This was our first time to Maui and this was a wonderful condo with all the amenities we needed! The view was unbelievable! we didn’t have any issues and would stay here again!

This condo is located on the ocean front, convenient to both swimming pool areas, and on the ground floor so you can walk directly out to the seawall. Condo was well equipped and vacation comfortable. We had to reset the Wi-fi router a few times and we had trouble with the TV, but we didn’t make any attempt to seek help with the television, so it is not a negative reflection on the condo. The rebuild in nearby Lahaina is both heartbreaking and inspiring. West Maui is vibrant and there are plenty of dining, shopping, and opportunities for guided excursions in the area. We highly recommend this condo and will stay here again on our next trip to Maui.

Golfing green, shuffleboard, tennis and racketball for when you are not in the water. Extremely friendly staff. Truly a gem!!

My husband and I invited our four grown children to make family memories on Maui. Carol‘s place was amazing! It’s not easy to gather all of your grown children into one place, but it worked out perfectly with plenty of space for everyone and so much to do within walking distance. Everyone had a wonderful time! Thank you, Carol for such a very clean, very well stocked home. We enjoyed every minute. Especially waking up to the waves and the incredible view. A week that will be etched on my heart.

Loved our stay here especially sitting out on the Lanai with my coffee and listening and watching the waves. Enjoyed that it was within walking distance of some restaurants, food trucks and a few shops. Just wish we had more time to explore the area.

Everything we needed! The chairs and other things this condo provides is such a benefit. The room got slightly hot at night but it’s like that most places on the island. We’d stay here again!!!

We had to cancel our reservations. Here’s why:
1. The unit had a major plumbing leak which led to standing sewage water underneath the stove and dishwasher.
2. There was no base at the bottom of the stove which was how we were able to notice the sewage water and leak.
3. There were exposed electrical wires underneath dishwasher sitting lying in the water.
4. Owners claimed to have no idea despite their unit being on the market to sell.
5. Sewage flies all over the room.
6. The smell of the unit was musty and just awful.
Overall, the property is absolutely beautiful. We love it at Papakea and we were so disappointed this happened to us. VRBO did a great job helping us with this issue. The owners do not have a property manager, rather they only have “handymen” which turned out to be a husband and wife. We spent hours on the phone with VRBO, and emailing the resolution team to resolve the issue. The owners finally admitted the kitchen needs to be restored, which should include the kitchen cabinets. We had to find different accommodations and are currently awaiting reimbursement for the night we were still checked in at papakea but had to move.

Incredible stay. The resort is well maintained, access to ocean was easy, room was ground floor which was a huge benefit and pool was steps away. Full kitchen with all amenities we wanted. Already recommending this stay to others. Great central location to Kaanapali, Napili, and Kapalua as well. Have no complaints. Would stay again!

The condo was just as described, super cute, perfect size for our family of 9. The property was beautiful and the view from our balcony was amazing! Only concern was the roach infestation. Roaches on the kitchen counter, in the fridge and bathrooms.

This property is in a great location on the Island and is easy to get in and out of the property to explore everything.
The unit itself was very clean and well maintained but could stand an update and refresh. The view from this unit was spectacular. We had a small issue with key cards not working and there was a repair person there within a few minutes.
The separate facility charges from resort should just be included in the costs - we thought we had everything paid up in advance to find out we had yet another charge.
All in all I would recommend this facility in general to anyone heading to Maui - units are all owned by individuals so you have to look around a bit to find the perfect unit on various sites.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Sondra's unit for our family trip. The apartment is very well equipped and has a superb view. The beach accessories at the unit came in handy for our day outings to the wonderful beaches nearby. I enjoyed sleeping to the sound of the nearby waves. The listing is accurate and I would recommend it 10/10.The resort is very well maintained as well, with very clean pools to get a dip in during the day. Food trucks nearby for an evening meal.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon here and were overly happy with the whole experience. The room was perfect for us two, providing everything we needed and felt very cozy.
Being on the ground floor was a game changer as you just walk out the porch door and you're a few short steps from the gated pool, hot tub, and beach. We saw turtles by the seawall daily, and enjoyed watching the sunset from there each night. The location itself was great to go out and explore Maui and the staff were so friendly. It was always quiet and peaceful.
I will be recommending this place to everyone.

We love Papakea! This unit was as described. It worked very well for 2 couples. Upon arrival I noticed a pile of hair behind the toilet .. it cleaned up quickly with the hand held vacuum - it just should have been caught. ( there is always hair in a bathroom.) as a VRBO owner I know this.
We loved Maui and this unit was great!

We had a great time. Personally we loved the location, the view, everything that was offered such as the pool and jacuzzi. Having the beach within a 2-3 minute walk was a plus for us.
All the beds were very comfortable and the location was perfect. We had everything we needed in less than a 10,min drive. Definitely recommend. The communication was amazing and very accomadating

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in West Maui. This condo is perfection - the view is to die for, the amenities are wonderful, and the location is fabulous (within walking distance to groceries, food truck park, great restaurants and the most heavenly cinnamon rolls!). We spent a lot of time staring at the ocean from the lanai - watching endless turtles swim by, and we also saw lots of dolphins and even a manta ray! Thank you for sharing this piece of paradise with us.

The view from the lanai is breathtaking and relaxing we spent so much time out there. Dana responds immediately if you need anything.
We will be back!

The ocean view from this rental was perfect for us and the grounds/pool were beautifully maintained, but it was being able to see sunsets from the water's edge that was our favorite memory here. The rooms are fairly small, though certainly big enough. The loft wouldn't work for everyone due to the steep narrow steps, but it worked for us. It helped that we all went to bed at the same time and woke nearly at the same time too as it would have been a bit noisy if not. The check in staff were wonderful and everything was clean. The only issue we had was that the air conditioning had been turned off by the previous renters (as instructed by the owner on the check out list) and the unit was SUPER hot upon our 4:00 arrival as the AC was just turned on at 4. We contacted the front desk who contacted the rental company and they responded almonst immediately and sent over a very nice maintenance person to make certain there was nothing wrong with the AC - and to alert us that it would take HOURS to cool off - and it did. Once it was cool, it was a great place. Our suggestion is to have the cleaning crew turn off the AC after each cleaning IF there are no other renters coming in - it just doesn't make sense to us to turn it completely off and then have to re-cool it as all that does is make the next guests very, very hot. Additional maintenance suggestions are to check the dryer - as it didn't dry well - and to tighten the faucet in the upstairs bathroom. Everything else was good.

This unit and Papakea were a perefect setting for us for our vacation on Maui. This was not our first visit to this resort and we are delighted that the grounds and facilities are maintained and updated for our enjoyment. This unit was exactly as described; great ground floor location and very well equipped. We hope to return soon.

Our experience at Papakea Resort was magical, the property and condo were exquisite, the employees treated us with kindness and joy making check in very nice. Our one bedroom ocean front condo was just perfect.Honestly, we could not have had a better experience. Everything in our condo was clean, fresh and updated. The furniture, dinnerware, flatware, pots/pans, containers, glasses;everything was high end. The bed was so comfortable and the condo was decorated beautifully. The AC did a wonderful job and we were provided a floor fan that wasn’t even needed. It’s like the owners have anticipated every single need, want and wish anyone might have! We were provided the best soap, shampoo, condi, hairdryer, laundry and dishwasher tabs, paper towels, toilet paper, and so much more! The linens, towels, beach towels were fresh, clean and new. There were beach chairs , beach umbrella, a cooler, boogie board, golf putter and golf balls, there was suntan lotion and spf. There were two pair of binoculars and a laminated guide of all the fish you might see if snorkeling or diving. The ice maker made plenty of ice. They provide a Keurig and 12 cup coffee pot, toaster, blender, juicer, built in microwave, everything anyone could want and more.The balcony was my favorite spot where I watched sea turtles swim by all day! Papakea Resort has wonderful tables, chairs and lounge chairs set right in front of the beach. Perfect for tanning, watching the sunset every day. The beach is rig

My family was fortunate to pull together all my six children, 10 of my 11 grandchildren, my former wife, my current wife, a mother-in-law, three husbands of my daughters, and three significant others. We were able to get a local photographer to take pictures of us at a local beach. We toured and ate out at a lot of popular restaurants. At night time, we had putting contests. I used the barbecue to cook several meals, also. We have lots of memories to share.
