• Apr 01, 2025 Perfect Maui Condo Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a perfect vacation destination. The condo is gorgeous. You have direct access to two amazing beaches. There are 6 Weber grills by the pool adjacent to the room. You are walking distance to a grocery store and plenty of dining options as well as an AVIS if you want to rent a car. This was an absolutely awesome experience. I have been to Maui several times, and this was by far my favorite experience. Show more Show less Adam T.

• Apr 01, 2025 Fantastic View Condo This is our 4th stay at this resort and this was the best yet. We really loved this ground floor condo with easy access to the pool and an amazing view. The lanai is awesome, with a table and four chairs, and a very comfy lounger. It was a great place for watching whales all week! One of the best parts was that we didn’t even need to leave the couch in the living room in order to see the whales. You just look out the large sliders, and there they were! They had several very nice beach chairs and lots of large comfy beach towels. Shower is awesome and the king size bed was very comfortable. Will definitely stay here again! Thank you Megan and team for being so welcoming and attentive! Show more Show less Lori M.

• Apr 01, 2025 Wonderful Getaway! My husband and I recently spent a week at this lovely getaway for our 10th anniversary. The size of the condo and the location was perfect. I appreciated all of the little touches throughout the condo that help set this property apart from others - an arrival gift, sulphate free shampoo, chairs and towels for the beach, etc. Communication was fast and the location just steps away from the beach was stunning. We enjoyed watching the sunset every night on the lanai. What are you waiting for?? Show more Show less Courtney S.

The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of closet space and drawers to store clothes if needed. The bathroom was sufficient and was supplied with plenty of soft towels. We used the beach chairs and the snorkeling gear. The view from the sliding doors was lovely. Spent most of our time exploring around the island, but the grounds and the pool were nice. It’s the perfect location for exploring West Maui. It was the perfect place for two! Show more Show less Dave W.

• Apr 01, 2025 Papakea B105 This condo was wonderful. The listing pictures match the condo itself. The condo was comfortable, clean, up-to-date and well equipped with everything I needed. The little welcome gift was very thoughtful. The view of the ocean was gorgeous. The pool, BBQ area and putting green are just steps from the lanai. Multiple family members stayed in different condos on the property, but mine was used as the family dinner place due to the great location. The property itself was beautiful and well maintained. The check-in and check-out process was very easy. The "snowbirds" who stay here made Papakea feel like a cozy community with many people on their balconies or lanais having dinner, chatting, and playing card games. The only suggestion I would give is to have an outside lock on the lanai sliding door. I found myself wanting to use it the most, but wasn't able to because I couldn't lock the condo. I only gave the property management 2 stars because they did not respond or acknowledge either the text or email I sent. It was not a big deal, but would have been polite. Otherwise this place was great. I would definitely stay here again. Show more Show less Jamie B.

Being right next to the ocean, hearing the waves, and witnessing the sheer size of the adjacent island, we enjoyed breakfast every day on the patio. The condo is also within walking distance to some of the best restaurants and beaches on the island of Maui, and a very short drive to world-class golf and snorkeling, too.

• Apr 01, 2025 Beautiful Condo at a Considerable Premium Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed at Papakea at least 7 times over the past decade -- and at B105 for 4 out of the past 7 years. (Sadly, the pandemic forced an unwelcome 2-year hiatus.) I've always enjoyed staying at Papakea. It is low-key, conveniently located and never feels over-crowded like the larger resorts. The grounds and views are spectacular. The resort has its quirks, including an inconsistent service level at the registration desk, but that is usually the only hiccup experienced. (And, I found it much improved in 2022!) While I enjoy the appointments and amenities found in B105, the unit is now under new ownership and prices have increased significantly. Based on the published rates on the Hawaii Life website, if I were to return in 2023, my 9-night stay would cost nearly $3,000 more than what I paid in 2020 (after fees and taxes), and about $2,000 more than the 2023 rates for a comparable rental in Building G. While the new owners and management company did a wonderful job of making me feel welcome, ensuring an easy check-in process and accommodating my request for a late check out, I cannot justify reserving my favorite unit at such a premium. Alas, I fear this may be the end of an era ... With that said, if you can afford the rate and additional charges (taxes, fees and refundable deposits bring the nightly rate for a 9-night stay up to $570 rather than $400), I highly recommend B105.

There’s nothing I would change about the property itself or the booking process. We would’ve stayed longer if our next reservation would’ve allowed us to cancel without a charge. Property owners are in much communication with you. Neighbors at rental are great as well. Fantastic views you will see mini whales. Many amenities to offer. Great food within walking location. Fully stocked kitchen, washer and dryer were great to have. Sunsets and roses are amazing. Can’t wait to stay again. Show more Show less Cameron H.
• Apr 01, 2025 Lovely Papakea Ground Level Unit Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to Papakea for more than a decade. We love this unit due to the ground-level location and orientation to the water. It's easy to watch whales directly from the living room. The access to the seawall, grills, pool, and putting greens is so convenient. The unit itself is beautifully remodeled and appointed. The kitchen is the most spacious well-stocked kitchen we've come across. If you love to cook, this is your unit! The mini-splits in both the living room and bedroom make for a good night's sleep on those occasional days when climate control is necessary. Papakea B105 will forever be our favorite!

• Apr 01, 2025 Perfect! We loved everything about our stay at Papakea. The condo was perfect. Very clean and fully stocked with everything you could need. The bed was very comfortable. We loved being able to walk out the lanai and be right on the beach or pool. This resort was spacious and not over crowded the way some others were even though I suspect they were at full capacity. We did not need to worry if there would be chairs available around the pool. Loved it and I would definitely stay here again. Show more Show less Kelly B.
• Apr 01, 2025 Fantastic stay! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in B105. This condo is clean, beautifully decorated and stocked with all essential items. The master bedroom was very comfortable and tranquil. My kids slept well on the pull out couch. It was wonderful to have an AC unit in both the master and living rooms at nighttime. During the day, we kept the screen doors open and enjoyed the ocean breeze. This condo has an amazing view of the ocean and we enjoyed sitting on the patio each evening watching the beautiful sunset. The grounds at papakea are stunning and meticulously maintained. We enjoyed a short walking distance to many essentials- grocery store, fish market, ABC store, food trucks and of course, the ocean!

• Apr 01, 2025 Even better than the listing! My partner and I just enjoyed a week-long stay at this wonderful condo at the Papakea resort, and our entire experience was 100%! From the communications with Ivy, to how clean and well-appointed the property is, we have nothing but great things to say about our stay and can't wait to go back. We loved being at ground level, and strolling right out to the pool or the ocean, and for stargazing at night. The unit was eat-off-the-floor clean, and stocked with all the kitchen, bathroom, and beach supplies you could ever need. There's plenty of parking and it's an easy stroll to the ABC store, some restaurants, shops, and a pop-up food truck lot. Huge thanks to Ivy and Jim for sharing their Maui home with us!

The view from the lanai is great, shaded in the morning with an amazing view and sun in the afternoon. To top it all off, the best part of our stay was the owners, Ivy and Jim.

• Apr 01, 2025 Loved our stay at Papakea in Ivy's condo We loved our stay at Papakea in Ivy's incredible condo. From pre booking to post check out, Ivy was always so helpful and responsive in her communications with us. Her condo unit is outstanding, very nicely furnished with excellent upgrades, a great kitchen, and so well stocked you feel like your at home. It is also in likely the best location in the complex, with close by parking, beautiful sunset views from the ground floor lanai, easy access to the pool and BBQs, and so close to the beautiful lawn area and loungers over looking the stunning West Maui ocean, with incredible views of Molokai'i and Lanai. The condo is a very short walk to the terrific little beach making it so easy to go for ocean swims and snorkeling. We saw several turtles swimming by from our loungers. We are long time West Maui visitors and have stayed in several different locations throughout the yrs, and Ivy's condo was perfect for our stay. And with Ivy's fantastic condo comes the many great features of staying at Papakea. We loved Papakea's quietness, it's nicely landscaped open spaces, ponds and very large and well maintained lawn areas. Checking in and out was a breeze, and all the staff were a pleasure to deal with. There are also morning water exercise classes and yoga at the pool. Other great benefits staying at Papakea are it's close proximity to nearby restaurants, gas station, ABC Store, Times Market, and the Honokowai Food Trucks. We can easily recommend staying at Ivy's Papakea condo without hesitation, and are so glad we booked it for our week stay. We enjoyed it so much, we've mentioned to Ivy that we want to book it again for 2020. Check it out, you'll be glad you did. Mahalo Ivy for a such a fantastic stay at your Papakea condo, we loved it.

• Apr 01, 2025 Paradise revisited.. yet again! This is our 4th time staying at delightful B105. Just when you think it cannot get any better it does! The owners have added many delightful upgrades since our visit last year. To name a few, very functional and classy looking bamboo window coverings in the living room and shutters in the bedroom. The weather was very hot during our stay and with the trade winds and the shade/airflow the new window treatments afford we only used the air conditioner a few times. This condo is execeptionally well maintained and truly is such a delight to stay in. We stayed at three other condos in previous years and they were very pleasant but this condo is exceptional. We are already booked for next year and look forward to returning to the beautiful Papakea resort and staying at B105. Ivy is such an attentive, thoughtful and nice person.

• Apr 01, 2025 Comfortable We have been coming to Papakea Resort for many years. This unit was our favorite. Well appointed. Did not need the AC except a couple of afternoons. A huge upgrade from the old units. My wife is short and getting into the very comfortable bed was a bit of a task when you are 78 years old. Beautiful view of ocean from the lanai. The Swedes sure make an interesting washer and dryer. Remodeling was very nice. Even the bamboo curtains which must have been a bit on the spendy side. We hope to return next year, God willing. The shower had some mildew and the floor needed painting. Show more Show less David L.

• Apr 01, 2025 Fantastic self contained apartment We have just spent a week staying at this wonderful condo at Papakea Resort. The condo itself is recently updated and has all the amenities needed to make it your ‘home away from home’. The Papakea Resort, although a little dated, has everything needed for a fun and/or relaxing vacation. There are no restaurants or bars onsite, but there are plenty only a short walk away. Plus there is a large variety of shops just across the road - cafes, supermarket, ABC store etc. It is a short drive to Lahaina in one direction, and to Kapalua/Napili in the opposite direction. Ivy, the owner, was very responsive to our needs and was extremely prompt in answering any of our queries. If we are ever fortunate enough to return to Maui, we know where we will be staying!

We had such a terrific time that we are booked again for next year! This ground floor unit is just delightful to stay in and the owners keep it in pristine condition. It is even better than described. This year it was a treat to see and experience all the new replacements, additions and improvements that were done since our stay last year.

• Apr 01, 2025 Papakea (and Maui) call to our souls We figured it out. My husband and I have been coming to Maui for 34 out of our 40 years together and probably at least 20 times have we stayed at Papakea. For years we were devotees of unit A105 but as we either needed more sleeping beds or a different layout, we have stayed in other buildings and uniits, experimenting with views, building floors and directions to take advantage of the trades. May I say that I think we may have found THE ONE. B-105 has the perfect combo of view of the ocean, situated to take advantage of the ocean breezes and outfitted with such care and style I don’t think that the high-end hotels on the island could do any better. Ground floor unit so walk right out to the pool area and bbq’s or just a few more steps to the ocean. The sunsets are spectacular and you have the option of watching from the comfort of your lanai or joining the groups at the waters edge. The b-105 unit has a totally awesome king bed and there are extra pillows tucked away in the closet. Should the trades die down there is an air conditioner in the bedroom which is unusual for the Papakea units. We never had to use ours as the breeze as more than sufficient to keep us cool. The Murray’s have thought of every detail to make a visit so easy from beach towels to hair dryer, curling iron and straightening iron. Laundry soap and a variety of spices in the kitchen mean that you almost only need pack the swimsuits and flip flops to be good to go! Oh and the “activity” closet is packed with everything from books and games to putters, golf balls, boogie boards and sand buckets. My only regret is that b-105 is apparently not a well kept secret as looking at the availability calender will show. It if your dates fit, snap this unit up! The tranquility of Papakea, the proximity to the best fish market in West Maui and to the beautiful beaches nearby make this complex and this unit a keeper. We will be back as quickly as we can secure dates! Show more Show less Nancy D.
• Apr 01, 2025 Updated, clean, and comfortable one bedroom condo at the Papakea. We have stayed at different 1, 2 , and 3 bedroom condos at the Papakea over the years and this one ranks highly. Owners care about your stay by contacting their renters soon after arrival with any concerns you may have. We appreciated the welcome gift of fresh fruit and jellies. It's is helpful to leave spices and cooking non perishable supplies behind so renters do not have to go out and purchase them . This condo had these supplies. This is one of the reasons I prefer renting from the owner and not a rental from a real estate company who never touches base to welcome their renters or to inquire if the renters have concerns or questions concerning their stay. Thank you Ivy for feedback on the wall decoration. I highly recommend this one bedroom. The Papakea is one of our favourite places due to its location, cleanliness, beautiful trees and flowers, and friendly staff. Once again thank you to the Murrays for allowing us into your vacation home. Dwayne and Judy from Saskatchewan Show more Show less Judy L.

• Apr 01, 2025 It is absolutely beautiful, the grounds are so green and kept up. We loved walking around Papakea, close to everything on the west side of Maui. Everyone there was friendly. The sunsets are amazing, just sitting on the loungers relaxing for them was the best! Show more Show less Samantha H.
• Apr 01, 2025 Great Location We have stayed at Papakea resort now a few times, we love this resort. This was our first time staying on the first floor, I have to say we loved it. This condo B105 is nicely decorated and it was wonderful to be so close to the pool and the views from the lanai were amazing. The owners were easy to communicate and deal with. We can't wait to return. Show more Show less Jaime M.
• Apr 01, 2025 Wonderful Stay at Papakea The condo was excellent and even better than described! We enjoyed being able to walk straight out of the unit to either use the pool or watch the sunset over the ocean. It was also stocked with chairs, towels, coolers, and umbrellas that were great to have for our trips to the beach. Everything else you could need is within a walk or couple minute drive from the condo. We would highly recommend staying at this property! Show more Show less Ryan M.
• Apr 01, 2025 Sunsets from the Lanai Such a beautiful condo in a great location! We loved the ground floor and having the ability to walk straight out onto the Papakea grounds. The condo itself was extremely clean with all the amenities that you may need from cooking to enjoying your day at the beach. It is within walking/running distance of the boardwalk that runs along kaanapali beach, which we definitely took advantage of in the mornings. We enjoyed sitting out on the lanai in the evenings and watching the sunsets. Definitely would recommend. Show more Show less Diana F.
• Apr 01, 2025 Another wonderful stay at B105! This is our second stay at this lovely unit. It is just as delightful as last year. Please look at my review dated May 10, 2016 as it fits for this stay too! Since our stay last year the unit has been meticulously maintained and a new air conditioning system has been installed. We do not use the air conditioner much because the trade winds cool the unit down quite nicely however when we did need it, it worked very fast, efficiently and quietly. We had such a wonderful stay that we are booked again at B105 for next year! It has been such a pleasure dealing with Ivy she is very quick to respond and her follow up is excellent. Thank you Ivy.

• Apr 01, 2025 Excellent Condo, Owner, and Vacation! This was the first time I have used VRBO and the first time I have been to Hawaii. I was slightly worried how things would go but I will gladly say this was one of the best experiences I've had! First, this condo is exactly as presented. It is NOT run down and there were absolutely no issues. It is clean, updated and nicely appointed. It is a very decent size, which was originally a bit of a concern when I first booked as we have 2 very young children. It turned out to be more than sufficient as it has a pullout and we rented a crib from a place just down the street (very convenient). Being on ground level is where you want to be. We were able to have the kids cruise around right outside the porch area. It is immediately adjacent to the pool, putting green, hot tub and barbeques. The unit has putters, balls, all newer appliances, knee boards, toys for kids, umbrellas for the beach, etc. The walk in shower is perfect. The unit has a/c and ceiling fans. Being from Canada, our kids are not used to the heat, so we kept things a bit cooler. There not much of a beach in front of the resort, but we knew that in advance, and there's plenty of beaches within short walking distance. We spent much of the time around the pool so that wasn't an issue. They are working on the beach retaining wall but there was NO construction noise and we barely noticed. The only thing we heard was the crashing waves at night and that was a welcome sound. The resort itself is very well kept. It has everything you need and is overall very nice . At the same time this place is significantly less expensive than pretty much any other resort or unit in the area. Beth (the owner/contact) was excellent. We couldn't have had a better experience. She answered any questions or concerns I had immediately. She is kind, professional and timely. I wound highly recommend this unit/resort to anyone coming to Maui. This unit would be perfect for a couple, 2 couples, or a family of 4. Thanks again Beth for making our first trip to Hawaii a great experience! (The incredible weather didn't hurt things either.)

• Apr 01, 2025 Lovely updated one-bedroom Papakea Condo My husband and I spent the month of December in this nice unit. It was perfect for us in every way and the ground-floor location made for easy access to Papakea's grounds and amenities. The owners are pleasant and very easy to work with. We will definitely go back! Show more Show less Margo B.
• Apr 01, 2025 This is a nice more traditional style low rise resort. This was a great condo with everything you could possibly need. The unit was well presented, nicely decorated with good quality inclusions. Nice big quality beach and bath towels. The air conditioning was great but we prefered to just use the fans. The resort is also well maintained with beautifully manicured grounds and facilities. It is also very conveniently located to shops, an ABC store at the edge of the resort, and a Times supermarket across the road. We also walked to Duke's one night for dinner and although the location was amazing with a nice ambience, the food was disappointing . We loved being on the ground level but unfortunately the work on the seawall is still ongoing and is behind schedule, hey they work on Hawaiian time, so the view was blocked by the fencing which I was told will probably be there until December. The only hiccup in an otherwise great holiday. Would certainly recommend this resort and this condo, thanks Beth and friends. Show more Show less Narelle & Peter P.
• Apr 01, 2025 Excellent unit. Modern, clean and well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay at B105 Papakea. The unit was well furnished and clean and the ground floor location was very convenient for accessing the mini golf, pool & shuffle board directly out front. The unit has been updated so is very tidy. The kitchen is brilliant and the shower is lovely. In suite laundry is a terrific bonus. Air conditioning worked efficiently. We put garbage bags up on the bedroom windows to darken the room for our toddler's naps - but otherwise, the suite was near perfect. Only thing we found missing in the cupboards was a wine corkscrew! FYI - Papakea has two sets of facilities. Directly in front of B105, the pool is quite cool. If you walk the short distance to the other pool it is significantly warmer. Perfect temp in our opinion. There is construction on the Seawall in front of our unit but we barely noticed. It was very quiet and our toddler loved seeing a digger everyday. A Seawall links Papakea with the neighbouring hotels and resorts and we found this incredibly convenient as our friends and family were staying nearby. There is a north car exit/entrance just outside our unit block which provides a shortcut to the ABC shop next door. A great option for a sudden requirement. Otherwise Times grocery, Slappy Cakes and a few other key amenities are a 5 minute walk beyond the main entrance. A wonderful holiday. A perfect spot. Thank you Beth & co.

• Apr 01, 2025 The cleanest and most luxorious condo in papakea I've been staying at the papakea resort for years. I have rented many 1-2 bedroom condos. This unit by far was the cleanest and the most modern unit by far. The owners were awesome to deal with. We had a minor hiccup upon check up but the owners were on top of it and willing to go above and beyond to fix the problem. When we come back to papakea we will be staying here for sure.

• Apr 01, 2025 Wonderful condo with a lovely view! My husband and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary this year and we had a fabulous time in Maui!! We were so glad we chose this condo. The condo is exactly as described and shown. The bed is very comfortable. The condo has an airconditioner but we did not use it as the condo is cleverly designed to take advantage of the trade winds and they cool it down quite nicely. The condo is tastefully updated, everything is in perfect condition and it is spotless. The kitchen has all you need to prepare just about any meal. We were delighted to have beach chairs and a great Tommy Bahamas beach umbrella provided as we are always at the beach. The Papakea resort is so well maintained and the gardens are spectacular. The view from the condo is very lovely and peaceful. It is within walking distance to grocery stores and great coffee shops. Beth is a treat to work with very helpful and quick to respond. I highly recommend this property we liked it so much we are coming back to stay next year! Show more Show less Jennifer I.
• Apr 01, 2025 Perfect Condo We stayed for 5 weeks and it was all we hoped for! I miss it already. The Condo was both modern and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The king size bed was very comfortable and the pull out, when used, was also great. From the lanai we could both see and hear the ocean waves crashing - and hearing the ocean is even better than seeing it! We loved being on the ground floor - making it easy to walk out to the pool, BBQs, shuffleboard and mini-golf. Friends of ours stayed in other units and all agreed ours was the best one.

• Apr 01, 2025 Family vacation for three! This condo was perfect for our family vacation. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay including a beautifully remodeled, well stocked(pots, pans, etc)kitchen for eating in. The property has many amenities including pool/hot tub, propane grills, shuffle board, mini golf, beach access and also an awesome activities concierge, Ululani. She was fantastic in helping plan our island activities. There are grocery stores, snorkel shops, coffee, fresh fish/fruit markets all with in easy walking distance. And a short drive to some incredible restaurants in Lahaina or Kapalua. Sensei Sushi was delicious! So relaxing to sit on the patio at the end of the day and watch the sun set. We highly recommend this condo! Will return soon:) Show more Show less Ann L.
• Apr 01, 2025 Beautiful condo and views! A beautifully remodeled condo with an amazing view of the water and Moloka'i! Our children loved the pool and enjoyed the putting green course, which both were right outside our sliding glass door. The lanai was perfect for enjoying meals and sunsets. We would definitely return, and hope it will be sooner than later.:) Show more Show less John N.
• Apr 01, 2025 Honeymoon Trip! We arrived at Papakea B105 on Saturday, December 27, 2014 for our honeymoon. As soon as we walked into the condo, we were blown away. The kitchen was immaculate and featured new stainless appliances and a large breakfast bar with seating. The shower and bathroom facilities were equally luxurious. In fact, we started talking about how we wanted to re-model our own bathroom to match the one we saw. The condo was on the ground level, which was great and provided easy access to a putting green, shuffleboard, and large pool and hot tub right outside (maybe 50 feet away). The view of the ocean was incredible from the second we walked outside. The view is spectacular! The pool also had a cabana where on Thursday we enjoyed some drinks provided by the resort. We went during a busy time in Maui, however, it did not feel like this. I was amazed by how much room we had wherever we went. Lounging chairs were always available! With Whaler’s Village being 4 miles away, we decided to trek on the beach and see if we could make it. It was a wonderful walk there and back. Some of the time was beach walk, but for the most part it was a boardwalk and wonderful to have the ocean right at our feet. Right across the street from the main entrance was a strip mall with several neat places to eat and drink, one of which was called Java Jazz, where we had breakfast and coffee. To the left of the main entrance there is Fish Market Maui, which had the best fish tacos we have ever had. The Farmer’s Market is to the left a couple blocks down on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We discovered fresh local produce, and the best avocados we have ever had. Samples were generously given so that you could taste everything before buying it. Our other favorite was the passion fruit cream cheese and freshly baked bagels. The condo was so clean and exceeded our expectations. The king size bed was perfect for just the two of us. Next time though, we will have two more people with us and we are excited to be sleeping on the brand new pull out couch. We loved our stay here and will be back. We would not hesitate to recommend this condo to any of our friends that will be vacationing to Maui. Show more Show less Kevin E.

• Apr 01, 2025 Best place to stay in Maui! Our family was amazed how clean and fresh the unit is. I've read a lot of not so good reviews on some units at Papakea but this one is definitely not! 10/10 in terms of cleanliness, amenities and location on the resort. Can see the pool and ocean and sunset from the porch. King-sized bed is so comfortable, there's also a queen-sized sofa bed at the living room. Kitchen is so well-equipped, in-suite laundry and dryer was a big help, and after a day's adventure, the 2 airconditioners in the living room and the bedroom totally lulls you to a complete rest and relaxation ready for next day's adventure. Megan and the Stice team are so accommodating and easy to speak with. Kudos to the team and the unit owners for such a beautiful unit and giving our family an amazing stay!
