We thoroughly enjoyed our first time to Maui! Largely due to this place s a home away from home. It was everything we needed and wanted. Thank you!!

For our first family vacation in Hawaii on our own, we’d all say it was a success. We really enjoyed the condo, and the location, everything was smooth and we hope to be back next year.

Communication with the owner was very good. My only comment was the unit did not have a cooler or cooler bag to take your food to the beach or a road trip, it would have been nice to have one, so you will need to buy or bring your own. I did ask the owner and he did not provide one. There was only two beach towels; however, plenty of dishes, cookware and flatware.

I found the place to be nicer than the photos would make it seem. Spacious and clean with a comfortable king bed in the bedroom. The large doors open to the lanai which is more than adequate for breakfast while taking in ocean views. The Maui Banyan complex is nice and well maintained. Kids liked the pool (there are two identical pool areas) and hot tubs. You are right across from a fantastic beach. Walk a little south and you are at some good snorkelling spots with turtles, fish, and colourful reefs. Unit is close to the elevator/stairs, two flights down to the office and pool. Would stay again.

My husband and I stayed a week and really enjoyed the condo. It’s just right across the street from the beach (beautiful sunsets) and so close to restaurants and shopping. The condo was clean and 2 bathrooms is perfect for us. We would definitely stay here again!

Condo was clean, quiet, updated and very well stocked. Bed was great. I was told it is scheduled for new paint after we leave. A fresh coat of paint will make it even better. Beach and some restaurants are in walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.

Our overall stay was good; however, we had some problems with checking in late at night and our designated parking stall was taken and there were no “free” stalls left. So we ended up having to park down the road and around the corner. Front staff were “unsure” what to do with the vehicle the next morning when we talked to them. I ended up having to contact the condo owner. Eventually, it was moved. There was no cooler in the room so we ended up buying a small one and leaving it there. Also had to ask for more toilet paper a week before the end of our stay and we’re denied so ended up having to buy more rolls than what we needed. They were adamant they left 2 extra rolls in each bathroom but there was only 1 extra in one of the bathrooms. We stayed for 3 weeks. Kinda disappointed that we couldn’t get an extra roll of cheap toilet paper. The room was spacious but if you are looking to sit out on the lanai comfortably, it is very long but very narrow in width and was hard to get around the furniture. Air conditioners worked great and so did the ceiling fans in both the bedroom and living room. All appliances were in good working order.

We stayed 5 nights at the Maui Banyon Condo while visiting the island. It was clean and comfortable for the 2 of us. We would recommend it without hesitation.

1st time in Maui and at the Banyan, it did not disappoint!! The location of this property/condo is fantastic...beaches right across the street. We drove the Hana hwy, watched surfing on the way, went to Twinsfalls waterfall (little disappointed thought it would be more WOW than it was) enjoyed lunch on the bay in Hana, cool black sand. Snorkled in Honalula Bay saw amazing beautiful fish and a Barracuda (scared me out of the water haha). Black rock great snorkeling too. kayaked between Kamaole 1 Beach and Maluaka Beach saw the whales and hear them...we do have a whale of a story☆☆☆☆☆:] frequented a few delicious local hang outs...places to try Loekos Kitchen, Maui brew company, Paia fish company and Fred's close to Banyan. Cheers Maui see you next year🍹🍷🦎🐳💖

We arrived to this rental on Christmas Eve and everything was just perfect! There was even enough room for a Christmas tree! We had everything we needed and the location was ideal. We could walk to the beach, restaurants and shops very easily. There is a stand just across from the beach that rents boogie boards, kayaks, snorkel equipment, etc. I also liked how close we were to the airport. Honestly, I liked the area that I would stay there again.

We had a wonderful time staying here, it’s a great location walking distance to beach, shops, restaurants! The reservation/check in/check out process were easy, communication was clear, and we had plenty of room for my 2 sons and us to be comfortable. I’m missing my morning coffee on the lanai already!

The property was pretty, clean and well maintained. Our condo on the other hand was not very clean. The bathrooms were pretty gross. They do not scrub shower between guests. One of the bathrooms toilets started leaking while we were there. We notified the guy on our list and he said he would come and never showed up. We were left with only one working toilet for the last couple days of our trip.

Overall well equipped. Paperwork sent out needs to be updated with new WiFi. Could use some painting and spiffing up. Couldn’t open the safe so it was useless but overall a good place to stay.

Condo was kept in good condition. Ample bedding and great location for walking to restaurants and the beach. Parking and check-in process were straightforward.
Friend with allergies could not stop sniffling in this unit (other rooms in Maui Banyan building were OK). Master bedroom A/C unit was not cooling the room and could only circulate air around. Secondary bathroom ventilation had seen better days as well. No other complaints for the price of the rental.

Our closest friends stayed in this unit. I paid, they stayed and were glad they had use of an elevator.

Overall our stay was good. This is a great location just a few minutes walking to the beach and to many local shops and restaurants. However we did find a few issues with the condo itself that needed improvement. We communicated these concerns to the property manager who was not very helpful.

The Condo had everything my friend and I needed. Plenty of towels and amenities. Everything was so clean and the decorations are so cute! Had breakfast on the lanai and had a view of the Ocean. Absolutely beautiful. I will definitely stay here again. Thank you Dan.

Great location H building. Parking you can park in the front lot or anywhere in the parking garage that doesn't say reserved by owner, and their is back parking lot. I parked their forever until I talked to some people. The ocean view is from the balcony not a wave view balcony is long and skinny. It's nice to let fresh air in. All new appliances. The washer and dryer just press the button once to get it to go. Hit up Fred's on Taco Tuesday cheap Margaritas. The hot tub was my favorite spot. Would stay here again. Thank you for working with me.

Staff at front desk very kind. The property is very beautiful and the pools were great! A few draw backs, no wash clothes in the unit, bedroom AC super noisy ( on last leg) the dish washer is broke however I called to let them know and they already knew but no note was left to notify us. Since the pandemic was still an issue, perhaps having something that gives you info on places that would take our or deliver. All in all great place to stay, beach equipment was appreciated! We would definitely stay again!!

Public beach is across the street and restaurants are within a 10 minute walk. Our unit had everything we needed to make and eat meals/coffee. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and snorkeling gear were available to use. Quiet complex.

Nice property a bit dated. Location was excellent, property was clean. Had a leak in the dish washer and the TV kept conking out. Minus that it was a great place and an excellent vacation.

This was a nice condo in a good location. It wasn’t fancy, but certainly clean and sufficient. The kitchen could be a little better equipped, only 2 full size forks was a little sparse, the pans were in a little rough shape, but overall a good experience.

I stayed with a group of four adult women and we absolutely loved this Place. It was plenty of space for us and the sleeping arrangements were fine. The listing actually makes it look smaller than it is in real life - we were blown away once we arrived. The listing also comes with beach towels, plenty of towels, a cooler and some beach games. Staying in Kihei was nice as we were able to move to different parts of the island pretty easily. We highly recommend and would absolutely stay again!

Unit was fairly priced with a great location across from Kamaole II. Instructions from owner were very clear so we didn’t need to contact owner during stay. Only complain was that bathroom air return vents were covered with a thick dust. I would definitely return to this property.

The location of the property was great! It was close to good food spots and right across the beach. It was great because finding an Uber or Lyft was hard sometimes. We only had trouble with getting the TVs to work at first but then figured out how to work the one in the bedroom. Overall great place, I would definitely book again!

Very clean in great location. The pull out sleeper it’s probably in need of replacing and a toilet valve was leaking a little bit. That is not a complaint that is just an observation. Thank you for the boogie boards, sand chairs, etc. for the beach! Was a great time thank you very much. The Campbell’s

Wonderful beach Kam II across the street and the turtles were swimming in knee deep water along the beach every day. I stay in Maui every year and this condo is very well equipped. I do miss sitting outside with an ocean view. This view is obstructed by buildings. Very secure property walking distance to coffee and restaurants and the beach. Another awesome vacation!

We really enjoyed staying in this unit. Maui Banyan is our favorite place to stay and Kihei is the best part of the island to live, we think. It's easy to get to all the South Maui beaches, not far to the North side to visit Kahalui, Paia, Haiku and Upcountry area. Lots of shops, restaurants, food trucks, etc., within walking distance of Maui Banyan. Only about 5 minutes drive to upscale resorts in Wailea, if you want to go high-brow for a night at the high-end restaurants.
We enjoyed using Maui Banyan's pool almost every night, and having a washer/dryer in the unit was very convenient. We realized that we could have brought about half the clothes we packed, because we could wash our bathing suits, shorts, t-shirts, etc., as often as we wanted. We didn't really do any cooking in the condo, but we did buy groceries in town before check-in and had snacks, breakfast cereal, milk, sandwich fixings, etc.
Having 2 full bath rooms was very convenient for us as a couple. We like having "his" and "hers" separate bathrooms at home, so having this in the condo made us feel almost at home.
Getting to Kam II beach was literally a 3 minute walk down the sidewalk and across the street, where you can enjoy a great beach, picnic tables, public shower. Sunsets at Kam II are beautiful, with Lana'i in the background.
808 Deli is half a block away. They're not open for dinner, but they have great breakfast and lunch items. Perfect as to-go and eat at the picnic tables or on the beach across the street at Kam II. Lots of other good restaurants in the area to walk to, or within 5-10 minutes drive up S. Kihei Rd.
Dan the owner was very communicative with us regarding our questions and with information regarding the unit and the area. The owner has 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, a Tommy Bahama umbrella, numerous mask/snorkle/fin gear, lots of beach towels, bath towels, linens, 2 flat-screen TVs, very comfortable California King bed. The kitchen is well stocked with plates, bowls, flatwear, coffee cups, drip coffee maker, glasses, etc. You can see the ocean from the balcony. Hardwood floors (no gross carpet here!).
We highly recommend this unit for anyone wanting a home-away-from-home stay on Maui. We'll definitely book this unit on our next trip!

It was great. Air conditioners could be quieter but they worked.

Our family of three (with an almost-two-year-old) had a wonderful stay here! The location was perfect for days at the beach, with convenient access to restaurants and shops along South Kihei Rd. The condo was comfortable and had everything we needed including a super comfy bed and pull out couch, plenty of linens, a walk-in shower in the bathroom right near the entrance, and good gear like snorkels and sand toys.
Two things to note: The doors connecting the bedroom to the living room are frosted glass, which meant that we had to turn the living area lights off once our toddler went to bed or during his naps. Also, we expected it to be a bit cleaner (e.g.: microwave had food splatter in it, there was hair and dust around, and the cupboards were a bit greasy on the outside), which is a comment on the housekeeping, not the unit itself.
These things barely impacted our stay, since we spent so much time at the amazing beach across the street, in the condo complex pool, and sleeping!!
Dan was great to work with. We definitely recommend this place for other couples or small families.

Upon entering the condo, we were totally shocked to see that the place had not been cleaned since the previous users. We immediately called management and they had a cleaning crew in to take care of it within the hour.
This condo had everything that a person would need for a holiday. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials, however the knives were dull and the Teflon frying pans had many scratches on them.
In terms of location, the condo was perfect to walk down to the beach and it was a short distance from restaurants and businesses.
One thing I would change would be the washrooms need a thorough cleaning; there was a build up of grime in the bathtub. The toilet in the front washroom had issues because the chain would not stay on the lever and we had to flush manually.
Parking was excellent and easy to find.
The activity coordinator, Irene, who is based out of the main office was excellent in helping us organize our adventures.
If the cleaning issues were taken care of, we would highly recommend this place to others as it really is a decent place to stay.
Check out Fred's Mexican Grill or Paia Fish Market South Side for fabulous meals!

We enjoyed our stay here -- the location is very central to the Kihei beaches and walkable to some decent eats (short drive for the rest/best). The condo unit itself is pretty good - everything works, kitchen is decently equipped, there's w/d, it's quiet, setup is nice, and decor has "hawaii style" touches. Plus, there are beach towels, chairs and snorkeling stuff available for guest use, which we appreciated. So you should feel good staying here -- and note that a few things could be better -- the air conditioners (window units) were older and made quite a racket, the closet doors were hard to open and close, that sort of thing. Also, you *can* see the ocean from the lanais, but the view is a stretch over the rooftops of other buildings - what is right out front is the parking lot.
One other thing: there was no parking pass in the unit when we arrived. The instructions (emailed prior to arrival, on table in unit, and laminated on fridge) all emphasize to be extremely diligent in placing the pass on your car, lest you be ticketed and towed. I called the manager and asked about the pass, and was told "not to worry about it". When I mentioned the warnings, he said "what did I just say? don't worry about it." He delivered a pass as promised (2 days later, when office opened) and we had no problems - but it isn't the way I want to start a vacation.
Overall 3.5-4 stars

This condo is very clean and comfortable has all the amenities you need, just bring your bathing suit and stop by Foodland for some groceries and you are set! Located in a great location, across the street to the beach, walking distance to a number of restaurants and shops and not as windy as other parts of the Island we visited. I would recommend this condo and look forward to my next visit.

My husband and I were very pleased with our condo. Dan the owner was great to correspond with. He answered all my questions quickly. The condo was very clean and well stocked with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Having an a/c unit in the bedroom and living room really made a difference keeping the place cool. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Kehei. If you do stay in Kehei I would suggest eating at the Tiki Lounge and getting the Hawaiian pizza. If you don't get seasick easy you should go on the Sea Fire boat ride/snorkel to Molokini, we had a blast!!! And it was half the price of the other bigger boats. I felt like they gave us a more personal boat tour because of it being a smaller group on board. I've been on three other snorkel trips to Molokini and this was by far my favorite!

We loved our time at the Maui Banyan! Everything about it is Great! Grounds are very clean and well kept! Property itself so well kept! Everyone we encountered was friendly, helpful, and kind. The pools are not the best attribute, but everything else makes it well worth it! We will definitely stay again!

I stayed here for almost a month and loved this condo. It had everything I needed and even some extra beach stuff. There's a lot of good food in Kihei with a decent amount of it being walking distance from this condo. The beaches are close. Overall I would stay here again.
