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.
We were so happy to return to Maui this year and to the Maâalea Banyans property. This unit is perfect! Clean, comfortable, convenient location. Plenty of whale activity right outside our patio daily! We didnât want to leave! Looking forward to returning next year! Mahalo nui loa, aloha and a hui hou!
We enjoyed staying at the condo very much. It was clean and located right in front of the ocean. We loved watching the turtles, the moon and the starts from the balcony. We also loved swimming in the pool and relaxing in the jacuzzi.
We love Maalaea because of its central location and the view from most units is A+. We saw whales, turtles and fish from our lanai within the first 5 minutes of arrival. We were staying for 14 days so chose this unit for the price compared to others. Other than the bed which I believe to be a double not a queen size and the clothes dryer which was difficult to use because the dial was broken, the unit was comfortable. Itâs well stocked with dishes, towels and linens but didnât have good beach chairs or boogie boards.
The unit is in a great location. Itâs a quiet escape from the busier areas of the island.
The unit recently sold to the current owner who is planning an update very soon. It needs an update. The kitchen and bathroom were nice and had everything we needed. The unit needs a fresh coat of paint throughout, new flooring to replace the carpet, and new furniture throughout. Though clean, the unit is just outdated and the furniture and A/C unit is ready for replacement. The âmillion dollar viewâ canât be beat. Itâs direct oceanfront. We saw turtles and whales every day from our balcony. The unit has beautiful grounds, pool, hot tub, and grilling area. The location is ideal for a quiet, serene atmosphere yet itâs located within easy walking distance to a nice beach park. The Maui Ocean Center, Beach Bumâs Restaurant, a convenience store with gasoline, and Maalaea Harbor. Other attractions, beaches, restaurants, and groceries are within short driving distance. We enjoyed our stay and will not hesitate to re-book with Carolyn. Iâm pretty excited to see what she does with this condo.
The condo is the best location on the island so many reasons. 1. Itâs away from the bustle of Kihei. 2. Lahaina is close by. 3 The Iao Valley is close by. 4. The beach at the end of the street where the condo is located is my favorite on the island. 5. The whale watching was fabulous. 6. The sea turtles hung out right in front of the condo!

Because of the way Maui is geographically laid out, visitors staying in other areas will spend a large part of their time in the car. We chose Maalaea Banyans because it is centrally located to all other island activities and points of interests. We want our guests to spend their time enjoy what the island has to offer instead of in their car. Moreover, Maalaea is well known for being the feeding grounds for migrating whales. Our guests will have front row seats for whale watching without having to leave their lanai.
Guests who book with us will have access to our personal contact info AT bookings, at each of our properties we have assembled of team of property manager, housekeeping and maintenance who can take care of all your needs within hours.
