Spectacular OCEANFRONT! 2BR/2BA Papakea L305. May 19-28 297/nt June 18-25 396/nt

Everything was great

The beach front property was in great shape great view. The pool was phenomenal..My only concern was could not use one of the TVs because everything is old school type set upI would definitely recommend this to anybody I knew and will recommend to people we know

Right from the start, our host Rachelle was incredibly informative and helpful, providing information that proved invaluable for our stay. The complex is absolutely stunning and just minutes from some of the island’s most beautiful beaches.We could literally watch turtles swimming in the sea right from the window, and the sound of the ocean lulled us to sleep every night. The kitchen was very well-equipped with everything we needed, and we loved that there were outdoor BBQs available (spotlessly clean, just like the rest of the property).The beds were extremely comfortable, the apartment was spotless, and honestly we felt completely at home. We genuinely can’t think of a single thing we would change.Thank you, Rachelle, for a truly memorable stay!

We were very comfortable and the property was everything we were hoping for.

The condo provided everything we wanted and needed. The view was spectacular, and the lanai furniture was perfect for viewing sitting and relaxing. Rachel was a very prompt and accommodating host throughout the entire rental process. We had stayed at Papakea on one other occasion, and we really like the location and pools and grounds very much. We would certainly stay with Rachel again!Gene & Sue Krismanits

What a beautiful property! The ocean front views and th

Loved being right on the ocean. Also love that the Papakea resort is so close to everything. Furniture in the condo is a bit dated, we didn’t do any cooking but the kitchen is well equipped. Ocean front bed was very comfortable. All in all a wonderful 9 days in beautiful Maui.

We’ve been to this property many times (both with and without young children) and love it here. The view from this particular unit is amazing from sun up to sun down (and even great for star gazing!). We enjoyed most meals on the lanai turtle watching, listening to the waves, and all around relaxing. Host was incredibly kind and wonderful with her communication. It was hot during our stay and the A/C worked great - appreciated having the split units and the option to open the windows and allow the trade winds to come through. We were very comfortable! Truly a little slice of paradise!

Amazing stay! The condo was clean, spacious, and right on the ocean. We loved waking up to the sound of the waves and having coffee with stunning views from the porch. Fully stocked with everything we needed and in a great location close to Lahaina, restaurants, and snorkeling. The property is beautiful, the pools and grounds are well kept, and having no resort fees was a huge plus. Internet is fast too. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful vacation and loved the location of Papakea. There's a great surf shop for rentals, a grocery store, and a coffee and pastry cafe, all within a 5-minute walk. The beach is just to the left, we walked it nightly and stopped off at different resorts to eat. The place has a beautiful view of the ocean and space for the family. This place is definitely a top pick for a unit if you want to have a direct view of the ocean. Our family was planning on breaking our stay up between the north, south, and East areas. We stayed down south for a couple of nights, but ended up extending our time here because everyone preferred it to other locations.

It was just what we were looking for.

Amazing spot! Highly recommend staying here. The condo could definitely use a refresh of upholstery, & new lamps (they’re literally falling apart). Aside from that it’s a beautiful spot and I hope to stay again!!

We had a lovely week at L305 at Papakea. The whale watching was spectacular. The property was lovely.

The Papakea never lets us down. Grounds and pools are wonderful! Great place for families with nice beach just steps away. Our oceanfront unit was very nice and the closet well stocked with beach toys and chairs etc. a little maintenance on the slatted glass louver windows to make them open and close fully would be helpful! Otherwise a very nicely remodeled unit overall and the lanai oceanfront is amazing! We had a great time and would definitely come back!!

Our stay at Papakea L305 was perfect for us. The condo is located right on the ocean where we enjoyed our morning coffee while watching the whales. It had all the amenities we needed to cook and grill. It has two true bedrooms instead of one bedroom and a loft like others that we have stayed in at Papakea. Thanks for the allowing us to use your home away from home for a few days.

So glad we stayed here! This is a great unit in a great complex offered by a great host. The condo is located on the west side of Maui right next to Kaanapali beach. As in the description, the kitchen and bathroom have been nicely updated. We are a family of four and the condo provided plenty of space for us all. Communication with the host was great in answering all our questions and accommodating us by converting the twin beds into a king. We so enjoyed listening to the ocean and watching the whales in the morning with our coffee. This place will be recommended to any of our family and friends going to Hawaii.

From the beautiful lanai you can look out in the distance and see whales spouting, and from time to time leaping out of the water. (next time I'll make sure I bring my binoculars for even better viewing).Loved the closeness to other resort areas to the south by using the boardwalk starting at the Papakea property. Yes, a bit of a dodge around two properties that don't connect, but once we learned the route it was easy-peasy. Could walk to Duke's restaurant at Honu Kai in just 12 minutes, and then continue on all the way to near Black Rock Point for a nice 5 mile round trip walk.Plenty of close by places to eat, Times Market just a 5 minute walk, plus other shops. An ABC market is even closer through a back-gate on the property which is great.Papi's cinnamon rolls is a real gem.... but you better be in line 20 minutes before they open at 7am, or you may have a long hour wait to enjoy them. Will be looking forward to our next visit even more now that we've scoped out the area and how to get around.Mahalo nui loa

This is the perfect place to stay! The view from the unit is incredible, waking up to whales swimming in the distance and the sounds of the ocean was so amazing. Close to everything you need and want to do in the area, I will definitely be staying here again. The host is very responsive and kind. This could not have been a better stay!

This place is in a perfect location. The TVs need some updating but overall the place was great! We definitely would come back and stay again. The owner is very responsive to any questions while staying there.

Overall, a great location. The pictures represent the space well. It was quiet and clean. Close enough to walk to breakfast or coffee in the morning. No real beachfront, but that was made clear in the property description. The TVs were definitely on the small side and we never got them to work, but we were too busy exploring the area to really care. I highly recommend, it was a great location for my husband and my two elementary school age children and I.

Relaxing property. Convenient location. Killer view. Great to support the Maui Ohana.

Great location and views, and host was easy to work with.

By far our best experience at Papakea! This property, specifically this unit was absolutely perfect. Property was clean and just as advertised. The views were perfect and we could not have asked for a better place to stay!

We loved sitting on the lanai and watching the whales. We usually stay at a more secluded area of the island so we really enjoyed being able to walk to some cafes and coffee shops. The food truck park was a big hit for our group too. One note - my personal experience is that rentals on VRBO often don't come with as many amenities. This one had a large number of bathrooom towels which was an unexpected bonus - but you'll need paper towels and trash bags, dishwasher detergent, etc. (There will be enough for your first day or two)This isn't uncommon in other Maui rentals - but it's nice to know ahead of time. Plus, don't expect any type of shampoo/bodywash.

We loved our stay in Maui and would definitely stay in this condo again! It was amazing! The view was incredible, the two bedrooms were great, and it was stocked with everything we needed for a great week!

If you’re going to spend your hard earned money, it’s only fair that you get an honest review. We had seen 100+ reviews here and they were all amazing reviews, so we thought we were booking a great stay. Please continue to read for a real and honest review. 1- Cockroaches. There were different bugs just about every night. This alone is a deal breaker and should be noted in the reviews. We made sure we took videos of the bugs so we had proof. 2- We have small children and the first night our key code didn’t work so we had to book another hotel. We had messaged the host and she eventually responded but we had booked a hotel prior to the response for the night. After her telling me I was wrong about the code, we showed up the next day and the door code STILL didn’t work. The host had us call a number for one of the other managers to get his door code, which worked immediately. Host didn’t want to own up about the code not working. 3- There was NO beach!! If you have kids or family that likes the beach, this will be a terrible location. There’s literally a sea wall that the waves slam into 24/7. The beach across the waterway (in front of other hotel) was about a 10’ beach. The pictures are deceiving (host has a picture of a couple getting married on the beach). You can either go to the pool or sit on the patio at this hotel. With kids in our family, the beach is a necessity for fun and this host made it seem like there is actually a beach here. Overall a terrible stay.

This condo was everything I hoped it would be. The views amazing looking out over the ocean, every night we enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets from the lanai and during the day the whales were happily playing! And the sounds of the ocean were the only music we needed! We appreciated the beach chairs, beach towels and other beach toys. Papakea Resort is walking distance to shopping, the beach walk, beaches and plenty of restaurants. A quick drive to Whaler’s for more shopping and good restaurants. The grounds are well maintained, and there are barbecues available. We look forward to our next trip to Maui and stay in this wonderful condo.
