Our first trip to Maui and we loved it. The condo was everything that was promised. Very relaxing. Loved the BBQ's by the pool. Everything was very well maintained and clean. Waking up to the view on Christmas morning was amazing. There was a grocery store right across the street from Papakea. Be prepared to see whales right off the beach. I would definitely recommend this property to my friends and family...and will hopefully be staying again someday. Thank you.

We stayed for two nights in April, owner was very accommodating of our request for such a short stay. Unit had everything we needed, very quiet. We've stayed at Papakea several times, great location and atmosphere. None of the overdone resort feel to it, but very well maintained and up to date, unlike some other properties of a similar age. A short walk south along the beach takes you to several large resorts with restaurants, etc. Concierge in lobby was very helpful in booking a one-day trip to Molokai for us.

A lovely hideaway for two

My fiance and I stayed at this Papakea studio condo and it suited us perfectly. The condo was clean, well equipped and had nice, simple decor. The view from the lanai was beautiful. The resort had gorgeous landscaping and was in a good location...close to everything without being right in the middle of the congested, touristy areas. The owner was great to work with during the reservation process. There was a binder in the condo full of recommended places to go and places to eat that was very helpful! Also, when we first checked in, we couldn't get the ceiling fan to work. I called the cleaning/maintenance people and they came and fixed it within a couple hours, which we really appreciated! Overall our experience was just great. We would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend it to others!!

We couldn't have asked for a better place in Maui. The view was gorgeous, and the location was perfect, close but just far enough out to feel like you weren't in the middle of the tourism. The condo was clean and just the right size for 2 people. We would definitely recommend this rental.

Amazing

This was our 3rd visit to Maui and I would say it was our best. We came this time to just relax and enjoy the area we were staying at. I loved being able to walk to various places and especially being able to sit by the ocean outside our Condo and just relax. The best place to snorkel and relax is just up the road at Napili beach and than to boogie board at Fleming beach was amazing. It was great to sit out on the lanai and drink coffee, relax and watch the whales. This was the best Condo and resort we have stayed at. We will be back. :0)

Excellent vacation rental!

We had an excellent time and loved the condo! Everything was so clean, the condo was quiet, and there were multiple pools to choose from. It was not easy to swim in the ocean directly outside the property since there wasn't a beach, but that wasn't a problem for us, since we were able to just drive a few miles up the road and had our share of quiet, empty beaches. I was able to jog up the coast a little ways to the boardwalk along the ocean for some beautiful views of the ocean. We were within walking distance of multiple other resorts that had restaurants (since otherwise there aren't many places to eat out nearby). Overall, we had no complaints and would stay there again!

We would definitely recommend this condo. It was very clean, nicely remodeled and perfect for the two of us. We stopped at Costco when we got off the plane to stock the refer. Used the bbq's next to the pool & hot tub a couple times. Very convenient. Great views. We will be going back for sure!

"Thank you so much for making our honeymoon that much more special! The room was clean, comfortable, modern & full of everything we possibly could've needed! The view was Spectacula - which was our favorite part...life back home just won't be the same knowing what we are missing here in Maui! Hope to be back soon, Jodi & Mikey"

"A perfect week in Maui! The weather was flawless, the beaches had plenty of sand. The condo was great - well stocked, good location and amazing views. We'll miss our morning breakfasts with the whales for sure. Hope everyone enjoys their stay here as much as we have. Katie & Aaron"
