We actually didn't get to stay here, just reviewing off of what we did see in the 30 minutes we dropped in. Our flights were delayed a whole day. The hurricanes were moving in and we were told by Gail the electricity may get shut off due to the hurricanes coming through and threat of possible fires, so we went closer to the resorts and wetter side of the island. It was a rough first visit to Maui but it was eye opening.

Great view and location. Sadly the screens on the windows were broken and letting in bugs. We would find them in the bedroom and living room. Also the air conditioning system is in the living room so the cooler air doesn’t reach the bedroom.

Condo was great, in a central location, and the host had great communication. I would stay here again!

We stayed on 3 of the Hawaiian islands. Gail was by far the most responsive and helpful host. The room was clean, comfortable and good location, although we drove the entire island in our 4 day stay. The view is beautiful from the patio where we enjoyed our coffee and drinks in the evening while enjoying the ocean sounds. We enjoyed our stay in Maui. Thanks again.

This unit had all we needed. The kitchen was stocked well to have some meal in. There was plenty of linens and even some snorkels and beach items. The location on the water was wonderful. We saw sea turtles from the balcony. The AC unit didn't work great so we just opened a window and the balcony sliding door and had a fantastic breeze the whole day. The pool and hot tub were perfect after a day of exploring. I felt the location was central to the many things we did all over the island. It is not in a main touristy area so you will drive to do the normal things but we did activities in every direction so it worked great for us. They do require a refundable deposit which I was not used to, but I did get it back about a week later.

We stayed for 9 nights. It was fantastic. The 3rd bedroom area was a bit warm, but nothing too terrible. The space was exactly what we needed for our small group. The location was easily accessible and convenient. The check in and out processes were easy and had no issues. We will definitely be back.

Stayed for a month while working on island. Maalaea Banyans is a perfect place to stay. Short drive to most places you want to go. Beautiful beach is a 5 minute walk away. The condo is just right for a couple and has everything you need. Kitchen is well organized and we did a lot of cooking there. Finally the view of the ocean is unobstructed and really priceless.

Clean and good layout with a fantastic ocean view. Access to a grill, pool and hot tub made our stay very enjoyable. A/C in first floor bedroom was not connected properly so the room did not cool down without an incoming breeze from the the balcony. Nice kitchen.

The property fits the bill for a (relatively) cheap place to stay with a lovely view. It’s convenient for accessing all parts of the island & quick to get to from the airport with easy parking. The property itself is a bit older but has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

We had a very big scare when we were having a private moment and a man just let himself into our rental. We were very scared and felt unsafe. After that, we have the interaction on recording, but I definitely need a resolution offered. This is unacceptable and a very upset that this happened to us.

The view was breathtaking. The condo was as described. We loved all the extra thought into the little things available...such as a cooler, beach towels, bbq utensils, etc. We spent a lot of meals, cards, games on patio because it was cooler. The AC didn’t really cool the condo off much, bedroom AC blew out warm air. Leaving ceiling fan on a patio door open did better. May we suggest maybe flipping tv/entertainment center to wall in living room where couch currently is, then add a small sectional couch where tv currently is. Create more comfortable family seating. Three people tops can sit on current couch to watch movie/tv, leaves everyone else pulling up chairs. Microwave door is very inconvenient, needs to swing other direction. Patio door was off track so opened really hard, lights in main bathroom did not work ...other than that, very satisfied!

The condo was clean, well stocked with kitchen supplies, beach chairs & mat and small cooler. Condo is located in an ideal spot to hit up all sides of Maui without being stuck in a tourist area. Local bar has happy hour from 12-6 pm daily with an amazing view of the harbor!!
Definitely would stay here again

We had an amazing stay in this property. Perfectly located and a lovely place - would love to return. We watched the turtles and spent several days at the beach at the end of the road. Shops and restaurants within walkable distance.

The room was clean and well stocked with most everything you need except spices. Normally the places we have stayed in has at least salt and pepper, some a cornucopia of of the previous quest spices. The balcony view was beautiful. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful as well. Unless you are on the first floor there is no access to them from 10pm to 7:30 am. Being a morning person that was disappointing. This was the first out of 3 condos on this street that was the case. It does have a washer and dryer but no laundry soap, so if you intend to use it bring it with you. Air-conditioning is there if you need it, we live off grid and shut it off. The breeze is more the enough. We enjoyed our stay here.

We have a comfortable stay at the property. However we find that the cleaning service was poor. We found wet laundry in the washer, the toilet was dirty, counter top wasn't cleaned well, the floor was a little sticky. We cleaned all ourselves except for the floor. We called the owner and I believed the cleaner was called but we thought nobody came. We were forwarded the cleaner's contact to have us call the cleaner instead. We didn't take up on the offer. We find we paid for the cleaning service but the service was not provided. Other than the cleanliness, the apartment is well equipped. There are snorkels, fins, sand toys, chairs. We bought a boogie board and left that behind for the next guest. We also bought a new big nonstick pan and left that behind. The non stick coatings on all the other pans have been heavily scratched.

First time to Maui and this was a great central location as we ventured out each day, plus it was walking distance to the harbor where we did a couple of tours. View from the balcony was exactly what I wanted for our stay on the island and having 3 separate sleeping spaces worked well for our family.

Our room we reserved was updated as best as could be but the overall property is dated. The hallways are dark and elevator was dated.
Maalaea seems to be the most windy part of the island so be ready for the wind.
There is only 1 AC in the condo which is in the living area.
The back bedroom can get warm, so you need to sleep with the windows open. With the wind and noise from the outside, might make it hard to sleep at night.

The condo indeed had breathtaking views but lacked the alohoa spirit. There were turtles on the beach everyday! We were even blessed to see the Hawaiian monk seal on the beach as well. The condo was nicely stocked with essentials. We are early risers and were excited to walk down to the beach in the morning but quickly realized that unless you are on the ground floor, there is no beach access due to everything being locked and gated until after management unlocks it in the morning.
Several interactions with the property management left us feeling like we were walking on eggshells. One interaction took when we arrived after a long flight. Our grandchildren were eager to play at the pool but after being told the 5 year old was being too loud we packed up and never did use the pool area as a family again. The close proximity of the pool area to the lower level condos might make this a less than ideal location for families with young children. In addition, be aware the wind blows a lot in this area. I had thought that we would have the same wind patterns as Kihei but that was not the case, the wind blows everyday all day. A beautiful condo with breathtaking views but the limited access to the beach and negative interactions with management kept us from feeling welcome and experiencing the aloha spirit.

This was our family’s first trip to Maui, and we were very happy overall with our stay here. The condo is very centrally located to whatever direction we wanted to go on the island making our activities easy to access. The condo itself is very comfortable and has a terrific view ( we loved sitting on the lanai watching the sea turtles!). The host was very communicative ahead of our trip and when we checked in. The only minor things that could have been improved was that one of the provided beach chairs was broken. Additionally, there was no cooler provided for beach trips. Overall, we were very happy with our stay!

Our family of 4 had an outstanding stay at this condo. The three bedrooms allowed my husband and I as well as each of our sons (19 and 22) to have our own space but also provided areas to hang out together. The kitchen is small but very well equipped -- and the outdoor grill on the property was a nice bonus. The road behind the building dead ends at a park with a nice beach for morning walks. The location was perfect for exploring the island as it's centrally located on the west side near lots of resorts and beaches and also an easy drive to Paia and the road to Hana for a completely different experience. Point Break Pizza in the shopping area at Maalaea Harbor is exceptionally good if you don't feel like cooking and do not sleep on Hula Cookies & Ice Cream in the same area. We were able to watch sea turtles, tons of surfers and a harbor seal from our balcony. We also really appreciated the beach and snorkel equipment provided. Melanie and Neil were communicative and responsive. Highly recommend!

This was a very cute apartment and located in a great location! We loved the view of the ocean from the balcony! The power had went out for a couple hours during our stay one day. We were able to get in touch with the owners. They were quick to respond and was able to contact the property manager to assist. Turns out the whole street had lost power but the power company got it back on fairly quickly. No other issues! Would highly recommend!

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).

We stayed with you off the recommendation of my sister-in-law's visit with you. She was very happy with her stay overall which led to us booking and staying in the same location. Very clean and perfect location to watch the turtles play every morning and evening. Wish we had more accessible beach, but the short walk brought the same experience. Look forward to our next visit!

We loved our stay in this ocean front condo. Very central location, close to airport and freeways. The condo was clean and had all listed amenities. Plenty of space for a family of 4. Best part is the lanai with gorgeous ocean views, and watching the sea turtles play in the waves right in front of us!

This property was great for a week + stay! It was super easy to check in, the code worked without issues and to park you just filled out a card for a parking pass at the front desk. The property was clean, quiet, and in a great location! Views from the 2nd floor balcony were beautiful and we were able to watch the sunrise from it a few mornings. The little beach was less than a 5 minute walk away, and never crowded! The property also had enough towels, grill equipment, coolers, and beach toys/supplies for our entire stay. My only complaint was there wasn’t very many cleaning products available, such a disinfecting wipes or sprays, which was miner but would have been nice. Overall, a great stay and would definitely go back!

Nothing but great things to say about our stay at Maalea Banyans. Check-in/Out process was very streamlined, room was very clean upon arrival, and the management was very professional by being available at any time while leaving us to our peace and quiet at all times. Turtles to QUIETLY observe every evening without fail, friendly cats that will come spread love every now and then, sounds of the ocean less than 100’ from our patio day and night, and overall quiet environment to enjoy 24 hours of every day. Absolutely recommend to anyone visiting the island looking for peace and quiet with the best type of Island-feel you can get. First place we’ll be checking availability for from here on when planning trips to Maui 👌

Pros: Great unit with washer and dryer for longer stays. Close to the swimming pool and the beach for nice sunsets.
Cons: Doors are squeaky, cockroaches, bathroom sink and shower drain very slow and I've stayed here multiple times and it's still the same.
I'm here mostly for work but having slow drains when showering and using the sink is frustrating.
I hope these issues get cleared up. Otherwise a great place to stay.
