Jackie's place was great. Wonderful location in a fantastic complex (Maui Banyan). There are 2 pools, ample and close parking and this part of Keihi is extremely walkable. Jackie's place had a great layout for 2 couples as each bedroom (with ensuite bathroom) are on either side of the living room / kitchen. Both bedrooms are good size and the condo is generally very compfortable and clean. Would definetly stay at Jackie's place again. - 11/27/2022Jennifer
Easy check-in process. Jackie was a great communicator and responded quickly when we reached out with questions. The location was wonderful, close to beaches and walkable restaurants. There are a lot of beach items available (umbrellas, chairs, ice chests). I recommend checking the umbrellas before taking them. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely stay again. - 11/10/2022Marc
Amazing place to stay. Jackie is very nice and always answers very fast. It was very easy to check-in too. The apartment is large with everything we need to have a nice stay. It is also well located, only a few meters from the beach, and within driving distance from other very nice beaches close to Kihei. I recommend it!! - 9/16/2022Jacqueline
Jackie was an awesome hostess during our stay in Maui. She provided clear and informative directions prior to and during our stay. We had a minor issue with the shower and the issue was addressed immediately!
The condo is located across the street from the beach and was walking distance from local restaurants!
Jackie provided beach towels and accessories that made going to the beach super convenient.
The unit was clean, colorful, and inviting!
Thank you Jackie for such a wonderful experience - 7/19/2022Jay
This place is a treasure! We traveled with our children and everything was stocked to have fun in the sun when we arrived. The kitchen has everything for making meals at home, or you can walk less than a block to some wonderful restaurants. The beach is right across the street and the pools are very convenient when you get tired of the beach. The grounds have beautiful flowers. We spent many evenings on the large lanai. Thank you for opening your place! - 6/10/2022Kim
Our host was super. Responded quickly to any questions I had. Had a book that helped with Helpful and need to know things around the area which was great. Took advice from this and all worked out. Clean and very nicely decorated. Everything is at the condo to get to the beach or 2 pools on the property. Well maintained condo and grounds. Would stay here again Thank you Jackie. Stay safe - 2/20/2022Josh
Great location, 3 minute walk from the condo to the beach. Large enough to sleep 5 comfortably. Very neat and tidy and clean. All the amenities you need for a stay in Kihei. Super close to lots of great places to eat. Jackie was very responsive and a great host!
Hot water in the shower was the only issue throughout our stay but we managed through it. There was some construction being done on site so that could have had something to do with it. - 2/12/2022Amanda
This is a must stay! Very clean, close to the ocean, and a wonderful host. I highly recommend. There is walking distance to an awesome beach, bars/restaurants, and some shops. The on site pool, hot tub, and many grills is also great. Couldn’t have had a better experience! The host gave us all information we needed and more. She was also the most flexible of any of the hosts we talked to. - 2/09/2022Maddi
This was the perfect location for us-we came to get married and needed a spot for my family to stay for a few days and get prepared. Location was very close to Wailea and right across the street from the beach. Everyone was friendly and we enjoyed our time here.
Thanks, Jackie for the great stay!! - 1/28/2022Lauren
Great space for our group of girlfriends enjoying some time together on Maui. Right across from a beach park and a short drive to many other hot spots on the island. Outdoor space was nice to hangout on, although not an ocean view. Highly recommend for a reasonable place if splitting between a group or family. Jackie was super communicative and helpful for anything we need. Yay Hawaii! - 1/26/2022Mar
Great location! A little further back from the beach but only a three minute walk. The condo is great for our retreat. Well stocked and clean. A little smaller in person but still is cozy and spacious at the same time. Wi-Fi works great! Plenty of toys on the deck. We added some noodles! Check out is firm so be sure you prepare to be out by 10 AM. This place is popular and has back to back reservations.
Oh and Jackie was super sweet! - 1/21/2022Ellen
Incredible spot, perfect for bigger families that also want a home-like vibe. Felt just like home and Jackie could not have been a better host. The place was spotless as was all the kitchenware and cutlery. We made use out of the kitchen by making breakfasts, had all the amenities. Even comes with a Washer/Dryer AND detergent! A gorgeous location with lanais on every single room with ice boxes, beach chairs, beach towels, and umbrellas which we made use out of. Will definitely be returning! - 1/02/2022Maya
We enjoyed our stay at the Maui Banyan! The location is perfect...a 5 minute walk to the beach, lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance, and a central location for accessing other popular parts of the island by car (Lahaina, Wailea). The condo was well stocked, with 4 beach chairs, beach umbrellas, a cooler, 2 boogie boards...there really wasn't anything missing in the entire place.
My only gripe, which isn't under their control, is that it is a ground floor unit without a view, so there's not much natural light.

Jackie was very responsive to any issues (the microwave suddenly stopped working, and she had a new one installed the same day while we were out for the day). I can't wait to go back to Kihei and stay here again. read less - 12/23/2021Emily
Great location in a quiet setting. A few minutes walking distance to a quiet beautiful beach. Close to multiple restaurants and coffee spots you can walk to as well. Check in process was seamless- Jackie texted the code to use on the door a few hours prior to check in. Rooms were exactly as pictured. AC worked well and fans were available as well- although the apartment doesn’t get direct sun and just the fans were fine. I appreciated the games,books, and beach equipment .

Jackie was a great host and the place was awesome! Great location right on the beach, and close by the restaurants and shops. Place was just as pictured and had everything we needed. Check in/out was easy and communication with the host was great. Would stay here next time I come to Maui! - 11/24/2021Kaela
This was an amazing stay. Just a few steps to the beautiful beach and felt like a home away from home. Everything was super clean and the decor and furnishings were top notch. Jackie was super helpful and quick and communicating when we had questions. I would highly recommend for your next visit to Maui! - 9/21/2021Anand
We just had a great 12 day stay in Kihei. The condo was comfortable, nicely updated, and very clean. The unit has a great layout and our 2 kids enjoyed having their own full bath connected to their bedroom. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. Throughout the condo everything was well organized and labelled. Another big plus was all the beach gear that was provided (beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel masks, sand toys, boogie boards, etc.).

Also close to good restaurants, bakeries, and shave ice. Parking was easy as the condo’s lot is close to the building entrance. Communication was timely and clear. We had zero issues during our stay. Would love to stay there again on our next trip to Maui. Aloha! read less - 8/29/2021Makaila
Jackie’s place was in an amazing stay in such a wonderful location! I couldn’t have gotten a better experience of Maui anywhere else! I appreciate how kind, warm, and understanding Jackie was when things didn’t go as planned! She communicated quickly and efficiently to ensure that I had a wonderful stay! I had the most relaxing time in Kihei, met locals, and loved that everything was in walking distance!! I also loved that this place was stocked with everything i needed so i didn’t have to do or buy anything extra.

Jackie's home is even more beautiful than what the photos show, and her hospitality is top notch! The quick and clear communication, the warm welcome, the fantastic recommendations and even how to spend the day between check-out and your late-in-the-day flights...she is just awesome.
My parents had accidentally locked themselves out of their unit's safe box which held their keys and wallets, and just one quick message over to Jackie, she had already called someone to help unlock the box within the half hour.

The communication and prompt helpfulness is what made Jackie truly stand out. A lot of rentals these days are managed by property management companies, but Jackie and her family take care of their properties like their own homes, and you could really tell the difference.
This home is quite literally steps away from the beach - we cannot stop raving about how great of a deal we got with this one! Prime location with an affordable rate - you can't beat that. My parents also kept comparing the beautiful beach on the front steps on this property, to all the other beaches they've been to, and they are sold that this is the best one yet.
Everything was clean, tidy, and we just had an unbelievable experience. We hope many more families are able to enjoy their vacations at Jackie's properties as they will experience firsthand the unmatched warm welcome and stay they will have here. read less - 6/26/2021Alice
Wonderful stay at the serenity! It was our second stay here and by far, one of our best airbnb experience. AC and fans kept us cool and all the amenities were right on point. It was very clean and organized.
Best of all, Jackie was easy to communicate with and responded to all our questions timely. Thank you for making our vacation amazing! Mahalo. - 6/13/2021Dianne
This is a great place to stay for the price! It is totally updated and attractive. Jackie was very quick to respond to all messages.

This was a great place in a great location. It was beautifully decorated and had all of the amenities. I loved how everything was labeled! That really helped me out. Jackie was fabulous and easily accessible. She provided excellent info on Maui too! My only negative comment would be some loud neighbors at night and the building exterior could use a paint job. Very minor in the big picture of things! - 4/13/2021Gregory
Excellent host with beautifully remodeled condo walking distance to three amazing beaches. We cooked most of our meals in the condo and found the kitchen to be perfect for preparing our island meals. The washer and dryer were a definite plus. Beds were comfortable. We appreciated the generous cancellation policy which enabled us to book despite the uncertainty of the pandemic. Maui was open for business and we felt welcomed by the locals. - 4/03/2021Steve
Great amenities, very clean, and loved the location - across the street from beaches!! Short walk to restaurants, grocery, and multiple beaches. We stayed in March and were able to witness turtles along the shore and watch the humpbacks.
There was a great healthy grocery store just a few minutes walk that had great sandwiches and other food.
Such a great visit! - 3/21/2021Tara
My four siblings and I went to Maui for my sisters 50th birthday to celebrate in style. Our accommodations did not disappoint! Just enough of a neighborhood feel with all the right amenities and quick walk to the beach, we really enjoyed our stay and we will be back!
BONUS... we brought our own equipment and snorkeled on the nearby beach and saw a lot a sea life including green turtles... even just waist deep in the water! This would be perfect for a family with kids just starting to snorkel. - 3/01/2021Thuy
literally the perfect location. few minutes walk from the beach, close to both pools!bigger than I expected ! I came under some unfortunate circumstances while there and she was able to accommodate as much as she could. I am very grateful . AC in each room! and fans! there was a note to let the cleaners know if we used the hide a bed and that showed cleanliness . I would stay here again! thank you Jackie - 1/29/2021Andrew
Stylish space that is super comfortable and very close to a gorgeous beach. Great access to 2 pools each with fun open air clubhouse and bbq gas grills. Grounds were pristine and maintainable was very proactive, keeping the pools spotless.
Convenient parking with luggage trollers and shopping carts.
Loved walking out the front door at dawn, walking 3 min to the beach, and doing an open water spin in the gentle surf every morning. - 11/28/2020Max
This is place is really great! I stayed here for a month with three of my friends and we all fit very comfortably. Jackie was quick about responding to any questions we had during our stay and always made sure that we had everything we needed to be comfortable. Also, the condo itself is awesome; it has a great kitchen and plenty of space. Also, it’s literally across the street from the beach which was a huge plus. Pools and bbq areas are nice too. Overall I 100% recommend staying here, guaranteed great stay. - 9/30/2020Gisela
This place was perfect! Great location, close to everything. Super cute and Jackie had everything we needed for our stay! The kitchen is gorgeous, we loved everything about the complex. Jackie was a pleasure to communicate with as well, very understanding and answers questions with no problem! Mahalo Jackie, we’re looking forward to visiting and booking again in the future! - 7/28/2020Jessica
Our stay at Serenity by the Sea was fantastic! We knew we wanted to be in Kihei for the weather, beaches and proximity to Molokini and this place was a FIND! First, I cannot say enough about Jackie as a Superhost. She was incredibly communicative and informative at every turn from inquiry to check-out. Moreover, given we were navigating the outbreak of COVID-19 back him, she extended us extra time in the condo with our fluctuating travel plans home which was fantastic.

The condo itself is equipped with everything you will need during your stay. The location is right across the street from the Kamaole Beach II which we went to multiple times a day. Jackie has provided beach umbrellas, beach coolers, beach chairs, boogie boards and tons of sand toys for little ones. The condo is so comfortable and perfect for two couples or (in our case) our family (my husband and me in the queen room and our two teenage girls in the room with two doubles). The kitchen has everything you need to cook, filtered water in the fridge, freezer has an ice-maker and there is ample coffee-making equipment, toaster oven, microwave etc. Each room of the unit has ceiling fans and A/C to control the temperature to your liking. LOVE the washer/dryer to minimalize packing and Jackie kindly stocks plenty of detergent for doing laundry.
The complex is a two-minute walk to shops, little grocery store, an incredible homemade cinnamon bun place with a line out the door each morning and some fun bars. Of course, nothing beats grabbing a sundowner and heading to the beach to watch the spectacular Maui sunsets. The complex has two swimming pools which were lovely when it was windy at the beach. Plenty of grills at each pool to share for meal prep. Honestly, I would stay here again in a heartbeat and can't wait to get back to Kihei to scuba dive, watch the whales breaching in the bay and soak in that wonderful sunshine. Thank you Jackie!! read less - 3/20/2020Huyen
Awesome home and location. We loved that we could easily walk across the street to the beautiful beach and encounter a sea turtle. Great restaurants, coffee, souvenir shopping around the corner and down the street. All walking distance. We also appreciated the late check out. Mahalo! - 3/11/2020Kim
This was our first time to Maui as a family and we were not disappointed. The condo was well stocked and had everything we needed to dine in or BBQ! We especially appreciated the beach chairs, coolers and beach towels! This condo is only steps from the beach and great restaurants and shopping. - 3/03/2020Neekta
First of all... The host was super accomodating with early checkin and late check out! The location of this home was great. After staying in Kaanapali, I actually preferred Kihei. It's much closer to better beaches, road to Hana, the crater, snorkeling to Molokini, etc. (and the airport). The beach was right outside the complex, along with my favorite restaurant on the island, Coconut's Fish Cafe. The home was spacious for our group, and though the sleeper sofa wasn't comfortable, it was a nice extra accomodation (on top of 3 other beds).

We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Jackie’s place! It is across the street from the beach and walking distance to restaurants and bars. There was more than enough space for our party of four and super helpful amenities like the beach gear. The check in process and communication with the host was easy and super efficient. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again! - 2/07/2020Christina
Jackie's condo was truly serenity by the sea! The space was clean, cozy and nestled in a wonderful complex located right across the street from beautiful Kihei beaches. Our family of five fit comfortably in the adorably decorated condo and enjoyed a handful of nights cooking in the kitchen and soaking in the jacuzzis. The complex was quiet and beautifully kept with grassy lawns and flowers. Jackie was attentive and helpful with just the few questions we had upon check-in. Fabulous space we'd love to come visit again! - 1/17/2020
