Maui's Best OCEANFRONT Condo!!! See whales, turtles & sunrises from our lanai!

Ken and Lori’s place is spectacular. The view is amazing. There is a sandy beach that goes for at least a mile for sunbathing, snorkeling or your morning beach walk. The beach is adjacent to a national wildlife refuge. The neighborhood is quiet, well except for the lapping of the waves on the beach. Ma’alaea is a small harbor village with several restaurants and shops within walking distance. The pace is less hectic and less crowded than the bigger resort towns and yet pretty much everything you might need or want is within a 10-15 minute drive. The apartment itself was perfect for the 2 of us. And, if you like to cook, the kitchen is amazingly well stocked with dishes and equipment. The lanai is truly oceanfront. We spent a lot of time out there watching sunrises and sunsets. If we come back to Maui, and we’re hoping we will, we would definitely stay here again.

This is a beautiful welcoming condo just outside Kihei. Sleep with the ocean breezes. See turtles at the beach area in front. Everything you need. We loved staying here and would 10/10 choose it again. Mahalo!

Close to marina, a wonderful beach to walk on, beautiful views.

Maui was our last of four islands on a two-week vacation, and wrapping it up at Ken and Lori’s condo was just perfect! Spacious and clean, centrally located, and very comfortable. The incredibly well-stocked kitchen and washer/dryer were very helpful, and the private lanai overlooking the ocean is wonderful! We aren’t typically drawn to pools or hot tubs, but we enjoyed both! Daytime outings included a Haleakala sunset; snorkeling at Honolua Bay; relaxing on a nearby beach; and gorgeous drives along the western shore and the Road to Hana. As many as 15 turtles per night came to rest on the beach in front of the condo at sunset—magical! Staying here was a relaxing and beautiful end to a wonderful vacation. Thank you, Ken and Lori!

Stayed for a month while working on island. Maalaea Banyans is a perfect place to stay. Short drive to most places you want to go. Beautiful beach is a 5 minute walk away. The condo is just right for a couple and has everything you need. Kitchen is well organized and we did a lot of cooking there. Finally the view of the ocean is unobstructed and really priceless.

We really enjoyed our stay here. There was no piece of equipment that wasn't available in the kitchen! The communication was excellent! And we were able to sleep with the door to the lanai open (2nd floor) every night and hear the waves crashing. I miss that sound!

We had a fantastic time!! Mr. Ken was very helpful in planning g our vacation and we had a fantastic time.

Have stayed in this area before and highly recommend it. The property owner was very communicative and checked in to see if our arrival was satisfactory.

We celebrated our Anniversary here and loved every minute! Property is perfectly located, loved seeing Molokini, Haleakala from the lanai; but mostly loved watching the turtles feeding during the day and parading in to rest on the beach at night. We love hiking and snorkeling and had such a great time! Walked to the harbor to join a snorkeling catamaran to Molokini (Trilogy I- excellent), drove to Hana the back loop and enjoyed the all the hikes and views, also Huli Huli chicken at the Red Sand beach! Ken’s tips and suggestions were so helpful and we appreciated all his advice! Grounds of condo are beautiful and well maintained as well!! Very thankful for a blessed trip!!

My wife and I enjoyed or eight-night stay in this cozy and relaxing condo. The unit was very clean, well equipped, and offered a fantastic vantage for watch the numerous pods of whales right from the lanai. The cable and internet worked well but the TV was very small. Normally wouldn't ever watch TV on vacation but we enjoyed watching the local vacation travel info site to learn of the island activities. The condo property manager was enjoyable to talk with and offered tips and information on the many great thing to see and do while in Maui.

Was able to find this listing for a last minute quick trip to Maui to celebrate my birthday and see the whales. Great location as able to see few whales right from the balcony and take trips from the nearby harbor and Kihei. Great to see another part of the island. Looking forward to seeing this listing when rest of update work is done. Communication great.

The location is the centre to everywhere. It's easy to access to many tourist attractions if you have a car. The condo is old but well maintained. The view from living room is gorgeous. There is a small swimming pool and sauna pool just in front of condo. But there's no sand beach for swimming. The kitchen is good and functional. The owners prepared full set of cooking gears, that's the best point. But the toilet needs a lot of cleaning work. Over all we like to stay there. We are considering coming back next year.
