Real rules, real fines, no corporate jargon. The Banyan Tree is a small building where
everyone shares walls, hallways, a pool, and a parking lot. These rules keep it working.
Read the essentials before you arrive — the rest is here when you need it.

No early check-in or early bag drop. The cleaning crew needs the full window between guests. Plan to keep your bags with you until 4 PM. Parking stall #6 is also unavailable until 4 PM.
No late checkout. It creates hardship for our cleaning staff who need time to prepare the unit for the next guest.
Must be 25 or older to rent. Proof of age may be required.
Maximum 5 guests. Exceeding the limit or falsifying occupancy may result in eviction.
No parties or events — grounds for immediate eviction.
No pets.$600 fee plus damage costs if evidence of pets is found.
No smoking, vaping, or marijuana inside the unit or on the lanai. $450 fee if evidence is found.

guest limit2 per unit
hot tubAdults only
Owners, residents, tenants, and their guests may use the pool. Guests are limited to 2 per unit at a time and must be accompanied by an owner, resident, or tenant.
Children 12 and under must be supervised by an adult (18+).
The spa/hot tub is for adults only. Children under 18 should not use it due to risks from high water temperatures.
Shower before swimming. Rinse off at the pool shower before entering the pool or spa.
Wear footwear in all common areas, including hallways, elevator, and when walking to and from the pool.
Clean, appropriate swimwear required. Infants and anyone who needs them should wear waterproof swim diapers.
No swimming with open wounds, skin infections, eye or ear discharge, or bandages.
Long hair should be tied back or covered with a swim cap. Remove pins, clips, and jewelry before entering the pool.
Inflatable rings and mats are fine. No hard toys, boards, balls, or diving equipment.
Walk, don't run. No diving — the pool is not designed for it. No roughhousing or games that could cause injury.
Keep splashing and noise to reasonable levels.
Place a towel on chaise lounges when using sunscreen to protect the furniture.
Use headphones with phones and music players.
Food and beverages are welcome in the pool area but not in the water. Use plastic or metal containers — no glass anywhere in the pool area.
Smoke-free zone. No smoking, vaping, or e-cigarettes in the pool area or anywhere on the property grounds.
Do not add any substances to the pool or spa. Only authorized personnel may adjust pool equipment or chemicals.
Clean up when you leave — remove all belongings and trash, return furniture to its place, and replace the spa cover.
BBQ: clean the grill after each use with the brush provided. Grills can be cleaned while warm — do not cover a hot grill.
Small gatherings are welcome. Large parties that disturb neighbors are not. Short-term tenants (vacationers) may not host parties at Banyan Tree.
Keep the pool gate closed at all times.
The pool, spa, and BBQ are unattended — use at your own risk. The Association is not responsible for items left in the pool area.
Violations may result in suspension of pool privileges and/or fines.
your stall#6
max vehicle size3/4 ton
Park in assigned stall #6 or in designated visitor parking. Do not park in other residents' spaces. If someone parks in your space, call 951-4BT-HELP.
Visitor parking is short-term only — not for vehicle storage. Cars in visitor spaces or the gravel lot must be moved every 24 hours. Overnight parking requires management approval.
Only one car per unit may stay overnight without approval. For a second car, ask the Community Manager or Site Manager about the gravel lot.
Vehicle size: parking stalls accommodate vehicles up to 3/4 ton that fit within marked lines. Oversized vehicles (large trucks, buses, limousines) cannot be accommodated.
All vehicles must be properly licensed, insured, and operational. No storing boats, trailers, or other items in parking spaces.
Vehicle repairs are not permitted except for minor emergencies (flat tires, jump-starts).
Motorbikes and mopeds may only park in the owner's assigned space — not in common areas.
Enter and exit carefully to avoid damaging neighboring vehicles or landscaping. Keep your space free of oil, grease, and debris.
Abandoned, inoperative, or illegally parked vehicles may be towed at the owner's expense.
Climate
Keep the AC set at 75°F or higher. The tropical environment means the unit struggles when set lower — it's not a freezer, it's a comfort system.
Kitchen & food
Wash dishes and clean up after cooking. Remove food and crumbs from counters.
Store food in the fridge or airtight containers. Do not leave food out overnight — it invites pests.
Take trash to the dumpster daily. Do not leave trash bags outside the unit door.
Beach equipment & towels
Beach towels are provided for the beach — please don't use bath towels outside. Replacement fee charged if beach towels aren't returned.
Rinse all beach equipment after use and return it to the unit.
Furniture & care
Do not move furniture or electronics.
Do not sit on furniture in wet swimsuits or with sunscreen/suntan oil.
Do not spray sunscreen inside the unit or on the lanai. The mist settles on everything.
Wash all sand off before entering the building — use the hose outside.
Water conservation
West Hawaii has no streams or lakes — all water comes from the aquifer. Wash only full loads of clothes and dishes. Report leaks or running toilets promptly.
Sunscreen & reef safety
Hawaii law (Act 104) bans sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate, which damage coral reefs. Use reef-safe sunscreen — it's the right thing to do, and it's the law.
Children
Children under 12 must be supervised on the lanai at all times.
Checkout
Double-check everything before you leave. Check drawers, under beds, closets — charging cords, earbuds, and kids' items are the usual suspects. Mailing forgotten items costs a minimum $75.
Log out of streaming accounts on all TVs.
Leave the unit as you found it. Charges apply for damage, missing items, or excessive cleaning.
Report any damages or maintenance issues promptly so we can address them.
