Treehouse in Paradise

My wife and I stayed in the Banyan Bungalow and we could not have been happier. The white cottage style decor was done so well and everything that we needed was there. With the floor to ceiling windows looking out at the banyan tree it truly felt like we were staying in a treehouse. Since it is on the 2nd floor we had total privacy. A short walk to the gorgeous beach.It was the most relaxing and distressing vacation we’ve ever had. Vicki made everything go so easy, she even helped with recommending a florist and she put the tropical flower bouquet in the room for me before we arrived to check in on Valentine’s Day to surprise my wife.

Retirement get away

This is a unique property and is in an excellent location. The host was fantastic and offered a lot of information about the area, where to visit and where to eat. It was a great get away and good disconnect. The access to the beach is easy and it was not busy when we were there during the first week of October.

Great accommodation, great location.

We had a great stay. The bungalow is comfortable, light and airy, well designed and equipped, and within easy walking distance - about 250 feet - of Kailua Beach, which is one of the best beaches around. Vicki, the owner, is very thoughtful and considerate. All together, it's a great place to stay.

Fabulous Place!

The beach bungalow “treehouse” is truly spectacular! It is in a great location and provides the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing vacation! The beach is extremely close and we took advantage of the comfortable beach chairs provided! Look no further if you want to stay in Kailua! You won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful place, great, responsive host, close to beach

This little studio has everything we needed to sleep and relax well as well as make meals. Vickie, the host, goes out of her way to provide anything needed. The beach is easily reached. There is a huge banyan tree that makes it feel like living in a comfy tree house.

Banyan Tree Studio

Location and proximity to beach, town and restaurants was fantastic. I did have to sleep with an eye mask and ear plugs - no blinds or curtains and there are a lot of birds that wake up early in the banyan tree!

Lovely comfortable studio for a relaxing stay

The studio is a beautiful and comfortable space for a couple to spend a week. Vicki provided great tips on local dining options and the kitchenette was well appointed for breakfast and snack preparation. We loved the proximity to the beach and green market for morning coffee :) We appreciated the beach equipment to use during our stay. Thanks for a such a lovely space to relax in

Tree house studio steps from the beach

The studio was as lovely as the photos and description. Vicky was very helpful, we learned new things about Kailua and we have stayed in the area many times. One main highlight for us was the location, practically on the beach! Not that you need much for a beach vacation but a couple shelves in the bathroom would be nice, as there is really no counter space. We would recommend to anyone looking for a very clean efficient studio!

Perfect Location and Very Clean

The bungalow is a great place to clear your mind and have a true vacation. The large Banyan Tree makes you feel as if you are in a tree house. The accommodations were the cleanest of any place that I have rented and to us that is extremely important. Vickie was a great hostess and extremely accommodating.

Banyan Tree

Property was exactly as described. Cool place under the canopy of an incredible banyan tree. Location was amazing. A very short walk (200 ft) to a beautiful beach. Vicki did a fantastic job at providing us some of the local favorite dining places and shopping spots. Was so nice to eat local food rather than some big chain restaurant junk. Enjoyed our stay immensely. Very relaxing and would definitely return.

Perfect Location

My wife and I stayed for 10 days. Vicki was a gracious and easily accessible host. The location is perfect and it really is just steps away from an uncrowded part of Kailua Beach. The bungalow has every amenity we needed, including beach chairs, body surfing boards, towels and umbrellas. If it is not evident from the photos, an incredibly large and beautiful banyan tree overhangs the courtyard, attracting all kinds of birds. We hope to return one day!

If you’ve come across this property in your VRBO search, stop looking, and book this immediately! It is on the absolute best beach in Oahu and the place is absolutely perfect! Everything is just as pictured, the host is exceptional, downtown is within walking distance, fantastic restaurants, it’s absolutely perfect!!!! We fell in love with the banyan tree and setup of this place. We stayed for 10 days and loved every minute of it. It is extremely clean, has all of the essentials, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Amazing getaway treehouse

If you're thinking about booking this spot don't hesitate. It is the stuff romantic getaways are made of. Kailua, on the windward side of the island, is charming and far from the tourist crowds, good restaurants and easy close shopping. We were steps away from what often felt like our own private beach with turquoise waters, powdery soft sand and the sunrises were amazing. On the map this place is two or three houses back from the beach on the access path. Vicki, our host, was so lovely and made our stay incredibly pleasant and clearly loves the area. And the bungalow. I can't say enough. It's comfortable, beautifully decorated and nestled in the most amazing banyan tree. (Other reviews mentioned the large number of noisy birds but bring your ear plugs and aloha spirit! They in no way detracted from our stay.) Overall, a gem.

Incredible treehouse in paradise

My husband and I stayed at the magical banyan treehouse for a week, and easily could have stayed longer. We loved everything about this unique apartment, and Vicki was such a gracious host, sending us multiple spot-on recommendations for local food and things to do, and responding quickly to messages. Waking up to the birdsong in the banyan tree each morning was nothing short of magical. The never crowded beach, on which you can walk for miles, was a short stroll (about 200 steps) down a sandy walkway just outside the bungalow’s private parking area. The bungalow itself was clean, bright, very tastefully decorated, and plenty spacious for us. We never stopped marveling at the breathtaking size and beauty of the banyan tree canopy above us. Kailua itself was very walkable from Vicki’s location with multiple great dining options. I will continue to dream of the restful week we spent there; what a gift! I sincerely hope we are able to return someday. Side note- I assume from listing photos the other units Vicki has here are equally as lovely. If you’re traveling with a group of a few couples, renting all three together would be a fanatic lodging option.10/10!!

Tree House in the Banyon Tree

Quite the find! The beautifully designed house, its proximity to the beach and to the restaurants and stores in Kailua town far exceeded the positive comments in the previous reviews. The welcome of the hostess, and the care that she took to make sure we were comfortable, and familiar with our surroundings was a great experience of aloha! The house had everything we needed: comfortable bed and linen, a well equiped kitchen, and a washer and dryer--plus private outdoor spaces that include a balcony and an outdoor shower. Add to this, the fact that Kailua beach is literally 110 steps from the house (yup we counted it) and we ended up with a stay which was a sweet taste of paradise. Looking forward to our next stay!

Lovely bungalow

Our stay in the banyan beach bungalow was terrific. It was private, well equipped and the bed was quite comfortable. The location is about 100 steps to Kailua Beach. This was such a treat. We regularly used the beach chairs that were provided. The walk to the center of Kailua town is a nice easy walk of about 15 minutes through quiet residential streets and a city park. Vicki was always available to quickly answer questions, she is a great host. We won't hesitate to book here again. Thank you for a lovely stay!
