Beachfront holiday rental in Punaluu Beach

Beautiful, beautiful beach as we stepped out the back sliding door. Clean and lovely place, especially the first level flat with the one bedroom, living and dining area. The two rooms downstairs were adequate- no windows. We paid for the view and natural setting of the beach.

I really enjoy my stay at Shannon and Gabriel’s place. The unit is very comfortable, private, cozy, quiet and love the location, which is just minutes away from the beach, restaurants, Safeway and Whole Foods. There are a couple of great yoga studios nearby as well. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a comfortable place to stay!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely apartment in Hawaii, and I can't recommend it enough! The location was fantastic—just a short distance from everything I wanted to explore, including beautiful beaches, local shops, and delicious restaurants. Communication with the host was seamless and prompt. They were very accommodating and made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The apartment itself was a dream! It was impeccably clean and had a super aesthetic vibe that made it feel like a true getaway. Every corner was thoughtfully decorated, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Overall, my experience was amazing, and I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Hawaii. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Janet is a 5 star host, highly recommended. We had a small issue at Christmas night, we contacted Janet and she showed up within 5 minutes with help. The place itself is good too, walkable to everything and Janet will get your parking pass ready if you choose to park with her in advance. The parking is only $15 a day and it is one block away to the building.

Love the location! The view of the diamond head and the ocean is great! Location is priceless as everything is walkable and the beach is only a block an away. We took our daughter to the zoo one day and it was also less than a 10min walk, and only an hour drive to north shore!

Great view and sunset everyday.

Unit is clean, host is friendly and helpful. Very happy with our stay. Great location if you want to be in the heart of downtown Honolulu activities (Waikiki beach, shopping, bars, restaurants, etc). Small kitchen but plenty to eat in the area and didn’t use the kitchen, small bathroom but adequate for 2 people. Beautiful view from the balcony. Very quiet on the 8th floor. Only dislike was the parking….$30 / day great price but the spot is SMALL and difficult to get into. If you rent a car and are staying here request a compact car. We had a minivan and getting in the parking garage was tough especially when other cars were there and getting into our designated spot was very challenging. Had I known this, I would have booked a compact instead of manager special, which ended up being a minivan - we added a car last min for our 3 days in Honolulu after spending 10 days on Maui. Would stay here again! Great communication from host! Parking was only negative & not a deal breaker for us.

We had a fantastic stay at Alexei’s place in Waikiki! The unit was spotless and very comfortable. The bed was on the firmer side, which we personally loved, and the AC was efficient and super quiet—a lifesaver after a day in the sun. The location is unbeatable—just steps from the beach with breathtaking views of the ocean, Diamond Head, and the lush greenery of the zoo right across the street. The place was also fully stocked with all the cooking amenities, which made it easy for us to prepare meals and enjoy them while taking in the incredible scenery. One of the highlights was the communal rooftop patio in the building. It’s a hidden gem—spacious, rarely busy, and offering panoramic views that are hard to match. The only thing to be aware of is the noise level. Being near the street, there’s some street noise, and the bar a few floors below can get a bit lively at times. However, as a heavy sleeper, this didn’t bother us. If you’re a light sleeper, it’s something to keep in

**review from someone who has stayed at the Waikiki banyan 3 times now** Literally 10/10. I have stayed at 2 different air bnbs in this building, and never been completely satisfied—not because of the building but because of the actual air bnb. Obviously the location is superb! Beach is a block and a half away and so many good restaurants close by….but i was so tired of cheap towels and linens, BARE kitchens, uncomfortable beds, etc. We still decided to stay in an air bnb this time around, because we have a toddler and it’s ideal to have a separate room and a kitchen… However, I’ve finally found the air bnb I’ve been looking for. EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS HERE. All the details are executed perfectly. It’s dated but you don’t even notice it because everything is taken care of. This is how air bnb should be. Thinking of the small details and making sure you have enough essentials to last your entire time is so important and separates an ok host and an amazing host. Just book it!

The Ko Olina condo was spacious, peaceful and located in the most beautiful beachfront setting. You had views of the ocean from every room including both bedrooms. The kitchen was very functional with upgraded appliances, dishes and appurtenances. The grounds of the condo were wonderful with swimming pools, hot tubs, barbecues, and a large koi pond. Outside the gated facility was a walkway leading in both directions to other beachfront hotels and restaurants or to the private lagoon straight ahead. You will be hard pressed to find a nicer condo on the island of Oahu!

By far the best airbnb in y opinion! From location, to the hotel staff! The entrance of the hotel smells amazing! Vela’s unit is above and beyong great! The view is to die for! Very spacious! Super clean! And very helpful accommodating our needs! Mahalo!!

This was a wonderful place to stay! Me and my wife loved it! There are plenty of things to do that’s close by, the beach is about a 2 minute walk, Harmoni was quick to respond and very kind, and it was a very clean place! The only thing to note is it gets pretty loud at night with the road being right out the window. Other than that our stay was wonderful and we highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a fun stay.

We love this unit, stayed there 2 times, love white clean floors, furniture and beds are very comfortable, clean and useful kitchen, nice clean bathroom, makes us feel like at home. Great view!!! Beautiful sunsets can be watched right from the unit, and amazing location.

Excellent location close to Waikiki beach, Ala Moana shopping center, beautiful views of sunset, comfortable beds, outfitted with all basics. Host very responsive.

Fantastic location on Oahu. We appreciated the beautiful pools and ability to walk to the lagoon beach with our young children. The condo is in excellent condition with modern appliances and everything you would wish to have for your stay (kitchen supplies, washer/dryer, beach gear, etc). While we liked being able to walk to the nearby resorts, we preferred the more calm, serene, and less crowded beach villas.

We stayed here for 8 nights and it was very nice and clean. Right on the Waikiki area and all the amenities are included. Sunny is very friendly and responsive. We had a late flight and he let us check out at 1pm free of charge. We enjoyed our stay here, highly recommend! 🙂

Lovely place with beautiful ocean view! Very peaceful! Highly recommend

Scott was a great host very responsive and always asked if we had questions. Would define book this Airbnb again coming back to Hawaii

This Airbnb is restorative! It was a pleasure to wake up every morning in my surroundings and throw open the sliding doors to the deck and just feel the awesomeness. The view, sounds, and closeness of the ocean was SPECTACULAR. The semi-private beach was lovely for a swim (towels provided) and/or a chair (provided) plus a good book. Not lengthy enough for a walk. I took off on foot down the road and had a nice walk on the public beach. The apartment had the most gorgeous woodwork, and the kitchen had everything needed. Those sleeping in the second bedroom might want to bring sleeping masks as the sun shines in very brightly in the morning. It's a remote location, so stop at the grocery and Costco on your way from the airport. It's a real feel-good place! Would love to visit again.

Can’t say enough good things about this place! Not only did I feel like we were contributing to the local Hawaiian Community, the grounds were Amazing, definitely a highlight of our stay in Hawaii.

This was our second time staying at the Ko’Olina timeshares and it was just as magical as the first time! Our villa was so beautiful and everything about this place was amazing. Love our host and all the friendly staff that works there. They really know the meaning of ALOHA and makes you feel so welcomed. I would definitely stay here again and book through Denice! Pictures don’t do its justice. The place is even more beautiful in person. Our family made such wonderful memories here and we will cherish these times forever! Thank you Denice & Team! You all were great to communicate with! Until next time! MAHALO! ❤️

Beautiful, Oceanside condo. Literally on the beach. Will love to come back!

Nalani and Keith were wonderful. It was the first time I've had a host meet me for an airbnb; but it was definitely helpful when it came to check-in. Having a private, gated, reserved parking spot was great. It definitely made using a rental car extremely easy. The location of the condo is fantastic. You essentially get your own elevator (theres only 1 other condo on the floor) which made getting to and from the room extremely easy and rather private. All of the amenities were also outstanding. The 2 pools, hot tubs, and easy access to the lagoon made outside stuff easy to get to. Also, the little things really stood out. They had beach chairs and snorkels and all sorts of things that they allowed us to use as well. It was truly a home away from home. Definitely had a wonderful time and would FOR SURE rent with Nalani and Keith again in the future if they will have us. Mahalo!!!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The penthouse was amazing, we spent a lot of time on the lanai enjoying the view and sunset. There was so much space as well. The parking spot was also very nice to have since parking is so expensive around Waikīkī. Would def recommend!!
