First of all, the property was wonderful with a great location! Phenomenal ocean view and right above the pool which was great for my kids. The property manager was very easy to communicate with and extremely helpful. The condo was a good size with plenty of space. Very clean and great water pressure in showers. Walkout to the ocean and just down the road from several beaches, restaurants and stores. Overall very pleased!

This was our family’s first time in Maui, but it definitely won’t be our last. This location was perfect for us. Lots of fun, water sports, golf, and fine dining all close by. Kanapali beach close by had lots of great activities for the family, including some cliff diving for my more adventurous kid. The views from the deck of this condo are like a postcard, especially at sunset. With a view of the pool, we were also able to watch the kids swim and play shuffleboard. We also played pickleball ball and cornhole all on site. I can’t say enough good things about our time a Papakea. Thanks Carol.

Our stay was wonderful! And the property was perfect! Our family of four, with two teenage daughters, traveled in early July to celebrate our oldest graduating high school. Each of our daughters brought a friend. All of us enjoyed ourselves! The property had private spaces for each pair and fit the six of us just fine. Not only was the resort beautiful, it had so much to do! From swimming, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, corn hole, and plenty of grass areas for walking, to a convenience store immediately off grounds, you’re sure to find something to do! The property owner was not only communicative, but very accommodating! The unit’s a/c worked nicely, offered multiple smart TVs for watching shows late at night, & wifi to stay connected as needed. A wide variety of Food trucks are also just off the grounds which was super convenient! There were plenty of towels in the unit, chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and a washer/dryer as well. View from balcony facing the swimming pool & ocean! Perfect for sipping your morning coffee or evening drink! We really had zero complaints! We would definitely book again! Papakea was lovely & K404 won’t disappoint!

My family and I just spent 10 days in this wonderful condo. Everything was just as listed. The condo was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The AC in the bedrooms and living area was cold and made our stay very comfortable.The grounds at Papakea are so well manicured and perfect for every families needs. Carol was easy to reach from beginning to end and made sure to check in with us during our stay. We will definitely be back!

This was my third time to Maui but first time to Papakea and it did not disappoint. I came with my husband, two kids and mother in law - we had plenty of room to sleep and spread out in this unit. The view from this condo is absolutely breathtaking - morning, day and night. Since Hawaii with children means daily breaks and downtime in between the ocean, pool and adventures, this condo was the perfect place to stay. Why? Because we got to soak in the island vibes and relax while in the kitchen, living room and lanai. We had that Hawaii feel 24 hours a day - priceless! Papakea is very kid and family friendly with two pools, two hot tubs, two koi fish ponds, put put golfing, tennis, shuffleboard, corn hole and more. The property is beautifully situated and landscaped and walking distance to lots of amenities including groceries, coffee, food trucks, a park, shaved ice, restaurants and more. Condo owner Carol was very communicative and helpful and made booking and staying an easy process. We would ABSOLUTELY book her place again and hope to in the near future!! Mahalo!

My daughter and I truly enjoyed this wonderful property. Everything was so convenient and close we were able to walk to restaurants grocery store and everything that we needed. The view off the balcony and in the master bedroom is truly amazing. We were able to see some whales right off of the balcony. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the unit was stocked very well. We could not have asked for more.

Had a great time using Carol’s condo for a week. Was very comfortable for 6 of us, including two kids. Great resort. Clean, quiet but many fun activities. Good location. Beaches within easy walking distance. Great pools. Condo had everything we needed and was very clean. Great communication. Thanks!

We spent 10 days at Papakea resort. Had a great view of the ocean and pool area from our patio. We walked to the nearby beach to watch the sunsets. Beds were comfortable. Unit was super clean. Beach trails and restaurants nearby - within walking distance. Some activities at the resort for the kids (shuffleboard, putt putt golf, pickleball).

We’ve stayed in 7 different condos on Maui so far and this was by far our favorite! It was stocked with everything we needed, had very spacious rooms and great AC, amazing WiFi, and the a heated pool (the kids swam in it every morning and every night because it would glow at night!!) we loved this property and Carol was very quick to respond if we had any questions!

Our stay at the Papakea Penthouse in Maui was spectacular! The breathtaking view of the ocean from the condo (especially the primary guest room and the main living area!) created a serene and memorable experience for our whole family. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves added a touch of paradise to each day. The location was perfect, being next to a store for essentials and only a couple of short blocks from a variety of restaurants offering excellent dining options (and food trucks!). The overall ambiance, attention to detail, and thoughtful amenities made our stay truly wonderful. There were many beach chairs, and even coolers were an excellent added touch. We would unquestionably choose to stay at this property again for its perfect blend of relaxation and convenience, not to mention that the owner and resort managers were accommodating and helpful! We can't wait to go back!

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.

From the moment I booked, Carol was in contact with me. She was extremely helpful and her communication was excellent. The check-in process was easy. The view of the pool and ocean was spectacular. Her condo accommodated my family very easily. The unit was exceptionally clean. There were ample bathroom and beach towels for our use. The air conditioning worked very well. It kept each room cool and comfortable. I would definitely rent her condo again in the future!

We had a wonderful week at Carol's condo. She helped me keep my husband's 75th birthday surprise by communicating directly with me. Both my husband, myself and your 2 adult daughters loved the condo-great view-overlooking the pool, the ocean and the island of Molokai, location-beaches, stores, restaurants, food trucks, snorkeling and close to both Kapalua and Kaanapali, and amenities-beach chairs, coolers, outdoor grills at the pool, Koi pond, walking path, cabana with tables and chairs, outdoor showers, Pickleball, and even a putting green!. Carol was a wealth of information. This was our 3rd stay on Maui and definitely our best!

This condo was perfect for our family of 5. Very spacious and CLEAN. My daughter especially liked the loft area which gave her some space. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. Everything you need to cook a meal is in their well stocked kitchen, or if not up for cooking there is a food truck area within walking distance that undoubtedly will have something for everyone.
Plenty of chairs by the pool and grass area overlooking the ocean. The pool was sparkling clean as well.
We found the beach chairs and umbrella came in handy to take on our snorkeling outings.
We would absolutely stay here again.

The ocean view from the fourth floor condo on Maui's northwest side was wonderful. The property was quiet on well manicured grounds and provided many fun activities. The condo was very clean and comfortable and provided everything we needed, plus additional items (beach chairs, beach towels) we didn't expect. This home was near many of the things we wanted to do (snorkel, swim in the ocean, relax on the beach, attend a luau, hike in the mountains, eat at good restaurants). Carol was very helpful in suggesting activities and places to see, and was very prompt in answering any questions I had. We had a wonderful time here and would definitely stay again when in Maui.

Location, was perfection. Walkable to lovely restaurants, fun truck eateries, sandy beach and delicious coffee. The condo was well supplied, clean with a view of the ocean, the sounds rocked us to sleep. Our family was comfortable, ate and enjoyed our time together. We embraced the pool, yoga and water exercises offered. The host Carol was an excellent resource of Maui activities. Mahalo, we thank you!

The condo could not have been any better! It housed our family of six, five adults and a 5-year-old perfectly. It was just as described, perfectly appointed, clean, excellent view of property and ocean. The communication with the owner made it even more special. Carol provided us with a list of restaurants, things to do and many other helpful hints way ahead of time so we could plan our vacation appropriately. If and when we return to Maui, we will definitely be contacting Carol to stay in this beautiful condo.

We loved our 13 day stay in this condo. The property is beautiful. The condo has a fabulous view of the ocean, and it was both peaceful and restful. We enjoyed exploring Maui, but we also really enjoyed staying on the property, sitting by the ocean or swimming in the pool. We would love to stay here again on our next visit!

We spent the week of March 18th to the 25th and the accommodations were perfect for our group of 6 which consisted of two couples and my elderly mother and aunt.
This unit overlooks the pool and far exceeded our expectations! It’s well stocked with just about anything you’ll need while you visit, including plenty of extra towels in both bathrooms and a pillow menu that can be found in the master closet. There were beach chairs for everyone an umbrella, boogie boards and ice chests to borrow.
Best of all, the view is amazing! You’ll have clear, unobstructed views of the ocean from the balcony and master. Each night we opened the windows and slept listening to the waves. Another plus is that it’s within walking distance to ABC Stores where they have a full kitchen and you can order up hot food all day, a grocery store, restaurants and beach.
Carol is an amazing host and was available anytime should we have questions prior to arrival and checked in with me the day after to make sure everything was going well.
I would definitely stay again and hope to! I would recommend K404 at the Papakea Resort to all my friends and family.

Carol’s property is one of the best we’ve ever stayed at. Hope to return. It has breathtaking views and has amazing grounds on the property. Very well kept. We enjoyed our morning coffee and breakfast on the lanai watching the whales surface and breach. Within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Poolside lanai & and grills were a great addition we shared with family and friends. This is definitely one for the memories.💕

Out vacation stay at Carol's property was fantastic! The condo is in a great central location to many activities on the island. It has a beautiful ocean and pool view. It is well equipped with everything we needed for our stay including beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, coolers, etc. The property is very clean, quiet and spacious. The kitchen is equipped with everything we needed for cooking our own meals. The in unit washer and dryer were great. We came as a family of 6, with kids ages 11-20. With three bedrooms there was plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably. The grounds of the property were beautiful. There are 2 pools and hot tubs, a putting green, and tennis and pickleball courts. So much fun for everyone. We hope to return some day!

Stayed at Carol's Papakea condo over Thanksgiving. The place was super nice and clean, had everything our family of 4 needed. The place is right on the water and super close to so much going on along the west coast - it is a great home base for exploring the island. Carol is very responsive and accommodating. The property manager was also super responsive and friendly. We had a small electrical issue while we were there, and they responded immediately after we notified them and took care of the issue super quickly - it defintiely felt like a priority.

We were very pleased with this property. It was a great location for our activities. The view was fabulous. The amenities provided for the beach were much appreciated.

Would highly recommend staying here.

The view from this unit was amazing! Everything we needed was at our fingertips. The unit is well maintained and comfortable. Carol was fantastic and has extra infemation in the unit that we found helpful, like restaurant suggestions, etc. don’t let online information about beach access deter you. It is literally steps away. Excellent snorkeling very close by. Cannot say enough about this excellent t property.

This is our second time back to Papakea and it was just as amazing as the first time we went. We have 6 total guest in the condo and we all slept so perfectly and everyone was so please with how comfy the beds were! We had everything we needed from beach chairs, coolers, floaty noodles, towels, etc. for the beach. The kitchen was well equipped as well for the times we decided to cook in. Carol sent us messages through out the week to make sure we were doing great and we appreciated this so much. We will definitely be back to Maui and contacting Carol to rent her property again!
Aloha!

We had a wonderful family vacation at Carol's condo. The view of the ocean from the balcony was beautiful. It was really nice to be able to eat our breakfast and a couple of dinners on the balcony. Carol was a supurb host. She thought of everything to make the say comfortable and easy - most appreciated were the beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, pool noodles, and an ample supply of necessities (so often not provided by some hosts). We did not have to run to the store immediately after our long flight and jet lag to pick up TP and soap. Thank you for your consideration, Carol!
The condo itself is beautiful, sunny, well appointed, and on a great property. Plenty of room for the family to spread out. We enjoyed nightly sunsets on the lawn overlooking the ocean, poolside bar-b-que, the lovely heated pool, and immaculate grounds. So much to see on Maui, and Carol provided a thorough list of nice beaches, sights, and activities, as well as some useful guide books. Our adult children especially enjoyed snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, and kite surfing. Food trucks nearby were convenient on two nights when we got back late from sightseeing/activities and it was too late to cook or wait at a restaurant.
Pack warm clothes for sunset at Haleakala. It is worth seeing!
Would stay here again if returning to Maui! Thanks, Carol!

Wow! Where do I begin? This condo was truly the highlight to our Maui trip. The view to the living room was out if this world beautiful. Almost like a postcard. Carol, the host, was ahhhmazing, helpful, responsive, attentive, and very friendly! Everything in the condo was super clean. I'm talking every dish was clean, every sheet and towel was clean. I never questioned anything there...and let me tell ya, I'm a hawk when it comes to things like that. 100% Great location and if you're worried about a beach not being there, dont you worry because its walking distance from your room. Last but not least, there is A/C and it works great!
Thanks Carol for a fantastic vacation.

This unit was so well-maintained and beautiful, plus it had everything we needed for an enjoyable vacation., plus a wonderful view from the lanai. There were beach chairs and beach towels, laundry and dish detergent. The grounds and pool were immaculately maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The unit owner provided suggestions for dining and activities and seemed genuinely interested in us having a good time. We are already figuring out when we can come again.

This spacious condo with a beautiful top floor view is perfect for a nicer family vacation. Quiet, clean and comfortable to relax in with a superb balcony for enjoying a meal. Pool is nice and fun beach is a few steps away. We floated on boogie boards using the gear in the condo and just walking to the beach to the left. Very convenient location that provides easy options for eating out or cooking in. Lahaina is a very short drive for shave ice and surf lessons. The beach walkway to kanapali is also close and easily accessible on foot from here. Unlike other condos, we also liked having the front lobby staff to help us book activities and provide other advice. Highly recommended if you want a mix of quietude and convenient location to do other things. Carol is also highly responsive if any issues arise in the unit.
Christopher B.
July 2022
My family and I stayed at this property in June 2022. The location is ideal for beach use and dining options. Short drive to Lahaina for shopping and dining on Front St. The unit is well appointed and has all kitchen needs covered, even chip clips.
About a 40 min drive from the airport. If arriving after dark, the drive from the airport is a bit winding. Not "Road to Hana" winding but still needs focus when driving.
The Master Bedroom gets the morning sun, so it can get a bit bright early in the morning (6:30a). It is a small thing though. Overall, we had a wonderful visit.

Our stay at Carol's Papakea home was amazing! The property is gorgeous, so well maintained and Carol's home had everything we needed for our week long stay; beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, a well stocked kitchen, mini split air units and fans. The loft is very spacious and the master a great size with a beautiful ocean view. Lovely short walk to the sand and the pool, shuffle board, mini golf and gas grills. We loved sitting on the deck in the mornings with coffee and sunsets on the grassy area in front of the property. Great for families and in the perfect location to beaches, snorkeling and shopping. We didn't want to leave!

Our family loved spending a portion of our vacation in Maui. The home in Papekea was wonderful. It was close to everything, yet quiet enough to get away from the busy crowds. Carol, the owner was a splendid communicator, and one could tell that she takes pride in hostessing. The view from the lanai was gorgeous.
This is a wonderful place for families of all ages to stay as there are separate areas.
Mahalo Carol for your generosity

Wonderful condo - clean, lots of room, amazing balcony view of ocean and pool/grounds, kitchen had what we needed, appliances newer and worked well. Carol was an amazing host and was so wonderful when I had questions about things in the area. Appreciated her concern for our well-being and satisfaction. Loved having the beach chairs, boogie boards and coolers. Location was great. Grounds beautiful and pool great! Wish we had more time but hope to come again.

Our visit was amazing and Carol was so helpful with everything. The condo is beautiful, location is great and I was so impressed with the cleanliness of the property.

My girlfriend and I and my mom brought my 3 kids (ages 13, 10, and 6) to Maui for spring break. We were delighted when we arrived at Carol’s place. Her description was accurate but doesn’t quite do it justice. The view is spectacular, the rooms are spacious and the condo is well-equipped with all of the amenities of home. I’ve stayed in numerous VRBO and other rental setups and Carol’s upgrades and house amenities are among the best I’ve experienced. The AC units are very effective and no matter what others say, I think the ACs are a requirement…Carol’s place is well equipped.
Carol also has 5 beach chairs, other folding chairs, boogie boards and travel coolers, along with some float noodles. The pool and shuffle board are great and so is the putting green. We saw some fantastic sunsets and whales too. Supermarket, snorkel rentals, coffee shops, ABC stores are all within a short walking distance as are several beaches.
You can’t go wrong here, highly, highly recommend! Thank you again Carol.
March 2022
This was our first time staying in this area of Maui, but could not have picked a better place! The condo is exactly as advertised with amazing views, great pools and other fun activities! Carol was great to work with, providing helpful information before our departure, insights and suggestions to local activities and quick response to questions while were were there. The complex is beautifully maintained and only a short walk from food carts, shopping, beaches and minutes from Lahaina. It had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation and already looking into returning soon!!

This was our second trip to Maui and was everything we hoped for. First, Carol is an absolutely fantastic host. She provides detailed recommendations for restaurants, activities, locations, etc with contact info AND her own personal experience and "local knowledge." This was really helpful in determining activities and restaurants but also how to be sure we get what we want by doing what the locals do. We loved the personal touch. Additionally, she provided detailed check-in/wifi/need to know info, checked in, made sure we had everything we needed, and even pleasantly accommodated a request outside of the norm with no hassle! Carol is wonderful.
Second, the condo was comfortable, had an amazing view, easily accommodated our group of 5 (3 adults, 2 kids) and could have accommodated a few more. The beds were comfy, we had plenty of towels, and it was fully stocked with cookware and beach chairs, coolers, pool noodles, boogie boards, etc. Everything we needed. Additionally, the room has a full view of the ocean and we enjoyed our lunches and dinners on the lanai while soaking in the trade winds and watching whales breech in the distance.
Third, the property is gorgeous and in a great location. The pool was great (we couldn't get my kids out of it), hot tub was toasty, and everything was immaculate and clean (we watched the staff clean it every morning!). There is a putting course, tennis and pickle ball courts, and other activities. Finally, the location is ideal. Easily walkable to a grocery store, several restaurants, coffee shop, snorkel shop, giant food truck "village", and beach access. It's easily driveable to Kaanapali beach, Napili bay, Kapalua bay, Lahaina, and others. Nothing was more than a 5-15 min drive.
All in all, everything was well above 5 stars and we've already inquired about staying again next year. Don't hesitate to book with Carol!

We have been staying at Papakea since 1982. We have been in many units. When we first started staying here, all reservations were made through the resort. Now, you have different people and managers handling the properties. It’s not as good in my opinion. This property has beautiful views of the ocean. It’s nice to have carpet in part of the unit. It’s in pretty good condition and has air conditioning throughout. The loft does not have a bathroom, and many of the fourth floor units do. If you have small children, they can fall through the staircase slats. Many of the fourth floor condos also have a drape that you can pull across the rail upstairs for
Privacy, but this one did not. There were no seasonings other than salt and pepper. Washer is okay, but only put three beach towels in at a time. We would not rent this property again for a few reasons, but it’s nice enough.

Such an amazing find! Papakea is a gem of a resort with a real feeling of community and obvious care from its staff. The view from the unit is just as beautiful as pictured, but what it can't show you is how wonderful the ocean sounds from your rooms and the lanai!
The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed, and included everything we needed to make some excellent meals. Really appreciated the Tupperware, especially.
Easy access to so many favorites, too. Only a short walk to Times supermarket, the beach walk, the Fish Market, the Farmer's Market, and Bad Ass Coffee. Also got us to explore a new part of the coast, which was great.
We really enjoyed our stay, and are already thinking about booking again for next year. Highly recommend!

Loved our stay! The property is great/as advertised and the location is perfect. Minutes from Lahina or a short drive if you want to head up around the North Shore. Great dining and activities are close and there's a grocery store across the street if needed. Very comfortable for our party of six. Would definitely book here again.

We absolutely loved this location! The pictures don’t even do it justice. We were traveling as 3 couples and had a blast. We would travel around the island during the day and relax at night in the hot tub and sit on the deck in the morning sipping coffee and whale watch. Carol was very easy to communicate with. She gave us great ideas of places to eat and things to do. We have traveled all over the world and this is the best VRBO owner we have ever had!! The condo was well stocked. There wasn’t one thing it lacked. It is also close to food trucks and shopping. We cannot think of anything negative to say! Absolutely wonderful vacation 🐠🌴🐳☀️

Everything we needed was located here - from comfort items, to beach gear, Carol's hospitality was amazing! Her concern for our enjoyment was evident through her suggestions and recommendation for downloading the GyspyGuide; we saw Maui in a whole new way by using this App - MUST HAVE WITHOUT A DOUBT. Everything was clean, comfortable and all we could ask for. I can't say enough about the fun family environment and the sunsets! You won't be disappointed by staying here!

Our stay at Carol’s condo at Papakea was everything stated on VRBO and more! The condo is spacious, clean, and has all of the necessities. The outdoor patio was wonderful for coffee & breakfast, while enjoying a breathtaking view of the ocean and mountains. The convenience of this location is superb- it has everything you could ask for in walking distance or 5-10 minute driving distance! Carol was a spectacular host- she was on top of everything from start to finish, so approachable, and even gave recommendations on restaurants, activities, beaches, etc. My family had an excellent vacation in Maui thanks to Carol & our condo at Papakea, and we cannot wait to come back for another visit!

This condo has a great view of the ocean, the pool, and the activities area. You always have a bird’s eye view of your family if you aren’t joining them.

So happy we found this place!

What a great time! We had a party of 6, with 2 kids (6 & 9). The unit was a perfect fit and had a beautiful view. Coffee every morning on lanai, listening to the waves crash was amazing. The owner of the unit was always available from the time we booked. If we had questions or needed info, she was there, no delays or concerns at all. She was proactive during the trip, sending an email just to assure we had everything we needed and to see if we had any questions. The unit was clean and had everything we needed. Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, she has some DVD's available to watch (if kids need some down time), even a couple board games if you need to get out of the sun for a bit! We used it all. The bedroom with two beds was tucked back in the unit, which was nice for the kids. Having AC was great too. Although not necessary all the time with the great airflow you get by having the lanai doors open but when it's time to cool down, it was wonderful. We really couldn't have ask for a better trip, starting with the hospitality. Thanks Carol for sharing your home for a couple weeks! We loved every second of our vacation! Mahalo, from Colorado.

We loved this property and would love to go back again. Communication with the owner Carol was great and she even checked on us when we were there. It was perfect for our family of 5 ( all adults) plenty of room for everyone to sit in the family room or the patio. We shopped at Costco and cooked 1/2 our meals, the kitchen had all the cooking utensils, pots and pans, plates, cups and silverware we needed. There was even chairs, towels, shade umbrella ( a must), boogie boards and coolers for the beach. The kitchen and bathrooms were upgraded and very clean and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable. WiFi and cable in the condo. AC units in all the rooms and they worked great! The facility has 2 pools, hot tubs, tennis courts, pickleball courts, shuffle board and putt putt golf - you go to the office book it and they have what you need. There is a large grassy area for yoga, kids to play or just to sit and watch sunset or sunrise. I was very impressed with the facility it was very well maintained compared to other places we walked through. We walked to the beach at the next door hotel and it was less than 5 mins walk. There was an ABC store, grocery store walking distance and very close if you needed anything. 2 strip malls close ( 10 min walk) with a Coffee place , small fish market, breakfast place and food trucks every evening. All around perfect vacation place!

Papakea K404 is an incredible property in a unique serenity location that has everything to offer. The view is beautiful from the condo. You can walk eight minutes to the beach to body surf or play in the sand or enjoy various restaurants, ABC stores, and a complete grocery store, Times Supermarket. The well-stocked house has everything guests need, from household items, beach toys, chairs, and boogie boards to feel at home. One can open the sliding doors to the lania to see, hear and smell the ocean. The Papakea grounds are well-manicured, and the pool and grill areas are maintained daily. There would be plenty of parking spaces if one rented a car. Plus, the Ka'anapali area is a close drive to beachside Whalers Village with boutiques, diverse restaurants, and activities. Carol, the property owner, was accommodating in answering our questions and was super helpful in making sure we had what was needed for a fabulous stay. We highly recommend this property!!

We were a group of 3 couples in our 30s-40s. The condo was perfect for us. The grounds are very well kept and the resort maintains a quiet, casual, peaceful slice of paradise. We ventured through many of the neighbouring resorts and wouldn't have wanted to be any other place than Papakea.
The condo is spotless and so comfortable. I recommend opening up the expansive screened windows in the master to sleep. The sound of the rhythmic waves and palm fronds bustling in the breeze will make anyone sleep like a baby. The condo is equipped with 4 beach chairs, coolers, and boogie boards.
There is a food truck lot that's about a 5-minute walk that is fun. The Fish Market just North of the ABC store is also highly recommended. We frequented that place a bit excessively because it was so good.
Ultimately, Papakea K404 was perfect and I feel like we hit the jackpot for rentals. It would be great for groups of friends or families.
