We paid a higher price for our rental with Maui Banyan due to its close proximity to a beautiful beach. We expected the normal AirBNB type policies of cleaning like we are housekeeping but what was confusing for us is that the place has a cleaning service that preps the rooms for the next visitors so I'm not really sure why this policy is in force. Our unit was very outdated and not very functional for the $400/night fee. Our bathtub diverter was busted and since we arrived on a Sunday they "weren't able" to get a plumber there so one day had busted plumbing in one of the bathrooms. Overall the room wasn't very clean or well kept and the stack washer/dryer was rusted and in dire need of replacement. The owners really need to put some of that money back into this unit or stop renting it out. The gentleman that communicated with us was professional and helpful but fell short as far as taking care of issues in a timely manner OR compensating us for the unit not actually being ready for us. I will not stay with the Maui Banyan or any of the related properties again after this experience, there are far better places to spend our money.

We have stayed at the banyan before and always found it to be a great location to both Kihei and Wailea - this unit is nice because it has a view over the green space (we saw deer)!and a peekaboo view of the ocean - the kitchen had everything we needed. This building also has a elevator which is convenient too (not every building does)

We had 8 adults in the unit. Very comfortable. We are all fit, so the 3 stories without an elevator was ok. Nothing in pantry as far a cooking supplies or spices. We left a few behind for the next. Also left a nice mattress cover for the sofa bed ( increased the comfort level) Only negative was that the AC units don’t blow very cold.

Absolutely loved our stay at your wonderful condo. So many great touches, the comfortable bed, comfortable pillows, loads of kitchen utensils, cutlery, beach chairs and umbrella. So close to the beach and loved having 2 bathrooms. I will book again when next travelling to Maui.

Everything was just as we expected. The condo was lovely. Only complaint would be the size of the lanai. We like to hang out outside and it was a little tight for all of us. I know there is nothing you can do about that. One othe suggestion would be to update the cutlery. It was kind of cheap stuff. The rest of the kitchen was very well stocked. Beds wer w comfy. Had trouble figuring out the bedroom tv but not a big deal. Overall we were very happy with our stay

We love Kihei and this property's location was perfect. Right across from the beach and within walking distance of shopping and restaurants. We explored the island and could easily get where we wanted to go. It was a great family vacation!

We loved staying at Maui Banyan. Great location in southern Kihei and lovely views -- mountains in one direction and ocean in the other, with deer coming down to eat grass and leaves every evening.
We've stayed at many condos over the years, and this was probably the best in terms of how well its kitchen was equipped. We also appreciated the three beach chairs and umbrella (although the umbrella is on its last legs), and the fact we could do our own laundry in the unit.
Very comfortable king bed in the bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and the pullout sofa in the living room was better than most (our teen did not complain). There is AC in both rooms, but we only used it once -- the incredible evening breezes kept the place cool enough for us most of the time.
If you are visiting, my suggestion is to bring or buy some extra beach towels, as only one per person is provided.
The parking is on level 2 in the parking garage across the way (a walk up stairs), so use the option to park by the front entrance when you are unloading your luggage or groceries.
We would happily return to this condo.

We chose to stay at Maui Banyan (5 nights) because of its location, within walking distance to several popular beaches as well as a variety of restaurants. It’s a convenient spot from which we made several day trips to Paia area, Haleakala, Wailea, and Makena State Park. The condo (H 506) was comfortable, quiet, and spacious. We really appreciated having two bathrooms with showers. The décor was tasteful and all the rooms were very clean. The roomy, updated kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with all the tableware, cookware, appliances and utensils we needed. We really appreciated the convenience of having an in-suite washer & dryer, and having beach chairs, towels, picnic coolers to take to the beach.. However, we felt that the listing description of “breathtaking ocean views” was a bit overstated because although we could see the ocean in the distance from the balcony, it actually overlooks a large concrete parkade. Also, the bedroom didn’t appear to be recently updated and could benefit from a replacement of the mattress and pillows.The amenities (pool and barbecue area) were excellent, and the adjacent garden with tropical flowers and palms provided a peaceful place to relax. The grounds of Maui Banyan are beautifully landscaped and well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay. Mahalo!

This condo was very well maintained and clean upon arrival. All the necessities in the kitchen were provided, as well as clean linens, beach towels and bathroom towels. There were beach chairs and coolers also to use, which was so helpful for our trip! The check in and check out process was so easy! The host had great communication with us through check in and check out. The building was very quiet and I never heard anyone else around us! It is so conveniently located across the street from the beach, we frequently walked to watch sunset then walked down the road for dinner afterwards! Definitely would recommend staying here, and would stay here again myself!

The condo was nice. The owners gave very clear instructions for our stay. The walls seemed pretty thin between our unit and the unit beside us. There wasn’t anything that the owners could do about it. Thankfully, the people beside us weren’t too loud. The only other issue was the bathroom pocket door didn’t close all the way and didn’t lock. This wasn’t an issue for us because it was just our family but I could see it being an issue for others. The location was great, being right across the street from the beach and the pool was close to the unit.

After I booked this vacation a few days later the Owner/Hist contacted me to advise that he forgot that the tenants on the property were given a late checkout(6:00pm instead of 3:00 pm) he advised he would compensate us but the room would not be cleaned until the next morning. The cleaning service did not do a great job. Then I found that the two window air conditioners had what appeared to have black mold spores in the vents. The air conditioners were blowing out a horrible odor which smelled like fish. I researched why it would smell of fish and the reason Found was due to bacteria and mold. Due to health issues I decided not to turn on the units because I did not want to breath black mold. Owner/ Host was contacted and advised I could not use the air conditioning because of the above stated reasons. Owner/ Host apologized but stated he did not know what to do for me, he did not offer to find other arrangements for me and my wife. Owner/ Host wanted to bring up the fact that I had gotten such a great rate and if I could find another place within the same property he would refund all of my money. Owner/Host then called me back and stated that the prices are a lot higher than what we paid and that I would never find a place for the same price. I looked on Vrbo for the same area but there was no availability. Owner/ Host did offer to refund one nights fee and the cleaning fee. I refused that offer and told him I wanted at least 2 nights fees . There is no more room to finish

We had a beautiful vacation in Kihea. Our stay in Jamie's property made it perfect. My parents are in their 80's. The location of the condo made our activities easy and accessible. Close to the pool and close to the parking lot. Also, the condo itself is beautifully updated and having 2 separate bedroom suites with bathrooms made our stay very comfortable. The condo was equipped with EVERYTHING you could possibly need. I would definitely stay here again if we come back.
