Book with no fear the government will cancel your booking and you lose your payment as described below:

We are very sorry that the Maui Government is trying to use fear tactics to get the short term rentals to give up our homes to help solve their mistakes. In January we had to opportunity to speak with some very influential people here, and they assured us there is nothing the government can do to force us to convert to long term. If these people are incorrect, and the government was able to force us to cancel your booking, then your booking would be refunded regardless of the refund policy.

Lahaina fires were a tragedy, but even worse, most of the locals are now out of a job, and it is because 80% of the west side economy is based on tourists. We need you, and we need you to book ASAP, any place on the North West Side of Maui. Please help us get the locals back to work, Thank you!

This home is a rare configuration at Papakea. There are at most 2 in each building. I am talking about a top floor, 3 bedroom (including the large loft) home with the master bedroom having wall to wall windows that allow you to see the ocean, pool, putting green, and Koi pond the same view as the Lanai! This is the most desired configuration in the resort.

These are beautiful 2011, again in 2014, and again in 2017 renovated three bedroom (one bedroom is a large loft), two bath with vaulted ceilings on the 4th/top floor at the fantastic Papakea Resort! Our Condo's remodels in August 2011 was by well known high end Builder/Designer Mike Harvey. You will not believe how great it turned out as the pictures do not do this unit justice (again see reviews :-) ). The kitchen's are decked out with “Exotic wood” cabinets accented with all Stainless Steel Appliances and Gorgeous Granite counter tops. The bedroom's have been furnished with the same high end furniture used in the top hotels in Kaanapali Beach. Imagine waking up from your king bed in the morning and looking out your bedroom window and seeing a serene Koi pond, lush green lawns with putting green, with the back drop of a whale filled turquoise ocean, nothing closer to heaven! The second bedroom has been outfitted with a Queen Bed with the same high end furniture (the whole unit has these great furnishings). The third bedroom, the loft, stands at top of a classic spiral staircase. It is a giant space so it has both a queen bed and two twin beds and a queen folding mattress you can unfold and make up into a queen bed, just in case you need to add two more people to your party allowing up to 10 people.

Second renovation included state of the art mini-split multi-zoned A/C. The only A/C you should demand from your rental. Each room has its own register and it can actually pull the humidity out of the room and cool, VERY FAST! No more waiting all day just to get the room 2 degrees cooler! We also put in wood floors in the bedrooms and loft (SOME PICTURES STILL HAVE OLD CARPETING IN THEM). See below for reasons, they are important.

Third renovation is adding new French Sliding doors to the Lanai, and tiling the Lanai! (Pictures may still have old Lanai doors and no tiles on them).

State of the art KEYLESS Entry system. Now you can walk on the beach, swim, play and not have to carry an annoying key or key card with you. Your whole party will have access and you can not forget your key inside.

Papakea resort is a beautifully landscaped, low-rise complex of 4 story buildings on 13 acres at north end of Kaanapali Beach. It Includes 2 swimming pools, 12 barbecues, 2 spa's, 2 shuffleboards, 3 lighted tennis courts, 2 putting greens, and many more Extras!!! This condo is not only perfect for your family vacation but also great for family reunions, weddings, etc. You will not find this any where else on Maui!!! Great deal!!

Please note that some dates may require minimum stays, which is why emailing us first will help you greatly.

WHY RENOVATION 2.0 and 3.0:

To some this second renovation may not seem like much, but in Hawaii, these costs were very significant. In fact the cost of just these two items on this second renovation was more than 25% of the first renovation’s cost!

The new A/C was because our past guest were given a chance to tell us their top recommendations for our home. The most common was the A/C. The issue, these wall units do not remove the humidity very well, take many hours to cool, and then only seem to cool a couple of degrees. They also leak a lot of water because the water they take out of the air, they put into a pan on the bottom of the A/C expecting evaporation to remove (which does not), which has its own set of issues. After installing and using the new units, we can say that nobody should ever have the other style or even no A/C. We use them very little ourselves, but sometimes removing the humidity from the air makes a world of difference in comfort. And to do it, you only need to run the A/C in that one room for a short amount of time, not all day!

As for the carpets, well that was the second most recommendation. Although we all love carpets, there are two issues that came up, one is they look dirty too easily and make the place look not as nice, second is the environment is already very warm, and it is nicer to have a cooler feeling under your feet. Not to mention that the wood floors are just so much richer looking.

The sliding doors from the original build do not operate easily, and can not be repaired because the tracks malformed with time. Almost all the units at Papakea have this issue, so expect this to be a problem if the units have not been updated.

As you read our reviews, you will see that we pride ourselves on doing our best to provide one of the best, if not the best, vacation experience you can have. VRBO's quick booking business philosophy does not create both the trust between you the guest and us the Owners. This trust is why you see that we have one of the most reviewed units. We can only make you feel good about your stay, if we make sure your expectations are accurately set from the beginning and deliver on them. So PLEASE make that first email before book it now. I am sure you will find it was worth it!

We ended up having to find a new condo after our existing reservation at another locale was cancelled a few weeks before our trip. This was a great find! Lovely view from the master bedroom and lanai of the grounds and ocean. We could hear the ocean waves at night from the bedroom. Kitchen a bit cramped when multiple people were around, but we made do. Great grilling facilities in the complex. Condo could use a few more pots and sharpened knives. Appreciated the various beach gear - a few chairs, boogie boards and snorkel gear.

Papakaya was perfect for our 2week family vacation; clean, comfortable, top floor & Brian was a caring host. The resort is family friendly and a perfect location . . food trucks, walking on the Kaanapali boardwalk, grocery store & most of all . . an addictive cinnabon store (of course there's a long line) owned by a lovely young couple from Modesto, CA. Be sure & give them your business!

We LOVED this condo and the location in Lahina. Close to so many fun activities and had the best vacation with a large family sharing a space that was so clean and easy to accommodate everyone’s needs. Thank you so much! Wonderful memories here. We will be back!!!!

Brian took such great care of us. The place was perfect. It was fully stocked with all essential household items. It was super clean. Appliances worked like a charm. The view was incredible, looking over the pool toward the sunset. It even had ample beach going toys, from snorkels to chairs and umbrellas. Even coolers, that were perfect for the car day trips. We went with four other families to the resort, and we had the best experience by far with this one. Communication was great, we knew how to work everything before we even left home. We loved the recommendations that were sent out ahead of or trip, making our first time in Maui spectacular. We’d pick this same place each time if it was available. Mahalo!

Great location as it was within walking distance to grocery stores, food truck district, great beaches (where we saw turtles on our first day snorkeling), shopping mall and golfing. Brian was super quick to get back to us the few times we needed something. The unit easily slept 7 adults very comfortable. Highly recommend this

The amount of notes taped every where is a bit tacky. A few wood placards would have been a nicer look. The back door had a broken handle. Otherwise, its exactly what we signed up for.

I stayed at this property for 9 days with a group of friends. Brian was very easy to communicate with and always answered any of my questions very promptly. Their welcome packet was very informational and I felt like they explained everything well and gave a lot of helpful tips for the island. Papakea Resort was beautiful. We utilized all the amenities, Blue Hawaiian was helpful for us in setting up a few activities and having a little beach area right off the resort was really nice to have. My one "complaint" was that checking into the apartment we were thinking we were going to be able to by 4 pm and the cleaners didn't wrap up until closer to 5:30 and then checking out the cleaners started cleaning an hour before we had to be checked out. This wasn't a big deal for us, we still dropped our bags off, just something to keep note of that sometimes there is a little delay with the cleaning! I would definitely recommend staying here. Brian was great, everything was as listed in the description, Papakea was a great resort and Maui was beautiful. Hope to come back soon!!

The place has more space than I imagined. The loft upstairs was able to fit 3 boys and their stuff with room to spare. There was a good amount of kitchen items/spices (I donated a cheese grater to the kitchen items). The AC worked REALLY well, able to cool the rooms in seconds which was a huge deal for this Alaskan. The beach wasn't terribly far maybe a 2–3-minute walk and it was a nice beach! There was also a grocery store and food trucks in walking distance. Brian was very responsive and helpful from the time of booking until checkout. Thank you for letting us use this condo would stay here again!

Entrance lock didn’t work when we got there but owner did help us get in with help of condo staff. Had to replace battery in lock. Main area fan switch was broken, this would have helped keep upper level cooler I think. Very clean very nice place. Stocked well with extras. Complex is very nice as well with helpful staff.

Papakea It self was a beautiful place to stay. Lots to do at the resort. From tennis ,pickleball courts, Mimi golf, Pools/ Spa , BBQ, or to just sit out by the sea wall and watch the whales. This condo is on the 4th floor so you can either take the stairs or the elevator they also have a nice cart to take of your stuff or your grocery's. Great parking at the resort. Around the corner from the resort is food trucks lots of great choices. Across the street is a strip mall and it has a grocery store. 5 min drive to whaler's village lots the great shopping and great food. Concierge was so helpful in the main lobby she booked our whale watching tour (Sail Maui) it was great. The condo was nice but dated. There were 9 of us that stayed and it was tight but it worked. You will need to come prepared to supply some things. There was NO hand soap, no paper towel, No trash liners. There was some spices left but other than that you will need to get the necessities. There was a closet full of miscellaneous beach toys and chairs. There was an umbrella and cooler that were broken so you will want to plan to purchase something for outings. They DID have beach towel for everyone. The table outside was small it had 2 broken chairs the table inside had 3 chairs. Yes I would come back to the resort but I would look for another place to stay in Papakea. We have stayed at a different condo each time and the Papakea resort was the best in our opinion.

perfect location, lots to do! lawn games, beach toys, beach chairs and towels were all included. I gave it a 4 rating because one of the beds didn't get changed and there was sand in the sheets, but there were extra sheets in the closet so all was good! I'm hopeful that was a one time mistake :) Brain was awesome! answered all questions quickly and very professional. All the other guests we met on property were very nice. very family friendly resort. Food trucks within walking distance was a hit! I would highly recommend staying here.

We had an amazing trip, the house has a great setup and location! With little kids we loved that the house did not have a bunch of "stuff" everywhere but was still nicely decorated! Great location to the beach, we hardly wore shoes! Easy check in and out! The owner is so nice and helpful, we will be back again!

This property was great for my large family. The condo had everything we needed for cooking and grilling. It was fully stocked with snorkeling gear, pool noodles, life jackets for the Littles, beach chairs and umbrellas, stuff for golfing, flippers and sand shoes in various sizes. There was lots of towels as well. We loved out view from our deck. The kids really enjoyed the pool and the hot tub. The lanai was perfect for hanging out at any time of the day. Everything was just a short walk or a short drive from the condo. I would 100% stay here again.

Our family of 6 adults and 3 children had a great time here! Plenty of room, all the amenities of a resort plus the benefits of a privately owned unit. Brian’s place really has it all from a fully stocked kitchen, all the beach gear you could possibly need, tennis equipment, two pack n plays, high chair, the list goes on and on. Brian also gave us a lengthy Guide to Maui that included local recommendations on just about everything. Communication was always quick and it was an overall great experience.

The pictures advertised for this property do not do it justice. This condo was absolutely perfect!! Wonderfully renovated. It had everything and more. Fully stocked with all kitchen amenities (coffee maker with filters, spices, there was even a crockpot and griddle), toys for pool/beach, umbrellas, and games for the kiddos. GREAT location! The views were stunning, the grounds well kept and lush. Went to Maui to visit my brother and sister-in-law who live in Nipili, had the whole family with us (grandparents included) so it was nice to have such a large condo instead of a hotel room. Walking distance to a great little beach, food, and market in case you can’t live without something. Absolutely no complaints from us!! Would love to stay again!! Thank you!!

We had a family meet up in Maui and this property was perfect for all of us (kids through seniors). The property was beautiful and it was easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. Our kids really appreciated the access to beach/pool toys. Everything was clean and well stocked! Thank you for making it so easy for all of us to stay in one place!

If your group is at all like ours with similar hopes and expectations, this is about as close to perfect as it gets. We are part of a larger family group and nine of us stayed here. Five more stayed at another unit at Papakea. Two parents and two teens in the loft, two parents and baby in the back bedroom, and of course Grandma and Grandpa got the front suite. Three couples sharing the cost made it fall within our budget, which was hard to find! This place suited our needs perfectly. Great view from the balcony and we all fit comfortably each night for drinks. Great location, from there we hit many beaches, Hana, and Haleakala. And the property itself is great. Plenty of room to spread out, we enjoyed the pools and the beach just south of the resort. Great for kids! One bonus is the pools and beach don’t need key access, you can just come and go freely. Make sure to hit D.T. Fleming beach, it was our overall favorite! Another surprise bonus is that each pool has a ‘cabana’ (?) free to use with shade, bathrooms, tables and chairs overlooking the ocean. We did three large group dinners there—grills abound by the pools and the Maui Fish Market and food trucks nearby were great. The only minor annoyances were the elevator was out for part of the seat and the AC unit on the balcony hums. But again, super minor and five stars all the way :) Brian was a great host and communication was a breeze. Mahalo and we hope to be back!

Everythings was provided, beach chairs, coolers. The beds were comfy. The only thing i didnt like was on one of the hottest weeks of the year sometimes the A/C units couldnt keep up. But im sure theyve been checked out by now. Other than that we all had a great time and would stay again. Brian gave me his number incase i needed something, but i didnt have to bother him. Thanks brian!

We had a wonderful stay at this unit. The condo had everything we needed in the kitchen and for the beach. Snorkel gears, beach chairs, umbrellas and mats were available for us to use. The condo was spacious, had comfortable beds and beautiful ocean views from the master bedroom and balcony. It is also a perfect location exploring Maui. The condo is close to Lahaina, Kaanapali and Napili beach areas. Would definitely stay here again.

From the time we made our reservation to our departure, our three-generation family of eight was well-informed and cared for. We appreciated the many extras, such as toys, umbrellas, and equipment for the beach. And the beautifully maintained resort complex was close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping.


Tracy K.

Resort was very nice and clean. No sandy beach in front of property but you can walk down a bit to access beach. Only complaint we had was our elevator was out in our building all week. We enjoyed our stay at resort. Concierge was very helpful.



June 2022
We ran into lots of inconveniences. AC doesn’t cool the condo, sand in the sheets upon arrival, door doesn’t latch closed, Tv remote had no batteries, etc. Brian was responsive to our concerns but the AC still never cooled and we ended up having to change our own sheets that were dirty before our arrival.

Everything was excellent. Cleaning was not compete at check in but very appreciative that late check in was given since our flights were later in the day. Dryer is long to complete the towels to be dry.

We enjoyed waking up to a beautiful view 9f the ocean every morning. This property is very family friendly and the staff works hard to keep it nice. The only thing I would say is that it isn’t obvious from the pictures that there is no beach right out front (it’s a sea wall with lots of rocks and no sand. There are a couple of tiny beaches at the next adjacent resort, but it is a bit of a hike (25 minutes) to get to Kahekili which is the closest real Maui beach. All was good though! Good place for young and old!

Hi, overall we had very good stay but few things need to be taken care like. Hot water comes for mostly 4 to 5 people and we need to wait for an hour. We had kids and it was a little trouble. Other thing is washer dryer, dryer won't dry your clothes at all. And need to focus on fresh bedding, they were not clean, glad we bought our own bed sheets.

Our family of 5 adults had an amazing stay at this rental. Brian was great to send us all necessary info well ahead of time, and the lobby/registration building on the property made check-in a breeze. The condo was as advertised, and the view from the balcony is way better in person than pictures show. Bring binoculars and you can spend your morning coffees watching whales right from the balcony. The king bedroom was great. The queen bedroom was also nice - only complaint was that it was not very sound proof and we were woken by noisy birds at sunrise even with ear plugs. But waking up around 6:15AM in Maui is not really much of a negative, anyway lol. The upstairs loft sleeping area as well as both bedrooms all had their own AC units which were effective and made the suite very comfortable. The grounds were great and well maintained. Putting greens and tennis courts and pool area were all in great shape. BBQ's around the pool area also were high quality and seemed new. There are also beach style lounge chairs on the grassy area where you can read and listen to waves crash and watch whales. No sandy beach at the property (other than the little one shown in pics) was not an issue for us at all. There are beautiful public beaches (Kaanapali, Kahana, Napali, Flemming, etc) all within 10 mins drive. And even more beautiful beaches if you don't mind the extra drive. My fav was Mauluaka which we hit after we left Big Beach early (too windy at Big Beach that day). Google Maps will show that this property is in an ideal location for your basic needs. Times Grocery, ABC, food trucks, snorkel rentals, a few restaurants all within walking distance. Highly recommend this stay to anybody. Top notch and we will be back hopefully soon!! :)

This property was perfect for our family trip celebrating two 80th birthdays. Comfortable layout with nice balcony view of the pool and the ocean. All ages and activity levels in our group and everyone was happy. Had a 'snafoo' with the lock on the door and got immediate response/fix when requested. Would return again for sure.

Excellent, clean, and well- equipped property. Our family of six (three adult couples) stayed here very comfortably for a week. It was great to have a place with three separate sleeping areas. Granted, the upstairs loft is not totally private, but much more so than a fold out couch in the living room. The beach is adjacent to the property and the sunsets from the grounds are spectacular.

This property was wonderful for our group of 9 people, the location is walkable to the store, food trucks, and the beach next door, the grounds are upkept beautifully, and the view is amazing. Our favorite thing to do to start each morning was a cup of coffee on the lanai, followed by laying on the lawn chairs beach side listening to the ocean and the birds. We would then begin our day by either hanging out at the resort playing putt putt, shuffleboard, swimming in the pool, or going to the beach next door if we didn't have any excursions planned. With that said, this location is a quick easy drive to tons of excursions, shopping, golf and other beaches which made each day nice and easy. I loved the easy keyless entry, the view from the lanai, the bedrooms and space for our group of 9, even the fold out couch was comfy according to my 17 year old grandson. The unit had tons of stuff in it already including coolers, beach chairs, board games and boogie boards (although they were a litte worse for wear and could use replacing) The communication with the property owner was always responsive, and great as well. My only suggestions to the property owner would be finding a way to hang towels both shower and beach to dry after use, with our group of 9 it was difficult to find a place to hang them as you can't put the beach towels on the lanai railing for example and in the bathrooms there is only 2 places to hang towels in each, so it felt like we were constantly washing and drying them. Maybe an over the door hook for bathroom towels and a towel rack for beach towels?

Perfect for what we needed. Loved that there were plenty of beach towels for everyone. There is a small strip of sandy beach just off to the left of the property which we enjoyed taking a stroll on but it was a little too rocky in the water for us to swim in. Great location as well, not too far from Lahaina and very close to Kaanapali beach which is a beautiful beach to swim at. Everyone also loved how close it was to the ABC store, we went there everyday for snacks and food (their deli area is great). Brian is also very quick to reply to my questions. Wouldn't mind staying here again!

First time visiting Maui for most of my family except for myself and daughter. We wanted something affordable that would accommodate us all and have a beach view and close to stores. I know sounds hard to find but we did. It was perfect. It had everything we needed. Can’t wait to go back to Maui with my kids (9&10) and husband. They kids will love the loft with the twin beds !! I always stay at hotels but after my experience, I will definitely stay in a condo. So happy we had a good experience, I was nervous since I booked it! Thank you Brian for a great stay. Only downfall is the stairway , it’s very narrow to bring up the luggage.

This was a great property for our family of six. Great location for beach access and you are in walking distance to all the amenities you will need for your stay. Grocery store, convenience store, restaurants, Snorkel Bob's, and anything else you can think of are all within walking distance. The pool was great, the property management was great and the property amenities were great. The unit was clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything you will need for the beach. The property has great views and beach access just off to the left of the property where you will find a foot bridge to the beach. We would definitely stay in this unit again.

We enjoyed staying here with our children and grandchildren, the loft is perfect for the kids. The pools, bbq and walks were all great. Downside was no beach really. We drove to snorkel and swim in the ocean. Very economical for 8 people.

The property was clean, well equipped, and in good working order. However, the pictures were misleading on both the properties we rented at Papakea Resorts. They both had pictures of stairs leading down to a nice wide beach, but there is no beach in front of Papakea at all! Since the beach is one of the primary reasons we chose the property we were quite disappointed.


Forest K.

We loved our stay at Papakea and would go back in a heartbeat. The condo was perfect for our little family of 5. Two kids in the loft, which was a nice oasis for them. The lanai opens up to the beautiful property of Papakea and a very nice ocean view. The kitchen had everything we needed for the light cooking we did while there. Since the food trucks are walking distance, we brought most of our food home from there to enjoy with a bottle of wine on the lanai - in the luscious Maui air. Brian was very helpful and had wonderful communications with us - we felt taken care of. We'll definitely look to this unit again for our next trip to Maui.

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent vacation to Papakea in Maui. The location is excellent and the condo was perfectly situated for four adults and four kids. The loft turned out to be a great space for the kids to sleep and hang out. We were able to walk to a small beach, the pool, restaurants/food trucks and the Times grocery store. Would recommend for any family looking for ample space and a great, quiet location.

Note: Vacancy calendar is approximate. Visit the owner/manager's reservation site to verify your dates.
