We own 5 weeks of ocean-front Suite 107 at Paki Maui Villas, but we can only use 3 of the weeks this coming year. We would like to rent the last 2 weeks, April 2 to April 16, 2024, just to recover our costs.
The total cost of $3710 ($265 per night for 14 nights) is the“all-in” cost for our guests - cleaning costs and taxes, etc. are all included and paid through our own condo fees. We are not in the condo rental business.
Our suite has one bedroom with a queen-size bed. The living/dining area has a reasonably comfortable queen-size sofa bed, so the unit can accommodate 4, as well as a nice large-screen TV with cable channels, and free high-speed internet. There is also a smaller TV in the bedroom. The bathroom has a tiled shower.
There is also a full kitchen - we buy our own groceries and cook and eat most of our meals in our unit.
The resort has a small pool with a hot tub, and a communal gas BBQ area next to the pool.
Paki Maui is located in the village of Honokowai, just north of Kaanapali Beach. Honokowai Beach Park is next door. The Beach Park is quite nice, especially if you have children. The reef close to the shore creates warm tidal pools during low tide periods, where even the little ones are safe from the ocean waves.
Just across the street from the Beach Park there is a small grocery store that hosts a very popular local farmers’ market, a coffee shop, a souvenir shop, and a beach and surf rental store. Across the street from Paki Maui there is a fish market (we love their fish burgers).
There is a larger grocery store (Times Market) you can walk to just up the road, toward Kaanapali. The same shopping centre has a restaurant (Java Jazz) with live music that we enjoy. And we often walk to Kaanapali Beach and stroll down the boardwalk in front of the nice hotels, or go to Dukes for dinner or brunch.
The Safeway at the north end of Lahaina is just a short drive away and is open, as it was was spared by the devastating fires last fall.
Kapalua Beach and D T Fleming Beach are short drives to the north. Kapalua is great for snorkelling, and DT Fleming has great waves for boogie boarding. We also love to walk the Kapalua Coastal Trail, from Kapalua to DT Fleming, with its great views from cliffs and lava flows.
Paki Maui has free parking for owners and their guests (you would be our guests), you would just need to register at the front desk, tell them you are staying in 107, and they will give you a pass for the duration of the stay. However, that is the only service they provide to owners and their guests. If you have any issue, you would need to contact our own manager (contact information will be in a binder in the suite).
Paki Maui is a pretty basic type of place, but we find the building and location very nice (this unit has been enjoyed by our family members for the past 40 years). There is a lawn with palm trees in front, and a small sandy area in front of the sea wall.
There are 2 lava reefs that protect the shore area in front from big waves. We walk over the first reef (water shoes recommended) and swim or snorkel between the two reefs in up to about 7 feet of water (at high tide), safe from being swept away by the large waves and riptides that you can get at the larger (albeit nicer) beaches like Kaanapali or DT Fleming. Sea turtles often swim by, feeding by the closer reef.
The best thing about Paki Maui from our perspective is the view from the ocean-front suites like ours. We love to sit on our balcony (lanai) and watch the whales breaching and the beautiful sunsets between the islands of Lanai and Molokai.
Suite 107 is on the first floor, the fourth suite from the north end of the building. While it is called the first floor, it is actually raised up off the ground. We like the first floor as we don’t need to walk to the elevators in the centre of the building.
