Enjoy spectacular views of the Blue Pacific (one block away) from our tastefully decorated 29th & 35th floor units. From our 29th floor unit, the ocean can be seen stretching across the horizon high above the pitched copper steeple of St. Augustine Church. Queen's surf break, Canoe surf break, the beach and palm trees are visible. There are also eastern views of the mountains, golf course, and canal. It is at a northwest angle and benefits from refreshing trade winds blowing from the mountains and golf course to the east.
Our 35th floor unit has a panoramic ocean view of the Gold Coast and over St. Augustine Church. It faces west and all views are Blue Pacific views. Both units do not have the morning sun waking you up.
Our condos are large, comfortable, spotless and private. Breakfast on USABLE LANAI (balcony). Full kitchen including pots, pans, cutlery. All linens/towels provided. Beach towels. Laundry room across hallway two doors down. Phone with free local calls. Alarm clock/radio. Cable TV. ONE FREE SECURED COVERED PARKING SPACE in the Waikiki Banyan parking structure. We installed for your convenience and privacy separate bathroom access from the living room and bedroom in our 29th floor unit. Our 35th floor unit has WIFI (wireless internet)and is decorated in a Hawaiiana motif. Laundry rooms are on same floor. NO PETS OR SMOKING PLEASE.
Our Waikiki Banyan condos are owner occupied part of the year, and we welcome vacationers who will take good care of them. We recently painted the walls with decorator colors and had an interior designer redo floors, cabinets, and wall decor. Each unit has a queen sized bed in the bedroom, a queen sized pull out sofa bed in the living room, and a fouton bed for a child stored in closet. The bedroom is separated from living room by sliding 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, swim in warm ocean, snorkel across from the Zoo in fish preserve (some of the best snorkeling in Hawaii), 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, gas barbecues, children's playground and take out/snack bar.
Making them exceptional, our units have two of the best ocean views at the Waikiki Banyan (at the west end of Tower I and in Tower II facing west), 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!

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,
Jason & Mary (San Francisco area)

Map & Owner's Profile
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 in southern Waikiki. 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 Condominium
I just returned from staying in our condo last week. 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. 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.
