About this property

Ocean View Remodel, Sleeps 8, Exotic Kitchen. @Kam 2, 5 Star Reviews,Hot Tub!

The Makai Suite (by the ocean) is the closest suite to maui's famous and best Kamaole Beach, Kamaole 2. This condo offers stunning ocean views& luxurious finishes! Maui Banyan's lushly landscaped grounds feature 2 pools &hot tubs &several bbq'ing/outdoor eating areas.This property features a 24 hour front desk and security, concierge services and is walking distance to all of the fun restaurants and shopping that South Kihei is known for! A quick note on the Kamaole Beaches. Kamaole 1 is murky and rough (less so at the South end) and Kamaole 3 has no lifeguard and is rough and has a small shoreline . Kamaole 2 is the crown jewel of the Kamaole Beaches, and this condo is just steps away!!!

This condo is only available at these deeply discounted prices due to the pandemic. Please do not ask for further discounts of ANY kind, incl. long term stays. We do not offer short term leases. Take advantage of staying for about half price this season (based on posted rates and discounts) as this opportunity will hopefully disappear very soon lol. Have the peace of mind of staying with a Superhost in a premium property with 5 star reviews!

This building is cement block construction and is very quiet inside the suite. This unit offers the best location as it is closest to the ocean, has trememdous views and finishes and is far away from the speed bumps on the driveway in, which makes for annoying, repetive noises in some of the units a few doors down, closer to the parking lot (check Google Earth).

A Bad smell at the Maui Banyan
We have stayed at the Maui Banyan 3 previous times and had always found the rooms clean and well stocked with towels, toiletries and toilet paper...the necessary essentials for our entire stay. This trip, we booked a suite for a 3 week stay for 4 adults. Upon entering Room F202 we found that the suite was not completely cleaned. We met their cleaning staff and she said she was running behind. She assured us that the suite was cleaned but we found it to be dirty...so much so that we had her wipe a couple of cob webs from a wall and lamp. The floor was filthy, we had to wear shoes or flip flops otherwise our bare feet or socks became brown from the dirt. We also asked if she would be coming the following week to clean and restock supplies since she only left 5 rolls of toilet paper and 1 roll of paper towels...her reply was that she would come clean but it would be at a cost to us! Shouldn't the owner be cleaning the suite each week? Every other condo I've ever rented for more than 1 week have come in to clean at no extra charge. There were a few other issues with the condo: a cupboard without a handle and the sliding doors to the lani were not in good shape making it very difficult to slide open. The air conditioner in the bedroom had a bad smell coming out of it when in use so we had to continue to spray it with Lysol disinfectant for the entire length of our stay. There was no AC in the main bedroom and the ceiling fan in that room did not work properly. The couches, beds and all of the linen need to be replaced. When we contacted the owner of the unit she would not listen to any of our concerns and basically indicated if we didn't like the unit that was just too bad for us. It is very disappointing that a condo owner like her wanted to charge us for basic cleaning and essential supplies (which we feel we already paid for)during our stay. Needless to say we won't be booking through her again. We do want to add that the location, grounds, pools and staff at the Maui Banyan were wonderful. We love Maui and didn't let this condo experience take away from our visit. .

Great Location & Amenities!!!
We really enjoyed our stay with our family @ Lisa's condo. Perfect location with the unit being on the ground floor & beach being directly across the street. Loved sitting out on the Lanai in the morning with a cup of coffee listening to the birds & waves!!!

Memory making trip for grandchildren
Our family, (Grandparents, daughter, two grandsons 7;10; and son-in-law) booked this condo for a seven day "after Christmas" visit. We could not have been happier. The condo was large enough to accomodate all of us in two separate bedroom - bathroom suites; the kitchen was fully stocked, there was a television, pool, and best of all, the beach was just a block away and we had a view of the water from the bedroom. There were boogie boards, beach chairs, and plenty of towels. We were pleased to find snacks and other necessities available for our stay. Lisa, the owner, responded promptly to questions and was very congenial. Our garndsons had a fabulous time on their first visit to Hawaii and so did everyone else. We even saw a sea turtle up close in the tide pools which was a treat for the boys. Great condo - magical trip!

Very nice Condo
Very nice condo in a great location. Walk across the street to watch beautiful sunsets. Very close to shopping, restaurants, and beach. A lovely gift basket was waiting for us when we entered. Lisa had everything we could want from beach chairs, towels, to personal items in the shower. Lisa was very responsive to any question or issue. The only issue would be to have a better organized parking garage. Each day we spent a lot of time hunting for a parking spot. I would definitely rent from Lisa again and at this location.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Taylor

Host profile image
I am a Mom of 5 who enjoys travelling and hosting travellers. My husband and I have been running vacation rentals on Maui since 2010 and have wonderful guests, 60% of whom are repeats and referrals. Our condo is in the price mid-range of South Kihei Vacation Rentals. We offer newer furnishings and high end finishes, free WiFi, parking and North American calling, lots of free gear to use, and all with an ocean view. My greatest joy in hosting is in working with guests who appreciate all of the little touches that we have provided to make your stay magical. We love our guests and encourage travelers to stay with us who are people who approach life with gratitude and appreciation, and have a `half full' approach, as we do. Guests who find that they are generally disappointed wherever they stay (or eat, or work etc.) would not be a good fit. Thank you for considering staying with us.

I am available during your stay by email, and will generally be able to respond same day or next day. I do have a busy family and work life, and do not enjoy being hard-wired to my phone, so please be patient. but please reserve that for things that can't wait such as a lock-out or a burst pipe. It is 6 hours later where I live so please take that into consideration as well, when awaiting a response. Thank you and Aloha!

Why they chose this property

We purchased in this particular area because the beaches are THE BEST and we love the energy of South Kihei. We chose Maui Banyan because it has condos that are all on one level (no staircases within the unit which make for narrow living spaces, and tend to negatively impact the togetherness of the group), it is one of only 3 concrete constructed vacation rentals in the area (as opposed to wood frame) which provides superior soundproofing both from neighbours and traffic, and it has the best ammenities for our family (many local complexes do not have hot tubs, covered poolside cabanas with tiki torches and a 24 hour front desk and security, for example). We chose Unit F102 because we really value being close to the ocean. This unit is the closest that we could get in Maui Banyan, and a well thrown stone could hit the beach (not recommended :) When we want to go to the beach it is literally steps away and we love that. .We can sit out on the lanai and hear the waves crashing on the beach and that is amazing too! Please note that if you are someone who will be bothered, while outside (inside is quiet) by passing cars, either visually or aurally, please do not rent our condo. We want you to absolutely love being here, as we do, and if that is something that will bother you, than this condo would not be the best choice. When we sit on the lanai, all we see is the ocean and all we hear are the waves; thankful to be in paradise for as long as we are lucky enough to be able to stay. The cars come and go, but they are immaterial. If you are not oriented the same way, may I suggest a courtyard unit. You may lose ocean view and possibly gain pool view but you will not see or hear cars. Our condo is located in one of the two low-rise buildings at the front of the property, which was also appealing to us, as opposed to being in the larger towers which are less child-friendly due to the elevators etc. Our little one can just walk out the door and can toss the frisbee around!

What makes this property unique

South Maui is a vibrant, bustling neighbourhood and our condo places you very close to the action. Everything starts about a 2 minute walk to the north. Quiet for sleeping yet just a few steps to the excitement! A great location in that regard, but ... The beach across the street ... Amazing!

Please note that there are 3 regular beds (one king, two queens) and one queen sleeper sofa.
