Rental Details

Property Overview

Sleep to the sound of the lapping surf on the shore below Maalaea Banyans 411, which features forever, spectacular penthouse level ocean views from the living room and lanai. Located beach front adjacent to picturesque Maalaea Harbor, this property has a stretch of soft, sandy beach and a vibrant snorkeling reef right out front. Watch turtles and whales (in season) meander by, and enjoy a refreshing fresh-water swim at the ocean front pool.

Ideally and centrally located between Kihei and Lahaina, this property creates a totally immersive ocean experience, steps from the elevator. The condo features cable, AC in the living room, and WiFi, a kitchen set up to prepare and serve your private tropical feast, and a lanai from which to savor the legendary Maui sunsets, or just relax to the rhythm of the ocean below. Permit-only guest parking.

The unit sleeps four in consummate style, with two nicely separated bedrooms; one upstairs, one down. There is an AC unit in the living room, but not in either bedroom. The unit enjoys cooling from the trade winds blowing through the center of the island off of the ocean. Two blocks away, Maui's world-renowned Aquarium, several great restaurants, ice cream, coffee, and other “essentials” await. Don't miss the new 3D whale experience at Maui Ocean Center. Also, there is excellent hiking less than a half mile away, across the west Maui mountains, where captivating ocean views await. Explore one of the island's best-kept secret beaches (except for the locals) a few hundred yards up the shoreline from the property.

The view from the lanai was absolutely stunning and the condo had everything to be perfect for our vacation for a family of 4. The pool was beautiful and clean, turtles visited the beach daily, and the condo itself was perfectly set up. Great central location too to explore the whole island. There is only 1 Walmart on the entire island and the condo was only 15-20 minutes from it, so that was very helpful too. The only thing we found difficult was that our flight didn't leave until 5pm on our day of check out. We had planned to do some activities that day but realized that we would have to leave our luggage in the car because checkout was at 10am. We were told that theft from cars is high on the islands and not to leave anything in the car. We asked but we're not allowed to leave our luggage at the condo that day so that unfortunately made us unable to do much our final day. I completely understand, it's just good to be aware of if you plan to head out on your last day.

Awesome location and great hosts! 10/10 view and a perfect central spot for exploring the island. It's an older building, but very well kept and clean. The only minor things were the mattress could be a bit more comfortable and the ceiling fan had a small noise until we adjusted the setting. Overall, the stay was fantastic and we would definitely come back again.

Beautiful condo with incredible oceanfront views. Waking up to palm trees and waves right off the balcony was unforgettable. Peaceful location, well-kept grounds, and the perfect spot to relax and enjoy Maui.

The location of this condo was great. Easy access to roads that take you every direction on the island. Every morning you can wake up and enjoy a coffee on the porch and watch the turtles eating along the shoreline.

Wonderful views of the ocean great place to stay very comfortable in the condo with the air-conditioning and windows open in the evening gave a great breeze and called off the rooms. We saw many many sea turtles snorkel and loved the monk seal that visit us every evening. Great place all around!

We had a great stay, loved the balcony! The second bedroom is actually upstairs in the loft open area so there is no privacy, please note! There is very nice local beach and park for morning runs just minutes away! The location is 15-20 minutes from other larger towns including the airport. Close by there isn’t much but a Starbucks.

Absolutely wonderful stay here! The views were stunning, we saw a lot of sea creatures from the balcony, the AC worked great, it was a short walk to the beach, and it was a great, central location for all of the must-see Maui locations!

Overall had a great vacay at this condo. The location was perfect for us as centrally located and easy to get to different parts of the island. It is a very quiet area and beautiful quiet beach within minutes walk. We enjoyed eatching the ehales and turtles from the deck each morning and evening which was a nice feature. The condo served its purpose while a few small items could have been checked prior to pur visit such as making sure drains were working but the management werw quick to repolspond and addesss.

There were many issues wrong with the general upkeep such as broken couch bed, sliding door needs repair to track as it was extremely hard to open, virtually no storage in the master bedroom and bed listed in amenities as a king and it was a queen. Maui rental agency did actively work to fix issues and gave me a partial refund as my daughter had to sleep on an inflatable bed.her whole stay except one night. I believe that the rental people should do an occasional inspection of these properties. They did change the amenities list to queen bed. The final recommendation would be to put a dresser with drawers in the master instead of 2 tables pushed together with triangle shaped openings in the front. My husband had to put his open suitcase under the bed because there was inadequate storage.

The pictures are deceiving. The building is very rundown. The elevator is over a year expired on being serviced. The patio door is loud and very hard to open/ broken track, we had grandma with us and had to open it for her it was so hard.You cant have food unless its in the fridge because they have a infestation of ants and they are bad if there's any food. Alot of the dishes we pulled out of drawers and knife block were put away with food stuck to them. Water pressure is terrible making it hard to remove sand from your hair. Pool /beach access closes at 9pm. Overpriced. mediocre and not worth what we paid. There are tons of homeless living on the road right behind the parking lot and the parking lot smells like sewer everytime you go to your vehicles.great view from patio and saw turtles on beach. Beds were clean and comfortable. thatclose m

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.

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.

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.

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!

My sister and I had the pleasure of staying at this property for 5 nights in March. The previous time we visited Maui, we stayed in Wailea, and found the location of this condo to be preferable due to its easy access to Kahului, Kaanapali, Kihei, and Kapalua. It was also very easy to get in and out of and parking was a breeze. We appreciated having two separate bathrooms and sleeping areas so that we could both have our privacy. Waking up to the amazing view was such a great way to start the day. Every day, we saw breaching humpback whales and sea turtles from the lanai. In fact, we took a whale watching tour and felt as though our view of the whales from our lanai was better! The kitchen was well stocked, which allowed us to save some money by cooking some of our meals and eating leftovers. The only drawbacks, which were small, were the noise from others walking past the window of the back bedroom which is located right off of the main walkway when you get off the elevator. And although there were window screens on the windows, when we opened up the windows to take advantage of the breeze and not have to use the AC, huge moths made their way into the condo. These were definitely not deal-breakers for us and we found ways to work around them. We would stay here again when visiting Maui.

Place was exactly as described. Centrally located so easy commute to rest of island. Perfect location for whale watching. We saw so many whales from the lanai.

This property was just as pictured on Vrbo. It was a beautiful spot to wake up in the morning and watch the whales breaching while enjoying a coffee on the deck. It was a quiet resort which was nice to come home to after a busy day out exploring the island. We found the pool area to be challenging for our 3 young children (10, 7 & 4) to fully enjoy in the way their age category likes to play in a pool as the property managers were very quick to tell them to not jump, splash, be loud or play any games in the pool (eg “Marco Polo”) on several occasions. It just felt very unrealistic, unfriendly and not very welcoming. The small sandy beach with rocky water access right in front of the property made for easy access to snorkelling (seeing lots of turtles!), paddle boarding and kayaking. Other than the property managements “passive aggressive” nature, we really enjoyed our vacation at this location.

Had a great time staying here. Location isn't great. Kihei and Kaanapali are the main beach areas. Unit was very clean. Room can get a little warm as there is no AC in bedrooms. Area is quiet and peaceful. Good if you plan day trips out.
