True Oceanfront property

Loved the view and amazing sunsets. It was fun watching the many turtles passing by from the lanai. Unit was very comfortable and we used the available beach chairs on our trips to the beautiful beaches nearby. We walked to some restaurants and others were not far by car.

Happy in Paradise

Two weeks at this lovely property. The owner was responsive and assisted us with requests. The condo unit itself was clean and well located overlooking the ocean. Our only suggestion for improvement would be in designating one of the two swimming pools on the property as adult only and “quiet “ so that guests who wish to relax and read could enjoy the space. We often found the pools to be noisy with young children and filled with children’s toys and games. One quiet pool would provide an opportunity for everyone to enjoy the pool experience they are looking for.

Loved our stay here especially sitting out on the Lanai with my coffee and listening and watching the waves. Enjoyed that it was within walking distance of some restaurants, food trucks and a few shops. Just wish we had more time to explore the area.

Paradise

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in West Maui. This condo is perfection - the view is to die for, the amenities are wonderful, and the location is fabulous (within walking distance to groceries, food truck park, great restaurants and the most heavenly cinnamon rolls!). We spent a lot of time staring at the ocean from the lanai - watching endless turtles swim by, and we also saw lots of dolphins and even a manta ray! Thank you for sharing this piece of paradise with us.

Stellar

Our experience at Papakea Resort was magical, the property and condo were exquisite, the employees treated us with kindness and joy making check in very nice. Our one bedroom ocean front condo was just perfect.Honestly, we could not have had a better experience. Everything in our condo was clean, fresh and updated. The furniture, dinnerware, flatware, pots/pans, containers, glasses;everything was high end. The bed was so comfortable and the condo was decorated beautifully. The AC did a wonderful job and we were provided a floor fan that wasn’t even needed. It’s like the owners have anticipated every single need, want and wish anyone might have! We were provided the best soap, shampoo, condi, hairdryer, laundry and dishwasher tabs, paper towels, toilet paper, and so much more! The linens, towels, beach towels were fresh, clean and new. There were beach chairs , beach umbrella, a cooler, boogie board, golf putter and golf balls, there was suntan lotion and spf. There were two pair of binoculars and a laminated guide of all the fish you might see if snorkeling or diving. The ice maker made plenty of ice. They provide a Keurig and 12 cup coffee pot, toaster, blender, juicer, built in microwave, everything anyone could want and more.The balcony was my favorite spot where I watched sea turtles swim by all day! Papakea Resort has wonderful tables, chairs and lounge chairs set right in front of the beach. Perfect for tanning, watching the sunset every day. The beach is rig

Great Getaway

Clean and amazing place. Walk out straight to the oceanfront. You can watch the sunrise and sunset right from the porch. There are two pools and an ocean walk about 30 seconds away. If you are looking to stay in just the resort it is very convenient but if you have a car free parking as well. 5 star stay.

AMAZING property!

Absolutely perfect. Very clean, nicely appointed, well-equipped. And the view — breathtaking! We spent most of our time on the lanai. The staff at Papakea Resort are very nice and helpful, the grounds are meticulously maintained, the pools are clean and refreshing, and there is a small beach at the north end with decent snorkeling. And as an added bonus, it’s a short walk to a supermarket, fish market, and beach boardwalk along the northern Kaanapali resorts. We will absolutely try to book this property again on future trips to Maui.

About the host

Hosted by Bev and Mike Herrington

We have owned a family summer resort in the Northern California Sierras since 1967. During the winter months, we have enjoyed our time in Maui. In 2009 we discovered Papakea and loved the oceanfront location and the tropical grounds. In 2019 we were fortunate to find a wonderful oceanfront condo. We hope that you will enjoy our home-away-from home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Maui provides for outdoor activities such as golf and snorkeling right off of the shore only minutes from the condo. We chose this property because it is on the water, there are great local restaurants within minutes walk, and you can walk across the road to a fantastic shopping market to get dinner or BBQ by the pool watching the sunset.

What makes this property unique

Papakea Resort offers 2 very large swimming pools and hot tubs as well as 12 gas barbecues. There are 2 putting greens and lighted tennis and pickle ball courts that are complimentary. Tennis racquets and putters can be checked out at the front desk.. There is complimentary WiFi in the condo. The koi ponds are beautiful as well as the lush tropical foliage.
