About this property

Maui One BR Tropical Retreat: Enjoy Papakea Resort With No Hidden Fees

With so much to enjoy on the resort grounds or within a short walk, a little planning goes a long way toward affordability on Maui: Dine at one of many local restaurants, catch happy hour and some of the best live music on Maui, all within a few hundred yards of our place. Skip the drive across the island to find turtles- they are right out front! Enjoy the privacy of our ground-floor residence with Koi Ponds and manicured tropical foliage just outside our lanai. Spend the day enjoying the resort amenities, including a heated swimming pool and hot tub, six barbeques, a covered cabana, a shuffleboard deck, and a twelve-hole putting green. Reserve a cabana to share food and fun at your own private party (holds up to 20 guests).

Relax by the seawall and enjoy unobstructed views of the islands of Molokai and Lanai. Humpback whales winter here from December through April, and the best sunsets on Maui occur each evening!

Stroll around the 13-acre property, and you'll understand why Papakea Resort is an award-winning destination. The immaculate grounds are lush with tropical horticulture, including Plumeria and palm trees, birds of paradise, and other tropical flora.

If you're up for a longer walk, take the path to the south of Papakea, across the canal bridge. From there, the Kaanapali Boardwalk stretches nearly three miles to Whalers Village, meandering along the famous coastline and resorts.

If you prefer a day on the beach, help yourself to our cooler, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, and towels. We also have golf putters and pickleball paddles.

We spend most of the year at our Papakea Condo, so get it while you can! Over the years, we've made many improvements, including new tile floors, an upgraded bathroom with a walk-in shower, and new furniture/decorations.

Our kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need for any meal. There is a safe, iron/ironing board, washer/dryer. New LG 48-inch QLED TV in the living room. Free WiFi in our unit and a hotspot in both cabanas.

With no ‘resort fees,’ the quoted price is final (for room, parking, and taxes). Any other fees would only apply to booking activities, etc.

PLEASE NOTE!!
- The resort is undergoing a plumbing renovation project. Our building is complete, and they are now working on buildings far removed from any noise/disruption, etc.

The condo was great. Tons of amenities: towels, boogie boards, tennis rackets, etc! Loved the location at the north end of Kaanapali, short walk for groceries, food trucks, groovy bar with live music nightly. Couldn’t have asked for a better getaway!

Great stay

Our first time to Maui, so many things to do, the property was well kept, clean and comfortable. A short walk to the beach, pool, nearby restaurants. Nearby golf, snorkling and hikes. This is a group of buildings along the waterfront in a great area of the island. Hope to return again soon. I would book a second stay as my first preference. Parking lot is very tight and late night parking is challenging, most of the time we returned before nightfall.

Beautiful ground floor unit

Gregg was very responsive/helpful upon check in. The unit was beautifully updated, well furnished and the king bed was comfortable. The unit is conveniently located right next to the ABC store for grocery items and parking spots for the condo. We have stayed at a few different Units at Papakea and we would return to this again! Thank you for the stay!

Great location, about 10 min to downtown Lahaina, 3 min car (10 walking) to Kaanapali beach, 12 min to Napili Bay. Very charming apartment, nice decor. Steps to the ocean, literally less than one minute walking to see a beautiful view.

Affordable condo with a view

All in all the condo was an excellent value although it could use a little TLC in places. There were a couple of holes in the walls and a loose base board. It worked perfect for our small family. We were very thankful to have the air conditioning too since it was a warmer than normal first couple of days. The resort itself is nice and quite beautiful but not necessary well suited for children. There are many rules for the grounds as well as the pool areas that we normally don’t have to deal with which is no fault of the owners. Even with all of this we would most likely rent the unit again in the future.

Beautiful place to call home for awhile!

We spent just over a week here, and it was amazing! The grounds are kept up impeccably and even though the units are older, the care and maintenance is top notch! We had our 11 year old daughter with us, and she loved the pool, shuffleboard, tennis, and my husband and I appreciated the fact that there were boogie boards, pool toys, and beach chairs! The condo is outfitted well with a perfect amount of supplies to cook, clean, and enjoy your stay! We barbecued 3 of the nights and cooked most other nights. The one drawback is that the tile floors and the bedroom carpet are ready for a steam cleaning, but that is to be expected with a beach condo. We also would have preferred to have a couple more pillows in the master bedroom, a few more dish towels for the kitchen and hand towels for the bathroom, but everything else was taken care of! Having a washer and dryer in the unit was amazing and so was having a few spices on hand! We would definitely come back to Papakea and even the same unit!

Great location, needs new sofa bed and better cleaning

This is my second time at Papakea Resort since I enjoyed the location and sunset views here. This time, I opted for ground level unit. This allowed us a backyard where we can just walk out and go to pool, ocean, and watch the sunsets. Pros: Location, very easy drive to many locations in West Maui like Lahaina, Kapalua, Napili, Kaanapali. Noise level is good. Neighbors are considerate and not terribly loud Ground level, nice outdoor table for brunch. Cons: Bugs There were 4 black moths during our first night, all came out of hiding from the plants and curtains. 3rd night, found a cockroach. Plants in vase were dead and dried up. Should be relaxed if you have new guests Sofa bed/futon was heavily used. Sunken in and hard to sleep in. This place was advertised for 4 people but it would be hard to have two adults sleep in this sofa Furnitures need to be dusted

Mellie K.

Overall property is well manicured and managed well. Therefore aesthetically pleasing.

When I arrived the condo smelled like bacon. Some might like this with the recent bacon craze however it didn't communicate cleanliness. This particular unit is directly in front of the elevator so as you can imagine I was painfully aware of all arrivals and departures regardless of the hour. RR forget about it. My first day I noticed roach motels strewn under beds, under the TV etc. Mental note not staying here next time. To top it off there is a greasy spoon Ono Kau Kau Mixed Plate directly in front of this unit Lower Honoapiilani Rd that spews greasy smoke that is carried directly across this unit. So don't think of opening the bedroom window for some early AM maui cross winds. You will be disappointed. You and all of your belongings will smell like you worked the AM shift. BTW great place to eat.

Perfect Stay

We enjoyed our stay in the well-maintained complex with plenty of activities. The condo was perfect for our family. The unit was clean and nicely redone with everything we needed for our stay. The unit was within walking distance of restaurants, groceries, and shops. The pool was heated and the grounds were very well maintained with tennis courts, pickle ball, putting green, shuffleboard and snorkeling steps from the condo. The sunsets and the whale watching were spectacular. Great stay!

We love this location!

We love staying at Papakea. This is our first time in this unit. It was a bottom floor and that was even better. The unit was nice and clean. The kitchen could use some higher quality utensils, but who’s cooking? Well, me, but I overcame. We had a noise with the a/c but used earplugs and reported the issue to the owner. Nothing that would keep me from renting this unit again. Thank you Greg!

Everything we needed.

Is this the Ritz-Carlton? No. However, for anyone just needing a place to stay while 95% of your time is elsewhere on the island, this place has it all. Kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, cups, bowls, cooking items, etc. The washer/dryer was absolutely clutch and the bed was surprisingly very comfortable. The bottom floor allowed us quick access to the water and wonderful views. Check-in process was quick, easy and the location was near food, grocery, coffee shops and an ABC store. Would certainly stay again.

Great Place & Great Hosts

We enjoyed our stay here. The flat was just as described, and a very good value. The owners were kind and easy to communicate with. The complex is family-friendly, quiet and steps from the ocean. Supermarket, restaurants, food trucks, snorkel rental & urgent care are just across the street, so very useful when you are travelling with family. Whaler's village is about a 7 minute drive away if you want more action. Overall, we had a great stay and we really liked the location.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie and Gregg Leitz

Host profile image
We've been coming to Hawaii for 40 years, married on Kauai in 1985. We travel extensively but of all the places in the world we have been, Hawaii is truly paradise.

Why they chose this property

We've stayed at Papakea many times over the years because of the private atmosphere and laid back style. Set upon 13 acres, there is plenty of room to enjoy the pools, BBQ's, ocean views and other amenities without the noise and crowds of a high rise resort. And yet, the famous Kaanapali beach and charming town of Lahaina are only a few minutes away.

What makes this property unique

> Wide open views of the islands of Lanaii and Molokai, from resort property
> Whale watching from property (in season)
> Walking distance to local markets, food carts, and other restaurants
> Beach-front boardwalk spans 2 miles, starting on south end of Papakea property
