Dawns condo is fantastic. Brings with it the feeling of staying in a home and not a hotel room. You’ll find all your needed beach extras like chairs and whatnot. Water view is incredible. Bed was very comfy. Overall great experience.

We had a wonderful time at this Papakea property! The hosts are kind and responsive, and the listing is just as described. We loved being able to walk right out onto the green and enjoy meals on the lanai. I was pleasantly surprised at how well-stocked the unit was, which added to the at-home feel. It is well equipped with everything you need and echoing other posts about the comfortable bed. The pool and grounds are well maintained, and you can't beat the location on the beach. If you visit, be sure to check out Papi O'hana's, a block from the property, for the best cinnamon rolls you've ever had. We will be back!

This was a user-friendly vacation suite at first sight. Colorful, personal, full of amenities, and comfortable in a convenient location for the view, cabana, pools, and gardens. We spent time on the patio and cabana for meals and visiting others in our friends' 50th Anniversary party. Everyone used the shuffleboard, cliffside lounges, pools, and even the well-behaved grass for some stretching sessions. Inside, the kitchen was well used and the bed is truly perfect. Dawn was always available. The adjacent convenience store is early-coffee-and-treats-friendly too! We'll have happy memories on all counts!

E105 was the prefect place for our 10 day visit to maui. Everything was great for these grandparents who rented 4 pther rooms for our children and grandchildren. Your rental provided us with a Home base for game playing bothe inside and on the patio. We were close to the pool so we were able to watch the GK's come back and forth to their unts. Thanks for sharing (sorry we never wrote in your Guest Book
PS the lighting in the living room was very dim. We purchased different light bulbs but nothing helped. One of our Son-in-laws put one regular bulb in the chandelier and they all produced more light! Not sure what the bulb configuration was.

Papakea is always beautiful with well tended grounds, entertaining whales and nearby amenities. Dawn and Tom were great to work with, frequently communicated and their unit is well placed, clean and provided everything we needed. Would not hesitate to deal with them again.

We had a fantastic three weeks at Dawn and Thomas’s condo. They were excellent hosts. The condo is wonderful. Very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glassware, pots & pans. The bed was very comfortable and the third person in our party using the hide a bed said it was very comfy also.
The resort shoreline is not really a beach but we saw some people in the water. Some snorkelling, others paddling in the shallows at low tide. Pool was great, warm and quite large with a deep end.
The resort was exceptionally well maintained. Lots of staff cleaning the greenery, walkways and pool. Front desk staff were wonderful.
With so many restaurants, food trucks, plus the ABC store and Times Market close by you did not have to go far to get food or supplies. We had pizza from Paradiso, lunch at Java Jazz, Ribs from the food truck plus several other restaurants around the island. We never had a bad meal.
We had a car and did quite a bit of sightseeing. We revisited the Maui Ocean Centre. Took a drive to Wailea. Also drove up to Maui Wine which was fantastic. If you haven’t been, go. Beautiful views. Even if you don’t drink wine it is worth the trip. Don’t miss Costco if you have a membership, largest selection of macadamia nuts to be found I’m sure plus excellent wine collection and a huge roasted chicken for $4.99. Stock up on Aloha Ice Tea and Maui Potato Chips and you are set.

This was our first trip to Maui and we absolutely loved Dawn's place. It was perfectly equipped with everything we needed. It was very clean & check in was a breeze. The grounds were beautifully maintained and the kids loved the pool and putting green. Dawn was quick to respond to any questions i had. The condo is located in a beautiful area with lots of stores close by. We will definitely be coming back and I would HIGHLY recommend Dawn's place for anyone that wants to experience paradise.

Condo just as advertised. The managers were very accessible and quick to answer our questions
October 2023
I don’t know where to begin …. This is just a fabulous condo and resort. From the moment we contacted Dawn, the owner, we received quick responses, care and consideration. This is the most equipped condo I have ever stayed in, from tin foil to Saran wrap,to a complete array of spices and other cooking supplies. Even coffee. The condo was clean in every possible way and towels were plush. There has been careful attention given to everything that would make guests feel welcomed. Papakea is a quiet and beautiful resort with everything you would want whether it be soaking, sunning, miniature golfing and just sitting back listening to the ocean roar. Highly recommend this condo!!!!

This was a beautiful location to stay in Maui, near plenty of activities, many that were within walking distance. The check-in and check-out process were easy because all the information was sent in advance. The host was responsive with any questions and sent additional information that helped my partner and I find more activities and food in the area. The condo was clean and had everything that we needed for our 6 day stay. Thank you for helping to make our first visit to Maui so wonderful, we hope to visit again in the future!

We loved our stay at Dawns unit at the Papakea Resort. We love the location. So close to our favorite restaurant The Fish Market. A hop skip to Whalers Village or Napili Bay. The unit itself was spotless and well appointed. We had everything we needed from beach chairs and umbrellas to boogie boards and a cooler. We loved every minute and will be back soon. Thank you so much!!

This is a tastefully decorated unit; a very comfortable king bed. Well equipped kitchen. We used the unit as overflow space for my husband and I while our three adult daughters occupied our usual 2 bedroom ocean front unit. A well-kept unit located in an exceptional complex; the unit had very comfortable furnishings.

Beautiful resort - clean, beautiful flowers, greenery, and Christmas decorations. Pool area was clean and well kept. Loved that they had Pickleball courts, shuffle board, and putting green, in addition to pool. Would have liked earlier hours to play Pickleball and a beach area. Ocean view but no beach area.

Look no further, this Papakea condo is Paradise in Maui. Dawn and Tom have thought out every last detail to make our stay absolutely perfect.
The condo is spotless and in perfect location, the flowers, the birdsong, the beach two minutes away, walking distance to Everything you need. And the landscaping is very well maintained. Although we have traveled the world, we have found our Paradise here at Papakea.
Much Mahalo, Dawn & Tom

I can't say enough about what a great stay this was!
It's walking distance to shopping, food trucks/restaurants, and the north end of Kaanapali beach, and only a few minutes drive south to Baby Beach in Lahaina or north to Napili/Kapulua.
The condo itself was very clean and well kept, and was perfectly suited to our family needs. My little girls loved the ground level access, which allowed them run out the lanai door to the pool, play mini-golf, and chase the lizards as much as they wanted.
The resort grounds are also immaculate, and the pools were not super crowded. We made full use of the kitchen, which was well stocked with cooking equipment. Just a few steps out the lanai door, it was very convenient to get to the bbqs.
Dawn was super helpful with check-in information, directions, and sent us a great start up package. She checked in with us to ensure we were having a lovely stay.
I would definitely recommend this place and I hope to be back again soon with my family!
Mahalo!

Cute and comfortable condo with everything you need to enjoy a Maui vacation. Very nice community pools and great hot tubs.
The lawn by the property's sea wall was a wonderful place to view the sunset. There was a smaller beach right next to the complex and a short drive to the larger beach walk with great restaurants, shopping and beach access. Our favorite restaurant was Hula Grill! We were very pleased with this property and recommend it highly.

What a great place! My best friend and I rented Dawn's beautiful home for four nights and we could not have been more pleased. Everything was just as described and had all the amenities we needed. Dawn was very quick to respond to questions and provided all the information we needed.
The location was great, near lots of beautiful beaches and yummy restaurants. We also loved being so close to the water where we enjoyed snorkeling and relaxing at the beach! I can't wait to go back and stay here, but will definitely plan a longer stay...four nights was not enough :) Aloha!

We had such a great stay in this condo. Having ground level access was wonderful and easy for our 6 year old to get to the pool. We loved the location of the property and just the ease of having a kitchen and our own place to call our own for the 12 days we were on Maui. We have zero complaints about the unit and the resort as a whole. High recommend. Dawn was lovely to communicate with too. Next time in Maui we hope to stay here again!

Wow! What a great 2 weeks spent at E105 Papakea! Dawn and Tom were amazing hosts always checking in with us to make sure our stay was perfect. They were readily available for all our vacation needs.
We are a family of 4 and there was plenty of room for us in the suite. The king size bed was an added bonus and the kids slept very well on the pull-out couch. A/C came in handy especially at night and having in suite laundry was so convenient. The suite is stocked with all your beach accessories including beach chairs, pool floaties , snorkel gear, coolers and thermoses and more. The kids loved having a walk out lanai that led to the putting green and pool. We spent every morning with coffees on the lanai listening to the birds and the waves.
Sunsets right out front were our daily routine and whales were spotted every day while we visited. You could also snorkel right off the seawall.
The location was excellent. We were walking distance from groceries, shaved ice, coffee shops, food trucks and other amazing beaches.
If you are on the fence don’t hesitate to book this amazing suite. We hope to be back in the future.
Mahalo Dawn and Tom for sharing your little piece of paradise.

Just came back from our Maui trip and I can't say enough about how amazing our stay is.
The small 1b unit from Dawn is in a perfect location with easy shopping and dining experience. The food truck offers quick and delicious meals, we love the "slappy cakes" around the corner and went there twice in our 5 nights stays. The ABC store behind Papakea has everything you will possibly need. If you are willing to drive, 10min will get you to Lahaina and there are lot more choices there.
The Papakea aparment complex is amazing as well, ocean facing with tennis court, pickleball court, spa, swimming pool, putting course. Front desk is very friendly and also very efficient with checking in and out.
Dawn's apartment is perfect for a small family of 4, it comes with everything you need for beach play and the small washer and dryer is perfect and just right at the end of the day.

We had a wonderful experience with Dawn! From the very beginning at booking her condo, she answered every question and was SO accommodating. We were there to get married, and we were so excited to find a bottle of champagne in the fridge upon our arrival! The condo was equipped with everything imaginable, and having a washer and dryer was a lifesaver! The location was also great with easy access to the water, pool, parking, and bbq! Mahalo Dawn, for a wonderful stay! We will definitely be back!

From our first contact with the owners until the day we had to return home, this property rates a solid 5 stars! The condo was extremely clean and well stocked with amenities to make the perfect vacation. From all the beach gear you'd need, to a truly outfitted kitchen, we didn't need to spend a dime on anything other than food. It truly felt like a we were staying in a home, not a rental condo. From the modern updated kitchen to the furnishings and a tasteful decorative touch throughout the property, it is one of the nicest place at Papakea that we saw during our 8 days. A big plus was the fact that this property has air conditioning in the main living area and the bedroom. We had several family members on this vacation with us and their condos didn't have AC in the bedroom. They had to rely on a fan to push the cooler air into their bedrooms.
What else is their to say...... this was the perfect vacation in the perfect resort in the perfect property. The grounds at Papakea were immaculate! We even witnessed the grounds maintenance people steam cleaning the sidewalks! The lawns, flowers, putting courses, and swimming pools were in perfect condition.
Thank you so much for really going above and beyond the standard to provide your clients with a most memorable stay in Maui. You are at the top of our list for vacations and can't wait to return to your hospitality in the future.
Mahalo!

Dawn and Tom, thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us! We absolutely loved your condo, it was beautifully decorated with all of the amenities we could have asked for - ground level with access to the pool and just beyond the beach wall was the most stunning private beach! We enjoyed being so close to Front Street and the Whalers Market - our favorite was Moneypods famous Mai Tai! We can’t wait to come back one day - thank you so very much! To anyone looking at this property, don’t hesitate to book we cannot say enough about it!!
