We had a wonderful time in Maui and thought this studio was perfect for our week long get-away! The location was perfect for us, close to great beaches and downtown Lahaina. We made use of the beach chairs that were in the closet to each beach outing. I'm glad Papakea made some upgrades to their buildings/grounds since we were last there several years ago. It's a well maintained property and saw groundskeepers out daily. We saw other units and were thankful that this studio had upgraded the bathroom and kitchen. Our favorite part of the property was being able to walk down to the pool area and watch the sunsets. The balcony served as the perfect spot to have our breakfast every morning while looking out to the ocean. Even though detergent wasn't provided, having a washer/dryer was such a bonus! What we love most about this property is that it's large enough to have a common area for pool/hot tub/lounge chairs/BBQ, but still maintain that small non-resort feel. We did feel like we were at home in this place and dream of coming back soon!!
