Kihei Vacation Rental condo

We had the BEST time. We decided that the Maui Banyan is the perfect place to stay, we loved this spacious and comfortable condo, we loved how close it is to the beach, we loved the ocean views… Everything was great!! We only wish we could have stayed longer.

We took a jaunt to the western part of Maui and decided that the beaches in the south are so much better. We spent most of our time at Big Beach and the beach right across from the condo. Every morning, we walked across the street to the beach before sunrise with coffee in hand and went swimming as soon as the sun rose. The water is so warm at that beach! Then we’d come back and make a papaya and banana smoothie in the blender, and sit out on the lanai with breakfast, watching the waves. We were so glad for the blender and the coffee grinder! This starts to show how well-appointed the condo is. (There are also beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler, but bring your own beach umbrella!)

We did various things over the three days of afternoons (Paia, Kaanapali, Iao Valley, farmer’s market), but we’d end each day the way we started – a walk to the beach and a sunset swim! Our favorite places for dinner were Café O’Lei (great recommendation from the owner – we had our 11th anniversary dinner there) and Pita Paradise. There are so many places to eat that are within walking distance from the condo.

The owner was great to work with. She gave us wonderful recommendations for our stay. We will definitely stay here again when we return to the island!
