Had a great stay in unit 1211. Our kids, 11 and 10, were comfortable on the air mattress and couch. The location facing the pool does get some noise if the windows are open, but the breeze and view are delightful.
The pool/hot tub area was very clean. The proximity to the beach, the pool area, picnic area and spacious unit make this a great value, particularly for families. Definitely plan to stay here again

 This was our second stay in 2914 tower 2 and it was even better this time, the extra tv in the bedroom was a real bonus. For the money, it is hard to beat because of the location, clean condition of the condo plus everything you need is provided for you. Jackie is like a friend you have had for many years. Any problem is taken care of immediatley. We would recommend this unit to anyone that wants more than the typical hotel room with a couple of beds, small bar fridge and two chairs, often at almost twice the price of one of Jackie's units.
We love Honolulu and would not think of staying anywhere else but the Banyon and in a unit from Jackie.

| Another outstanding visit. Loved the unit at the Waikiki Banyan: it's clean, the floor plan is ideal and the lanai overlooking Waikiki Beach is awesome! Convenient to everything Waikiki. This is our second year with Jackie and we've already booked 2010. We always look forward to our visit to Ohau and even more so now that we found "a home". Thank you for your Aloha spirit. Mahalo. |

We have just returned home after a month stay in room 3401. Our host Jackie was fantastic and made sure that all aspects of our comfort were catered for. The room was well equiped and luxurious in every way. The beds were comfortable, plenty of fresh linen and quality towels available and fully stocked cupboards.
We also took adavntage of the free parking provided by Jacki which was a huge family saving. The views were stunning and it was wonderful sitting at the pub table with views of Diamond Head the Pacific Ocean and city lights at nightwith a drink each afternoon after fun at the beach. Absolute pleasure in paradise. Thankyou Jackie for everything and for making our trip possible. What a wonderful place to stay. Hope we can come back soon:)!! |

| We just came back from a 10-day vacation and really enjoyed or stay on Jackie’s condo. We were well taken care of starting from booking till we left. We stayed in Unit 3401. It is a beautiful condo with picture perfect view to Diamond Head and the beach. It was very spacious for the 3 of us, well stacked with everything we needed. The location was perfect, only 2 min from the beach, and 1 minute from bus stops. We had a car for the first 4 days, so having a parking lot was a bonus. We will definitely go back in a couple of years. Thanks again Jackie! |

Just came back from a two week stay in Jackie's 3406 after dropping our daughter off at UH Manoa. The place was just what we needed. Clean, comfortable and well stocked. Had a great stay. Very convenient to beach, Waikiki shopping and getting to and from UH. Thanks Jackie and I hope to stay there again on our next trip to Oahu !  |

| We couldn't have been happier with our recent vacation in Waikiki - especially since we stayed at Jackie's condo at Waikiki Banyan. The condo was beautiful, very spacious and clean, nicely decorated, a gorgeous view from every window, and the price was definitely in our range! We were thrilled! Jackie was so friendly and accommodating - a true pleasure to work with. The condo had many extras and fun things to do, 2 televisions (very nice when you have a teenager), stocked kitchen, comfy furniture, paid parking, local information books, etc. I could go on and on with the list of great things! We will definitely go through Jackie and stay at her condo on our next visit to Oahu! Thank you so much! |

Best vacation we've ever had!! Jackie was just wonderul. She was friendly and very helpful, answering all of our questions right away. The condo was beautiful, clean, well stocked, and had lots of room for the 4 of us. It had an amazing view of the ocean and was VERY affordable. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Waikiki, and have already recommended it to our family and friends. If we're ever lucky enough to return to Oahu, we'll definitely contact Jackie again.  |

Just returned from three nights at unit 3401. The price of this condo was much less than most of the Waikiki hotels available and the condo was so comfortable. Great location, just one block from the beach and many restaurants. We had a rented car so having the parking pass was great. Even though we did not utilize the kitchen, it was well stocked with everything one would need to prepare a dinner. Condo looks exactly like the pictures shown on the website. Since I sleep on a water bed at home, I usually have a difficult time sleeping away from home, but not here. The bed was so comfortable I sleep like a baby. The beach towels and snorkel equipment came in very handy. I spent many an evening sitting on the balcony enjoying the sights and sounds of Waikiki. My only complaint was there was only 3 towels for 3 people for 3 nights. But we really enjoyed our time and I would truly recommend this unit to anyone.

Fantastic! Thank you Jackie you are a wonderful host, as soon as we arrived we felt the spirit of Aloha. Unit 2212 had just been remodelled and it was very clean and beautiful. Quality shines through in every aspect of this unit! Everything you need is here for your use, from shampoo, body soaps, lotions, cleaning & Laundry products. Boogey boards, beach chairs, beach towels also. Two flat screen TV's, ipod doc's - great for charging our iphones! When you say fully stocked kitchen you mean it, when you arrive all you need to add are the groceries. The view is awesome, something I will miss!
A short and pleasant stroll to the beautiful beach, so many restaurants within easy walking distance. ABC Stores on every corner. The Banyan Breeze Coffee Shop, is great also! When our 9 nights were up and it was time to go we were sad to leave. When we find ourselved on the shores of Waikiki again I will be calling on you Jackie! Mahalo!! |

Just spent 3 weeks staying in Jackie's condo, unit 2914 tower II at the Waikiki Banyan. Over the past 10 years, I have stayed in several units at the Banyan...Jackie's unit is by far the best unit in the building. From the moment I first contacted Jackie, she was extremely friendly and courteous. She answered all of my questions promptly and was very helpful. I had the please to meet her during my stay, and she is even nicer in person than via email/phone. Unit 2914 is extremely clean and a spacious corner unit, which is nicer than other units at the Banyan because there are more windows and the unit itself is larger. There's an amazing ocean view from all windows in the living room and bedroom. There's nothing better than to wake up in the morning to the view of the ocean while drinking a cup of coffee out on the lanai. There's even a view of diamond head from the window in the kitchen. It has been updated to its modernized harwood laminate flooring to its updated decor and bathroom. The unit is fully equipped from large beach towels, beach chairs, tennis racquets, games, sand toys, etc. The kitchen is fully stocked with extra amenities such as a blender, martini set, tea kettle, tupperware containers, ice packs, rice cooker etc. Having two tvs in the unit was a bonus, as well as the higher end bath towels and bed linens.

I would highly recomend for anyone visiting waikiki to stay in Jackie's condo as it is way better than staying is some small, overpriced hotel room or even any other unit at the waikiki banyan. However, I did have the opportunity to see one of Jackie's other units (#3401 tower I) and I must say that is was beautiful, clean and updated as well. Thus, that would be another one of her units I'd recommend.
I will defiantely be telling all of my friends and colleagues about Jackie's units and will be encouraging other to stay with her. Thanks again Jackie for making your unit truly a "home away from home" I can hardly wait to stay in your unit next year...if not sooner!

A big thank you to Jackie for a place as promised...completely reputable and a nice/clean place. We stayed in unit 2914 for 6 nights...clean and comfortable and the bed nice and firm...Great view from kitchen and bedroom looking east towards diamond head and view out living room/lanai towards the pool/Waikiki beach.
If you're bringing (renting) a car parking is included. You just tell security upon arriving that you are "timeshare"...pass is on back of unit door.
Thanks again! Wonderful time. |

| Just returned from 10 wonderful days in Jackie's unit (No. 2914). Gorgeous view, great location and very clean. Very short walk to the beach and surrounded by many great restaurants. It's the extra things like the parking pass, beach chairs, beach towels, travel guides and even a street directory that are a real bonus. Jackie was a pleasure to deal with, very helpful and always prompt with replies. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends and family. |

The beach toys and chairs were great to have, as was the recreation area for the kids. The location was perfect, and we walked everywhere in Waikiki. We felt completely at home, and Jackie was there every step of the way to help us plan our trip. A totally wonderful experience! Thank you, Jackie! |

We really loved it and we had a great time. The place is beautiful! The view was spectacular and the location was really convenient to everything. Jackie has everything available that you could need from kitchen supplies to beach supplies. Thank you for everything Jackie, we loved our stay! |

Hi I had just spent some time in Jackie's condo and had an absolutely wonderful time.
Jackie was professional in her entire dealings with us...from the original booking to little details like airport directions and beach toys at the condo.
The condo itself was wonderful, nicely decorated and great location. Really appreciated everything and made the housing a wonderful time. |

| As I was looking at several condos, I found Jackie's. I really liked her condo but the price was not exactly in my range. I had let her know this and while she could have said nothing, she said she would help me to find one that was. She took the time to find a nice place at a lessor cost. It was her thoughtfulness & the fact I like her condo that I decided to reserve her condo for my January 2009 stay. I really appreciate her help even when she thought I was going to spend my money else where. |

| Having just spent 8 days in one of Jackie's condos, I would heartily recommend them to anyone. The condo was clean and eveything was just as I expected it would be. Jackie was thoroughly helpful from the time I initially contacted her in early January. Although I know that I asked her a million questions regarding the condo and other things such as local restaurants and such-like, she alway took the time to find the answers to my many queries. I have already recommended Jackies condos to many. |

This was our second time staying at the Banyon and the end unit with the separate kitchen is by far better than the units with a counter and stools. We have booked already for this year and again next and can hardly wait. One of the best deals in Honolulu for the money. |

Light and airy with lots of windows, fantastic views, very well equipped kitchen, comfy king bed, tastefully decorated, and within easy walking distance of the beach and all the best Waikiki locations. Even though we had a rental car, we took the bus to lolani Palace for the experience and it was easy without having to look and pay for a parking place. And Jackie makes it so easy to rent! |

The location is central to most things around Waikiki beach, has a great pool area, is very clean. Our 2 kids {ages 12 & 14} found enough to keep themselves busy with, between the supplies in the condo and the activities nearby. If we are fortunate enough to get back to Oahu, Jackie's unit would be our first choice! |

Everything was exactly as she said it would be. We enjoyed great sunrises and sunsets from the lani. I would recommend this property to family and friends. The next time we travel to Oahu, we'll be staying at Jackie's condo! |

The building is close to everything, with convenient parking, laundry, restaurants and stores right nearby. But, I think the greatest thing here is the value! We'll be back! |

Jackie was a breeze to work with from the start and the condo she provided for our family was wonderful: great kitchen with a view of Diamond Head, cozy bedroom and a sofa bed for our 2 children. I went running around Diamond head every morning and we beached it in the afternoon and found we didn't need our car except to visit friends and family around the island. I loved having a laundry facility readily available too.
It made for a memorable vacation and we'll be back! |
