This is one of the best spots on Maui & a great way to support local businesses as Maui recovers. Easy access to anywhere you want to go, and close to shopping, beach and snorkeling. Snorkel in Kapalua, or go for a little hike - it's all a short ride away.

Condo Features: King memory foam bed, Queen sofa sleeper, Keurig, dishes, linens, air conditioning, TV in living room & bedroom, snorkel gear, boogie board, beach chairs, child booster seat, fully stocked kitchen utensils & appliances.

From the living room and lanai, enjoy the ocean view across the beautiful gardens of Papakea. Just below your 3rd floor lanai, one of several Koi ponds on the property. You're just high enough to hear the fountains, but muffle other typical resort noise.

The oceanfront resort has lush lawns and chairs for enjoying the sunshine. Two swimming pools, 2 hot tubs, putting greens, shuffleboards, cabanas.

This one bedroom unit has been completely renovated with updated cabinets, granite countertops, newer appliances, zone air conditioning, double sliding doors to the deck. Beautiful furniture with the Hawaiian feel. Bathroom with walk-in shower. Bedroom has a newer King bed, plus a dresser and ample closet storage for your relaxing vacation. If you need extra space for guests, the couch offers a pull out queen bed for more sleeping space.

Everything else you need to feel right at home is at your fingertips. Fully stocked kitchen (you bring your own groceries). Everything you need to use the BBQ grills on the property for your lunch or dinner. Washer/dryer in the unit allows you to pack a little lighter without having to worry about hotel 'laundry'. Cleaners will come in after your stay, or if you would like a cleaner to come through during your stay, just ask and we can arrange that (for an extra fee).

Our third floor home away from home is just off the elevator for easy access to everywhere you need to go, but set far enough away you won't even hear it. Parking is just outside the C building.

You can truly make yourself at home in this home away from home.
At check in there is a $17 per night resort fee (for a maximum of 10 nights per month) It is paid directly to the resort at check in

Papakea resort was great! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained with views of the ocean throughout. We enjoyed and pool, mini golf and shuffle board courts as well as the communal BBQs. There wasn’t a beach onsite but the edge of Kanapali Beach was within walking distance and another beach with playground on the other side that our toddler really enjoyed. The condo itself was nice and well maintained. We really appreciated all of the beach equipment in the unit - all the way from sand castle supplies to snorkels, fins and a boogie board. The resort had enough people and other kids to feel lively but was not overly busy.

We really enjoyed our stay in this unit! The unit was very well equipped for a comfortable stay, including beach cooler, snorkel gear, floaties, boogie board and beach chairs. The kitchen has more than expected, including some spices, to-go containers, Ninja blender, alum. foil, etc. The hosts provide all the necessary supplies to enjoy a great stay (paper towel, soaps, washer pods, dryer sheets, etc)! The views from the lanai are gorgeous and the koi pond fountain outside is lovely. We traveled with two teens and they slept very well on the pull out sofa bed. They even commented on how comfortable it was! We had an issue with the kitchen sink backing up and the hosts were prompt and responsive; a plumber fixed the issue within 24 hours. The hosts go above and beyond to offer suggestions for local eateries, activities and scenic locations, which we really appreciated. It is clear the hosts want visitors to have a pleasant and comfortable experience in their condo, and we definitely did! Papakea is just a few minutes drive away from so many great beaches (note: no beach directly out front of resort) and we loved to hop in the car to explore our next adventure! We would definitely recommend Papakea C305 to others!

This condo was exactly as pictured. Very clean, close to restaurants, very nice resort that the kids loved. We especially loved that this condo was stocked with everything we needed for the beach.

My family goes to Maui once a year and this is by far the nicest place we have stayed! The resort was stunning and well maintained. Our vrbo was so cute and was completely stocked with everything you wouldn't think of packing. Thanks so much!

My sister, niece and I planned this long awaited trip for months and it did not disappoint! Maui was everything we hoped it would be and the condo was amazing! The location and amenities were perfect! The condo had absolutely everything you would need in accommodations. The only thing we need to pick up was groceries and beverages. Thank you Jamie for sharing your beautiful condo with us. We will be back again someday soon. :) We totally recommend staying here. Aloha from Judy, Robina and Tiffany!

The room was beautiful and we wanted for nothing. Everything we needed to enjoy the property was supplied in the condo. All we needed to bring was the food and drink. The location is perfect and close to everything we enjoy doing on Maui. Already thinking about another trip and Papakea is where we will be staying. Had a little hic up in check in and had to call the owners. Unfortunately I woke them up (sorry) Everything was resolved. Thank you for helping make this a wonderful vacation. :)

Great location, very nice owner, very happy stay. Has everything you need to have a beach vacation. We will definitely book again in the future.

This property was better than listed. I was so surprised to find things like foil, ziplock bags, condiments beyond salt and pepper, laundry soap, beach chairs and snorkel gear, etc. It rained the majority of our stay but the condo was comfortable and had an incredible choice of tv channels, books, etc to enjoy the time. I was very pleased and Jamie was accessible if there were any problems. The only negative was the Resort Fee which I didn't see listed ( I could have missed it) I hate to pay those fees! We did go without water for about 10 hours and when I asked if they (Papakea staff) would remove at least 1 day of resort fee they said no I would have to work that out with Jamie. But that wasn't Jamie's fault. Anyway, I would definitely recommend this unit because overall it was just so comfortable and owners were great to work with!

We absolutely loved our stay. The condo had everything you could possibly need for a wonderful beach vacation. Communication with our hosts was perfect. If you have an opportunity to book this condo do so. A 10 star. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Scott & Jamie's condo - the condo was stocked with everything we needed for our two-week stay at Papakea! This is a great resort and their condo is beautiful and had everything we needed -- well stocked kitchen, lots of beach towels, chairs, snorkel equipment, putters for the putting courses, and all of these little things that show what great hosts they are. Their write-up of things to do and places to eat was great and we enjoyed many of them. We highly recommend this condo for a great vacation!

Spent our honeymoon here in Maui!! This has been a property we’ve stayed at multiple times and it is outstanding! A great location near all of our favorite beaches and restaurants. Jamie & Scott are always gracious hosts and take great care of their guests!! We will continue to come back to this great condo!

Fantastic property! We were so pleased with our stay that we ate already planning for trip back to Papakea resort next year. It’s a great place to relax or do the numerous activities that are available, it’s away from hustle and bustle but close to restaurants, grocery store, food truck park, right between Lahaina and kaanapali, the resort is well taken care of

We were blown away by this property, the views, and staff. This whole property was prestine and I did NOT want to leave. The owners thought of everything and no detail was missed (the aloe gel saved my life!). Mark my words... we will be back! Mahalo!

This resort and apartment is well maintained. There is everything you would need in the apartment including some spices and oil, blender etc. There are beach chairs, noodles, snorkels and other stuff for beach activities. The resort has very good beach view and pool(8ft deep at other end which is perfect). There is Times supermarket at walking distance which has all you would need. It is like Walmart there. Don't do to adjacent ABC store which sells everything for almost 3x price. We would prefer to stay here again.

All the amazing reviews from previous guests were right ! This place was perfect from the view to the grounds to the beach (steps down to enter) comfortable condo with everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay and my husband and I are ready to come back again next year. This was a great place to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.

First, this is a great place to stay and to check-in to. It was a very simple and easy process. The layout to the resort and to the room is fantastic and easy to navigate. The room is great and exactly as described. I really appreciate the recommendations that were given in the book for the local area. The resort is extremely family friendly, and the pool is great for days where you don't want to get salt water or sand on you. The property has a sea wall that goes out to the water, which I believe is a highlight of this place. It has curated grass and nice palm trees out to the edge of the sea wall. And it is really nice to sit in the morning or evening with the wind blowing and enjoy the scenery. This is definitely the best part of the resort. Going to the beach is an easy and quick 2 minute walk down the sea wall until you reach stairs that lead to the beach area. There's also a grocery store about 2 blocks down, so it's very easy to access for anything needed last minute, or if you're doing your own cooking. I would highly recommend this over any other locations in the Lahina area.

Its truly a home away from home and definitely our best vacation rental experience. The condo has everything you would need. The place is great, nicely decorated and Jamie has thought of absolutely everything to make sure you have a great time. Thanks Jamie for letting us stay at your awesome condo and we would love to return again.

Papakea is the perfect location to everything - wonderful eateries, shopping, coastal trails, beaches. This unit has a wonderful view of the lovely lily and Koi ponds with ocean in the distance. We enjoyed the short walk to the sea wall at sunrise and sunset to enjoy the view of Molokai and the whales breaching along the shore lines. The unit is also stocked with everything to make you feel like it is truly a home away from home. What a way to celebrate our anniversary! We will be back.

Great condo with all amenities included ranging from simple cookware to laundry machines. Jamie and Scott really thought of everything to make their guests comfortable. Also a perfect location not too far from everything we wanted to do, and really clean. Will definitely come back again when we come back to Maui!

The papakea is a beautiful place. The grounds and pool areas are extremely well kept, even in this difficult time to find employees. The unit is adorable, well stocked with snorkeling and beach gear. It is clean and so inviting. And the view to gaze at is terrific. Close to grocery, shopping and easy walking.

We now feel as though this condo is our home away from home! We thoroughly enjoyed our second visit, first trip two years ago. You have every kitchen gadget and beach supply you could ever think of. Makes it so convenient to just bring your suits, cover ups and sunscreen from home! This property is gorgeous, and may I say, the best view of the ponds, pool and beach! Thank you for yet another epic Maui family experience and memories!

Papakea is a wonderful place to stay. This was our second stay here and we can count on our condo being clean and all the amenities supplied for our stay. Papakea is centrally located to all activities and beaches. We enjoy hanging out here. You should never be bored.

What more can you ask for? The condo was clean, cool, beautiful, and fully stocked for anything you may need. The bed was comfy and the resort itself was beautiful. Close to great restaurants, snorkeling, and beautiful beaches. We will come back for our future Maui visits. Thank you!



July 2019
This is a really nice condo that has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners have been very thoughtful in designing and stocking the condo from amenities to a really useful Maui guide. One of the reviews lamented the lack of a/c in the bedroom, but there is an a/c unit in the living room and a ceiling fan in the bedroom, and we frankly just didn't find it to be an issue at all. The whole condo stayed as cool as we wanted it to and was comfortable the whole time. This was a last minute booking for us because one of our lodging plans unexpectedly fell through, so I really appreciated Jamie's really quick responses to questions and booking. I thought the communication was easy and I'd overall recommend this unit and property.

This was our 4th time staying at Papakea! We love the area, the grass area to watch the waves, boats, turtles, whales, snorkeler's, and of course, sunsets! C-305 was very clean, super comfortable bed, and very well equipped. The owners respond quickly to emails, left us a personal note and treats, and even checked in on us after our arrival. :-) It was a sad sad day when we had to leave!!

We recently rented Scott and Jamie's condo for two weeks and loved the experience. The setting of Papakea is so pretty, with the manicured grounds and koi ponds and fountains. The condo is well equipped and the bed is comfortable. The lanai has a nice view of the ocean, the pool area, and the great landscape. What more could you want? The unit is on the third floor and we watched whales every day during our visit. We made a ritual of going down to the lawn area by the seawall each evening to watch the sunset. Our first full day there was a bit rainy but the sunset that evening was spectacular. We had gorgeous color in the sky and then a bonus of a double rainbow! And we lucked out. That was our only rainy day during our two weeks. We enjoyed the pool area most days and we also utilized the BBQ grills there several times. The BBQ's are very nice ones and well kept. We also appreciated being very close to a grocery store and a number of restaurants. We will definitely recommend this rental to our friends!

We really felt at home in this unit and I would go back in a heartbeat. View was lovely from our lanai and enjoyed the fountains and ponds. The noise from the fountains blocks out any noise in the complex which was nice. Unit was spotless and they had lots of supplies for us to use. Some units you stay in give you just enough for a few days. Very well equipped unit. Really enjoyed "Alexa". Great for playing any kind of music you wanted. We use to stay in Kihei but found this area quieter and you can just walk out your door for groceries or something to eat. For sure we will be back.

It was beautiful inside and out. Hard to access a beach and no A/C in the bedroom will keep us from returning
