Great helpful friendly staff, lovely grounds, incredible views, choose the exact unit you want to rent, family friendly yet quiet enough for seniors/couples.

If it wasn't for the staff I would give it 5 stars. The location is 5 stars. The room and the…read moreview was 5 stars. However the staff? 1 star. Specifically the facilities staff. My son and I were still in the pool on July 6th or 7th at ~8:20pm. I wasn't paying attention to the time. We were on vacation having a good time. Well I later realized the pool closes at 8pm and I genuinely hadn't noticed the posted sign. An employee (an elderly haole man) came outside and yelled "GET OUT OF THE POOL!!" to which I immediately replied, "OK I'm sorry sir, we are getting out, my apologies I wasn't aware of the time" and we IMMEDIATELY started leaving the pool. Despite that, he continued yelling "GET OUT OF THE POOL!!" I am not kidding he yelled at the top of his lungs at least 5x more times. To the point that I responded that we were already getting out and had apologized, and that repeating it was unnecessary. His response was, "Well, you guys don't know how to read the sign, so you clearly need to be told several times." Wow. I completely understand the pool has posted hours and have no issue being asked to leave once I realized it was closed. That part was my mistake. What was disappointing was the way my 11 year old son and I were treated after we immediately complied. There was no reason to repeatedly yell at us or make disrespectful comments. Guests deserve to be treated with courtesy, even when they've made an honest mistake. I hope management addresses how guests are spoken to, because this interaction left a very negative impression. As a suggestion, it might help to automatically turn the pool lights off (if this happened we would have left immediately) and/or disable the gate keypad when the pool closes. We honestly didn't realize the posted hours and those changes would make it much more obvious that the pool was closed while also preventing situations like this. Because of this my family and I will never stay here again. There are plenty of other options just as good or better on Maui. TLDR: The pool closes at 8pm! If in the pool after be prepared to get yelled at by the staff repeatedly with disrespectful comments made to you and your children.

It was so bad we left a few days early. We asked for partial refund because they never told me about this place being partially destroyed.

Includes folding chairs for sitting on the beach and dining tables too. We booked a partial ocean view room but it was really only a view of the bushes, no ocean visibility. Our wifi didn't work but we connected to the neighbor's. I'd recommend an upstairs unit as you can hear the plumbing from the person above. Also feel like more toilet paper could be provided for longer stays- we ended up purchasing some. Note that they do charge a cleaning fee as part of your reservation and they only clean at checkout. We'd definitely stay here again on our next trip here. It's right on the beach and centrally located. It's not overly touristy like Laihana.

Having chairs and a cooler was very nice - and the wet bar and wine fridge made it feel like home. This place is clean, spacious and VERY WELL set up for relaxation and enjoyment. Parking was easy and very close to our unit. Cannot say enough good things about the owners or the property!!! We are here for our honeymoon but this place would be awesome for two couples or a family to get away that's right on the beach with great dining, shopping and activities close by, but not overrun with people like the major hotels.

The only reason I am giving this place one star is because of the view…read more Apart from a beautiful view, there was nothing good about this place. We stayed in unit 209, when we entered, right away I could tell the place wasn't thoroughly cleaned. The bedsheets and mattress were so old. When we woke up next morning, There were cockroaches and insects everywhere, which were getting into utensils in the kitchen and other stuff. SO DISGUSTING!!!!! When we contacted the host, they immediately got defensive and didn't do anything about it and asked us to do our own cleaning. SO DISRESPECTFUL. We ended up leaving way before our original stay ended TO MOVE TO another much cleaner and habitable accommodations. DO NOT RECOMMEND this property at all. Save your money and find other accommodations in Maui.

Like many reviews left by previous customers; my review echos similar concerns. While I understand…read morethat every business will have both plus and negative reviews, it is what management does after listening to the voices of the customers. With regards to Maalaea Banyans, while it appears they responded with an acknowledge. That's where it stops. No progress or attempts to make changes or to better the establishment. Understand that while many people may visit Maui yearly. Others may take 30 years to finally visit Maui, traveling from clear across the county. We spend $2500 in flight tickets with seat upgrades and luggage fees. Additional $800 for rental car. And then finally the $2017 for the week stay. Take $2017 x 4 weeks x 80 rooms. That's a lot of money even if some of the rooms have residences living there for the business not to spend a little to accommodate their guest for basic toiletries. After being on the plane for 5 hours. We get to our room only to find out that: (1) we have to go buy bathroom soup and shampoo to clean ourselves. (2) no cooking oil to even cook an egg. (3) no salt and pepper. (3) only two rolls of toilet paper. The business knew in advance that there were two adults staying for a week. Do they think 2 rolls would be enough? They don't care. (4) the bed is hard and unsleepable. (5) no air condition. (6) laundry detergent. We had to go out and buy everything. It is not the money that upsets me. It is the lack of empathy and care for their guest. Everything that I've mentioned has been previously reviewed and nothing has been done. Then I saw the taped note from management that was on the refrigerator. It read in short, "...thank you for your stay. We understand that you may have some uneaten food. Please leave it in the fridge for the staff..." Everything made sense after that. I'm to leave the brand new rolls of toilet paper for the next guest. Leave dish soap, cooking oil, salt & pepper. THEY SAVE MONEY.

And her response to our bad review was exaggerated and untruthful. She obviously took it personal even though we said she was kind in our review. I do not recommend her or their Kihei rental house. It had nothing to do with the extra $100 cleaning fee, that's just hilarious. For the money we paid to stay here the house just wasn't worth it. Do yourself a favor and rent elsewhere if you want a good experience, clean house, and a stress free vacation and deposit refund. We also rented through another vacation rental company the week before renting Sherry's Kihei home right next door and had zero problems or complaints about them or from them. Infact I highly recommend them. Go check out Tropical Villa Vacations and ask for Yvonne. You will be much happier I promise!

The condo itself is beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The location is perfect. kihei usually has better weather than other parts of the island and it is basically the mid point of the major tourist spots. Right across her condo is a beach park and she even provided a full set of beach supplies, which made our stay effortless and relaxing.

We planned to stay with our friend, as we do sometimes when we visit Maui, but discovered the house would be full and that would mean sharing one bathroom with 7 people Yes Airbnb!!! I almost booked another place or two, but held out for some reason. I found this spot and wasted no time. The pictures showed how immaculate and well cared for this studio is, but doesn't show you how many amenities there are!! Entering the unit with keyless entry was a breeze. Everything is labeled (who wants to waste their vacation figuring out how the appliances work??) and we found everything we needed in the kitchen, a very clean bathroom with plenty of towels/beach towels and this unit has a vanity! I am one of those women who dread the typical poor hotel lighting and leaning over a huge sink to get close enough. My overnight stays in Maui range from a basic, old- yet charming attached guest quarters in kula to a beach view at Hotel Wailea. While the latter was a ritzy experience, I would rather stay here!!

The photos of this rental did not represent the actual space! Over priced, out dated and unclean! Living room : Had to wash comforter from the second bedroom ( we didn't plan on using ) to cover the very worn sofa, just to relax! One of the two sitting chairs had ice cream or candy stains on the seat ! Kitchen: Was over stocked with unusable cookware- warped frying pans and no baking dishes! Sand flys invaded the counter probably due to the garbage disposal over due for service and the many cockroach traps screamed unwelcome guests would at some point appear! Washrooms : The bathtub was filty dirty and stained, I wouldn't wash my dog in it ! The cabinets were all worn and partial board, totally disgusting!I had to wash the standup shower, sinks and floors before even using! Not to mention the ratty worn out towels that were left to use were awful! Not a hand soap bar to be seen! Only 3 same sample bottle of shampoo, conditioner and body wash was complimentary! The Lanai.. Table and chair set was wobbly, totally garage ! And the not so cute birds that made a nest in the exterior light ( that did NOT work) which my husband had to remove because the property management group did nothing about that after contacting them! We did want to use the lanai to enjoy the beautiful sunsets due to bird poop being present ! so unsanitary! We were expecting a small refund but never did receive a dollar! Save yourself a headache and go elsewhere! So disappointing being our first trip to Maui on our 10th year Anniversary to have it tarnished by money hungry over represented property owners with matching management group! Shame on you all !

This location cannot be beat! We are right on the ocean with a small beach behind a rock sea wall…read morejust steps from the building. We booked through VRBO and stayed 5 nights in unit 311 which has a great ocean view and the sunsets from the lanai are like no other. You might even see some honu (sea turtles) poke their heads up or flick a flipper just beyond the rocks. Most mornings, the local canoe clubs head out early and make a stop in this cove for their morning rituals. Like many condo buildings in Kihei, it is dated, but with good upkeep and maintenance. There are many pluses and some minuses, but again the view is the best. + Location: 20 min drive from Kahului airport and steps from the ocean. + Free parking: If there isn't a hang tag pass in your unit, request one at the lobby office that's open 9am-2pm. + Beach: Family friendly and easily accessible. Most of the lagoon is knee deep and you can wade up to waist deep all the way out to the rock sea wall. If you want waves, go past the rock wall to the other side of the beach. The sun peeks over the building mid-morning. + Pool: Very clean and well maintained. Saw the pool guy every morning skimming debris. 3-6 ft deep. Shower before swimming, Use the pool code to enter and exit. Open 8:30am-8:30pm + BBQ Grills: 3 gas grills by the entrance to the beach for residents use with 2 picnic tables. Saw the staff cleaning them every morning. Look in your unit's kitchen for BBQ tools. + Rooftop access: Another 4 gas grills up top with plenty of tables. Great for stargazing on clear nights. Open 7:30am- 9pm. + Monsoon Bar & Grill: Indian Restaurant right downstairs in the lobby with ocean views. Get the Mango Lassi, Garlic Naan, Samosas and Chicken Tandoori + Sunsets: Awesome Unit #311 + Keyless entry. Just remember your code. + Retrofit split AC unit, but only in the living room. Ceiling fans in LR & BR. + Spectrum Cable TV and WiFi. Password is on the TV. + Samsung 40" Smart HDTV in living room with Netflix login. Wall mounted 32" RCA TV in bedroom, but only has Roku you have to log in your own service. + Full Kitchen w/ microwave, dishwasher, full size refrigerator, electric stove, drip coffee maker & pop-up toaster + Clothes Washer & Dryer + Lanai with ocean view. Great to have breakfast and to watch the sunset in the afternoon - Dated furnishings - Shag carpeting from the 80's I haven't seen since college - Needs some new kitchen utensils - Beach chairs, umbrella & boogie boards have seen better days, but are free to use - AC compressor is out in the lanai, so blows hot air when on if you're sitting outside
