This stay was the perfect location for us. We played tennis every morning, enjoyed spectacular whale shows from our lanai, loved the constant beauty & roar of the ocean with beautiful well kept grounds. Papakea is within walking distance of great food carts, BadAss coffee, the Farmer’s Market (a local grocery store that needs tourists support!) & other small restaurants.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in this oceanfront room, though I wouldn't book it again. Here is why:
1. The air conditioner is weak and attached to a timer (similar to a hot tub timer). Every few hours the timer needs to be reset to keep the area cool. And it never cooled down enough so nights got extra hot.
2. Cleanliness lacking. I'm at the beach in Hawaii so I don't mind a little sand here and there, but this was A LOT of sand throughout when we checked in. I also noticed little bugs/sand fleas on the kitchen counter, cabinets and along the dishwasher. I bought disinfectant wipes and had to clean up prior to settling in.
3. Our stay was for 2 weeks. They only provided 2 rolls of toilet paper. This just comes off as cheap.
4. Beach equipment is mostly broken. It was clear that there was no quality control when 2 beach chairs and the umbrella were broken. The cooler and beach chairs were great to have but don't rely on being able to use the chairs or umbrella.
The PROs:
The property is gorgeous with plenty of parking. The neighborhood has everything you would need like restaurants, beach rentals, and grocery stores (great for buying more toilet paper).
This unit was also stocked with kitchen and grilling essentials. I recommend washing the dishes prior to using them though.
Overall, we didn't spend much time in the unit as we were always out exploring. The location made for a great home base and had the basic necessities.

We love the unit mostly for the view, comfortable bed and well-equipped kitchen. A couple of suggestions: Ask owner to purchase a high top table with chairs. This way guests can see the water without having to look through the railings when seated. Also, the lanai screen door needs to be replaced. It's off the track permanently. Thanks for hosting us. See you in August. Mahalo!

The various members of the staff that we worked with at My Perfect Stays were great. They were all very helpful and professional in everything that they did to help make our time in Maui a memorable one.

Ocean front, great location! Nice, larger condo complex, well maintained. Not the most comfortable furniture. Nice quiet unit away from the hustle and bustle of the resort communal areas.

Really wonderful spot- great clean new unit with beautiful ocean views- could sleep and hear the waves. Had some issues with property company losing reservation but they did a great job getting us into another nice unit.

This place is a basic condo, a bit dated, especially appliances. Basically stocked. The thing that really bothered me was this unit has the a/c on a timer you spin to turn on. (think hotel hot tub) You could only set for 6 hours max so you would wake up sweating and have to turn the timer back on. You could also not adjust the temperature. Seems like such a juvenile way to treat guests, I would not return nor recommend.
That being said, the property management company was excellent.

This condo is nicely updated, well equipped, and conveniently located. We went to Maui for whale season, and saw plenty of whale activity every day from our lanai. The Papakea property offers plenty of amenities and the acreage is beautiful.

Perfect location, the sound of the ocean throughout the property was incredible and relaxing. Looking at whale playing from our lanai was priceless. Easy access to restaurants, and direct access to connecting resorts. We Had New Year's Eve dinner at Kaanapali beach club which was a short walk away from our condo. We snorkeled behind the property. It was magical.

Of course the location was epic. When we got to our less than clean condo the toilet didn't work. It was clogged, so I had to spend 30 minutes working on it to get it to flush properly. I had to do this because the property management company is only available 9-5. my wife then had to sweep the dirty floors and balcony. we had to wash some dishes and glass wear that weren't clean. Also the screens in the bedroom had a thick layer of dirt on them restricting air flow. The air conditioner worked half the time and the glass panels in the horizontal windows fell out if you touched the handles. We love the location and have stayed at Papakea many times before . We would never rent this condo again. Ever

We loved the location of this property just North of the more crowded resort area of Kaanapali but very walkable. Including a Food Truck Park, Farmers Market, Gift Shops, Coffe Shop, Beach and more. It maybe a little tight for 4 but was perfect for 2 and the best of Papakea given that it was Ocean Front which was key. The unit was well equipped if you did want to cook which we only did 1x - The washer & dryer a great feature along with beach chairs and umbrella. We will definitely love to come back to beautiful Hawaii and this unit in the future

This ocean view from this condo is breathtaking -- we even were able to see a (probably reef) shark swimming in the clear water. The condo itself is adequate. We have stayed in many Papakea units -- this one is not as updated as some and could be a bit better stocked (e.g., with more kitchen things, boogie boards, and books on Hawaiian flora and fauna) but it was very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. With the fans provided in the bedroom we didn't need the AC. Overall, a great place to stay.

The location of the unit was nice in conjunction with the Papakea property - really enjoyed being 25 feet from the ocean!

We loved staying at your place with the ocean view, location of the property and the space we had with the one bedroom. The sound of the ocean was everything!
We will be back

The sliding glass door was shattered prior to our arrival. The property manager said they would keep us updated on when it would be repaired. We never heard from them again and it was not replaced before our departure.

A very good trip. There was a major drainage renovation going on right outside or balcony that I was alerted to two days prior to arrival that I wasn't thrilled with. The bed in the master bedroom was uneven and lumpy. Other then those two items, great views, nice property and Maui is the best.

We've stayed in many units at Papakea, but the view from this condo, and the well-stocked unit made it a winner! We'd love to stay here again.

I absolutely loved this property! It has well-appointed kitchen and amenities, is clean and comfortable, and has an absolutely unbeatable view. Plus swimming and snorkeling is just outside your door, with the stairs at the end of the building. There was a small maintenance issue during our stay - we called the property manager and it was fixed immediately without us having to be home! We’ve stayed at the Papakea resort a number of times and this was our favorite condo. We will definitely be back!

This condo was so perfect for us. You wake up to the sound of waves. It is clean and has everything you will ever need.

We have stayed many times at the Papakea resort. This was one of the best units we have stayed in. The view was spectacular, the unit updated and well-stocked with everything you may need- including beach chairs and beach towels. The kitchen had everything one would need for cooking. The linens were good quality. We appreciated the welcome gift with a coupon from Kimo’s for a free slice of Hula pie. We enjoy being away from the crowds at Kaanapali and the more laid back feel of Papakea. The location is great- close to many great beaches, shops, groceries. You can walk to the ABC store, Bad Ass Coffee, the Cruzin Cafe for breakfast sandwiches/coffee. The food trucks around the corner were handy but they do get crowded so go early! We loved our stay and would be happy to return to A305.
