About this apartment rental
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.
This immaculate property, managed by Vacation-Maui, is complete with beach gear, including beach chairs, beach towels, a beach umbrella, and a small cooler. Due to back-to-back bookings, cleaning, and maintenance schedules, early check-ins and late checkouts cannot be accommodated at this time. If you have a late flight out, we recommend booking an extra night to accommodate your schedule. Mahalo for understanding.

The location is well located to visit all of Maui's tourist highlights.

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.

Amazing views right in the center of the island. Great location, we absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for having beach equipments ready for use. Felt like a home outside of my home.

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.
10.0
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.

Our stay at the Maalaea Banyans was great. Customer Service was very responsive when we had a question regarding the dryer. Would recommend!

We have never been to Hawaii before. This was our first time… and it was amazing! Our stay at this VRBO made it very easy and accommodating. It was well decorated and updated with the most wonderful views. I woke up early everyday before my family and sat on the baloney and watched for whales. It was my favorite part of the day!
We spent most of our days over in Kihei with our friends, which was only a 12 minute drive. The neighborhood is welcoming and clean. We would definitely stay here again.
10.0
Honestly really wonderful.
Some things we loved:
- The modern updates.
- The View
- The Sea Turtles
- The Pool
- No bugs
- Great communication!
Some things we didn’t love:
- That the dryer took hours upon hours to dry and MAYBE your clothes were dry.
- No storage for suit cases.
- Although having the air conditioner was nice, it was very loud and condo still felt warm!
Overall 10/10 would stay again!

We had a great week. The view is fabulous! We saw many turtles from the balcony.

The location in which this condo sits on the island is perfect for exploring both sides. You are pretty much in the center which makes it very convenient to exploring everything. The views from the balcony were amazing. The amenities are exactly as mention in the description. The only thing to mention, the loft bathroom shower is quite small and the master room doesn't get the best AC circulation. Other then that the place is great

The check-in process was easy and the condo was cooled on our arrival, which was much appreciated. The views from the condo were spectacular! We got to watch sea turtles swim in front of the condo and come up on the beach every night to sleep…..so cool! There were about 13 that did this every night and from what I understand, they have done so for 5 years. The condo was clean and appreciated that it was stocked with all of the essentials until we could go to the store. We had one issue with a toliet leaking and I called the management company and it was taken care of same day. Kitchen was stocked with all of the necessary kitchen supplies needed to cook meals. There is a grill outside that you can use as well. The pool and hot tube were great after a day of excursions. The only thing that would have made it better is a couple of more large box fans to help keep you comfortable while you sleep. There is one in the master and a small one upstairs. This place was amazing and we could not recommend it more!

Was a perfect central location if you want to hit all sides of the island. this will be your best choice,15 to 20 minutes will get you to North, south, and west maui. Amazing little beach just past the condo at the end of the road has Amazing views for the sunrise. Fyi no access to the back of the grounds of the condo till 7am

We enjoyed our stay! Beautiful ocean views. We loved watching the sea turtles.
Property was clean and well maintained. Perfect for our family.

We had looked forward to this stay for some time and unfortunately, I had a medical emergency requiring hospital stay due to a perforated colon and was not cleared to fly. That said, this is obviously no fault of the property and the correspondence I did have with the manager was very timely, polite, and concerned offering recommendations on what to do. I would recommend travel insurance for others as i did not see an option for it, but will look harder in the future. I will still give VRBO another shot in the future as i cannot place any wrongdoing to them as I would have made the same decisions as they did with a last minute cancelation of a stay.

This was our first time in Maui and this centrally located condo was a perfect jumping point for adventures. The neighbourhood is very quiet and peaceful and we loved the pool and and condo amenities very much. The condo is walking distance to restaurants, beach and harbour. We enjoyed snorkeling and watching sea turtles and whales off our balcony! Beautiful decor and well equipped kitchen. The washer/dryer were handy and there was a closet full of beach supplies! Highly recommend!

We gave a few suggestions on items that need attention. The biggest item is there needs to be a dresser in the loft as there isn't any place to put your clothes.
10.0
The view from the Lanai was outstanding. Everything went very well. Management was terrific and very responsive.to a making our stay perfect. We hope there will be a dresser to unpack clothing in the loft bedroom in future.
10.0
Very nice condo with all the amenities you could possibly need. The highlight of the unit is the Lanai looking right out over the ocean. Amazing! We would eat breakfast watching the turtles right at the edge of the property. The location of the unit is a short drive to any where on the island. The management company was very helpful with any questions and readily accessible. Great unit made for a great holiday.
10.0
Location was centrally located and close to the airport. The view was breathtaking with lots of whale sightings. Just be sure to check for beaches and other activities that need reservations prior to going. Drove for two hours on the Road to Hana just to get turned around because we didn’t have reservations. Overall great vacation.

This location was a great launching point to explore the island. We visited all the major beaches and explored all the sights. Being centrally located really helped. Plus we were able to watch whale and turtle activity from the balcony. Condo was as described and the property was very quiet and clean. We would stay again.

We chose Maalaea for the quiet mornings and peaceful evenings. The condo was in a great location and allowed to just that. We watched turtles from the lanai every morning and listened to the waves every evening. The tradewinds kept the condo nice and breezy so there was very little need for AC. Would stay here again.
10.0
We had a great stay. Beautiful place. Came in everything was clean and well equipped for our stay! We enjoyed our mornings watching the sun come up and enjoyed the breeze in the evening. Seeing the turtles come up in the evenings was an extra bonus. We loved our stay
We would stay again.

The condo was lovely , comfortable, and beautiful decorated. The central location was fantastic for exploring the island. The kitchen supplies (spoons, cooking utensils, plates...) could use some refresh...there were hardly any regular size spoons. Obviously not a major issue :-)
We saw turtles every single day! Beautiful view from the balcony!

We enjoyed our stay at this unit. Our purpose was for a family wedding on the island. Air conditioning is a challenge but the views are breathtaking. Morning sunrise and proximity to airport was a convenient.
The property management firm was great with responses to questions and needs.
Thanks for a great stay

I would certainly stay here again. The place is gorgeous, it was clean, lovely, and I had everything I needed for the beach. It’s well kept and wonderful. A+. I loved they have shopping carts for groceries and we even used them for luggage. We met other wonderful people in the area during our stay.
I love the area as well! It’s close to Kihei and Lahaina. You must check out both. I enjoyed Sugar Beach. 5 stars! Great interactions with the host as well.

We make a point of supporting sharing economy businesses, and especially enjoy the accommodations/services from hosts who are on the receiving end at times. Unfortunately, not this time with Vacation-Maui. Please be warned here first: Check-in: It was a bureaucratic and inefficient process which made an unexpected early (40min) arrival to check in absolutely impossible. Flawed interior design: Washer and Dryer are installed in the upstairs loft area with two single beds. This sleeping area heats up very quickly and gets super hot as soon as the dryer is turned on, which makes it impossible for my 10yrs old daughter to sleep in there.
10.0
This property had a bright, beachy feel that fit the vibe we were looking for. The view and ocean sounds made for an amazing stay. Like others have noted, you can watch turtles from the balcony. We love it is located central to visiting different regions of the island. I would stay here again.

Nicely remodeled condo. My family of four was comfortable. We rented a SUV and took day trips to explore all over Maui. Beautiful beaches 45 north and 25 minutes south. It took us a little over an hour to get to the top of the volcano. The airport is only about 15 minutes from the condo which is really nice after the long flights to get there.
10.0
Great location off the beaten path. No busy tourists areas. Everything is 20-30 min away! Access to beach on property where if you surf is great. Lots of surfers used this stretch of beach. Pool and SPA, and facilities are well maintained. People are very nice and welcoming. Nice BBQ area where you can see Sea turtles swimming by the shore.

Amazing
We had an amazing time. The correspondence was incredible and prompt. Definitely recommend! Do not recommend bringing loud children as this seems to be an area where older adults stay. We had a noise complaint as we had a son with autism who occasionally has outbursts. It was hard to keep our children quiet even when they were just excited and squealing. That would be my only complaint. Thank you so very much for the lasting memories, Todd.
