Pretty clean, although the cleaning lady was still there when we arrived a little past 4 pm. We had texted the host asking if they can let us know when the room was ready because we were hoping to check in a little earlier, but we never got a response back. Next, the parking spot was not reserved, which wasn’t a huge problem but still disappointing. The kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated the welcome gifts, however the box of chocolates was expired and moldy. Additionally, the beach umbrella was broken and unusable, but we did use the two beach chairs. We also found ants and a cockroach on the stovetop, so overall can use some improvement.

The location was fantastic, the pool was nice, great balcony views, the property was older but still pretty good. It was clean but it was almost as if the cleaning person left in the middle and left their things on the counter. There were not the things listed in the listing (toilet paper, soap, shampoo, etc) and the property manager said he would contact his cleaning person but we never heard back. If those things were the only issues it would be fine but I also tried to change our dates before the 50% refund period was over and didn’t hear back until I reached out again- still haven’t seen a 50% refund on those dates. Lastly, there was a horrible chemical smell that caused us to go to another hotel for a night in the middle which was expensive and a huge hassle. Overall, if you don’t mind buying your own toilet paper and don’t plan to change your dates, this is a lovely place.

The condo was clean and well-equipped! We enjoyed the pool and hot tub area as well as the beach right across the street (the provided chairs, umbrella and boards were perfect!). It was easy to cook meals in the kitchen and we also felt close to other restaurants and amenities. We'd happily stay again!

This condo is very clean and comfortable for four people. It is very nicely appointed with all the necessities for home cooking in the kitchen. Roomy bathrooms and bedrooms, plus very comfortable seating in both the dining and living areas, and a nice balcony with pleasant views as well Many extra touches were appreciated, like boogie boards, and new beach chairs and umbrella. Great beaches and good food are easy walking distance. We also enjoyed spending time at the pool and hot tub. The owner was very responsive to our questions and resolved our minor issues quickly. Overall terrific experience.

The condo is in a great location with pretty grounds, the layout of the condo is great, and the host was very responsive when i notified them that there were missing supplies. Unfortunately, the condo is very outdated. The air conditioners were dirty, the linens were very worn, the knives were so dull i was unable to cut pineapple or mango without crushing it, the ceiling fans were intermittent, and the beds were terribly uncomfortable. I know Maui is expensive (i grew up in the islands and saved for a year to bring my son to Maui to show him where i grew up) but the price is high for this condo.

We've stayed ay multiple units at the Baynan, and while this particular one might not be newly remodeled as some, it still was comfortable and had exactly what we needed for our stay.

We bought before the devastating August 2023 wildfires, but so glad we went!
We were delighted by the location, amenities, and walkability.
A wrinkle at check-in was promptly and easily addressed by telephone. The host was very responsive to report of a running toilet. We were very pleased to have flexibility on check-out timing.
Highly recommended.

This condo is located on the other side of the street, right next to a beautiful beach. The view from the condo was beautiful. The condo was very well equipped with beach amenities. All you would need in a kitchen is there. The pool was very nice and the barbecues were always clean. The condo was also very clean when we arrived. I strongly recommend this place!
August 2023
We really enjoyed our stay and the owner was very good at communicating and quickly taking care of a couple of issues we had. The location right across the street from Kamaoele 2 and the proximity to the pool made this a really convenient place to stay.

Overall the condo was great for our family of 5; condo complex was quiet and had great views, easily walk to the beach and food spots, space of the condo was adequate for a family, beds were comfy. Took off a star because the Wi-Fi was awful, the beach gear (boogie boards & chairs) were super beat up so we just bought stuff to use instead, it would have been nice to have a vacuum and mop…definitely recommend grabbing some cleaning spray or Clorox wipes since there aren’t cleaning supplies, also the assigned parking spot wasn’t worth the hassle (cement wall on one side and cement pillar on the other so we couldn’t park in the spot and open our doors - we just parked on the roof instead). Great place to stay with a family, we had a nice getaway.

This property was in a great location. We are within walking distance of the beach, restaurants and shopping! The garden view from the unit is beautiful and it never gets the sun on it to make it too hot. There are two swimming pools to choose from if one is crowded. Our place was clean. We had a hiccup with the garbage disposal and the owner was great to help us figure out how to fix it. I will definitely be back!

Overall nice stay at Maui Banyan. We loved the pool and easy access to the beaches across the street. Several restaurants and stores within walking distance. We really loved Cafe O’Lei, Beach Street for breakfast and Maui Thai Bistro. Definitely recommend renting mopeds from 808 Rides and drive to Makena beach!!
We had a few issues with the door code and the toilets but the owner was very responsive and called the handyman. The beds were so comfy and AC was good. Limited supplies so we had to buy beach cups, toilet paper, etc. If you’re staying over a week, you’ll need to shop for supplies.

The location was perfect, easily accessible to all the things we wanted to do on the island. My daughter loved the pool and hot tub. The beach was right across the street. The property was clean and other guests were friendly. Definitely plan on coming back again in the future.

The Maui Banyan building is the perfect location!! The pool is always clean and relatively quiet. The building is well looked after! Our unit was equipt with everything we needed.
The only thing we noticed was 2 out of the 4 beach chairs were broken, but still usable!
Can't wait to visit again soon!!

Condo is great, exactly as advertised, super clean, and well maintained aside from a couple light bulbs that needed replacing. Definitely one of the best units we've stayed in in this building (our fifth stay in the Maui Banyan).
My only issue and the one thing preventing me from rating the full five stars is that the beds are so soft and saggy that they're super uncomfortable. The one in the master isn't terrible, but the two in the extra room are just awful. No support at all and oddly ... loud. Kind of a shame because everything else about the condo was great.

This was our second time staying in this unit. Overall it was what we expected. I appreciate the easy check in -especially after seeing other frustrated travelers in the lobby trying to access their units. Owner was easy to deal with. Location is ideal across from beach and walking distance to restaurants.

We enjoyed this cozy condo. Close to the beach. Amenities galore. It would have been nice to have a working washer and dryer at the time, but the owner returned some of the deposit. Everything was clean. The grounds were gorgeous. Partial ocean view from the lanai. Kitchen was stocked with all the basics. The available beach gear was so useful. We didn’t have to rent or buy anything extra. Beds were so comfortable.

Loved the property but it was its location that impressed us the most. Right across the street from a great beach with awesome snorkeling (saw many turtles and even a small shark off the point!) Great restaurants and shops just a 2-5 min walk away. Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Maui!

This condo was perfect for our needs- 2 adults & 2 teenage kids. Right on the south edge of Kihei with beautiful beaches right across the street & shops/ restaurants within walking distance. We drove all over the island & felt it was nicely/ centrally located to enjoy everything. Loved that it came with beach chairs/ towels/ boogie boards. Everything was very clean & well- equipped. Location in building/ complex is nice- Can see pool & beautiful view of sunset off lanai & is in same building as office which is convenient if you have any questions. Overall, wonderful condo and we will definitely stay here again!

I really liked the place, the reviews were spot on. I only had to contact management to get a code to get access to our room. The only complaint if any was the pans were a bit hard to cook with. The food kept getting stuck to them. Other then that we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return and recommend to anyone!

We had a great time! The location is amazing and the teens went to the beach by themselves. We found everything we needed in the condo - towels, small surfboard, every kitchenware and appliance we needed, washer/dryer. Our youngest enjoyed the pool. There are grocery stores and restaurants within a short walking distance. Highly recommended.

Communication with owner was easy and quick. The unit was clean and the perfect size for us. Stocked kitchen so we could cook for the kids. It was everything we were hoping for and more.

Great condo for family vacation. Well equipped kitchen. We really liked to sit on the balcony in the morning, views are beautiful: ocean from one side and mountains from other side. Condo is conveniently located across the street from the beach, less than 5 minutes walking distance. The beach is very nice, has showers and toilets. We will definitely come back.

We have returned home from two weeks in Maui Banyan G307. The unit was clean, bright and had everything we needed. Lots of towels (bath & beach), bedding, dishes including plastic for the pool. There was a coffee maker, toaster, blender lots of pots, pans & bowls. Hair dryer in each bathroom, tv in each bedroom plus living room and window air conditioners. On King was great to deal with and always prompt with replies, problem with the shower head was quickly repaired without inconvenience.. Balconies looked over the pool and bbq area - so we could see when the bbqs were free. Absolutely would stay again.

The only reason why I couldn't give it 5 stars was the kitchen didn't have certain items we needed to make meals. A large pot and a medium pot would have been nice to make pasta and pasta sauce. Even a few reusable storage containers would have been nice to store left overs in as well.
The location to the beach and pool was great. Within walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops. The beach right out front had great snorkeling to swim with turtles too.

We loved it once again. Comfortable, clean, affordable, lots of beach chairs and towels. every thing was great. There were ALOT of little ones visiting the Banyan this time but it was fun to see them enjoying........and they were gone after a week. Back to the quiet. Perfect location. We will definitely go back. Aloha and Mahalo

We stayed at this condo in June 2017, and it met our needs perfectly. There was plenty of room for my husband and I and our 2 teenage daughters. The beds were comfortable and the condo clean. The balcony view perfect! There is a beach right across the street, plus additional Wailea beaches within a 5-10 minute drive. We also liked the ability to find affordable restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk of the condo. The owner was easy to work with and responsive. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Maui!

This unit is perfectly located and is tropically decorated. It is an easy walk to the most beautiful beach and is also right near the pool. It was equipped with everything you need...beach chairs, beach towels. We didn't do much cooking but the kitchen had everything you would need. The BBQ pits at the pool were wonderful. We cooked down there twice. My grandsons took full advantage, rented a car and went everywhere on the island plus they took a surfing lesson and swam in a waterfall. Great place to visit, wish it didn't take so long for us to get there.

Wonderful home! Great location. Perfect for a week's stay on Maui. The house fit our family of 6 (4 adults and two little kids (4 and 2) perfectly. We were able to easily drive anywhere we needed to go. Walking distance to several beaches, including Kamaole Beach Park II that is known for sea turtle seeing and watching sunset. Beach towels, beach toys and chairs are provided. The property owner, On-King, was very helpful and responsive to our questions. He also gave us tips on what to do and what to eat on the island. We enjoyed our time and will definitely return.

The location is wonderful - very close to several beaches so you don't have to carry all your beach gear far. The condo is roomy and tastefully decorated. All sorts of extras are included: beach towels, beach toys and chairs, kitchen utensils, a mini library of books, and equipment to clean up all that glorious sand that tracks in, etc. etc.. The kitchen is easy to work in - great amount of work space and it is set up well. Response time for minor repairs/needs were very quick and pleasant. All communication re the rental were timely and helpful. Only suggestion - perhaps installing blinds that could be lowered over the sliding doors of the king size bedroom. That way if someone wants to sleep in, the early risers don't keep that person awake. The bathrooms have adequate space and are in working condition. The building is quiet and the lanais are set in a way so they are private from the neighbours. This was a very positive experience in many, many ways. We would definitely return.

Our Maui vacation was perfect, the condo was clean, stocked with plenty of towels, including beach towels, beach chairs, sand toys and chairs. After stopping to get groceries, we were set for fun. The AC units in the rooms were perfect for cooling the condo. The owner was responsive to any question or request we had. We hope to vacation again :)

Wonderful location. A great beach with lifeguard is right across the street and third floor lanais offer nice views as well as privacy. Restaurants, stores and rental shops are near by.
The condo includes beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, cooler, beach toys, etc. My husband also appreciated the books that were provided in the condo.
The property listing and photos accurately reflect the condo's appearance.
The owner was very good to deal.
We have no problem recommending this property and we would definitely rent this property again.
April 2014
We just recently returned from a wonderful two week stay in unit G307 at the Maui Banyan! The unit was well maintained and equipped with everything we needed to either head down to the beach with all the necessary chairs, snorkel gear, umbrellas and towels or sit out on the lanai to relax and enjoy the view. The condo has a great layout with lots of room, and comfortable furniture. Our girls particularly enjoyed that they each had their own double bed in the second bedroom! From our 1st inquiry into booking the unit, On King was wonderful to deal with! He was prompt with all his responses and we even talked on the phone a few times to go over things. He sent us a detailed welcome letter going over everything we needed for our arrival,stay and departure. He made booking this vacation a great experience and I have no hesitation in recommending this unit for future bookings!

This was our 5th year at the Maui Banyan and this was our favorite condo. We stayed there with my parents and the room overlooked the pool and you could also see the ocean from our balcony.
The condo was very clean and it seemed to be newly renovated. Stainless steel appliances, flat screen tv's in every room, and 3 air-conditioners.
If you haven't been to Kihei it's a great place to go with family and young ones.
The Maui Banyan has 2 pools and our favourite beach is right across the beach. There are two great restaurants - Fred's and Moose's less than a block away.
The condo is situated in the G building. It is located on the 3rd floor and very close to the elevator which was great for my mother, and for packing luggage, and groceries.
The owner was great to deal with and very responsive. Very professional.
The only complaint we have is, it's already booked for next year. :(
January 2014
We can't speak highly enough both about the Owners - On-King and Kristine, and the Maui Banyan Property. On-King was excellent to deal with. He provided very detailed arrival information as well as lovely welcome gifts. Any questions that we emailed to him were answered very promptly. The Condo is right across the street from three great beaches, and also within walking distance to several good restaurants. The Condo itself was wonderful - beautifully renovated and a fully stocked kitchen. There were also beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs, 3 flat screen T.V.'s, safes, in-Condo washer and dryer. There is also a land line in the Condo with toll free calling to the U.S. and Canada. We really love the comfort of this Condo and can hardly wait for our next visit this year!!! We would like to thank you for sharing your wonderful Condo with us!

This was my family's first time in Maui and our visit was incredible. Everything was just as stated in the description and even better than we could have hoped. The condo was well maintained and very clean. We used the BBQ every night and just enjoyed the pool and games while we waited. The sunsets could be seen from the pool as well as the lanai. The owner was so helpful answering all my questions as well as giving me ideas of activities to do with my three children. I would recommend this property to anyone going to Maui.

This condo is the perfect location as a base to explore Maui. There are many beautiful beaches just a short walk or drive away. Many restaurants nearby to choose from. We really appreciated the closet full of beach accessories (plus the beach towels that were included) and used them often! Beds were comfortable and the unit was very clean. Kitchen appliances very new. For those needing a phone, one is not provided (at least we did not see one). The owner, OnKing, touched base via email after our arrival to make sure everything was okay and was quick to respond to an inquiry. Although the building itself seems a bit dated, we would not hesitate to recommend this condo to anyone traveling to the Kihei area.

My family stayed at this condo for 2 weeks without any problems. We arrived in June when temperature was in the mid 80's to low 90's and the A/C's and fans in each room worked well. The A/C even had timers so that they didn't keep running in the middle of the night when the temp cooled off, easy to operate one button start. Beds were comfortable and so as the pillows. My 2 teenagers were happy to get a full size bed each. Everything we needed was either supplied by owner or easy to get in one of the nearby stores. All appliances were in excellent working condition, all electric appliances. Gas barbecue grills close to the pool were clean and easy to operate. It was a very clean condo and we were very comfortable. It was a keypad entry so we didn't have to worry about misplacing keys while we were at the beach. It's close to Foodland which was open 24 hrs, Times Supermarket and Boss Frog locations where you can rent great snorkels for 30/week and underwater camera for $35/wk. and of course surfboards and paddleboards were for rent almost every block closeby. Very convenient location especially if you you're coming from a luau from Wailea. Had a great vacation snokeling, stand-up paddling, swimming, sight seeing at Hana, Haleakala, Lahaina and Kaanapali side.

My family and I loved the Maui Banyan property. It is well kept and beautiful. The complex is directly across the street from the beach. They have two pools, a parking garage, outdoor grills with picnic tables and grassy areas. We liked the location of this unit, overlooking the pool and ocean but plenty of privacy from palm trees. We ate breakfast on the table that is on the balcony. The unit is updated and has a good layout. The condo comes well equipped with plenty of towels, dishes, hangers, washer, dryer, dishwasher, 3 ac units and 3 tvs. We also took advantage of the beach equipment that is in the unit. Some small complaints were that the beds were not super comfortable, especially one in the second bedroom. Some of the kitchen utensils were not in good shape and were lacking: tupperware containers with lids that don't fit, rusty peelers and can openers, no barbeque tools. The door to the water heater closet is broken (we opened it without knowing what was in there) and the main t.v. cabinet was also very difficult to shut properly. With these all being very minor things I would definitely recommend this condo to friends and I hope to stay myself again sometime. The owner was very nice and had some great recommendations. Maui Banyan is withing walking distance from many shops and restaurants, including the delicious cinnamon roll and ice cream shops. Hopefully walking there burned a few of the many calories consumed. I can't wait to go back to Maui!
