Although we were not in our room much, it was a welcome refuge to be at our VRBO, the Aston Waikiki Banyan, at the end of a long day outing. The amenities in the place was very comfortable and inviting. Air conditioner was efficient and kept us cool in spite of the warm nights. We were only a 6 minute walk to Waikiki and many shops and restaurants as well. Friendly staff and security was adequately provided. I would definitely recommend this place and would happily book again! A+++

We had an amazing stay. The sofa bed could use an upgrade. The area was conveniently located to everything and easy access to highways. The pool was a nice area with friendly security. The view from the room was amazing too. Will definitely be back and will look for space at the Waikiki Banyan. ❤️

Really enjoyed this location and property as a whole. Only challenge was changing from an AMEX to visa which I get but is part of doing business.
However, property was great, communication was great, parking pass was free instead of $35 a night for public which was a bonus. We would love to stay here again.

We would give this a 10 out of 5.!!!Communication was electronic and fit our needs.Easy check in and code. We love the Banyan and have stayed several times. This is the unit we will request in the future. Parking Pass is a must for us and this unit has one. The view was the best. Added bonus: beach toys, snorkel and beach towels. We would love to return as this unit is by the Zoo and a quick walk to the beach and perfect beach for families .

We just spent 3 + weeks in this lovely condo. Clean and comfortable in a great location only 2 blocks from Kūhiō Beach. Nicely function and updated. Everything we need for our long stay. We thought we had a problem with smoke detector and management was quick to respond. It turned out to be something of ours and easily fixed before their handyman arrived.

I cannot say enough good things about this condo. It is clean and has all the amenities we need to enjoy ourselves here. It has the perfect water view of Waikiki beach to watch the surfers in the morning. Also has a view of the pool. The location was the best as it was walking distance to so many things including the beach to Waikiki and shave ice place. My family and I love this place so much. We hope we can stay here again on our next trip back to Oahu.

Overpriced due to additional charges. As others have mentioned, this place is stingy with toiletry supplies - 3 oz (88ml) body wash might be ok for two people for two nights, but 3oz for three people for four nights? This would be like every person washing with 6ml. Property manager wouldn't entertain additional supplies. Note that the advertised nightly rate does not include the ridiculously expensive cleaning charges. The cleaning charges are THREE TIMES the average VRBO cleaning rates. I have stayed in Honolulu before and this place is overpriced - you get better value elsewhere. I won't return here.

The condo was clean and close to the beach. Unfortunately, myhusband fell and injured his hip on our first day. There is a track for the sliding bedroom door that is a tripping hazard. Caution to any older future guest. I emailed the rental company expressing concern and never heard back.

Pics listed are the actual unit with a great view off the balcony. The management company is professional and will help with any questions that you may have.Very clean and well stocked with towels, blankets, pillows etc. Buy your coffee, groceries, etc at nearby Safeway or Foodland grocery stores. Unit comes with a full kitchen with oven/stove, microwave, fridge, coffee maker etc. They even had coffee filters for the coffee maker so all we needed was the ground coffee. My only issue is that the queen/full mattress in the master needs to be replaced as it is indented on the right side. Other than that every other aspect was great.I thought the cleaning fee was excessive at $300 for the unit given that we were there for just 3 nights. It's best for you to rent for a longer period as the cleaning fee would feel like less of a hit on your wallet with the low nightly rate.

Check in process was very easy. The place has a nice view and is conveniently located in the Waikiki area.
The place looked clean. Unfortunately, as soon as we checked in, we did encounter a small cockroach in the kitchen area. We thought it was a one-off cockroach. However, after the first night, we did encounter a few more small cockroaches after. We did some research and saw on another website that someone had encountered cockroaches during their stay in the same building (not necessarily the same unit). It may possibly be a building issue. The property manager was responsive to our concern and offered to send pest control. We did not feel comfortable staying so we decided to look for other places to stay. We ended up having to pay for the 2 nights we stayed and half the cleaning fee and had to take time out of our 1 week vacation in Hawaii to find another place to stay on very short notice. We are disappointed that the property management team did not show compassion with our situation. A bit of a dispiriting experience.

The location is perfect as it's only 1 block from pick-up points for many tours.
We had stay at another accommodation and found the fan that was provided at this unit to be perfect.

Great location if you're looking for easy walking to restaurants and the beach. It was easy to access the freeway for trips to sites around the island. The condo was clean, well equipped and quiet with a nice balcony for morning tea or coffee. The beds were super comfortable. Overall, a good choice.

My family of 4 enjoyed our stay here. The condo had everything we needed, but could use some updating as the beds and bed frames seemed in need of replacing. The location can't be beat - one block from the beach and easy walking to restaurants and shops of Waikiki. One suggestion would be for agency to have a binder in the unit which explains items such as wifi access, how to work the shower, and possibly some suggestions on restaurants, shows, etc. When we arrived we had to call the property manager to ask about wifi and shower. They were easy to connect with, but a binder with that information would have been helpful for our arrival. Overall great stay!

Walking into the unit, we confronted a musty smell. Paint on the inside of the front door was peeling and the bathroom pocket door had mildew growth as the bathroom venting fan was not working properly. Toiletries we skimpy with 3 oz bottles of body wash, shampoo and conditioner. The body wash only lasted a couple of days. Box of bathroom tissue only had three sheets. Wall clock did not work as it appeared to be in need of fresh batteries. Bed mattresses and bedding (sheets/blankets) were of inferior quality. Information regarding WiFi was not provided requiring reach out to the owner. Overall, a marginal experience at best and will not rebook at this location in the future.

First time booking through vrbo and staying at this location. It is exactly as described in the listing. Parking was easy and the location was perfect. A 5 min walk to the beach. Communication with the property manager was easy. The only con was the beds were a little uncomfortable . To be honest , we have been to Hawaii 5 times and this was probably our best stay!

This is a super convenient location in downtown Waikiki (a block away from the beach). We even had a view of the sea from the balcony. The unit had a fully functional kitchen. The beds were not super comfortable, but adequate. The kids also enjoyed the swimming pool and the hot tub. Overall, we were happy with our vacation rental!

Very clean with a nice view and balcony. Could use a few more towels if staying for more than a couple of days or if your party is more than 2 people. Nice to have free parking and 3 beds!
