ABOUT THE CONDO...
This beautifully decorated one bedroom direct oceanfront condo provides GREAT views of the pacific blue and is centrally located on the West side of Maui. From the Paki Maui Resort you are within walking distance of a grocery store, Farmer's Market, Fish Market, shopping and many restaurants''. Your just a few miles from Kaanapali and Kapalua resort areas for a wide selection of beaches, championship golf courses, fine shops and restaurants.
The condo is located on the 1st floor, unit #102. However no need to worry, you will still be able to relax on your private lanai because it is above ground level. You can still leave you lanai doors open, to feel the tropical trade winds along with having an incredible view of the islands of Moloka'i and Lana'i and let's not forget about our breathtaking Hawaiian sunsets which will be a lasting memory. If your travels bring you to Maui from mid-December through April, you will be treated to the magical experience watching the migration of the incredible Humpback whales to the warm Maui waters. Watch these “gentle giant’s” frolic in the channel from your lanai or book a trip on a local whale watching boat where whale sightings are practically guaranteed during this time. Pods of spinner dolphins and giant green sea turtles can be seen year round. Occasionally you will see a Monk Seal that stops by for a long needed rest in the near areas.
This is a very comfortable one bedroom unit, where you can stretch out till you heart’s content on this comfy King size bed. The pedestal bed provides several nice cedar lined drawers underneath for your folded clothing. The unit has beautiful stone flooring with attractive coffee forest green marble counter tops. The bathroom has a nice big shower with a sliding glass door and the sink/vanity area is separate from the shower/toilet area. The furniture is all outstanding and comfortable, we’re sure you’ll feel right at home! The fully functional kitchen is stocked with utensils, dishes and cookware. The unit itself does not provide a washer and dryer, however there are coin operated washer and dryers located by the elevators on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors. The unit does provides free Wifi, basic cable, and a basic "starter" set of kitchen and bath supplies.
The tropical grounds of Paki Maui include a tranquil koi fishpond and waterfall that greet you at your entry door. The ocean front side of the condo/ lanai has a grassy lawn area of about 30 feet between you and the ocean. It's just perfect for sunbathing with lounge chairs and tables to help you relax. From the lawn area there are 5 or 6 steps that lead you to protected waters - ideal for snorkeling, and swimming. During your snorkeling experience, you may see the magnificent Giant Sea Turtles, and many tropical fish and colorful coral. The resort amenities include a gated heated pool and Jacuzzi area surrounded by lounge chairs, with beautiful Hawaiian flowers and plants. You may choose to barbecue your meals on the two gas BBQ grills located in the pool/cabana area or use the new ones on the lawn area, ( not gated ). You can enjoy your meals out on your private oceanfront lanai or the ocean side lawn area is the "Gathering Place" where you can meet and enjoy chatting some of the other guests. This is a great location for a romantic getaway or for a fun filled family vacation!

Needs furniture update. Lumpy uncomfortable couch, rusted rickety patio chair was wobbly. Only 1 lamp in living room and it didn't work consistently. Had to unplug it to get it to turn off, then couldn't get it to turn on once we plugged it in. Living room TV did not work consistently, No instructions on how to operate TV. Would not stay there again unless these issues were addressed. Best piece of furniture was king bed.

The check in was just a little bumpy due to Sunday check in. Bree was quickly available via phone and gave instructions and directions to the unit. It was just as pictured—very clean and well appointed. Lots of kitchen equipment. On site laundry available was a plus. The beach is really nice. We watched turtles there daily!

The amenities were great. The view was amazing! Condo was well furnished and had everything we needed for our stay. It had great space. Landscaping was beautiful and welcoming.
We enjoyed the water toys and saw plenty of wildlife from the lanai.
Overall, very comfortable and made our first stay in Maui that much more memorable.

Pictures don't do justice for how pretty the view from the patio is. We saw multiple sea turtles every day swimming close to the place.
The host Brie is very prompt with communication and made sure our stay was as comfortable. Would 100% stay here again on our next visit to Maui.

This is an older condo with older furniture and amenities but nicely kept. We enjoyed our 10 day stay. Fish Market across the street with fresh caught fish daily. Food truck court just down the street was fun. Other small eateries and coffee shops within walking distance. Grass area with beach chairs/lounges with the waves pounding the wall in front of you. The unit's location to beachfront is hard to beat.
However, here are some observations about the condo.
The photographer did an amazing job of making the unit look twice the size it actually is.
Balcony and living areas are comfortable and spacious compared to the rest of the unit.
Bathroom area with shower is small but adequate for two people, not more.
Kitchen is very small but has a full size range and microwave. No oven, but we didn't go there to make Thanksgiving dinner! Small toaster oven is provided but would not fit even a small pizza. Cooking utensils were minimal. Not many drinking glasses, especially plastic ones for the beach.
Bedroom featured a king-size captain's bed that filled the room. If you are shorter than 6 feet tall or have trouble climbing and jumping you might have trouble getting into the bed. My wife is 5 feet tall and I had to pull her into bed each night. It is comfortable once you are in it, but hard to get into. Very little room to move around the bed. We had to move a couple of items out of the room to make it easier to get around the bed. Closet is adequate size with hangers and shelves, and the captain's bed has large drawers that pull out for storing items, but they are hard to access because of how close the bed is to the walls.
Laundry facilities were easy to use and located on all levels except the first level.
Getting to the small beach in front of the break wall was difficult due to damaged stairways on both ends of the property. The damage, likely from storms, is bad enough that the stairs are fenced off. Access to the beach is by climbing down the 4-5 foot wall made of lava rock, not something everyone will be able to do. A short walk north along the street takes you to a nice public access beach where you can spend the day or just walk back through the tidepools to the front of the Paki Maui property.
Pool area was nicely outfitted with gas grills. Spa was warm and comfortable. Pool is not heated so it was not comfortable to be in (we visited in January) unless you are from Minnesota, in which case you would probably love it!
Several maintenance items had been overlooked and we hope they are repaired for the next visitor (all reported to property manager). Bathroom sink drained painfully slow. Kitchen faucet was wobbly and not properly attached to the counter top. Microwave control buttons for lights/fan were loose and hard to operate. Towel rack inside shower had been previously broken and poorly repaired requiring us to continually put it back in place.
Again, overall we enjoyed ou stay at Paki Maui but found the attention to detail for a property priced at this level to be lacking. Next visit we would choose a different property. We hope this helps those considering this unit.

Lot's of positives but the property is a little older and a bit more worn than the pictures might indicate. View/location is spectacular. We saw a turtle or two nibbling plants on the rocks, surfers in the distance, whales in the distance as well. Condo looks out over a channel between Maui and other islands and the water was relatively calm throughout. Listening to the ocean at night and in the morning, having breakfast or coffee looking out across the water, very nice.
We were able to venture out to all the highlights easily.
Bed was comfortable but is high off the ground. Would be a challenge for some, possibly. Bedroom is tight (not an issue for us) and sits on the outside hallway. You likely want the jealousy windows open to cool and it can be a little odd with any traffic outside. That said, the complex wasn't noisy and we appreciated the quantity of fans available.
Hair in shower drain, bathroom and kitchen spouts are very loose. High-use condos, especially those on the ocean can be hard to keep from being worn. Not a ton of space but you're paying a reasonable price and if you're largely using it as a base of operations, the view, location and utility of the space are fine.
Condo complex and condo itself were largely "adequate", I'd say. Not a big deal for us as we largely used it as a base of operations. Kitchen had everything needed and then some. Location, check-in/out process very good. The view from the balcony really, really peaceful.

The property is exactly as advertised. The view from the lanai is incredible. Falling asleep every night to the sound of the ocean waves was so peaceful. Bree was very attentive to us during our stay and quick to respond. I would absolutely recommend this property and would definitely stay here again!
