The place was perfect for my husband and I and her two best friends… Just the perfect amount of separation with the bedrooms, Comfortable privacy when you needed it,nice Lanai's (Although not as spacious as we thought - A bit cramped with the four of us out there)... Loved the bird sounds and the Parakeets! The beds were very comfortable, we all slept well... And thank goodness for the AC!

We enjoyed this lovely 2 bed, 2 bath, well stocked condo for 1 week with our 2 university aged daughters. It was very clean with comfy king beds. Owner was easy to communicate with. Unit was stocked with dishwasher, laundry and hand soap. Lots of towels, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and snorkel gear. The grounds were beautiful, well maintained and 2 pools available. Directly across from large, sandy Kam II beach. I would stay in this unit again without question should I be lucky enough to return to south Kihei. Car stall was close and easy to access. All positive experiences.

This property in Kehei is a perfect place for two people to stay in Maui. Steps from the beach and centrally located on the west side of the island. The condo property and the condo itself is well maintained and has a ideal view of Maalaea Bay and the setting sun in the evening. It has everything you need for a very nice vacation in Maui. Anita, the host, is very responsive and helpful.

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!

We loved staying in Anita's unit. The condo was well equipped with everything we needed for our trip. It felt like home. Maui was going thru a heat wave and the AC kept up. We walked every where - wonderful beach walks (you can walk along the shore to the harbor and beyond). Anita is a wonderful host and very accommodating. We plan to return to this special place in Kihei.

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.

I stayed 5 nights. The place is newly remolded, loved the cabinets especially. Everything clearly labeled. Well stocked. 2nd floor just a few steps, Great Great view of both the beach and the ocean and green space. Loved walking across the street for coffee or natural grocery store so close. Comfy bed and sleeper sofa.

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!

The property is absolutely gorgeous and is on the beach. The sunset and sunrise views are breath taking. The property owner, August, provided excellent communication and was very welcoming. It is very clean and has every comfort of home. I would recommend to anyone to stay here!

The condo was perfect. So clean and updated with every amenity you could need. Our favorite part was the location with easy access to a beautiful beach (steps away from door to the sand) and everything you could need for a day at the beach. Plus, it was right across the street from some delicious restaurants that we took advantage of on lazy days when we didn't want to hop in the car. The facilities we're top notch and guests at the complex we're quiet and respectful. Aside from the condo and location, Anita was one of the best rental hosts we've ever worked with. She made a point to call us upon reserving to say hi and get to know us. She checked in with us ahead of our trip to make sure we had everything we needed and offer flexibility for check in / out times based on our flights. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND with the extensive condo packet and Maui visitor guide that we used often, plus the welcome champagne and congratulations card (it was our honeymoon). Multiple times throughout our stay my husband and I discussed when we could come back and stay in the same condo. We truly loved our stay and cannot wait to return. Thank you Anita for the warm aloha hospitality! It was a trip we will never forget.

This was our second time staying at Anita's condo. It has everything you’d need and more and you can’t beat the location !t really is a beachfront paradise. The view from the lanai is amazing. We will definitely return again and again!

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 had a wonderful vacation! The condo had amazing views and was very clean! The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed and more. We loved having the beach chairs and other supplies. The location was idea as well. We did have a little problem with the WI-FI but it was resolved. Thank you again August for your hospitality!

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.
