SPECIAL! Whale Watching From Your Oceanfront Private Lanai! No Resort Fees!

Host was very friendly and informative. Condo was everything she described. It was a wonderful home away from home. She had thought of everything we could ever need We saw so many whales sitting on the lanai and we even say a sea turtle. The grounds we beautiful! We hope to return someday

Our 5 night stay at Papakia in was exceptional. I have stayed at this resort a number of times and this was by far the best experience for a number of reasons. Location- what’s not to love about a ground floor ocean facing condo steps away from the water. Convenience- the condo is was also the closest proximity, ( 30 sec walk) in reality you can get to the pool , BBQ and hot tub area, and no- noise was not a problem at all. The condo was modern and well equipped with all you would expect. What I also like about this building and the location of the unit is that it’s a straight shot to the reception and parking area, makes a big difference when your carting groceries and luggage etc.. BTW Papakia does have plenty of trollies available to assist.Our host was a superb communicator, it was very helpful when I had questions etc.Oh, and being on the bottom floor was not a hindrance in any way from a noise standpoint- the complex in general is peaceful and quiet but I might also mention there was really zero noise from any of the above floors. I would highly recommend the Papakia report and particularly this unit, spend the extra money for this unit, you will not be sorry.

The lanai is about 100ft to the ocean. The resort has a sea wall that is about 10’ high. The ability to walk out of the living room directly to that view was fantastic. We stayed 10 days in January 2026. The condo was well stocked with kitchen essentials and the consumable supplies did not run out. There were beach towels (4 for 2 people), beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel equipment, binoculars, and putters(& balls) for the onsite greens. We only used the binocs and putters, but all the other things were available. There was a standard hotel room safe in the bedroom closet. We cooked on the resort grills several times. They were all 4 burner Webers and all in great condition with clean grates each time I used them.We saw many whales from the lanai & grassy area. They were several miles out, but you can see the & it’s a fun/unique experience. Great place, very relaxing.

The home was nicely updated and the location was perfect.

Beautiful view :)

The place was perfect, just as advertised, host was very responsive!

Had a wonderful view from the condo. Great location with quick, easy travel to so many beaches, shopping, restaurants. Felt very safe and the resort is clean and well kept up. Bev was fantastic to work with. She addressed any questions or concerns promptly! There’s so many things we ran out of time to do and see!

Incredible location for our anniversary trip. Close enough to anything you could need but also still peaceful and quiet. We discovered the shortcut to the ABC market on the first day and it was a game changer. Also loved the food truck park and the cinnamon bun place. Excellent food all around! The view was amazing to wake up to everyday. Easy walk to the beach. No noise from the pool. Only cons were the long walk from the parking lot/cars which could complicate things if you are coming with a big family and lots of stuff, and on our last 2 days there was construction happening in the condo above ours. Otherwise, this was the perfect stay! Will definitely be back!

We loved our stay! What a treat it was to open the shades each morning to an unobstructed view of the ocean. It truly is breathtaking. We also saw multiple whale breaches while sitting on the patio drinking our coffee. The Papakea property is lovely and has everything you need: a pool, hot tub and outdoor grill access. We will absolutely be back! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We really had a great time and loved the condo. The view was amazing. It was so nice to have our coffee ocean front every morning. My husband said the snorkeling right out back was so good, he don’t need to book a snorkeling tour! The property is beautiful and well maintained. There are many things to do and places to go, all within walking distance. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub too.

We really enjoyed the stay…the Condo was clean, the kitchen had well stocked supplies for preparing meals. Would recommend this condo and definitely coming back. Thanks

We had a great time! The place was clean and convenient and the whale watching was amazing!

We enjoyed Papakea F109 very much, can’t beat the location with the sound of the crashing waves. The condo and is well equipped.

We fell in love with the location. Right in the sea wall and spent most of our afternoons laying out. We were able to spot turtles and whales from the patio (even walked out and snorkeled with the turtles right there with host provided snorkel gear!). It’s not a crowded facility, mostly retirees and a few families. We made great use of the kitchen as well as the resort provided grills. Would definitely consider rebooking if/when back on Maui.

My husband and I spent the first 2 weeks in November in this condo and loved every minute. My favorite memory is waking up to a new rainbow every morning! We hope to return often to this special place! everydWramorningmorning

great location - verry clean condo - no problems

Beautiful oceanfront condo! We had a great time. The grounds, pools, ocean, sunsets were perfect. Walking distance to restaurants, Whalers Village to shop was an easy walk for us, so much to see along the way.

This condo is located on the ocean front, convenient to both swimming pool areas, and on the ground floor so you can walk directly out to the seawall. Condo was well equipped and vacation comfortable. We had to reset the Wi-fi router a few times and we had trouble with the TV, but we didn’t make any attempt to seek help with the television, so it is not a negative reflection on the condo. The rebuild in nearby Lahaina is both heartbreaking and inspiring. West Maui is vibrant and there are plenty of dining, shopping, and opportunities for guided excursions in the area. We highly recommend this condo and will stay here again on our next trip to Maui.

This place has a spectacular view, especially of the sunset. The owner was communicative and helpful. There were snorkeks, beach chairs, and anything else you might need while on the island. system.

Papakea is an amazing property, is our third time staying there and have never left disappointed. Our washing machine did not work in our unit and repair men couldn’t get to it while we were there, but a little hand washing and it didn’t really affect anything. The unit was great, the amenities were on point. We absolutely love Papakea and will definitely return again.

This was our 2nd time staying in this home, and it was perfect yet again. The view is absolutely amazing, STUNNING! You can’t beat it. The location is great, the amenities are great, the staff are wonderful. I highly recommend!
