This condo in the Paki Maui condo resort complex is a real gem. It offers a giant waterfront home to enjoy a lovely vacation. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything needed to stay in and cook a meal. I enjoy cooking for my family and I did not feel wanting for much more than what I could find on hand. The resort property also offers gas BBQs near the pool so you can watch the sunset. Our two kids loved their bedroom and own bathroom and we enjoyed falling asleep to the sounds of crashing surf each and every night. We arranged for beach towels prior to our arrival and they were awaiting us in our rooms. The living area is large and entertainment is plentiful via a good size HDTV with Spectrum cable service and Wifi internet all included and easy to use.
The unit is situated in a section of west Maui called Honokawai, in between Kapulua resort to the north and Ka'anapali just to the south. Just down the steps and across a grassy area for lounging is a calm, swimmable beach area that also offers good snorkeling. Smaller tide pools are created from a reef that shields off much of the surf, so it's good for little ones of all ages. The resort property is a small community and we never felt overrun by other guests.
The Honokawai area has a full supermarket within walking distance of the property, as well as many small establishments that can provide everything you need from great coffee, snorkeling gear and fresh fish. Lahaina and Ka'anapali, only minutes away offer even more restaurants, shopping and lively atmosphere. From our home in Honokawai as a launching off point, we were able to see the whole island and what it has to offer, exploring beaches in Kapalua with strong boogie boarding surf, to the very clear and calm beaches of Makena, south of Kihei..
All in all, this Paki Maui condo ticked all of our boxes and more. You won't be disappointed with this home away from home.
