| We love staying at the Waikiki Banyan because of the location close to the beach and the strip and this condo is much nicer than the standard rooms at the hotel. Also, having access to beach chairs was a bonus. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and he was very good in responding to any questions I had and ensuring that I was provided with all the information I needed. We enjoyed our stay in Waikiki and look forward returning in future. |

We enjoyed our stay at the Waikiki Banyon. The
pool and kids playground was nice for our 19
month old. The unit was well equiped and nicely
maintained. Charles and Emily were very polite to
talk to. We wish there was more room to put our
luggage away, but overall a very nice place. We
would stay here agin when we come back. Thanks! |

| My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this Waikiki Banyan Luxury Condo. The suite was well appointed and very comfortable, and the owner's Oahu tips were very helpful. While staying here you are no more than a quick walk to Waikiki Beach, the zoo and the aquarium. And it only takes ten to fifteen minutes by bus to reach Diamond Head or Ala Moana Shopping Centre. It is an ideal location at a reasonable price and we highly recommend it. |

| Charles - Excellent condo located in between the golf course and the beach. Terrific view of the ocean and mountains. I have and will continue to recommend your condo to anyone visiting Hawaii. It was nice meeting you and we will be in touch as soon as we decide to return to Oahu. Take care |

| The condo fit our needs perfectly while in Oahu. One block off the beach, great view of the ocean. The personnel down at the hotel desk were even very friendly. Easy access to public transportation, if you don't have a car, and an easy walk to most everything in Waikiki. Except for a couple of meals out, we actually cooked in the condo and had some nice quiet time as well as the hubbub of Waikiki. Thank you for a nicely designed getaway. |

The owners were great people to deal with as well. Very helpful and good tips. The condo is absolutely amazing. Very clean & modern decor, feels like your own home. The views are spectacular, and the location is great close to the strip, beach & restraunts. I will definitely stay here again.My parents stayed with the hotel and i would gladly give up daily maid service to stay in this condo instead (it was nice to have cleaning supplies supplied as well)
Thank you so much for allowing us to use your condo! 10 out of 10 |

We had a wonderful stay at your condo. It was in the perfect location close to shopping, restaurants and the beach. The views of the sunrise/sunset were beautiful from the lanai. Nice to have both a view of the mountains and the ocean too. We loved the modern decor and found the condo to be spotless. Hope to be back soon for another visit!

| We really enjoyed this condo. What a relief to stay in a place so recently renovated. It was very hip and modern, without all the clutter we often encounter in vacation rentals. Spotlessly clean! The location turned out to be perfect for us (the east end of Waikiki). Friends stayed on the west end of town and we found this location preferable. We felt driving from the east end of Waikiki was more convenient that the west; better access to the H1 and to many of the sites just because the traffic flow was better. There are great views from the 30th floor, and the owners seemed to have thought of everything re: amenities. Our walk to the beach was about 5 minutes. We'd stay here again and recommend it to friends. |

When we arrived at the Banyan condo we were very pleased that it looked better than the pictures! It's a lovely unit and we had a relaxing 13 night stay there.
Having the secure H/S internet access was a real plus for us.
We highly recommend the Banyan condo. |

| My husband and I stayed in unit #3010 Tower 1 May 31-June 2, 2007. The condo was great! It had everything you'd need and more. It has a fully stocked kitchen...all you need is the food! They had beach chairs which could come in very handy since you will be SO close to Waikiki Beach...walking distance for sure. The condo's decor was very nice...nothing cheesy like most. We felt like we were home away from home...not a hotel room. Check out the pics at #73608 on VRBO. The owner was great to work with as well! |

| We had a wonderful stay in Waikiki. The unit was very comfortable and provided for all our needs. The Building is located within a block of the beach, zoo, shopping and very nice restaurants. You may want to bring something for music since there is no radio or stereo. |

Sorry I didn't make it clear in our instruction letter. We have a DVD/CD/MP3 player. It plays through the TV speakers. Instead of playing movies, it will play music cds or mp3 cds and display the names of the songs on the TV screen. Will consider adding another system in the bedroom next time we are in Hawaii. Thanks.

Charles,
Your condo on Waikiki was just right for my wife and me.
The condo indeed is close to everything that we needed. There was a grocery store, public transportation, restaurants, and of course the beach.
Your condo was very clean and adequately equipped for our two week plus stay in Hawaii.
And the price was reasonable.
Thanks again for renting to Barbara amd me.

| My stay at the Banyan Condo was PERFECT! The unit is gorgeous- and view is just breathtaking! The place is well-kept and well-decorated! I've been going to various hotels and condos for the past 6 months, and this unit is definitely the best so far! Will plan to come back- I had fun! Thank you to the Cheng Family. |

| We had a wonderful month long stay. The view of Waikiki beach was great, able to get a surf report from the lanai. Lots of restaurants and activities within walking distance. The condo was very modern, felt like we were staying in an upscale hotel. |

| What a beautiful place! It is luxurious and comfortable at the same time. The location is GREAT! The lanai offers a magnificient view of both the beach and the mountains. A great place to have coffee in the morning or cocktails at sunset. Close enough to walk to everything! This is a real winner!!! |

| Very nicely decorated condo - Great views of the ocean, canal and hillside city. We caught a great sunset over Waikiki from the lanai. Short walk to main drag in Waikiki which has its benefits, however, it is seldom quiet with the lanai door or windows open. |

Homeowner Response:
In Waikiki, there is no quiet location. However, the condo is already located at the "nicer" and quieter end of Waikiki. Definitely the noise level outside would be a lot worst if you are located elsewhere in Waikiki, especially at International Center or anywhere near Ala Mona.

Your condo is in the perfect location. It was so nice being able to walk everywhere, but when we did need our car, it was so easy retreiving it out of the garage. I personally appreciated the modern appeal and how clean you keep it.
Thank you!!

I found the condo on line. It took a leap of faith for me to enter into a contract on line, but Dr. Cheng, the owner, was from the beginning, helpful, direct, honest. The one bedroom was beautifully decorated, comfortable, very clean.
The instructions for using equipment and the name and phone numbers for the houskeeper and her husband who could be called for maintenance or any problem was left clearly marked.
The owner sent an E-mail to check that everything was okay, and phoned the condo as well. I would highly recommend this particular rental to anyone and have kept the E-mail and phone number for family visitors and for visiting clergy to our church.
