Welcome to The Hokulani â Your Maui Home Away From Home
Imagine starting each morning with a cup of coffee while watching the sun rise over the lush West Maui Mountains. By afternoon, youâre snorkeling with sea turtles, enjoying lunch at Dukeâs Beach House, or relaxing beside one of Papakeaâs oceanfront pools. As evening arrives, youâll have front-row seats from your private lanai as the Pacific Ocean glows with one of Mauiâs unforgettable sunsets.
Welcome to The Hokulani, our top-floor penthouse at Papakea Resort.
Located on the fourth floor with no neighbors above you, this spacious two-bedroom, two-bath condominium combines spectacular views, thoughtful amenities, and one of the best locations on Mauiâs west side.

We Canât Wait to Welcome You
Whether youâre celebrating a special occasion, reconnecting with family, escaping the winter, or simply looking for a peaceful place to unwind, we hope The Hokulani becomes part of your favorite Maui memories.
Weâd be honored to host your stay and share our little piece of paradise with you.
Aloha! Weâre the McDonald and Carroll families, and weâre so happy youâve chosen to stay at The Hokulani.
Hokulani Partners, LLC is a family-owned business founded by sisters Dana McDonald and Deanne Carroll, along with our families. Our love for Maui began in the early 1980s, and after decades of returning to the island, we were fortunate enough to purchase this special condo and share it with guests from around the world.
We live on the mainland, but Maui has always felt like our second home. Some of our favorite days are spent enjoying a morning walk along the ocean, snorkeling with sea turtles, paddleboarding, watching whales during the winter months, grilling dinner by the pool, and ending the day with one of Mauiâs unforgettable sunsets from the lanai.
As owners, we continually invest in The Hokulani because we want it to feel like a true homeânot just a vacation rental. Every improvement, every furnishing, and every recommendation in our Welcome Guide is something weâve chosen with our own family and guests in mind.
Our greatest compliment is when guests tell us they canât wait to return. We hope youâll create wonderful memories here and come back to enjoy The Hokulani year after year.
Mahalo for staying with us, and welcome to our Maui home!
We fell in love with Papakea many years ago, and when this top-floor penthouse became available, we knew it was something truly special. The panoramic 180° views of the Pacific Ocean, lush tropical grounds, and the West Maui Mountains are simply breathtaking.
One of our favorite things about staying here is that you can park your car and walk almost everywhere. Start your morning with coffee on the lanai, stroll to the Farmers Market or Times Supermarket, spend the day snorkeling or relaxing at the beach, then walk to Dukeâs Beach House for dinner and one of their famous Mai Tais while watching the sunset. Papakea offers the perfect balance of peaceful island living while being just minutes from everything West Maui has to offer.
One of the things that makes The Hokulani truly special is that it offers the best of both worlds, an incredible location for couples seeking a peaceful island escape and plenty of space for families creating unforgettable Maui memories.
As a top-floor end-unit penthouse, youâll enjoy extra privacy, vaulted ceilings, cooling trade winds, and breathtaking 180° panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Papakeaâs lush tropical grounds, and the West Maui Mountains. There are no neighbors above you, making it a quiet and relaxing place to unwind.
The unique loft with its own full bathroom gives families and groups extra room to spread out, while the primary bedroom on the main floor offers privacy, blackout curtains, a smart TV with cable and its own dedicated air conditioning for a comfortable nightâs sleep.
Weâve also stocked the condo with many of the extras that make traveling easier, including beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, life jackets, sand toys, a Pack ân Play, high-chair/booster seat, and other beach essentials. Our goal is for you to spend less time packing and shopping, and more time enjoying everything Maui has to offer.
Most importantly, The Hokulani is more than just a vacation rental, itâs our familyâs Maui home. We continually invest in the condo and thoughtfully maintain it so every guest can enjoy the same unforgettable experience that has kept our family coming back to Maui for decades.
