Perfect spot in Maui!

We loved our place and our view! The location in Maui was perfect for us as well as the location of our place on the property. Close enough to get to everything yet we felt “tucked away” in our more private space.

Look no further! If you want to be steps from the Ocean everyday in a beautiful setting this is for you. We saw humpback whales every day from our living room. Walking distance to stores, restaurants, beaches.

Loved the view and location of condo. Great condo and neighborhood. Large number of insects everywhere in the unit, especially in the bathroom and kitchen. The insects were generally peaceful. Only got bit when once while I was sleeping. I recommend fumigating.

Wonderful Anniversary Vacation

This was our 10 year anniversary celebration, and the location did not disappoint! It was everything we had hoped for and more! Our condo opened right onto the ocean, and the location for our excursions could not have been more perfect! We highly recommend for any couple!

Perfect stay as expected

This was our second time in L107 and had previously stayed in a unit two doors down. We love the Papa Kea and it's only gotten better. The check-in process had been slightly cumbersome in the past but it's dialed in now, absolute piece of cake. All communication was quick, efficient, and accurate. The unit has had some updates (e.g. sliding doors) is in great shape. Great vacation! Mahalo!

Love this place but ask questions before booking

The pros: Papakea is a very well maintained resort with excellent amenities usually only available in higher end resorts. In this unit, the kitchen and bathroom have been updated with granite, new appliances and a nicely done glass shower. The location couldn't be better. The Lanai is 50 feet from the water. There was plenty of whale action and beautiful grounds to enjoy. Gas tiki torches light up the resort at night giving off a magical vibe. We called the management company on Super Bowl Sunday to report on three items needing attention. To our surprise, a handy man arrived before kickoff and had 2 of 3 fixed in about an hour. The unfixable was the dishwasher soap compartment which is missing a spring and hence, doesn't open. The part is currently unavailabe. Great service on the property! The cons: I booked and paid in full, then submitted questions through the booking site. I never heard back. I finally called VRBO, to be informed the property has another level of management, Maui Dreams Come True. I called them twice before they called me back. The woman who called me said VRBO doesn't forward messages since Expedia bought them. She answered all my questions but I would prefer service recovery over blame shifting. Summary: I wouldn't hesitate to rent this unit in this resort again. However, I wish I had known about the horrible communication style and existence of the intermediary management company.

A+ condo and resort

My husband and I agree that this has been the best condo we have ever stayed in Maui. The oceanfront location was such a treat as we were able to eat our breakfast on the lanai and have a front row seat to the whale show right in front of us. We would wind down the day with cocktails on the lanai while watching the sunset. We were able to snap many gorgeous pictures. The condo was very comfortable and tastefully updated, comfy bed and well stocked kitchen. The Papakea Resort is beautifully landscaped, with lots of amenities and 2 heated pools. We will be back!

My only issue with they property was there was a rodent in the condo. The property manager was very good about trying to remedy the situation but to no avail. Was unable to feel very good about using kitchen. The condo was very nice and location was awesome.

Aloha Joanne I thank you for your understanding of this first time situation in 20yrs. We were able to determine that a vent on the building roof was compromised during recent heavy storms as well as the normal rodent deterrents and traps around the outside of buildings on the property. These items were remedied and rodent issue you experienced was resolved. Mahalo Misty Earnest, Manager Maui Dreams Come True

Lovely condo with a beautiful view!

Our favorite part was the view from the living area and patio. It's amazing to look right at the ocean, especially for sunsets. The condo was very clean and had nearly everything we needed. There is a washer/dryer. Would have been nice to have a detergent starter available but there is a store just down the street with travel detergent and fabric softener available. Dishwashing detergent was missing and they request you start the dishes upon check out so was not able to. Otherwise well stocked, especially the kitchen. We did not recieve a check in email so did not have the information, however check in at registration was very easy and fast. The pool is lovely and lots of BBQs available. The only slight disappointment was not having a swimmable beach directly in front of condos. In the pictures it seems as though there is the beach right in front but there's a seawall and all rocks below. Still gorgeous and the condo next door has a nice beach just a short walk away. The pool, beach, and parking (unless you are not back until after 8pm then a walk) are all very close to this condo. Great location! Walkable to shopping, grocery, and food. We loved our stay and recommend for couples or small families.

Great location with beautiful scenery of ocean

We got an excellent condo with everything we needed, just like being at home. Only thing we didn’t like was the 4pm checking specially when our airline changed our departure twice making our arrival to Maui at 9:30 am wich meant we had a lot of time to kill because Papakea Resort wouldn’t let us check in early even though I called two weeks ahead to explain our situation with airline.

Waking to waves

Nice, clean and well stocked. The pullout bed is a little finicky and the bathroom fan was out but overall pretty good unit. And you cant beat waking up to a view of the ocean waves.

Location was amazing and that's why we rented here. Condo lacked some basic things like a can opener, any laundry detergent at all ( was told one wash would have been included), sheets weren't the newest, feet were dirty first night walking around on the tile...it was just a bit tired. Will stay somewhere else next time.

Aloha We would have gladly addressed any broken/missing can opener, depleted laundry soap questionable sheets and tilefloor cleaning immediately if we were contacted during your stay to make your stay more enjoyable. We would have greatly liked an opportunity to make right of the items you mentioned. We strive for perfection and we appreciate the feedback and will look into these items promptly to make sure all is taken care of for the next arrival. Mahalo

Amazing Location

This was the perfect place to stay. Right on the ground floor overlooking the ocean. Waking up every morning to the view was just beyond amazing. Lots of places to walk to or just kick back and relax. My only disappointment was the holes in the sheets and stains on the towels. Everything was clean but these little things could certainly be a turn off to most folks. I meant to tell staff that the directions to this place were incorrect. It told us to take 30 North when you should be taking 30 South (from the airport). We came in at night and could have certain been stuck on impassible roads had we not figured out that we were going the wrong direction. I will certainly come back to this cute unit. Loved it!!

Aloha Kitty Thank you for letting us know of the directions, there has been alot of roadway changes from the airport to Lahaina over the past year and we will update. As for the Sheets and Towels, we do have an outside linen service and had we been made aware of any imperfections we gladly replaced immediately. We do hope to have you for a future stay and appreciate your review and feedback. Mahalo Misty Earnest, Manager Maui Dreams Come True

Clean condo, great location, sunset views!

Overall had a great stay at the property! Pros: excellent location in proximity to beaches food and activities. Clean condo with washer and dryer (small w/d). Has fully stocked kitchen. Check the cabinets behind the mirror when you check in as guests leave unused/unfinished items when they depart so you may not need to buy extra supplies. Very Short walk to beach sandy access (condo is next to brick sea wall with no access directly in front of it but great view). Has everything you really need for your stay without a lot of frills. Cons: the “upgraded air conditioning” is still not great. Took a long time to cool the condo down when checking in, and there is no a/c in the bedroom, even when sleeping with the door open it was too warm for us to sleep in complete comfort. Maybe a fan would help to blow cool air down the hall to the bedroom. Also unit boasts it is “fully upgraded” while it has new kitchen appliances and countertops the unit’s furniture, decor and some fixtures still seemed dated. Also when the paperwork says “absolutely no early check in”, they mean it. We tried to check in 20 min early and were told no and had to wait until 4pm exactly. My only major complaint was the warm bedroom. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

the perfect place

Our stay at the papakea was amazing. this was our first time back in ten years. We brought our two kids with us as well. the papakea had everything we needed. The papapkea had a pool along with beachside access. Very short walking distance to the grocery store and shopping. Our unit was stocked with everything we needed to cook along with a washer/dryer and plenty of towels. We will definitely be staying at the papakea for our next hawaiian vacation.

Very nice condo, lovely location and great view!

We stayed 4 nights in this condo and it is a great place to stay. The view from the lanai was beautiful. We didn't cook but it seemed like the kitchen was well stocked in case you want to. The king sized bed was really comfortable and the unit had everything we needed. The front desk was very friendly and helpful as well. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
