About this property

Spectacular Treetop Oceanfront View - Central A/C - Sleeps 6 - Turtles & Whales

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:

Great location. Property okay.

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! Mahalo Joe

Wonderful relaxing stay in Maui

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Joe Dorsey

Karen and I love visiting Hawaii. I asked her to marry me during one trip to Maui, when we were on the summit of Haleakala (10,043'). (Which can be seen from our 4th floor, treetop private lanai) We were married a year later on Maui, by a remote waterfall which is only accessible by helicopter. As you can tell, Maui is very special to us and we look forward to sharing our home with you!

Why they chose this property

Ma'alaea (Mah-ah-lie-yah) is a secluded, private little village off the beaten path to Lahaina. Not many people know the town even exists and that is why we like it. It is centrally located to just about everything fun to do on Maui, but when you return back to your 'Little grass shack', you seem to be miles away from everything and can relax and take time to smell the plumerias!!!

What makes this property unique

Every year the Humpback whales return to Ma'alaea Bay to birth their calves. From your treetop private lanai, you can watch as they jump a play a few hundred yards right offshore. It is really very majestic to watch! Also, the moon-rise over Haleakala is very romantic and beautiful to see! It does not get much better than this on Maui!!!
