The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.
Most guests love Maui Banyan for its unbeatable South Kihei location. The resort sits just across the street from Kamaole Beach Park II, making sunrise swims, sunset viewing, snorkeling, and beach days effortless. It’s an easy walk to cafes, food trucks, and restaurants, and a short drive to Wailea, the airport, and island day trips—so it works well for both families and couples looking for a relaxed, highly walkable base.
The property has a friendly, resort-like vibe with two pools and hot tubs, spotless tropical landscaping, and plentiful, well‑kept BBQ areas. Many condos are updated, very clean, and thoughtfully stocked: full kitchens, in‑unit washer/dryers, beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards), and the common 1BR/2BA layout gets frequent praise for convenience. Lanais range from garden and Haleakala views to partial ocean vistas; top floors and garden‑side units feel especially peaceful. Hosts are often cited as responsive and accommodating, with smooth check‑ins and occasional late checkouts.
Do note this is an older, individually owned condo complex, so units vary. While many feel newly refreshed, others come off dated or need deeper cleaning or minor maintenance. A handful of guests reported tropical pests (cockroaches/ants), occasional hiccups with entry codes, spotty Wi‑Fi, or AC units that are loud, on timers, or only in certain rooms. Pool‑facing units can be noisier, quiet hours are enforced, and periodic maintenance or construction may occur. Some buildings (like T) have no elevator, and garage parking stalls can be tight. If these matter, choose a recently renovated unit with strong reviews, confirm stair/elevator access and parking details with your host, and you’ll likely have an easy, comfortable stay in one of Kihei’s best-located resorts.

Loved the place. It was perfect for our stay in Kihei. Close to beaches and shops. Very clean and we enjoyed the Ninja blender for smoothies and Acai bowls. We put that on the list of items to purchase when we get home:)

We loved staying at Pam and Glyn’s condo and would definitely stay here again next time we come to Maui. The unit was exactly as described in the pictures and was very well stocked with everything one would need. The kitchen had lots of appliances, cooking utensils, and bags / Tupperware for storage. We also enjoyed using the beach gear provided which included chairs, towels, boogie boards, coolers, umbrellas, and nice quality snorkel gear. We also loved sitting on the patio with the beautiful garden view and being a short walk to the pool and grills. The Kamaole beaches are also a short walk away and were a great place to snorkel and see sea turtles! Pam and Glyn were great hosts and clearly go above and beyond to make sure their guests have a comfortable stay!

Great condo. Had everything we needed and having two bathrooms was really nice. Would definitely recommend this unit and would not hesitate to stay here again.

The condo overall was great. There were a few things needing attention like rusty knives in the knife block, a moldy shower curtain, etc. the biggest bummer was that there were termites. We’re from the PNW so we’re familiar with pests like this and weren’t too bothered, but I imagine others might be more upset. They flared up specifically when running the shower. This was our second time in this specific unit and overall we had a good time. We love the Maui Banyan location.

It was especially nice that the owner responded to emails promptly. The site was clean and enjoyable. The pool area was well kept and a pleasure to be at. The condo was spacious, and importantly, the beds were comfortable. The only suggestion would be to include a few more essentials in the kitchen, like plastic wrap and tin foil. All said, we're looking forward to returning!

We loved the area so much, it was so nice being so close to the beach and stores. We had some issues with getting in when we first got there, but it was a total mistake and Zach 1000% made up for it. We cannot wait to come back to Maui someday and would for sure stay here again.
June 2026
The location was great, right outside of Kam 2. Jamie was wonderful to deal with, and the property was very much as described. We would definitely come back.

The property is very well located, good swim beaches very close. Restaurants are very close by. The room was as described and comfortable. One note would be to have at least a one day supply of coffee just for the first morning before you can hit a store. The room had all necessities for your days at the beach, parking is plentiful and no additional fees. Overall the host was helpful when we had WiFi issues, it was resolved with one brief call, and they were very friendly and helpful. The neighbors were very quiet and respectful the facility staff was also very nice and friendly. Overall all very nice trip with no issues. We would consider staying here again. Aloha and Mahalo.

We have stayed at this property a few times and Dans condo was a great location on the property. We appreciated the portable crib for our son and the sunset view from the lanai at this condo was amazing every night. The condo was also very well stoked with household items we needed during our stay. We love the Maui banyon and how much there is to do in a walkable distance.

We really enjoyed our stay at this studio. It was exactly as advertised and had everything we needed to feel comfortable throughout our visit. The location was very convenient, with plenty of restaurants and entertainment nearby, and the beach was just a short walk across the street. We especially enjoyed the nice view from the lanai and appreciated having access to the two pools on the property. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we would definitely come back.

We loved this place! It was quiet, peaceful, and clean. The beaches across the street from the property were amazing. Lots of great places to eat are in close proximity to the condo. The beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie board, and beach towels provided in the condo were in excellent condition and added to our beach days. The pools were nice and great to have a designated parking space too. A very easy checkin process and host communication is excellent. Mahalo!

Maui Banyan is a very well operated and maintained rental accommodation. Grounds were well maintained and all the surrounding flora was a great nature environment. The location was excellent as it's just a block from Kamaole Beach II. The rental I stayed in was clean and well furnished. The kitchen was fully stocked and even had basic seasonings in the cupboard so it was easy to prepare my own meals. The washer and dryer there was very convenient and there was even detergent there so I didn't need to buy any. 2 full bathrooms was a big plus and they have shampoo, body wash and conditioner already. Bed was very comfortable and it was quiet at night so I could sleep well. There were beach chairs, umbrella, 4 wheel wagon to transport items, beach towels and 2 boogie boards so you can use all of that at the beach which is great. AC worked well which was very nice in the warm weather. Host communicated well using email and text and I had no problems with check in or check out. Parking deck always had open spaces so it was nice to park the car without hunting for a space. I highly recommend Maui Banyan!

Some kitchen utinsels are rusty and upon check in we were told to park in the back to bring our luggage to the unit. It was not ideal since we have heaby luggage. We could have unload our luggage infront of the office which near the elevator before parking in our designated parking stall. Other than that, everything went well and love that the bedroom has aircondition. If anyone who are familiar with the property its walking distance to the beach and restaurant.

It was the absolute perfect stay! Condo was clean and had everything we needed. Check in process was easy and host is very responsive! The views of the beach from the lanai are breathtaking and the pool and hot tub being so close by was very convenient! Would absolutely stay again!

We stayed here for a week—The room was great for the two of us, plus a great location for walking to the beach and amazing food options. The parking garage feels safe and secure, which was an added bonus for us! ac is works very well and was a necessity for us as well. The pools were also nice and not super busy while we were here. Would absolutely stay again!

Another fantastic stay! This unit is clean, comfortable and has everything you need, including excellent AC and great beach essentials/toys. The host was friendly and very responsive and the view from the lanai was incredible! We enjoyed many peaceful mornings on the lanai watching the deer graze in the vacant lot next door and many breathtaking evenings watching the sunset over the ocean. This is the best unit we’ve stayed in at this property over the years, and it will be our first choice when we return. Also, overlook the previous reviews that say a coffee table is needed as the unit does in fact have a coffee table (I assume the host took those reviews to heart and added one). We had a lovely time!!

This condo was fantastic! The balcony was so great for coffee and to watch the axis deer in the lot next to us! Right next to the pool, right next to the best beach and food/ice cream. We stayed with our 3 kids and there was plenty of room very comfortable with all the amenities you need for a family vacation in beautiful Kīhei

It was perfect! The condo had all the essentials that we needed for our stay. A fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and bedding, and beach gear. My toddler had so much fun playing with the noodles in the pool. The place was very clean, the A/C worked great as did the ice maker in the fridge. We were grateful for the beach chairs and umbrella. The fold out couch was perfect for the kiddo. Everything was great. Truly the only thing that wasn’t perfection was the big TV volume. It would get really loud and then really quiet. Not a big deal since no one comes to Hawaii to watch TV.

We absolutely LOVED our stay in Maui! Jack was very easy to work with. His condo did NOT disappoint! Literally steps from the beach! We snorkeled, boogie boarded, and watched the sunset every day. Having beach chairs, towels, & umbrellas available were a bonus! The AC and ceiling fans in each room helped to cool off the condo for great sleep…the super comfortable king size bed helped too! There were several options close by (walking distance) to grab a bite to eat or get souvenirs. We loved that the town had a small town vibe. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Jack!

This rental was perfect for our Maui trip of 6 days. It was located perfectly between the two major beach spots. The condo was clean and exactly as advertised. Also, it came with beach towels, beach chairs, coolers and snorkel gear! Would highly recommend this place if you are not sure where to stay. About 40minutes from Laihana and 10 minutes from Wailea. There were two pools two hot tubs feet away from our stay. The beach is right across the street as well as coffee and restaurants. The host was tentative and allowed us to stay a little later past check in for our evening flight. Thank you again

Perfect distance from the beach. Short walk, and if you forgot something, only a few minutes to go back and get it. Plenty of towels, beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers.The kitchen was very well stocked. Did not have everything we needed to cook a meal. Property is very clean, and well managed.Mary responded to any questions, very promptly, and was excellent to deal with. Will definitely stay here again.

Our stay at this South Kīhei condo was fantastic! The unit was spot on—exactly as pictured on the VRBO website. Being on the top floor, it was incredibly quiet with an unobstructed view. The space was clean, updated, and very well-maintained. We really appreciated that they provided plenty of towels and enough paper products to get us through the week.The location is unbeatable: directly across from Kamaole Beach Park II and an easy walk to other beaches, shops, and restaurants. It’s also just a quick drive to Wailea or North Kīhei. We would definitely stay here again…Mahalo

This air conditioned south facing condo was perfect for our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed being able to use the lanai both in the mornings with coffee and in the evenings with the sweet breeze.

10 stars out of 5. The room was clean on arrival and comfortable for the stay. It's a beautiful property at a great location. The host was super accommodating with instructions for arrival/check in and a great list of things to do and see while on Maui. Definitely recommend and can't wait to return.

The room was perfect for what we needed. The elevator didn’t work when we initially arrived; however, it was fixed a day or two after we were there so it was a non-issue. The unit was clean, had everything we needed and more, and was centrally located - across the street from the beach, food all around. The AC worked great and the additional fans were nice. The road outside of the condo had been damaged by the recent floods, but there was an easy way around and this didn’t affect our experience.We would stay here again

Pools were great,room was clean and well stocked. Close to ammenities and good restaurants. Only drawback was that elevator was out of service for our entire stay which was a pain being on the 4th floor i.e. luggage etc

Beautiful, clean condo! Great views of the ocean, mountains and deer in the empty lot next to the complex. Well stocked with high end items. Extra paper goods were appreciated. The property was beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Bed and furniture were comfortable. Only two things missing were a screen door on the bedroom lanai slider and a full length mirror. We highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

My wife and I spent five nights and we really enjoyed the place. It was clean, updated, and the location was perfect. Barb was easy to get ahold of and very accommodating. The only downside was the elevator being out of order after the heavy rainstorms they got earlier. We normally don't mind stairs, but those 56 steps felt like 1000 steps after a long day activities. We had to make sure we had everything with us when we left the condo each trip to avoid having to walk back up the stairs. i highly recommend this place and look forward to renting it again next time we are in Maui.
