Oceanfront well-stocked home 20 ft from the ocean to relax and recharge

This place is exceptional! All the pictures and reviews are on point. Nice condo with all the amenities and the location can't be beat. The small stretch of sandy beach right in front was incredible. Saw turtles every day and a Hawaiian monk seal and sea slugs and sea urchins. I swam every day and didn’t have to drive to a beach. It was so convenient and nice. The farmers market was cute and affordable for basic groceries and all the local shops were perfect to buy your souvenirs or book a tour. Please take advantage of all the eateries nearby. Can’t say enough good stuff about this place. Filipp was accommodating and worked with us on a late checkout due to our flight being late in the evening. I can’t wait to visit again and stay here.

Waking up to the sound of the ocean every morning was unforgettable. Oceanfront view was amazing with turtles swimming near shore. One turtle came on shore during the night! We also woke up to rainbows one morning and enjoyed drinking coffee on the balcony. Condo was well equipped with comfortable king bed.It was a perfect mix of relaxation and natural beauty. Wonderful stay with great communication from our Host!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay. I screwed up the check-in process by not following instructions, all my fault (In my defense, I am a relative VRBO newbie). The host was great about it and he didn’t have to be. After that, all went perfect. We never had any issue finding parking. The property is right on the ocean and the lanai overlooks a small yard and then the beach. The chairs on the lanai are tall which is much appreciated as you can easily see over the railing for a clear view. We saw sea turtles every day and two actually came onto the beach the first night. The location is great in that you are no more than a 15-minute drive from amazing snorkeling and beaches. There are many restaurants and a few grocery stores close by. The space is very clean, in good shape, and well-stocked. There is plenty of storage space for all of your things. The property faces almost due west, so the sunsets are spectacular, but it can get hot and bright in the late afternoon and evening. There is a shade on the lanai and curtains that manage this well. The only minor complaint is that it can get loud in the back of the unit. The property is right off of a street that can be pretty busy. I gotten woken up several times when motorcycles, scooters, trucks or buses went by. Overall, this is an excellent rental for a Maui vacation. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Great ocean view and right on the beach!!!

Our second stay. Wonderful place, breezes flowing through all the windows, turtles, whales and beach out front, what else could you want. We had one issue that we contacted the host about. He could not have been more responsive, took care of it right away. Hope to return again.

A perfect place to get away in paradise. The location is the star… so close to what feels like your very own beach that sitting on the balcony is like being at the beach with a front row seat for the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. The small number of units at the Pikake make it feel so calm and private. So many things are close enough to walk… a lovely little park, a cute local souvenir shop, 2 excellent bakeries, Boss Frogs for rental, even a massage place. And you are steps from where your car is parked if you want to venture out to the natural treasures like the Coastal Trail, or to restaurants and shops in the more densely developed resort type areas. This host has thoughtfully supplied most anything you may need. From beach towels and chairs, to binoculars to watch the whales from the balcony, to flashlights for power outages, to games and books for rainy days, to a complete kitchen with all you need to make meals that you can enjoy on your balcony with a view that is so crazy beautiful! We felt like locals and loved getting to know Maui a bit better.

Filipp was a wonderful host and we'd love to stay here again in the future!We loved the views, proximity to the water, walkability to the small commercial area, and the overall quiet atmosphere.

We had an enjoyable stay and loved sitting on the lanai watching the turtles and whales.

Gitel’s Place is an end unit with wonderful views and cross ventilation. Our host sent very clear communications to make our arrival easy. When we had a problem he responded quickly and helped us resolve it.

We have stayed at the Pikake property a few previous times in other units. The Pikake is by far our favorite place to stay and we look forward to many more visits. We booked 3 separate Pikake units for our stay 10/2 through 10/10 to accommodate our adult children and had a wonderful time. We look forward to our next stay at the Pikake. It can’t come soon enough.Denise and Gene

This was our second stay at Gitel's Place & we enjoyed it immensely both times. We love that there is no AC & that there are louvred windows on 3 sides to feel the ocean breeze & hear the waves all the way through the condo. Being on the second floors gives a great view of sunsets & sea life. The turtles feed on the rocks right in front & swim by every day. And this year we even had some sting rays visit. The condo is well equipped and so comfortable. Filip is so communicative & responsive! It really is our favorite place!

Beautifully furnished one bedroom condo well supplied and very comfortable. Right on small beach with swimming right downstairs. Excellent communication with host.

We had a great time, this condo is in a great location, close to a verity of food options and activities

This home was absolutely stunning! Felt very private and comfortable. The views from the balcony were breathtaking. Easy access to the ocean. With in walking distance to stores and restaurants.

This place was was perfect. The location set you up for so many options for food and activity. The beach was calm enough for our 2 1/2 year to enjoy. I think we spent hours just watching sea turtles swing back and forth between reefs.

Our second stay at the Pikake and just as amazing as the first! Right on the ocean, meals on the lanai while watching the turtles and whales breech, great location to other nearby beaches, shops, restsurants.. just pure heaven!

Great place and location.Only negative. Needs a new barbecue

Loved our stay here. The beach is magical. It was our first time traveling on a plane with our 5 month old and it was perfect here. So many turtles, whales and gorgeous sunsets. Thank you for sharing this space with us

Well stocked. Good communication. Clean.

This is truly a beautiful spot. The host is great and the view is amazing. I highly recommend this place as much as I would like to keep it a secret

Perfect location, short walk to the park, coffee and some gift shops. Got to enjoy the sea turtles of the lanai everyday! The condo was stocked with everything you need to cook at home. Felt like a home away from home.If you need to contact the owners with questions, they are prompt at responding.

Practically your own private beach. Sea turtles and spinner dolphins, what more could you ask for.

The property is just as is pictured. It was so nice to stay at a smaller condo complex and having a beach just steps from the condo was so wonderful! Turtles would come everyday to eat off the rocks right in front of the condo and several times we saw spinner dolphins. We enjoyed our time there and would certainly stay there again.

We really enjoyed staying at Gitel's Place. I was looking for a quiet alternative to a high rise and found our oasis here. The home is very well organized and everything is labeled for your convenience. We slept like babies to the sound of the surf in our backyard. Speaking of which, it was great to have our own private beach in the backyard to frolic in. The location can't be beat. I waited 50 years to come to Maui and we were both so happy to have found Flipp's place. A perfect size for a couple but it can easily accomodate a child or two. There was really only one night, at the dinner hour, when I felt a little uncomfortable since it was September and there is no AC in the unit. Other than that, we were fine. It was nice having the balcony on the second floor and the stairs are very manageable. No extra fees for parking or management here. Can't wait to visit again. Highly recommended!!
