About this property

The Makai Suite (by the ocean) is the largest and closest suite in the desired F Building to Maui's famous and best Kamaole Beach, Kamaole 2. This spacious condo offers stunning ocean views. luxurious finishes and an exotic, gourmet kitchen. I have the closest possible parking spot, right beside the accessible spot!!! I often host parties of 8! Maui Banyan boasts lushly landscaped grounds with 2 pools & 2 hot tubs, tennis, and several BBQ'ing/outdoor eating areas. The F building is the only building featuring its own private lawn with picnic table and BBQ. It is a great place for kids to play, while Mom or Dad is running the BBQ. This property features a front desk and 24 hour 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 has one of the few, reserved parking spots in the F building which is there for your exclusive use, right next to the accessible parking spot, for your entire stay. This is very convenient for coming and going. loading and unloading!

Have the peace of mind of staying with a Premier Partner 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).

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.

During the Maui fires

The property was as described for the most part. It was myself and my 2sons although it’s a property for 8 I choose this property so they can both have large beds. There were 3 of us and we constantly complained about the wifi we couldn’t use our cells for social media, emails, movies ect in the room. The day we landed was the day of the Lahaina fires we had no idea what was happening when we landed. It was a very emotional sad time seeing the locals knowing it was wrong for us to be there as it was day 1.. we were never offered an option to leave for a refund so most of the time we were in the room staying off the streets as it was obvious locals were trying to get things done. They didn’t want any visitors at that time. Now as time has passed it had been made clear that west Maui is closed and tourism is still welcomed but that first week was horrible, sad and devastating. And we should not have been there.. other than that the property is fine. A little more compassion, consideration and flexibility would have been greatly appreciated during that time. Also the pic shows location is A-1.

Excellent property exactly as described

Stayed there July 15-21 2023 The unit is stocked with everything you could want. Was the best stocked kitchen of all my rental stays. Parking was never a problem and the beach is right across the street with great sand also on the ocean bottom. There are plenty of restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. The host Lisa was extremely responsive and the instructions were clear. There is one queen bed and another bedroom with 2 double beds. I would definitely stay there again.

Fine but not as good as advertised

Kam II beach is beautiful and the proximal location to the beach was great. The condo was certainly very spacious and comfortable although the mattress in the master bedroom was much too soft for my liking. The condo was indeed in the corner of the complex closest to the beach but the ground level location made the whole unit extremely dark; it received no natural light. If you stood on the small patio, on a chair to look over the shrubs, maybe you could see the beach. Additionally, the street level location resulted in excess noise and minimal privacy. Parking was also an issue although that could be an anomaly related to the busy Thanksgiving weekend. Certainly a pleasant stay but a little disappointing.

Beautiful, cozy home located right across from BEAUTIFUL BEACH

This home was so very beautiful and CLEAN! The photos that are provided in this listing don't capture just how lovely and cozy this home is. The pull out sofa bed was actually SO very comfortable as well. I love that the check in process is so easy, no need to meet anyone, you can just input the door code and begin your vacation. The parking pass was very easy to get and the staff was so very welcoming and nice. Me and my girlfriends flew in from Honolulu for a quick work trip/vacation and couldn't have chosen a better VRBO property to stay at. It was perfect for us 6-7 girls. We had so much fun swimming and relaxing at the pool, so nice to have access to a clean pool and hot tub. We were provided so many beach towels and shower towels to use which was VERY nice. You are provided Tide Pods and dryer sheets to do laundry if needed. When we return to Maui I would definitely book here again. I wish I was able to meet the owner of the property as I had received all her/his messages but did not really know how to "send a response". She/he was very informative and made sure to send me the code as the pool code was updated (which I appreciated a lot). Thank you so so much for welcoming us to your home!

My cup runneth over !!!

This was my first time using Vrbo and I was skeptical. I was worried we would arrive at our destination and wouldn’t actually have a place to stay. Once I arrived, I quickly learned the only problem was myself. I am in my 50’s and new to using apps and codes and my phone for everything I do. I had everything I needed except for the door code. The owner of the condo responded immediately and we were in within minutes. She was amazing and courteous and very patient with me. Condo was better than described and we had the trip of a lifetime. There is no need to search the island for a beach because the one directly across from our room was amazing (from surf to sunset). Quick note …. Beds were comfortable and the furnishings were impressive. Loved every second. Thank you…. We will be back.

Girls Trip

Lisa was fantastic to communicate with. We had 5 women in our group. The house was in a great spot-food, beach, cinnamon rolls!! were all within walking distance. The house was comfortable, we couldn’t hear neighbors above or next to us which was amazing. There was one ac unit that cooled the house and fans to place in rooms keeping the house a perfect comfortable temperature. We loved the beach chairs available to us, morning chats on the lanai and the two bathrooms were great for our group! Lisa is very thorough with instructions/house rules and really set us up for success! Overall it was a 5 star experience. Thank you for opening your home to a truly memorable and fantastic girls retreat!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Taylor

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.
