Lovely comfy apartment
The rental was exactly as described - comfortable size, light and airy and clean. Modern kitchen (everything worked and nicely stocked) and bathroom. Beautiful view, especially mornings. Owner was very responsive and clearly cares about his place and wants people to have a positive experience. Loved it.

Enjoyable Waikiki Getaway!!!
We loved our stay for 10 nights at the condo. It is very nice, clean, the bed is comfortable, the view is amazing and it’s furnished with everything you need. The parking pass is definitely a plus. The owner, Mike, is very quick to answer any of the questions you may have regarding your stay. We will definitely book it again the next time we come to Hawaii.

Perfection!
Our stay at this one-bedroom condo in Waikiki was exceptional. The apartment was fully stocked and well-appointed, making it feel like a home away from home. The air-conditioning kept us comfortable during our visit, along with 2 fans and beautiful sliding door to a spacious deck (which had beach chairs and all the beach necessities!)The host Mike was outstanding—his communication and hospitality truly enhanced our experience. The community surrounding the condo was exquisite, offering easy access to the beach and local restaurants. We appreciated the cleanliness and thoughtful amenities provided, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Included parking pass was a finacial life saver and there was never an issue getting a spot. Overall, this rental is highly recommended for anyone visiting Waikiki and the island of Oahu!

Location, Location, Location
Mike, the owner, responds quickly and he is very helpful. Pros: 1) Location is everything. Condo is conveniently located to beach, shopping, dining, and entertainment etc. 2) Kitchen is well equipped and thoughtfully laid. It had everything I needed for my stay. 3) I took the public bus, which was easy; the bus stop is less than one block from the condo. 4) Most excursions will pick you up from Waikiki Banyan, which is convenient for sight seeing 5) The kitchen is updated, and cleaning supplies are left so you don't have to buy that. Cons: Upon my arrival, the lock box holding the key fell off right after I accessed it. Not a safe feeling knowing access is not secured. Upon entering the unit, the sliding patio door was left wide open. The patio door does not close. The latch is too short to reach the lock and the latch is flimsy. This condo is on the 36th floor, had it been on a lower floor, I would have an issue with safety. The condo is clean and smelled fresh, but the rug is old, worn and stained. It needs to be replaced. The bathroom sink has very little water pressure. I could not wash my hands or wash the make off my face properly. The Shower has good water pressure (Yeah) The washer/dryer are not in the unit; it is located a short distance from the condo and is coin or app operated. There is one washer and one dryer on each floor. The pool area is nice but again needs updating. This is good Condo, but it is not a luxury condo as advertised in the description.

Don't forget to water the pigeons
This little apartment was fantastic. The view was lovely - I ended up working from the patio quite a bit. The bed was super comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and extra blankets. My partner got a cold so I actually ended up sleeping on the pull-out sofa for a couple of nights, and with the mattress topper that was comfortable too! Due to said cold, we spent most of our time in the apartment =( but at least it was a great apartment to be in. The property manager was super communicative and all the instructions at the beginning made everything crystal clear. Having a free parking spot is such a bonus in Honolulu. There were many restaurants within walking distance, so we never had to drive out for dinner. Really the only thing that wasn't in walking distance was a good grocery store. The air conditioner works great - it creates condensation water rather quickly which the pigeons and other birds love. Honolulu pigeons are much cuter than LA pigeons. Overall if I come back to Honolulu I will look to stay at this place first. I spent the first half of my trip at one of those massive village resort monstrosities for a conference which was awful. This apartment was such a nice reprieve from the chaos of that.

Hello, and Welcome to Aloha Hideaway a place of rest, fun, and excitement

We live in Hawaii for the 'Mana' or Karma that these islands provide. The people, cuisine, culture, flora, natural beauty, hiking, sailing, ocean, and pace all are un-equaled to any other place with the same level of modernization and convenience. Yes some people still think we are a third world country and that we live in grass huts. Although that would simplify life, we have a lot to offer here in Oahu.

After our Hawaiian beach wedding, and Traditional Japanese shrine ceremony, we Soon needed a place to live. We lived 6 months in our first rental purchase (a studio in Fairway Villa). We then upgraded to a one bedroom in the Banyan. We now have four rentals and a home, and hope you decide to come relax in one of our Hideaway's.

Aloha
Mike and Naoko Lawnsby

Why they chose this property

We Love Hawaii, and especially the Waikiki Banyan. Location is awesome (1 Block from the Beach)
Amenities are great for the whole family, especially kids. The spaciousness, layout of the rooms.

When we first viewed this unit, We were simply amazed by the view. It is a 180 degree unobstructed view of the beautiful greenery of the mountains, the golf course and Molokai on a clear day off to the right.

Come see for yourself and you wont be disappointed!
