This unit at Papakea was perfect. It has a fabulous ocean view and is well stocked. Our family rented 7 units at Papakea and this unit was voted the best. Our host was helpful and responded quickly to our questions. We had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting again!

This was a great base for exploring West Maui - the unit was clean, had everything needed, and spacious. And the view was fantastic!

There were many things to love about our stay. The property is lovely and perfect for a family. The view from our deck was beautiful. The unit itself was nice. The kitchen had all the amenities for us to cook. The furniture was updated and comfortable. We had one issue with the kitchen sink which was dealt with by maintenance. There are a couple of things that could have been better. First, the bedrooms were very hot, even with the ceiling fans. There was a standing fan in a closet that did not work, which could have helped at least one couple. The ac unit worked but it spit out black debris that we had to sweep up every morning. The location of all the modems sits just below, so I suspect they are filled with it too. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

We absolutely loved G404 at Papakea! We have stayed here before in a different building and Papakea does not disappoint! The condo was clean with very up to date decor. Our kids loved the loft, and we all enjoyed the amazing view! Definitely will be a repeat customer ❤️

Papakea Resort was so much nicer than we anticipated. The people are super friendly. Beautiful property and great location. We felt very comfortable in Connie’s condo. The king size bed was so comfortable! Would definitely stay here again !

This is our 3rd time staying here and we love it. The ocean view is awesome and we saw whales every day. Great location (walking distance to a grocery store and restaurants). The grounds at the Papakea Resort (where the condo is located) are very well kept.

We had a wonderful stay. The property was clean and comfortable. There was snorkel gear and beach chairs, which was super helpful. Loved the location. Walking distance to stores. The only downside to the property was that although the ocean was a couple hundred yards away from the condo, the beach was non-existent. In order to get good beach access, we needed to walk to the adjacent property. It wasn't horrible, but I little bit of a bummer.

Very convenient place to visit attractions and events on West Maui. The condo has everything you need to dine-in if you want but also close to several restaurants, malls and stores. Definitely saw whales from the place and enjoyed having the morning coffee/breakfast while watching and hearing the waves from the lanai. Fortunately, the disastrous Lahaina fire hasn't stopped the community from getting back on its feet and re-opening for locals and visitors. Glad to be a contributor to the recovery by buying local and can't wait to re-visit when Lahaina town re-opens in a few years.

Dana was a pleasure to work with. Property was exactly as advertised with great views and a newly remodeled unit. Many great restaurants and shops nearby along with beaches. A great spot to stay if you visit Maui!!!

The condo is pictured accurately to reflect the home. The view is beautiful. We enjoyed the tennis courts, mini golf, and shuffle board. The pools are nice and the grounds are well kept. There is no beach (which we knew) but we missed that nonetheless. I would say that the furnishings and contents (towels etc) of the condo could use an update/refresh. We were a family of 4 who stayed 11 days. We had to buy basics such as paper products (toilet paper, napkins, and paper towels) because there was a very limited supply which was disappointing and annoying given the overall cost of the stay. I expect to have enough of those items on site to last the length of our visit. There was also nothing extra such as saran wrap, foil, or even salt/pepper, etc...so, plan to buy all of those things at the store. We also would have liked a coffee bean grinder which they did not have although there is plenty of room in the cabinets for such. Overall, we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay, especially the view. However, I would rate this a 3.5 -4 star unit as compared to other places that we have stayed on the Hawaiian islands.

My 6th trip to Maui and this room is the best so far. Its simple, yet offers the best view that I've seen yet. The resort doesn't offer a ton of amenities, but that keeps it less busy and more peaceful. I absolutely loved it! Plenty of shopping, coffee and restaurants in walking distance.

We really enjoyed Bev’s place and all that Papakea Resort had to offer. Stunning to sit on the lanai and watch the waves pound the shore and whales breach in the distance. The kitchen was especially well-appointed. We had to feed 2 hungry teens through going to Costco and the kitchen had everything we needed. One piece of advice I would offer other families interested in renting this peaceful space: It would be more roomy for those with small kids rather than teens. The pullout bed in the living room would accommodate small ones better. And any party over 2 will be charged an extra $10 per person per night, despite the condo being advertised to sleep 4. However, we made the most of it and Bev was wonderful in providing an extra foamie for the floor.

Right on the waterfront. Could hear the waves from everyone in the condo. Spacious and clean. Plenty of beach activity equipment for use in the condo. Parking was easy. Overall great stay Only disappointment was no real beach or snorkeling on the premises. Water was too rough for kids in this location.
Denise L.
January 2024

A very nice place on all fronts. Location is excellent as long as you don't need the beach immediately in front of your place, but the beach was a short and easy walk across the grass and the big beaches start <10 min farther along. The ocean views from the grounds are excellent, whales breaching were common to see, turtles swim by all day, and a seal hauled out on the beach over a few days. The resort is far, far less busy than the big resorts on the main beaches, the people are very friendly and helpful, and the grounds, buildings, and pools were very well maintained. There is good food and groceries within easy walking distance. The bakery at the entrance is a must visit. The close by, 7+ food trucks were very good to excellent. The Unit had everything you need and a reasonable view of the ocean. The bedroom backs onto the walkways and parking area so it may be a bit noisy for light sleepers who don't use the air conditioning. A rental car is useful but not necessary if you are there to enjoy the beach and ocean. The big beaches and big waves can create dangerous beach conditions so prepare yourself to be ready for crashing waves, rip currents, and longshore currents on all the beaches. Enjoy your stay but don't ask the local people about the 2023 summer fires because they are still grieving. You can find other ways to support them. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Loved our stay at this condo, it had plenty of space and was in a beautiful location. Our kids enjoyed the grounds and we were frequently visited by monk seals and even saw a whale swimming by. For the price point it’s is a lovely well kept condo that is perfect for families. Our family of 7 was very comfortable. Thank you!

Two bedroom, two bath condo with wonderful ocean view to enjoy. This is a fourth floor unit with large screens to allow listening to ocean waves at night and birds in the morning. The amenities are all easily available and well maintained. I wish we could have used the pickelball and tennis courts but there was no time. The Maui bus goes right to this location, so you can even get by without a rental. ABC store in on the grounds and they have delicious hot Hawaiian foods and deli items. Great launch point for traveling up and down the west coast. Papakea is a quiet secluded resort with a sea wall but no beach making it quite idyllic.

Condo is in prime location. We found everything as described. You have everything what you need for a wonderful stay in Paradise. Owner was very responsive. We had one minor topic and it was solved immediately. Reception staff of resort is very helpful. Location is great with a coffee right around the corner, food trucks with great local food just next and the beach right in front of the resort. Just perfect.

We had the best Christmas vacation in the condo. The view is everything. Never once did we feel guilty for sitting in the condo because the view was heaven. The daily rainbows and whales breaching were such a delight. Every night we fell asleep to the sound of the waves. The condo itself was awesome. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, washer and dryer was handy, plenty of towels, furniture was well appointed and comfy. Being a family of 5 we managed one bathroom just fine. Just note the loft is open so any early risers would potentially disrupt loft sleepers. The resort grounds are well maintained. You have two pools to choose from and they both are in short distance to the condo. Parking was never an issue. They offered free classes everyday to partake in. BBQ grills are well maintained. You can walk to the food trucks and a lovely cinnamon roll place nearby. Plus many more food choices and the handy ABC store for little convenience items (and good food!!). Airport beach is a 3 minute drive away for some beautiful snorkeling. You can walk but it took 25 minutes. And most importantly Kathryn the host was amazing at communicating and super thorough. Hopefully we make it back!

This unit in Papakea was absolutely beautiful. We traveled with our family (12), eight of us stayed in this unit and we loved it! The view and the sounds of the ocean were incredible. We saw rainbows almost daily, whale watched from the deck and took naps on the patio lounger. Our time spent in Maui was amazing! We did the road to hana loop, enjoyed a sunset dinner cruise on the Pride of Maui and a Christmas Morning Molokini Snorkel with them too.

The condo was clean and well appointed and gives a wonderful first impression. The bed was comfortable as was the living room furniture. The tvs were not working as most of the batteries were missing. This was immediately addressed the next day, but was annoying for the first night. The washing machine needs to be repaired as it is extremely loud. The fan in the bedroom makes a high pitch scream.... my husband looked outside to see if there was an alarm going off outside. And not sure if the bathroom fan was working at all. The Resort is beautiful, but the location of the unit is in a busy area with people walking past and always looking in the window. The lanai had not been swept, nor had the patio table been wiped clean... we did this ourselves. We booked this condo to relax by ourselves after spending 12 nights with friends in the A building. It was disappointing that there were a few things going on in the unit. But it was very comfortable for at least one of the nights.

Four friends and I had an absolutely delightful stay at this wonderful location. The breathtaking view of the beach and pool from our fourth-floor balcony was truly amazing. We enjoyed some great moments playing pickleball using the complimentary equipment and even participated in a refreshing swimercise class, which provided an excellent workout. The location couldn't have been more perfect, allowing us to safely stroll to nearby restaurants and shops. We also explored many of the beautiful sites around the island, including Haleakala, Hana, Iao State Park, and Kahului. Without a doubt, we would love the opportunity to stay here again. Thank you for providing such a fantastic experience!

Janet’s condo is in the perfect location. Saw multiple rainbows, turtle and young seal napping on the beach. Sitting in the lanai every morning, such beautiful ocean views. We walked to Kaanapali restaurants several times during our stay. The condo is the best stocked condo I have ever been in. Her kitchen has everything, you only need to buy food! Her unit will always be our first choice in Maui!

Great location and wonderful resort. The condo has very nice kitchen and bathroom countertops. The beds and linens were excellent. The rest of the condo needs updating. The condo was a bit dirty when we arrived, especially the corners of the rooms. We had a crawling infant and had to wash the floors and clean the corners ourselves. We should have contacted the property manager but chose to clean ourselves. We spent most of our time in the beautiful outdoors so the condition of the condo did not ruin our trip. .

The unit was exactly as pictured except the second bedroom and master bathroom were a tad small. Master bedroom otherwise was spectacular and the shower water pressure was awesome. Kitchen had everything we needed. Loved being able to run to the pool and BBQ at will and no afternoon sun on the lunia was great. Four adults were very comfortable and oh so happy.

The unit is nice inside, we have stayed in some that are dated/worn but L106 was not that way. Tons of towels, and table and chairs on the lanai, sat out there for hours. We had contact from management group, but we had no issues so never needed to have their involvement once we were there.

Terrific location and condo as described. Nice to have incidentals like beach chairs and boogie board available. Beautiful grounds with a very nice pool and huge spa (never crowded). The community area includes a bunch of brand new Weber grills and a covered ocean view dining area with 5-6 tables. Unit is ground floor closest to parking lot. Convenient and we enjoyed coffee outside on the deck each day overlooking the green common area. Peak ocean view from the condo. Very short walk to beach and swimming (5 mins) along the ocean.

The staff are incredibly friendly and the property is well maintained. Our room was just perfect for us. Clean, comfy bed, good appliances, and reliable WiFi!
