About this property
Cozy studio, split AC, kitchenette, steps to beach in best South Kihei location!
Aloha and welcome to the Tranquil Turtle Retreat at Maui Banyan Resort! Our recently updated studio is located right in the heart of South Kihei close to world-class beaches, shopping and amazing restaurants. Enjoy Maui at its finest!
The Tranquil Turtle first floor studio has been decorated and furnished in tropical beach style to reflect the unique atmosphere of Hawaii. The studio sleeps two, with California King size bed. It also features a small kitchenette (a fridge, a microwave, a coffee maker, a kettle, a blender and a tableware/silverware). Enjoy your morning coffee on a private shaded lanai.
We offer cable TV and free Wi-Fi.
Don’t overlook the fact that this studio uses a premium split-system for air conditioning. Not only this provides you with an elevated level of comfort, it also means no tropical insects or any other living things will be entering through window A/Cs in your sleep (yes, this is tropics!).
Please note that we don't have a washer/dryer in the studio (there's a laundry center in Kihei that we can recommend).
Pack lightly for the beach! The studio has beach towels, beach chairs, a cooler, a sun umbrella and even boogie boards.
Our studio is facing the "quiet" side of the resort, away from the traffic noise of South Kihei Rd and the parking lots of the resort. Because it is toward the rear of the resort, it is very private with much less foot traffic going by. There is also a second (less busier) swimming pool located right across this building.
Upon arrival, you can receive a free parking pass at the Maui Banyan office. Parking is limited and not guaranteed, and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Maui Banyan Resort offers its visitors 2 pools with hot tubs, BBQ areas, tennis court, but the best part of it, is it's location. It is right across the street from one of the best beaches in South Maui, Kamaole Beach 2, where you can take long walks on the sand, snorkel with sea turtles, watch Humpback whales swim by, have a picnic, work on your tan, and witness a world famous Maui Sunset. If you feel like taking surfing lessons or trying stand-up paddleboarding, rentals are a 3-minute drive away at the best beginner surf spot on Maui. There are also lots of other activities close by including scuba diving, kayaking, and world-class golfing. Feel like an evening out? You are a short walk to some of the most popular restaurants and shopping in South Kihei including Cafe O'Lei, Coconuts, Fred's, Moose McGillycuddy's, just to name a few. There are also lots of quick bites, food trucks, a health food store, a convenience store, and a supermarket close by plus plenty of souvenir shops. Wailea is also only a 5-minute drive to the south where there are plenty of upscale dining options (Ko, Ferraro's, Monkeypod, Mateo, Spago, Duo) and high-end shopping at one of the resorts or the Shops at Wailea. You are also in the perfect location to explore the rest of the island. Day trips to Lahaina, Haleakala Crater, Paia, Makawao, and Hana are all very easy from our condo's central locations. The Welcome book we send to all our guests contains Day Trip Suggestion, Best Beaches, Best Snorkeling Places, Best Local Restaurants and other information that makes planning your stay a breeze. We also have Maui Revealed and Maui Day by Day books in our condo that are highly rated by many tourists and will help you to discover the best of Maui. If being close to everything is important to you and you prefer to walk rather than drive, then our condo is the perfect place for you! Welcome to your South Kihei home away from home!!!
