The Pikake is a hidden gem on the island of Maui.
It’s a bit dated and has clearly been a staple of the local community for many decades. Both of which ADD to the magic of the unit. It’s truly ON the ocean. You will never sleep closer to the Pacific Ocean tides than at July’s Pikake condo unit.
The Pikake community is straight out of a John Steinbeck novel. It’s close knit, yet diverse. It’s a blue collar crowd that’s found their slice of Heaven amongst an island that has long been taken over by the white collar bourgeoisie. The neighbors couldn’t have been more welcoming. The 12 unit condo building maintains a low profile amid the high rises and new condominium buildings that soar above the Kaanapali and Napili beaches.
You assuredly won’t have the frills of a 5-star resort, but the proximity to the private beach and daily sunset views reminding you that you’re on one of the finest islands in the world more than make up for that difference.
