  Our experience was much as we expected. The older single cabin like property was clean and well maintained with adequate space and everything worked and easy to use. Most important local excellent management service was available and very responsive to any need even if you had more serious problem always there

  Jesse L from Telluride, CO recommends this vacation rental

  We go to Hawaii most years and we always rent from 2Papayas. Usually, we stay at one of the houses right on Beach 69 (Wailea Bay), but none were available for our timeframe. We rented Blue Makai maybe feeling a little disappointed about not being at the beach. Once we got to Blue Makai we were so NOT disappointed! The oceanfront location and the tranquil lanai made up for being able to walk to the beach. The lanai has a beautiful antique teak daybed wonderful for just lounging and watching the waves. (Or napping!) We saw turtles and dolphins swimming in front of the house. Unlike the beach, it was very quiet and private. The trade winds and the lanai fans kept the mosquitos to a minimum. The house is old, charming, and well decorated. The kitchenware was super well stocked. All the pots/pans were stainless steel and there was a large cast iron enamel dutch oven (Costco's version of Le Cruset). I like a very firm mattress and my daughter likes a squishy mattress. Somehow the mattresses were comfortable for both of us.
  
  Some members of our family are severely intolerant of synthetic fragrances. Mary uses unscented laundry detergent in all her properties and low/no scent on all other cleaning products. The mattresses and washer/dryer don't reek of fragrance like most places. We usually struggle with fake scents when traveling but never at 2Papayas properties. Mary and team are always responsive to any issues.

  Joyce B from Cashmere, Washington recommends this vacation rental

  My husband and I enjoyed 9 luscious days at Blue Makai in June. Our favorite was the private expansive ocean views of every hue of blue imaginable! We never went out to eat or really to do anything but snorkeling twice a day right in front of the house! So peaceful, so magical...we will definitely be back! The outdoor shower is a huge bonus for avid snorkelers like us! A Blue Makai vacation is pure bliss! 🐬🐙🐠

  Vandy H from Oakland, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Blue Makai was everything we were looking for -- private, beautiful, low key residential street. If you want to be near night life, music, or able to easily walk to dinner or shop at unique local businesses, etc, this is NOT the place for you. The closest places to really purchase food (the General Store is very bare bones) are malls with chain stores in big resorts that are almost 10 minute drive at minimum. That said, its isolation was part of what made it heaven for us. We loaded up on groceries and cooked IN every night, watching the sunset over the gorgeous ocean and lava rock. Terrific host, helpful check in, every desired amenity and incredible location on the water with tide pools, snorkeling and turtles right out the back door!

  Mike and Lynn S from Novato, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We so enjoyed our stay at Blue Makai. We love the Puako area and were so lucky to stay oceanside to watch the whales swim by the front of the property and look out at Maui in the distance.
  
  You can easily driver to many resort beaches or walk to 2 in the Puako area.
  
  The location is really nice for easily driving to resort beaches in the area and well as walking to 2 local beaches. And driving uphill a little for a fun farmer's market.
  
  The property management is first rate.
  
  We can't wait to return!

  a guest from Thousand Oaks, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Beautifully furnished, quiet, great street, convenient location, professionally managed, great parking. Location is perfect for exploring the west side of the island. Snorkeling and diving right off the back of the house. Back Lanai is full of comfortable furniture - outdoor couch, 4 comfortable chairs, table for 6. All kinds of kitchen equipment and enough dishes and cutlery tor a family of 4. Friendly neighbors, safe, shaded street to walk and bike on. Plenty of fluffy beach towels. And even a few house geckos to greet us. Convenient grocery shopping. 2 Papayas provided an excellent guide book with extremely current and helpful tips. We appreciated the filled fruit bowl on arrival!! We rent a lot of houses - this is one of those few rentals that is actually better than the photos. Absolute perfection.

  Marilyn and Richard B from Kingstonq, Ontario recommends this vacation rental

  If you are searching to escape the noise and madness of the modern world then look no further. Blue Makai is the place for you. From the lanai, located a few feet from the ocean, you can watch the waves play games with the beach features. Puako is perfectly located close to numerous sandy beaches; access to stores to fill your pantry; walking trails and, if you wish, various options to dine out.

  House was perfect for a week get away! Very secluded, we saw only 3 people all week. And if you want to see turtles, this is the spot. Every night there were 5-10 turtles on the beach sleeping. During the day we had at least one that was swimming near us. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!
