About this apartment rental
Aloha, MAUI IS OPEN for tourists to visit!! The devastating wildfires in Lahaina are incredibly sad, but your condo is far away from them, and on the other side of the mountains.
The Eastern side of Maui has hundreds of things to do, visit and see, without ever venturing to the Lahaina side of the island. The people of Maui NEED you to visit their Island, in order to recover financially from the fires. Mahalo, Joe
E Komo Mai, (Welcome) to your Maui vacation holiday condominium. We strive to provide you with a beautiful 'home away from home', where you can do as much, or as little as you want during your stay, with all of the amenities you expect.
PLEASE NOTE: Your condo is professionally cleaned AND sanitized after each guest check-out. For your convenience and safety, we provide hand soap at each sink and extra cleaning emphasis is applied to high touch surfaces; like A/C thermostats, remote controls, telephones and appliance/door handles! Your safety during your stay is our priority!
Watch the sunrise over Haleakala (10,043' dormant volcano) across the bay from your private lanai. You can swim in the solar heated fresh water pool or hot tub while working on your tan. Stroll along romantic Sugar Beach nearby, or watch whales play (In season) from your 4th floor treetop lanai. You can prepare your meals on the gas BBQ grill, then dine on your private lanai as you watch the moon rise over Haleakala as it shimmers on Ma'alaea Bay below.
After a long day on Maui, fall asleep to the gentle sound of surf lapping on the shoreline below, as the smell of plumeria and ginger blossoms waft through your room on the gentle Maui breezes. Yes, you ARE in paradise! We hope you choose to stay with us and have many fond memories of your Maui holiday. Karen and I look forward to hearing from you.
To keep us in compliance with Hawaii State regulations, here is some important information, should you decide to stay at our Maui condo:

Our family enjoyed our stay and the hosts were great and very good with answering any questions we had leading up to the trip. The location is great, beautiful view every morning and we were far from any of the places we wanted to go.
8.0 / 10.0
Location is phenomenal. We saw whales and turtles every day with our morning coffee. The owner communicates well. Overall we are pretty happy.
Pros:
Location - Central to just about anywhere you would want to go. Short walk to boat harbor.
View - Ocean, volcano, turtles, whales, New Years Fireworks!
Cons:
Care - Stairs dirty, toilet paper roll center pin missing, 2 burnt out lights, junk in drawers, master closet full of stuff, one hair dryer didn’t work, knives dull, second floor smoke detector bad, one couch chair is in rough shape.
Space Layout - The pictures are accurate but I didn’t realize none of the bedrooms are private. The master bedroom is open to the loft bedroom above. The other loft bedroom is open to the living room. The kids slept right above the master bedroom so if we went to bed later we had to use phone flashlights to get ready for bed.
Kitchen - There are no pots, only pans. Other than this everything you need was there. Storage space was the biggest issue. All the cabinets are full. There is absolutely no place to put all your groceries. We had to put groceries under the couch and on random book shelves.
Property Rules - This is nothing the owner could control but some of the overall property rules were lame. No noise at the pool. Limited hours at pool. Could not sit in chairs by ocean after 9pm.
Overall, not a bad place for a family of 3 plus kids. Location is the best there is.

Family of six on our dream vacation!!
Joe is very helpful and prompt to answer any questions or respond to issues we had during our vacation stay. Provided us with detailed information about Maui.
Unfortunately the dryer stopped working, but Joe was helpful to provide extra towels.
We loved sitting on the lanai watching the whales, enjoyed the pool and hot tub and were fortunate to see green sea turtles arrive on the small beach in the evening.
Would recommend a deep cleaning of the unit.
We love the Ma’alaea area central to everything!

Joe’s property was exactly as described and was the perfect central location for our family of 3. Our 9 year old son loved the boogie board and had a great time catching the kid friendly waves at Kamaole Beach Park 3. The cooler held our picnic dinner that we enjoyed while watching the sunset at the Haleakala summit. My most favorite thing though was to watch the dozens of turtles who would feed on the rocks in front of the condo. We saw more turtles from the lanai and beach in front of the condo than at the Maui Ocean Center! We would definitely stay here again.

Perfection
Everything about this property and experience was perfect. It all went so seamlessly. Joe is so great to work with and beyond helpful and accommodating. Loved everything about our stay. It was the perfect size, homey, great location, beautiful views. If I was to go back to Maui again I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Joe! Also the property manager on site was so kind and helpful. We had daily chats with him to get tips and pointers from a local.

Turtle town
We enjoyed our stay at Maalea Banyan. Highlights were seeing up to six turtles each afternoon on the reef in front of the condo. The pool is as nice and not too crowded as it is a small resort. There’s a small shopping area close for last minute needs. We would stay here again.

Grandkids in Maalaea
Condo was great. Joe was very helpful with check-in & out accommodations. Good location to visit many areas of the island. We went to Baby Beach for the grandkids. Haycraft Beach is very close by. Also visited the Kula District, Lahaina, Kaanapali, and more.
Condo was clean and met all our needs. We purchased fresh food from farmers markets, and ate mostly in condo. Would go back again and recommend to others.

Dated property in need of refresh.
Overall the unit is well located in a quiet neighborhood and has a wonderful view to Maui. Rooms are ok but the bathrooms and kitchen need to be updated.

Fantastic trip!
We loved this property! From the lanai we saw SEVERAL whales every single day and turtles by the shore often, and the sunrise over the mountain with the reflection on the water. We could walk east a couple blocks to a public bleach (which was very secluded). The pool and the hot tub are adjacent to the ocean and the condo staff was polite and helpful.

Had a great visit!!
We loved our stay here. Thanks to the loft it felt like a 3 bedroom condo. The ocean view is PHENOMENAL. We saw whales all day every day out in the bay. The location is perfect - it's about 20 minutes to Kihei or Lahaina. The property manager Buzz was also very helpful and gave us lots of tips about which beaches to visit.

Great Condo
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The condo is great for family’s. I and my husband and adult daughter stayed. The condo has everything you could want in the kitchen all cooking utensils you would need along with a variety of spices. It is within walking distance to a couple of restaurants and a bar for happy hour. It is located close to Kihei for grocery stores and Lanai for shopping and dining. The washer and dryer were a huge plus as we were able to pack lighter. Joe was great in reply in a couple of questions we had. We would absolutely stay again and hope to return to the island next year.

Amazing condo
We have stayed at a different property at Maalaea Banyans before and love the location, but really wanted to stay in a little larger of a condo to not feel like we were tripping over one another all the time. Even though it was just two of us, it was so nice to have plenty of room to spread out. The condo is spacious, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the views from the lanai were amazing. There is no going back to a tiny condo after this, since the price was right and the space was amazing. We will definitely be booking with Joe next time we are headed to Maui.

Great "central" more secluded location to all Maui points of interest
Let me preface my review by saying that I'm a local to Maui (born and raised, then relocated to the mainland 11 years ago). The overall service, immediate and detailed responses I received from Joe was exceptional! He embodied the "Aloha spirit" and was always so very kind and quick to respond to all of my questions and was very accommodating. He provided so many great and important travel tips, which I thought would be helpful for any first timers and those not familiar with the island. The accommodations was exactly as described, except that it seemed like it was 3 bedrooms instead of 2, which was a welcomed surprise :)
I personally chose this Maalaea location as it is a great central point to everything and everywhere you need to get to on Maui. It's a little more secluded compared to the hotel strips in Wailea and Lahaina, but still in walking distance to shops, restaurants and the aquarium and a small theme park. We didn't stay in the condo much as we were out and about, but the accommodations were just right for us. Everything was in working order so there was no need for us to reach out to the property manager.
Based from our experience and our needs, we highly recommend this property!

Beautiful, we didn't want to leave
The place was super clean, and the property sits right on the ocean. It was truly a beautiful place. I can't say enough about the Owners. They were extremely responsive and when ever we had questions I messaged them and they got back instantly. I would love to stay here again in the future!

Perfect for us!
We stayed here the first half of April. Cozy, clean condo with a beautiful view. We saw sea turtles and whales from the lanai. Snorkeled from the beach just a short walk away. Used the pool, hot tub and outdoor grill. Location is central to everything we wanted to see and do. Condo is in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Beds are comfortable and condo had everything we needed to cook some meals in. There are some beach items and the kids used the body boards from the condo, loved it! The condo layout does have the open airflow ventilation to keep it cooler, so none of the bedrooms are completely closed off and private. But it wasn’t an issue for any of us, but worth noting for guests who want that. Thank you Joe also for the detailed letter with all of the tips and recommendations before we came. They were helpful! Definitely recommend your condo for anyone planning a trip to the gorgeous, absolutely amazing island of Maui!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very quiet, relaxing and beautiful setting
Joe was very responsive and helpful. He offered many suggestions of activities and was flexible when we had to change the check out dates. It was obvious that Joe and Karen love their condo and made an effort to make it accommodating for families. We had everything we needed during our two week stay. Our group included two couples (one with a 1 yr old) and an 84 year old. Great Grandma was able to make it up the stairs thanks to the sturdy handrail. A note regarding the bedroom configuration for future guests... we didn’t realize that the loft “bedrooms” did not offer true privacy for any of us. The twin bedroom is open to the master bedroom below. The upstairs bathroom was only accessible going through the queen loft bedroom, which is open to the living room below. In addition, there is one step between the bathroom and the twin bedroom. It may be more suited to a family with young children.
Overall we were very happy with our stay, the location, amenities and accommodation.
Thank you very much!

Wonderful Condo!
The views were great. The place was clean, plenty of room, with a fully equipped kitchen. There was an issue with the TV in the front room but it was rectified immediately, not that we actually needed it as most of our time was spent on the Lanai watching the Sea Turtles swimming up close to shore, or out and about going to the local restaurants, shops and touring this amazing island. I would recommend this place to anyone who would like to relax in Maui but still be within close proximity to everything.

Memories Made!
Condo was very nice and had everything we needed and then some. Beautiful view of the pool and ocean from our balcony. Sea turtles came in every afternoon to keep us entertained.
Joe provided us with very thorough information on tours and activities.
Beds were very comfortable. Having the extra loft space with twin beds was perfect!
Would highly recommend this condo and the owners Joe and Karen Dorsey.

Our family loved our time in Maui and at the condo. gorgeous view and lovely pool!
The condo at Malayea Banyans was great! The view from the Lanai was amazing and seeing the turtles swim right outside was amazing. The pool and grounds were so lovely and peaceful, all so well kept!
Only negative is the location is not close to many restaurants- you have to drive but there is so much to explore on the island. If you want a nice beach you also need to drive.
The owners of the condo were fantastic to work with and so helpful with planning our trip. Thank you!

Maui Fantastic!!!!
The Little Grass Shack was everything that you could ask for in a vacation home away from home. It is beautifully decorated, awesome view, well equipped to meet most any need, access to the beautiful Sugar Beach, I could go on and on. We loved our visit and are looking forward to our next stay in the Little Grass Shack! Mahalo!

A little piece of paradise
We loved this condo. We have stayed in Maalaea at other condos before and think that Joe and his wife have one of the best condos in the area. It is far enough away from the marina that you don't hear the tour boat operators yelling instructions to their groups at 7 am every morning. It is a very short walk to a lovely stretch of beach, but far enough away that you don't get any crowds on the private beach in front of the condo. The beach in front of the condo is lovely to relax and sit on the chairs and loungers that are provided, but not really good for swimming due to the sharp rocks. It is a very short walk to restaurants, the aquarium, mini golf and stores.
Their unit is on the top floor and set back beside the west wing which gives the balcony added privacy. There are windows on both the north and south side of the unit which allows for wonderful ocean breezes to blow through the condo. I was so happy to hear that they had installed central air conditioning but we didn't need to use it our entire trip as the breezes and ceiling fans kept the condo so cool.
My husband and I loved staying up in the loft, it felt like we were sleeping in a treehouse. Even though it was an open air loft, we found it to be surprisingly private. If you were using BOTH of the loft bedrooms you would lose some of that privacy, though, as anyone using the second loft bedroom has to walk through the main loft bedroom to access the bathroom and bedroom, and the second loft also has an open air railing to the bedroom below. We have rented from VRBO a lot and found that Joe made the rental process one of the easiest and most hassle free experiences that we have ever had, with no cleaning fee or damage deposit to have to deal with. He was also incredibly helpful which made our holiday planning process much easier. I will definitely recommend this vacation rental without hesitation. Thanks Joe for everything and for sharing your little piece of paradise with us.

Everything we hoped it would be!
Our stay was only 5 nights but what a great choice it turned out to be!
Joe Dorsey was our guide, advisor and mentor on all things "Aloha". Thank you so much for your prompt replies to my numerous emails.
The suite was all we hoped for...ocean views from the lanai and great sunrises while enjoying our breakfast. We could literally hear our two grandchildren's breath taken away when we first opened the lanai when we arrived.
The small pool and hot tub were a welcome place to kick back after a long day relaxing on Maui. The nearby snorkeling beach was a huge bonus since many other prime snorkeling beaches had little or no parking within the same timezone. Some of us saw turtles face to face while snorkeling which was most memorable. One day, we practically walked all the way to Sugar Beach along the beach from Haycraft Park. We walked to town a lot for meals or shopping.
In Maalaea, we are within a day trip to almost anywhere we want to go. We never got the pleasure of meeting Officer Roberts but we smiled a bit whenever we saw a motorcycle cop.
We enjoyed the residents and the other tourists that we met at the Maalaea Banyans condos. It's a very friendly building. Since we already live in a condo, it felt quite homey...except for the weather, scenery and, okay, almost everything.
We hope to return some day...maybe with another grandchild, and when the whales are in the bay.
Mahalo nui loa,
Marcel, Wendy, Hope and Ashton

Relaxed, well equipped, beautiful ocean view
We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It was relaxed and low key, away from touristy hustle and bustle, clean and well equipped. The sound of the ocean really added to the relaxation factor. My two grown kids had their own spaces in the loft and the beach just down the road was great for swimming, snorkeling and turtle watching. The owners' website provided all necessary information and lots of links to fun activities to do while there. Great Job!
