How about a little Dose of Liquid Maui Sunshine Papakea G408 - Sleeps 6

We went on a family vacation (4 families with separate condo's all at the Papakea Resort). The Resort grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. There is little to no sand beach at Papakea. But you can walk down one or two resorts for good beach access. Unfortunately when we arrived our property management company, Chase N Rainbows, had given the front desk the wrong dates. The check-in staff could not reach them and could not confirm our dates or if the condo was cleaned before we entered. Since we had our confirmation email we were given the keys. Thankfully the condo was clean and ready for our arrival. Chase N Rainbows responded via text about an hour after we were given access. The condo was clean but in major need of TLC and upgrades. The furniture was very worn. The screens needed to be cleaned and the window shades were damaged. Most of the details we were okay with until we saw the other condos (rented through other property managers). The other condos were beautifully renovated with working appliances, newer furniture and better equipped kitchens. Our garbage disposal didn't work, the floors were lifting and created a tripping/pinch hazard if you were walking in bare feet and the air conditioner didn't reach to the Master bedroom. The patio had an amazing view but was dirty and the furniture was very worn. Upon check out, we didn't receive a check-out text from housekeeping and the number given was incorrect. Still no word as of this review.

Outdated with broken toilet. Lights and fans missing knobs. Had to unplug at wall. Coffee maker wad from the 80’s and super cheap, stained and dirty. Duct taped fixes.. literally. Pillow stains. But great location. Overall fun but thought it could use an update.

Dirty when we arrived. Food on the floor in the bedroom. Dirty pan in oven, dishes seemed to have been put away without being washed so had to run them thru the dishwasher. The dishes and appliances seem to be from garage sales. They are all mismatched, two teaspoons only. The blender had a lid that didn’t fit that broke when using g for the firstime and plastic fell into the pina coladas that we had to toss. There is black mold in bathroom and the caulking around the shower is peeling away. The dryer has broken parts. The flooring is uneven and has duct tape and painters tape where they tried to stitch it together. The rug in the living room was curled up and I trippped on it. My husband and I moved the couch to hold it down to prevent another falll. Dust bunnies on and under surfaces. There is a remote a the tv in the bedroom but no tv. The lanai has a bird population so there is poop all over it. The oictures are very old. We washed the table but in the process got pooped on so it makes it unusable. Conflicting info from chasin rainbows about checkin. No response to emails or texts before departing. If you call they do look t have an option to leave a message but ask your patience for the difficult times on Maui. Calling Venice’s auniques loop. They would put me on hold and then the call would drop due to inactivity. After several callls they finally said to check in at the Papakea office. Many hours wasted.

Loved the view from the lenai although the chairs could be replaced. We enjoyed the fact that there were beach chairs and other beach and pool amenities. It was great to have not only a ceiling fan but additional fan in every room. We probably cooked a little more than most people so we would have like more kitchen items, but for the normal vacationer it is probably fine. We’ve been to this resort before and still really like it! Aloha

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Rental had a gorgeous view and we enjoyed out stay. It was a rough start with the outdated A/C and that there was not one on the top floor, but that view! It was perfectly located to the pool and ocean side and the lanai was perfect for a HH drink before our dinner outings and spectacular sunsets. As well, food truck central and the close proximity to downtown Lahaina was perfect. Mahalo

Had a great stay! Great view and clean. Recommendations - need to get 2-3 fans for the unit or more AC units, it is very hot and the AC does not reach the bedrooms - updating the bedding would be nice. Better pillows and better comforters/blankets.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were really happy with the property and the view from our balcony. The interior is very nice and the main bedroom bed was very comfortable although the thin comforter was a little scratchy. The kitchen supplies were haphazard and we had to use a makeshift lid for the rice cooker, but this was a small thing. Be aware, this unit does not provide shampoo, conditioner or body wash. There are tiny soaps provided however. Also be aware that there is no in -unit safe.I thought that Chase'n Rainbows worked really well with me to find this unit after we had to cancel our trip last year. I would definitely work with them again.
