 "We enjoyed the condominium very much and would give it very high marks for being accurately represented. We were a group of 2 adults and two teenage children. We appreciated the owner's closet and made a couple of additions before we left. Valerie was very generous with her time and gave us many helpful tips regarding car rentals, flea markets etc. The location is very handy to the beautiful beach and there were all of the services required within a very short distance. The condominium itself was very clean and well equipped. The grounds were well kept and the pools were always frequently used at the end of the day. We had no problems and everything happened exactly as Valerie said that it would. We will most certainly stay there again should we return to Maui. Thanks for everything!" - Woody Leippi, Kronau, Saskatchewan, 08/27/08
"A home away from home--everything one needed to be comfortable and relaxed. We only stayed a few days while waiting for our own condo days because of flights etc. but enjoyed everything about this condo and would consider staying again. We appreciated all the little "extras" that made us feel welcome and gave us a chance to unwind and relax. Enjoyed sitting on the lanai, listening to the birds and other activity in the green space. Thanks for everyting!" - Joanne & Rex Armitage, Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, 06/15/08
"This condo is great and very clean. Has everthing you could think of. The kitchen is fully equipped, (even though we ate out the whole time.) It was so peaceful to sit on the lanai, drink coffee and enjoy the view. The beach is just right across the street. The grounds are very well kept.Can't wait to go back again." - Judy Hill, Surprise Arizona, 04/06/08
"We thoroughly enjoyed your spacious condo in Maui. ,with 4 adults and 2 little ones we had lots of room.. The kitchen was great to work in and we cooked all but 2 nights. Location is prime, quiet yet close to all amenities.We love the beach just minutes away, and great shopping so close. A real little gem of a place." - Ross/Gaille Bisson, Salmon Arm, BC, 02/18/08
"We had the pleasure of staying at Bill & Val's condo for a week. Not only did we have beautiful weather but the condo was just perfect. It was spotless when we arrived, very bright and cheery and very spacious. The two lanais offered a beautiful place to relax, enjoy a book, sit in the sun as well as listen to the birds chirping. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone travelling to Maui and if we return we will surely give Val a call. Thanks for the great time." - Ann Marie Phillips, Port Coquitlam, B.C., 02/02/08
 "We found the condo bright and roomy for our family of four. It is situated far enough from the road overlooking a green belt that it is quiet yet a short few minute walk to the beach. We awoke to the birds chirping each morning! I especially liked the tile floors. Valerie and Bill are a pleasure to deal with and we thank them for being such gracious hosts." - Stephanie Marshall, 01/10/08
"We had a fantastic time in Maui. Valerie was extremely helpful right from the start offering tips on car rentals and places to see. The condo was absolutely perfect for us. We couldn't have asked for anything more suitable. It was very clean, in a great location and had all the amenities we needed. I would definitely recommend it and would stay there again." - Christie Walton, Cayman Islands, 11/27/07
"This condo has it all. You will not be disppointed. It is very spacious, clean, nicely decorated, and has a large lanai (which many units in the Maui Banyan do not have). The owner was really accomodating and easy to work with. The unit is in a great location for beach, restaurants, and shopping and the complex has everything you could want, including, pools, hot tubs, barbeque grills, and tennis courts." - Bernadette & Jack Davis, Effort, PA, 10/09/07
"Our family of four (2 teenage boys) spent a week in Valerie's condo in July. We found the accomodations clean and comfortable. Nicely decorated. A short walk to the beach. For our first trip to Maui, we found the Kihei location to be very central to touring all the island. Plenty of parking. Check-in was easy. Staff helpful. Plenty of beach toys in the unit. Valerie gave us plenty of tips on shopping and restaurants. With our rental car we toured all on our own, even flying to Honolulu for a day. The kitchen allowed us to have some light meals including breakfast in so we only ate out once or twice a day. We are sure this worked out better than any all-inclusive trip we looked at. We give Valerie's unit our highest recommendation. The Bruce Kleinschmidt family" - Bruce Kleinschmidt, Jacksonville, IL, 07/28/07
"As usual our stay in Maui was fantastic. This was our 3rd visit to paradise and it won't be our last! Val's condo was very accomodating. It was very clean and spacious. A very short walk to the beautiful beach and shops and a very short drive to beautiful Wailea. This was our first time staying in Kihei and we loved it. Val was very helpful to us from day one. I would recommend her condo to anyone and we will definitley stay there again." - Sandy and Bob Callahan, Summerville, South Carolina, 03/31/07
 "We were so pleased to arrive at such a spacious, clean and well-appointed condo. after such a long trip from the frozen north. We particularly liked the large master bedroom and ensuite. It was almost like having another living room. You definitely feel a sense of privacy here. We also appreciated the brightness of the condo, as the windows make up one whole wall of the unit. As for cooking, you couldn't ask for a better set up, as the kitchen island is so handy, and the kitchen itself is very well-equipped. We especially enjoyed listening to the local classic rock (60's and 70's) radio station on the sound system while dining. Valerie was extremely helpful and informative from day one, even offering tips on local car rental agencies and airport tips. We would stay here again in a heartbeat." - Kris and Elaine Gustafson, Whitehorse, Yukon, 03/16/07
"What a great place. This was our second visit to Kihei and we were delighted with Valerie's condo. It was great for two couples - clean and extremely well supplied with everything you could want for a perfect vacation in paradise. The condo is located close to the beach and shopping but far enough away to avoid traffic noise. The pools and BBQ's are well maintained and again, close enough to be convenient but far enough away that you don't hear any noise from that area. The property is well landscaped and cared for and Valerie's lanai view of the bird sanctuary is a welcome sight each morning." - Doug and Lynn Meyer, Kirkland, Quebec, Canada, 03/01/07
"We found this condominium to be one of the best equipped and most thoughtfully furnished of all those we saw that our family and friends stayed in, which made it very comfortable to stay in." - Linda Maio, Berkeley, CA, 10/21/06
"We had a wonderful week on Maui for our daughter's wedding. P-207 at the Banyan was a perfect place for us with everything we needed. We saw turtles, moray eels, a spiny lobster, and tons of fish while snorkeling at the Kam 2 beach right across the street. I hope we can visit again in the not too distant future!" - Jennifer Galloway, Crystal Lake, Illinois, 07/23/06
"Had a wonderful 2 week stay at the Maui Banyan P207. It is a great location, so close to the beach, yet far enough back to not hear the traffic. Some days we didn't even use our car. Great BBQ's to grill great local fish. Wonderful snorkelling in front of the Maui Prince hotel about 10 minutes drive away in Wailea. Saw turtles every day we went there. This condo is perfect for a family." - Yves & Sally Dansereau, Calgary, Alberta, 05/07/06
 "We had a great time and great weather. Have stayed at the Maui Banyan before so were aware of the great amenities that it had. Friends who had never been to Maui came with us and absolutely loved it. The condo was great with the 2 separate sleeping areas. Enjoyed the pools and the new BBQ's. Fred's was a great place to eat and only a block away. Thanks for letting us stay in your condo. We hope to be back." - Janice Elliott, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, 04/12/06
"We stayed at the Maui Banyan for 2 weeks in February and had a great time.It has 2 nice lanais with a view of the bird sanctuary instead of the parking lot. The condo is very well equipped, we found everything we needed and then some. It is a great location - with a fantastic icecream parlour within walking distance. Plus the pool/BBQ areas were clean and nice to use." - S. Crawford, Nanaimo, BC, Can., 03/23/06
"We just got back from Val's condo and our stay was wonderful!! Great central location... large,very quiet condo...very clean and extremely well stocked unit. Checking in and out was a breeze, and staff was very helpful. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks Val for a great week !! Noreen" - Noreen Prokuski, Chicago, 02/21/06
"We are in the middle of a six week stay.The condo is the best equipped vacation condo, I have ever stayed in. We have had parents, kids, brother and wife staying with us and we have lacked for nothing. Great Property in location andmaintenance. Grill on barby's a couple times a week. Shop grocery store sales and save lots. The unit is extremely well layed out for use by two families and no noise between rooms or units. Highly reccoment" - Debra Albiso, Renton, wa, 01/26/06
"Had a lovely stay for two weeks in Nov. 2005. Lots of room for two couples, great kitchen, played lots of tennis. Close to the beach, quiet in the evening, no traffic noise." - Jan Trerise, Grand Forks, B,C., 11/30/05
 "Great location!Condo is located right across the street to one of the best beaches in Maui! Spacious bedrooms along with 2 full baths, Valerie was very gracious, our fist time in maui, close to great places to eat, drink and shop! We shopped at Foodland our 1st full day and ate breakfast every morning in the condo, this saved a ton of money for a nice dinner or lunch later in the day!!! We will be back!!!!" - Jacqueline Deschamps, west seneca, ny, 09/12/05
"This is a really nice place to stay. It lived up to our expectations and we had a wonderful time. We especially liked the layout of the kitchen -- we love to cook and had plenty of work space and could still carry on conversations while the cooking happened. We also loved using the beautiful gas grills by the pool. I'd also mention that the owners of this condo are really fantastic to communicate with. They love the island and they love their condo, and they go out of their way to make sure visitors feel like welcomed guests." - Katie Boyd, San Rafael, CA, 08/04/05
"This condo was a delightful surprise. We've stayed in others that were equipped with minimal everything; sheets, towels, dishes, pots, flatware. No such thing here. The owners have anticipated every need, right down to TWO stereo systems, and they never mentioned the Japanese-like soaking tub in the master bath. We never used the air conditioners. The ceiling fans stirred the trade winds and we slept with the lanai doors open every night. Lovely furniture, sparkling clean place, and a remarkable value. We'll be back, and we encourage anyone going to Maui to give this place a try. You won't regret it." - Betsy McKenna, Brooklyn, NY, 05/12/05
"The Banyan was a great condo for several reasons. The beach was just 5 min walk through beautifully well kept tropical grounds. Day trips to other areas of the island are just a short drive from Kihei (except for Hana, which feels like driving to the moon no matter where you started). Grocery stores nearby were convienient for making famly meals which saved a lot from the way high cost of restaraunts there. We looked at a one bedroom condo at the Banyan at an open house there and we were glad we got our 2 bedroom for the extra space needed with our large family (5). Great pools. Owners were helpful and honest. Would stay again." - T Eastman, Tulsa,Ok, 04/29/05
