First trip to Hawaii and couldn't have picked a better place! We enjoyed our honeymoon watching the incredible sunsets off the balcony. The unit is incredibly close to the water and we were able to enjoy the crashing sounds of the waves our entire trip. It was a great way to relax us during our sleep each night. I give it all an A+!

My husband and I had a wonderful week stay in unit A203. We slept every night with the sliding door open so we could hear the ocean. We have stayed on Maui several times and by far this was the best place to stay if you want a quiet place yet you are still close to shopping etc. We only went out to dinner one night as there is no restaurant that could have provided a better ocean view setting than our balcony. We had romantic dinners watching the beautiful sunsets.

We had an excellent week in Unit A 203. We were there for our youngest son's wedding which took place right on the Papakea grounds, and it was beautiful. We loved being right on the ocean front. It was great waking up to the ocean sounds, having our morning cup of coffee on the lanai, snorkling and swimming in the ocean and pool. We will always remember our week in Papakea #A203.

A203 is all it's advertised to be. A lanai incredibly close to the water results in an unobstructed view of the amazing sunsets. At night, the sounds of the surf and swaying palm trees, along with the twinkling lights from Molokai and seemingly a million stars kept us on the lanai late into the evening. Forget staying anywhere else!

I have just returned from a glorious 3 week vacation staying in Unit 203. The unit was perfect and as described. Nothing beats oceanfront views and sounds. Jan is a wealth of information and quickly responds to all questions, no matter how insignificant they may seem. I would return in a heartbeat. Hope everyone enjoys their stay as much as I did.

My wife and I stayed in Unit 203 for five nights during our recent trip to Hawaii. What a hidden gem. The unit has everything you could possibly want and more. But the best part is the location. You can sleep with the sliders open and listen to the waves as you fall asleep each night. The property itself is quite nice and having the BBQ's out by the pool was great. We give Papakea Unit A203 the highest possible recommendation. We've already spread the word to our friends and family.

We had a hard time deciding if we should stay at a condo or a hotel as we always have stayed in hotels in the past. We decided on this condo and boy did we make the right decision! We had such a great time. The condo was clean and had everything you needed. Jan is very well organized and sends you all the inforation you need about your stay and what to do or where to eat on the Island. Our view was awesome and we were close to everything. The pool areas were nice and we bbq'ed almost every night. It's a nice quit friendly place to stay and not so busy like the hotels are and you save a ton of money being able to make all your meals if you want. We were worried about the murphy bed but it was very comfortable. All in all, it was a very nice easy place to stay at and we would rent the same room anytime and you should too. Thank you Jan!

We had a wonderful time on our honeymoon. Easy to find, clean, comfortable, and a million dollar view of the ocean. Thanks Jan!

We had a great stay in Jan's unit. Sooo close to the ocean, great view (facing west for great sunsets). Very clean and just right for my new wife and me on our honeymoon. Murphy bed was comfier than expected. We especially enjoyed having a kitchen to prepare our own fish at home and eat on the wonderful lanai. Also, very convenient drive to touristy Lahaina and some really great beaches for snorkeling, etc. Would re-visit our recommend to friends and family.

We just returned from a 5 night stay in Jan's A-203 condo and have to say that it was just what the doctor ordered. As others have stated on this comments page, the sound of the ocean is awesome to fall asleep to. The condo location was great, the unit was clean and convenient and yes, the murphy bed was very comfortable too! Check in and check out was a breeze and Jan was a pleasure to work with...we would definitely consider this condo for a future visit...which can't be too soon!

I stayed ten nights in Jan's studio in May and it was perfect. The view from the large lanai was so good and it was great for enjoying the sunsets and watching the giant sea turtles. I couldn't believe how close the studio is to the water and how relaxing the sound of the ocean was. The studio itself was very nice and clean, and the murphy bed was quite comfortable. A203 is in a very good location because although the resort is quite large, the "A" building is away from most of the foot traffic. I'd also like to add that Jan is very professional and a great person to do business with. She is attentive and accomodating. I look forward to my next visit to Maui and I would not hesitate to rent from Jan again.

We had a deeply relaxing week at A-203 and loved waking to the sound of the ocean. From the lanai we saw whale breaches and spouts in the distance and a multitude of rainbows. With a completely unobstructed view of the sea, staying here was a real treat!

My husband and I spent a wonderful week at the Papakea. There is no condo closer to the ocean than A203! Everything you need is nearby (within walking distance), we did rent a car though and drove around almost the entire island. Dale at Barefoot Tours was recommended by Jan, and he was extremely helpful in booking quality excursions that fit our style. We look forward to returning to Papakea soon.

We just returned from our Maui vacation in October 2007 and absolutely loved our accommodations at Papakea (#A203)! The view was magnificent and the condo was very comfortable, including the Murphy bed. Every morning we'd wake up to the sound of the ocean and every night we'd fall asleep to it. We've stayed in several other Papakea condos over the years and this one was our favorite.

The view from this unit is what makes it so special. You can't get closer to the ocean (about 30 ft) and the sunsets from the balcony are spectacular. Sleeping to the sounds of the waves so close by all night is unforgetable. Perfect for two on a honeymoon or get-away. Suggest larger unit if more than two. Very convenient location to stores, gas and restaurants. Landlord was great to deal with-- honest, responsive, friendly and very fair. We recommend it highly and would defintely return.

We had such a great time! Jan had the condo supplied with everything anyone could want. The sound of the ocean right out the front is fabulous! We will definitely be back. It's very cozy and relaxed. We loved it!

My new bride and I spent our honeymoon in this great apartment. We went to sleep and woke up to the sounds, sights and smell of the ocean. It was so pleasant to experience this. It felt as if we were on a boat in the middle of the Pacific with no one else around us, except we could walk out the door into the 'real' world and have everything we needed or wanted right at hand - including the wonderful island of Maui. We did everything possible it seems and still had stuff on our list for next time. We look forward to coming back and experiencing many anniversaries right here in our comfy nest: #A-203!
