Condo was perfect for our Oahu visit. The views were amazing and its terrific location made the short walks to the beach and abundance of restaurants and shops super convenient. We rented a car to explore the island, so the included garage parking was a major benefit. The full kitchen made it perfect for us to shop at a local grocery store and prepare our own breakfasts and lunches, to include those we took on-the-go using wheeled coolers from the condo. Kitchen had all small appliances, cookware and kitchen essentials desired. Unit's living room space to relax in (other than the bedroom) was perfect, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Important to note condo is in the heart of Waikiki, so street noise and sirens are loud even though it's a high-floor unit. Minor drawbacks: Although no washer/dryer in unit, laundry room was very convenient to access. Would be extremely helpful if rental made detergent available, as we had to buy entire package from store for just two loads. Lastly, since no dishwasher in unit, dish cleanliness dependent on how well prior guests hand-washed dishes during their stay. Understanding this is outside the control of the owners, we had to wash numerous utensils and Snapware prior to using that had not been cleaned well previously. The drawbacks were minor, all in all, and we would definitely stay here again based on the overwhelming positives of the unit.

Our rental had everything we needed for a great trip on O’ahu! Bonuses included convenient parking, A/C for comfort, great beach equipment including a cart, cooler, quality beach chairs, beach umbrella and proximity to many activities. We were able to explore Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, the North Shore (Shark’s Cove and Seven Brothers for lunch), Lanikai and Wa

Great location, the hosts have thought of everything! We stayed for a week, easy to get in and out with free parking, one block from the beach! We had one small snafu when we got there but the hosts were super responsive and very helpful! The view is unbelievable and for this price point, unbeatable. Would highly recommend and would easily stay there again!

Apartment was perfect for our family of 4. Kids were small enough to shared a bed horizontally (otherwise the launcher would have worked). The best part was the kitchen, we used it daily and saved money from eating in....while enjoying the breeze and view. Would definitely go back and use same place again! Niki was very responsive and answered all my questions. We had a blast around the island and coming back to an apartment like this just made it so much better.

The condo was in a fantastic location. There is a food truck alley right by it thar was amazing! Very close to the beach. The thing that we struggled with was the light. The shades do not block light at all. It is a city and the lights at night are still very bright. Also, both doors into the bathroom are frosted glass, so if anyone uses the bathroom during the night, it lights up the entire condo. We were up early every day, and sleep with eye masks, so it wasn't a huge deal for us, but just be mindful of the light during the night.

So glad we booked here! Great neighborhood and close to the beach. We loved all of the amenities including a laundry room next door to our unit to anything you could want for the beach - from beach chairs, beach umbrella, towels, boogie boards, a cooler and even a wagon to haul everything. There's no way we could have brought all of that on the plane. Our host, Niki, was quick to respond to any questions and always very gracious. Mahalo!

This is a beautifully remodeled condo. Blocks away from the beach, food and shopping. Owners were very helpful and responsive. We loved the additional touch of coffee being provided so we could drink it while soaking in the beautiful view. Provided beach supplies were also a nice addition. We would stay here again!

We loved our stay in Waikiki! The condo was perfect for my wife and I. One block from the beach (2 from Duke's statue), short walks to restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, etc., it was perfect. The condo has everything we needed and Niki, the owner ,was incredibly helpful. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!!

This condo was just perfect for my husband and I . The view is beautiful. The condo had everything we needed plus some. We used the beach chairs and the cooler multiple times. So nice that was provided. The street noise can get to be a bit much in the morning so make sure you close your windows at night. Beds were really comfortable. The laundry is right next to the room so that was very convenient. The shower was awesome. We never had to fight for a chair at the pool. We appreciated that the pool was very secure and the guards made sure the rules were followed. If I could make a suggestion, hang a couple of mirrors as the only one is in the bathroom. Also, be prepared to wait for the elevators at peak times. I heard they are getting new elevators so that's very good. I highly recommend this condo. The owners were very nice and extremely responsive.We had a blast and when we come back we will be staying here. Thanks Michelle and Dewayne

We celebrated a big 0 birthday. The last of the trio. Stayed at the Banyan all 3 times but this place is the standout! Everything you could ever want is supplied except for a dishwasher. And excellent communication with the host. This IS the place to stay so we will def be back when we hit the 0 birthday rounds again!

The condo was easy to find. It is well appointed with features such as air conditioning, a coffee maker, a hot water pot, and the kitchen is well stocked. There is a walk-in shower and a nice privacy door between the toilet and bathroom sink, and a wonderful view of the ocean, which is only 2 blocks from the beach. We were in a very convenient area for restaurants and shops. We would highly recommend staying here.

Our stay at this condo unit was wonderful. The unit itself is very clean and had every needed amenity. We especially liked the self-filling Brita pitcher in the fridge and the parking! Prior to our stay we received instructions and recommendations on what to bring which was helpful. When we got to the unit, the owners had also provided a binder of places they recommend to eat and hike. All of the ones we tried were excellent!! The location is also a close walk to the beach! Thank you to the hosts for out temporary home away from home.

Stayed a week in this beautiful, updated unit. Very convenient that it includes a parking spot and kitchen. Easy walk to the beach, and there are floaties you can use, stored on the lanai. Some construction happening in the building but it did not affect our stay. A couple issues I mentioned to the host and they communicated back promptly. Smooth, contactless check-in and check-out.
A couple tips: if you’re trying to use the elevators around checkout time (10am) get on an elevator going up first and then just ride it back down. If you like to sleep in and are sensitive to light, bring a sleeping mask. And keep the kitchen cleared and clean of crumbs.
Would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at the condo was exceptional! It lived up to its presentation—clean, conveniently located, and equipped with all necessary amenities. The perfect size for our family of three. Niki was fantastic with communication, and her detailed information booklet was a great help. Although we were too occupied with the surrounding nature to utilize the beach gear provided, we loved that they were available. We highly recommend the Diamond Crater hike and the Makapu’u Point Lighthouse Trail, beautiful! The condo had everything you need, from a great coffee machine to soaps and the daily necessities like paper towels. The parking was a bonus as well! We’re so glad we booked Niki’s place; she was an amazing help and quick to respond to all our queries, even helping us try to locate items left behind. We highly recommend staying here - great hosts, great location, great experience!

We just returned home from an amazing stay in Waikiki! The condo went above and beyond our expectations…check in was seamless, the view was AMAZING, and it was so clean and inviting. The space has everything you could possibly need, including so many spices, salt/pepper, oil, coffee, sugar, etc. It was so nice to have the beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler and a wagon for beach days too! Plus the beds were comfy!! I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone!

Stayed here for first visit to Oahu and was not disappointed. Easy walk to the beach and very accessible to other attractions. Host was an excellent communicator before, during, and after trip. Unit was clean and up to date. Included all possible amenities that we needed. Appliances were even top notch and not rental grade. Nice touch is that the drawers were all labeled so didn’t spend half my trip looking for stuff. Would definitely stay here again.

Once you figure out the parking and head to your room, you are immediately greeting with an amazing view of the ocean! The unit has clearly been remodeled recently, it is very clean and modern. Very bright and airy. Kitchen is fully equipped and balcony holds extra supplies for the beach. Unit is near to the laundry and trash room and we found that very convenient.

Overall, a nice property. The unit has everything one would need, and then some. It is perfect for a couple. We really appreciated the "beach wagon" so we could transport the chairs (provided) and the umbrella (provided), as well as our own small cooler and snorkel gear, to the beach. The beach is a short walk away, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. We decided not to rent a car, and relied on Uber/Lyft, and excursion providers to get us where we wanted to go. Noise level from the street (even on the 22nd floor) was a little surprise, but this a CITY with LOTS of people. You get used to it. The owners are very responsive to communication. We didn't have any problem - so no real reason for constant contact. I would definitely consider staying here again.

Lots of little extra’s included which was awesome ie coffee, sugar, spices, soap. Extremely well equipped rental compared to our one on Maui! Would highly recommend! Never needed to contact the owners as no issues but they contacted us to make sure we were good and check on if we needed anything! Top notch!

We will be back!

I have stayed in many places in Honolulu, both condominiums and luxury hotels. This is the best, most complete value I’ve found yet. This cozy, stylish condo on the 22nd floor is perfect for couples. single travelers and families/groups of four. The location is perfectly situated for shopping at either end of Waikiki and great for walks and runs to the various beach parks off of Diamond Head Rd.
Firstly, it was absolutely SPOTLESS. Secondly, everything is explained , in complete detail, from entry and parking to extensive information regarding the best restaurants and things to do. (P/t resident daughter gave her seal of approval!)
The ease and swiftness of friendly communication is also a big plus, I felt so at ease asking questions and always received a quick answer.
While I was there to just enjoy a few days with my UH student daughter before we headed home for Winter Break there is a wonderful assortment of beach going accessories on the lanai, and the kitchen was extremely well equipped.
I will be certainly staying here again and highly recommend this property.

Everything we needed for the beach including a beach wagon to carry all the beach supplies including chairs, towels, and even floaties! Just a couple blocks to the beach and/or easily accessible parking to get around the island in our rental car. Highly recommend this property - we can't wait to come back!

This was one of the nicest hosts we have had the pleasure of staying at their place, willing to make everything ideal for us with easy communication throughout our stay, great recommendations, and for the first of many times we have stayed in Waikiki, there was not a single thing we wished we had access to! We feel they truly had thought of and it all and then some! Very nice, stunning views of the ocean and beach, clean and appealing accommodations and very comfortable! We loved the location, as for us in particular it was close to our daughter who is settled in a home close by and attending UH! Also close to the beach, many restaurants and places we appreciate to not have to repark the truck once we were settled!
The complex is also really nice and clean with great facilities and parking was well thought out. We really appreciated the accommodations for oversized vehicles while moving our daughter in during the week!
If you are up for the 7 mile trip, the recommended walk/hike to the top of Diamond Head from the Condo was one of our highlights ever on the Island and it was nice to be able to do it without having to once again, move the car! We left early in the AM to beat the heat and stopped at a nice coffee shop on the way back!
Definitely not our last time here and this will be our first choice to stay in the future trips back. We were sad to see it was already booked for our next time out! Beyond grateful to Nikita & Minesh for generously offering their beautiful property!

This condo was perfect for our family of 4 (two teenagers and parents) for our stay on Oahu. The condo is clean, well decorated and had all the amenities we needed. It is an easy walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants.
Sitting on the balcony for a cup of coffee in the morning overlooking the city and the ocean was a treat. Each teenager had their own bed and we were very comfortable. Parking on site was a bonus. Highly recommend this property for a taste of city life in Waikiki.

If you are looking for a condo in the Waikiki area - you have found the best! To start, Minesh is an outstanding host. From the initial inquiry and request to our on-site stay and departure - he was fabulous. The condo is five star! It is in the Waikiki Banyan complex which is conveniently located to everything. Minesh has renovated the condo and it is immaculate, well-equipped with beautiful décor, amenities, furnishings and amazing view of the city, ocean and lights. We loved it. The location is about a block from Waikiki beach where you will find all kinds of fun - the beach, upscale shops, nightlife, both casual and fine dining. It was also convenient to have a parking spot in the garage. I highly recommend a stay at the condo for a true relaxing retreat. We also appreciated Minesh's recommendations on dining and activities. If you are planning a beach day, you're covered as the condo has everything you need: beach towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler, pool floats and beach toys. Everything in the condo is in top condition and you can see the pride in ownership and commitment to a five-star accommodation. Thank you Minesh for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy 8 nights - we loved every minute!

The property was newly remodeled, with a great view of Waikiki. We found some issues with cleanliness and reported it. The owner did find out that his regular housekeeper had NOT cleaned before our stay, and refunded me $100. The property was well stocked. Just missing some small items like a broom, measuring spoons, and we would recommend a full length mirror. But overall it was great!

The host:
If I can give this review a six stars I would that's how much we loved. Host Minesh has been exceptional from pre-booking to throughout out stay. He responded quickly to our questions, made recommendations to sightseeing, hiking, restaurants and local supermarkets even before we left for our trip. During our stay he checked with us several times to see if we were enjoying our time in Waikiki. He is awesome!
The property:
It is the best property we have ever stayed at. It is clean, modern and fully stocked. Trust me when I said it is well stocked! The kitchen has all new appliances and filled with all kinds of seasonings. It also has cooler, beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards. It made it very convenient when going to the beach. Oh, the Waikiki beach is literally one block away. Shops and restaurants are also nearby. We had booked Hilton Waikiki Beach resort and once we saw this property we ended up booking this property and canceling the Hilton Waikiki and I am glad we did.
We really love this place and would definitely come back again.
Thank you, Minesh
