Great place to stay for the Maui Oceanfront Half Marathon - walking distance to race start and to dinner cruise. Unit was accurately described. Very clean, bed and pillows very comfortable, great ocean view, pleasant lanai and backyard. Tante restaurant in walking distance - great menu at reasonable prices. Visited Maui Ocean Center Aquarium, also walking distance.

This property offers a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the mainland but also a quiet escape from the island. The views are incredible and the quiet manner of the property offers the ability to listen to the waves from your condo at all times.
There seems to be a disconnect from. The owners to the property management as trash receptacles are not open at all hours to dispose of trash. Listing the access hours could be helpful. Additional details from the owners regarding condo amenities provided and appliance operation would also be appreciated (explain it’s a Roku tv and give a standard explanation of the dishwashers and laundry). Otherwise, this condo provided all that is needed for a wonderful Maui vacation.

We loved this condo. It was perfect for us. Nice and new feeling on the inside in an older but very well maintained building. Loved the bathroom and the kitchen. The washer and dryer are in the kitchen but we loved having them in the condo. Very comfortable and the view is amazing!
Turtles can be seen at both ends of the property!
We loved being halfway between Kaanapali and the Wailea. We were able to go to restaurants at both ends and across the island at Paia. We even booked a whale watching excursion out of the marina right beside us. I would definitely stay here again.

The condo is newly updated. The whole place is lovely. So glad for a really nice bathroom and kitchen. (There is a washer/dryer in the kitchen but we were glad to have it!)
The view is spectacular - I took a lot of pictures!
There are turtles in front every day. There is no beach to put chairs and lay out on but the grassy area is very nice and you can walk down to the sand and rocks to see the turtles up close. Bed was comfortable, shower was great.
Two beach chairs were available and beach towels.They had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Some people might not like the area - you are not "in town" for close restaurants and stores (there are a few at the Ocean Center) but we loved it! We felt like we were central to the whole island and planned our days accordingly. We went a different direction every day. And on our last day we had a boating excursion at the harbor right down the street.
Perfect!

The condo we rented via CBIP vacations was perfect for two people. We had a ground floor (which we required); the condo was clean, well stocked and the instructions were timely and concise.

My impression is that this place is not owned by people who know much about a functional kitchen. Many parts are awkward. One funny example is that there's a cabinet door with no knob. You have to reach under the door with your hand or foot to open it. The glass door for the shower had a broken edge.
The sink is set on top of the counter with little clearance to the cupboards and no space for a dish rack.
The appliances are new and of good quality but had no manuals. We had to guess how to use them.
There is a fold out couch and many extra pillows, but no sheets or pillow cases for using this as a bed. For what we got it was very overpriced.
I loved being so close to the beach park down the street. I walked there barefoot several times! Also convenient is the little village of shops, restaurants and the Ocean Aquarium and the marina where many boat tours start.

The condo is in a great location just between Lahiana and Kihei. It's super easy to get to, the property is a quiet sleepy complex that is perfect for a low key and relaxing vacation. We found the condo to be well cleaned and supplied with the basics a vacationer needs. My cons: The bedroom is stuffy as there is no a/c. A simple standing unit would be a great addition. I'm a cold natured person and always require a or blanket and even I was uncomfortable in the bedroom. Thank goodness I was a single sleeper! The dryer doesn't dry - it seems improperly vented. We called for repair and they sent someone but it never did dry anything. This was disappointing as we packed light knowing we'd have a washer and dryer. And finally, the property is a non-smoking property, but the maintenance crew didn't follow this rule. It made sitting outside to enjoy a beachfront lanai impossible.

Everything was great, the location, other guests, and on site management. One thing we we slightly disappointed in, no basic staple items, flour, sugar, ketchup & mustard, facial tissue. We will stay here again.

Very nice location in the middle of the island and very well equipped apartment. Nothing was missing.The communication with the administration was excellent whenever there was a question.

This beach condo was absolutely wonderful and had all the amenities to feel right at home. The beach theme of the condo added to the laid back atmosphere and the outside patio table served as the perfect spot to enjoy meals while gazing at the ocean.

Beautiful condo! It was great being on the bottom floor as it was easy access to the bbq, pool, and hot tub. It felt very private with the hedge blocking the pool even though it was really close. Kitchen was well stocked with any utensils we needed. We will definitely book this condo again. Thank you!

Short walking distance to a great restaurant, miles of beautiful (hidden gem) beach, the harbor if you have any trips booked, and some shops for some necessities.
A great spot for watching turtles. The pool, hot tub and grills are always places to meet wonderful people.

We had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped. The outdoor grill the grounds were well cared for. The pool and hot tub were lovely.It was a great location, so close to many of the activities we had planned while on that part of Maui. And best of all, we had the waves to lull us to sleep!

This property and condo exceeded my expectations! Maa'laea Banyans is a beautifully kept property, very secure and well maintained. The condo unit itself was so cozy. We spent 9 days here and were so sad for our time to come to an end. It was so amazing waking up to see the gorgeous sunrise right outside of our condo, and being able to go down to the beach area at night to watch the sea turtles resting was such a dream! We even got to see some during the day! The bed was very comfortable too! This trip was a literal dream come true, and picking this condo to stay in was part of what made the trip so wonderful. If you are considering this property, you won't be disappointed!

We had a wonderful stay. Beautiful ocean view and sea turtles right outside in the bay. Close driving to almost everything
