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.

Prior to our January stay in the Maalaea Banyons condo 104, I had looked at listing again and read recent reviews. One said dryer was not working or present. I contacted the owner via VRBO message to inquire about new dryer and was told it would be delivered before our visit.A day or two before our visit Mgmt company let me know was still a problem, so they offered to pick up our laundry weekly and provide a discount to price of stay. This worked, and then dryer delivery scheduled during our stay so we could do our own wash/dry. We also told them of other issues: dishwasher not properly installed so tips forward when loading; ants and roaches in unit; insufficient cleaning equipment (no broom, cleaning rags, cleaning supplies not labeled so not sure of use/purpose). Mgmt company staff very nice and helpful, but this was not as pleasant of a stay due to these issues. We were staying 3 1/2 weeks and supplies were inadequate quantities so they brought us more.

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!.

We needed three bedrooms and this was a good place for the price we paid. Halls & stairs could use more lighting and we couldn't find an operating manual. TV (especially) and the coffee pot were trial & error, but overall, the unit was clean and we liked being able to walk to the Ocean Center, Maalaea Harbor stores, and the beach.

We had a great stay here. The condo was comfortable, spotless and had all the necessities and amenities we could need. The view was fabulous from the balcony, which is difficult to get in Maui at a reasonable price. We loved the location…very quiet, and a close drive to the airport, restaurants and beaches. The communication with the owner was excellent before our arrival. Also, Gail went out of her way to help us after we left some belongings accidentally, sending them to our home. We definitely recommend this condo and would stay here again.

Condo is on a quiet street and close to a public beach and wharf. Location is fairly central to the island for visiting tourist attractions. It is also near the airport and unfortunately you can hear planes coming into land over the building. Roosters are annoying in the morning! Voices really carry when people are in the pool and hot tub. The grounds are well kept. You can view whales from the deck. Kitchen was well stocked and all appliances in good working order. The place could use a deep clean.

This condo was smaller than we are used to, even tho it can sleep 6 people in beds. The rooms were small and there is no privacy because of the construction of the condo. The bedroom on the main floor did not have a ceiling that went wall to wall; there was an open space that went directly to the 2 bed space upstairs. We had to turn lights off in our bedroom so as not to send light upstairs when others were sleeping. Same for talking. No talking that couldn't be heard directly by anyone else. The loft bedroom upstairs and over the livingroom had no privacy or way to block light. That wasn't clear from the info given about this condo. The hallway from the door to the kitchen & living space is very narrow. Kind of like an aisle on the airplane, It was a single person hallway. We had to follow in a line and wait at one end if someone was coming from the other end. It felt very cramped. Also, the door to the lanai broke and wouldn't slide all the way shut. It left a space big enough for a person to come in. A repairman was sent and he did what he could but he was at our condo 2 days in a row trying to correct it. We were able to close the door eventually. We had to call about the bugs that showed up in the kitchen. Roaches. They sprayed and after a few days we had no new roaches show up. The kitchen is a one-man space. Short and narrow. Again, we had to wait our turn to get to the fridge if someone was at the stove. The hot water in the kitchen was barely warm and had no pressure

This condo had everything we needed for our 12 days on Maui this January. It is super clean and the air conditioner works really well. There is a unit in the living room and in the bedroom. We watched whales and turtles from our lanai every day. The pool, hot tub and grill are never busy and have an ocean view. The beach park at the end of the street is perfect for a long beach walks. It’s like having your own private beach. The property manager Tom is very helpful and nice. This condo complex is centrally located on the island and close to the harbor and shops five stars we will be back.

Rental is equipped with everything needed for our stay.We would walk to ocean through the small gate and watched green turtles which came to shore in the evenings.Location was the best, easily drivable to all places around Maui.View best and even though you don’t have direct acces to the beach thru the gate from the pool area the nearest beach was 5 mins walk from the property,Would love to stay again at this property in the future.

Our stay was very nice at the Ma’alaea Banyans. If you’re traveling with a baby, just note the AC doesn’t reach the back bedroom cool, so pack a fan or have the baby sleep in the living room. Overall the place was nice and seeing the turtles in the bay every day was a bonus.

The condo has great views of the ocean and was the right size for two people. I was grateful for the beach accessories provided like a cooler, snorkel gear, and lawn chairs. The condo had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay including most kitchen tools. The bedroom and bed were comfortable and had plenty of storage. Some of the things that I thought could be better was the cleanliness of the floors, as I noticed my feet getting dirty quickly after walking barefoot the first night. I also noticed ants when we left an empty pizza box on the counter. The shower only has half a glass wall so water was getting on the floor and wall unless you placed a mat right up to the corner of the shower entrance.

This is a great place to stay. For January it was quiet and peaceful without crowds of people. Its a smaller condominium and we liked that. You do have to drive to everything but that was not a problem either since people need to get out and explore the island anyways. The only thing I could suggest is softer mattresses, but that is a personal preference too.

Condo has e arching we needed, was close to both the south and north towns, as well as the road Hāna. Had a nice pool and hot tub as well as a great place to grill outside. There is no beach at this location but there is a public beach just down the road. If you are looking for a walk out beach attached to the property this is not for you. The wife and I didn’t spend a lot of time at the condo other than to sleep, we were on the go all week so this was a perfect location between.

Honestly, staying here was the best decision we could have made. It's a nice, central location on the island. Its tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Kihei, but trips there and the other towns packed with restaurants and shopping were a quick trip. Take advantage of the beach at Haycraft Park at the end of the street! The condo was clean and comfortable with a spectacular view! It was a perfect place to stay!

This condo was quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of tourists & shops (what we wanted). Beach was just out front. A little windy on that side. But it was a good location for exploring east Maui. It was clean with amenities.

This was everything we were hoping for and more. Sea turtles and breaching humpbacks in sight from our balcony. Comfy beds (and hide-a-bed!). Water and dryer. Super super clean Located in quiet part of town but easily accessible. The ability to cook our own meals, when we were tired of eating out, was great too.
December 2024
Really nice apartment with everything you need right next to the ocean. There is a private beach where you can watch sea turtles come to the shore at night and another larger beach in walking distance that isn’t too crowded. Also great location when you want to explore the rest of the island. Already miss the sound of the waves at night

The condo is very beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you might need.Having beach chairs and umbrella was very useful.The lanai offers amazing views of the ocean and we spent quite a lot of time enjoying the scenery in the mornings and evenings. That is definitely something we’ll remember for a long time.The location is superb! We really enjoyed the Haycraft beach park that is only few minutes walking away from the condo! The beach doesn’t get crowded and has really calm water to swim in. We discovered that beach following Steve and Gail’s advice.The hosts are very nice and provided us with all the needed information well in advance. Thank you Gail and Steve for making our trip unforgettable! We’re definitely going to come back! :)

This place was great! If it lacks anything it might be the size but for 4 of us it was comfortable. Beds were all comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. The view is extraordinary, and we would see 10-15 turtles every day from about noon to sunset. We were within walking distance to where all the boat tours seem to come out of, a couple good restaurants and the aquarium as well. The host was fantastic as well and the check in process is super easy. This was a fun place to stay for sure, so enjoy Maui.

Our vacation to Hawaii was great and our accommodations matched the online description. However, there seems to have been a management change at maalaea banyans, as the on site manager was a stickler for enforcing pool rules, which essentially bans kids (no loud voices, no jumping, no floatation devices). The unit having beach toys, pack and play and other kid amenities is misleading when the manager prohibits kid behavior. We limited our time at the pool with our 4 year old because of it. This hasn’t been as issue in the other 2 times we’ve stayed at this building. While the unit was clean (sheets, towels etc) there were cockroaches in the kitchen on several occasions.
