Beautiful property in a great location.
Walking distance to shopping and many food options.
Pools, BBQ, and ocean steps from the door.
Prompt responses from the owner.

We have stayed at Papakea around four times. We love the tranquility, being away from crowds. The only problem we had (not the owners’ fault) was that our reservation was listed incorrectly at check-in. It was under the name of “Stauch” the last name of my first husband and the former last name of our daughter, who has stayed at Papakea. Check-in took someone longer.

This condo was a blessing: from the decor, comfy bed, well appointed kitchen, beach chairs and towels to the incredible Maui sunsets.

The unit and property was amazing. The unit was VERY well stocked with kitchen essentials. All the necessary pans, colanders, utensils & basic spices. It was above and beyond expectations. It was nice not to have to rent beach chairs & bugge boards as they had these in their fun closet along with board games and coolers. The furniture was very nice and well maintained. HVAC worked fabulously as it was a hot and humid week. 5+ stars for this one bedroom!

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.
