Enjoyed the condo during our stay. The decor and the Hawaiian music on when we entered was a great touch. Pool and grounds were well kept and seeing the sea turtles feeding below was special. This is my last trip to Maui and it was perfect. Mahalo.

Please be aware that the A/C is in the living room ONLY. It was very old and dirty. Upon arrival we had to clean the filter before use. The cool air did not reach the bedroom and with the high humidity level, made for very uncomfortable sleep. The windows and screens thrughout the unit were not secured and very dirty, I was not comfortable openeing them for a cross breeze.
The exterior premesis were immaculate and the location was central on the island. Easy access to all activites.
The unit was sell stocked with everything you need. It just needs a thorough interior cleaning (A/C; rug; drapes/tracks & windows).

Perfect Location! Not in the middle of Hustle and Bustle of the Tourist Side. Close to the Marina for Excursions and Activities. Close to Local Flavor!! And Close to the Highway along the Coast ...a beautiful drive all the way to Kapalua!!! Turtles on the shore. Gorgeous Ocean and Haleakala Views!! We'll be back!!

The place is exactly as described. The sea turtles show up every night, the view is amazing, the shower has good pressure, and it’s a short walk from the harbor and dining options. Loved it!

We try to go to Maui once every two years. We routinely stay in Kihei but this year we chose to stay near Maalaea Harbor. This condo had a very comfortable bed and all the basics we needed for our stay. The building and unit were well maintained, nothing fancy, but also less cost than many of the other locations we considered. There is a nice long walkable beach at the end of the street, but only a very small beach area on the property (turtles come ashore at sunset which is cool to watch). Next time we will likely stay on an upper floor so we can watch the whales from the balcony.

The rental was great location on the west side with good proximity to Kihei and. The unit was tranquil, quiet and really cozy. We also really liked all the amenities that came with the property, from beach chairs down to the binoculars for whale watching right off the patio! We enjoyed our stay and would book again.

Great place to stay for the Maui Oceanfront Half Marathon - walking distance to race start and to dinner cruise. Unit was accurately described. Very clean, bed and pillows very comfortable, great ocean view, pleasant lanai and backyard. Tante restaurant in walking distance - great menu at reasonable prices. Visited Maui Ocean Center Aquarium, also walking distance.

This property offers a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the mainland but also a quiet escape from the island. The views are incredible and the quiet manner of the property offers the ability to listen to the waves from your condo at all times.
There seems to be a disconnect from. The owners to the property management as trash receptacles are not open at all hours to dispose of trash. Listing the access hours could be helpful. Additional details from the owners regarding condo amenities provided and appliance operation would also be appreciated (explain it’s a Roku tv and give a standard explanation of the dishwashers and laundry). Otherwise, this condo provided all that is needed for a wonderful Maui vacation.

We loved this condo. It was perfect for us. Nice and new feeling on the inside in an older but very well maintained building. Loved the bathroom and the kitchen. The washer and dryer are in the kitchen but we loved having them in the condo. Very comfortable and the view is amazing!
Turtles can be seen at both ends of the property!
We loved being halfway between Kaanapali and the Wailea. We were able to go to restaurants at both ends and across the island at Paia. We even booked a whale watching excursion out of the marina right beside us. I would definitely stay here again.

The condo is newly updated. The whole place is lovely. So glad for a really nice bathroom and kitchen. (There is a washer/dryer in the kitchen but we were glad to have it!)
The view is spectacular - I took a lot of pictures!
There are turtles in front every day. There is no beach to put chairs and lay out on but the grassy area is very nice and you can walk down to the sand and rocks to see the turtles up close. Bed was comfortable, shower was great.
Two beach chairs were available and beach towels.They had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Some people might not like the area - you are not "in town" for close restaurants and stores (there are a few at the Ocean Center) but we loved it! We felt like we were central to the whole island and planned our days accordingly. We went a different direction every day. And on our last day we had a boating excursion at the harbor right down the street.
Perfect!

The condo we rented via CBIP vacations was perfect for two people. We had a ground floor (which we required); the condo was clean, well stocked and the instructions were timely and concise.

My impression is that this place is not owned by people who know much about a functional kitchen. Many parts are awkward. One funny example is that there's a cabinet door with no knob. You have to reach under the door with your hand or foot to open it. The glass door for the shower had a broken edge.
The sink is set on top of the counter with little clearance to the cupboards and no space for a dish rack.
The appliances are new and of good quality but had no manuals. We had to guess how to use them.
There is a fold out couch and many extra pillows, but no sheets or pillow cases for using this as a bed. For what we got it was very overpriced.
I loved being so close to the beach park down the street. I walked there barefoot several times! Also convenient is the little village of shops, restaurants and the Ocean Aquarium and the marina where many boat tours start.

The condo is in a great location just between Lahiana and Kihei. It's super easy to get to, the property is a quiet sleepy complex that is perfect for a low key and relaxing vacation. We found the condo to be well cleaned and supplied with the basics a vacationer needs. My cons: The bedroom is stuffy as there is no a/c. A simple standing unit would be a great addition. I'm a cold natured person and always require a or blanket and even I was uncomfortable in the bedroom. Thank goodness I was a single sleeper! The dryer doesn't dry - it seems improperly vented. We called for repair and they sent someone but it never did dry anything. This was disappointing as we packed light knowing we'd have a washer and dryer. And finally, the property is a non-smoking property, but the maintenance crew didn't follow this rule. It made sitting outside to enjoy a beachfront lanai impossible.

Everything was great, the location, other guests, and on site management. One thing we we slightly disappointed in, no basic staple items, flour, sugar, ketchup & mustard, facial tissue. We will stay here again.

Beautiful condo! It was great being on the bottom floor as it was easy access to the bbq, pool, and hot tub. It felt very private with the hedge blocking the pool even though it was really close. Kitchen was well stocked with any utensils we needed. We will definitely book this condo again. Thank you!

Short walking distance to a great restaurant, miles of beautiful (hidden gem) beach, the harbor if you have any trips booked, and some shops for some necessities.
A great spot for watching turtles. The pool, hot tub and grills are always places to meet wonderful people.

We had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped. The outdoor grill the grounds were well cared for. The pool and hot tub were lovely.It was a great location, so close to many of the activities we had planned while on that part of Maui. And best of all, we had the waves to lull us to sleep!

This property and condo exceeded my expectations! Maa'laea Banyans is a beautifully kept property, very secure and well maintained. The condo unit itself was so cozy. We spent 9 days here and were so sad for our time to come to an end. It was so amazing waking up to see the gorgeous sunrise right outside of our condo, and being able to go down to the beach area at night to watch the sea turtles resting was such a dream! We even got to see some during the day! The bed was very comfortable too! This trip was a literal dream come true, and picking this condo to stay in was part of what made the trip so wonderful. If you are considering this property, you won't be disappointed!

This condo is beautiful and perfectly updated! The bed was one of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in, which always makes the stay that much more enjoyable!
The location is good if you want to be central to everything. You can drive 15-30 minutes in any direction and be in a new part of Maui. There are a couple of restaurants nearby, but it's definitely a quieter part of town.
The only real downfall is that the pool is only open from 9 am - 9 pm. It was a little disappointing to only have access during those times, but the facilities are kept perfectly clean and we enjoyed the time we did have in them.

The place was beautiful, it had everything we could ever need and then some. It really felt like home. So much so that my boyfriend chose the living room as the perfect place to propose. It will always have a special place in our heart and we will go back there for as many years as they vacation rental it. We did happen to travel right before things got extreme with the virus. Everything was open till Wed. But we made the most of every opportunity and place while we were there.
Thank you for making our vacation wonderful,

This location and unit was a perfect little getaway place for my husband and I! It’s honestly a hidden gem! The location is central, the view from our lanai and condo was priceless! We saw whales every single day and did get to see some turtles as well! Quiet building with beautiful grounds, nice pool and relaxing hot tub! 10 min walk to nice little pub for happy hour and to a little coffee/bkfast/lunch place for our morning java and açaí bowl after a great run by the beach! Sugar beach is 10 min walking distance! We have access to a little sandbar for our morning coffee or afternoon cocktail sitting on the beach chairs provided by the condo! We had everything we needed in our unit! We would love to go back sooner than later! We loved it so much! I would have stayed for another 2 weeks easily! 🌺
I would go back in a heartbeat! Amazing!

Quiet location. However, the king bed was the most uncomfortable bed we have ever slept in. The mattress liner they have on it is SO slippery, we were fighting all night to stay in the wells of the bed. The tv in the bedroom is Roku only., thereby, unusable to most. There is a moderate amount of cooking utensils.The upside was that there is adequate paper products and soap for laundry. The clothes dryer is a real conundrum to figure out. We were there for 2 weeks.

We were very happy with our stay at the Maalea Banyans. The condo was perfect and had all the extras we needed including beach towels, chairs, etc. A nice local beach (which wasn't busy) was a 5 minute walk from the condo. We went during whale mating season and could see whales breaching the water. Turtles were also near the shore which we could get to from the lanai. Overall, we were very happy qith our stay and would stay again and recommend to others.

This little condo was everything we could have asked for and more! The decor ans furnishings were beachy and comfortable. The floors were wood (not tile) and we loves this as it really added to the beachy feel. The bed was large and soft. There was a dishwasher and convenient! They suppied everything for the kitchen including laundry and dishwasher soap and had shampoo/conditioner/bodywash and lots of extra towels. Also beach towels, chairs and boogie boards. The lanai opened up to a beautifully landscaped property with a fenced pool (great for safety w/kids), the pool was lovely and clean and the hot tub was perfect to relax after a long day of fun. We saw huge sea turtles sunning themselves on the beach in front of our building and whales jumping in the ocean. The owner provides binoculars to view the whales and they were amazing to see! There is a beautiful beach ‘sugar beach’ a 3 min walk down the road, if you want to swim. Location is a 2 min drive or 10min walk to the marina, ocean centre and resteraunts in Maalaea. It was absolutely devine! We wouldn’t change a thing and we would absolutely return to this littyslice of heaven!!!! Thanks so much to the wonderful owners for sharing your beautiful home with us!!
