About this property

GORGEOUS OCEANFRONT PENTHOUSE

Completely renovated true oceanfront 3 bedroom (2 bedroom plus loft) 3 bathroom penthouse in Papakea unit F405. The view is phenomenal!!! There is absolutely nothing in between you and the ocean which is 50 feet away. Whale watching from the living room, the lanai…even the master shower. Absolutely gorgeous renovation and EVERYTHING is new including the A/C. Not your average property, this bright and airy home with high vaulted ceilings is beautifully furnished with a casual beachy flair. The new 4 panel sliding door really opens up the indoor space to the lanai which is perfectly furnished for relaxing or socializing. Papakea has 3 “TRUE” oceanfront buildings and only a handful of 3 bedroom 3 bathroom suites and of these F405 is the most recently renovated.

Cancellation Policy. If your plans change and you need to cancel your booking we will refund the total booking amount once we have rebooked the property for the same amount of money. Please contact owner for more details.

Thoughtfully designed with an abundance of seating inside and out and a beautiful driftwood table that seats 10. Enjoy an afternoon of reading and relaxing on the lanai day bed listening to the lull of the ocean waves. Sit back and enjoy the gorgeous sunsets on the super comfy lounge chairs or enjoy your morning latte on the outdoor table for two. Large sectional for cozy evenings with the family watching movies on the big flat screen TV.

Need to get away? Enjoy the gorgeous master suite with luxurious king size upholstered bed, vaulted ceilings and cozy swivel chair to enjoy the stunning views. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves in the master bedroom and open up the beautiful new windows which allow an extra spacious opening to appreciate this amazing location.

The second bedroom on the main floor has a queen bed plus a built-in single bed on top of the owner’s lock off closet. The 3rd bedroom is a spacious loft area that is open to the living space but also has a sliding woven shade for additional separation and privacy. This bedroom has some ocean views and a queen bed along with a twin bed. We also have a queen size sofa bed in the living room. The stairs to the loft bedroom are narrower and slightly steeper than normal stairs, so not the best for somebody older.

We like quality, so we have not scrimped on beds, linens, towels, dishes etc. Beautiful upholstered beds, Saatva luxury mattresses. and fresh white Egyptian100 percent cotton sheets. We have an abundance of dishes, wine glasses, serving pieces etc. No need to go out for latte’s, with our Breville machine, also a drip coffee for those who prefer. Make smoothies with the Vitamix blender and fresh juice with the Champion Juicer. Our brand new full size washer and dryer is perfect for a large family.

If you read through some of the reviews you will see that I am very hands on and always available to answer any of your queries, and unexpected issues that can sometimes arise. I provide an extensive information manual to answer all your questions and I have things very well organized and labelled for your convenience. Our Maui home is kept impeccably clean.

We are perfectly situated in the complex to maximize the cooling trade winds and 4 nice big ceiling fans keep it naturally comfortably cool. But for those who want it really cool we have installed a brand new 4 zone A/C unit which cools all 3 bedroom and the living room separately.

We love our Papakea location just a short walk to so many amenities. The famed Kaanapali Beach is less than a 10 min walk away and this beautiful beach stretches over 2 miles to Black Rock point at the Sheraton and then beyond to Whaler’s Village and the Kaanaplia Resorts. For the runners and walkers in your group there is an approximately 7-mile return run along the boardwalk or along the ocean’s edge. Along the boardwalk there are a number of ocean front resort restaurants and bars to enjoy breakfast, lunch, happy hour or dinner. Dukes restaurant is a perfect spot for a sunset dinner and is a short ocean front walk away. There are a handful of yoga and fitness classes along the oceanfront that you can sign up for. Across the street are a variety of stores including a grocery store, fish market, coffee shop, Paradiso Pizza, & walk-in medical clinic etc. The quaint town of Lahaina is just a short 10 min drive away or a 30 min bike ride.

The straight goods on the beach: there is only a small amount of beach left in front of Papakea and this varies depending upon the time of year, swell and tides. Many years ago Papakea had an expansive beach which was washed away in a storm. Now if the tide is not too high, there is a bit of beach on the north or south end of the development. There are stairs leading down to the beach, but the beach is NOT large enough for lounge chairs. You can access the water there and if the waves are not too big you can see people swimming, snorkeling, boogie boarding and paddleboarding out in front. The water is not that deep as there is a reef out in front. Some days you can see kite surfers, wind surfers and surfers right in front! There is a multitude of places to take surf lesson or rent surboards all within a 10 minute drive of Papakea. The resort immediately south of us does have a beach which you can walk to in 2 minutes. That beach is wide enough that people do relax on towels & chairs. Our favorite closest beach is Kaanapali Beach which you can walk to in 10 mins. At the north end the waves tend to be a little bigger, and if you’re looking for calmer water or shade just head south. We really love the cove beaches at Napili Beach & Kapalua Bay and they are a 10 min drive north. There are lots of lounge chairs at Papakea and its lovely just to relax on the grass overlooking the ocean and then pop into the water if you want to cool down!

Papakea is a peaceful Hawaiian style low rise 13 acre family friendly oceanfront resort. At dusk every evening the magical twinkling tiki lights are lit and reflect on the Koi ponds through-out the property. Offers complimentary Wi-Fi, cable television and free local calls. There are 2 saltwater ocean front pools both heated to 86 degrees, 2 jacuzzi’s, 2 lit tennis courts, 2 pickleball courts, 2 shuffleboard courts, 2 eighteen hole putting greens, lush gardens with koi ponds, and 12 lit Weber BBQ’s.

Pool cabanas which accommodate up to 35 people for big family dinners. There are complimentary fitness classes including yoga, tai chi and swimmercise, complimentary Thur afternoon Mai Tai party & putting tournament on Sundays. Onsite Expedia concierge to assist with all your local tours.

Front desk reception to obtain your keycard and get directions to your room. Luggage carts, elevators and 2 sets of stairs provide easy access for your move in and out of this 4th floor unit.

Enjoy island fresh locally grown produce across from Honokowai Beach Park at the Farmer’s Market which also has smoothies, acai bowls, baked goodies and natural supplements.

The nightly fee is for 8 guests. If you have 9 or 10 guests there Is an extra fee to cover the extra cleaning and laundry fees and the extra wear and tear on the property.

Papakea charges a facilities fee of $17 per night for the 1st 10 days of your stay (maxes out at $170) in any 30 day period. This is paid by guests directly to the front desk when you check out.

We provide beach chairs, a cooler, boogie board or boards and a beach umbrella for your convenience. We have light weight fast drying beach towels for 10.

Absolutely no smoking or pets allowed – even on the lanai.

If you appreciate quality and are looking for something special for your next vacation choose Papakea F405. You will not be disappointed!

Excellent condo with breathtaking view of the Ocean!
Our family of 5 (2 adults + 12y, 14y & 16y kids) really enjoyed our week in this recently remodeled & well appointed condo. The owner/property manager was very responsive to our needs and went out of her way to help us!

Very unique: Truly Ocean Front AND Contemporary Interior!
The location of this condo could not be more perfect. Truly ocean front. Falling asleep and waking to the sound of the ocean waves hitting the shore is an incredible experience. The upgrades Dana has made on this unit are beautiful, to say the least. To have such a high end, fully updated condo this close to the water is uncommon and was a wonderful treat. The limited space in the condo is used very well in the way it is furnished and decorated. It feels very large and spacious. (We had 7 occupants and it still felt large, and we all had our own private spaces we could escape to if needed.) A highlight of the space, and worth mentioning, was the gorgeous lanai. Again, furnished very well to accomodate our party of 7 comfortably. There were days we didn't leave the condo, spending our time on the lanai, and because of the beautiful view of the ocean and even sea turtles swimming by, we didn't feel that we were missing out by staying in. Unfortunately for us, during our stay the resort had an emergency water shut off for about 6 hours. During this time we couldn't run water or flush toilets. Thankfully it wasn't so long that it was intolerable. We also experienced a power outage at the resort that lasted through one of the evenings. This was due to a vehicle accident in front of the resort. Everyone at the resort was in good spirits about having no power and there were quite a few BBQ parties down by the pools. Not something that Dana has any control over and doesn't affect our opinion of the condo, but I thought it was worth mentioning as they are memorable events from our time there. The air conditioning had a bit of learning curve for us, but we quickly figured it out. Dana has installed sensors on the lanai doors and the master bedroom window doors, so that the A/C with shut off if either of the doors are open for longer than a minute. So having A/C in the master while the lanai doors are open in the main area is not an option. We would have to discuss as a family when we wanted doors/windows open and when we wanted A/C. Not a problem, just something we had to figure out in the first couple days. So here's my heads up. Also, remembering to actually turn the A/C units OFF with the remotes before deciding to open the doors, instead of letting it shut of on its own - is best for the units, as we were told. So another tip there for you, should you stay in this beautiful condo. Over all, completely happy with our stay! Highly recommend!!

The perfect place!
We had the best stay in your condo. It was all that it was said to be. The condo was exactly what was shown in the pictures. Super clean, bright and airy! Having the boogie boards, beach towels, chairs and cooler was so appreciated. I'm so glad we found this place and we hope to stay again when we come back to Maui.

Beautiful ocean view.
The condo is in a great location. Unobstructed views. Pack your binoculars it will be worth it. A few things to point out with the condo. The on-line pics make it seem larger than it is. The stairs to the loft are VERY narrow. I’m 5’ and 95 lbs and used this room. It would be a tight squeeze on the stairs for anyone larger. The loft itself is a nice space. We didn’t have to use the AC as the breeze from the balcony door was plenty. We even got cold some nights. Which brings me to the need for extra blankets. That would be nice to have for the bedding. Still have the service fee for the use of the AC. Not hot enough for that and not cold enough to turn on the heat. The provided shampoo, conditioner and soap was random brands and had a strong scents that several of my family couldn’t tolerate. Not the type you find in a nice hotel. So plan to pack your good stuff. Few bugs which they say are normal. Not a problem. Cleaning staff could spend a bit more time around the coffee espresso machine. Washer/dryer is full size which is great. We were a group of older adults so we didn’t use any of the beach toys.

About the host

Hosted by Dana Inman

Host profile image
Neil and Dana are retired and live in Vancouver when they are not enjoying their beautiful Maui home. Dana loves interior design and wanted to create a beautiful beachy environment in their Maui home. We love being active and enjoy biking (mountain & road), hiking, running, kite surfing, paddle boarding, & now surfing! We can do all of this right out in front of our condo or a few minutes away!

Why they chose this property

We love our Papakea location, and that we can walk out our door and be on the Kaanapali board walk within minutes and stroll to numerous beaches, shops, restaurants & bars. We could be there quite happily without a car! The peaceful uncrowded old Hawaii feel of the 13 acre family friendly resort is exactly what we wanted.

What makes this property unique

We also love that we have the most amazing views. Waking up and going to sleep in the master bedroom is magical. Most of the newer buildings do not have the proximity to the water that we do.
