Great location right across the street to the beach. Easy walk to stores and restaurants.Beautiful grounds, pools and hot tubs.
The 2 bathrooms were a plus.The condo was very cheerful, clean, comfortable and well stocked. Nicely decorated with Hawaiian themed art.

Maui Banyans is a great complex. Clean pools, amazing grounds and great location.
We’ve stayed there several times before. This VRBO was disappointing for the amount charged.
Patio wasn’t well kept up, most of the gear provided like chairs and snorkel stuff was so old it was rusted/unusable. Really old food in the cupboard and fridge. Both A/C units ran , but did not cool the rooms. This felt like one of the most frustrating things because when you pay hotel prices you expect for things to work well. We killed at least 12 cockroaches over the week and a half we were there and there is a warning about it on the welcome info so we kept our food in closed containers. One or two- no big deal…12?!
The last thing that was wrong was that one of the showers would not drain at all. I reached out to the owner about this and they sent a plumber the next morning, but after they fixed it you still couldn’t shower for more than 3 mins without overfilling the shower.
I feel like it shouldn’t be the renters job to report all these problems when they come to stay.
Long story short it felt like a place where cleaners come in between guests, but the owners must never be there to check in on things.
This vacation was a splurge for us and I am really upset that I went through VRBO and a private owner because the people we traveled with stayed in the same complex, went through Costco so it was a lot less money, had a mid-week cleaning, and had a MUCH better condo.

This property looks better in the pictures than it is. It feels like the owners are making improvements but it's not quite there yet to get a better rating. We were in this complex with other family members who had nicer units. The location is great.

We have visited Maui Banyan many time.
I was a bit taken aback by the unmentioned “Host Fee”.
The unit was exactly as expected except for the fact that the patio door curtains were more than difficult to use without the proper hardware. The patio door itself was another level of difficulty.

We had an amazing time. The unit has everything you could possibly need and more; every kitchen gadget (including blender and electric kettle), condiment, cleaning supply (including laundry detergent), beach need (boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and more!), etc.! The unit looks recently remodeled and it was so cute. We loved the floor-level lanai. We enjoyed the BBQs and outdoor space. The only drawback is that the unit is located in the last building, farthest away from the beach. So the walk to the beach was a bit much for my elderly mom. But still close enough that it’s definitely walkable if you’re able, especially to some of my favorite beaches (such as Kamaole II, which has great snorkeling) and to some restaurants/shops. They even had plastic plates and cups for little kids. Very family friendly. Overall a great experience. Communication was good throughout. Can’t complain!

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay. The condo had everything we needed. I was a little concerned about the partial parking lot view but it ended up not being a big deal. It was quiet while we were there. Nice walk to beach across the street and close to many shops and restaurants. Pool area was nice although we didn’t use it . Property is very pretty

This condo was awesome! The kitchen was fully stocked with absolutely everything you could ever need. There is even have a beach umbrella and beach chairs. We left a sand mat and a couple of floaties for the next guests to enjoy! You couldn’t ask for a more perfect location right across the street from beaches and close to many restaurants and shops. We had a lovely, relaxing time and will definitely be back!

Overall the property was good,clean and well equipped. Everything we needed for the beach was appreciated. We were there for over 3 weeks, first week was great and then the tearing up of the pool deck started which wasn’t good as the noise was terrible. I can appreciate maintenance has to be done but I feel that if we were informed of that we might not have stayed there! Barb was great to answer our concerns and the owners of the condo offered us a token $20.00 off for 14 nights which I guess it’s better than nothing.

We enjoyed our stay here! The condo is very comfortable and both the living room and bedroom have access to the balcony which was really special. The kitchen is as big as it looks in the photos and had everything you could ever need.
We appreciated the close proximity to the beach and the super short walk to the pool. Everything was great, and the host was quick to respond to our questions and was so kind and helpful! We are excited to book this spot again in the future!

We loved this condo for our extended family of 7, including our one year old. The cleanliness surpassed my expectations. The one bedroom door off the main living area is kind of see through, but hanging up black out curtains here helped. Very well stocked kitchen in terms of plates/cutlery/pots and pans etc. No salt/pepper/oil, etc. The condo was in a great location and even had beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, and a pop up tent which was amazing (especially traveling with a baby).

We've stayed at the Maui Banyan before and had a much better unit for the same price. This particular unit was extremely outdated and had little to NO amenities. Be prepared to buy all your toiletries including soap toilet paper, shampoo, etc.

I loved staying at this listing. The unit was updated and well stocked with towels, beach chairs, an umbrella and small amenities. The bed was also comfortable! It was right next to the beach and honestly couldn’t have been a faster walk There was construction going on and a water shut off but communication was provided ahead of time so I expected it. Overall, highly recommended.

The unit was updated and well maintained. All amenities were provided and much appreciated. Bed was very comfortable and air conditioning was much appreciated.
The only inconvenience was parking. The reserved parking space was located on the 3rd level and could only be accessed by the stairs. Quite cumbersome especially when loading and unloading items.

The Maui Banyan is a very nice clean condo. It’s the best one on the corner with lots of foliage around the back porch on ground level and right across from parking. It’s a short walk across the street to the beach and many other restaurants, shops, and beaches nearby. We surfed, snorkeled, and went on a hike with waterfalls. Would definitely stay again!

The Maui Banyan property was great, this condo needs updating. The dishes, pots and pans are old, worn and in short supply. There are other beautiful condos at the banyan and this one needs to be on the update list.

The condo is in the best location right across from the beach with a view of the ocean and Haleakala. It has a comfortable bed and had everything we needed. Highly recommend this condo and would book it again next time! Thanks again Barb!

It was perfect for us. We loved our balcony view and ate breakfast there every morning. Close walking distance to our favorite restaurant and the ocean with great snorkeling was across the street. We got a condo with two rooms. We thought the second door was locked but pushed hard and it opened. The place was clean and beautiful. We would love to stay here again! Well worth it!

The pros: check in was easy and efficient, it was near the beach and places to eat. Cost was affordable to stay and liked having two restrooms. The host provided towels and amenities needed.
The Cons: the unit/building is old and needs updating. The unit itself had a 2 window AC units that were not clean and made it a nightmare for those suffering from allergies. They were installed low and furniture blocking the air from circulating. Vents were filthy and water condensation was forming on furniture creating potential for mold. Plus controlling the temperature was difficult. Most places do not have central air just fyi if you have allergies because Hawaii has year round pollen and ragweed. Also want to mention the area has a lot of homeslessness not a con but just make you aware.

We love coming to Maui and enjoy staying at the Banyan condo's. I would not rent this unit again because of the AC and lack of kitchen utensils, dishes, etc.
I did reach out to management but they told me there wasn't anything they could do since it was owner owned.
It took several days for it to get comfortable. Also, there was not ample supply of bathroom towels, or kitchen utensils. We had to wash dishes everyday and did laundry in order to have clean towels.

Dated property and not very clean, but the location made up for that. Walking distance to some good restaurants and shopping.
Plenty of dishes, cutlery, Tupperware, spices, etc. Beach items were also available to borrow. Multiple BBQ grills by the pool area were available to use.
No central A/C, but each unit had a swamp cooler that kept the units cool enough.
Fortunately, we didn't have the roach and ant problem discussed in previous reviews.
