Bonnie’s place was even better than described and pictured in the listing: excellent location, outstanding amenities, very clean, and communication was clear and quick throughout the process. The Waikiki Banyan is located only one block away from multiple beaches, great restaurants and bars, and all the shopping you could want is located a short walk down Kalākaua Ave.
The free parking in the Waikiki Banyan garage was easily accessible and made exploring the rest of the island a breeze! The garage could be accessed directly from the elevator, which made unloading groceries, beach equipment, etc. very convenient.
The condo itself was open and spacious with sweeping views of Waikiki, the beach, and nearby mountains. Enjoying views of sunrise and sunset from the lanai was one of the highlights of our trip. Amenities were provided for all imaginable beach-going activities. Beach chairs with shoulder straps were able to be easily carried to and from the nearby beaches or to our rental car for trips to beaches around the island. We were able to use the snorkeling equipment for a trip to Hanauma Bay, which was recommended in Bonnie’s extensive list of helpful suggestions. Coolers, an umbrella, and many other amenities were also very useful.
We spent a lot of time researching AirBnBs and other vacation rental options, and we could not be happier with our decision to stay at this property. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Waikiki.
