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). Perfect for couples or a family (not recommended for children under 7). The building has an elevator.
You will also enjoy some wonderful renovations just 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!

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.
The location is outstanding! You are within steps of the Kaanapali boardwalk/trail, with breathtaking views, taking you to Black Rock, Whaler’s Village shopping center, and beyond. The trail is great for walking or jogging. Restaurants, food trucks, a grocery store, a farmer's market, 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 (my hometown) 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. The town of Lahaina (and surrounding "burn zone") is strictly off limits, and the usual restaurants, grocery stores, gift stores, art galleries, boat tours, and historic sites that visitors frequented in Lahaina town are no longer available. Some tour boats are now operating from Kaanapali beach. There are many things to do on the other parts of the island: Haleakala crater, the road to Hana, Upcountry, Paia, and South Maui beaches, just to name a few.
The downstairs primary bedroom has a queen bed and the open loft bedroom has a queen bed and two twin beds, making it great for families. Children require close supervision around the balcony, steep stairs, and loft, and the condo may not be suitable for all children, i.e., for children under 7.
This condo is set up like a friend's beach home, fully equipped for a wonderful experience,...

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.

The condo was very functional and we could easily accommodate our 2 teens and my mother. All the required amenities were there and the views of the ocean and sunset can't be beaten! This was right on the beach and the resort was nice. AC was super helpful as was the fully equipped kitchen

Amazing ocean front property with amazing views! Coffee on the lanai in the morning was so relaxing as we watched and listened to the waves. The sunsets were like a postcard photo! The inside was a tiny bit dated (primarily the kitchen) but the property owner is working on it and it’s not bad at all! The property was extremely clean! You had everything you could need in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable. There’s AC! The resort was awesome! The property owner (Kathryn) was such a joy to work with!!! She provided us with so much information and a fantastic stay! You WILL NOT regret your stay here!

Oceanfront views to die for. I don’t think you can rent anywhere that is closer to the water than this. We watched whales every day and lots of rainbows. Sunsets were spectacular. We had a little issue with the ceiling fan (as there is no a/c) and the owner was very responsive and helpful. We hope to stay again next year!
