Enjoyed the condo during our stay. The decor and the Hawaiian music on when we entered was a great touch. Pool and grounds were well kept and seeing the sea turtles feeding below was special. This is my last trip to Maui and it was perfect. Mahalo.

This was a very cute apartment and located in a great location! We loved the view of the ocean from the balcony! The power had went out for a couple hours during our stay one day. We were able to get in touch with the owners. They were quick to respond and was able to contact the property manager to assist. Turns out the whole street had lost power but the power company got it back on fairly quickly. No other issues! Would highly recommend!

Please be aware that the A/C is in the living room ONLY. It was very old and dirty. Upon arrival we had to clean the filter before use. The cool air did not reach the bedroom and with the high humidity level, made for very uncomfortable sleep. The windows and screens thrughout the unit were not secured and very dirty, I was not comfortable openeing them for a cross breeze.
The exterior premesis were immaculate and the location was central on the island. Easy access to all activites.
The unit was sell stocked with everything you need. It just needs a thorough interior cleaning (A/C; rug; drapes/tracks & windows).

We stayed with you off the recommendation of my sister-in-law's visit with you. She was very happy with her stay overall which led to us booking and staying in the same location. Very clean and perfect location to watch the turtles play every morning and evening. Wish we had more accessible beach, but the short walk brought the same experience. Look forward to our next visit!

We loved our stay in this ocean front condo. Very central location, close to airport and freeways. The condo was clean and had all listed amenities. Plenty of space for a family of 4. Best part is the lanai with gorgeous ocean views, and watching the sea turtles play in the waves right in front of us!

Great stay. The property was as advertised with a very communicative owner. Great A/C kept us cool each night except the attic room. The attic room bed was a little too solid as well. But overall a great stay, great location, great amenities.

This property was great for a week + stay! It was super easy to check in, the code worked without issues and to park you just filled out a card for a parking pass at the front desk. The property was clean, quiet, and in a great location! Views from the 2nd floor balcony were beautiful and we were able to watch the sunrise from it a few mornings. The little beach was less than a 5 minute walk away, and never crowded! The property also had enough towels, grill equipment, coolers, and beach toys/supplies for our entire stay. My only complaint was there wasn’t very many cleaning products available, such a disinfecting wipes or sprays, which was miner but would have been nice. Overall, a great stay and would definitely go back!

Nothing but great things to say about our stay at Maalea Banyans. Check-in/Out process was very streamlined, room was very clean upon arrival, and the management was very professional by being available at any time while leaving us to our peace and quiet at all times. Turtles to QUIETLY observe every evening without fail, friendly cats that will come spread love every now and then, sounds of the ocean less than 100’ from our patio day and night, and overall quiet environment to enjoy 24 hours of every day. Absolutely recommend to anyone visiting the island looking for peace and quiet with the best type of Island-feel you can get. First place we’ll be checking availability for from here on when planning trips to Maui 👌

Pros: Great unit with washer and dryer for longer stays. Close to the swimming pool and the beach for nice sunsets.
Cons: Doors are squeaky, cockroaches, bathroom sink and shower drain very slow and I've stayed here multiple times and it's still the same.
I'm here mostly for work but having slow drains when showering and using the sink is frustrating.
I hope these issues get cleared up. Otherwise a great place to stay.

It a 80 unit four story property with a elevator, this unit on the 2nd floor. Beautiful Oceanfront view of Kahoolavi, Molokini and So Maui. Heated pool and Spa, with Oceanfront BBQ's. The unit has a confortable queenbed, adequate air conditioning and ceiling fans in living and bedroom. It has a large washer and dryer and everything you would need for your stay.

I would def stay here again. Great and convenient location for all activities on Maui. The property is well maintained. Fun to see turtles in the little beach access by the condo complex. However if you are looking for a large sandy beach to swim/hang out on the beach area here is very small and rocky so you would have to drive or walk down the road to a more sandy beach but that didn’t bother us since we mainly explored the island. The sunrise is beautiful from the balcony. The condo has a washer/dryer which was great and included detergent which is really helpful to not have to pack for a week trip. There were also beach chairs, body board, beach towels, and ice chest which was helpful for a beach day. There is AC but it is in the living room so it gets a little hot at night in the bedroom since it’s in the back of the condo. Gail was very nice, provided great communication/information and was responsive. There is a nice little shopping area with restaurants within walking distance. We loved hanging out on the balcony in the morning and really enjoyed our time. Overall was a great experience and a great option.

We found this property to be perfect. Close to everything but in an area that was not busy. Sea turtles come up on the beach at night. The park at the end of the street gives you access to a great beach. The balcony view is outstanding. Gail was very responsive and helpful.

My fiancée and I stayed here for 4 days and we really enjoyed the place. The view is amazing and you will never get tired of it looking at it any time of the day. The place was super clean, check in instructions were clear and easy, and everything you need from cleaning supplies to beach chairs are provided. Super awesome place and host seemed thoughtful because of everything that was provided. Highly recommend!

Perfect location to explore rest of island. Aquarium within walking distance. Had a couple minor issues, management was right on it. Really should have handrails on stairway going up to upper bedroom and should have a pullout sofa bed that is a little more user friendly.

This location and condo are both terrific! Very comfortable condo with everything we needed. Location was superior - close to the marina, shopping, restaurants. We had a blast watching sea turtles (on the beach and in the water) and enjoyed a fun whale watching cruise. Really nice beach park a short walk away as well. When we come back to Maui, we will definitely stay here again.

The condo was a great home base for our multi generational group of 6. Melanie was very responsive to our questions and gave very clear and simple checkin/checkout directions.
The view was amazing, listening to the waves at night was pleasant and exploring the little beach was fun for the kids.
Location wise it was very easy to get most places in the island. Everything was 15-25 minutes away. There was however limited restaurants and shops nearby. We did find a great local pizza place at the harbor shopping center.

My husband and I love Donna's place because it's well situated in Kihei and you can see turtles and whales depending on the time of year. Has everything you could need for a great experience. We're coming back next year as well!

The condo presented exactly like the pictures. I love Maalaea because it's quiet, on the bay and really centrally located. We treated our son and nephew for their high school senior trip. They lived the lift room and having their own bathroom, the views, breakfast on the lanai and Maui never disappoints. It's walking distance to sugar beach, the aquarium, the harbor and a few shops and restaurants. Great spot!

Amazing stay at this condo! The location was ideal; quiet, centrally located, close to harbor & shops. Nice pool & relaxing hot tub. Loved the ground floor patio. Loved seeing the green sea turtles come up on the beach at night to sleep. Had everything we needed. Would absolutely stay here again.

My wife and I stayed seven nights in this unit. The views of the bay were amazing. The location was quiet and pristine. The apartment was beautiful and well appointed. It provided a centralized location which allowed us to get a leisurely start each day and yet accomplish all we wanted to see and do. The only challenge was that the elevator went out several times while we were there. They were fairly prompt in fixing the problem, but it became a repeated issue over the time of our stay. We would definitely stay here again. My wife had several communications with Gail, and she was so helpful each and every time.

Our stay at this Maui condo was truly memorable. Sitting on the 2nd floor balcony with stunning ocean views made this one of our best VRBO get aways ever. The condo was beautifully decorated and had absolutely everything we needed, including binoculars to see the whales. The beach was beautiful and the seeing the sea turtles was a real treat. Our host Gail supplied a welcome book that was full of wonderful tips, advice and information about the island. We took her advice and loved exploring Maui. I would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend this lovely condo to anyone visiting Maui.

Place was quiet, clean and as advertised. Sea turtles are visible every day just looking out your balcony. We rented a car for the trip and spent most of the time on the West beaches but this is a great place to stay.

Maalaea Banyans was for us a short term stay. It was our last days before returning to the mainland and served us comfort and quiet. The bed was cozy. The view from our lanai was beautiful. The location gave us easy access to West and South Shore points of interest. It was what we needed at the end of our ten day stay on Maui.

Perfect Location! Not in the middle of Hustle and Bustle of the Tourist Side. Close to the Marina for Excursions and Activities. Close to Local Flavor!! And Close to the Highway along the Coast ...a beautiful drive all the way to Kapalua!!! Turtles on the shore. Gorgeous Ocean and Haleakala Views!! We'll be back!!

It was a real treat to stay at this property. It is well appointed, I was excited to see they even had an Instant Pot for my morning oatmeal! Everything was as it was stated in the description. We loved seeing the turtles on the beach, and watching the whales from the lenai. Everything worked and we never had to use the A/C once. It was not only a breathtaking view it was a relaxing place to stay! We hope to stay there in the future.

The view was amazing and it was wonderful hearing the waves at night. Condo was immaculate upon arrival and the kitchen is well-provisioned. It was nice being between Kihei and Lahaina and there are a couple of restaurants within walking distance. We saw turtles and whales from the balcony (mid-March).
The couch and beds uncomfortable. The futon/frame was terrible. My 10yo son put the futon mattress on the floor. We ended up purchasing a twin memory foam from Walmart to put on top of the mattress.
It was quiet and peaceful at night.

My sister and I had the pleasure of staying at this property for 5 nights in March. The previous time we visited Maui, we stayed in Wailea, and found the location of this condo to be preferable due to its easy access to Kahului, Kaanapali, Kihei, and Kapalua. It was also very easy to get in and out of and parking was a breeze.
We appreciated having two separate bathrooms and sleeping areas so that we could both have our privacy.
Waking up to the amazing view was such a great way to start the day. Every day, we saw breaching humpback whales and sea turtles from the lanai. In fact, we took a whale watching tour and felt as though our view of the whales from our lanai was better!
The kitchen was well stocked, which allowed us to save some money by cooking some of our meals and eating leftovers.
The only drawbacks, which were small, were the noise from others walking past the window of the back bedroom which is located right off of the main walkway when you get off the elevator. And although there were window screens on the windows, when we opened up the windows to take advantage of the breeze and not have to use the AC, huge moths made their way into the condo. These were definitely not deal-breakers for us and we found ways to work around them.
We would stay here again when visiting Maui.

![Ma'alaea Oceanfront Condo 101]()
Overall the condo perfectly met my needs. It was well stocked and clean. It could use a little deep cleaning, but so can my house.
The AC kept the condo cool enough for March temperatures, but in summer it might be difficult to cool the entire unit comfortably for some people.
The location was ideal for me and the excursions I had planned. It was easy to drive into Kihei and Paia for meals, shopping and to start the Road to Hana trip or the drive to Haleakala summit. A few of my favorite places to eat were Kihei Cafe, Paia Fish Market, Three’s Bar and Grill, Seascapes there in Maalaea Harbor, Monkeypod, Kihei Food trucks, Huli Huli Chicken at Koki Beach, Moose McGillicuddy's and Hana Farms.
The real star of this condo is the view. It is absolutely amazing. During whale season you can see whales breaching and smacking their fins on the water all throughout the harbor. Be sure to bring binoculars and definitely plan to do the whale tour with PackWhale Foundation in Maalaea Harbor.

Loved spotting whales (seasonal) with the provided binoculars while eating breakfast from the balcony/lanai. Would book again based on "central" location and amazing views of the bay/ocean. Fairly direct view of the Molokini crater in the distance as well. Space is adequate, but it is a little on the "close quarters" side of things. Just be prepared for that and it will be fine. Our adult son thought the Hideaway bed was reasonably comfortable, especially compared to some other places we have stayed. The stackable washer dryer is great. Just be aware that it's located in the main bedroom closet and the dryer vent exhausts directly into the bedroom closet itself. Not a big issue if you start the dryer as you are leaving the condo for the day. It's fine to use when you are there as well, but the bedroom gets a little "musty". Unit Includes some beach chairs and snorkels. The window and portable AC units do indeed cool the place down. Helps to open the front and back doors when you get home for the day just to air things out before turning on the AC. The place worked great for our family of four! We would consider booking again.
