Awesome Resort

L401 was fantastic! Beautiful view, watched sea turtles all morning. Great unit with everything you need to cook as desired, very short walk to uncrowded beach with snorkeling just off shore. Might not be the newest facility but top notch accommodations. Food truck park, grocery store and restaurants within walking distance. Better jump on this unit, second bedroom is in the loft leaving plenty of privacy on first floor Just can't say enough about our stay

Wonderful!

Perfect location for a base camp for island adventures. Condo was very well stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, tennis rackets, snorkels, fins and even suntan lotion. Great sunsets every night. ABC store in walking distance. We will be back.

Gorgeous views of sunrises/sunsets/rainbows/whales

We enjoyed seeing beautiful sunrises and sunsets from our lanai. Spectacular views of rainbows and whales out in the ocean we will never forget. Being on the 4th floor provided amazing views. We really enjoyed having a dining room table in addition to counter seating. Our only feedback is that the air conditioners did not work in our condo throughout our stay and the kitchen could be stocked better. I slept out on the sofa during our stay near the open door to have the ocean breeze. All in all we still very much enjoyed our stay.

Papakea L401

Great location with beautiful views. Unit needs a thorough cleaning above what cleaners might do on normal basis and it could use a fresh coat of paint. My Perfect Stays management company was very responsive when the AC wasn't working, and they had a technician out the next morning to resolve the issue. Overall great communication with My Perfect Stays. We would definately rent Papakea L401 again.

Papakea condo in Maui

This 2 bedroom was clean but older. The carpet going upstairs needs replaced and that stairway very narrow. Also needs updated pans. The view is beautiful from the condo. The property immaculate! Not a fan of the rocks in the water and lack of beach in front of condo. We loved the pool, hotub and grilling area.

Would definitely stay again

We enjoyed every minute we were at the unit. The view of the open ocean was spectacular and saw awesome sunsets and whales sitting at the balcony. The king bed was comfortable. The unit’s kitchen was well equipped. The unit also had good beach accessory supply: beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys etc. The location was also very convenient as it was close to a grocery store, coffee shops, ABC store etc. However, we did feel that the unit could use a deep cleaning as we could some bird feathers and dust bunnies upon arrival.. the furniture especially patio chairs and tvs could use some updates. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and would definitively consider coming back.

5 stars!

We stayed here for a week and had an incredible time. We saw a lot of whales, turtles, and magical sunsets right from the private balcony. You can also see the island Molokai across the water. The apartment is situated in a family-oriented resort with a lot of amenities. There is a pool, jacuzzi, putting green, pickle ball, tennis, and shuffle board. We also did some snorkeling right out front. No restaurant or bar at the property but many options (including a grocery store) within a short walk. There's also a full kitchen in the apartment and a couple BBQs by the pool, free of use. The apartment has nice traditional Hawaiian touches throughout and slept 5 adults perfectly. The washer/dryer was also very handy. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to come again soon. Mahalo!

Great place to land after your adventures

My family of 4 just returned from our Maui vacation. This unit and the Resort did not disappoint! The pictures give an accurate depiction of what to expect which is nice when you're skeptical like I am. Sitting on the balcony watching the unbelievable sunsets was an event in itself. Something not to be missed. The unit was comfortable and offered plenty of seating options. A word of caution though, the stairs are narrow and steep. We have some mobility issues so we had to adjust our sleeping arrangements. A previous review mentioned old beach chairs but they have been replaced with brand new chairs! The elevator is close to the parking lot and parking was never a problem. We will definitely stay here again!

Great Location! Beautiful views!

We really liked this property. The view was beautiful, right on the ocean just as the photos show. We had an issue with the air conditioning which was resolved within 24 hours. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. In case you're unsure, like we were, there is an elevator which is important because this unit is on the 4th floor. Check-in was super easy. The beach is rocky but it has some nice snorkeling. The only thing that I would recommend to the owners is to replace the beach chairs. They are very old and uncomfortable. And the cushions on the balcony chairs need updating because they were old, flat and uncomfortable to sit on. Otherwise, we had a good experience. Thank you

Not at all what it showed

This place is passably functional, but dated, worn and unclean in places. When you can FEEL how filthy the carpet is and not just see it, you know you're in trouble. Ironic that they want you to take your shoes off, I felt I needed some for protection, but, we complied with the house rule. The chairs at the high outside table are very uncomfortable. What was once a cushion is still on most of the seats, but it is razor thin. And the edging is cracked and peeling, making scratches on our skin. The rubber along the foot rails is cracked and breaking off. And there was a picture of two chaise lounges, but there was only one. I can't imagine the photo was taken on this actual lanai. Cannot beat the view though. But what is that skanky canal just on the edge of the property? I wondered why you would provide a 16 oz bottle of general cleaner, but not a DROP of dishwashing soap. Are we supposed to buy supplies for the condo? That's pretty rude. The Air Conditioning downstairs was broken, not cooling, not blowing, and there isn't a way to get a cross breeze from the outside. The loft AC worked, but it also dripped condensation down the closet wall, getting the clothes wet. The configuration when we got there was a dresser placed right in front of the closet door making it very hard to access. And all the beach junk in the bottom of it was messy and inconvenient. The loft had a queen bed and a TRUNDLE BED. You should make that known. It was scrawny, covered in dust, and uncomfortable. Might be good for a 6 year old, but maybe not for a 66 year old. I have to stop now or I'll get depressed.

Great Ocean front view, very clean and maintained, well stocked with supplies. We enjoyed the sound of ocean waves and the Air Conditioning after a long day in the sun snorkeling, kayaking, and playing. Wonderful stay. Couple minor items - Light switches take some time to figure out, never found light switch for balcony exterior light, and some outlets didn't appear to be working or maybe they were controlled by switches.
