Romantic oceanfront 1 bedroom unit - luxury remodel.
From our fully air conditioned, beautifully (FULLY) renovated one-bedroom oceanfront condo, you'll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Molokai & Lanai across the tropical blue Hawaiian waters. Savor fiery sunsets from your lanai, or watch sea turtles, dolphins, or whales (in season) just off shore.
Most Papakea units have window-type air conditioners in the living room only. But our oceanfront Papakea home features a new, dual zone (living room AND bedroom) air conditioner. This means that even on those rare days when the tradewinds fail, you'll always be cool and comfortable!
Your Hawaiian home away from home has been completely renovated, and comes with everything you need. The fully equipped kitchen features granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. In the living room, you'll find a 47 inch TV with Blu-ray player and separate Bluetooth capable CD/IPod sound system, and comfortable designer furnishings. We've also provided a compact in-unit washer/dryer for your convenience. The bedroom features a king-size bed with luxurious pilowtop mattress to ensure your most comfortable night's sleep ever, and its own flat screen TV. Throughout, the condo showcases art by local Maui artists. We've also included beach towels, beach chairs, an small cooler, and boogie boards to make your beach time more enjoyable. On your oceanfront lanai, our bar height lanai set ensures there's nothing between you and the tropical Hawaiian waters.
Papakea's lovely, secluded tropical grounds cover 13 oceanfront acres, and include two pools and two jacuzzis, plus lighted tennis courts, putting greens, shuffleboards, and poolside BBQs. There's also free wifi internet, and an on site concierge to help you plan your on-island activities.
The location of Papakea couldn't be better. While Mother Nature removed Papakea's beach several years ago, you are just a short walk to famous Ka'anapali Beach and the boardwalk which stretches all the way south to Black Rock, and beyond. That means you have all the access to one of the best beaches in the world without the intrusion of crowds of beachgoers right outside your window. You are just steps from a terrific snorkeling reef, where you can enjoy swimming with the gorgeous Hawaiian fish and sea turtles. You are also within walking distance of casual dining, a coffee shop and grocery and convenience stores, and just a short 15 minute drive to either Lahaina or Kapalua.
Please note that Papakea Resort charges a facilities use fee of $17/day for the first 10 days of every 30 day stay, up to a maximum of $170 for any 30 consecutive day rental period. This fee is collected by the front desk, and covers such resort amenities as parking, pools and spas, tennis courts, putting greens and shuffleboards, cable TV and resort wide free internet.
NOTE REGARDING PAPAKEA SEAWALL PROECT - You may have read in other travelers' elsewhere that Papakea Resort began work in December 2015 to reinforce its aging seawall. The work was completed in Spring of 2017, and the resort seafront and grounds are completely restored. PAPAKEA IS BACK!!

About Carol Shearer
We first visited Hawaii in 1984, and ever since then dreamed of owning a home there. We love to travel, and have visited many places over the years, but Maui has a special place in our hearts.
Carol Shearer purchased this Condo in 2014
Why Carol Shearer chose Honokowai
The first time we ever visited Maui, we stayed at Papakea. The peaceful beauty of the place, and its incredible oceanfront location, won our hearts. The meandering paths, the beautiful koi ponds and grounds, and the property's sense of seclusion are truly special. The kindness and generosity of the Papakea staff always make us feel welcome, and the close proximity to all that West Maui has to offer made it the perfect place for us. And honestly, the nightly sunsets over the ocean are what we always dreamed of - they are spectacular!
What makes this Condo unique
We have completely renovated our condo from top to bottom. Cabinetry and tile, appliances and furnishings, even the art on the walls and the pots and pans in the kitchen are new. Our condo is truly oceanfront - 50 feet from the water, with stunning ocean views. The sounds of the sea will lull you to sleep at night, and greet you with the sun in the morning.

Loved this property.
The condo is just like our home including decor and colors. I especially like the art work. We saw 2 beautiful sunsets and an amazing rainbow that ended into the ocean right in front of our balcony. Best ever view of a rainbows end.
Perfect Home Away From Home!
Papakea 209-A was truly a home away from home! Carol and Dennis has done a wonderful job providing all of the household necessities. The resort grounds were clean, landscaping tranquil & employees friendly and helpful. As for the oceanfront view from the balcony...absolutely stunning! Pictures truly doesn't do it justice. Thank you for opening up your lovely place for others to enjoy. It was the perfect place to stay!
Aloha Julie - and mahalo for your wonderful review. Our goal has been to create a beautiful space for our guests, and I'm so glad you feel we've succeeded. It was our pleasure to welcome you as our guests. Mahalo!
A209 is divine
last unit in the complex so the sunset views are pretty exquisite along with the rainbows, honus, whales, and the sound of the sea breaking on reef through the night... thank you - Carol!!
It was our pleasure to be your hosts. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. We agree - the views from the lanai are pretty addicting!
A repeat customer!!!
We are happy to say that we've had the privilege to stay at Papakea A209 twice and it does not disappoint! The pictures do not do this lovely condo justice. The proximity to the ocean is so close that we have been able to watch a couple of turtles playing in the water from our lanai. And 2 sets of binoculars are provided for viewing the breaching whales and spinner dolphins in the distance...which was very exciting for us this trip. The owners of this condo are very attentive and have thought of everything. The kitchen has many gadgets and small appliances should you need to cook during your stay. Although we did not cook, we can say that the blender works great for making Lava Flow drinks! A209 is in a building that is closest to the ocean and this unit is on the end. This provides for much privacy, as opposed to the other buildings which have partial ocean views, but everyone also has a "view" into your condo from across the complex. But in building A, we really had a sense of complete privacy during our stay. Directly in front of the lanai is a small seasonal beach. Beach chairs, ice chest, boogie boards and more are available for your use in this condo. We took the chairs and our drinks to this little beach and never saw another guest for hours. Building A is also close to a private, gated entrance, so getting in and out of the Papakea complex is quick. There is so much to do on Maui and though this was our 7th trip over the past 25 years, we find so many new things to see and do each time. This condo is by far the best place we've stayed on Maui and we hope be back again and again!! We send warmest Aloha to Carol and Dennis for their hospitality and thank you for another wonderful stay in your beautiful Maui home!!!
Aloha Kim - It was a complete joy to welcome you back! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay once again, and found our Papakea home as comfortable as before. And I'm happy that our honus, whales and dolphins cooperated in making their seasonal appearance :) I hope we'll have the chance to be your Maui home away from home, the next time you visit the island. Mahalo!
Papakea’s Finest...
This was our third time staying at Papakea and our favorite unit we’ve stayed in by far. If you’re reading this, you can already see the pictures so you know the unit is gorgeous inside and out—the waves are literally right outside your door. Awesome to fall asleep to at night. Carol was a pleasure to work with—friendly, attentive, quick to respond to questions, and a very gracious host. The chocolates upon arrival were a great welcome. We highly recommend this unit and will definitely be back again!
WONDERFUL
LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS UNIT, ALONG WITH WORKING WITH CAROL WAS GREAT!
Location
Maui offers travelers just about everything imaginable in the way of activities and places to explore. Explore Maui's many gorgeous beaches - one of the best, Ka'anapali, begins at the south end of Papakea, and stretches for miles all the way to Black Rock and beyond. You can walk to several great restaurants situated along the beach. Other great West Maui Beaches include D.T. Fleming, Kapalua, Oneloa and Napili Bay, just a short drive north. A 15 minute drive south takes you to Lahaina Town, which has a rich history coupled with great shopping, dining, and activities such as parasailing, sunset dinner cruises, Molokini snorkling excursions, and boat trips to Lanai, as well as whale watching cruises in season. Drive south around the island toward Kihei and Wailea to find more beautiful beaches, or to enjoy the Shops at Wailea. Head upcountry to explore the galleries in Makawao and the sweeping vistas of Kula and Ulupalakua. Take a day and experience the beauty of the famous (and infamous) drive to Hana, or greet the day at the top of Mount Haleakala. But don't forget to save time to watch the sunset from your oceanfront lanai! If you choose to stay in for dinner, there's a supermarket just across the street, Fish Market Maui that sells the catch of local fishermen and seafood meals to go just a block north of Papakea, and a 3-day-a-week farmer's market just a quarter mile north.
