The Pikake is a great place for those that want an intimate experience with the ocean vs the large high rise resorts. For those wishing to enjoy the sound of the surf while having morning coffee (or sleeping) this is a great place. It was also cool to see the turtles swim by. We found it to work well for our family of four.
It did come nicely stocked with beach gear and snorkels/masks. One should check what is on hand before renting.
July (the owner) was quick to respond to any questions and very pleasant to deal with.
The unit itself was nice. Furniture was all in good shape and tasteful.
In full disclosure I did inform July that her cleaning and maintenance services need improvement. The important things: kitchen, bathroom and linens were all clean, but I think the cleaning service was failing to dust for some time. We are not neat freaks and it was noticeable.
All in all a nice place to enjoy mornings and evenings while providing a good launching pad to explore all that Maui has to offer during the day. We found it to be a very good value.
