Stay was great. Light switches were confusing and there was no way to turn off fan in living area. Unit was clean and conveniently located.
We loved our stay, simple and comfy spot. We had friends staying at the Royal Sonesta, but with a 3 year old and an infant, we didn’t want to stay in the hotel but rather wanted our own space and access to a kitchen. The house is perfect for families of two adults/couples. We had my mom in one room, my husband and I in another with the baby, and the pull out was a great size for our 3yo (would be tough for an adult to sleep there). The only downside was the noise of the A/C units kicking on and off all night and having to restart them after 6 hours - plan ahead with earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Host was incredibly sweet and communicative. Simple, no bells and whistles- fit our needs perfectly. A little more outdated than the pictures seem to depict, but still well maintained though different than expected.
Firstly, I loved the location of the property in Lihue. We stayed for 11 days so we wanted a location that was accessible to the north and south ends of the island. The kitchen and living room had recently been remodeled so that was very a nice plus. Also, they had provided some extras such as suntan lotion, razors, tooth paste and beach towels. We had to contact the owner in the middle of our stay and they responded immediately to our needs. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was a nice feature and the unit had a lovely patio for enjoying our morning coffee. The unit was also convenient to restaurants and there was a beach across the street. A great stay.
I’m definitely giving stars for location. Short walk to lots of shopping and food. Beautiful beach across the street and you can hear the waves. Now for the bads. Place was not very clean at all. Felt like we needed to keep shoes on as floors were greasy. Master bath was “ok” but second bath shower was moldy and smelled. A simple bleaching would go a long way. We were there for a wedding and iron started sparking and was unusable. The owner did offer to bring another one which was nice but we didn’t have time to wait. I feel that if you are going to charge a cleaning fee, you should arrive to a clean start. Just my opinion. I would definitely stay at condos again just maybe look at another unit
I have stayed at several different condos at the Banyan Harbor condominium, this was the first time I stayed with this owner. I must say, I was impressed with the small things this owner did to make our stay awesome. The basket of extras was a very nice touch (something no other owner has done before). The two full bath was nice for a pair of couples as we did not have to share a bathroom. If you have stayed in a Banyan Harbor Condo before, like I have, most units have ALOT of stairs you have to climb in order to access. This condo was a ground level, so it was easy access. The only issues we had during the stay are not any fault of the owner. We had a heard of elephants living above us, which was more of nuisance than anything else. We would love to stay here again! If the owner will have use, we would love to be regular visitors to this unit!
Renting the property was a breeze.
Great spot.
Overall we were satisfied with our stay. It is a great area to stay in when you have plans to take day trips to other parts of the island. It is within easy walking distance to an excellent beach with stunning views and where the ocean was easy to swim in. The area was quiet and it felt safe. The rental property itself was adequate but was nothing special or fancy. Everything besides maybe the kitchen felt like it was in need of an upgrade and a deep clean. The bath towels desperately needed to be replaced (all were old and stained) and it would have been nice to have had a few more bath towels provided for our party of 4. 3 beach towels were also provided though which were in better condition. The unit did provide some body boards which we enjoyed using. And the swamp coolers were a huge plus. So overall, we’d consider staying here again given the great location and it providing all the basics.
Banyon Harbor is always so quiet & restful. Location is perfect & staff are all wonderful!!
The location of the property was my primary choice because we had friends staying at the Marriott in their timeshare. The unit is in need of upgrades (bathrooms). It would also be nice if they added some basic amenities such as more than one spare roll of toilet paper, Kleenex, made sure that the soap, shampoo, and conditioner dispensers were full, and more than 1 set of towels in each bathroom (that were bleach stained). It would also be nice to have a bag of coffee instead of a 1/4 cup of someone’s leftovers for that first morning. Would rent at this property again but in a unit that had been upgraded and hopefully had these basic amenities.
Property was clean, stocked with towels, sheets, beach towels and beach equipment such as sand castle toys for kids, boogie board, umbrellas etc Rooms and bathrooms are good sized. Kitchen and family area also a nice size as the patio had a table and chairs for having your meal in the fresh air. You can see the ocean from both patios over the privacy hedge. Grounds are well maintained and security personnel patrols area at night. We would stay here again.
