From this comfortable and recently updated 4th floor condo, F407, you will enjoy spectacular ocean views, turtles, whales (in season), islands, and sunsets. You will feel like you are sitting right on the water! It has two bedrooms (one of them is an open loft bedroom) and sleeps 6 (4 beds). The primary bedroom has a queen bed and the loft has one queen and two twin beds. Perfect for couples or a family (not recommended for children under 7 due to steep loft stairs). The building has an elevator.

You will enjoy wonderful renovations completed in June 2024, including a full kitchen and partial bath renovation (bamboo cabinets and quartz countertops!) and other updates. A tri-zone AC system was installed in May 2023. The condo is now even more amazing!

Enjoy the sound of ocean waves! You will love your morning coffee and eating meals on the lanai (balcony) while enjoying the stunning view of Molokai and Lanai. Inside, the vaulted ceiling gives the condo a spacious feel. High-end sliding glass doors open fully to give the condo a true indoor-outdoor ambiance!

This property changed hands in December 2022. The reviews from the previous owner (all reviews prior to December 2022) were transferred to this listing to give as much information as possible to future guests. Please do not hesitate to reach out for any information.

Our condo is much better equipped than the typical rental and set up like a friend's beach home, including beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, boogie boards, and pool noodles. The kitchen is very well-stocked with everything you may need, including Mai Tai glasses, Instant Pot, Nespresso machine (uses Original Line capsules), and a good quality drip coffee machine.

Papakea Resort is located on 13 acres in North Kaanapali/Honokawai and exudes Hawaiian charm, with lush gardens and koi ponds, as well as two swimming pools, two jacuzzi hot tubs, tennis and pickle ball courts, putting greens, shuffleboard, and gas BBQ grills for guest use. Free wifi internet access is available throughout the resort.

Papakea Resort is fee-free as of July 1, 2025! Enjoy all the amenities of the resort at no extra cost: weekly Mai Tai party, weekly lei-making class, exercise classes, tennis rackets/balls, pickle ball rackets/balls, and miniature golf putters/balls).

The location is outstanding! You are within steps of the Kaanapali boardwalk/trail, with breathtaking views. Restaurants, food trucks, a grocery store, a fish market, shops, and more are within walking distance.

The sand in front of Papakea comes and goes depending on the weather and tides. There is a sea wall, and steps leading down. Weather and waves permitting, people swim and snorkel in front of Papakea. Lounge chairs on the grass behind the sea wall provide a delightful area to relax, read, or soak in the ocean view. Sandy North Kaanapali beach is steps away. There is fantastic snorkeling at popular nearby Kahekili (Airport) Beach.

The historic town of Lahaina was destroyed by a heartbreaking fire in August 2023. West Maui is open and welcoming respectful, compassionate, and generous visitors - please bring your aloha with you. Lahaina town (and the surrounding burn zone) remains closed.

State taxes will be applied: Hawaii General Excise Tax (4.712%); Hawaii Transient Accommodation Tax (10.25% in 2025 and 11% as of Jan. 1, 2026); and Maui Transient Accommodation Tax (3%). (These are included in the VRBO total price.)

Please note:
1. Papakea resort is undertaking a 2-year phased Internal Renovation project to update all plumbing, working on one building at a time. The work (8am-5pm M-F) should not be audible in the condo but will be audible and visible on some parts of the property. From August-October 2025, the work will be on a nearby building, and the condo is priced to take this into account. From November 2025 onwards, the work will be on buildings far from the condo. More details are available if you have any concerns.

2. Parking for one vehicle is free. An additional vehicle is $5/day.

Feel free to contact me if you have ANY questions. I grew up on Maui and would be glad to provide additional information.

    AThis place is perfect. The host has done an amazing job with the setup. They thought of everything so you can start enjoying as soon as you walk through the door. Great location. Great on site amenities. We will stay here again and again.

    Our time in Maui was amazing thanks to Kathryn and her beautiful condo. The condo itself was updated and just a really cool layout, our family loved it. The property grounds were beautiful and obviously can’t beat the view. We stayed at a similarly priced condo in Oahu and this was far better and a clear favorite for the family. Kathryn herself was extremely friendly and professional and made sure I had everything I needed leading up to the trip and even stayed up until we checked in. The guidebook her and her husband made was a great resource and very thorough. Check-in was as easy as it gets. The listing had mentioned construction on the property however we only heard it once when we were on the lanai one late morning, no big deal at all. Overall this place can’t be beat. We will absolutely be back!

    Awesome. Everything was awesome. Awesome views of ocean. We saw whales on numerous occasions. Saw sea turtles on numerous occasions. Grills and cooking facilities were great. Beds were extremely comfortable and tv watching was great for watching football after we got our sun for the day. Great location near kanapali beqch. Perfect for our family of four with 2 adult children. Highly recommend. 5 stars

    This apartment was absolutely wonderful. The space itself was sparkling clean, with plenty of clean linens and brand new appliances. We stayed there for more than 10 days, and it was just right for our family of 5. All of the equipment we could possibly need for a beach holiday was already in the flat, down to laundry detergent and sandcastle spades. All of this, combined with the unbeatable view of the ocean right outside the apartment . . . it was perfect. Then, of course, the resort property was so stunning—beautifully kept, friendly staff everywhere, easy-to-use facilities including pools and grills. We wanted to stay for months! Communication with Kathryn could not have been better. There was a little problem with a running toilet, and it was taken care of—no exaggeration—within two hours of our reporting it, even though she wasn’t on the island at the time! We were just in awe. We will be staying here again!

    The view from this property is simply amazing. Seeing nothing but the beautiful Pacific Ocean, and the Islands of Molokai and Lanai from nearly everywhere in the Condo is awesome! The Condo was recently renovated and is very nice with very comfortable beds. The listing and description of the Condo is very accurate. The property itself is extremely well maintained and beautiful. The location is within walking distance of several fantastic places to eat or shop. The two pools and two hot tubs are very nice and well maintained. There is easy access to the ocean, and we did some snorkeling right in front of the property. We saw turtles cruising back and forth in front of the property several times, sometimes stopping to munch for awhile. The putt putt course and shuffleboard were fun for my family. Having a washer and dryer in the unit is very nice if you are staying more than just a few days.

    This place was everything we needed and wanted. The resort is in a great location with an easy walk to bars, restaurants, grocery and other shops. The property is so well kept; clean, manicured, great check-in. The pool and hot tubs were not crowded. There were a few classes we would have enjoyed, but ran out of time. The condo itself was spacious for four adults. The lanai overlooks the ocean, and we spent much time whale watching. We also saw turtles and a seal. I sleep hot and the air conditioner worked well when we turned it on at night. The kitchen is well stocked; we even bbq'd at the common grill. This place checked all the boxes- plus!

    We had the best Christmas vacation in the condo. The view is everything. Never once did we feel guilty for sitting in the condo because the view was heaven. The daily rainbows and whales breaching were such a delight. Every night we fell asleep to the sound of the waves. The condo itself was awesome. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, washer and dryer was handy, plenty of towels, furniture was well appointed and comfy. Being a family of 5 we managed one bathroom just fine. Just note the loft is open so any early risers would potentially disrupt loft sleepers. The resort grounds are well maintained. You have two pools to choose from and they both are in short distance to the condo. Parking was never an issue. They offered free classes everyday to partake in. BBQ grills are well maintained. You can walk to the food trucks and a lovely cinnamon roll place nearby. Plus many more food choices and the handy ABC store for little convenience items (and good food!!). Airport beach is a 3 minute drive away for some beautiful snorkeling. You can walk but it took 25 minutes. And most importantly Kathryn the host was amazing at communicating and super thorough. Hopefully we make it back!

    When it says oceanfront in the accommodation description, it's an understatement! All you see is ocean from the balcony- like nothing I've ever experienced before. Truly amazing. Property and penthouse were extremely clean and modern (including AC throughout the home, which was nice for sleeping. ) You can't go wrong staying here. Just book it if you're thinking about it. :) Kathryn was super responsive throughout the stay and beforehand as well- she's a fantastic host. Lastly, FYI- there's a $15 a day fee to park/use the pools/etc. that gets collected when you check out. I might have missed that in the listing, but it was a minor surprise to me.
