This Blue Sky Escapes Studio Beachside condo/Walkout to Hot tub, Pool and BBQs
My studio condo is located in the perfect location on the ground level walk out from the patio directly to the pool and BBQs for poolside dinning and right across the street to a beautiful white sand swimming beach Kamaole Beach II. It is one of the only studio units in the whole complex that has its own washer/dryer.
The set up was very similar to a hotel room. Being at the front of the property made for great access to walk across the street to the beach or on down the road for libations. Also very close to the pool. I personally found the bed to be hard and the pillows flat but my friend had no complaints. I do wish the outdoor furniture was more comfortable to enjoy. Overall it was perfectly fine and i would stay here again! Aloha!
A safe, clean place to sleep comfortably at night was all we needed for our 10day trip in Maui to go well. If you plan to sleep donât book til the bed is replaced, and donât book for a honeymoon. The ultra sheer curtains reveal all and the worldâs most unsupportive bed will give your chiro nightmares while warding off any hope of Maui-inspired romance. The AC has a sign on it saying 72F is the lowest you can go so it remains humid and hot in the room. Hopefully the bed, curtains and window AC get upgraded.
Aside from the inability to sleep, most everything else about the site is great, including location, accessibility, and you do feel safe in the area. There is ample parking and is easy to find. Regarding price, the nightly fee is excessive for such a small room, unfortunately this is typical.
This is our second stay at the Maui Banyan, and I can't say enough about the convenience of the property - a very short walk to the beach, and extremely close to restaurants and other services. This particular unit has been nicely updated, and especially appreciated is the well stocked kitchenette and washer/dryer, a definite upgrade for a studio condo unit. The TV/cable package is top notch, and the unit is just steps away from the lovely pool area. We would definitely recommend this unit and its responsive owner. Thank you Steve!
Property is located to excellent amenities (onsite pool, ocean and restaurants, shopping & golf).
New tv, new coffee maker ⊠nice to have washer/dryer in unit!
My husband and I stayed here for 10 days while on our honeymoon. It was perfect for what we needed! Close to shops, restaurants and beaches and only steps from the pool and BBQ area. The property owners were very responsive when the wifi was down and the check in process was flawless! Highly recommend this property for two people.
I had a wonderful time. Beach, shops, restaurants all within walking distance. Easy place to be picked up for rides to places farther away. Lots of cooking / kitchen supplies.
Very sweet studio that has plenty of room and all the supplies needed. Kitchen and towels well stocked. Really loved having a washer/dryer in the unit. Barely a block to beach and restaurants. Only thing is the bed was a little too soft for me. Thank you!
This condo had everything I needed to be comfortable on my vacation. It was steps to the pool, and a block to the beach. Walking distance to stores and restaurants. First floor, but private area.
1) The wardrobe cabinet is too short inside. I could not hang dress shirt in there without the bottom 4-6" folding and getting wrinkled. I don't know how a woman would hang a dress in there.
2) Went to iron my shirt and there was no water in Iron and no distilled water that I could find.
3) They should tell people to unplug router before they leave then plug it back in when you get back because if you don't you'll have to do it anyway. I realize internet service in Hawaii is crappy(per my 2 friends that live on Maui).
This was our second time staying at the Maui Banyan and we love the location. The pools and hot tubs are great. The BBQ areas by the pools are ideal for cooking meals and the covered eating areas are great as well. Our only complaint about our unit was the air conditioner. It was extremely noisy and the fact that it was not to be used at less than 72 degrees meant that our room was warmer than we would like for sleeping. The access to the outside at ground level was also ideal.
My girlfriend and I had a great time spending 3 nights in this unit! The space, while not enormous, is more than adequate for a couple. Thereâs a pool in the condo complex, and the building is right across the street from a beach. Itâs in a very central location in Kihei, so itâs easy to walking distance to a variety of beaches in Kihei and a short drive to Wailea and Makena. We would stay again.
We had a great time in a very convenient location. Tamara and Steve's place met all of our expectations and we were able to really enjoy Maui on our budget.
We knew it was a smaller unit, more like a hotel room. That didn't bother us. We found the AC unit to be extremely effective by adjusting the settings, taking it off auto and eco modes to get continuous AC. Works really good if you know what you're doing. The patio was nice in the morning drinking our coffee. Having laundry in the unit was a freaking dream. Loved that. I echo a previous review concerning a musty smell in the bathroom. There is no way to turn on the fan if it even works. In my opinion it smells like the shower drain isn't properly vented and it stinks in a weird way. Since the fan doesn't work there seems to be evidence of mold on the ceiling. I'd love to stay there in the future or wholeheartedly recommend as long as that issue is resolved. Honestly that's the only down side. For this reason I gave less stars on cleanliness and only 4 stars overall. It really is a beautiful condo and is in a great location with clean, secure grounds.
Nice people. Air conditioning not adequate during daylight hours, older unit. Television outdated and unreliable. Took two remotes to accesses the menu and guide and then you had to continuously repeat the process. Great shower. Close to restaurants and bars/activities
This place is amazing, convenient, and super comfy. The mattress melted your whole body and the had everything youâll ever need in a condo. Yes we canât wait to return. Al our love McK & Wayne Duran
I lived on Maui for 30 years. Both my children were born and raised there and I bought this condo in 2012. I started on VRBO in 1998 with my first vacation rental condo. I later bought at the Maui Banyan for its great location. I was a firefighter for Maui County for 20 years and retired in 2021. Please feel free to ask any questions about the island if you need assistance with anything. I am an avid water sports enthusiast and (windsurfing, wing foiling) and I love to snow ski.
Maui Banyan is located directly across from Kamaole Beach II a beautiful white sand swimming beach and walking distance to many nice restaurants and shopping. You can drive to seven more great beaches in 5 minutes or less.
The walk out location to the pool, hot tub and BBQs are a real plus but especially only a few minutes to get to the beach walking. You don't have to drive a car to get to a great beach.
