. My wife is from Calgary, Canada, and is a registered nurse and works in cardiac rehab. She also has a Master's in Health Education from Loma Linda University. I particularly enjoy snorkeling and swimming, which I do daily. I don't particularly like driving when on vacation, so the Waikiki Banyan, being one block from the beach, and two blocks from great snorkeling with restaurants and shopping everywhere is ideal.

Waikiki Banyan Condo on 29th Floor of Tower 1. This unit was everything we expected and more. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. The floor was nice tile and everything was decorated nicely to fit the Hawaiian style. We had a lot of room and never felt cramped but there was only 2 of us. This unit would work well for larger groups as well. The floor to ceiling windows make the view that much better. The view allows you to watch the surfers in the ocean first thing in the morning with your coffee and watch the beautiful skyline over the canal as well. We have already recommended this condo to our parents and a couple of friends ... as long as they don't book it when we want to go. We will definitely rent this condo again for our next trip. Michael and Camille were great to work with and always very helpful. Mahalo and Happy New Year!

Hi Michael, Thank you for the use of your wonderful condo. Our vacation was second to none. The new kitchen is beautiful and makes the living space bigger, and more functional. The free wifi was a godsend for communicating with family at home. The lanai was wonderful for coffee and lunches and beach watching. The sunsets were spectacular as were the rainbows. The condo was exceptionally clean and functional. The bed was comfortable and there was an abundance of towels. Having the laundry room so close was a blessing for our extended stay. The location was fantastic, as we loved to walk and explore our surroundings. We did rent a car & were pleased with the security & parking availability. The area was noticeably clean & safe, we walked around at night not concerned about safety. Ammenities such as stores, transportation, restaurants, and tours very close and the condo is known by all tour companies, so no confusion getting picked up. Used the pool area a few times and it was clean and fun. The little store was very handy for a couple of the things we forgot,and to grab a bottle of water or the like when you are heading out for the day. Mahalo again, Michael we enjoyed ourselves to the max, and hopefully to return soon...Bobbie & Brian

Thanks to Michael, for making his lovely condo available for holiday rental. We recently returned from a relaxing week on the 29th floor of the Banyan. The condo is clean, comfortable and has everything provided for a great holiday. We loved sitting on the balcony/lanai for meals. Location was convenient and only a few minutes walk to the beach, shops and buses. Highly recommended. We'll be back!

Janka and I stayed in the condo last October for more than two weeks - and we loved that condo, our cosy home for our holiday in Hawaii. We appreciated that everything is so close to just everything. We had a warm welcome and very good instructions for the condo (thanks Jayne). The unit really gives you a good base for all the walk outs and we could have a good sleep there, too. Everything was very clean and in a good maintenance. And the view from the condo is way too cool. Just fantastic. We often cooked in the kitchen, everything was there what a cook makes happy. Jayne's care and all the support we had from Michael and from his team were just great. Thank you very much. We did not love to leave and we strongly recommend this condo. Mahalo :-)

The review title says it all. My wife, our three-year old, and I had a great time. We just got back from 2.5 weeks in the condo. The condo is close to so many things: one block to the beach, two blocks to the zoo, easy walking distance to all kinds of all of shopping (including grocery), restaurants, entertainment, and our favorite, a Yogurtland was nearby. The unit includes parking so if you rent a car, the entire island of Oahu is easily accessible. Enough about location. The unit itself is wonderful with a great view of the ocean and the mountains. There are two TVs, a DVD player, and wired/wireless internet connection. We are iJunkies with two iPhones, an iPad, and laptops so this was important to us. The kitchen has all the utensils and ammenities you need. The building has a very nice pool, a snack bar by the pool, a coffee shop, and a quick-stop shop for those odd-items you forgot to buy. There is even an assortment of beach gear in the unit. The unit itself was very clean and well-maintained. I also found Michael to be very responsive to any questions we had. I strongly recommend the unit. We hated to leave, we definitely would do it again, and we are recommending it to our friends.

I stayed in this lovely condo for 2 weeks in Dec 2010 and I'm planning to book it for next year. The location was excellent and the view was fantastic: I did not have to give up the ocean for the mountains, I had both! Most importantly, the condo itself was very clean. I got there at night after more than 20 hours of traveling and as soon as I came in, I knew right away that I was in a safe and clean place where I could immediately crash into bed! I strongly recommend this place.

Enjoyed everything about condo. New Year's fireworks from boats and on water, visible from the 29th floor unit and Michael's 35th floor unit, were awesome. Found condo clean with enough towels and beach equipment. Queen bed in bedroom was comfortable.

Location is great, only one block from the beach. The condo wasn't very clean, towels and dishclothes smelled bad.
Owner response:We appreciate guest's comments and have drawn them to our housekeeper's attention. If this occurs again, please don't hesitate to contact us immediately, so we can make your stay fully satisfactory and pleasant. In this case, during guest's stay, we were not made aware of any of guest's concerns. Our cleaning person lives two blocks from the Banyan and could have easily come and promptly addressed any cleaning issues. Our phone numbers are posted on inside entry door of unit. Approximately two-three weeks after guest's departure, guest approached us via e-mail to book condo again for same period later this year, so we were surprised to read this review posted three weeks after guest's inquiry to book again.
