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??

This is the best place I’ve ever stayed at! The place was nice, clean and had everything you need for your vacation. So well organized too! The view was impeccable; sat on the deck for hours. This was worth every penny! We wish we stayed longer and I even said can we buy this place? Lol.Great location for some of our favorite beaches, shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

Papakea B105 is perfect for a relaxing vacation on Maui. The ocean view was better than advertised, the unit was very thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed, and the property was delightful.

This was an exceptionally clean and cute vacation rental that is exactly as pictured! We would definitely stay here again! The kitchen was well equipped and organized. 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!

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!

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.

It's hard to really do the view from the patio justice. 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.

B105 is one of our favorite vacation rentals, we always try to stay in that specific unit. It’s close to the pool, you can enjoy sunset right from your porch.Unit is stocked well with everything you might need. Across the street is a little grocery store and coffee shop and a snorkel bobs. Everything you might need is right there!

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.

From the second we got to go property booking was extremely easy. The property is in prime location. 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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
