Papakea is very well maintained. Loved the views and really going to miss the morning coffee watching the sunrise. Grand Kids loved the pools and grassy play areas. We enjoyed many evenings on the grass watching the sunsets. Snorkeling was awesome we actually saw about 5 turtles. We have already planned our 2024 trip. Anna the host was great to work with.

The view from the balcony is amazing! It’s the best part of the condo for sure. My family loved snorkeling out front but said everywhere there snorkeled on the island was different, and they loved it all. We had a great family week in Maui and were very pleased with the location of this condo. It is within walking distance to many food options and shopping. We had 8 in our group and we were all comfortable staying here. The only problem we had was upon check-in, I did not have a door code, which the owner thought they had sent to me, so our check-in was delayed by 30-45 minutes while I tried to contact the owner. Make sure you have the email with your code before you arrive at the resort. Other than that, we had the trip of a lifetime and created memories we will cherish forever.

We really enjoyed this property, the resort, and the location. My wife and I stayed here with another couple and we were supposed to have two others stay with us (but they dropped out). We had more than enough room for 4 people and it would've been fine for 6+ as well. We enjoyed the beach access and beautiful views of the ocean, islands, and sunset. We used the snorkel equipment and got to swim with sea turtles right in front of the resort! Definitely a highlight of our trip. The space was clean and had everything we needed. Walking distance to a convenience store which is nice for picking up beverages, snacks, ice, etc. Would recommend booking here.

Our whole family (6 adults, 2 teens, 1 baby) all fit comfortably in this condo. We had everything we needed (inc. baby equipment), were close to all activities and enjoyed the ocean & the pool here. Unfortunately the elevator didn’t work the last two days here so we had to push out teens into carrying up & down. It was a good vacation.

The view from the lanai did not disappoint! We were able to see whales in the distance, as well as a monk seal and ray playing in the waters right beneath us. The condo can use some upgrades/updates but we knew what to expect from the pictures. The location is an easy walk to the ABC Store, Times Supermarket, BadAss Coffee and other eateries and services. Check in/out was a breeze.

Thoroughly enjoyed our week with family of nine. Plenty of everything for our use. Beach chairs great. Amazing view from lanai - the whales performed!!!

An oceanfront experience... you can watch whales and hear/see the surf from the porch balcony. Everything you need for a comfortable stay including some beach gear and beach towels. A lot of green grass to sit on and watch the ocean, and small sandy beach areas nearby.

The property itself and the unit were perfect for our family. Clean, open, airy, right on the beach. Good snorkeling! First time the teens had ever been in an ocean that was warm! Great location for sightseeing and checking out other beaches. Owners were prompt and thoughtful when we had a problem with the ice maker. Would definitely rent the unit again. It was the perfect place to start our vacation! Thank you Anna and Steve! Mahalo!

Amazing view. Worked just fine for our family of 6. Some things were a little outdated but that didn’t bother us. Owners were amazing to work with as our flight was canceled and put us a day behind. Would stay again for sure.

Excellent place to stay. Owners are very nice, communicative and flexible. It is absolutely beautifully decorated, very spacious, incredible ocean views (sunsets are amazing) and a great location. You feel very safe too. 5 stars for sure!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay especially sitting on the deck watching the whales. Host was most helpful in accommodating us with a later check out.

The facilities were nice and the grounds were beautiful! Our view was spectacular, too. We loved hearing the waves all night long. We enjoyed the use of the InstantPot because we had a large group. But there was not enough seating for 11 people without sitting at the couch and using the coffee table.
A few things need help. When we called about a leaking shower head in the master and a shower door that was not right, it wasn't promptly fixed. That was frustrating. The queen bed upstairs was very uncomfortable. A new mattress is needed. The buttons are upfront on the stove and are easily turned on just by bumping them. They were accidentally turned on 3 times. That was dangerous! Speaking of the stove, one drawer wouldn't open all the way because the oven door was in the way. We were charged an air conditioning fee for an air conditioner we couldn't use. It was mounted too high and impossible to control. The pool was a little chilly, too. We were also charged an extra tax even after we paid IN FULL our entire condo fee.

Unit was WONDERFUL for the whale watching season. Spent lots of time on patio. The 2 bedroom and a loft worked for our family. All 3 of the bathrooms are in need of a remodel, plumbing problems should be fixed between guests. We made the best of the situation.

This condo was the perfect place to stay for whale watching!! We loved waking up each morning and eating breakfast on the lanai while watching whales breach. As the description states, it is a tight fit for a big group, but a cost effective way to vacation in Maui. The owner was great to work with, especially during the pandemic. The only thing we noticed with the condo that wasn’t fully functioning was the spray nozzle in the master shower was broken. The main shower head worked great! I doubt the owners even knew about it. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location! Relaxing and fun! We enjoyed the views of the ocean from the porch. The condo had plenty of sleeping options. The kitchen had all the necessary tools and appliances.

Our family had an amazing time at this lovely home! Waking up to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore was relaxing and soothing. The apartment was everything we needed it to be. We had a fairly large group, but managed to all find our own space. The grounds are nice and my kids loved the pool. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect property to visit Maui. It is nicely located in a fantastic area. The ocean is only a few steps away. There is access to the water, but not a ton of beach.

Enjoyed the stay very much, it was a very beautiful condo and ocean-side setting. View of the ocean and beyond was outstanding. Was a little surprised that the loft was counted as a bedroom, because we had to bed 4 adults (2 couples) there. From the description we expected 3 bedrooms plus the loft.
