Maalaea Banyans #403 Ocean Front Location, Top Floor, Excellent View, Wifi

With an absolutely gorgeous view, this spot was nicely secluded and quiet with the sound of ocean waves putting us to sleep. There were sea turtles we could see from the balcony. Would be happy to return.

Is totally worth the stay just for the view!! lost count how many whales we saw from the balcony! Awesome! Also saw sea turtles just below on the shore of the condo!! just a couple areas for improvement white floor trim was bare in a few spots, one drawer of refrig did not work ( but no problem still lots of space in frig, and one window shade was torn some at the bottom- we reported both issues and was offered help if needed but we did not believe either issue would alter our stay. Only other issue was getting a copy of final bill from rental company- took 2 emails and a phone call still waiting- guess this is by request only and not automatic.We would definitely stay again and hope to! thanks for sharing your home with us!!

The view from the balcony was spectacular! The condo, not so much. The windows and door leak and howl in the wind. The bathrooms don’t have vents or windows, therefore the humidity lingers. In general, this condo is in need of a serious overhaul.

Great location. The air condition situation was horrible. No extra boxes of Kleenex tissue as one had just one sheet and the other was low. The microwave and dryer are too high for short people.

We enjoyed our stay. Had a small issue with the toilet not flushing towards the end of our stay but it was promptly addressed by the owner as were any questions we had. The only things we would change if we could would be the AC not being on a timer as it got hot during the night and more available hot water for the shower, but it wouldn’t deter us from staying again!! Beautiful property!

Top floor view, near the harbor for dinner cruise, watched the honu from the lanai, Mahalo!

Excellent property. Unit has a nice layout and very functional. Highly recommend

Loved our stay here. 2 adults in main room, and 2 teens in upstairs room. We each had our own bathrooms which was nice. The view is the real selling point though...honestly the best we saw on the island being right on the water with views of Haleakala as well. 4 beach chairs and an umbrella were very nice too. Great central location.

Great location, small park with nice beach at end of deadend road.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location - close to other famous beaches, on waterfront where we could see turtles swimming in the “backyard,” balcony area opens up to waterfront, and very close to the airport. We rented a car so everything very accessible. We didn’t use pool or hot tub which are in the smaller side. Place itself was cute and spacious and was nice to have fridge and microwave. Great to have your own room and bathroom also. Overall enjoyed this place!

Loved the stay. The pictures were accurate

This is a great place to stay. For January it was quiet and peaceful without crowds of people. Its a smaller condominium and we liked that. You do have to drive to everything but that was not a problem either since people need to get out and explore the island anyways. The only thing I could suggest is softer mattresses, but that is a personal preference too.

Really enjoyed the pace and tranquility of the location and the gorgeous view from the balcony. Hot tub was nice and hot and they were never too many people around. Nice quiet, relaxed vibe.

This property was very centrally located and the views were fantastic. Communication with the property manager was great and the pool, hot tub, and beach at the end of the street were great after a long day. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the unit and property were clean but worn. The towels were thin and the pillows flat but overall would stay again.

The unit was very nice, had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable.

While working in Kahului, I chose to stay at the Maalaea Banyans which was a great decision! The location was perfect for my daily commute to work and it an easy walk down the street to catch our weekend excursion to Molokini Crater to go snorkeling. The property was very clean, the hot tub and pool were a great addition, I appreciated having cable TV as well as Netflix to watch movies after the sun went down. The only thing that could have made our stay better was that the air conditioning didn’t keep the bedrooms as cool as we would have liked. We did use the box fan we found upstairs to help circulate the air which helped some. We read the other reviews and thought it would be okay but it just didn’t cool down enough for us at night and it was hot. Otherwise, a great stay and highly recommend this property!

We stayed at a condo in this complex in 2018 which was rented from a private individual so somewhat knew the lay of the land. Good property overall: spectacular view, grills, pool, hot tub (didn’t use any of the facilities this time). Parking is adequate and the grounds are nice. Property is a tad dated and this condo was definitely wanting for some TLC (3 curtains over one window) and peeling paint. I understand that’s potentially partly due to salt air but be aware regardless Overall it was decent but not fantastic. Probably the biggest headache was the AC. One small “window” unit in the living room and a large portable one in the lower bedroom. Oscillating tower fan provided only in the upper loft bedroom which seemed strange given the need and the low cost for these. Both AC units were on twist timers and so shut off by themselves. Bedroom one had a longer timer (6 hrs?) and main area was 2 hours or so. Neither could keep up with the heat and following directions meant shutting it all down every time you leave. Seems logical on paper for cost but then humidity increases dramatically thru glass tilt windows and it never gets it back under control. Bedroom unit had a small drain hose dripping into a plastic waste basket which we discovered would fill up (thankfully before it overflowed). I didn’t remember reading anything about this important responsibility so if it’s not in the listing be aware. Mgmt company communication was great.

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.

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!
