The property manager did not know we were coming, the property owners had charged my credit card but failed to inform the property managers, it took almost two hours to get this sorted out!, unacceptable! Furthermore, the condo only has a small split unit AC, to small to cool the condo, but the owner has stated in the condo book how to help cooling the condo with fans. It is 2024, high priced three weeks stay, every day in the high 80ties or 90ties and we had to endure a hot condo environment with several power failures. On arrival, the bathroom sink was totally plugged and not usable, the toilet was partially plugge but owner had provided a plunger for toilet and sink. I contacte the owner with theses issues and he recommended using the plungers!!
We have been to the Hawaiian islands ten times now over the years, staying in hotels, for longer stays in condos and never experienced anything like this before.
My recommendation to VRBO is to remove this owner from the condo listings.
I will continue to use VRBO since the real issue here is the condo owner.

We made a deal with our son that he could either have a high school graduation party or a family trip, and he chose the family trip (win-win!). Little did we know he’d pick Maui! My husband, two teenage boys (15 & 17) and I stayed at this condo for 7 nights. We arrived in the dark, so it was so fun waking up to the awesome view from the lanai. Everything was very clean upon arrival, and the check-in process was smooth, both with Maui Paradise Properties and Papakea Resort. We anticipated the kitchen being fully stocked, so we made a plan to order groceries from Walmart for pickup right after our flight. If fancy dining is your thing, there were plenty of options nearby, but there’s also a food truck court a block away. And several little grocery stores are within a 2-3 block walk. If saving money on food by preparing it yourself is more your thing, check out those nearby grocery stores/markets/gas stations. The prices aren’t as outrageous as social media makes it seem, and the kitchen has everything you’d need. The view could not have been any better. There were so many whales passing by and several sea turtles too, and the sunsets were front and center, right from your lanai. The king bed was great and the boys slept great on the newer queen sofa bed. The unit had beach towels, chairs, a cooler and even an umbrella. The grounds were beautifully cared for too. Finally, it’s a simple thing, but the water pressure in the shower was fantastic! Don’t hesitate to book here!

We loved the grounds of Papakea and enjoyed the pickleball and tennis courts, pool and large outdoor eating areas for our group traveling together.
The unit needed at least one more comfy place to sit. One couch and a couple of hard back wooden chairs felt inadequate.

If you’re looking for an oceanfront condo that is modern, clean, and in a great location, then this is your place! The condo itself is spacious and well-equipped with all of your needs. It was sparkling clean when we arrived and it made us feel completely right at home. My family and I appreciated the air conditioner during the warm days/nights and also the washer/dryer which helped us pack light. Sunrises and sunsets from your private balcony or from the property's lawn are simply amazing.
Papakea Resort's grounds are beautiful and well maintained. There's also many activities to choose from -- swimming in one of the two lovely pools, shuffleboard, tennis/pickle ball, and even putting greens.
My family and I absolutely enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back soon....for longer next time!

Loved the condo. Exactly as described. Convenient to Lahaina. Only 15 min drive to Honolua Bay for snorkeling. Also super convenient to Black Rock beach for snorkeling. The condo was great! Would come back for sure!

This property had an amazing view and we really enjoyed being right on the oceanfront. In the mornings the tide is far enough out and the beach is about a 1 min walk from the front door of the condo. We took advantage and did some morning swimming a couple of days. The grounds are beautiful. Parking is a bit far from the condos but they do provide carts to wheel your luggage. The AC is only in the living room, not in the bedroom. They do provide a stand fan and there are ceiling fans in both the living room and bedroom but we did find it to be quite warm in the evenings and our last night we spent on the pullout couch which was not as comfortable as the bed. Overall it was a really nice place to stay and we enjoyed our trip with this as our home base.

This condo and property were perfect for us in Maui. The resort was so nice - with shuffleboard, two swimming pools and hot tubs, and so convenient to Lahaina! The condo is nicely appointed with everything you need - and so much storage! The extras, beach chairs, towels, etc. were extremely appreciated! We so enjoyed the 2nd floor lanai - we were so close to the water and the ocean sounded so nice, we were able to see whales, and just relax. It was a wonderful stay!

Very nice property. The kitchen is as well stocked as you will find, tons of high quality pots and pans, great knives, and tons of dishes. There is a Times supermarket one block away with everything you’ll need. Bedding is very comfortable. There is a previous review about insects, we saw not one of any kind for our six days. Highly recommend this property!

We had everything we needed. It was great to have the beach chairs and cooler to use. The location was great and the views from the lanai are spectacular!

This is a wonderful condo to rent - anything and everything you need is here! We never tired of the stunning view from our Lanai. The property communicated various things to us via text throughout our stay. Every staff member - TOP NOTCH! Wonderful!

I loved the property! Perfect place to get away, not very touristy but only 5 min away from touristy places, venues, and activities. The place itself was very clean, modern, had all the amenities (AC was awesome) you would need, and best of all ocean the ocean was 15 ft away with all the wonderful sounds and beautiful sights that come along with it. The information and support for the facility was great and informative. Highly recommend staying here and using the company. Couldn’t be happier!

Beautiful view but condo had cockroaches and needs updating. Not enough towels and appliances are very old and worn. Updating, cleaning, and spraying more often for roaches is needed!

This property was the perfect getaway for us! We felt at home, made many delicious meals, and enjoyed the sunsets every night on the patio. Great place to stay for a couple!
The only disadvantage would be the AC unit. It didn’t keep the condo entirely cool since it was just a wall unit. It would have been great to have one in the bedroom along with the one in the living room!

We have been to Maui 5 times and we absolutely loved this condo. East to get too, on the ocean and the food trucks a block away we’re a big hit. The property was well maintained and the pools were great. It remind my husband and me of the resort in Dirty Dancing…we will be back Maui ❤️🌴

We had a wonderful 11 day stay. We wanted a place right on the water and this property did not disappoint! We would definitely come back.
We are big walkers so it was nice to be close to the beach walk and all that is offered along it. The grocery store across the street was convenient as well.
Friendly neighbors and sense of community at sunset!

This place was amazing! We got an ocean facing room and highly recommend it. It was clean, check in process was super easy! It had multiple pools, hot tubs but we didn't use any of it. It was very close to multiple beaches, restaurants, cafes and you could literally walk to multiple places.

My husband and I loved this condo and resort. It was clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, and in the perfect location in West Maui. This condo had everything we needed and had a spectacular view. I’d give anything to watch another gorgeous sunset from the lanai.

Loved our 3 week stay. We always enjoy Papakea. The actual unit was very nice, loved the unobstructed Ocean View. However, it seems like maintenance could be improved. The shower was not cleaned, the icemaker continued to leak water, the air condiitioning unit was really in bad shape. I think more care could be taken.

We picked this condo for its amazing waterfront view of the islands and lovely shades of blue water. Papakea resort was very well maintained and clean. Management was very responsive to all questions! Would love to book same condo again in future!
