We stayed at this lovely ocean-view condo for 8 nights in October. The entire experience, from booking through the return of our deposit was nothing less than top-notch. We loved the accomodations and saved ourselves some $$ by making use of the condo's kitchen, and the barbecues on the 6th floor recreation deck. The close proximity to Waikiki Beach and lots of restaurants was great, as was the view from the condo's 22nd floor lanai. The condo was everything we expected and more, and Debbie also provided great instructions and tips for us about the building and surrounding area. We would recommend this condo to anyone travelling to Honolulu. Excellent home away from home, and equally impressive service. Recommend "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "Yogurtland" on nearby Kalakaua Ave (along Waikiki Beach) for good eats, and "The Stupid Factory" for fun shopping when you need a break from the sun :-) ABC stores are everywhere, and stock everything from food to souvenirs (alcohol too).

My teenage and son and I stayed in Debbie's units for 8 nights (Ocean view 7 nights, Mountain View 1 night) and absolutely loved them both. Waking up to the view, the beautiful decor and such a clean unit was wonderful. Everything you need was supplied, so many comforts and extras to make a holiday even better. Dealing with Debbie from start to finish was such a pleasant and positive experience, she seems so genuinely concerned about making visitors have a great stay. There was a store and small restaurant downstairs, we were within walking distance of the beach and many stores and also on the bus route along Kuhio Street. We had an amazing vacation in Waikiki, not only because of the beautiful setting and climate, but because we had such a nice unit to relax in, have a cold drink, watch movies at night and sleep very comfortably. We parasailed, snorkeled, walked up the Diamond Head Trail, went to the zoo and the Dole Plantation (got lost in the maze!) Thank you so very much -- it was everything and more than what we expected.

Excellent Condo in Waikiki

We stayed in the mountain view unit for a week in July 2011. The unit has just undergone a full renovation. The unit has a full kitchen and all applicanes and amenities you could ask for. King bed is clean and comfortable. TV in the bedroom is a bonus. Parking is included which is awesome for Waikiki. Debbie is extremely fast to respond in booking and follow-up questions. Onsite manager for any immediate problems (of which we had none). I appreicated Debbie's follow-up e-mail 2 days after checkout to let me know she processed a refund for the security deposit. You always wonder if you will have to "track someone down". I also really appreciated her asking if there was anything that needed improving. It shows that they care about the satisfaction of the guests. Mahalo.

Home away from home

Overall, our stay in the Rigg's condo was a home away from home. My family and I enjoyed the space and amenities of the condo-very family friendly (as mentioned in the description-easy walk to Kapiolani Park, Waikiki Beach, and Waikiki), enough room for a family with children ages 7-12 years old (our kids enjoyed the room and of course the tv's and there was also DVD's for the children to watch and the POOL!!), the full size kitchen saved us a lot of money (we were able to buy food from local grocery stores and cook our food)! VERY comfortable unit, CLEAN, and there is a washer/dryer that you could use just a door down from the unit. In addition, Debbie's instructions for internet, parking pass, etc. was clear and helpful! Lastly, Waikiki Banyan community was welcoming and showed the aloha spirit! For those of you considering this unit/space, go for it! It is TRULY WORTH it. Mahalo nui loa, the Ohana from Seattle

Excellent...Great for Kids/Adults

This was our first real vacation with our 3yr old. The unit is very nicely/newly renovated. It has 2 nice tvs's the kitchen has everything that you would ever need. The bed is great to sleep on and the bathroom was spacious and clean. All the appliances are brand new along with the pots and pans. Everything is so clean. Such a convenient location. It took us less than a 5 minute walk to get to the famous Waikiki beach. The unit is equipped with beach chairs, boogie boards, beach umbrellas, big beach mat, childrens toys ex beach shovels, rakes and a bucket. Underground parking was free for the stay also free long distance phone calls to home were a nice touch also free wifi for our laptop. Nice balcony to sit and eat breakfast on over looking a golf course/diamond head. A nice touch to the unit was having little travel cooler/ with ice packs so our drinks and childs milk would stay cold when we went out to explore the island. The best part was dealing with the owner Debbie. She responded back to any question in a very timely fashion and was pleasent to talk to. I will be staying in one of Debbie's units the next time i go to Hawaii and have told my friends about the unit aswell for their next trips.

The condo was just right, and was so comfortable to come 'home' to every night. Can't thank you enough for all the 'extras' that you included like the parking permit, and the beach toys, chairs, umbrella! They all made the trip so much easier. We have wonderful memories and hundreds of pictures that we are showing everyone. :)

We had a fantastic time! The accommodation was very good. The last time we stayed in the Banyan, the unit we rented was nowhere near as nice as yours so we were very happy.

This was our second trip to Oahu and my son, husband and I LOVED staying in Debbie's beautiful condo! Debbie was wonderful to book with and made sure we were well taken care of during our stay. I'm a bit of a neat freak and this place was very clean and neat and the decor was really nice! The kitchen was well-stocked with lots of dishes, pots, pans etc. and there were lots of beach toys, beach chairs etc. available to use too. The condo is within close walking distance of lots of fun places to visit (Honolulu Zoo, the International Market and of course Waikiki Beach) and the view from the lanai is lovely especially at sunset! Thank you so much Debbie for sharing your fabulous condo with us!

Owner response:Your comments are greatly appreciated by us. Thank you very very much!

My husband and I stayed in Debbie's beautiful condo for a month from September 27th to October 25th, 2010 and we can't say enough good things about it. Debbie was wonderful to book with, very helpful and concerned that everything be perfect for us. The condo was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The closeness to the beach and restaurants was an added bonus although the kitchen was so well equipped we did alot of our meals in. We would definitely stay here again. My husband says if I "gush" too much about it we won't be able to get it again as it will always be booked ! Thank-you Debbie for providing such excellent service and a fantastic holiday condo.

Owner response:Thank you so much! Would love to rent our unit to you again. Debbie
