Great location with some food options and grocery store across the street within walking distance. As well as a snorkel rental store and surf store. And there's an ABC store next to it! Beach at the neighboring property great for water play, but not much smoothing right there. Short drive for snorkeling beaches. The rental was as pictured and well equipped! Kitchen had everything we needed, including olive oil and salt and pepper. Needs were comfortable. Rooms had ceiling fans, too. AC was appreciated for our July trip. I recommend it!

Absolutely an amazing vacation location. Great family friendly resort, with pool, hot tub, and putting green. It’s quiet and peaceful. Sitting on the porch was our favorite pastime. Also right next door great place to snorkel and see the turtles. Absolutely will return. Everything was clean and as described!

Great location, good-sized condo for 5 adults and 2 elementary school-aged kiddos, and very accommodating host! Tanya was super responsive before, during, and after our stay and even helped reunite our youngest guest with her prized cheetah stuffed animal that had been left behind. Lots of amenities that were great for kids (e.g., pools, mini golf course) and stocked with all the equipment needed for a beach day and putting. Great memories made! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Comfortable accommodation for our family. Appreciated the beach towels and cooler. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Staff at resort was kind, kids enjoyed pool, shuffleboard, and putting greens. The adjacent beach was nice for early morning coffee walks, swimming, and we obseved a seal sleeping there one morning. The grills were great. One shower is pretty tricky and the shower curtains and bed skirts need to be changed, but it was otherwise tidy.

The property was perfect for our family which included three adults and four children. We had a blast! We loved having access to the beaches, plus the enjoyment of the pool and hot tub. We also loved the cats, the frogs, and the lizards.

Dawn’s place is TOP NOTCH! We only had a 3 day stay before moving to another location and we wish we had stayed here the entire time! So much quieter than the bigger resort style condos. If you don’t need the food and beverage amenities of a big resort, this is the place to stay!! We loved this unit and will return in the future if available. The bed was so comfortable, amazing down pillows, A/C was very great and kept the place cool along with the ceiling fans, great kitchen amenities. Couldn’t ask for a better stay. Immediate, wonderful communication from Dawn. Thank you!!

We just spent 2 weeks at this property and loved it! The view is amazing, the property is beautiful and well maintained, and the pools were great! We really liked the area as well. It’s a little north of the crazy busy part of Kaanapali, but very centrally located to restaurants and beaches! The unit was clean, well equipped, and had a great A/C system. We would absolutely recommend this place and will stay there again when we return to Maui.

We had excellent communication with our host before and during our stay. The condo was perfect for our family. It was clean, well equipped, and close to beaches and great eateries. Thanks for a wonderful time, we are already planning on coming back.

As usual we lived our stay at Papakea! This unit worked for our group of 8 adults. Communication was quick. Unit had everything we needed including 6 beach chairs and 2 nice beach umbrellas, plenty of towels, beds were comfortable. Balcony had good seating and tables. Sunset views, quick elevator, close walk to store, coffee, food, beach walking path. Pool area was pleasant and staff were friendly.

Great space on the top floor! Very clean and comfortable. Beds were good. The condo is as described with rattan furniture and pullout slightly dated but that is why it’s more affordable. Was perfect for us with an amazing view and AC in this unit was great! The grounds are beautiful and the grounds crew work all day to maintain it. The sea wall is a great place to watch the sunset. Walk 3 minutes next door to enjoy the beach. A lot of beach gear was there to use which was an unexpected bonus! Go to Papi Ohani for the most amazing cinnamon roll, Java jazz for great drinks and good, penny’s has great breakfast sandwiches and lattes, and food trucks area great option for dinner on a slow night.Thanks for a great stay!

Have stayed in multiple spots up the west side of Maui over the years, this may have been the nicest spot (and the price was really, really good). Great space, great amenities, great location, great cats walking around that need pets lol. Communication was excellent with the owners on little things that popped up. Zero complaints and would gladly stay again.

We stayed 4th floor. Oceanfront, less than 2 minute walk to beautiful beach. Any unit on property would be great, if further to beach then closer to shopping, market, ABC store, great local, eatery spots and food trucks. Room was fully stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, ice chests of various sizes for beach use. Could have used a few more beach towels but washer and dryer on site for use. Definitely would book here again and again! The loft was amazing with a large bed, dresser, and full bathroom. The layout is great, the pictures I will say understate the living areas and bedrooms but slightly overstate the kitchen. It is functional, but small. But it has a lot of stuff making cooking a breeze on site!

The Papakea Resort was immaculate and beautiful! We’ve stayed in the resort about 21 months ago and it did not disappoint again! The views from A407 are amazing and we would certainly recommend this condo to anyone who wants what Maui is truly about…..A407 has everything you need for a wonderful vacation and highly recommend this property for anyone looking for great memories!

The unit is well stocked with beach chairs, toys, towels, full kitchen to cook a great meal. The property is a 2 minute walk to a great beach, bbq’s on site to use, pool and hot tub are large and neighbors are respectful. It’s a great spot to watch the sun set and open the windows and doors at night to hear the ocean waves. If there’s any drawbacks is that I wish it had a vacuum to clean up sand after many days and beach trips, and the AC while great for the main living areas doesn’t cool the bedrooms down too much. There are ceiling and standing fans which were great tho so we did sleep comfortably, just a note if that’s something you’re very sensitive to. Overall loved the location- walked to food trucks and the market and super easy for ride share pickups too. We’d definitely stay here again!!

We had a great stay at Lura's place! We've stayed at several Papakea units and this ranks among the best. Incredibly clean, updated and just as described. Well stocked kitchen and quality items all around. Lura is kind, responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend and would come back! And Papakea is a prime location for Papi Ohana's cinnamon rolls in the morning:)

Everything was mostly great!! The neighbor in 308 was not the nicest and most easy to deal with neighbor, though. The views are beautiful and the breeze is so nice when the lanai is open. It was a great location and close to everything we needed! Not any condiments in the fridge or many cooking supplies. We had to buy alot on our own. Overall, we would love to stay here again! Pool and spa were also a big plus!

Reviewer Comments:
everything about the rental was wonderful. we rented this place 3 years ago as well.. We went with a group of 10 families and unfortunately 3 of our kids got attacked by a group of 25 kids in the whalers village. I can send you the news articles if you did not see them. It is really sad that we no longer feel safe there.

Lovely place to stay that does not feel like a resort but offers resort amenities. Great host whose place has everything you need to enjoy your stay: kitchen stuff, beach towels, snorkel gear, games/books, etc. Walking distance to food trucks/bakeries/coffee shop/groceries.

This unit was as described and pictured (I just wonder why there are no towel bars in the bathroom?) The AC unit made a funny noise but kept the unit cool despite the direct afternoon sun. (Must keep curtains closed in the afternoons). The kitchen was well appointed with everything needed to cook or make cocktails. Would stay again!

This property in Papakea Resorts was wonderful! Very clean. There was plenty of room and beds for a family of 5. Beautiful ocean views from the main bedroom and lania. The place has boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkeling gear and everything you need for a day at the beach. Easy beach access from the property. There is the resort pool nearby. Beautiful nightly sunsets. Brian the property owner/ manager answered all my questions and emails promptly. We would come back again.

I have been coming to Papakea since I was a little girl and now enjoy bringing my family back when possible. This unit was spacious and clean with an amazing oceanfront view. The property is well-maintained, quiet and family friendly. The unit itself has everything you need for your stay. We found everything to be as pictured and described in the listing. We had the most magical time during our visit and highly recommend Papakea and this unit for your stay.

A wonderful condo! Beautiful view of the ocean. The grounds and pool were were constantly being cleaned and maintained. A great condo for our group. Just an awareness mention...It was fine for our adult kids, but the stairs to the loft are extremely steep.

This was our second time staying in this condo! It was great for my daughters and their friends. Everyone had plenty of room. The check-in process was super easy and the condo was clean upon arrival. We especially loved the beautiful views from the living room and kitchen- made cooking and cleaning enjoyable. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed. The unit is close to parking, yet quiet. We did have a couple of questions and the communication with Jamie was easy. I received answers in a timely manner. While the condo doesn’t have split unit a/c, the wall unit and fans kept it comfortable in the evenings! Our stay was excellent and I can’t wait to return!

This was an excellent unit to stay in at Papakea Resort. We enjoyed the beautiful ocean views and sunset views from the lanai. The lanai was a great place to read each morning and eat each evening. The unit was close to the pool, beach boardwalk, shuffleboard court, and small putting course. The bamboo shades kept the condo cool in the family room when the sliding glass door was closed. While there was no air conditioning, the ceiling fans and oscillating table fans kept it cool at night. The Murphy bed in the family room was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked, as was the closet full of beach items. We enjoyed using the quality "backpack style" Tommy Bahama beach chairs and the sturdy boogie boards. The waves in front of the Westin at Kaanapali were perfect for boogie boarding. We did not use them, but the owners also provided a beach umbrella, towels, coolers, beach toys, snorkel gear, sunblock/bug spray, puzzles, books, etc. We would definitely stay here again! We've been to Papakea several times and love it. We also love unit B304. The front desk held our luggage the morning of check out until we left the island in the evening. Papakea is a short walk to the bus stop, Times Supermarket, ABC store, and a food truck lot. We took the bus to Whalers Village (and then walked to a number of hotels and beaches for snorkeling), Napili Bay, and Lahaina Cannery Mall). It's the perfect location for an extended vacation. Mahalo for your hospitality!
