Keywords: Condominium
Our cute studio apartment at the wonderful Papakea Resort is right on the ocean, a mere 30 feet to the water from your lanai. It's in the "A" building at Papakea in the perfect situation, - close to parking, super close to the beach, the pool, not on the ground floor so more private, the elevator quite far away, and up just one flight of stairs, so easy and convenient. My family and I own 4 condos at Papakea now, 2 of which are in the 'A' building. We think 'A' is the BEST - the perfect combination of a direct ocean front condo in a very desirable resort.
There is great privacy offered by the ‘A’ Building because it's off the main pathways and not 'en route' to anything but itself. In case you haven't heard, the Papakea resort is a very gracious low-rise tropical resort set on 13 oceanfront acres. It is right across the street from and easy walking distance to grocery stores, farmer's markets, great shopping and dining and of course, Java Jazz - the most unique coffee shop outside of Santa Cruz.
The resort itself offers wonderful amenities: 2 pools, 2 spas, a sauna, and beach access with easy swimming and snorkeling on site. Many of my guests enjoy the water aerobics classes held every M, W, F in the Molokai pool as well as beach front yoga classes too. Others enjoy tennis, shuffleboard, or honing their skills on one of the 2 18-hole manicured putting greens.
Now there is free high-speed wireless internet access in every room! The grounds are very handsome, where bamboo groves and tropical plants and flowers abound, where wonderful walkways meander through extensive koi ponds featuring the soothing sounds of waterfalls and water fountains. Everything they offer is free for you to enjoy, so kick back and enjoy it while you’re there!
Our studio apartment has a comfortable and easy-to-use queen-size murphy bed to allow for more living space during the day, an A/C to take the edge off on hot days, a full kitchen, and a bath with separate vanity and bath/toilet areas. There is dining for 2 inside and outside on the lanai.
The sunsets from your lanai are fabulous as are the views of the islands of Molokai and Lanai. Watch whales frolicking right from your lanai during whale season! Some of my guests have complained that the whales were so plentiful and so entrancing during the season that they couldn't leave the apartment and missed on out some of the other great activities that Maui has to offer! I don't know about that but I do know you will love the comfort and the value pricing afforded by our wonderful direct oceanfront studio apartment in the amenity rich resort that we all know and love - Papakea!

We just returned from our Maui vacation in October 2007 and absolutely loved our accommodations at Papakea (#A203)! The view was magnificent and the condo was very comfortable, including the Murphy bed. Every morning we'd wake up to the sound of the ocean and every night we'd fall asleep to it. We've stayed in several other Papakea condos over the years and this one was our favorite.

We have stayed in this 2nd-floor, ocean-front condo in 2011, 2012, and have reserved for Jan., 2012. We highly recommend it! Papakea Condo Resort is great, with 2 pools and hot-tubs, 2 putting greens, and spacious grounds which are very well kept-up, with lovely flowers and fish-ponds. It is also "old-style" Hawaii, in that there are several buildings well-separated, and only four floors. From a message to Jan., the very helpful and nice owner, after our latest visit: "1.) Thanks for getting a coffee grinder: I brought a bag of my favorite French Roast beans, and having a nice, strong cup of coffee every morning on the lanai was great! 2.) As wine drinkers, we have done comparison shopping locally over the years, and the best prices are at Safeway(with their discount card, and especially the extra 10% off for a six-pack.) But there are often specials at ABC and Times. 3.) Best place to buy flowers--at the farmer's market 2 bloocks up the street, but they are there only Wed. and Fri. mornings. This time we got a fantastic bouquet for only $15! 4.) Take out food within walking distance; We really love the great Okazuya Take-out in the strip mall a block up the street: Sharing their Ono Lemon Caper Saute with fries ($18) with a nice crisp bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon blance on the lanai with the fantastic view overlooking the sea is equivalent to a meal at, say, Pacific'O's, but at about 1/3 the cost! Also, the ABC store next door has up-graded, and the sandwiches and salads from their fresh deli section are very good, but inexpensive. 5.) We ususally have an evening flight out, so our routine on the last day is to have lunch at Hallimalle General Store (truly a world-class place), then spending time in Makaweo and Paia. We finally grab a cheap bit to eat, usually in Charley''s Bar, which has a free parking lot (a good thing these days in Paia!), then fill up the car with gss, and head to the ariport. Another "extra" day of fun! 6. Local restaurants we liked this year: Pacific'O, Mala, and their new restaurant Honu next door with fantastic sea-side tables, Fu Lin across the street for Chinese food--doesn't look like much, but the food is great!. Roy's up the road--truly word-class as well; we usually make a meal of the fabulous pupus and finish with the chocolate souffle (order at the beginning of the meal). Thanks, and again, we love this little condo! Hope to come back forever and ever... Bill and Julie

My husband and I loved our stay in this exceptionally clean and well equipped unit. The murphy bed was very comfortable and it was so nice to be lulled to sleep each night by the waves gently lapping the shore! This is our fourth stay at Papakea and we will definitely contact Jan the next time we visit. She was a pleasure to deal with both the booking of the condo and the prompt return of our security deposit. This is a wonderful unit-enjoy!!!!!!

My husband and I are sitting out on the lanai, the sun just set, and we're sad to be leaving this place tomorrow. The location is perfect, peaceful and quiet. The grounds are imaculately kept. We enjoyed a day at the pool, cooked up some scallops and veggies in the BBQ, and relaxed in the hot tub at night after sight-seeing. There are some pretty colorful fish if you want to snorkel directly behind the condo. We also drove to Honolua Bay which has a nice walk though the jungle and great snorkeling. This condo has everything you need. We will definitely be recommending it to everyone heading to Maui. P.S. Don't forget to empty the dryer-lint if you do laundry! ;)

We had such a relaxing time there. We went with our friends to celebrate their 40th wedding anniverary.The views were amazing from our balcony and the grounds just beautiful and clean. We laid in bed with the door open listening to the waves of the ocean. So peaceful. Would recommend this to our friends and family. Setting this up was so easy and Jan was great to work with. Thank you.

This studio is exactly as shown on the website. The proximity to the ocean made it the perfect place for a glass of wine at sunset. The murphy bed was very comfortable and easy to manage. Unless the weather was warm, we were very comfortable sleeping with the sliding door open and listening to the waves at night. The grounds are very well maintained and we made use of the gas grills several times. The location will require a rental car if you plan any sight seeing. It is not as centrally located to the entire island as some other resort areas, but you are very close to Lahaina with shopping and restaurants. It is 45 minutes - 1 hour from the airport. If you are looking for the perfect place to relax and unwind without a lot of driving to other locations, you can't beat the price and location. We can't wait for our next visit to Maui.

My son and I recently stayed in A203 and rented directly through Jan. What a lovely accomidation! We especially enjoyed the sound of the surf throughout the night, this condo sits right at the ocean front. I cooked all week and didn't find anything lacking from the kitchen....in fact there is a dishwasher. If you're undecided in where you'll stay, I would reccommend this property and experience over the big hotel chains anyday. Enoy!

We just got back from our wonderful stay here at A-203! I can't even begin where to start! The accomodations were just great. The bed is very comfortable, the kitchen all working appliances, the studio was clean very well maintained and just charming. Jan was a very gracious hostess and made as feel like we were at home on our arrival. The view from the minute you open the door to enter is spectacular! You will have the feeling that you are on a cruise ship sitting on top of the ocean! We encountered no problems of any sort. We felt quite safe in our suroundings and had some of the best nights sleep ever with the sound of the ocean waves right outside our door step! We could never thank Jan enough!!!! See you next year!

We recently stayed here for our honeymoon on Maui. The room was nice & clean and quite comfortable. The full kitchen was really handy. I think my favorite feature was the view--lanai perfect for breakfast or just relaxing. Easy beach access! (Must say the washer/dryer was nice to have.) The location was perfect for all there is to see and do along Front St in Lahaina. We also did lots of activities on other parts of the island which were easily accessible from Papakea. Also worth noting: the elevator, stairs, and trash receptacles are close but not in the way of traffic. *A silly side note: I liked the shampoo/conditioner that was provided so well that I've found it online to order. :)
