Rental Details
Property Overview
Welcome to Papakea, a NO FEE resort on the West Side of Maui. All Papakea Resort amenities such as parking, WIFI, cable TV, pools, hot tubs, putting greens, tennis & pickle ball courts, and 24-hr security are now FREE.
So, you've found the PERFECT place for memorable vacations, honeymoons, anniversaries, and family reunions, all with NO EXTRA FEES . Our premium oceanfront condo (#L-407) offers a million-dollar view in a private and romantic setting and a front row seat to all the action during whale-watching season.
The Papakea Oceanfront Resort, a hidden Hawaiian gem, is a tropical oasis situated on 13 sprawling acres of lush & beautifully manicured grounds in upscale West Maui with stunning views of Lanai and Molokai Islands. The Papakea is in the quiet neighborhood of Honokawai. It's conveniently located between the Kaanapali and Kapalua world-class golf resorts and is only minutes from Lahaina's shopping, restaurants, and nightlife.
Our condo, in the 'L' building, is only 50 steps from the water's edge, so close you can hear the surf inside! Directly in front of our building is direct access to world-famous Kaanapali Beach. To the south you can stroll miles along the white, sandy beach toward Black Rock, stopping along the way for a swim or some awesome snorkeling.
Our lanai faces the ocean directly and provides unobstructed 180 degree views of gorgeous morning sunrises, enchanting daytime rainbows over the ocean, spectacular nightly sunsets, and incredible shows during whale watching season. (For a Virtual Tour of this unit, visit our website link below.)
Our comfortable home-away-from-home includes remodeled kitchen & bath, upgraded tile flooring, designer paint colors, island-style furnishings and flat-screen TV's. Sleeps four to five with a king-size bed in the master, a queen-size bed in the spacious and private loft, a queen-size sofa sleeper in the living room, and one bathroom. We're on the top/4th floor and have soaring 18' cathedral ceilings lending an open and airy feeling.
**In January 2023, we're installing a 3-zone central AC system to keep you cool & comfortable when the trade winds aren't cooperating. When the trades are blowing, we prefer leaving windows and lanai door open to catch a fantastic breeze in the condo. Five-speed ceiling fans are also in all rooms.

Beautiful property, location exceptional. Loved facing the ocean and hearing the surf. Well equipped kitchen and in unit laundry a plus.
With all the kitchen equipment it was very functional. Liked the owner had posted many helpful messages to help use the facilities. Especially liked it had a kettle for tea. Could use a temp probe for meat. The loft was ideal for our daughter & friend. Great view of the ocean and saw whales breaching. Would definitely stay here again.
Unforgettable stay at Papakea in Lahaina, Maui!We had an absolutely incredible stay at this Vrbo condo at Papakea! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the spectacular oceanfront view—watching the sunset from our lanai was breathtaking, and the whale watching was simply unforgettable.The location couldn’t be better—just steps from the beach and within minutes of some of the best snorkeling spots in Maui, including Black Rock and the stunning northern bays of Napili and Kapalua. The property itself was immaculately maintained, and the condo was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay.We also loved how conveniently located Papakea is—just a short walk to a grocery store, great restaurants, and shopping at Whalers Village. Speaking of food, we highly recommend Miss Arepa (our favorite!) and L&L Barbecue for delicious, local flavors.If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and perfectly located condo with unbeatable ocean views, this is it! We can’t wait to return!
Everything was ok except for the bathroom shower. The drain was very, very, slow. The drain needs some major work. There was only one bathroom in this unit.
We loved everything about this property. The location and views of whales from the porch EVERY DAY was surreal. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the porch every morning and wish we never had to leave. All the cooking supplies and beach supplies were great. We really enjoyed the free mai tais by the pool on Thursday evening as well. The little strip across the street from the property had the grocery store with everything we needed. And the restaurants there were great as well. The pizza we got from Pizza Paradiso was delicious and the food truck court right there was just an added bonus.
Thank you! Great property and excellent communication with the host! I look forward to staying there again!
We enjoyed our stay! The keyless entry system is wonderful - our teenage daughters could come and go as they pleased without having to worry about a key. Everything as described. Little notes by the outlets/ceiling fan switches/inside kitchen cabinets were very helpful. Resort is great! 2 pools, tons of gas grills (we used them often!), can walk right next door if you want a sand beach. Stort drive to Front Street. Owners left many suggestions (dining, shopping, etc) and we used almost every one and all were great. We use VRBO alot, and this was one of our best stays!
The rental is in a very nice complex and the views are phenomenal. It is close to a lot of convenient stores and beaches too! We will definitely be staying there again!
We had the time of our life! Condo was perfect and view was spectacular. Would recommend this property to anyone wanting the perfect trip.
Property was beautiful, amazing views. Great amenities close by. Definitely want to visit Maui again.
