Had a wonderful 6-day stay on the ocean. Pictures an accurately depict the location. Was very quiet, which is what I was looking to experience. Very nice by the ocean, with easy turtle watching, even from our balcony. Nice lawns and beach is very close. Very happy with our choice.

Our stay here was nothing short of amazing. Where I do think that some of the decor could be updated along with the listing. This was a perfect location. We walked down to the harbor multiple times and it was maybe 10 min walk. The listing should be updated because where I worried that there was not chairs for the beach, etc. there are lots of extras that are not listed. I went out to the private beach every morning and said hello to the sea turtles. I went out one night and there was 17 on the beach. This unit does not have central air so it is running off a window unit and a unit in the bedroom but they worked great when we needed them.

We loved our stay at this condo. It was perfect for us. The owners provided excellent instructions and quickly responded to our questions. The condo is located in a quiet area of South Maui. We appreciated that loads of restaurants and many other beaches - south, west and north - were only 15-30 minutes away. The unit, building and grounds are pristine. And the ocean-side pool/jacuzzi/lawn area was particularly inviting.The unit is fully stocked with every appliance, cooking utensil, and supply one needs for a beach getaway. (We loved that a vacuum and broom were on hand to always keep the floors free of sand). To top it off, the strong tropic breezes meant we never had to use the air conditioner. We wouldn’t hesitate to rent this unit again and will refer others here. Mahalo to the Weber’s!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location - close to other famous beaches, on waterfront where we could see turtles swimming in the “backyard,” balcony area opens up to waterfront, and very close to the airport. We rented a car so everything very accessible. We didn’t use pool or hot tub which are in the smaller side. Place itself was cute and spacious and was nice to have fridge and microwave. Great to have your own room and bathroom also. Overall enjoyed this place!

This apartment has a fabulous location. The view from the balconey where we had our morning coffee was worth every penny. It is located on the National whale conservancy area but it was too late in the season for us the magnificent creatures have migrated north. We did see some turtles swimming around in these waters. The flowering trees around the property are gorgeous too and the hot tub is a welcome addition after a strenuous hike.

We would highly recommend this property for it's quiet location, but central to Maui. Best for 2 people as it is fairly small. We enjoyed watching the turtles at every incoming tide.

The property grounds and views were spectacular and well maintained. Unfortunately, the interior description/pictures are misrepresented. Main room furnishings have been changed and the vanity and sink in the bathroom are not as pictured.

We had an excellent time! Everything was as advertised. Gorgeous location and very quiet and peaceful. Only downside is that while we were there the building was under construction for a new elevator so there was limited parking and quite a bit of space taken up by the construction

We really enjoyed our stay. The view from the deck at all hours of the day never got old. We also discovered that the location was centrally located and provided opportunities to walk to 2 or 3 really nice restaurants.Hard to leave!

April 2025

We really enjoyed the place overall. Check in was straightforward/smooth.It is helpful to be aware that the pull out couch is in the main living area and that there is no window covering for the sliding glass door in that room, so if you are sensitive to light this could affect you. We are early risers anyway so it wasn't a big problem.The place had everything we needed during our stay, and even had beach chairs and a cooler!There was a bit of a delay when trying to contact someone for questions toward the end of our stay. We did also feel that the instructions for check out were incomplete, and wished they were more clear with check out expectations i.e. the check out e-mail didn't really say we needed to do anything other than be out by 1000 but when I asked they said yes, we should take out the trash.Really beautiful location/condo and overall would recommend.

Great place amazing views. Just enough room for 5.Only minor complaints were the 3rd bedroom is very hot and the washer and dryer made our clothes smell moldy but other than that it’s an amazing place to stay.

Beautiful property with a great location!! You’re only 20-30 minutes to locations like Paia and Kaanapali. The apartment was clean/updated, the beds were comfortable, the patio view was incredible (we saw whales and turtles while drinking our coffees!). Highly recommend and would book again!

This rental is great if you are looking for a central location to explore multiple areas of the island but would like to come back to a quiet condo. The view from the lanai is fantastic and we enjoyed watching the turtles. If you are traveling soon, please note that the elevator listed under accessibility is currently being replaced and you will need to use the stairs to get to the top floor.

Check in and out with ease. Perfectly located on South Central side of island made seeing all areas of the island a reasonable driving distance. Parking included was a Great plus as well. Maalea Harbor hosts many great activities and restaurants and is walkable. Wonderful stay. Mahalo!!!!

The condo was very nice nicely stocked with everything you need. The only problem was it was not mentioned in the listing, and not mention by the rental agency that elevator was not working my wife has bad knees we were on the fourth floor. She has sustained more injury to her knees, going up and down the stairs I will be seeking compensation through my attorney since management would not return my calls or emails on this manner. coldwell Banker property management is just in for the money. They will be losing a lot of money now when I get done.

The property was centrally located. It allowed us to easily explore all areas of Maui. The unit was very clean & well maintained. It was perfect for 2 adults. We enjoyed the gorgoeous ocean view from our lanai as we watched for whales. We especially enjoyed our daily trips to the small beach area to watch the Hawaiian green sea turtles come onshore. We would definitely recommend staying here.

When we first arrived the elevator was broken and they knew that and failed to inform us before we arrived. They should have given us the option of a refund if we wanted one because the listing said elevators. What if we couldn't do stairs. The drawers in the kitchen were broken and would fall out. The sliding door barely opened and only with some force and wouldn't lock. We informed the management of all of these things when we first arrived and all they wanted to do was send someone over to look at the sliding door. We refused since this was our vacation. It was centrally located and was mostly clean except for the furniture, curtains. pillows both on the couch and bed. If we could have gotten our money back when we told them about all of these issues we would have went somewhere else. But to spend over 3000 and not get any money back isn't something we could afford..I wouldn't not stay there again.

Unparalleled views of the ocean, subtle colours of sunset reflected off Haleakala, whales frolicking, turtles visiting each evening - who could ask for me in this fabulous, peaceful location. The condo is well equipped, clean and comfortable. ITrip’s management team is responsive and shares the spirit of Aloha with guests.

Everything as advertised, and in the pictures! But 20 worth of non slip tape in the shower would help us old people feel safer! Otherwise a homerun!,

Our stay here was enjoyable with some disappointment. First thing that hit us was the fact that there is no working elevator and either hasn't for some time or never was. For us, that's a challenge given this unit is on floor three, we had two 50 lbs bags, and sprained my ankle day two of our trip. So, color our comments accordingly. It was never mentioned by the owner. The unit itself was very nice albeit a bit cramped even for two. What we appreciated was it was clean, the washer/dryer was great, the kitchen had some things still in it like salt & pepper, coffee, sugar, and even some things from I'm sure other guests that we don't mind having left-over of - like honey, sugar-cinnamon, tea, etc. There is no beach here but the view in the morning is wonderful from the lanai and yes, we could see sea turtles around the rocky point below and whale spouts out in the bay. The building is older but reasonably maintained. The pool, hot tub, and lawn area are really nice. In all, we enjoyed our stay here and despite the elevator challenge, we do think it worked out okay. Would we come back - probably not.

Overall had a great vacay at this condo. The location was perfect for us as centrally located and easy to get to different parts of the island. It is a very quiet area and beautiful quiet beach within minutes walk. We enjoyed eatching the ehales and turtles from the deck each morning and evening which was a nice feature. The condo served its purpose while a few small items could have been checked prior to pur visit such as making sure drains were working but the management werw quick to repolspond and addesss.

Grounds very well kept with nice quiet pool. Building is a bit dated and starting to show its age. Condo could use an update but was clean and provided enough necessities for cooking and adventures. Not much for water access but great views none the less.

This was the most stocked condo that we have stayed at in Maui. We have been there many times and stayed in Maalaea Village. The Banyans has always been a favorite as we go for 3 weeks and it has its own washer and dryer. We highly recommend this condo. The owner is very nice and good to work with.

We booked this condo to be at waters edge to watch the whales. Armed with a small set of binoculars, they gave us a show almost 25/7. The grounds were well maintained and loved the updates bbq pits. The location is super convenient to everything on the island especially the airport. The condo was very clean but frankly a little tired and dated. The bed and couch needs upgrading.

The location was perfect. The complex was right next to a beautiful and calm beach. It was located near or a short drive from all the major sights to see. It was a less crowded area providing much peace to enjoy the beauty and nature of Maui. Our host provided so much we wouldn’t have thought to bring. As well as simple things such as laundry detergent and paper towels. It was like a family member had prepared our stay for us rather than an host. A lot of care was put into our enjoyment while staying at this location. Our host was incredibly responsive and attentive. We had the best time!.
