Aloha and welcome to the Tranquil Turtle Retreat at Maui Banyan Resort! Our recently updated owner-managed condo is located right in the heart of South Kihei close to world-class beaches, shopping and amazing restaurants. We have thought through all the details to make your Hawaii vacation careless and comfortable, so bring your family and enjoy Maui at its finest.
The Tranquil Turtle first floor condo has been decorated and furnished in tropical beach style to reflect the unique atmosphere of Hawaii.
This home away from home features an island-style furnished bedroom with California King bed, a cozy living room with a Queen size sofa sleeper, a remodeled and fully stocked modern kitchen, a central eating area with a table for four and a two seat island.
We offer cable TV, upgraded Internet connection and a high end Wi-Fi access point (the Internet connection is up to 300Mbps, WiFi within the condo is up to 5334 Mbps.) (Work-From-Hawaii ready).
Don’t overlook the fact that this condo uses a premium split-system for air conditioning. Not only this provides you with an elevated level of comfort, it also means no tropical insects or any other living things will be entering the condo through window A/Cs in your sleep (yes, this is tropics!).
Pack lightly for the beach! Our condo is stocked with all the necessary: beach towels, beach chairs, a cooler, umbrellas, boogie boards, and even toys for the kids. All of that fits into a convenient cart that helps you take all the gear to the beach in no time.
Our condo is facing the "quiet" side of the resort, away from the traffic noise of South Kihei Rd and the parking lots of the resort. Because it is toward the rear of the resort, it is very private with much less foot traffic going by. There is also a second (less busier) swimming pool located right across this building. This way you can watch your family play in the pool without leaving the comfort of the condo, while enjoying the view of wonderful local plants from the lanai.
Park with ease in your reserved spot, conveniently located near the building.
Maui Banyan Resort offers its visitors 2 pools with hot tubs, BBQ areas, tennis court and plenty of parking spaces but the best part of it, is it's location. It is right across the street from one of the best beaches in South Maui, Kamaole Beach 2, where you can take long walks on the sand, snorkel with sea turtles, watch Humpback whales swim by, have a picnic, work on your tan, and witness a world famous Maui Sunset.
If you feel like taking surfing lessons or trying stand-up paddleboarding, rentals are a 3-minute drive away at the best beginner surf spot on Maui. There are also lots of other activities close by including scuba diving, kayaking, and world-class golfing.
Feel like an evening out? You are a short walk to some of the most popular restaurants and shopping in South Kihei including Cafe O'Lei, Coconuts, Fred's, Moose McGillycuddy's, just to name a few. There are also lots of quick bites, food trucks, a health food store, a convenience store, and a supermarket close by plus plenty of souvenir shops.
Wailea is also only a 5-minute drive to the south where there are plenty of upscale dining options (Ko, Ferraro's, Monkeypod, Mateo, Spago, Duo) and high-end shopping at one of the resorts or the Shops at Wailea.
You are also in the perfect location to explore the rest of the island. Day trips to Lahaina, Haleakala Crater, Paia, Makawao, and Hana are all very easy from our condo's central locations. The Welcome book we send to all our guests contains Day Trip Suggestion, Best Beaches, Best Snorkeling Places, Best Local Restaurants and other information that makes planning your stay a breeze. We also have Maui Revealed and Maui Day by Day books in our condo that are highly rated by many tourists and will help you to discover the best of Maui.
If being close to everything is important to you and you prefer to walk rather than drive, then our condo is the perfect place for you! Welcome to your South Kihei home away from home!!!

The condo I stayed in was just beautiful. Cleanliness was to my liking. I treated it as my own with the utmost respect for the owner. If I come back again to Maui I would request this same condo

Anna, the host, was so kind and gracious and her communication to us was very timely and helpful! She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Her condo is updated and lovely and was extremely well stocked. I highly recommend Anna and her condo. Your Maui vacation will be wonderful if you stay here!

Extremely clean and has everything you could need during your stay. I am picky when it comes to VRBO but this place exceeded expectations. This is our 5th time in Maui and probably the nicest place we have stayed at. I particularly appreciated the guidebook written by the host (Anna) -- we discovered several new activities and restaurants despite our many previous visits to the island. Recommended!

The resort accommodations and facilities were clean, well maintained and comfortable. The Unit contained Everything
that our own home has, together with all the accessories needed for beach & water activities. Our host was very cooperative, pleasant & answered all of our questions timely! Our Honu Certificate of Adoption (Ginger) was a very welcome & appreciated surprise. WE WILL BE BACK!

Many Condos claim to be newly renovated - this one actually feels and looks clean, up to date and renovated. The owners have lots of attention to detail so the condo has everything you need as a family.

I stayed here for 9 nights in October 2021. I've rented several other condos in the Kihei area of Maui, and this was one of the most clean and comfortable places I've stayed on the island. The kitchen is beautiful with pretty much anything you could need. Fridge has an icemaker which I appreciate. The air conditioners work extremely well; they are the more "built-in" type, not window units. I actually hardly used the AC at all and mostly had windows open. The lanai is so lovely and runs all the way from living room area to bedroom with glass sliding doors to access from either room, which is so nice if you have multiple people staying. I liked that the bedroom area does have a pocket door to close it off from the living room if you wanted to do that. Both the bedroom TV and living room TV are smart TVs with streaming options such as netflix and amazon, but it was also nice that both also have cable. This unit is on the first floor of building T. The condo is closest to an entrance that has several stairs, but also has an entrance with no stairs, which is important for me as I have limited mobility. The property grounds are well cared for and beautiful, and security was around frequently patrolling in their golf carts, which was nice too. Parking was easy and reasonably close to the unit. Overall a beautiful condo with great amenities, I would definitely rent again.
