This spectacular third floor direct oceanfront unit features breathtaking views of the islands of Lanai and Molokai from your lanai, living room, kitchen and master bedroom. Our two-bedroom condo, in the highly desirable Papakea 'L' Building, is just steps from the water's edge and world-famous Kaanapali Beach. You can walk for miles or snorkel with the turtles and fish. Two pools and two spas are on site if you wish to do nothing at all, or relax in the new split AC system with individually-controlled bedroom cooling units.

Enjoy beautiful sunsets each night as you dine on your private lanai. Look for the green flash! Watch for stars and planets you often don't see on the mainland and the distant evening lights on Molokai. When you don't want to cook in the airy remodeled kitchen, grill on Papakea's gas grill collection, you can get takeout from nearby food trucks or take a very short drive to Kaanapali, Kapalua, or Napili and enjoy world-class seafood.

Winter is the season for whale and dolphin watching. You can easily see them from our third floor vantage point. Bring your binoculars and camera.

Well-maintained and previously featured on the Homeowners Tour of premium condos, the condo sleeps four with a luxury king-size bed in the master and a queen-size in the second bedroom. When you want nothing but fresh sea air, the Maui tradewinds filter through the condo. Otherwise, the unit is air-conditioned throughout with two LG Smart TV's, one in master, one in living / dining room. There is a hair dryer in each bath and free wi-fi. An elevator is nearby for easy access. All rooms are on the same level.

Papakea (crest of the wave) Resort is a tropical oasis on 13 acres of gorgeous landscaping, with koi ponds, two oceanfront pools, hot tubs, and putting greens, three lighted tennis courts, shuffleboard and 12 gas barbecues. Low density development assures you that it's not crowded. It's set back from the road, so you hear no traffic, only the crashing surf. It is minutes away from shops, museums, restaurants and galleries in nearby Whalers Village. Or, walk to the food trucks, supermarket, deli, restaurants, or shops across the street. This will be your vacation of a lifetime! Book now for best availability!

Note: Papakea Resort charges its own separate resort fee of $25/night which is collected separately at checkout. Parking for one vehicle is included; additional vehicle parking is $5/night.

Papakea Resort is upgrading interior plumbing in all condos through mid 2026. Our L building is expected to be closed for this construction from February 2026 through April 2026, but the final schedule will not be known until 2025. Feel free to submit an inquiry through this VRBO page if you would like to be contacted if these dates become available.

The County of Maui will be considering which resorts may continue operating as short-term rental properties sometime in 2025. We will continue to comply with Hawaii state and Maui county rules. We continue to accept reservation requests through 2025 based on the best available information.

    We just got back from the most wonderful vacation staying at the Papakea. The hosts are outstanding, and made the details leading up to, and during our stay, very easy to relax and have an amazing time. The views are incredible and the unit is stocked with everything you need. The Papakea is a very special place, and so is this outstanding condo. Thank you for providing such a wonderful home!! We will definitely be back!

    Condo was exactly as described in listing. Balcony faces west so you can view the beautiful sunsets between islands of Lanai and Molokai. Condo kitchen was adequately supplied with items needed for cooking meals and it also had nice supply of lawn chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling equipment, etc......was nice to not have to rent those items. Also liked having the washer/dryer.

    We’ve stayed at Papakea several times and this is a great place, it has it all. Great view, we saw a whale, turtle and a seal. It is very well equipped - from to kitchen to the closet packed full of activity stuff. Cooler, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, snorkeling gear. Kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need, and all very nice.

    The property is older, and the grounds seemed a little rundown. We also had an unannounced water outage which lasted from late afternoon until after we went to bed. This was obviously not the fault of the owner, but was inconvenient. The front desk gave no estimate of when the water might be turned on again. Although the condo itself was lovely, I would hesitate to stay at Papakea again.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Ben and Lisa's condo. We frequently stay at Papakea and this was one of my favorite units. It was clean, comfortable, well stocked, and we loved spending time enjoying the incredible view. Communication leading up to our stay was great, and we were so appreciative of an early check-in on arrival day. Thank you so much Ben and Lisa for sharing your home with us, it was paradise!
