This Papakea condominium has a commanding ocean view of Molokai and Lanai. You will be able to enjoy breakfast or toast the sunset from the privacy of your own lanai that is just 50 feet from the ocean. Winter is the season for whale and dolphin watching; bring your binoculars.
You will awake to the sites and sounds of the beautiful surf from your loft sleeping suite. Perk some Kona coffee and start your day Maui style, slow and easy. A morning walk along the ocean will take you as far away as Black Rock on beautiful Kaanapali Beach or as close as the off shore reef.
Papakea has 13 acres of lush gardens with tropical koi ponds. The tennis courts, putting greens and pools/hot tubs make your time as relaxing or as busy as you chose. Children especially enjoy swimming in the pools and making sand castles by the ocean. You have the option of dining in by using the newly remodeled kitchen or by barbecuing poolside or by heading out to any one of the numerous restaurants within a five mile radius.
The main floor bedroom can sleep three with one queen-size bed and one twin bed. The loft sleeping area sleeps two on a queen-size bed and has its own bathroom. There is also a high quality queen-size sleeper sofa in the livingroom.
Please come and spend your vacation at our Papakea home-away-from-home.

Maui Budget Condo with Oceanfront Luxury at Papakea
Why the Owner Chose Papakea Resort
Location, Location, Location. After many visits to the Island and staying in many places, we chose Papakea because it is at just the right spot on the coast. Further north was too windy and further south was too hot. Papakea is just right. Being on the 4th floor we have a vaulted ceiling which makes the condo feel like the living room is part of the outdoors.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Nothing can beat the fantastic sunsets from our lanai. We look straight out to Molokai with Lanai a little off to the left. The front windows stay open the entire time we are there so that we can listen to the sound of the ocean coming to shore. We have new solar panels in the front room, so when those panels are closed we can still see the ocean and have our privacy at the same time. We BBQ once or twice every visit and often times just stay in the ocean side cabana and eat our dinner there.
All you need 10 minutes by foot at the shopping center, which features: Times Supermarket (formerly Star Market) Java Jazz & Soup Nuts Snorkel Bob's Maui Art & Gifts Nachos Grande Pizza Paradi
Hawaii's famous convenience store chain. Food, drink, beach / pool items and more. Adjacent to Papakea !!
Owner's Map of Papakea Resort
Hello To All -
Lou & I (Patty) have enjoyed raising our children with fun filled Papakea vacations. Now we are bringing our grandchildren. We are blessed. Papakea has a family friendly environment. Our unit, L-404, was totally renovated and remodeled a few years ago. The results were even better than we expected; it’s incredible. Come and share our home away from home. Since we are both retired now, we try to get over there as often as we can. We keep the calendar (link above) up-to-date. We have already been over twice since Lou retired and enjoyed buying new curtains and doing the little detail fix-ups.
One of our many favorite parts of the day is to grab some pineapple or papaya with a slice of toast and sit out on the lanai as we ease into the day.
Our children also still enjoy Papakea. All 3 of them have time booked this year - one for her honeymoon. Right now "fun" is defined as preparing for the wedding - 6 months to go. So far so good.

We stayed for 10 days and could have easily stayed for 10 more!! Our family of four was very comfortable in this very clean and very well stocked condo and the view is to die for!! Everything about our vacation was perfect from waking up to the sound of the crashing waves each day, to lazing by the pool, to playing mini golf competions, to watching the sunset from the Lanai each night. Papakea Resort is wonderful and well maintained. We can't wait to return!!

Our family of five stayed here in the latter half of August 2011. We were so impressed with this unit! It was clean, well-stocked and organized; the furniture was clean, functional and high quality. Everything about the condo unit is in excellent condition. We were in Maui to attend a wedding, and of the 50 other guests who attended and stayed at various units in Papakea Resort, this was the best one by far. Three separate air conditioning units ensured every room was comfortable to sleep in. The password door lock (keyless!) was very convenient. The view is this unit is unsurpassed and worth every penny you will pay for it! The crashing waves can be seen from bed in the loft--a wonderful way to wake up! Papakea Resort is calm and well-maintained. Quiet hours are strictly enforced so you will not be kept up by loud neighbours. The waterfront is also very private compared to the neighbouring resorts.

We stayed in this beautiful unit in July. What a gorgeous view, in the evening we could sit on the lanai and watch the sunset. The property is well kept and beautifully maintained -- the pool and hot tub a great place to relax. Loved the multi-zone A/C in the unit -- everyone was able to stay comfortable. Also, there is a travel planner available in the lobby everyday. She was wonderful and helped us plan our entire trip the day we arrived, so no valuable vacation time was lost searching through brochures and calling for reservations, she took care of it all. We're ready to move to Maui...if only we could.

oh my the condo was excellent and quite big. our family of 4 had a ton of room. We just loved the space. Papakea was excellent as well. having a pool was extra fun. being in west maui near shoping and basic supplies made it all easy - big fun was the Jazz Cafe across the street. Find Yoda if you can!

The pictures do not do the view justice. The moment we opened the door we were welcomed with bright sunshine and a beautiful view! When you're up in the loft, it almost feels like you're on a cruise ship since all you see is ocean out front; that's literally how close you are to the water. The place was super clean and comfortable. Plenty of grills near the pool area and a grocery store close by. The only thing I would say is observe the check in and out times. It didn't even occur to us that our flights didn't align well so we spent several hours locked out. The view was worth it all though!

Three lucky mothers,(my sister, my daughter and myself),spent a wonderful few days in this gorgeous condo..Everything was exactly all we could have asked for and more,and Lou the owner was great to deal with through the whole renting process. The unit is very comfortable,and has been completely updated,and furnished beyond our expectations.We have rented from owners before and have been disappointed on occasion, so this was a nice surprise.On my next visit to Maui,there is no question but renting the same unit ,and if my husband is a good boy, I just might bring him along!!!

Lou and Patty, We recently spent 10 days at the Papakea Resort and loved your condo...(sensational views and fourth floor location). Probably one of the best units in the place. My wife liked the well stocked kitchen as well as the cleanliness of the entire condo. We found the sleeping arrangements to be perfect for our family of four...the AC units are a nice touch too. I don't think we left one inch of the island untouched this time either! We went scuba diving and snorkeling, drove the road to Hana (and came back around the SW side), went up on Haleakala, and drove most of the West Maui coast. As always, lots to do and too little time. We also enjoyed the pool side BBQ one night. We met another couple staying at the Papakea...they wanted to see your condo as a comparison to the one they were renting. Let me just say, they were impressed and will be seeking you out in the future! Thanks again to your attention to detail in every respect! Mahalo!

We returned to this wonderful condo again this year--another month in paradise!! Watching whales and dolphins from the lanai, happy hour on the lanai, warm evenings eating on the lanai and people watching during the early morning (from the lanai of course). Getting off the lanai, we enjoyed all that the resort has to offer--the hot tubs, swimming pool, immaculately landscaped grounds, For us, there is not a better resort on Maui. Everything you need is close--groceries, restaurants, snorkeling. The condo has been renovated, is fully equipped and very comfortable (guaranteed by the AC). Our family has been guests here for three of the past four years--will we back--you bet!

Christmas in Paradise

Review Submitted: 01/11/11
Our family had a wonderful time at Papakea. We have stayed at the resort 3 times because of its location on the leeward shore of Maui (read nice weather), access to great beaches for swimming and snorkeling, the amenities at Papakea and the proximity to Lahaina. This condo was by far the best we have stayed in with its ocean front view where you can have breakfast and watch the whales jump. It has clearly been recently re-modeled and has air conditioning which not all of the condos have. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and although there isn’t a beach on the property, our teenagers had a good time boogie boarding just down the shoreline. With a grocery store just across the street, we also took full advantage of the condo's kitchen and BBQs by the pool to take a break from eating out. If you are internet dependent like our family who brought three laptops, the free wireless wasn’t screaming fast but let everyone stay connected during downtime between activities. We enjoyed interacting with Lou and Patty and will definitely contact them for the condo’s availability the next time we head to Maui and highly recommend you do the same.
