** Maui Budget Condo avec Luxury Oceanfront at Papakea

We had a fabulous stay. The property was exactly as described in the listing, and the pictures were true to life. The best part was being able to sit on the lanai every morning with a cup of coffee and watch the waves in the ocean. Then in the evening, with a glass of wine watching the beautiful sunsets. The condo is well stocked with just about anything you may need. The air conditioning was great and much appreciated it as it was humid while we were there. There are two TVs, but I recommend enjoying the outside and watching TV when you get home. The only downside was that the pool was always crowded. That, however, was not that important to us. We went whale watching, ziplining, outrigger canoeing, to a luau and sunset dinner cruise., to the Acquarium and a fabulous dinner at Dukes. The owners of the condo are great to work with. Got back to us right away with any questions we had. I would highly recommend this condo. Wish we could have stayed more than a week. Aloha and Mahalo to Lou and Patty

Thanks to Lou and Patty for renting us there condo! The minute you walk in an amazing ocean view greets you! We spent every morning drinking coffee and listening to the ocean. The location was great, we walked to the larger resorts for lunch and happy hours. It was my son and husband’s first time to Hawaii and they both loved Maui. We hit all of your suggested eating spots. The Old Lahaina Luau did not disappoint! Thanks again and we may just be renting again in a year or two!

First off the PROs: AMAZING view, if you love the sound of the ocean then this is the place for you! We loved waking up to the view and still being able to hear the ocean with the doors closed. The location is great! We traveled with our almost 2 year old and we went to baby beach in Lahaina and Kapaula beach so we were right in the middle of the two. Plus my favorite place ever "The Fish Market" is within walking distance! they have the BEST fresh fish and the best poke! The condo had enough space for our 3 adults and our toddler very comfortably. I wouldn't say more then 4 maybe 5 adults could be comfortable there. There is a washer and dryer which is very helpful with a toddler, that they did provide laundry soap and dryer sheets for. They provided shampoo and conditioner which was great! There is AC and it works great, it is on a 6 hour timer so that was a little getting used to when the timer would stop to go upstairs and crank it. The kitchen was STOCKED even with tupperware! Lou and Patty were great with communication and answered all my questions before and during our trip!

There are some Cons but definitely not deal breakers just something to note if we were to return. They do have stocked linens, towels for the bathroom to get you through a few weeks, but there were only 8 beach towels. Yes for 3 adults and one child that seems like a lot but 2 we ended up putting on the floor by the two doors to reduce slipping when returning to the condo wet and sandy. So 6 towels for us was a little lean for us when we were going to the beach before and after my sons naps. And just a side note the washer and dryer are on the smaller side could only fit 3 damp towels so just know that ahead of time. Beach gear definitely needs some TLC, they have umbrellas and chairs but the chairs are so old and heavy it is not even worth it lugging them to a beach. The umbrella we brought to the beach one day was broken beyond repair. We found another one but didn't bother with it due to it possibly being broken too. They do have a bunch of boogie boards so that was what we used as something to sit on at the beach and that worked out for us. We brought our own snorkel gear so I can't comment on that but I did see a snorkel set and some flippers. All in all none of these were deal breakers and we made it work with what we had and we ALL had a blast!

Amazing condo at he beach! WE had so much fun and truly did not want to leave! Thanks Lou and Patty B

We loved our stay in this property. The views from the balcony could not be better! The hosts were great at communicating and the unit and the property had everything we needed. The location was also very convenient to everything. We had a great stay!!
