Maui Budget Condo with Oceanfront Luxury at Papakea

Lou and Patty were exceptional hosts and highly recommend choosing their place for your stay on Maui. We had everything we needed at our fingertips. The place was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the A/C kept all areas comfortable. We spent time each morning and evening on the lanai. Even saw a couple whales swim by. Everything was perfection. Such a fabulous way to spend my birthday. And when we had some travel troubles on the way home, Lou was quick to respond and very helpful and accommodating. I cannot thank Lou and Patty enough!

We really enjoyed our stay at Lou’s VRBO. We spent lots of time just relaxing on the lanai. Daily views of sunsets, turtles, and whales was amazing! We used one of the grills in the pool area several nights and it worked out great! Pool and hot tub were nice. You do have to walk a little way down the beach to get to a swimming area, but we didn’t mind. Overall we found the location to be great as we explored the entire island. We would stay there again!

Really nice spot to enjoy Maui! Incredible view, nice and clean and had everything we needed!

My family and i just returned from the best vacation we have ever had! If you are looking for an ocean front fully stocked condo, with great owners this is it! The place had everything we needed for a great base camp while we explored the wonders of Maui.We enjoyed morning coffee by the ocean and evenings watching sunsets on the balcony. The resort has many amenities: including 2 pools, activities, putting green, shuffle board. The resort is located within walking distance of several restaurants, food truck park, a grocery store and ABC store. Most of all, Lou was fantastic communicating before and during the rental. This was my best experience using VRBO! Thank you for sharing your wonderful place!

This property was stunning - the most perfect view of the ocean right off the lanai, plus the sound of waves all day and night. We were so happy with the condo and all aspects of the property. Would absolutely come back!

This clean, cozy, well-equipped condo with a terrific oceanfront lanai was perfect for the four of us! Our early morning snorkeling with the fish and turtles at Kapalua Bay and at Kahekili Beach Park, followed by breakfast and coffee on the lanai while watching the whales was simply heaven on earth. At the end of the day, sunset on the lanai was the perfect location to enjoy memorable meals, some home-cooked and some from local eateries. At night the sounds of the waves lulled us to sleep on very comfortable beds. We would love to come back to this special condo!

Spent a month here so this was an in-depth experience. The unit is very well stocked, furnished and equipped. Much better than the usual. Owner is super responsive and nice. Best ocean view we've ever had and we've seen a lot. Not too high or low and very close to water. Visited many communities in west Maui and none better than Papakea even for much more money. It's got a relaxed, low key family vibe we didn't see anywhere else. Hope to return soon.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Lou’s place! The condo was clean, comfortable and made us feel at home! The view is to die for! We enjoyed our morning coffee on the Lanai as well as out evening beverages! The beds are comfortable. The kitchen as everything you need to put together meals if you wish. All appliances are in good working order. They even provide Folgers coffee which we enjoyed every morning! We highly recommend this condo to all our friends and family!

Our stay was from 2-22-24 to 2-28-24. The unit is in one of the beachfront buildings, so the view from the 6'x15' lanai was worth the whole cost. The extra 1000+ sq ft condo space was pure bonus. We were there during whale watching season, and the live marine show was out of this world. From the lanai, we saw whales constantly. We saw sea turtles feeding in the surf right in front of us. We saw dolphins in the distance traveling north. The view was the #1 reason we chose this unit, and it sure paid off. Communication with Lou before, during, and after our stay was always fast. We never had an issue so we didn't have to contact the local manager. The condo was well stocked. The beds were comfortable. We didn't interact much with the resort staff, but they were great every time we did stop by. There were only 3 of us, but the 2 br, 2 ba unit has 2 queen beds, 1 twin bed, and a pull out sofa. There's an elevator in the building, and since the unit is on the top floor, it was nice not having to lug our suitcases up the stairs. It's impossible to list all the great things about the Papakea resort and the unit specifically. Read all the reviews for much more comprehensive assessments. I just know we loved it all and that resulted in an unforgettable week. We look forward to our next stay at Lou and Patty's little slice of paradise.

This was our 3rd trip to Hawaii but for a variety of reasons could never make it to Maui until now. What a treat it was! The condo was everything and even more. No detail was overlooked. As a VRBO owner myself I looked for and noticed the extras in the kitchen, bedroom, supply closet (cooler pack!), and bathroom that made our stay easier and convenient. Appreciated the in-unit washer and dryer, beach towels, the full size shampoo/conditioner, and all that the kitchen offered because my husband loves to cook, and most meals we enjoyed eating on the lanai. Lets talk about the view from the lanai. Hello! We stayed Feb 7-12 and whale activity was at it's peak. No binoculars needed! So spectacular! I am a fitness walker, and distance runner so I enjoyed exploring while covering mile after mile of this beautiful side of the island. Lastly, I want to pass along that Patty and Lou were wonderful and deserve an A+ from us as owners. They were quick to respond to my few questions I had. Thank you so much for such a memorable stay at an awesome rental!
