WATCH AND LISTEN TO THE WAVES CRASH WHILE YOU TAKE IN THE RELAXING SALTY FRAGRANCE OF THE OCEAN. IS IT TIME TO GET LOST ON VACATION WHERE YOU CAN ENJOY RAINBOWS, MOUNTAINS, TURTLES, KOI FISH, LUSH LANDSCAPING AND VIEWS ACROSS TO MOLOKAI! MAUI IS NOT JUST A TROPICAL ISLAND IT IS A LIFESTYLE.
Enjoy the open floor plan while you gaze out to sea or sip a cup of coffee in the morning while the rainbows start your day. Well equipped kitchen with NEW QUARTZ SLABS (March 2025, sorry no photos yet but gorgeous) and conversation bar, living room, dining area, and new LVP flooring throughout. Spacious bedroom, new interior paint remodeled bathroom (NEW QUARTZ SLABS INSTALLED MARCH 2025) with tub and newer furnishings and decorations throughout our home.
Our home away from home is located on the third floor (with elevator) providing expansive ocean and Molokai views, overlooks a gorgeous Koi Pond and finely manicured tropical landscaping.
Our condo is located in the Papakea Resort, and is located at 3543 Lower Honoapiilani Road, Maui, Hawaii. Papakea is between Kaanapali and Kapalua on the westside of Maui. Our unit comfortably sleeps four with king-size bed in the bedroom, and queen-size sofa bed in the living room. We also feature air conditioning, ceiling fans in living room and bedroom, hair dryer and a washer and dryer in the unit, for your comfort.
Our condo is situated in an oceanfront complex, which sits on thirteen acres of tropical landscape, accented by freshwater ponds and expansive lawns. It is great for families or a quaint getaway. Being located in Maui's popular Kaanapali area, near championship golf courses, a wonderful farmer's market (for fresh local fruit and produce), shopping and dining, makes this a 'high demand' vacation spot. The complex features a 24-hour manned lobby, concierge service for booking your outings, elevators for every building, luggage carts, two newly remodeled pool areas, with a Lanais at each location, along with twelve gas barbeques and patio furniture for your dining pleasure (six at each pool), two Jacuzzis, two 12-hole putting greens, with putter rentals at front desk (for a nominal fee), three lighted tennis courts and two shuffleboards. Papakea also features water aerobics and yoga classes, as well as a great putting contest throughout the week (see schedule at check-in).
There is so much more nearby including the upscale Whaler’s Village shopping center, which features upscale shopping and dining as well as the casual souvenir shopping, and it's located right on the beach. Just a quick car ride to ocean outings such as deep-sea fishing, whale watching tours, snorkeling cruises, and sunset sailing adventures, and world class golf (Kapalua Bay and Plantation Courses).
Speaking of Beaches, Maui is world famous for its beaches, and you will find that you can trek from the beach in front of our unit endlessly along the coastline.
We have an activity director in our lobby, which can assist you in booking endless fun, including luaus, whale watching tours, sailing, horseback riding, snorkeling, golf, biking down a volcano, wine tasting, fishing, jet skiing, windsurfing, surf lessons, etc.
We take pride in our home away from home and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Beautiful property, especially like the landscaping!

Great location, overall property was well maintained, the unit was very good, though several areas were overlooked in cleaning. I feel that the $165 cleaning fee was really high, and there is no need for a $17/day resort fee. Also note that the “tub” is not really suitable for any adult to use as a bathtub, as it is the length of a shower stall only. We did really enjoy our stay and liked the unit overall.

We enjoyed the location of Papakea as it was close to a supermarket, food trucks, an ABC store, and central to locations. The condo had all the necessary amenities. Only complaint is the bedroom mattresses was too soft for our liking. Kids enjoyed the pool. The property has older population but they didn’t seem to mind our energetic kids. We’d stay here again.

We arrived alittle early before check in and because we do have a one year old son we had milk and groceries and I was worried about it going bad. So I called the property manager and he picked up right away and let us in to put our groceries in the fridge even though our room wasn't ready yet. He really worked with us and understood and it totally made us feel comfortable and ready for our vacation. The room was great the view was great and the property was amazing definitely can't go wrong here.

This is a nice very well priced condo at a great property. If you’re expecting the Ritz Carlton at this price think again. This is a nice equipped, great view, comfortable and clean place to stay. The comments about cleanliness were unfounded for us. Unit was nice and clean when we arrived.

It will be very easy to take this ok unit to the next level!
While the mattress is good, the plastic mattress cover is funky - noisy, hot and sweaty; the bed pillows are very old.
The kitchen has very basic supplies.

We loved staying at Papakea Resort with our family. There’s a great view from the balcony and the location is great.

Property nice and location and amenities great. Checked in an hour after allowed and brought all luggage to 3rd floor room. Cleaners had only just arrived. Stacked luggage on sofa and sat by pool in winter clothes for another hour. Don’t think the floor got mopped as needed to wear socks to keep feet from turning black. Clean towels hung in bathroom were damp. Placemats in kitchen drawer were all dirty.

Easy, perfect location to relax in Maui. Have been to this property location five times and don’t think we would even try another place.

This property was located conveniently to shopping and other resorts...and the elevator. The grounds are immaculately maintained with 2 pools and 2 hot tubs. Very nice garden and ocean views. The stackable washer/dryer are new and worked beautifully. Ice trays or cork screws were not provided. We tried to lubricate the sliding glass doors as they were hard to open; the kitchen cabinet lamination was peeling; could not find any dishcloths; were provided only 3 bath towels (used one of them for a bath mat) for 2 weeks; the pillows need replacing.

The accommodation was exactly as shown. The unit had everything we needed and the property and amenities were well maintained. We used the pool and BBQs many times. The lanai was perfect for morning coffee and evening meals and the view was beautiful. We enjoyed watching the sunsets from the break-wall and took many long walks along the boardwalk which starts nearby. The property is close to several beautiful beaches and a lot of restaurants..

Awesome views from balcony. The place had extra beach equipment to use which helped a ton and we even left our beach mats behind for future use for others. Had a few concerns and reached out to property owner. He was very prompt to help me out. Had a great stay. Beds were very comfortable.

The condo itself and the property are great. Grounds are meticulously maintained and the unit is well kept. Sofa bed is uncomfortable, but they usually are. Otherwise all was good. Great place to stay.

We’ve stayed at Papakea several times over the past 20+ years. It’s a nice place, well kept and clean, close to a lot of amenities. This unit was nice, clean, convenient and has a great view of the pool, putting green, and the ocean. We would definitely stay there again!

This was my second time staying at the resort. I loved it both times. Once was a getaway with buddies and the other time was a quiet, romantic getaway. The best things about the resort is that once you are there you don't have to leave. You are in relaxing and comfortable surroundings with great views of the other islands and passing whales. This is my favorite part of the Maui coastline. I can get anywhere and do most anything within walking distance. Snorkeling is great on both sides, Lahaina is just down the road...world class golf and resorts (way too expensive) are up the road. I will definitely be back to Papakea.

we do a yearly girls trip to maui which includes four women, this was our first time staying at Papakea resort , the resort was very nice, the grounds are very lovely,quiet and the resort staff show true aloha spirit, we have nothing but rave reviews for Papakea resort. But we do NOT have rave reviews for this condo unit and its owner. From the start of our booking we have been very disappointed. For starters, after our deposit was taken we could get no response from this property owner to have basic questions answered that our group had, it took several attempts from us, and an intervention from vrbo customer service to get any contact with a reply from this property owner. Once we arrived , upon check in with the resort front des, they had no record of our stay indicated, the only communication we had had from the property owner did have our access code to the unit in it, so resort staff was able to resolve our predicament very smoothly, it was indicated that management would follow up with this property owner as this was not the first time they have had problems of this sort with the owner. The unit itself does have the wonderful view listed, and housekeeping did a nice job providing plenty of towels, but it was listed as a recent remodel and we did not see where that was true.The First thing we had upon entering was a note on the kitchen counter from the last renter with the knob off the washing machine which said maintenance was notified to repair , but it was not done. The lights above the kitchen sink continuously flickered like there was an electrical shortage in it and in the bathroom the light switch would not stay in the "on" positon . There was AC in the condo, but the AC unit was blocked by the entertainment center and we could not reach the controls. The condo is listed as sleeping four, but be aware that the sleeper mattress in the foldout sofa is extremely worn and very uncomfortable, and also does not have extra pillows in the unit. Luckily our maui trip took us more outside then inside, thank goodness, so what we found lacking in this unit did not ruin our trip, but it did provide us with enough annoyances with things not working to make us not want to return to this unit again. If booking this unit i recommend you trust your instincts, ask questions of this property owner before you send a deposit, make sure you get prompt responses from him, if you hear nothing back, consider it as a sign of things to come.

My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves and just had an amazing time.Everything was just perfect. I have never been to this property but all the reviews sound the same for all 5 properties that these guys own, so I will add another amazing review. All their properties are their "home away from home". They must be away a lot to stay in all these places. I hope you have as good a time here as we did!!

We just got back from a wonderful week staying here! Everything was as described. We loved the view and the quiet. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay! Hope to come back again.

The Papakea is perfect. The Condo has a great view and is very clean and comfortable. It is everything that is stated in the advertisement. The rental was very easy. The owners were great to deal with and all questions were answered promptly. We hope to rent again in the future. The check-in at the Papakea was efficient, (we arrived quite late in the night) and the staff were polite and accommodating. This our fourth trip to Maui. The first in November. The weather was great and we would not hesitate to go at this time again. My wife especially enjoyed the Yoga-Pilates and the Aquacises. Great Time! Wally and Cathy

We loved our stay at the Papakea.It is an excellent location,shopping close by and many restarants.The grounds are beautiful and has a great barbeque area.Very long beach to walk for people who love to do that...The ocean view from the unit is outstanding and so relaxing having dinner on the lanai.The unit is all re done with tile floors and granite counter tops.It is very homey,plenty of room to unpack and a comfortable King bed in the bedroom..We will stay in this unit again when we return to Maui.Hopefully in 2009 if we can.
