Owner's Map of Papakea Resort
We went to Maui on our honeymoon 20 years ago and have gone at least once a year every year since. We always dreamed of having our own home on the island and were lucky enough to find Papakea a few years ago. Papakea is one of the few remaining resorts on Maui that still maintains the feel of old Hawaii. It's quiet, with beautiful landscaping, plenty of open areas and a magnificent ocean view. We have enjoyed many wonderful vacations here with friends and family over the years.

Our family of 6 arrived late, so we didn't see much, but went to sleep to the sound of the waves. We all woke up to find we were in paradise! What a wonderful, beautiful place. We had a wonderful time and, after 10 days, your condo felt like home. We'll be back!

I want to thank you for providing such an excellent place to stay during our first trip to Maui. From our first conversation with you until we closed the door to leave the condo, everything more than met our expectations. We enjoyed sunrise at Haleakala as well as snorkeling, hiking surfing, whale watching, shopping and just being lulled to sleep by the sound of the ocean and waking to the songs of birds. Thank you also for the wonderful kitchen supplies - we didn't want for a thing.

I just cannot say enough about your place, it was just perfect and had everything we needed and more, were even thrilled to find the coolers we could use on a couple outings. We had a great week in HI. I had originally wanted a true oceanfront unit, but then was glad I had just the view I had. In your place I could see everything - the pool area to see the barbecues or when my husband had the kids at the pool, etc., and then the beach still right in my face the whole time. I had seen bad reviews on this place, but could tell those were attributable to individual units, making me even more glad I had gone through an owner to assure a positive experience. The rest of the property is just lovely and beautiful, quiet and laid back. Thanks again, and we hope to return!

Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with our family. Your condo is beautiful and had everything we needed. We loved the view from the lanai and the sound of the ocean from the master bedroom. Our grandson loved the beach and tidepools and the rest of us were happy to sit at the seawall and watch him play in the sand. We snorkeled almost every day from the beach next-door. We truly hope to return.

Just wanted to let you know we had a great time in Maui. Your condo is lovely and worked beautifully for our two families and had all the right amenities. We especially liked your shower floors. The grass section by the ocean was perfect for watching the sunsets and discussing another visit sometime in the future. We’ll definitely keep your information to rebook. Thanks for all of your help. You do a great job of providing information before and during the vacation and your welcome phone call is a nice touch. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we call you again.

We had a terrific time in your condo, with its great ocean views and awesome grounds. The accommodations were spacious and really allowed us to "chill out." Best part was we didn't have to fight over the TV! Thanks for your hospitality.

We had a wonderful week here staying in your condo. It has such a fantastic view of the ocean as well as the Papakea grounds. My teenage son loved the loft and our girls loved the front bedroom, but my husband and I REALLY loved our room with its beautiful ocean view. We had Thanksgiving dinner here and thanked God for finding your lovely place. It was a perfect vacation - one to be long cherished.
