Ocean and Surfer Beachfront/AC/Elevator

Review Banyan Beach Condo April 26/25-May 3/25-Sue & Jeff from Gig Harbor, WA Sue here.... Loved this place! It was the perfect location -close to the airport, minutes from downtown, close to kayaking and snorkeling adventures and right on the beach where we could watch surfers on the lanai ! That was Sue’s evaluation now here’s mine-the pragmatic Jeff approach….I use the Good, the Bad and the Ugly scale. First the Good-If you love the sound of surf this is the place for you! When they say it’s on the beach, they mean it is ON the beach!  Premium view of surfers and sunsets! The layout of the unit is perfect. Parking was so easy with the reserved spot. Pool and BBQ are nicely located as in we could BBQ while watching the sunset or be in the pool! The unit was well equipped with all the beach stuff you need. The Bad-hmmm…….hmmm……couldn’t find a roller pizza cutter to cut our “Hawaiian pizza” LOL The Ugly-ok hmmm……hmmm….salt water spray on the windshield in the morning?  We dealt with it LOL P.s. check in and check out procedures were very detailed by email, just read them (don't be like me and forget to check your email cuz you are on island time!)

Amazing place very nice view and you can take a lot of pictures there 10/10

Great location. Very comfortable for our small family. Check-in was seamless which is always nice. Close to many restaurants. Close to many well known surf breaks. The one right outside is called Banyans and it’s a more advanced spot bc of the reef.

Aloha ,We had the most wonderful stay at the Banyan Tree Condo. It is often said that location is everything and this was the absolute perfect location. We sat every morning on the deck and watched the surfers while drinking our coffee. We listened to the ocean every night while falling asleep, which was amazing. The condominium is so well stocked with all essentials. It made our life so much easier. There were even chairs to take to the beach. We felt at home with all the beautiful decorations appropriate for Hawaii. This will be a trip that will stay in our hearts forever thanks in part to our wonderful accommodations. Dawn is an amazing host and we appreciate your attention to detail. Mahalo for the experience of a lifetime.

We had a great stay. The property was as advertised. Great views with some amazing sunsets. Never stayed this close to the water before. The only drawback is that if you are looking for a beach that is only steps away, this might not be the location for you. The property was quiet during quiet hours. Our host, Dawn, was very responsive. We never did have to contact her with any issues in the condo.The grounds, property, and condo were very, very clean. The extras included in the unit were nice: soap, shampoo, full-size washer and dryer. The kitchen was very well stocked. Beds were very nice.We would stay here again.

Can't say enough great things about this place! Located right on the water with a great view of all the surfers! Best stocked vacation rental that we've ever stayed in - there are beach towels, a cooler, a beach umbrella, even snorkel gear!! Beds are very comfortable, easy check in, plenty of towels, extra pillows and linens. Fold out beds in living room were perfect and comfortable for our 2 teens. Fall asleep to the waves crashing and wake up to breakfast and coffee on the large balcony. Can't wait to come back! Would highly recommend!

Great place, wish we could’ve stayed longer. Large bedrooms, comfortable beds, beautiful kitchen, and living/dining area. Very clean and right across the street to a convenience store! No complaints

Beautiful view, sound of crashing waves all night made the entire trip!! Spacious!… especially with use of the Kai Lanai!!!

This was a great property! Watching the sunset, the surfers, and hearing the ocean waves every night was incredible. They had beach gear too which I didn’t see listed and was a happy surprise. Very clean, fully stocked and all good things to report!

The ocean view was great and very close. Kitchen was well equipped. Beds were comfortable. Close to downtown as far as driving. Totes and wicker shelves by entry way came in very handy. And having beach towels there was great.

Bed comfy, kitchen good, showers need safety bars installed; view was the best!

Great rooms, location and views. Enjoyed watching the surfers. My only complaint was that the access information didn't get there until we arrived. A bit of stress.Thanks so much.

all was good

This is the ideal spot! Close to everything! Out of hustle and bustle! Fabulous view of surfers every morning! Beautiful sunsets great pool! Only place to stay on the big island!

Wow is all I can say. This place was in a perfect location and with the views was amazing right from the living area and master room. Thank you Dawn for this and being an amazing host.

This condo is perfect! Location is quiet, watch the surfers from the balcony, see the waves roll in from a pool chair. A well appointed, updated and well stocked condo. Communication with the owner was awesome even letting us know we could check in early. Wonderful stay and couldn’t have been better!

The lanai is perfect! You can't get much closer to the water than this! Covered parking, liquior store across the street and great location. Owner was flexible and very responsive to communication.

More fun than expected watching surfers at almost all daylight hours. On the last day, rushed to Kīlauea to catch episode 22 of the Halemaʻumaʻu eruption. Unbelievable. Location is great, communication with the owner was great.

The condo was as descibed with beautiful views and convenient localHost was very helpful throughout the process

Great property right on the ocean. The sound of the waves will lull you to sleep every night. Property owner great to deal with. Recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at this oceanfront condo. I really appreciated that the kitchen had some basic cooking essentials like salt/pepper, oil, etc. and that we were able to borrow snorkeling gear and a couple of beach chairs when visiting the beach. The description of the condo is accurate. The condo is clean and has a perfect view to watch the sunset. Communication with Dawn was easy, as was the check-in and check-out process. I would happily stay here the next time we visit the Big Island. Mahalo!

Lovely chill spot

Perfect location close to shops, shopping, restaurants and beaches. Condo was roomy for four adults and a baby, and was well equipped and up to date, nicely decorated. The manager was friendly and responsive.

Accommodations were as advertised. The place was beautiful and I enjoyed watching the surfers right outside my window!
