Our time spent in Maui was indeed magical. Many thanks to Jay for providing such a warm and welcoming place. My favorite activity was sitting on the balcony and scanning the ocean for whales. We saw tails waving at us and flippers splashing the water on a regular basis. The condo had everything you might need for your stay including boogie boards, snorkel equipment and a beach cart. We were all amazed and very grateful. Mahalo.

Perfect place close to Kannapali Beach. Woke up each AM with perfect view on Lanai with Breakfast, and sunsets to match. Restaurants, snorkal vendors, and beaches very close drive away. Would def stay here again

The room was fantastic. It is nothing overly fancy and perhaps a little dated, but it is an amazing location and very clean. We will definitely come back.

Property has great views of the ocean, pools, tennis courts, and activities for all ages. The kitchen is fully stocked and there are beach chairs and umbrellas. In addition, there is a food truck area right around the corner within easy walking distance. Lots to look forward to with this one!

Wonderful vacation
January 2025
We highly recommend this property for anyone who wants a beautifully appointed place to stay in a wonderful location! This listing is AS ADVERTISED! We found everything we could ever need for our vacation. Including beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella and cooler.The grounds were very well maintained and lovely. Restaurants and markets were all within walking distance or just a short drive away. We also were able to find lovely beaches and coves to snorkel in 15-20 minutes away. Whaler's Villiage is 10 minutes away with all the upscale shopping and restaurants you could ask for. Mahalo for a lovely time Epic Reality!

We have stayed at the Papakea many times and overall, found this to be a good unit for families. The layout is spacious and carpets have been replaced with hard surface flooring so it is easy to clean. The ocean and garden views are nice and it is also north facing so does not get very overheated by direct sun. The unit is well equipped with boogie board and beach items. The kitchen is sufficiently equipped (even has some sharp knives which is almost unheard of). Owners were prompt in responding to questions. Mattresses need replacing but overall this is a pretty good rental.

This is a well-maintained, low-key property. We had a pleasant stay. Positives were cleanliness, responsive management, and location. Our family could have used another bathroom, but that's not the property's fault. A foot-washing station close to the unit would be handy.

This is an absolutely awesome condo! The location is great, the kitchen was equipped with everything that was needed to cook our own meals. The view was amazing, especially during whale season. We will be back

The property was good. The rooms were good. It was furnished nicely. I read all the reviews and the description about the air-conditioning and I thought based on the weather we would be fine. We were not. It was so hot during the day and at night even with fans and windows open. Some of us even ended up sick because of it. The location was wonderful and close to so many things. If I returned I would not rent this unit again just due to A/C. The host was great.

Very nice condo. Views are great from lanai and master bedroom. Walking distance to coffee/breakfast places and food trucks for dinner. Fit 2 adults and 3 teen boys well.It was nice to have beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas and a cooler available for use. Kannapalli and Kapalua short drives from condo. Definitely recommend for a nice stay in Maui.

Great stay, very clean and amazing view and location, and owner was very responsive to issues such as faulty fridge and food lost as a result, Upstairs of condo could use serious renovation (old shower and carpet, stained bed cover), and mattress for living-room sofa-bed very uncomfortable, surprising and unacceptable given that this condo is supposed to sleep 6 and charges a high price for it. Lanai is best part.

Our family stays at Papakea over the holidays every year. The location is perfect and the oceanfront views are amazing. The condo had everything we needed. There was an insect issue the first few days (4 dead roaches showed up), but then it was fine (they may have just sprayed before we arrived). I would recommend adding more forks because there were only about 5. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We loved it and would definitely stay again!

Our family stays at Papakea over the holidays every year. The location is perfect and the views are amazing. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. The only thing we missed was having air conditioning. There are certain times of the day that it gets unpleasant even when opening windows/doors and keeping the curtains closed. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Awesome. Everything was awesome. Awesome views of ocean. We saw whales on numerous occasions. Saw sea turtles on numerous occasions. Grills and cooking facilities were great. Beds were extremely comfortable and tv watching was great for watching football after we got our sun for the day. Great location near kanapali beqch. Perfect for our family of four with 2 adult children. Highly recommend. 5 stars

This is a great condo in a wonderful, family friendly and laid back complex. This condo is ground floor in the third building back from the ocean and looks out onto the pretty Koi ponds and pool. The condo is well maintained with newer appliances and the kitchen has everything you might need to cook and BBQ. There is also a cooler, tons of beach towels and four beach chairs and sporting goods and various fins/snorkels/etc left from previous folks.the beds and showers are good and the mini-split AC in the living room works well to cool down the living room and master bedroom at night when you have to close the lanai door (since it's a ground floor unit you can't really leave doors open). The back bedroom can get a bit warm (we stayed in winter when it's still cool at night) especially if you close the door. we had four adults (all family) staying and we did not feel crowded - lots of space for all, especially since you can just hang out outside or walk down to the waterfront if you need space, lol!The complex has lots to do if you want a "stay at home" day - shuffleboard, putting green, pickleball courts, etc. Being super close to the ABC store and the food trucks made life easy. There's coffee places within an easy walk and a great cinnamon roll place as well. And it's an easy drive to good beaches and snorkeling areas.We have stayed at this resort many times and this is one of the nicest condos we have stayed in there. Can't wait to come back to Maui soon! Mahalo

My family loved our stay at this beautiful condo! This was our 4th time at Papakea, we love the location and property and cannot say enough about Unit K404 and working with Carol. The views are spectacular and everything about this condo was perfect. First of all it was immaculate upon check-in. It had everything we could possibly need. The best stocked kitchen we have ever had and loved having an ice maker! Carol is an amazing host! Communication of any kind is immediate. She even offered a late check-out if possible… it was and since our flight wasn’t until 6:15 made our last day in Maui so much better. I would recommend this condo to anyone coming to Maui, it is a magical place!!

This is the perfect place to stay! The view from the unit is incredible, waking up to whales swimming in the distance and the sounds of the ocean was so amazing. Close to everything you need and want to do in the area, I will definitely be staying here again. The host is very responsive and kind. This could not have been a better stay!

This place is everything it's represented to be online, but Ray was an especially awesome host. We had a communication problem (on my part, not his - I'd had trouble changing the number of guests on the VRBO app and hadn't realized I hadn't correctly registered the number of guests when my son and girlfriend decided to join us kind of last minute). Ray was super helpful, didn't hold the error against me, and helped us figure out everything we needed. Highly recommend this condo and owner!

Everything about our stay in this unit was excellent, from start to finish. It was exactly as described with plenty of space for our family of 5. One of the best features was the fully-stocked kitchen, which made it feel like home. We also appreciated the beach chairs, pool noodles and boogie boards. Looked like there was quite a bit of snorkel gear as well, though we rented ours from a local shop. We stayed over Christmas and I was pleasantly surprised that there was a box of nice decorations and lights that we were able to put up to make it feel more festive. Communication and care from Don was outstanding. The only negative thing that we experienced was the noise from people getting out of the elevator early every morning (It sounded like they were standing over your bed talking, lol). Nothing anyone can do about that though!Honestly, this is just the best unit and Papakea itself was amazing too. Don't hesitate to book, you won't regret it. In fact, we hope to go back some day!!

Of all the condos at Papakea resort, THIS is the one you want! It is a ground floor condo that faces the ocean. There is no sand but there is a 25’ wide strip of beautiful lawn between you and the ocean. The vast ocean view is absolutely unobstructed. There is an infinity edge black rock wall from the edge of the lawn that drops down to the ocean, preventing erosion. We had a very high tide one day and the waves crashing against the wall sprayed about 10’ feet up in the air. It was magical. A lovely beach with a big shade tree is about a one minute walk over a quaint, bridge walkway. The condo itself was very comfortable with everything one could possibly want. The bed was amazingly comfortable, the kitchen was the most fully stocked I’ve seen and the couch was very comfy as well. Excellent wi-fi, big TV, quiet ceiling fans in the living room, kitchen and bedroom. We propped the front door open as we’d seen others do, to take advantage of the cool island breezes that came through from the front to the back of the condo and we never turned on the AC. We did not want to leave and we WILL be back!

There was a tiny snafu on check in (things happen) yet the staff at the property and the cleaners worked to take care of things quickly while we went out to grab a bite to eat. We appreciated there help. The unit itself was well appointed with all that we needed. Air conditioning worked while it was not needed much. Location makes it very easy to walk to lots of food as well as the water. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony in the morning while the teens slept in. Lots to explore very very close by. Plenty space inside and out to relax.

The property was paradise! Couldn’t have asked for more -view of the ocean, palm trees, pond with a bridge, pool, hot tub, putting green and lit torches at night. The beach walkway was conveniently located next to our property which went for miles down the beach. The property was very clean as was our beautiful condo which had every amenity needed!
