About this property

Direct Oceanfront Condo – Chasing Life On Maui - AC, Heated Pool & Hot Tub

Escape to Maui and settle into your freshly remodeled, ultra-stylish condo perched right on the shimmering edge of Maʻalaea Bay. In Unit 205 at Maʻalaea Banyans, you’re treated to true ocean-front living—imagine starting each morning with coffee on your private lanai while sea turtles swim by, and in season, majestic humpback whales breach right before your eyes.

This lovingly updated unit blends upscale comfort with laid-back island elegance:

• A brand-new Novaform bed in the bedroom, so you can drift off to the rhythm of the surf.
• A sleek, fully redesigned open kitchen featuring top-tier appliances, cold-filtered water + ice maker, and generous pantry space to support longer stays.
• A bright, airy living room that flows directly to the lanai—perfect for sunset cocktails or morning sunrise yoga with views of Haleakalā, Molokini Crater and Kahoʻolawe.
• In-unit washer/dryer to keep you fresh and flexible (especially handy for beach days!)
• Chic tropical décor, comfortable furnishings and all the little touches—beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, high-speed WiFi—that make this feel like your home away from home.

Why This Condo Stands Out
Other units in Maui are nice—but few offer the combination of true ocean-front location + full upscale remodel that Unit 205 delivers. Many standard listings highlight “ocean views” or “steps to the sand,” but at 205 you get the sound, scent, and sensation of the Pacific right outside your door. You’ll stay in refined comfort (not just “vacation basic”), with all those luxury conveniences guests appreciate.

Resort & Location Highlights
Nestled in a charming harbor village setting, this resort offers a quieter alternative to Maui’s big-box high-rise hotels. Key benefits include:
• All units are ocean-front with expansive views of the bay and neighboring islands.
• Resort-style amenities: a sparkling ocean-front heated pool + hot tub (only complex in Harbor Village to have one), lush tropical grounds, and gas BBQ grills ideal for relaxed outdoor meals.
• Super central to the island: you’re about 15-25 minutes to Kihei or Lahaina.
• Walkable to the Maui Ocean Center aquarium, charter boat harbor, mini-golf and casual dining—yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private.
Guest Access & Practical Info
• You’ll have full access to the condo, lanai, and all the resort amenities (pool, hot tub, BBQ, lawn areas).
• Private self-check-in via key code will simplify your arrival.
• Unassigned parking is included—easy and hassle-free.
• Beach gear included: chairs, cooler, towels. (We want you in the sand, not shopping!)
• lease note: this is a lower-rise resort (4 stories), so you’ll enjoy charm, walkability, and the feel of a small resort.

Perfect For
• Couples seeking a romantic getaway with sunset-to-sunrise water views.
• Guests who appreciate upscale finishes and want to split time between lounging and exploring.
• Anyone looking for a central Maui location that keeps you connected, yet removes you from the high-rise hotel hustle.
A Few Notes Before You Book
• While many units advertise “ocean view,” ours is truly “ocean front”—you’ll hear the surf, feel the breeze, and spot turtles along the shoreline just steps away.
• Seasonal whale-watching from your lanai? Absolutely. Maʻalaea Bay is one of Maui’s top spots for breaching whales in winter.
• The trade winds are a welcome constant; ceiling fans + the ocean breeze will often do the job—but if you prefer cooler air, the living area is equipped with AC that cools the unit.
• The resort is beloved for its quiet, non-crowded charm—but note: it is a relaxed, mature resort feel rather than a large resort party environment.

The place was lovely, relaxing and home away from home. Everything we needed to enjoy the beach; umbrella, chairs, towels and cooler!! The kitchen has it all. The deck with ocean view and sound of the ocean the best place to watch the sunrise with coffee and drink every evening sunset. Easy to get from airport and around the island. Able to see whales from the deck. We so enjoyed our time and the decor with comforts. Absolutely heavenly !!!

Jodi, thank you for this. Reading your words brought me right back to those slow Maui mornings and evenings. I’m so glad the condo felt like a home away from home. That’s exactly what we hope for, a place where you can settle in, unpack once, and just enjoy. I’m happy the beach gear made it easy to get out and explore without having to think about the extras. Sometimes it’s the umbrella and cooler that make the whole day work. And that lanai… sunrise coffee and sunset drinks with the sound of the ocean never disappoint. Being able to spot whales right from the lanai is such a gift, especially when they decide to put on a show. I love that you were able to experience that. Thank you as well for mentioning the décor and comforts. We’ve tried to make it feel relaxed, welcoming, and reflective of the island without losing the cozy touches that make it easy to unwind. It was truly a pleasure hosting you. You’re welcome back anytime for another heavenly Maui escape. 🌊🐋

A Maui Gem!If your dates are available, don't hesitate to book! This place was absolutely wonderful. The location is easy to/from the airport, central to everything north, east or south, and includes free parking and a hot tub/pool which feels great at the end of the day. There is also a small beach where the turtles hang out regularly (sunning themselves on one side and surfing/rock nibbling on the other). They were fun to watch and very active in the morning and evening, as were the whales. So many whale sightings right from the lanai! The building itself is well-maintained and quiet hours were respected by all during our stay. As for the condo itself, the owners have definitely poured their hearts into this place and left nothing undone. It is so well-appointed with everything you could need or want, tastefully decorated with lots of local art, and very clean and comfortable for our stay. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer!We got groceries and cooked a little, ate out a little, and had coffee and wine on the lanai each day while the whales entertained us. Bring some coffee (pods or grounds), plan a little but not a lot, and be prepared to walk into a little piece of paradise in Maui, where Brett and Kristine welcome you so warmly into their Ohana. We can't wait to go back!

Keirsten, this was such a joy to read. Thank you for putting so much heart into your review. You described the experience exactly the way we hope guests feel it. Easy in and out from the airport, close to everything, but still peaceful once you’re there. And those whales and turtles… they really do steal the show. There’s nothing quite like sitting on the lanai with coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening and watching them put on their own little performance. It means a lot that you noticed the care that went into the space. Kristine and I truly have poured ourselves into making it feel thoughtful, comfortable, and reflective of Maui, from the local art to the small details that make it easy to settle in. We want guests to feel like they’re staying in a home, not just a rental. I love that you embraced the rhythm of the island, a little cooking, a little exploring, a little relaxing. That’s exactly how Maui is meant to be experienced. Mahalo for being such wonderful guests and for treating our place like your o
