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.

The location was great during the day and quiet at the evening. It was centrally located of anywhere we went to during our stay. I would definitely come again.

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!

Good condo with ocean front view. Condo is centrally located. Place has all the basic items you may need. Furniture and kitchen cabinetry need a little TLC. Very nice to have washer and dryer in unit.

Never cooled upstairs, even with 3 fans, sweated everynight. Very uncomfortable.
Could never stay there again.
Tolit clogged, even had to be removed off base and re installed. Very disappointing.

Condo was well maintained and clean. Had most of all expected equipment and goods. Was a little surprised very little kitchen supplies, i.e. salt, pepper, some kind of oil, napkins, etc. were available. Location was great. Also, surprised at some of the stringent rules for guests.

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.

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!

Great stay. The property was as advertised with a very communicative owner. Great A/C kept us cool each night except the attic room. The attic room bed was a little too solid as well. But overall a great stay, great location, great amenities.

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.

It a 80 unit four story property with a elevator, this unit on the 2nd floor. Beautiful Oceanfront view of Kahoolavi, Molokini and So Maui. Heated pool and Spa, with Oceanfront BBQ's. The unit has a confortable queenbed, adequate air conditioning and ceiling fans in living and bedroom. It has a large washer and dryer and everything you would need for your stay. I really enjoyed the stay and likely will return again.

I would def stay here again. Great and convenient location for all activities on Maui. The property is well maintained. Fun to see turtles in the little beach access by the condo complex. However if you are looking for a large sandy beach to swim/hang out on the beach area here is very small and rocky so you would have to drive or walk down the road to a more sandy beach but that didn’t bother us since we mainly explored the island. The sunrise is beautiful from the balcony. The condo has a washer/dryer which was great and included detergent which is really helpful to not have to pack for a week trip. There were also beach chairs, body board, beach towels, and ice chest which was helpful for a beach day. There is AC but it is in the living room so it gets a little hot at night in the bedroom since it’s in the back of the condo. Gail was very nice, provided great communication/information and was responsive. There is a nice little shopping area with restaurants within walking distance. We loved hanging out on the balcony in the morning and really enjoyed our time. Overall was a great experience and a great option.

We found this property to be perfect. Close to everything but in an area that was not busy. Sea turtles come up on the beach at night. The park at the end of the street gives you access to a great beach. The balcony view is outstanding. Gail was very responsive and helpful.

My fiancée and I stayed here for 4 days and we really enjoyed the place. The view is amazing and you will never get tired of it looking at it any time of the day. The place was super clean, check in instructions were clear and easy, and everything you need from cleaning supplies to beach chairs are provided. Super awesome place and host seemed thoughtful because of everything that was provided. Highly recommend!

Perfect location to explore rest of island. Aquarium within walking distance. Had a couple minor issues, management was right on it. Really should have handrails on stairway going up to upper bedroom and should have a pullout sofa bed that is a little more user friendly.

This location and condo are both terrific! Very comfortable condo with everything we needed. Location was superior - close to the marina, shopping, restaurants. We had a blast watching sea turtles (on the beach and in the water) and enjoyed a fun whale watching cruise. Really nice beach park a short walk away as well. When we come back to Maui, we will definitely stay here again.

The condo was a great home base for our multi generational group of 6. Melanie was very responsive to our questions and gave very clear and simple checkin/checkout directions.
The view was amazing, listening to the waves at night was pleasant and exploring the little beach was fun for the kids.
Location wise it was very easy to get most places in the island. Everything was 15-25 minutes away. There was however limited restaurants and shops nearby. We did find a great local pizza place at the harbor shopping center.

The condo presented exactly like the pictures. I love Maalaea because it's quiet, on the bay and really centrally located. We treated our son and nephew for their high school senior trip. They lived the lift room and having their own bathroom, the views, breakfast on the lanai and Maui never disappoints. It's walking distance to sugar beach, the aquarium, the harbor and a few shops and restaurants. Great spot!

Amazing stay at this condo! The location was ideal; quiet, centrally located, close to harbor & shops. Nice pool & relaxing hot tub. Loved the ground floor patio. Loved seeing the green sea turtles come up on the beach at night to sleep. Had everything we needed. Would absolutely stay here again.
