My family and I had a great stay in the condo. The ocean was great for snorkling and staying cool. It was a mellow resort and that is just what we were looking for. I will be staying again soon.

This property is absolutely perfect! Jill’s place is located right on the ocean with convenient access to the beach just steps away! Other beaches are just a short 10-15 minute drive in either direction and a pool onsite. Instead of going out to eat, my family decided to cook all of our meals in the condo, giving us more opportunities to do excursions or buy stuff. Communication with the property manager was easy and she answered all of our questions. The property was well stocked and even had beach items for our use. The only negative I have (which is outside of her control) is the roosters! They made noise at all hours and early in the morning! 10/10 recommend this location and this host!

Celebrating graduations in West Maui is the only way. We had a great time. It’s our favorite neighborhood where everything is close and food is delicious. We will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paki Maui. Jill had everything that we needed for our 9 month old including a packable bed with sheets, high chair, pool toys, umbrella and more. The open floor plan was nice as was our two balconies where i frequented several mornings to hear the waves and birds. Also loved the property itself including the lounge chairs on the lawn and the small courtyard with koi pond. We utilized the in home laundry services several times which was SO useful. I highly recommend.

Definitely easy on the wallet, it was extremely spacious and it had boogie boards, pool noodles, snorkel gear, which was available for you to use which we took advantage of. It also came stocked with spices and coffee from previous people which we used to our advantage as well when we cooked.Didn’t have AC but we’d just leave the window by the lanai open which blew plenty of air into the rooms along with the fans. 10/10

We had a wonderful time walking to the beach through the park next door and enjoying the tide pools and seeing turtles swim by and whales breaching. Wonderful farmer's market and badass coffee across the street and food trucks only a few blocks away on the same street. Would love to stay again someday.

The property is literally 2 minutes or less from the beach. There is an ABC mini mart within a 5 minute walk which also has gas at an OK price. There is a state park right next door. The woman who was at the front desk was awesome and very helpful. Jill our condo owner is about as AWESOME as you can get!! There was everything you need for a wonderful stay in her condo, dishes, cookware, even some simple spices!!

Bigger and better than described. Had a great stay. Jill puts a lot of thought and detail in making it a comfortable stay. Corner unit, and the second bedroom is very private and away from master. One minute walk to the common grounds overlooking the ocean. Beautiful!♥️. Thank you Jill.

We had a great stay for our short vacation Maui. The condo was in walking distance to many places to eat and shop. Close to several beaches. Had all of the amenities that we needed for our stay. Very clean and comfortable beds.

Honestly my only critique would be that the kitchen gear could've been better stocked and the cupboards could've been wiped cleaner, but the layout is great. Love the in-suite laundry. Walking distance to groceries at the Times, pool was small but we went to Hawaii for the beaches, not the pool! Large main bedroom, and even though there was no AC, there were plenty of fans to keep us cool. We had family stay at a nearby different condo and they were jealous of ours!

Don’t be put off by comments of road noise. The occasional loud truck or car with thumping music is really no big deal. The ocean is much louder and on 24/7. We enjoyed the chaise lounges on the grass to watch sunsets. Two very clean large bbq’s are available by the pool.
The owner responds immediately to questions. Location is perfect, close to town when needed. Close to great walking and hiking trails. Having a washer and dryer in the condo and a kitchen with all tools needed to prepare all our meals was exactly what we needed.

It's like home. Beautiful sunset and sunrise view from two balconies. Three minutes walk to beautiful beach. The location is close to a super market, ABC convenient store, food truck, coffee shop and restaurant. Free wifi and basic cable TV.

We enjoyed our trip to Maui very much. The condo was cozy and comfortable. Having 2 bathrooms was essential. Close to beaches, downtown Lahaina, attractions, etc. The gentleman manning the desk was very helpful and courteous. Would come back again.

Our family of four had a wonderful stay! The location is great - a short drive to several amazing beaches and close to lots of restaurants, including a couple of good spots for takeout right across the street. The pool on the property was perfect for our family, and all of the beach gear available for use was a great bonus. Jill is a very responsive and helpful host.

Everything from making the reservation, to check-in to check-out went smoothly. Jill is an excellent communicator and was very responsive to my concerns. The condo has everything a visitor needs for their stay , exactly as advertised , no ugly surprises and plenty of room . Our only regret was not being able to stay a bit longer .

This was my first trip to Maui, and my family's first trip to HI ever. This was also my first time renting a condo or a VBRO for a trip. We took our 3 kids, and it was magical. The location of the condo was perfect! We were within walking distance of so many things to do. The pool and hot tub were perfect. There were grills for bar-b-qing, and a beautiful ocean view where we saw black rock crabs, and a sea turtle 3 nights in a row. The beach and playground were next door, with a coffee shop across the street. There were mango & banana trees on the property as well. I will for sure be coming back to stay again in the future.

Nice location with non swimmable beach, good for snorkeling. Condo was large and everything inside was sufficient including kitchen items. Needs new beach chairs though.
Roosters kept waking us up and apartment is very close to the road making it very noisy. We didn’t stay in condo during the day, just basically slept there.
Overall, good accommodation on the budget.

This condo was exactly how it was listed. There were some reviews about noise because of being next to the park and street, however we slept with all the doors open every night and was not bothered once.

The property is right on the beach, so you can go down and put your toes in or do some snorkeling. It is literally 2 minutes from the front door. The room was large enough to handle our family of 6, with 3 adults, and 3 teenage boys. The neighborhood is close to shopping so you can get food or snacks easily, and we felt comfortable in sending our kids out to get it.
Perfect for families. May be a bit noisy for an elderly couple who doesn't want any noise.
Pool and hot tub was clean.
The property manager was always very available to answer questions. We did have an issue with the washer and the on site representative contacted us and helped us within 24 hours.

Enjoyed our stay here, property manager Melvin was SUPER helpful. We had one thing that needed attention and he was on it asap. Only down side, which is small, is there were only 2 dish towels, no hot pads, have to supply own laundry detergent, and little stuff like that wasn't stocked or available to cook with. Once you run out of toilet paper you have to buy your own, which Ive never heard of. But like I said, the small things. Also, no blackout curtains which is really hard with little kids and no AC. We had a great time here and recommend it, just some little things annoying to not have.

Stayed here for 5 day before heading off to HNL , it’s about 40 mins from the airport, parking is plentiful and easy. For unit 229 it easy to walking up the stairs by the dumpster. The location offers a ocean view from the balcony which there are two. The beds and sofa beds where comfortable and the ocean breeze with door open required no AC. I packed a outlet strip which I feel was needed for all the electronics in the bedroom. It’s a vacation stay so only one TV in the living room. The extra stuff for the beach is located in the owner locker room and is great you won’t need anything to buy from Walmart except your suntan lotion.

Condo has everything that is needed. A resort may be more luxurious but if you’re like me, Maui is about being outside. This property checked all of our boxes and will happily stay again.

Condo is right next to fantastic Honokawai beach park. I loved that this park had trees and more shade than most beaches, bathrooms and picnic area. It wasn’t as crowded as some beaches either. The water entry at condo is more of a snorkeling reef entry and it had large sea turtle visitors daily.
The pool was decent size, and included a hot tub and fantastic bbq area with lots of countertop space and an outdoor sink all fully shaded.
The condo itself was a good size, one of the few with two bedrooms AND two bathrooms. We loved the walk in shower in the main bathroom. The master bathroom was an interesting antique style tub and shower with separate shower head from shower wand and bath faucet. That was so very nice after a long day at beach.
The condo was well stocked with tons of beach toys, boogie boards, nice snorkeling sets, chairs, a cooler! It also had a washer and dryer, which was definitely a necessity we used often. This condo also included some spices, oil, cooking condiments etc. which was appreciated. I prefer condos that provide more than just the basic salt and pepper as we tend to cook. Condo was also well stocked with pans, utensils, etc.
As was expected, the condo does not have air conditioning. It appears many do not in Maui. You do get a really nice ocean breeze with the windows open, especially in the evening, but being that it was June, it can get a little stuffy during the day. Mostly we were out and about during the day, so it wasn’t a huge deal for us. They do provide several fans.
For the most part we did not have a car this vacation, so I can safely say this condo is in a location where you can get around on foot if you have to. It’s a short walk to times market, and next to a great beach with snorkeling and turtles in front of the condo. Kaanapali beach, which is a fluffier sand beach with bigger waves, is also right next door, a very short walk away. There is a food truck garden right across from times market, and several other restaurants and interesting bars just down the road.
We came with young kids, and both have decided they would like to move to Hawaii. They didn’t want to leave!
All in all we had a marvelous time and would love to come back some day.

Jill and Gloria,
We had an amazing time in your condo. Thank you very much for making us feel welcomed.
My husband, daughter, son-in-law and I stayed in your beautiful condo. Everything was perfect. We saved alot of money from eating out and barbecued in the gas grills that were located by the pool and at the same time experienced the best sunsets within steps from the ocean. We cooked our hot breakfast in the mornings and enjoyed your cozy balcony. The beds were so comfortable that when we woke up we forgot that we were sleeping elsewhere. It was so convenient having a washer and dryer as well. As far as transportation, it was a smooth ride everywhere we wanted to go, hardly any traffic if you headed North or South to the breathtaking beaches and shops. We even took one whole day and adventured and survived :o) the Road to Hana left by 8:00am and were back by 6:00pm. My daughter and son-in-law even rented bikes and rode to downtown Lahaina from your condo. They also had a blast! It was so convenient not having to take beach towels, snorkel gear and boogie boards. It was so accommodating that we did not want to go home :o(. It felt like home!
Future Renters:
If you are looking for a place that is relaxing, accommodating and meticulous, don't look any further...this is the place to rent for your next get-away :o).

First I want to thank Jill for a wonderful place to celebrate our anniversary. The condo was just as described and was clean and spacious. I loved having the windows and sliders open to enjoy the breezes and the sound of the ocean. The views from the beach were great and sunsets spectacular.
As a resident of Hawaii, we know how important it is to find a location that puts you close enough to the action, but also gives you the space to really enjoy the peace and beauty of the island. Jill's condo gives you both. We headed to Lahaina for dinner most nights but enjoyed breakfast at Java Jazz right down the street from the condo.
The pool at the condo was refreshing after a full day of snorkeling at Honolua Bay as well as a day exploring the Road to Hana. For those unfamiliar with Maui, the tour books in the condo can be helpful when planning the day's activities. It was also nice to have boogie boards and other items for the beach.
We definitely plan to return as soon as possible. Thanks again Jill, we had a wonderful time.
September 2012
We recently visited Jill's condo and I can say I was pleased in every way. It was like being in my own home! There are so many amenities that we didn't have to rent or purchase items like beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. It was wonderful. The location of the condo is convenient and easy to find. I plan to stay there again someday.
August 2012
Our family found the condo just as it was described. It was a wonderful condo that served our every need. We especially liked the central location to some of the best beaches on Maui and proximity to local grocery stores and restaurants. The condo was very clean and comfortable and had every modern amenity you could want, including beach chairs, boogie board and beach towels. The condo complex is right on the ocean and the walk to the ocean front is just a mere seconds. We spent many a night just lounging on the lush lawn watching the remarkable sunset! It truly is a wonderful condo and one we will likely rent in the future on the wonderful island of Maui. Thank you, Jill, for your responsiveness, professionalism and profound courtesy!

Thanks so much Jill for a wonderful stay at your condo in Maui. The extra little touches (shampoo, soap, etc) was such a nice surprise. Everything was fully stocked in the kitchen including spices. My boys loved that there were the boogie boards to use as well as the snorkel gear. Every day we enjoyed the turtles right there as well as many fish you could see right from the beach. We visited the farmers market down the street on a few occasions and loved the fact that there was such a variety of fruits and even bagels. Some of our friends also staying on Maui came to visit for dinner one night and really enjoyed the pool and whirlpool. Everyone was comfortable and remarked on how nice everything was. We will definitely stay again next time we are in Maui. We have even recommended your place to a few friends. Mahalo for the use of your home away from home.

Our stay was excellent. It was just as described, clean and very welcoming. Felt like home after a long day at the beach. When I initially contacted the owner, I was very impressed with the quick response and the information provided. Many of my questions were answered before they were even asked! There were six of us and we were all very comfortable there, especially with the two full bathrooms. Loved the boogie boards, snorkel gear and beach towels that were on hand and available for our use. The weather was beautiful, my husband spent a few nights on the lanai in one of the chairs. It really is just a two minute walk to the beach, beach was pretty quiet while we were there. We took advantage of the bbq pits available in the pool area, where we socialized with other guests and made new friends. We did the Old Lahaina Luau and really enjoyed it. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family. Look forward to renting again on our next trip to Maui.

We had a great time in Maui celebrating our 25th Anniversary with no kids. The Paki Maui #227 condo was nice, clean and spacious: two bedrooms, two full baths, complete kitchen, and comfortable living room. The condo is ideally located for snorkeling, boogie boarding, hiking, and barbecuing, our favorite! When we go back, it will be a great place to stay for all of our family.
We started by renting snorkeling gear right across the street at Boss Frogs for the week. You can snorkel two reefs right in front of Paki Maui or take a short ride north of Kapalua and explore some spectacular reef spots. We can't remember the names of the bays, but you'll see cars parked on the side of the road. We think the names are Napili Bay, Honolua Bay and Kapalua Bay.
When you're snorkeled out, head to Fleming Beach just north of Kapalua for some intense boogie boarding. We had an awesome time riding the waves at Fleming, for they are the best waves in town. This beach has bathrooms and showers. You have to go!
If you have the energy, take a beautiful hike on the Coastal Trail just north of Napili Bay. You'll see beach access parking on the left. The trail meanders along the coast over lava peninsulas and through the Ritz Carlton and Kapalua Resorts. We hiked a vigorous trail in the mountains above Kapalua and the Iao Needle, but the Coastal Trail was the best!
Paki Maui has many food options just a short drive away. The best places were The Sea House at Napili, Leilanis at the Whalers Village, the Plantation House in Kapalua, and the Okazuya Deli across the street. Paki Maui has a nice BBQ area near the pool and beach, too. When you do eat, try to eat near the beach so you can see unbelievable sunsets.
Overall, we had an awesome time in Paki Maui. The owner has made the condo very comfortable and just a great place to stay. Whatever you do, just remember to rest, relax and have fun. We did!
June 2012
I want to just say what a wonderful condo this was for my wife and I. The location was terrific with easy access to fantastic beaches and the best restaurants and grocery stores on the island. Overall, a very pleasant location and one I would highly recommend.
May 2012
We had the opportunity to stay in Jill's condo for just three short days, and wished we could stay for three weeks! The condo was beautiful and clean, just at it was described. We loved the location as we were close to various activities and beautiful beaches. When we get the opportunity to vacation in Hawaii again, we will definitely come back to Jill's condo!
Jill, thank you for your wonderful hospitality. Mahalo!

This is a spacious condo which is VERY well equipped, nicely furnished, clean and comfortable. It even has all the toys for enjoying a day of at the beach, which saved us a lot on renting these. (I had the opportunity to view some other two bedroom condos in Paki Maui while I was there and this one definitely scores better on space. The condos I viewed were quite small - even cramped - in comparison.) The owner was very quick to respond to a query so we knew she was doing her best to make this a wonderful holiday for us. The condo is on a corner of the building: the lanai has glimpses of the sea looking one way and looks on to the road the other way. We did not spend a lot of time on the lanai so road noises did not bother us - not enough to make up for the difference in price that we would have had to pay for one directly overlooking the sea. We did not hear the occupants in the other condos; this is a quiet building with guests respectful of the needs of neighbours. The development itself is well set out with beautiful gardens, pool and hot tub. We enjoyed our holiday here very much and would have no hesitation in returning. We also highly recommend this condo to others looking for a well maintained home from home and an owner with whom it was a delight to do business.
