Location: Papakea Resort, Kaanapali, West Maui, Maui, Hawaii, USA (Located in Honokowai - between Lahaina and Kapalua) View Map
Accommodations: Condo, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
Keywords: Condominium
Ocean front condo with panoramic views from Lanai to Molokai, unobstructed sunset views anytime of year. Private corner unit with wrap around lanai - lots of room to lounge or dine outside. Extra large one bedroom suite with a queen bed and twin bed, queen sofa sleeper in living room. Bathroom has dressing area with a double sink vanity. Large roomy kitchen for families who enjoy cooking.
Quiet corner of the property - away from parking lot, pool - just the sound of the waves at night. Watch whales right from the lanai during whale season. In-suite washer and dryer, fully-equipped kitchen, air conditioning.
Papakea has the ideal location - right at the north end of Kaanapali beach, private and quiet, but with miles of beach just steps away. Great for those who love swimming, snorkeling, jogging, strolling, or building sand castles! The lush tropical 13 acre grounds and low-rise buildings offer a relaxed island-style ambiance, roomy, yet never crowded. Walking distance to groceries, sundries, coffee shops, and spa. Short drive to shopping, galleries, and world-class dining.
Our beach home has a beautifully updated kitchen with maple cabinets, granite counter tops, and new appliances. We have a glass-top stove set in the kitchen island so that the ocean view can inspire some island-style cooking. The old fluorescent lighting was replaced with natural light and dimmer switches and the new fans have wall-switch speed control so you can create the perfect environment. The living/dining area feature a queen pull-out couch and club chair w/ottoman for ultimate relaxation. The bedroom has new bedding and luxury mattress and an HD tv/dvd.
The only downside is that our condo has become popular for repeat annual visits so it books up early. We think it's perfect for a romantic & relaxing vacation.

Map & Owner's Profile
Papakea 1 BR Oceanfront Corner Unit - Panoramic Views
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Papakea Resort
After a decade of return trips to Maui we knew our permanent vacation home would be on this island. Maui really is no ka oi. We looked at condos from Napili to Kihei, but didn't see the perfect "one" until we came to Papakea. We found this resort to be tropical, peaceful, friendly and had several nice condos available. When we saw L301 with it's quiet corner location and 180 degree views we knew this was it - love at first sight!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We love getting up early for a jog down the beach - all the way to Black Rock, or a stroll over to the Farmer's Market for upcountry veggies and tropical fruit. During the day we can watch our kids on the beach from the lanai or play a game of tennis. Evenings are our favorite - we skip the restaurant wait and grill fresh fish by the pool and dine at the ocean-front cabana, getting the best sunset views. The cabana is perfect for families with kids and dining with friends. For a romantic dinner we prefer the private lanai with island music playing in the background. At nightfall we stroll along the torch-lit paths or take a soak in the jacuzzi and plan the next day's adventure.
Owner's Map of Papakea Resort
Our family enjoys country living in California, but our hearts belong to Hawaii. We're entranced by Hawaii's amazing topography, lush tropical climate, diverse ocean-life, and especially the warm aloha spirit. We have two boys who fell in love with Maui at ages 2 & 4 building sandcastles and spotting sea turtles - now they prefer boogie boarding & snorkeling. From our honeymoon, to family trips, to our anniversary celebration Maui is magical to us.

We stayed at beautiful Papakea Resort for a week in paradise. We loved the location, on the beach and close to everything that Maui has to offer. The condo was well appointed with all of the amenities that we needed. The grocery store, restaurants and shops are steps away. We found Papakea to be clean and well maintained. The pools were just right for a relaxing swim or a soak in the spa. We barbecued some yummy steaks out next to the pool. The owners were great to work with and all of the arrangements were just as advertised. The corner unit -provided us sweeping ocean views and spectacular sunsets from the lanai. We hope to return to Maui again in the future and hope to stay at the Papakea again.

Perfect Maui getaway with amazing sunsets

This condo was everything it was billed to be. The wrap around lanai and windows afforded great unabstructed views. The owners were great with timely emails and helpful information. During low tide (mornings) you could walk the beach all the way to Black Rock. The sunsets are also unabstructed and we made sure we were home every night for sunset. This trip to Maui was for doing nothing and this condo was perfect for that. Although it is situated perfectly to reach anyplace on the island with ease, should you chose to leave the condo. We didn't very often! We will be back, actually my wife was ready to go back after only a month.

We travelled to Maui with our 2 young kids to attend a family wedding. The condo was perfect and we loved listening to the waves crashing on the beach when we woke in the morning. Definitely looking forward to returning one day.

Review Submitted: 03/10/11
We just returned from our 4th stay in this unit and have already booked for next year. Over the last 20 years we have stayed in 4 units at resort( 3 oceanfront) and this is our favorite. This corner unit with a balcony on two sides is the ideal spot to watch whales and sunsets. The unit is well kept, comfortable and the owners are easy to deal with.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, age 55+.
Love this condo!

Review Submitted: 10/30/10
This was our first time in Hawaii and we booked used the website VRBO to choose the many rentals available. What we liked was the fact that this condo was on the ocean (of course!) and that it was a corner unit, on the third floor which made viewing spectacular. The unit was immaculate and had all the necessary items we needed. The owners are great to work with and we would LOVE to stay here again. The location of Papkea is very convenient to everything!

Honeymoon of my dreams!

Loved this condo. Spent a week on my honeymoon and enjoyed very much. Fully equiped kitchen, clean , great view from balcony and very comfortable. And yes ladies, it even comes with a hairdryer and hot roller set! So, pack light. We shopped at the grocery store right down the road and grilled out by the pool many nights. I don't think we ate a single meal inside, we ate on the balcony and caught awesome sunsets. Highly recommend. Can't wait until our next visit. Thank you for a truly romantic and relaxing time!

Review Submitted: 07/12/10
This oceanfront property was perfect! We never got tired of the ocean view or the sound of the waves. It had everything we needed and more. It was clean, comfortable, and close to everything including a wonderful farmers market. It was quiet and peaceful and at low tide you could walk all the way to Black Rock. There isn't a single negative about this property and we can't wait to come back during whale season...Paula
