Great Location! Beautiful Beach! Close to great restaurants and stores! Highly recommend the Fish Tacos at Coconuts. Anita is a great host and made it all very accommodating!

Anchor Cove is as oceanfront as a Maui condo can get. While located at a mid-size condo property, this unit feels private. It's plenty spacious for two couples - fully equipped, comfortable, and with a view that can not be beat. Already trying to plan a return!

This is our second time staying in this condo and we will continue to come again and again. It's perfect! Nicely decorated, very comfortable sectional, beach chairs and umbrella provided, gorgeous views, ocean front on one of the best beaches. Paradise!

The property is absolutely gorgeous and is on the beach. The sunset and sunrise views are breath taking. The property owner, August, provided excellent communication and was very welcoming. It is very clean and has every comfort of home. I would recommend to anyone to stay here!

The condo was perfect. So clean and updated with every amenity you could need. Our favorite part was the location with easy access to a beautiful beach (steps away from door to the sand) and everything you could need for a day at the beach. Plus, it was right across the street from some delicious restaurants that we took advantage of on lazy days when we didn't want to hop in the car. The facilities we're top notch and guests at the complex we're quiet and respectful. Aside from the condo and location, Anita was one of the best rental hosts we've ever worked with. She made a point to call us upon reserving to say hi and get to know us. She checked in with us ahead of our trip to make sure we had everything we needed and offer flexibility for check in / out times based on our flights. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND with the extensive condo packet and Maui visitor guide that we used often, plus the welcome champagne and congratulations card (it was our honeymoon). Multiple times throughout our stay my husband and I discussed when we could come back and stay in the same condo. We truly loved our stay and cannot wait to return. Thank you Anita for the warm aloha hospitality! It was a trip we will never forget.

This was our second time staying at Anita's condo. It has everything you’d need and more and you can’t beat the location !t really is a beachfront paradise. The view from the lanai is amazing. We will definitely return again and again!

We've been going to Maui and staying in Kihei in the same place for 20 years. We'll never stay in this unit again. Moved after 2 days. Condo was lacking... just about everything. 18" of closet space only after we cleared out a vacuum cleaner, step stool, ironing board and brooms. Had to use the ironing board as a table because there was no place to put anything down. Had to request kitchen towels, a bath mat, ant killer, a laundry basket, swiffer, entry rug, etc. There are no hooks around for towels, bathing suits... No ice maker. The bed was super uncomfortable and when I asked them to rotate it, they flipped it instead. So the 2nd (last) night we slept on the underside of the mattress (not designed to be flipped). We've never stayed in a more poorly equipped condo on the island. The only good thing is customer service was quick to respond to emails and texts and refunded our money for the duration after the 2 days.

We had a wonderful vacation! The condo had amazing views and was very clean! The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed and more. We loved having the beach chairs and other supplies. The location was idea as well. We did have a little problem with the WI-FI but it was resolved. Thank you again August for your hospitality!

September 2023

We really enjoyed the condo itself - really attractive, very comfy beds and all the amenities. The air conditioning was a fabulous addition, as we had spent a week near Keahou on the Big Island without air! That said, this is a high rise complex in a busy area, and we very much preferred the calm, peaceful spacious low level building we were in on Keahou. If you want beaches close, great food (we loved Moose McGillicuddy's and Fred's Mexican) this is the place for you. If you prefer a quiet getaway, look for something with more space between units and a calmer vibe.

The condo is in a great location, right on the beach with a great ocean view from the lanai. It is also close to lots of great shipping and restaurants, and a short drive to assume great South Maui snorkeling spots. Condo is clean and well equipped.

We absolutely loved our stay. The condo is spacious and very well equipped to meet your every need. It has a beautiful view, and proximity to beaches is a plus. Be sure to catch the awesome sunsets. Restaurants and shops are close by, some within walking distance. Hopefully we’ll be back soon!! Special thanks to our host, Brittany. She is quick to respond to messages/requests. Thank you!!!

The condo is lovely. It’s clean and comfortable with quiet split flow air conditioning and ceiling fans. Beach chairs, beach bag, cooler, hairdryer etc all provided. View is awesome and the beach is fabulous for swimming and seeing sea turtles. Owner stayed in touch to make sure we were happy

Property was perfect! We'll be coming back to this place for many years to come. Michael was the best host from welcoming gifts, snacks, fresh fruit & drinks. The home is loaded with everything you need & more - by far the best VRBO we've stayed in! Thanks Michael & team!

Karen’s home was amazing! We were there for almost a week and it was the perfect home. Not only were we close to different food spots, we were literally on the beach. This home is perfect to relax and enjoy the beautiful views. Karen was so great. She made sure to check in on us and was always prompt in responding. I would highly recommend this home to anyone who wants to stay in a beautiful home and who wants to have a relaxing vacation.

Amazing property. Very clean and comfortable. The amenities in the kitchen are very good if you enjoy cooking. Usually we eat one meal a day out so it’s nice to have the option. Great location if you enjoy walking and visiting the local area. Lots to do. This is my sixth time to Hawaii. Will be back. Our host was very approachable and attentive to any questions that we had. People on site in the office were also helpful as we had a package delivered. Everything went so smoothly.

This place is magical! We came with our family to get married and could not have picked a better place or location. Our host, Michael, could not have been more helpful. Michael is amazing, very quick to respond and helpful with all requests. Michael is extremely knowledgable about the island, where to go and how to have food delivered, etc etc. He really made this whole process with our wedding much easier - so, thank you, Michael!!! The penthouse is in an amazing location, the beach is amazing. We had 9 people, enough space for all of us and close to all the areas we wanted to visit. The views, the sound of the ocean, it really was just an amazing stay. Michael, thank you for all that you did for us and we look forward to coming back to see you soon!!

My husband and I have been visiting Maui for over 20 years consistently. This was our first visit to Kihei and we were blown away with this town. We usually stay at a resort on either side of the Island (we love being served a cocktail at a fancy pool just as much as the next). We knew we wanted to stay at minimum 2 weeks and wanted to just chill and do whatever we wanted to without the hustle and bustle of a resort. WE FOUND UR PARADISE! The acommodations were everything we had hoped for... the unit had everything we could ask for as far a kitchen supplies, linens etc. Walking out to our beach steps away was magnificent. Many great restaurants within walking distance of anything you needed... including a little grocery store across the street. Amazing sunsets from our Lanai every single night. Karen was very easy to communicate with and was able to help us with anything we needed.Hoping to return sooner than later.

Fabulous views, plenty of room. The ability to open up the sliding doors along the entire patio area was so much fun. Management very responsive. The only downside was the property is a little older, and is on very busy street.

Fantastic condo in one of the best complexes we've stayed in on maui and we've been to Maui dozens of times. Great views from the balcony, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable king bed, nice L shaped couch, AC. Can't beat the location, right on the beach and walkable to many restaurants. Extras like beach chairs, umbrella and snorkel gear are a big bonus.
Carrie W.
May 2023

My daughters and I loved this condo. It's in a great location South Kihei and walking distance to the beach and some great restaurants. The pool is well-maintained, and we cooked at the communal grills several times. The condo itself is updated, well-stocked, and has incredible views of the mountains and ocean - we could see whales from the lanai!!! Check in/out was easy as was communicating with the owner. We hope to return soon!
Regan J.
April 2023

We had an amazing trip to Maui! This condo at the Maui Banyan was a perfect place to be able to explore the island and was a centrally located home base. The owner, Brittany, was very easy to communicate with, especially when we had concerns about a deleted flight and later arrival. The condo is exactly as it is pictured and is in immaculate condition . We spent a lot of time by the pools and on the Lanai, watching the whales splash just out from Kamaole 2 beach. We are already planning our stay for next year. Would highly recommend this rental to anyone who wants a beautiful rental in Maui!

Literally every detail was considered for guests to make the most of their time. Very comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and beach accessories. Brittany is a gracious host, would definitely come back!
Theresa P.
February 2023

This property exceeded our expectations! The condo was very comfortable and roomy enough for two couples. It had two true bedrooms with king beds and full bathrooms. The kitchen was very well stocked and well equipped for outdoor fun (snorkeling gear, umbrella, beach chairs...). The location was great as well - right across from lovely Kam II beach and easy walking to a number of restaurants in town. Access to Wailea and Makena beaches to the south is easy as well. The complex is also very nice, with two pools/spas available to guests as well as BBQ's, tennis and onsite parking. The complex is large, but quiet. There are many condos in the area, but this one overlooks a forested lot (i.e. not another building) as well as Haleakala in one direction and the ocean in the other. I was a bit worried about feeling crowded in, but definitely not the case here. Brittany was very responsive to our questions both before our arrival and while there. All in all, great hosts and a great stay!

I think Kihei is perfect place to be. The condo was amazing with a beautiful view, all of the amenities, including beach chairs and umbrellas! The owner checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. and I cant say enough about our beach. It was a gradual slope, with no rocks. I swam every day and although we visited other beaches I preferred the one I had out back. 5 stars for sure!

This has become our absolute best VBRO condo to date! Great location, beautifully appointed condo, super clean and great location!

I cannot say enough good things about this property, management and owners!

Beachfront location. Very well setup. The lanai looked directly out to the beach. Centrally located. Well maintained complex. Quiet.
Dave R.

We had a great week at the HPH. I have stayed in Kihei several times over the years as well as in Wailea. In my opinion, HPH is the best located property on the strip. Straight onto the beach on which you can walk 6km down the coast to the far end of Wailea without leaving the shoreline. HPH units are not big, but 606 is nicely remodeled with everything you need. We will be back. Thanks.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at this property. We loved drinking coffee on the lanai in the morning, and how convenient it was to stay right on the ocean. Parking was always a breeze and the condo had everything that we could have possibly needed.
Jana W.
December 2022

We just returned from a 7 night visit and are so happy we selected this property. It was larger than we needed for 3 adult couples; the cost would have been less to get 3 luxury hotel rooms nearby, but we would have sacrificed a lot of communal space and family time this place enabled us to enjoy. The proximity to the beach is unparalleled. You can hear the waves through the closed doors/windows from the master bedroom and living space. Walking to and from the beach is easy - I even had wifi from the condo while on the beach. And there was always a parking spot just by the stairwell to the condo despite the busy season. Being able to open the entire wall for a huge indoor/outdoor experience was really fun, which we did one night when we had a private chef. The chef recommended by Michael was wonderful. Sunrise was surprisingly nearly as beautiful as sunset with the whole sky going light pink and purple. The beach was never crowded, and we saw whales spouting several mornings from the lanai and also saw sea turtles swimming past us in the water twice while just standing in the ocean. Also it was great to be able to walk right across the street to one of the best delis on Maui for a breakfast or lunch sandwich, for lattes and Hawaiian ices, to The Cinnamon Roll Place, to a liquor/wine/beer store, to a grocery store, and much more. Prices at these local spots were much less than we would have paid were we trapped on a luxury resort for every purchase. There were no negative surprises. Check in/out was simple, photos are accurate, the place came well stocked with towels, cleaning supplies like laundry detergent, lots of spices and pantry staples, all the cookware and glasses you need. Also probably 10 beach chairs, several umbrellas, plenty of snorkel gear and pails and life vests etc. We never hauled out the paddle boards and kayaks as they are quite large and tightly stuffed into their holding container - it just seemed like too much hassle. The only small complaint I had was that the wooden bed frames creak, which can disturb a light sleeper even when simply rolling over in the night (beds and pillows were quite comfortable though). The addition of an espresso machine and water filter would take the amenities over the top. We refilled our water bottles continually, but the tap water had a slight aftertaste to me. We would definitely return and recommend this place! Mahalo

We loved the condo! Lovely, island decor and art. Comfy bedroom with air conditioning. Great location. Beach was perfect. The pool and grounds are wonderful with friendly folks. Being west facing it got quite warm in afternoon, but the electric shades helped and the sunsets are spectacular!

We were so happy with our stay! The proximity to the beach is amazing, with the ability to run up and down to the condo in just a few seconds from the beach. The condo is also located next to a bunch of food options, so you can walk to get many types of food, as well as a small grocery store!

This was a wonderful place to stay in Maui! Right across from the beach too. The condo was clean, well maintained, well stocked with everything you need for the beach and barbecues by the pool. It was really a trip of a lifetime. Brittany (the host) responded to any questions I had in a friendly manner. I highly recommend staying here.

My sister and I went to Maui to get away and celebrate her 40th! We picked this property because it was a good value with great reviews. We had such a great time. Kihei is in a convenient spot for traveling the whole island without spending too much time in the car (IMO). Brittany was great with communication. We loved being able to use the beach items and having a washer/dryer and our own separate spaces was awesome. This could easily sleep several more people but it was also perfect for just the two of us. Great experience! Thank you!!

We visited Hawai’i for a niece’s wedding. Many guest we’re staying in very expensive hotels in nearby Wielea. Our stay at Anita’s was convenient, close to everything, stores shops, restaurants and the wedding events. More importantly it was right on one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. Compared to the nearby hotels it was a far, far better place to stay. Thank Anita for making it so easy to enjoy!
Steve V.
October 2022

Our stay was so wonderful! The condo had so many things available to use, such as beach towels, toys, chairs, etc. which made it easy to go down to the water. You have an amazing beach view here. The location is ideal, because there are so many shops and things to do close by. We had such a great trip and hope to stay here again!

This is our third stay in Kihei at a VRBO. We loved this one . Close to the water, perfect grassy knoll to lounge on in front of our room. The only thing which was a little sketch was the toilet. It would start to fill like it was going to overflow ( it never did) but it would empty so slow it seemed like it was always a roll of the dice.
Frederick B.

So beautiful. Beach is right there. Clean not a lot of people. Feels very private beach. Sunset is gorgeous. August the owner is very easy to talk to. Even the most minor issue, he fixes it right away. We will always come here.

September 2022

If you are planning to stay in Kihei this is the place! Our family of four loved everything about this special place. The views can’t be beat….this property is oceanfront to the most beautiful beach. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai each morning drinking coffee and watching the sunrise, and didn’t miss a sunset! We loved being able to just walk across the street for anything we needed. Take out from coconuts was our favorite as well as the cinnamon roll place and açaí bowls at the shaved ice place! Karen was a pleasure to work with and made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. Don’t hesitate to book this property it won’t disappoint!

Had a wonderful stay in the Penthouse in Kihei. Perfect for a family of 9 ages 18 to 81. The property manager was extremely helpful and quick to reply anytime I had a request. Thank you Michael for everything. Check in and check out was easy. The bedrooms were large, clean and had everything youd need. The location is perfect. Not a busy area of Maui but close to a lot of good restaurants. Beach was steps away from the property and never crowded. Highly recommend staying here. You wont be disappointed. Mahalo Eric

This is our 2nd time visiting this rental property and 4th time in Maui. My family had an absolute blast enjoying our little vacation before school starts next week. The property accommodates our family nicely with the teens having their own separate bedroom and bathroom. Very spacious and has all the creature comforts of home. Big plus is the triple A/C units, one for each room. Slept like a champ in the king size bed and a/c on. Wife and family loves the convenience of location and can’t wait to go back next year.

August 2022

The location of this property was excellent, take the elevator down and you are on Kam II beach. The shared common area was a nice place to relax during the day and we enjoyed bouncing between the pool and beach. It was also a very walkable location. This was a great vacation for my small family. The only critical feedback I would give is that I don’t feel that the unit was remodeled as recently as what is described. In particular, the bathrooms could use a little touch-up. The unit itself was clean, however.
Joshua L.
August 2022

This unit was fantastic! Exactly as described. Very well stocked with everything we needed, including beach chairs and umbrella. Anita is a terrific communicator and shared everything we needed to know. Above all else, the location and beachfront access was spectacular. Just steps from the unit to the most amazing and uncrowded beach in the area. We’ll definitely stay here again the next time we vacation in Kihei.

This property is a well-stocked jewel. Could not ask for anything more. We used it as a base to explore all of Maui and I could not have picked a better place to come home to. The location is by the beach, easy walk to stores and restaurants. The complex is very well maintained. The apartment is quiet with gorgeous views and comfortable furniture. I don't want to keave!

This property was absolutely perfect for us as a couple, and we can’t wait to return with our teenagers (yes, I said it!). The unit was spotless and comfortable, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The beach chairs were a great bonus! The Hale Pau Hana property was everything it was promised to be! After our first evening there, we were already planning on returning with other families. The walkability of the neighborhood is another great amenity. August was a great host and made everything so easy. Highly recommend.

We loved our time in Maui and this property did not disappoint. We were proximate to everywhere we wanted to visit, had easy and close access to the beach, enjoyed the pools on the property, and took full advantage of the well-stocked condo. With two queen (king?) beds, this place works great for two couples or a family of four or less with children under 13. It's clear that the owners use the property too because it's so well stocked. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing location, with restaurants, natural food market and all you need for a fun time (snorkel set rentals, paddleboard rentals, bike rentals, etc) across the street. We did not have a car so this was very convenient. The condo was well stocked for cooking and the previous vacationers left beer and other goodies in the fridge. THANK YOU!
Annette A.
July 2022

This condo was a perfect, beautifully remodeled and maintained residence. Buzy area out front, all the walking/shopping/eating you could do if wanted, but for us, the big beautiful Ocean out the 2nd floor lani was hard to stay away from, for us to do anything else. Loved our time there and Anita was an amazing host!
Bernadette A.

Great location- easy walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach. I could hear the waves crashing while I went to sleep. Had everything we needed for a great stay.

July 2022

This condo was a great spot to begin our adventures in Maui! It was right on the beach with a balcony overlooking the ocean (and gorgeous sunsets), and within very easy walking distance to many great restaurants and shops in Kihei. The area was a bit noisier than we anticipated, as the beach and pool area was full of families and the other side of the condo faces a busy street, but everything quiets down pretty soon after sunset. Also, we like to sleep with AC running at night, but there was a timer that automatically shut it off after six hours. We totally understand wanting to conserve energy, but this did impact our sleep a bit. Overall, great space and location - Anita has everything you could possibly need in the condo and a great guide to the area.
Taryn A.

You will most definitely enjoy the home they have taken great care to create. From the smallest details of the makeup washcloth to the very detailed binder with suggestions of things to do and places to eat. Staying at this condo was truly one for the books!

I was a little worried in the beginning when planning this trip of a lifetime after reading some blogs which said “some” vacation rental sites prestage the property photos to make the rental appear larger, more beautiful, or closer to the beach than it really is, etc. This was absolutely not the case for Penthouse Maui. In fact, as beautiful as the property photos that are displayed on VRBO it is even more beautiful in person. Absolutely breathtaking!

The condo was wonderful for a family of four - two adults, a 7 year old and a four year old. The beach and pool were easily accessible. We could see turtles swimming as we watched from the lawn area - so exciting! The kids loved playing on the beach! Great location - near restaurants and grocery stores. We can't wait to return! A special thank you to Karen, the owner, for all of her help. Truly a fabulous stay!

Really was perfect. Great ocean view and very clean updated condo. It has ac which is nice and the beach area and grass/pool area is also really nice. I took a paddle board out fishing in the morning and there is a long reef going out for probably about a mile and there were lots of fish to catch. It’s partly protected from the wind for a little longer in the morning than some other parts of the beach. Overall super fun and the host was absolutely the best to deal with !

We had an amazing trip to Maui. August was extremely responsive and great to work with. The view was even better than the pictures portray, and a great location with restaurants nearby. The only thing to be aware of is A/c is only in the bedroom. With Maui breezes it was not a big deal, but there was one day where the living area was pretty warm. Overall, we would definitely recommend it and would not hesitate to rent from August again!

I cannot say enough good things about this rental or the owner, Anita! This condo is in the best location for exploring the whole island. You definitely get the Maui vibe in Kihei and not the big resort feel, which we loved. Especially after driving to the big resort areas! It has the perfect swimmable beach right out front and the best food spots nearby. Don't miss Miso Phat, Outrigger Pizza or South Maui Fish Company! Anita was the perfect host and communicated with me throughout the entire process! Highly recommend!!!

Aloha! We had such an amazing time at "The Penthouse Maui". Our family enjoyed the spectacular views, the easy access to and from the beach and every amenity thought of as we experienced the luxury and fun of one of the premier locations in Maui. Mary was available for every question or concern we had and made our vacation perfect. So many memories made that will last a lifetime! Mahalo nui lao, Rick

We spent a week here and loved it! The location is central to many things. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you may need. August was very accommodating - he made sure our pack-n-play would fit comfortably in the bedroom. Having 2 full bathrooms was a plus. The A/C in the bedroom was good for keeping us cool at night. We definitely would recommend to friends!

The unit is well furnished and equipped with all the amenities you need. It was clean and ready for us at check in time. As rented it was two adjoining units, but truly a penthouse. Great location if you want convenience to services and beaches.

Location for this unit is perfect, easy access to shops and the beach and also not to far of a drive from the airport. The condo it stocked with everything you could need on your trip, including all items for a beach day. Brittany was an excellent host, she provided us with ideas for activities to do with our 2 young kids as this was our first visit to Maui. Would definitely love to stay again!

Being on the beach was the most important factor in choosing the Penthouse. With young children it meant we could access the beach anytime, day or night. We loved the open floor plan of the condo, it enabled all of us to be together and enjoy the amazing views, including unforgettable sunsets.

I almost don’t want to write too good of a review because I don’t want this hidden gem to be unavailable next year! In all seriousness, great place and great location (especially with a young toddler)

From before check in to check out, Michael and Mary were awesome! Best vacation we have had as a family! 14 days - wonderful place for time together & space for time alone. The Lanai view was magical! The unit is so well thought out and the best stocked VRBO we have stayed in! We will stay again! 5 stars!
