I want to start out saying the view is wonderful & my family enjoyed their stay overall. We had difficulty gaining access to the Vrbo, partially my fault because my email was not working. I tried to contact the host call/messaging, but there was no answer until I called Vrbo customer service to which, after an hour, they connected me to another partner in Kauai which gave me an access key. She told me I also should have gotten a text as well with instructions, but i unfortunately did not & she was apologetic & sincere. The unit was very convenient, scenic & relaxing. Only issue was the air conditioning. There is only one little unit down stairs & it was a bit of an issue for us sleeping upstairs. It took almost two days to somewhat cool down up there, it stayed mainly warm majority of the time. The upstairs bed also had stains on the side of the covers, everything else seemed to be clean. We stayed a week & we were running low on paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper. I tried to communicate to the host to see if they had any extra, but no answer. We did end up just buying more. Overall, we did enjoy our stay & the views. I would say there should be more convenience with communication.
Beautiful property with a great location!! You’re only 20-30 minutes to locations like Paia and Kaanapali. The apartment was clean/updated, the beds were comfortable, the patio view was incredible (we saw whales and turtles while drinking our coffees!). Highly recommend and would book again!
The condo was very nice nicely stocked with everything you need. The only problem was it was not mentioned in the listing, and not mention by the rental agency that elevator was not working my wife has bad knees we were on the fourth floor. She has sustained more injury to her knees, going up and down the stairs I will be seeking compensation through my attorney since management would not return my calls or emails on this manner. coldwell Banker property management is just in for the money. They will be losing a lot of money now when I get done.
good location.
great view.
it gets a little stuffy on a hot day even with the A/C in the bedrooms.
Comfortable otherwise. Cute decor
Clean grounds, pool and hot tub.
I would book again
Great view! Weird very strict rules... old building with terrible AC... just count on a good view... nothing else was impressive.
The view was amazing and it was wonderful hearing the waves at night. Condo was immaculate upon arrival and the kitchen is well-provisioned. It was nice being between Kihei and Lahaina and there are a couple of restaurants within walking distance. We saw turtles and whales from the balcony (mid-March).
The couch and beds uncomfortable. The futon/frame was terrible. My 10yo son put the futon mattress on the floor. We ended up purchasing a twin memory foam from Walmart to put on top of the mattress.
It was quiet and peaceful at night.
This Maaleaa Banyons condo lived up to its description. It was a wonderful location on the island, and the unit and grounds were in perfect shape. We like to cook, and the kitchen had every amenity to make that easy. True, there is no beach right out front, but it was an easy walk to the park at the end of the road, with a lovely sandy beach, shady trees, and no waves to knock you over while trying to enjoy the water. And I did enjoy watching the turtles that congregate among the rocks in front of the condo. The only thing that disappointed was the outdoor dining table and chairs on the unit's lanai. They were uncomfortable to sit in, and because they sit up very high, it was difficult to get in and out of your chair.
The location to view the whales could not be any better. Other than sometimes the view was obstructed by the palm leaves 😜. We see whales daily.
The location is central to many things but a car is needed. The floors were a bit dusty and likely due to sand. It was bearable wearing slippers or socks. No big deal and not worth having the management redo it.
The unit was well stocked with all the necessarites for a great stay.
Airport flight path does go over area which is not an issue for us but for the noise sensitive might be an issue. We definitely would stay here again. Great value.
This place is a compact 2 bedroom that has an amazing view of the ocean and whales at play (in winter) as well as a view of the entire mountain of Haleakala right off the Lanai. Nice kitchen, nice bedrooms. Seating (one couch, no chairs - except for bar chairs and outside chairs), and dining not the best, but useable.
The location was nicely placed close to a nice beach and shops/restaurants and harbor. Saw turtles daily! Nice unit and timely communication with owners. Great space for 2 people as not set up for more than that regarding eating. Small kitchen and hallways made it challenging to prep meals and enter/exit unit with items in hand. Overall very nice!!

We love this place! Very quiet. Kitchen well stocked and love to sit on the lanai! Close to a nice beach walk that isn’t crowded.
The only thing I would change is the sofa. It is very firm and becoming uncomfortable. Also, for those that may have mobility issues, the chairs on the lanai are quite tall. I like the laundry upstairs. We will return!!

Property is great.. got to see sea turtles every day.. easy walk to local beach.... easy walk to sea excursions.. only issue is there is limited air conditioning... we ended up not using it.. we just used trade wind flow through condo.

Great location, amenities, and AMAZING view! It felt like a peaceful retreat, just a short drive from main areas and short walk to essential shopping, food, and the harbor. Loft area was not very clean (mainly the carpet - obviously not vacuumed as upon arrival we found dirt, sand, beads…). Overall, definitely recommend.

The location of this condo is fantastic situated between West and South Maui it was a breeze to get to either side quickly. The ocean front was glorious to sit out to have our morning coffee and the constant sound of the waves was dreamy.This unit served our needs during our stay, however, there are some things that could use updating/replacing. The carpet on the stairs in the loft is in desperate need of replacement. It's dirty and stained and I'm not even sure it can be professionally cleaned. The sofa is very uncomfortable. It feels like a simple wood frame with very little cushion support. While we typically don't spend alot of time "lounging" in our condo, we were unfortunately forced to spend a few days condo bound due to the hwy closure during the wildfires. The queen bed in the main floor bedroom was not comfortable and was very "springy". When one person would move the entire bed would bounce. We did keep the windows open to have the breeze come through, however, some days the winds were too strong and we couldn't keep the windows open because the screen upstairs would pop off. We also noticed when the windows were open there would be dust/dirt covering all the surfaces and floors of the condo, which required us to sweep/mop and wipe surfaces continually. The breeze didn't keep the loft area not the main floor bedroom cooled. There is an air conditioner but it's located in the far corner of the living room and wasn't able to cool any areas other than the living room and kitchen.The management company was very quick to respond to any issues or concerns that we had, which was wonderful.Overall this condo served our needs for our stay. I believe if some of these minor issues are addressed it would be a 5 star unit.

Overall it was a great experience!! Awesome view from our balcony. We will be back!
This property is in a short string of other condos, but I think this one had the best view to the water and good design on the unit. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Perfect vacation place! Amazing ocean view, quiet, relaxing place to stay. Dining and shopping short walk away. Tante restaurant was great! Cute gift shops. Walk to marina for boat tours. Turtle sightings every day from the patio! Beautiful! Buzz was great! He gave us lots of suggestions for sights to see and even sang songs for the group on Saturday! Would definately stay again. Thank you!

The view from the deck was gorgeous although we did not get a view of sunsets. We even saw some whales off shore one day. The condo was very comfortable. We even used the common barbecue a couple nights and found it clean and easy to use.
Great location and short drive to almost anywhere on the island. Great ocean views and beautiful sunrise from the balcony.

Overall, this is a very nice condo. The views of the ocean are beautiful, the residents are quiet and the grounds and pool are very nice and not crowded. The balcony does not face west, so the description of being able to watch the sunset each night is not accurate. The balconies face south. We did have one major problem and that was termites. Their dung was falling from the vaulted wooden ceiling above the kitchen peninsula and under the upstairs bathroom vanity. We reported it immediately, but the process took awhile with VRBO, the on-site manager and CBIP working on it. Only one of us could sit and eat at the peninsula at mealtime. They were to have done some spot treatment for the termites two days after we left and the entire building is to be tented and sprayed in October. We were very pleased with CBIP’s handling of the situation, as we were refunded money, which made this situation a little easier deal with. We understood that it is Hawaii and this is a common problem. Otherwise, it is a very nice unit and we were quite comfortable there for our two weeks. There are very few restaurants in the village, but if you drive either direction for 20-25 minutes (Lahaina or Kehei) you will find a lot of good restaurants.
I spent 10 days with my sister at this property we saw whales continually on the lanai. The grounds are beautiful the unit was spotless and just how it looks in the pictures. I am definitely coming back. I loved my stay.
