We had an amazing vacation! The condo is in a perfect location. It is clean, comfortable and has everything you need. We would definitely stay there again!

Let’s just say I will stay in this condo again in the future. Everything and anything you could possibly need was available for an enjoyable vacation. Fully equipped kitchen, extra towels etc.. Nice pool area with BBQ’s, tables, bathrooms and outdoor shower.
Also available were beach chairs, umbrellas, ice chest, beach towels I can go on and on.
Great location close to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and shopping.
Thank you for sharing your condo with us 😊🏖️

Well, we had an absolutely fabulous time at this gorgeous little condo right on the beach. It’s perfect for small children because you can see everything from the back porch. You can see the kids playing on the beach from the back lanai. The pool nearby is great and safe with a gate. We just loved our stay and were so comfortable. Karen was communicative and flexible and very kind. We will be coming back!

The condo was amazing!!! It has absolutely everything you need for a wonderful stay. A/c was fantastic, beds were really comfortable, showers were great. Location is right across from the beach (Kamaole 2) with shops and restaurants within walking distance. Owner is super responsive and helpful. Perfect place for a family of four, especially with college kids who had their own entrance with a connecting door to the main area. Would absolutely stay here again!

We had a WONDERFUL experience staying here. It was clean comfortable and everything organized to perfection. Brittany is an exemplary host! It was our home away from home.
The location of this condo is so so beautiful! The birds and green space next door, the Maui Banyan gardens and pool area- all just beautiful and added to our enjoyment of Maui. Not to mention the views from the lanais !!!!! We enjoyed the lanais all week all times of day: The different views, birds and wildlife (a heard of deer one night!)
The condo is quiet and serene yet close to everything. The parking was no trouble at all unless you have some mobility issues. It was a piece of cake for us.
We enjoyed this particular resort it was so well-kept and friendly people working all day to improve it.

Had such a great time! Our friends have been to Maui many times & recommended Kihei, We’re used to other islands that are more green & tropical so at first we were a little hesitant. Brittany’s condo in Maui Banyan is in a great location, just a 5-min walk down to the Kamaole beaches. Restaurants, food trucks, groceries close by. The condo has the best set up for 2 couples. Two individual units attached; private but really comfortable. A guest in her guestbook, wrote, “Just enough walls to keep us friends” or something like that. So funny & so spot on! It really was perfect. Two big, comfy beds, beautiful BA’s with soft towels, stackable W/D, stocked kitchen & nice lanai off master BR. Hard to find a place with 2 ‘real’ BR’s instead of a loft. Also a huge hit. Condo has snorkels, fins, beach chairs, umbrellas. So nice! Shoutout to honest Housekeeper who found $ we accidentally left behind & contacted owner. Just wow! We prefer a place where we can park our car next to or near our unit, but the parking garage worked fine. One of us would go get the car when we needed it & then when we were back, we’d stop at the entrance to the building & unload our stuff, and then go park. It became a funny joke about who would go get the car each day. Haha. Explored the whole island & it was fantastic! We have vacation rentals of our own & have seen it all, so now we’re pretty picky about where we stay. Want to go back right now! Thank you, Brittany!

9 family members from age 2 to 69 stayed for a week. The location was walking distance to almost everything we wished for. The beach is steps away and has great swimming and snorkeling. The kitchen is well stocked with cook wear, there are lots of beach toys and towels. The property manager made a special effort to bring a clothes steamer even though there was an iron available.

This property was amazing! We loved all the space and how all the sliding glass doors opened up the entire room. Michael was very helpful with getting us checked in and getting all the little extras that made it easier on my family as well as the beautiful welcome gifts! We all had enough space to relax and watch the sunset every night. The proximity of the beach just can’t be beat!! We just love Maui and have stayed in Kihei many times and we will be sure to rebook this property our next family trip.

The condo was exactly as advertised - very comfortable, clean, well stocked, and easy to access, with Brittany being a gracious and very communicative host. The location is just a few minutes of a lovely walk through the Banyan complex's gardens away from Kamaole II beach as well as restaurants/shopping in Kihei and one of the two pools is very close to the unit. We had a great time and hope to be back!

Anchor Cove is as oceanfront as a Maui condo can get. While located at a mid-size condo property, this unit feels private. It's plenty spacious for two couples - fully equipped, comfortable, and with a view that can not be beat. Already trying to plan a return!

We've been going to Maui and staying in Kihei in the same place for 20 years. We'll never stay in this unit again. Moved after 2 days. Condo was lacking... just about everything. 18" of closet space only after we cleared out a vacuum cleaner, step stool, ironing board and brooms. Had to use the ironing board as a table because there was no place to put anything down. Had to request kitchen towels, a bath mat, ant killer, a laundry basket, swiffer, entry rug, etc. There are no hooks around for towels, bathing suits... No ice maker. The bed was super uncomfortable and when I asked them to rotate it, they flipped it instead. So the 2nd (last) night we slept on the underside of the mattress (not designed to be flipped). We've never stayed in a more poorly equipped condo on the island. The only good thing is customer service was quick to respond to emails and texts and refunded our money for the duration after the 2 days.

We really enjoyed the condo itself - really attractive, very comfy beds and all the amenities. The air conditioning was a fabulous addition, as we had spent a week near Keahou on the Big Island without air! That said, this is a high rise complex in a busy area, and we very much preferred the calm, peaceful spacious low level building we were in on Keahou. If you want beaches close, great food (we loved Moose McGillicuddy's and Fred's Mexican) this is the place for you. If you prefer a quiet getaway, look for something with more space between units and a calmer vibe.

Property was perfect! We'll be coming back to this place for many years to come. Michael was the best host from welcoming gifts, snacks, fresh fruit & drinks. The home is loaded with everything you need & more - by far the best VRBO we've stayed in! Thanks Michael & team!

Karen’s home was amazing! We were there for almost a week and it was the perfect home. Not only were we close to different food spots, we were literally on the beach. This home is perfect to relax and enjoy the beautiful views. Karen was so great. She made sure to check in on us and was always prompt in responding. I would highly recommend this home to anyone who wants to stay in a beautiful home and who wants to have a relaxing vacation.

Amazing property. Very clean and comfortable. The amenities in the kitchen are very good if you enjoy cooking. Usually we eat one meal a day out so it’s nice to have the option. Great location if you enjoy walking and visiting the local area. Lots to do. This is my sixth time to Hawaii. Will be back. Our host was very approachable and attentive to any questions that we had. People on site in the office were also helpful as we had a package delivered. Everything went so smoothly.

This place is magical! We came with our family to get married and could not have picked a better place or location.
Our host, Michael, could not have been more helpful. Michael is amazing, very quick to respond and helpful with all requests. Michael is extremely knowledgable about the island, where to go and how to have food delivered, etc etc. He really made this whole process with our wedding much easier - so, thank you, Michael!!!
The penthouse is in an amazing location, the beach is amazing. We had 9 people, enough space for all of us and close to all the areas we wanted to visit. The views, the sound of the ocean, it really was just an amazing stay.
Michael, thank you for all that you did for us and we look forward to coming back to see you soon!!

My husband and I have been visiting Maui for over 20 years consistently. This was our first visit to Kihei and we were blown away with this town. We usually stay at a resort on either side of the Island (we love being served a cocktail at a fancy pool just as much as the next). We knew we wanted to stay at minimum 2 weeks and wanted to just chill and do whatever we wanted to without the hustle and bustle of a resort.
WE FOUND UR PARADISE! The acommodations were everything we had hoped for... the unit had everything we could ask for as far a kitchen supplies, linens etc. Walking out to our beach steps away was magnificent. Many great restaurants within walking distance of anything you needed... including a little grocery store across the street. Amazing sunsets from our Lanai every single night. Karen was very easy to communicate with and was able to help us with anything we needed.Hoping to return sooner than later.

Fabulous views, plenty of room. The ability to open up the sliding doors along the entire patio area was so much fun. Management very responsive. The only downside was the property is a little older, and is on very busy street.

My daughters and I loved this condo. It's in a great location South Kihei and walking distance to the beach and some great restaurants. The pool is well-maintained, and we cooked at the communal grills several times. The condo itself is updated, well-stocked, and has incredible views of the mountains and ocean - we could see whales from the lanai!!!
Check in/out was easy as was communicating with the owner. We hope to return soon!

We had an amazing trip to Maui! This condo at the Maui Banyan was a perfect place to be able to explore the island and was a centrally located home base. The owner, Brittany, was very easy to communicate with, especially when we had concerns about a deleted flight and later arrival. The condo is exactly as it is pictured and is in immaculate condition . We spent a lot of time by the pools and on the Lanai, watching the whales splash just out from Kamaole 2 beach. We are already planning our stay for next year. Would highly recommend this rental to anyone who wants a beautiful rental in Maui!

![Hale Pau Hana Rental]()
This property exceeded our expectations! The condo was very comfortable and roomy enough for two couples. It had two true bedrooms with king beds and full bathrooms. The kitchen was very well stocked and well equipped for outdoor fun (snorkeling gear, umbrella, beach chairs...). The location was great as well - right across from lovely Kam II beach and easy walking to a number of restaurants in town. Access to Wailea and Makena beaches to the south is easy as well. The complex is also very nice, with two pools/spas available to guests as well as BBQ's, tennis and onsite parking. The complex is large, but quiet. There are many condos in the area, but this one overlooks a forested lot (i.e. not another building) as well as Haleakala in one direction and the ocean in the other. I was a bit worried about feeling crowded in, but definitely not the case here. Brittany was very responsive to our questions both before our arrival and while there. All in all, great hosts and a great stay!

The property and the experience were more than we could have imagined.
Everyone had their own bedroom and private bath.

This has become our absolute best VBRO condo to date! Great location, beautifully appointed condo, super clean and great location! The owner addressed every question in a super timely manner and is very kind and gracious! Beach chairs, umbrella, and even toys if you’re traveling with kids. I cannot say enough good things about this property, management and owners!

![The Penthouse Maui]()
We just returned from a 7 night visit and are so happy we selected this property. It was larger than we needed for 3 adult couples; the cost would have been less to get 3 luxury hotel rooms nearby, but we would have sacrificed a lot of communal space and family time this place enabled us to enjoy.
The proximity to the beach is unparalleled. You can hear the waves through the closed doors/windows from the master bedroom and living space. Walking to and from the beach is easy - I even had wifi from the condo while on the beach. And there was always a parking spot just by the stairwell to the condo despite the busy season.
Being able to open the entire wall for a huge indoor/outdoor experience was really fun, which we did one night when we had a private chef. The chef recommended by Michael was wonderful. Sunrise was surprisingly nearly as beautiful as sunset with the whole sky going light pink and purple. The beach was never crowded, and we saw whales spouting several mornings from the lanai and also saw sea turtles swimming past us in the water twice while just standing in the ocean.
Also it was great to be able to walk right across the street to one of the best delis on Maui for a breakfast or lunch sandwich, for lattes and Hawaiian ices, to The Cinnamon Roll Place, to a liquor/wine/beer store, to a grocery store, and much more. Prices at these local spots were much less than we would have paid were we trapped on a luxury resort for every purchase.
There were no negative surprises. Check in/out was simple, photos are accurate, the place came well stocked with towels, cleaning supplies like laundry detergent, lots of spices and pantry staples, all the cookware and glasses you need. Also probably 10 beach chairs, several umbrellas, plenty of snorkel gear and pails and life vests etc. We never hauled out the paddle boards and kayaks as they are quite large and tightly stuffed into their holding container - it just seemed like too much hassle.
The only small complaint I had was that the wooden bed frames creak, which can disturb a light sleeper even when simply rolling over in the night (beds and pillows were quite comfortable though). The addition of an espresso machine and water filter would take the amenities over the top. We refilled our water bottles continually, but the tap water had a slight aftertaste to me.
We would definitely return and recommend this place!

We were so happy with our stay! The proximity to the beach is amazing, with the ability to run up and down to the condo in just a few seconds from the beach. The condo is also located next to a bunch of food options, so you can walk to get many types of food, as well as a small grocery store!

This was a wonderful place to stay in Maui! Right across from the beach too. The condo was clean, well maintained, well stocked with everything you need for the beach and barbecues by the pool. It was really a trip of a lifetime. Brittany (the host) responded to any questions I had in a friendly manner. I highly recommend staying here.

My sister and I went to Maui to get away and celebrate her 40th! We picked this property because it was a good value with great reviews. We had such a great time. Kihei is in a convenient spot for traveling the whole island without spending too much time in the car (IMO). Brittany was great with communication. We loved being able to use the beach items and having a washer/dryer and our own separate spaces was awesome. This could easily sleep several more people but it was also perfect for just the two of us. Great experience! Thank you!!

This is our third stay in Kihei at a VRBO. We loved this one . Close to the water, perfect grassy knoll to lounge on in front of our room. The only thing which was a little sketch was the toilet. It would start to fill like it was going to overflow ( it never did) but it would empty so slow it seemed like it was always a roll of the dice.

If you are planning to stay in Kihei this is the place! Our family of four loved everything about this special place. The views can’t be beat….this property is oceanfront to the most beautiful beach. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai each morning drinking coffee and watching the sunrise, and didn’t miss a sunset! We loved being able to just walk across the street for anything we needed. Take out from coconuts was our favorite as well as the cinnamon roll place and açaí bowls at the shaved ice place! Karen was a pleasure to work with and made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation. Don’t hesitate to book this property it won’t disappoint!
