A selection of 11 among the best Airbnb in Maui with the highest rating score and most flattering reviews, your dream home is on one of the most beautiful islands in Hawaii.

Maui is one of the most popular Islands in Hawaii with so many amazing things to do.

But when it comes to where to stay in Maui it’s difficult to choose among so many amazing options among both hotels and apartments.

When I travel I always prefer to have my own apartment because I find staying in a private home be more intimate and personal.

And there are so many amazing Airbnbs in Maui and vacation rental options for any budget that is very easy to find the perfect one.

And if you are wondering, you could visit Maui for one day only, but there is so much to do and see that if you could stretch it to at least 3 days you will have the chance to enjoy all the most exciting activities that the island has to offer.

If this is you, check out these amazing properties I have found in the best areas of Maui.

What other guests say:

“Pictures don’t do this property justice. Keith was a tremendous host as well. Highly recommend!“

“I hesitate to write this review because I feel like it´s perfection should stay a secret but….after visiting MAUI numerous times throughout the years, this was by far my best experience! I’ve always stayed at the “high end” resorts but had no interest because of Covid, wanted to more privacy and to make our own meals, etc.

What guests say:

“Couldn’t rave about this place enough. It’s a beautiful location and immaculately clean. The owner is the sweetest and super communicative. The unit was stocked with anything we could think of or need. BOOK if you can!!“

“We had a wonderful week in Mahana 317. Not only is the view unbeatable and literally right above the beach, but the unit itself is probably the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed in. It has been perfectly remodeled and has all the amenities you need. We spent lots of time on the lovely patio furniture, and the bed was super comfortable. Owner was great at communication and the check in was smooth. The beach directly in front of Mahana is not great, but you are close to Airport beach and Kaanapali. Overall a perfect stay in a fantastic unit!“

“The condo is in a fantastic location, directly across from Sugar Beach. It was so nice to have extra space to spread out with our family. We especially loved having two bedrooms and the laundry in the unit. Megan did a fantastic job making recommendations when we asked and had a notebook full of helpful suggestions. We look forward to staying here again.“

What guests say:

“This condo was a wonderful place for our family of 4. There were plenty of beach toys, snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc to keep us all happy, and even a wagon to carry it all in. The condo itself is very clean and nicely updated, and the location is close to the main pool/pavilion and the beach. Christine provided a very helpful list of ideas for things to do on the island. The pavilion was beautiful at sunset- we had dinner there 3 of the 8 nights of our stay because we just couldn’t find a better view. And we saw whales from there for several days, which was the icing on the cake! Overall we had a great stay, and can’t wait to come back!!“

“My wife & 2 kids have been to Maui many times, including renting other properties in Ekahi Village, and this rental stands out! Great location, close to the beach & pool, first floor, nicely updated & such a nice and responsive owner. Can’t say enough good things about our experience and would highly recommend this Vrbo property for anyone looking to rent in Wailea!!“

“Nice place and location, would definitely do it again!“

What guests say:

“This was our second time staying at the Maui Banyan and we love the location. The pools and hot tubs are great. The BBQ areas by the pools are ideal for cooking meals and the covered eating areas are great as well. Our only complaint about our unit was the air conditioner. It was extremely noisy and the fact that it was not to be used at less than 72 degrees meant that our room was warmer than we would like for sleeping. The access to the outside at ground level was also ideal.“

“My girlfriend and I had a great time spending 3 nights in this unit! The space, while not enormous, is more than adequate for a couple. There’s a pool in the condo complex, and the building is right across the street from a beach. It’s in a very central location in Kihei, so it’s easy to walking distance to a variety of beaches in Kihei and a short drive to Wailea and Makena. We would stay again.“

“Cozy & clean property. Walking distance to many restaurants and grocery stores.“

Guests also say:

“Clean unit, quite area with pools, jacuzzi and BBQ. Close to beaches and shopping. Owners are very responsive and helpful. Mahalo.”

“We really enjoyed our week at this condo. The unit was clean and felt like home. The extras, like beach chairs, coolers, and a washer/dryer really kept us comfortable. We were just a short 15-minute walk down the hill to some of the best beaches and resorts in Maui. We walked down to the beach path almost every night to watch the sunset and even got some free entertainment as we walked by several luaus being performed right next to the path. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Maui. Mahalo for a great, relaxing place to stay.“

“We really enjoyed our time here. Was nice to come home from the crowds to a quiet patio with the birds singing. The beach chairs and umbrella were really great to have. It’s sometimes hard sleeping in a new bed but it was very comfy and we slept great. Will definitely stay again!.”
