Papakea F207: Oceanfront Studio
Total renovation completed in October 2025:
The kitchen is where island living meets culinary dreams - premium walnut cabinetry with whisper-quiet soft-close mechanisms, brand-new stainless steel appliance suite, convenient built-in ice maker for your mai tais, and a full complement of cookware and dinnerware. The breathtaking Taj Mahal stone countertops are perfect for prepping your fresh poke or morning açai bowls.
Pamper yourself with luxurious Kohler bathroom appointments, including a fully tiled shower that offers the best of both worlds - a soothing shower head and a handheld spray for those “wash off the salt and sunscreen” moments. The sophisticated beach-themed vanity provides plenty of storage for all your island essentials.

No Hidden Resort Fees! Unlike most resorts, Papakea doesn’t charge daily resort fees - the price you see is the total price you pay.
DESCRIPTION: Experience Maui’s magic from your private lanai in our remodeled oceanfront sanctuary. Papakea F207 offers front-row seats to nature’s most spectacular show - vibrant sunsets painting the sky, majestic whales breaching during season, and sea turtles gliding through crystal waters below.
This second-floor haven features brand-new everything, including a fully equipped kitchen with ice-maker and modern appliances perfect for creating island-inspired meals. The luxurious king bed faces the ocean, allowing you to drift asleep to the rhythm of gentle waves.
Your beachfront retreat includes thoughtful upgrades like a split A/C unit, a private washer/dryer, and a beautifully redesigned bathroom with Kohler and quartzite finishes. Entertainment comes easy with a wall-mounted Smart TV and complimentary 5G Wi-Fi.
Perfectly positioned at the resort’s center, F207 offers the ideal balance of privacy and convenience - close to both pools and grill stations yet wonderfully secluded. The unobstructed panoramic views of Molokai and Lanai islands create a backdrop for unforgettable moments: morning coffee while spotting sea turtles, al fresco dining during technicolor sunsets, and occasional rainbows arching magnificently across the Pacific.
This intimate oceanfront escape comfortably accommodates two guests, making it the perfect romantic getaway and peaceful retreat for experiencing Hawaii’s breathtaking beauty.
Your slice of paradise awaits. Two guests. Countless memories.
Please Note: 1) We also have a one-bedroom unit F306 within the same building, providing excellent guest accommodations for visiting family members or friends.
2) We switched to self managing both properties in June 2025. Although our previous reviews didn’t transfer, we’ve been welcoming satisfied guests to these properties since 2020.
—PROPERTY UPDATE— PLUMBING IMPROVEMENTS AT PAPAKEA RESORT: We’re excited to share that Papakea Resort is enhancing the property with updated plumbing throughout the resort. While some light construction activity may occasionally be heard outdoors, we have wonderful news: Construction is complete on buildings A through J. These updated building areas offer a peaceful experience with easy access to all resort amenities. Work on building K will begin at the end of December, 2025.
Details: 1) Work typically takes place from 8am - 5pm, Monday through Friday. 2) Crew members may arrive for quiet setup as early as 7am. 3) Any louder activities are scheduled to begin after 10am to respect morning relaxation. 4) The overall project is expected to wrap up around June 2026, and we’ve adjusted our rates during this period as a way of saying thank you for your understanding.
Staying in our beautifully updated areas means you’ll enjoy a tranquil experience while still having full access to everything Papakea has to offer. We appreciate your patience as we work to make your future visits even better!

This property was fabulous - especially our room. We were able to enjoy the ocean view and sunset from our room and lanai. The host Susan communicated well throughout the entire process. She answered all of my questions before arrival and the Aloha guide was informative. She was also available during our stay if needed. Loved our first time on Maui and will definitely come back to Papakea F207

Aloha Andrea, this truly made us smile! 😊 We love hearing that you were able to soak up those ocean views and catch a Maui sunset right from your lanai — that’s the magic of F207, and we’re so glad it delivered for you.
A first trip to Maui is something you never forget, and it sounds like it left quite an impression! Whenever the island calls you back, we’d love to have you in F207 again — it’ll be here waiting for you.
Mahalo for the wonderful review and for choosing Sapphire Shores. We hope to see you again!

Papakea F207 is an excellent unit. I had everything I needed and there were some items that were present that I didn't know I needed until I was on island, for example, binoculars! The unit was spotless clean, all of the appliances worked and the furniture was comfortable. The ocean front view is spectacular! The unit is perfect for couple or solo travelers.

Mahalo Stephanie for the wonderful review!
We’re so happy you enjoyed F207 and discovered some unexpected treasures like the binoculars—perfect for whale watching from your lanai! It’s great to know the unit met all your needs and that the oceanfront view made your stay special.
We’d love to welcome you back to Papakea anytime!
Warmest aloha,
Susan
Amenities were very nice. We could tell thought went into the space and how it was decorated and furnished. The coolers provided came in handy for running to the store and for taking drinks with us to the pool or Road to Hana. Beach chairs and towels are included too. Local area was excellent for views and stuff to do. Old Lahaina Luau was an excellent time. Great food and service and awesome show. There are quite a few good food places in walking distance of the condo. Slappy Cakes has great breakfast, Pizza Paradiso is good, Penny’s (new in last 4 months) has homemade ice cream (Banana Bread Sundae is excellent), and Captain Jacks (short drive away) was very good food with good portions (we went there twice). Aloha Mixed Plate in Lahaina had a good taste of local cuisine.

Mahalo for taking the time to share such wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay and discovered so many fantastic local spots.
Your recommendations are gold! We’ve added them all to our Aloha Guide so future guests can enjoy these gems too. And we’re so glad the Old Lahaina Luau lived up to its reputation - it truly is special.
Thank you for being such wonderful guests and we’d be happy to welcome you back when the island calls again.
A hui hou,
Susan
About the host
Your host
Aloha!
We’re Steve and Susan, passionate longtime Maui lovers who fell so deeply in love with this magical island that we made it our mission to share that experience with others. After years of exploring every hidden beach, local eatery, and breathtaking sunset spot as visitors, we invested in two beautiful properties in 2019 to create unforgettable vacation experiences for fellow travelers.
For over five years, we’ve been dedicated to hosting guests who return year after year, drawn by both the island’s natural beauty and our commitment to exceptional hospitality. This June, we made the exciting decision to personally manage both properties, allowing us to provide even more attentive, customized service and direct communication with our guests. Please note that while you may see zero reviews on our current listings, this is simply because our extensive review history remained with our previous management company when we transitioned to self-managing. We’re excited to start building our review collection again while continuing to provide the same exceptional hospitality our guests have enjoyed for years.
Our passion is ensuring every guest experiences the magic that first captured our hearts here. From the moment you arrive until your reluctant departure, we’re committed to keeping you informed, comfortable, and inspired. We know that when you fall in love with Maui the way we did, one visit is never enough - and we can’t wait to welcome you back to our island paradise again and again.
Book with confidence knowing you’re staying with hosts who truly understand what makes a Maui vacation extraordinary.
Warmest aloha, Steve & Susan
