Size –
1 Bedroom • 1 Bathroom 1 Bath • Sleeps 1-4Enjoy sweeping Diamond Head and ocean views from this 27th-floor, 1-bedroom condo at the Waikiki Banyan. You’ll see the ocean and Diamond Head from both the bedroom and your private lanai (balcony). Waikiki Beach is about a 5-minute walk away, and one parking space is included free, a real advantage in Waikiki.
We completely remodeled this 600 sq ft condo with tile floors, granite countertops, new cabinets and kitchen appliances, furniture, linens, and bedding. It’s a comfortable home base for exploring Oahu, with a full kitchen, separate bedroom, and plenty of room to relax after a day at the beach.
Sliding doors separate the bedroom from the living room for privacy. The bathroom has two sections, allowing one person to shower while another uses the sink.
This is a legally permitted vacation rental.

THE WAIKIKI BANYAN
The Waikiki Banyan’s 6th-floor recreation deck was completely remodeled and reopened in May 2026. It features a large heated swimming pool, three spas, separate men’s and women’s saunas, a tennis court, barbecue grills, a basketball hoop, and a children’s playground.
In the lobby, you’ll find a convenience store, coffee shop, concierge desk, and a waterfall with a koi pond.
For your convenience, every floor has coin-operated washers and dryers and a trash chute.
THE BEACH AND NEIGHBORHOOD
One of the best things about this location is how much you can do without a car.
Waikiki Beach is about a 5-minute walk away. Just a block from the building, a seawall protects a large swimming area with lifeguards on duty. It’s almost like a giant saltwater swimming pool and is especially popular with families, especially with little ones.
On the Diamond Head side of the seawall is the Wall, one of Oahu’s best-known body boarding spots, including for beginners. Just beyond it is Queen’s Beach, with shade trees along the beach, the aquarium and snorkeling in the Waikiki Marine Life Conservation District.
The Honolulu Zoo, Kapiolani Park, and Waikiki Aquarium are all nearby. You can also walk to the International Market Place, Duke’s, the Blue Note, grocery stores, and hundreds of restaurants and shops.
Waikiki has plenty going on beyond the beach, including Friday night fireworks, farmers markets, free hula and ukulele lessons, and live music throughout the neighborhood.
Prefer not to drive? Bus stops next to the building provide service throughout Oahu. Waikiki also has ridesharing, bike sharing, motorcyclea and scooter rentals.

About the Owner
Aloha! I'm Steve Marcotte. I grew up in Palo Alto, in the heart of Silicon Valley. In 1992, I came to Hawaii for a recording session and immediately felt at home. When I returned in 1993, I bought a little cottage by the ocean and began renting it to visitors. As a software engineer, I advertised the cottage online. In 1993, few people used the internet, so many of my first guests were fellow engineers and tech folks. After 20 years in corporate software engineering, I was ready for a change. I moved to Hawaii in 1996, founded A Piece of Paradise, and have been welcoming guests to the islands ever since! In 2013, I moved to Waikiki and founded Hawaii Second Homes. Today, I manage four Waikiki vacation rentals, from cozy studios to a penthouse that sleeps six. I manage them all personally, with no management company in the middle. When you have a question, I'm the one who answers it. Being semi-retired gives me plenty of time for my guests and properties. After more than 30 years of hosting, and as an avid traveler myself, I know what makes a stay enjoyable: honest descriptions, accurate photos, well-equipped accommodations, clear instructions, easy check-in at any hour, and someone you can count on if you need help. I'm also a licensed Hawaii real estate broker (RB-18115) and principal broker of Hawaii Second Homes. Curious about the building, neighborhood, or owning property in Hawaii? Just ask. I enjoy talking about it! Outside of rentals, I write and record music. I lived in Japan and played music there, and I still travel to Nashville annually to record with friends from my high school and college bands, along with multiple Grammy-winning studio musicians. Music and travel have always been important to me. I love living in Hawaii and helping visitors enjoy the islands. Mahalo for considering one of my vacation rentals. I hope to welcome you to Waikiki soon! Aloha, SteveLocation
