Vacation Rentals by Owner

A week in paradise at Papakea

Date of Stay: 02/23/12 Review Submitted: 03/25/12

The listing and photos of this condo were all exactly as we found D209 to be. We felt quite at home there and loved being able to have our meals on the lanai overlooking the beautiful grounds of Papakea. The condo was well maintained, and the groundskeepers at Papakea were always busy giving everything outside the best of care. We would highly recommend this condo to others interested in finding a home- away-from-home on Maui.

Beautiful Unit

I stayed in this unit for 13 days in October and had a marvelous time. The arrangments for gaining entry as well as parking went as smooth as possible upon my arrival. The Papakea grounds are pleasing to the eye and is very located along the main highway with easy access to good snorkeling places and shopping. All of the visitors I had in this unit commented on how nice of a unit it was and once they heard about the rate, they recognized it was a most excellent deal. I hope to return to this unit the next time I'll be in Maui.

We had a wonderful, relaxing week at Papakea, we hated to leave. The condo was perfect for us. We ate breakfast and dinner on the lanai overlooking the beautiful grounds and with a ocean view too! Thank you to Merci for making the transaction of renting her condo so easy. I would not hesitate to rent from Merci again. We hope to be back next year. Dick, Carol & Anna (Oregon)

We just returned from a 12-night stay at this lovely condo. It was absolutely perfect! Very comfortable and well-supplied with everything you need. We loved the lanai overlooking the meticulous Papakea grounds and ocean. We didn't want to leave! We would definitely recommend this unit without hesitation!!

This condo is sooo great! We have stayed at the Papakea before and loved it then, we love it even more now. We have also stayed at larger resorts but still prefer The Papakea. I would highly recommend renting this condo! Mersi was so very helpful and everything was just as we were told. The transaction was very easy and we were even able to use a credit card for our stay which allowed us to earn flight miles towards our next trip :) The owners couldn't have been better to work with. When you come to Maui you should definately stay in this unit! Thank you sooooo much for our wonderful stay!!!! We will be back :)

We stayed for a week in early March and had a very good time. The resort grounds were extremely well maintained and the unit was in very good condition. We stayed in Building D which had a smaller ocean view but nonetheless a very comfortable stay.

We just returned home from our yearly visit to our beloved Maui----what a perfect 2 weeks!!! Besides the gorgeous weather and serenity of the island, we so enjoyed sharing your condo. The garden and ocean view was a beautiful way to greet each day---the kitchen was so workable and very well stocked---the shower and bed--Heavenly!!!! We have stayed in a few condos at Papakea and yours ranks on top, for sure. After a wonderful day of beach and snorkeling we looked so forward to a shower and pupus on the lanai. >Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home with us, have a happy, healthy spring. Look forward to planning next year in Maui. > with renewed spirits, > Mike and Donna > P.S. LOVED the snorkel gear!!

Guest: Kathy Date of Stay: 12/-17-10 Review Submitted: 01-17-11 I wanted to thank you for the use of your wonderful condo for our vacation. It was the best vacation we have ever had. I wish we were there now. The Papakea Resort was beautiful and perfect for us. The people in the office were very nice and helpful, too. Your condo is beautiful and so was the view! We enjoyed all of the other visitors we met there. The Fish Market became our favorite place to get great fresh fish. I don't believe you ever would have to cook in HI if you enjoyed sushi, sashimi and poke' of course! We really wanted to snorkle and we did lots of it. We especially enjoyed Ahihi Bay (3 times) and Honolua Bay. It was like swimming in an aquarium. Collins took two surfing lessons and did great. He also surfed next to the condo a couple of times. He has already talked to someone here about learning to wind surf. We have gobs of lakes. We had a great trip on a Trilogy tour. The snorkeling off of Molokini was disappointing, but the crew, the beautiful new sailboat, the food, and guests were great. We stopped at Turtle Town on the way back and I swam next to a turtle bigger than me who just looked at me and slowly kept swimming. We enjoyed doing things all over the island and stayed very busy, but enjoyed the sunsets almost every night at Papakea. The condo was such an easy place for us to get to everything. We were so relaxed and then BOOM back to reality. Christmas, kids home and then snow, snow and more snow. and more snow....I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and New Year together. Thank you again and WE CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!! Aloha....Kathy (I forgot to tell you we saw Mama, Baby and Escort Whales up close on our last day at Ahihi Bay. One breached!!! Breathtaking.

My new wife and I were very pleased with our stay at this condo for our honeymoon. The bedroom has a nice bed and it was great to have a full kitchen as well. We enjoyed the fact that it had a 2 person shower as well. We thought that the grounds were kept up and landscaped beautifully and that you can see the ocean and walk to it in about 2 minutes. We were very happy with the communications with owner of the condo as well, she was nice and helpful. We would recommend this condo for any couple.

I must say that was one of the most enjoyable holidays I have had, because of the accommodations. They were excellent, clean with all that one could ask for. I would highly recommend this location. It is beautiful and as I say "paradise".

The condo we rented was all I can say AWESOME. It had a spectacular view, and the upgrades were very well done. The place had a very warm and inviting feel. We were definitely pleased that we could spend our time in Maui at this resort.
