Lovely, roomy suite with a gorgeous view of Diamond Head. Well stocked kitchen (loved the big island counter) and comfy king bed. The new T. Bahama beach chairs were a great bonus! We communicated with host Mike a few times before and during our stay and he was always prompt and positive. Really enjoyed the pool deck too!

Julia,
Thanks for staying with me at Alohahideaway. Glad you were able to utilize the new beach chairs , the older ones rust out quickly so I replaced them. I too love the big counter as its a great catch all for stuff, or great for cooking and serving up a hot meal. Look us up on your return visit.
Aloha - Mike
We stayed at this property as a base camp to enjoy not only what the Waikiki area had to offer but to explore the rest of the island as well. This was a very nice condo and conveniently located. The owner was great with communication as well. I highly recommend.

Mike was very good to work with. The property was excellent. This is the 3rd year we have stayed at the Waikiki Banyan and this was by far the best unit we stayed in. Everything in the unit worked and unlike prior units the bed was even comfortable. I would highly recommend it.

Great place to stay. We were there for 7 nights setting up my son at Hawaii Pacific University. It is conveniently located and you are within walking distance to the beach, restaurants and stores. Loved the full sized kitchen and island. Spacious and clean. The pool and hot tubs were clean and a great amenity. Owner was attentive and available to answer any questions we had.

About the host
Hosted by Mike Lawnsby
Hello, and Welcome to Aloha Hideaway a place of rest, fun, and excitement
We live in Hawaii for the 'Mana' or Karma that these islands provide. The people, cuisine, culture, flora, natural beauty, hiking, sailing, ocean, and pace all are un-equaled to any other place with the same level of modernization and convenience. Yes some people still think we are a third world country and that we live in grass huts. Although that would simplify life, we have a lot to offer here in Oahu.
After our Hawaiian beach wedding, and Traditional Japanese shrine ceremony, we Soon needed a place to live. We lived 6 months in our first rental purchase (a studio in Fairway Villa). We then upgraded to a one bedroom in the Banyan. We now have four rentals and a home, and hope you decide to come relax in one of our Hideaway's.
Aloha Mike and Naoko Lawnsby
