The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.
Most guests love Maui Banyan for its unbeatable South Kihei location. The resort sits just across the street from Kamaole Beach Park II, making sunrise swims, sunset viewing, snorkeling, and beach days effortless. It’s an easy walk to cafes, food trucks, and restaurants, and a short drive to Wailea, the airport, and island day trips—so it works well for both families and couples looking for a relaxed, highly walkable base.
The property has a friendly, resort-like vibe with two pools and hot tubs, spotless tropical landscaping, and plentiful, well‑kept BBQ areas. Many condos are updated, very clean, and thoughtfully stocked: full kitchens, in‑unit washer/dryers, beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards), and the common 1BR/2BA layout gets frequent praise for convenience. Lanais range from garden and Haleakala views to partial ocean vistas; top floors and garden‑side units feel especially peaceful. Hosts are often cited as responsive and accommodating, with smooth check‑ins and occasional late checkouts.
Do note this is an older, individually owned condo complex, so units vary. While many feel newly refreshed, others come off dated or need deeper cleaning or minor maintenance. A handful of guests reported tropical pests (cockroaches/ants), occasional hiccups with entry codes, spotty Wi‑Fi, or AC units that are loud, on timers, or only in certain rooms. Pool‑facing units can be noisier, quiet hours are enforced, and periodic maintenance or construction may occur. Some buildings (like T) have no elevator, and garage parking stalls can be tight. If these matter, choose a recently renovated unit with strong reviews, confirm stair/elevator access and parking details with your host, and you’ll likely have an easy, comfortable stay in one of Kihei’s best-located resorts.

Great room! The location was amazing.. you walk out the back door and you’re only about 50’ from the pool entrance. It’s within walking distance to the beach, with a lot of beach supplies ready to go; towels, chairs, snorkel equipment, etc. The bed was even incredibly comfortable and the AC worked great! We have been to Kīhei three times so far and this was our favorite place we’ve stayed because of the cleanliness and location. We would love to stay in this same room again!The only complaint we had is that it does have a conjoining room so you can hear the people next door if they are loud. Our last few days the guests next to us sounded like a man was yelling at a woman several times for several days. I stood near that door and spoke loudly to my husband so they knew we could easily hear them and the man seemed to get the hint.

Great Aloha vibes from the host, Jamie and the condo. My family and I stayed for 12 days and we literally had everything we needed. Jamie was amazing and let us check in early, since our flight arrived early Maui time and we had littles that needed naps. Would absolutely stay again. The condo was extremely clean, and there were so many thoughtful touches that made our stay that much more enjoyable. Thank you! So much Aloha!

Clean comfy condo with view of ocean, lovely well-maintained grounds, very close to beach. The condo has just about everything you would want or need, in the kitchen, and the bathrooms. Very nice to have two full bathrooms also for a one bedroom condo. Everything was very clean and thoughtfully stopped, even the Kamaina discount for Foodland hanging on the side of the fridge. Wonderful aloha and we hope to come back.

Well stocked kitchen. Great location. Very nicely decorated and updated! The lack of an elevator is a real issue for older people; however, we were very happy with the unit.

The property was in an excellent location for traveling around the island. Kind of centrally located for what we needed. Property included chairs and umbrellas for the beach and was a well stocked kitchen for cooking and immediate needs. Just brought in our own food. Beach areas and restaurants were close and easy driving distance. One beach within easy walking distance.

We are a family of 3 from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This was our 3rd time in beautiful Maui and while we like visiting other resorts/areas of the island, we always say how much we prefer Kihei and the Maui Bayan. We've chosen to stay here each time! It is just so handy to everything...shopping, beaches etc. For this vacation, we were very fortunate to stay in Ronny's condo. From the get go, Ronny has been an excellent host (wish we met you in person). Ronny responds to any and all questions literally within 5min. His condo is very clean, very well equipped with everything you could need and I love all the extras like the beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, boogie board and sand toys!! While I know it may not always be possible, Ronny was exceptionally accommodating with check in and check out too! It was just perfect and we have stayed in lots of VRBO's. This one has been our favourite. Thank you Ronny, for helping to make our family vacation fabulous! The Hewitts

The place is about perfectly located on the island. You can really get about everywhere from here easily. The actual unit is literally directly across the street from the beach. Just down the street are rental spots for boogie boards etc. It is awesome to not have to drive once

The property was nice but you know it is an older condo. Everything worked but everything could be upgraded. Also lots of forks but only six or eight spoons and knives. Better selection of plates needed.

This vacation condo was perfect! They had everything you needed from basic essentials, to beach towels, chairs, pool floats, etc. The air conditioning worked well and the condo doesn't get overly hot without it which is nice. Jamie was great to deal with! I would highly recommend this vacation home away from home. Lisa & FamilySherwood Park, Alberta Canada

Room is wonderful. My 5 year old really enjoyed the beach toys. Boogie board and beach chairs were great. Room was stocked good with pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. It really helps not to eat out all the time. Made use of the grills at the pool. Rooms were very comfortable with A/C. We look forward to our next trip. The kids wand to come back every summer.

Such a great space. Clean, comfortable, quiet, well-appointed. Beds were very comfortable (even the sofa pull out mattress was great!), towels were soft and plentiful, and showers were delightful. Beach gear was top notch as well. Thank you!

Host was great and very responsive to our questions before the trip. Property is well equipped with items even like sunscreens/lotions which were not expected. We enjoyed our stay there.
June 2026
The place was very nice. It was very close to the beach and the beach was not crowded at all. It was like having our own beach most days. It gets windy in the afternoon so the pool was a great place to be after the wind kicks up. Walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Would stay there again

Ron was an awesome host from start to finish! We thoroughly enjoyed the condo and all the many additional conveniences provided by our host! All the beach gear really made for a wonderful trip for our group. Communication with the host was always fast and efficient. We really enjoyed the location. It was walking distance to several awesome shops and eateries! 10/10. The only slight issue we had (not really an issue as this is Hawaii) was the AC not really cooling below about 75 but again, just something to be aware of. Not a major issue by any means. I didn’t even bring it up to our host or I’m certain he would’ve had a solution but it didn’t bother us enough to worry with. We spent most of our time outdoors enjoying and the incredible scenery of Maui.

We really enjoyed our stay. There were 5 of us. There was ample space with the pull out couch. It was very clean, right across from beach, with a nice pool where you can even grill. It had everything we needed, and we would stay again. Parking was easy and convenient. (Narrow spot though so consider this if renting a big car). We had a jeep. While tight squeeze, it worked out ok. There was construction directly in front of the property that made driving a bit difficult ( detour required) but it didn’t interfere with our stay. The one caution with a party or 5 that needs to use the pull out coach - the air conditioner is in the living room area for that section of the condo. If you need to close the pocket doors for privacy, it does limit the air conditioning flow to the bedroom. There is a ceiling fan which works well but just a heads up. We definitely would recommend this unit!

We loved staying at Pam and Glyn’s condo and would definitely stay here again next time we come to Maui. The unit was exactly as described in the pictures and was very well stocked with everything one would need. The kitchen had lots of appliances, cooking utensils, and bags / Tupperware for storage. We also enjoyed using the beach gear provided which included chairs, towels, boogie boards, coolers, umbrellas, and nice quality snorkel gear. We also loved sitting on the patio with the beautiful garden view and being a short walk to the pool and grills. The Kamaole beaches are also a short walk away and were a great place to snorkel and see sea turtles! Pam and Glyn were great hosts and clearly go above and beyond to make sure their guests have a comfortable stay!

The condo overall was great. There were a few things needing attention like rusty knives in the knife block, a moldy shower curtain, etc. the biggest bummer was that there were termites. We’re from the PNW so we’re familiar with pests like this and weren’t too bothered, but I imagine others might be more upset. They flared up specifically when running the shower. This was our second time in this specific unit and overall we had a good time. We love the Maui Banyan location.
