An absolute amazing property. Very clean, accessible and located in the perfect area. I had an amazing time and would absolutely stay at property again!

Starting with the good: The ocean at your fingertips from the back porch was WONDERFUL. We spent every morning and evening sitting out there... the high price was worth it for this feature. Apt. was well-outfitted with kitchen and beach items, and the W/D was also a nice feature. Bed was very comfortable and nice towels were provided. Effective A/C units were very appreciated! Easy check-in at condo office, magnetic keys were very convenient.
The so-so: the apartment had a strong musty smell when we walked in, although it was clean. I assume it's just from being so close to the ocean, and with the doors frequently being left open to the ocean breeze. The odor wasn't noticeable after about an hour of running the A/C's, so this wasn't a huge problem... just expect it when you first walk in. (host might consider starting the A/C units before guests arrive)
The big drawback (and reason for only 4 stars) was that the public trash disposal room is immediately outside the bedroom window... and as soon as people start cleaning their places (especially on Sunday and Monday mornings) it gets quite noisy, and impossible to sleep in. This sort of info absolutely needs to be included in the ad so that people know what they're paying for (especially at this price). Host should include this info on the ad so guests can be prepared.
Long story short: INCREDIBLE place right on the ocean, but bring earplugs if you're hoping to sleep in.

Incredible location with even better views on west Maui. Regularly snorkeled right out of the back and experienced a great drive around west Maui.

Great location. In walking distance of food stops and ABC store. Show up early to checking, there can be lines. Sitting on the back porch is very peaceful, but keep in mind other guests may be sitting in your view. Good communication with owner. Condo has everything we needed. Good cold AC and good shower pressure.

Papakea was the perfect spot to reconnect with Maui, and this unit was spot on. I fell asleep to the sound of the crashing waves every night and couldn’t have been happier or had a better time.

This was our 2nd time staying in an ocean front condo at Papakea. If you only have a few days on Maui to unwind, you want to be just be a few a few steps from the ocean. It's a unique experience you can't get any other way. Terry was great to communicate with, the condo is nice, and everything is easy.

This vacation felt like home away from home. We will be back!

We had the best time! All I wanted to see were whales breeching from the lanai after spending a month of sightseeing in Australia. That is exactly what we saw every day! The amenities were abundant. I felt like I was in my own home but in Hawaii! We will be back for certain! I love it here!

This unit did not disappoint. We had a fun and relaxing week next to the ocean and hope to be back soon. This unit is close to all the fun and games the resort has to offer but is private as it is located near the edge of the property. I highly recommend.

We had a wonderful week. Property was exactly as described. Spent a lot of time on the lanai, sipping our coffee every morning and enjoying the absolutely beautiful sunsets each evening. We thought we were going to miss out on the rainbows we had seen on previous trips to Maui but were treated to multiple ones on our last morning. Can’t beat being first floor oceanfront. Already looking forward to our next trip!
