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.

Our family had so much fun. Great location. We could watch whales and turtles from the balcony. Great beds. Host supplied everything needed for a great trip with everything thought out and labeled.

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!.

The unit was very clean and stocked with everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable and welcoming. The view was incredible and we enjoyed having our coffee each morning on the lanai. We saw several whales from our room. We would definitely stay here again.

February 2025

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.

We saw many of the sights from Haleakala, road to Hana, north beach, Molekini Crater, great snorkeling and whale sightings right from our balcony.

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.

January 2025

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.
