More information The space
Our condo is DIRECT OCEANFRONT, BEACHFRONT!
You can't get any closer to the ocean than our condo! Maalaea village is a gem with its central location and its fantastic trade winds. They provide a cooling breeze that keeps the temperatures just right. Just in case the cross breeze in the unit isn't enough for you, we have a newly installed split A/C (as of February 2020) in the living room, downstairs bedroom and upstairs loft bedroom. There are ceiling fans in the master and loft bedroom and a floor fan in the second bedroom. Please note that the second bedroom upstairs does not have any windows. It also has low, slanted ceilings, making it best suited for a children's room.
From the lanai, gaze out and watch the sun rise over Haleakala. Watch green sea turtles bobbing up for air and rolling in the surf. In the winter months (Nov-April) you will have a front row seat to breaching whales.
Beautifully landscaped grounds with a heated pool. Slip into the pool and enjoy the ocean view while you relax in the Maui sun.
The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and is fully equipped with cooking utensils, pots, pans, blender and all of the other basic supplies to comfortably enjoy cooking and eating in. There is also a great BBQ area oceanfront so you can enjoy the view while you cook up some delicious food!
At the end of our cul-de-sac is Sugar Beach, 3-4 minute walk from the unit.
A 5 minute walk in the opposite direction takes you to Maalaea Harbor where you will find a small grocery store, deli, craft market, restaurants and the Maui Ocean Center (Maui’s #1 tourist attraction), the Pacific Whale Foundation, miniature golf, shopping and most of the ocean activities available on Maui (sunset dinner cruises, deep sea fishing, snorkeling tours & whale watching).
Centrally located, Maalaea is a place of stay that makes getting anywhere on the island easy. You will be 15 minutes from the airport; a 5 minute drive south to Kihei and a bit further, the resorts of Wailea; and 20 minutes to Lahaina. You couldn’t be in a better location to explore all Maui has to offer.

Perfect location to go anywhere in Maui. Great view of the ocean and molokini. We joked about having a million dollars view! We saw some whales in the distance one morning. House is fully equipped. Melanie is super attentive and responsive. We enjoyed our stay here.
The place had everything we needed to cook, and all the essentials to play on the beach. The view was amazing, and loved seeing all the whales from the lanai, and the turtles on the little beach every evening. Good trade winds through the condo, rarely used the AC.
Great place amazing views. Just enough room for 5.Only minor complaints were the 3rd bedroom is very hot and the washer and dryer made our clothes smell moldy but other than that it’s an amazing place to stay.
The location was great during the day and quiet at the evening. It was centrally located of anywhere we went to during our stay. I would definitely come again.
Very quiet property which we loved! There was hardly anyone around the whole week which made it so relaxing for us!! The location was perfect and made for an easy drive to anywhere on the island. The balcony had an incredible view of the ocean!! The owner was prompt in responding to messages. Would definitely stay here again!
Our family had so much fun. Great location. We could watch whales and turtles from the balcony. Great beds. Host supplied everything needed for a great trip with everything thought out and labeled.
Great location in Maalaea, short drive to everything. The place accommodated our needs perfectly. Loved that there were beach chairs and towels, umbrellas and a cooler to use.
First time to Maui and this was a great central location as we ventured out each day, plus it was walking distance to the harbor where we did a couple of tours. View from the balcony was exactly what I wanted for our stay on the island and having 3 separate sleeping spaces worked well for our family.
Our stay was short but the accommodations were perfect. A cozy place that felt like home with comfy beds and quite nites. The place was described to perfection. The host is friendly and very attentive.
Thanks Gina
This rental is great if you are looking for a central location to explore multiple areas of the island but would like to come back to a quiet condo. The view from the lanai is fantastic and we enjoyed watching the turtles. If you are traveling soon, please note that the elevator listed under accessibility is currently being replaced and you will need to use the stairs to get to the top floor.
This was our second time to Maui. This trip we brought our three kids with us (two adults, one teen). The location of this property is absolutely perfect. It’s a short drive to South Maui (Wailea) and also a short drive to Lahaina, and Kapalua. We did not spend a huge amount of time at the property during the day, but did eat breakfast there every morning. Perfect amenities for making omelets, toast, coffee, etc. We sat outside on the balcony to eat each morning and the views were spectacular (see photos). The breezes through the Condo were so refreshing and pleasant. We opened the front door and opened the balcony sliding glass door and just let the air flow through. We all enjoyed our time together at the condo in the mornings and evenings. I cooked one night out at the gas grills, where there is a dedicated gas line, and a nice kitchenette with running water. Overall, we had an awesome stay. The main level bathroom needs a little bit of an upgrade, but it served its purpose well while we were there. Views: Amazing; we saw Sea Turtles and Whales from the balcony. Location: PerfectSize: Adequate for a family of five if you are planning to spend a lot of time checking out Maui. Host: Awesome to deal with. Amenities: Everything we needed.
Melanie's condo was fabulous! My family and I had such an amazing time at the condo! The views from the lanai were perfect! As soon as we can come back to Maui, we would love to stay at this condo! Very clean place!
Great stay. The property was as advertised with a very communicative owner. Great A/C kept us cool each night except the attic room. The attic room bed was a little too solid as well. But overall a great stay, great location, great amenities.
There are many places to stay along this stretch of beach, but this is the best. Great view, pool, jacuzzi,location and even turtles! We had a group of turtles that visited us almost everyday, it was great to see them bobbing in the surf or just sunning on the beach.
This place was great! If it lacks anything it might be the size but for 4 of us it was comfortable. Beds were all comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. The view is extraordinary, and we would see 10-15 turtles every day from about noon to sunset. We were within walking distance to where all the boat tours seem to come out of, a couple good restaurants and the aquarium as well. The host was fantastic as well and the check in process is super easy. This was a fun place to stay for sure, so enjoy Maui.

Great view of the water !!
We needed three bedrooms and this was a good place for the price we paid. Halls & stairs could use more lighting and we couldn't find an operating manual. TV (especially) and the coffee pot were trial & error, but overall, the unit was clean and we liked being able to walk to the Ocean Center, Maalaea Harbor stores, and the beach.
Lovely, well appointed apartment in a great location, on the water with beach access (so many turtles!) We watched dozens of whales every morning with our morning coffee from the balcony. Beach towels, chairs, snorkel gear, cooler, etc were great to have for beach days. Highly recommend.
The condo was nice but hadn’t been cleaned upon arrival. They were able to get a cleaning crew out there but after a long flight it was definitely an inconvenience. Other than that our stay was great. The view was amazing for watching the turtles and the Monk seal that lays out during the day.
It was a real treat to stay at this property. It is well appointed, I was excited to see they even had an Instant Pot for my morning oatmeal! Everything was as it was stated in the description. We loved seeing the turtles on the beach, and watching the whales from the lenai. Everything worked and we never had to use the A/C once. It was not only a breathtaking view it was a relaxing place to stay! We hope to stay there in the future.
Loved our stay! Excellent communication with the host (a big plus). Home as described with outstanding views (and good wifi). Loved watching the sun rise and set, and seeing the whales in the distance and the turtles that rested on shore each night. The home was a great space for my family of 4 adults. Easy walking distance to the harbor and the beach. The best thing was the location. Quiet, low traffic area with easy access to the entire island. Would definitely stay here again and will recommend to friends traveling to Maui. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

About the host
Hosted by Melanie Feliciano
We are a family of 5 from the San Francisco Bay Area. My husband and I are in the biotech and optometry field, respectively. Our oldest daughter is a recent graduate from UC Berkeley and is in her first year of medical school. Our younger twin daughters are recent graduates of UC Davis. We love to spend our summers vacationing and reconnecting on Maui. When we think of a relaxing vacation, we think of Hawaii. We enjoy the beaches, the people and the food, especially the shaved ice!
Why they chose this property
We purchased a place at Maalaea Banyans because we knew we wanted an oceanfront property. We wanted the true essence of Hawaii in our backyard and now we have the beach, the surf and oftentimes the whales and turtles in plain sight.
What makes this property unique
Besides the gorgeous view from the living room, we love that this property is roomy enough for our family of 5. We enjoy the central location of the place, close enough to the airport, to Kihei and Wailea to the south, and Lahaina to the north. We also get the cooling trade winds, adding a lovely breeze throughout the property.
