This was the perfect place for our stay. We went with our 6 and 10 year old kids for our 20th annniversary. We have been to Maui a few times before so we knew what we wanted to do. We are very adventurous and saw so much of the island while we were there. The pool is where my kids unwound every night. We met several other very sweet families there too. We raise chickens and our 6-year-old loves our chickens. So he looooved seeing the chickens roam free at the park next door. And waking up to a rooster crowing is not what we expected, but it sure made us feel right at home. The condo had all the essentials and everything we needed. The items in the locker are beach items that we love to have, but couldn’t bring easily on the plane, so it was nice to have access to them. Jill is an exceptional host and if I could give her more than 5 stars I would. She was very easy to get a hold of and quick to respond. I had emailed her several times, as we booked our trip a year in advance. Even when we got there and my kids put their swimming clothes on within nano seconds, we got to the pool and then realized we needed a code. I text Jill and she responded right away. We are already planning our next trip and we will certainly be looking at Jill’s condo the next time!

What a stunning place to stay! The view from both lanais is unbeatable; we were able to watch the sea turtles! Jill was super gracious and quick to respond when I had questions. We couldn't be happier!

We were overcome with emotion at the beauty of Hawaii! This rental has amazing views of the ocean, the sunset, rainbows etc. Every morning the butterflies and some birds greeted us on the balconies. A few mornings some geckos were sunbathing on the railing. The maintenance of the main property is well kept and the staff on the grounds were very nice. The beach is a 1 minute walk away. We enjoyed the lawn chairs in the mornings and evening. The best thing of all, this place isn’t overcome with people like the larger resorts and its walking distance to many businesses.
On the downside, both the washer and dryer were a joke. Washer left clothes sopping wet and the dryer left our clothes very wet after the 2 1/2 hr dry cycle the note suggested. Also, the 2 left sides of the toaster don’t work and the knives won’t cut through anything. There was also some mold in the shower along the inside edge where you open the shower door. All these things can be remedied easily. We ended up using the paid dryers in the laundry facility.
These things did not take away from our stay and we were sad we didn’t stay longer. We wouldn’t definitely book again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Paki Maui unit! Everything we needed was in walking distance, and though the property didn't have a "swimming beach" on it per se, there was a small beach area right next door and another beach access a 10 min walk from us. We had some issues initially with a wi-fi outage and lock issue, but the property owner was easily reachable and was able to resolve things quickly! We would not hesitate to stay here again if we were in Maui! :)

wonderful property. very well maintained. the extra thought put into the little extras mad all the difference Eg:
surfing and snorkeling and beach equipment; kitchen fully loaded; even a fresh sponge in the kitchen. Books to read. - check all the cabinets - loaded with extras!
The only errors in the listing are as follows but did not diminish from our stay: There is no air conditioning other than ceiling fans and portable fans, but the Tradewinds keep you comfortable. There is no bidet. There was no fee for the parking pass from the building office. the office also has a book exchange. 00

This place was well maintained and very clean. The property was in a great location. We could walk to many things and very short distance to black rock beach. It was the perfect location and size for four adults.

Waking up to the sounds of the ocean and looking out at the sunrise every morning was amazing. Beautiful condo had everything we needed for our vacation. Great park and beach just around the corner as well as a coffee shop and several places to eat within walking distance. Would definitely love to stay here again!

Stay was affordable so it worked for us we were only there to sleep and shower. I’d like to suggest keeping a bed protector on the sofa bed so guests don’t have to see the staining on it. I was mortified when my guest pulled it out to make the bed to sleep and it had a large stain on it.

The view from the room is amazing! We watched turtles swimming in the ocean from our room on multiple afternoons! We enjoyed the sound of the waves crashing all night long. The only complaint was that the room does get very warm in the afternoon when the sun is coming through the window/door.

The views out of both decks were breathtaking. 4th floor location was great as it maximized our view. The kitchen was well stocked and met all of our needs. The place was very clean and recently renovated. The overhead fans kept us cool. Extra box fans in the closets helped us as well. Plenty of parking. On site amenities were also well cared for and easy to use. Property is adjacent to a public beach for easy access. Enjoyed our stay!

This was a great place! My favorite part (aside the affordability) was the lanai which was like being in a rainforest/palm tree oasis! Such peaceful nights with wind chimes! Other great stuff- kitchen everything u need- great towels and shower. Also appreciated having beach towels and chairs there! Ceiling fans all around!! 2 mile walk to black rock for the cliff dive at sunset. Tons of people watch sunset right next door as well at the park!

We had an amazing stay here! Very clean and fully stocked! Jill is a great host! Very kind and personable!!!
The views were the best part! Watched whales , dolphins and lots of turtles right out our balcony morning and night! The kids loved playing the pool/hot tub, while we used BBQ and cooked dinner every night!
The little public beach is a minute walk and we spent many hours there watching turtles, playing in the water, learning to snorkle etc.
We will definitely be back!!!!

This property had everything we need for our stay. Love the little extras beach chairs, beach towels, cooler. This also had a washer and dryer. Place was very clean and even had a little gift for our arrival. I thought this location was good shopping for local made items right across the street and plenty of food options too. Thanks I will be back.

This cozy house was just perfect for our family of 4, it has a beautiful green backyard you can enjoy your breakfast in the morning in the middle of chirping birds, there’s also a coi pond with turtle, our kids enjoyed checking it out .
House is a few steps away from the beach , restaurant, food trucks and shaved ice store.
Kitchen was good size for us to fix some meals, well equipped. Bedroom had drawers enough to store our clothes. Had enough cozy linens.
Overall it was just perfect for our family of 4! Would definitely visit again!

PROS
- Amazing location!!
- Beach directly beside is perfect for families with young kids (breakwater, shallow, warm, trees for shade, bathroom, and a playground)
- Close to restaurants and a short walk to the ABC and Times Market
- Provided beach chairs, towels, a cooler, and sand toys
- Renovated kitchen and master bathroom sinks
- Nicely decorated and there was a large sectional sofa
- In suite washer and dryer and dishwasher
- Provided basic toiletries, kitchen essentials, and supplies for unit
- Nice clean pool and hot tub
CONS
- Last unit close to the road so lots of noise from the street, the garbage chute, and the roosters
- Unit needs a really good deep clean
- The king bed mattress was shaped like a W, with huge dips on either side and a hump in the middle
- Communication from My Perfect Stays was slow or non existent
- The patio doors and screens are way past their due date and would not open/close properly
- There was an infestation of tiny ants in the kitchen
Overall, would stay there again because of the amazing location and amenities for young families, however, a little work needs to be done on the unit.

We had a great time! The place was clean, and there was so much to do nearby. Snorkeling, beaches, shops, coffee, it was fabulous.
The unit smelled like fish when we got there and there were some tiny bugs in the kitchen from time to time.

The location right at the water was amazing! We snorkeled and swam right out front. Comfortable and large master suite, well stocked kitchen, lots of towels, easy parking. This suited our low maintenance family really well. We hope to be back!

We ended up sleeping on the sofa bed because the bed was so uncomfortable. The ceiling fan did not work in the livingroom. There was a noisy, portable fan to use. The freezer had mini ice cube trays. There was packets of cream that were so hard, they could not be used. I would not stay here again.
April 2024
This property was fantastic. The views from the lanai were amazing. We saw whales and turtles every day and the 180° ocean view was stunning. The condo itself was well stocked and very comfortable for 4 adults.

Unit supplied beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and boogie boards which were used daily to extend our beach time. Snorkel rental was across the street as was a farmers market.
Central location between Kapalua and Kaanapali. Pool , hot tub and barbecue complex was nice. Had a nice time.

This condo was the perfect fit for our family’s first trip to the Hawaiian Islands. Everything was so clean, spacious and the views are breathtaking. We had everything we needed for our stay and felt right at home. The location was perfect, not so touristy but also less than 10 min drive in either direction gets you to the resort areas and big beaches.

We rented both units with my 2 adult siblings and their significant others, our mid-70’s parents and my 2 teenage daughters. There was ample space for everyone. The location of the property is absolutely key. We watched whales from our deck and the pool absolutely every day! It was the highlight of the property! The units are well equipped and the owner was responsive and checked in. We had no notable property issues. I’d say there are some aesthetic details that show the building and unit’s age. It is clear that the owner has tried to keep up with maintenance and paint, etc. But the price point on the units is high, as the units age I’m sure an overhaul will eventually be necessary. But they were clean and comfortable and as I said, for us, we were paying for the location and the views. And after 8 days exploring Maui I think this unit has some of the best with decent proximity to Whalers Village and some of the bigger name beaches and restaurants in the area. We loved! our time in Maui!

This ocean-front property has an amazing view and, with the sliding doors open to the patio, we enjoyed the constant sound of the waves. During our two-week stay in February we also saw whales breaching almost every time we looked out at the ocean for more than a couple of minutes. It was clean and well furnished - though it lacks an oven. One of the best take-out fish restaurant's is across the street and nearby are large grocery and drug stores. Also important is that the owners are available and very responsive to questions and problems. I was a bit concerned that it is not air conditioned but found that the breezes from the ocean were more than adequate to keep it cool. The only negative we found was that the washer/dryers cost $2.75 each. We plan to return.

If you want water front, ocean views and whale watching from the lanai and with all the amenities to feel comfortable, this place has it all. Thanks for providing all the things that say welcome, we’re glad you’re here. Next time we need to stay longer! Maholo Amy

Thank you Heather for a wonderful stay! The photos do not lie, you really are that close to the beach and can hear the ocean waves (especially great to fall asleep to at night). The lanai is just fabulous, we ate out there or just sat out there anytime we were in the condo. Towels and linens were provided, more than enough than we even needed. There's a laundry facility on the premise that came in handy. The pool and hot tub were great. The complex was quiet and everyone around was friendly, and Heather was quick to answer any questions we had. The close proximity to shops, restaurants, grocery stores was great. You can really get a sense of the community and the wonderful island of Maui even by staying close to the condo.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Paki Maui resort. The views were beautiful! We saw so many breaching whales and turtles on the shore very close by. The condo had everything you would need including beach gear! The condo was spacious and clean. Our host Jill was excellent. Always got right back to us about anything we asked about. We highly recommend this condo!

The complex and area had that neighborhood feel to it. We stayed for a month and each day it felt like we were returning to home rather than an impersonal hotel room.

The view was spectacular! Watching whales from our lanai was awesome. Relaxing on the lawn next to the ocean was so relaxing. The unit was ok, but needs updating and thorough cleaning. The showers especially need attention. The cookware was not great but we made do. Ice maker doesn’t work. Mahalo for a great stay.

Rooms are side by side with a nice kitchen, spacious living room and plenty of materials In the rooms to make for a convenient stay. it was an easy walk to numerous beaches, several local restaurants and shops that had anything you need, would highly recommend this spot for a family needing multiple units.
