Aloha! Amy & Rick's Studio at the Maui Banyan was absolutely amazing! This is our second trip (Anni-moon) to Maui in several years and needed a short getaway from the woes of our global pandemic. The space is exactly what you see in the Airbnb pictures and MORE. Everything that you need in a home away from home is there, including a kitchenette w/hotplate and full sized refrigerator/freezer, dining area, and balcony. No need to bring beach towels or lug beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers or boogie boards on your trip to the Studio BECAUSE, your marvelous hosts have thought of all those island/beach necessities and will have them waiting for you to use upon arrival. Location, location, location...if you are looking for easy beach access, this is the place for you. We walked across the street to the beach everyday and to breakfast/lunch/dinner as many of Kihei's popular eateries and local shops are within walking distance from the Studio. Having a car is not necessary if you plan on staying in Kihei at the Studio. Uber was another option we used when we wanted to venture to Wailea for our anniversary dinner. Many of the rental car agencies are sold out, but that did not ruin our vacay as the Studio is CLOSE to all of the essential island activities. We could not have asked for more hospitable and generous hosts who shared some of Maui's best kept secrets with us. My husband and I were able to hang out with Rick & Amy during our visit and feel like a part of their Ohana (family). We will definitely be flying back to visit before the year is over, hopefully the Studio will be available on our dates because we are now SUPER spoiled from this visit. Mahalo! Cherone & Nef
