The Paki Maui is adorable and this unit has the most amazing view from the lanai. We enjoyed waking up every morning and whale watching from our room.
Pros of this rental include: location (walk to a lot of restaurants, farmers market, coffee shops, and a nice boardwalk), the protected beach on the property is nice to swim in, responsive host, super nice groundskeeper who gave us bananas from the trees outside in the morning, incredible view, and nice touches such as a new kitchen sponge, plenty of towels, and coffee and macaroons.
The biggest con of this rental that makes this a 4 star review rather than a 5 star review is that the pool is freezing! We knew the pool would be small from the photos, so that wasn’t so much a problem, but the temperature rendered it completely unusable, which was a big disappointment. Also, it made the hot tub more crowded because even the kids wouldn’t go in the pool. Not ideal. Two other things that were a bit inconvenient is that the place didn’t have a tea kettle (we had to make our French press coffee by boiling water in a big pan and carefully pouring it into the press) and also the hair dryer is super weak. It took a really long time to dry our hair with it. Also, the wine opener was super vintage and hard to use.
Aside from those things, the place is really cute and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Heather was a great hostess too.
