We had a wonderful 5 days at papakea resort L202! The views are spectacular. Breathtaking views from the main living room and master bedroom. So we ended up largely just staying at the apartment and the kids just played in the grass below or walked out to the beach or pool while we enjoyed our sunsets on the lanai. The pictures are quite accurate, place is clean, kitchen very well equipped for a family to cook meals as needed. Pool supplies and towels plenty. Elevator access was helpful as we had an elderly parent. Resort itself was a good environment family friendly and peaceful. Times supermarket is just walking distance and a farmers market as well. Eating places close by also walking distance. Breakfast at slappy cakes are a must try! The host was very responsive to my questions and clarifications and lot of helpful tips. It was a magical time, still hung over from waking up to the gorgeous ocean views and sounds! Would love to go right back if we went again.

We had an amazing time. The property was in a perfect location, with great beach access and in walking distance to shops, restaurants, grocery stores, great local spots to eat and even food trucks.
Would definitely stay again.

I can’t say enough about this wonderful condo. The views are beautiful, the furniture is comfortable, and the property has a lot of fun amenities. This condo is so well supplied! Lots of beach gear (umbrella, beach chairs, boogie boards, cooler, towels) and the kitchen is the most well stocked I’ve ever seen in a rental. It was the perfect place to stay while we explored Maui.

5 ladies who have been friends for 50 + years stayed in this lovely condo. The view can’t be beat. We saw hundreds of whales while sitting on the ocean front lanai. Had a wonderful time. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

This was a hard trip for us with the devastating fire and so much loss in Lahaina this year. We both felt like we had a peaceful place to just relax and enjoy Maui! We loved being able to just sit on the lanai of our beautiful rental and enjoy the water and whales! (We didn't miss any sunsets!) We loved the pool and beautiful walkway along the beach. Everything we needed was included in the kitchen and it made cooking easier. Mahalo! We hope to book your place again!

Papakea is cool. The property is well located and has everything you need. This unit was ok, could us a better bed/linnens and new carpet in the master. Being ocean front was nice, though this whole property is ocean front really...

This unit at Papakea was perfect. It has a fabulous ocean view and is well stocked. Our family rented 7 units at Papakea and this unit was voted the best. Our host was helpful and responded quickly to our questions. We had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting again!

This condo helped us have a wonderful vacation for my family of four. The location was unbeatable, the condo was clean and well-stocked, the property owner was friendly and responsive, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. We’d be happy to stay there again some day.

This condo was perfect for our family trip to Maui! It was clean, well stocked and had everything we needed. It even had a good selection of beach toys, chairs, snorkel gear and towels! Bonus that it had a small cooler we could use to go to the beach. The pool and hot tub were perfect for the rainier days when the beach wasn’t suitable for swimming. We would definitely recommend this condo!

Nice condo with lots of supplies and pretty well equipped with anything you need while in Maui. We were entertained daily by the whales performing in the ocean. Such a great view which included evening sunsets. It was a nice feature to have the two bedrooms separated and each couple had a bathroom to themselves. The grounds were nice and we enjoyed the putting greens and pools.

This property was gorgeous and mesmerizing from the moment we came in. The first thing We noticed upon arrival was the ocean waves crashing and the beautiful view. The condo was very comfortable for two couples and a toddler and very well stocked with everything you need. The location was great, close to everything you would want to do on the west side of Maui.
Would highly recommend ☺️

First this is the most organized kitchen I have ever seen in any rental, things were arranged very well and it was very stocked, nothing really additional needed. The view is great from the master and the living room. Would recommend it to anyone!

This condo is exactly as advertised and you can’t beat the location. I would recommend stocking up at Walmart by the airport after you land. Buy essentials like shampoo and paper towels with your groceries to save yourself a trip.
Great unit overall. Highly recommend.

Fabuolous location and well appointed condo. Exactly as photos depict. Comfortable beach themed decorations with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen provided. Lots of additional beach povisions - chairs, cooler, boogie boards etc. Location perfect. Quiet resort, nice atmosphere and not crowded with too many people. Views spectacular - my favorite part - lying in bed listening to the waves. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of paradise. We hope to be back again. Mahalo.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo! The condo itself is furnished with everything you could possibly need, and is in a great location in the complex. The resort is so well taken care of, and has a wonderful beach and pools! You are within walking distance of a grocery store and minutes from Lahaina. Very quick drives to dining and entertainment too. This was our 3yr old grandson’s first big trip, and being in such a homey setting really helped him feel comfortable and relaxed, which in turn let the adults have a great vacation! We all agreed it was the best yet of any condo we’ve stayed at for our Maui visits.

We have been coming to Maui for 20 plus years and this was one of the best rentals we have stayed in. The location was perfect- access to everything from shopping to beaches. And the views!! Totally amazing to literally be 50 yards from the ocean. Such a great treat to have cocktails on the lanai and watch the sunsets, then fall asleep listening to the waves. The condo was perfect for our family of 4. Comfy beds and a fully stocked kitchen. Thank you for sharing your Maui home, we will be back!

We loved our stay. Only problem is the washer was broken. We had to leave a lot of laundry as a result of the washer being broken and she was very nice when I told her. We want to rent this house again. Location was excellent! House was clean and well stocked with everything.

This condo was absolutely beautiful. You can’t get any closer to the ocean! We watched the sunset every night from the balcony. The condo is spacious, clean and very comfortable (except the 2nd bedroom is a bit on the cramped side). The kitchen was well stocked for all your cooking needs. The resort was beautifully landscaped and I wish we’d had more time to enjoy all the amenities. We did swim and even used the bbq grill one night! We would definitely stay here again!!!

The condo was exactly as advertised. We were right on the beach with a spectacular view (particularly at sunset). The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well epuipped, and the living area was great for relaxing. I can't say enough good things about our stay. Thank you.

Our stay at this property the first week of April was amazing. The oceanfront view is as good as it gets in Maui. Can't get much closer than this. The condo was plenty spacious enough for our family of 6 (3 adults, 3 children). The resort accommodations were great for the entire family. We used the pickleball courts, mini putt, the pool, and the grills. The location of the condo was perfect. It was very close to the boardwalk to head south for a walk and very close to the food trucks for a quick lunch or dinner. We enjoyed bringing dinner back to the condo and enjoy the amazing views of the sunset while whale watching. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone.

We enjoyed every minute of being in Maui & staying at this condo. It was perfect for our family of 6. The grounds are gorgeous & everything is so well taken care of. We felt so comfortable in the condo & everything we needed to cook meals was available. The view was absolutely gorgeous … nothing can compare to hearing the waves while you sleep! The owners were fabulous & answered my many questions quickly & efficiently. We hope that we can come back soon!

Perfect location for all there is to do on Maui, especially the snorkeling, golf and other activities in the Kapalua/Kaanapali areas. Nearby restaurants are also excellent and varied. Bring your binoculars if you’re staying during whale season.

This was a great condo with the best view!!! Great space with comfortable beds. Having a cup of coffee and breakfast on the Lanai in the mornings and drinks as the sunset, never gets old. The pool and hot tub and stairs at the seawall is very close, really just a few steps. It was very easy to communicate with the owner Melanie and she was always quick to respond. Definitely would stay here again.

Comfortable place with everything you need for the perfect family vacation. Loved the location and had no problems. The only two things I could say that could use some improvement is the windows in master are very leaky with air and therefore always extremely as the location is amazing so you do hear the rushing waves. Not a horrible problem to have! But, it would have been nice to quiet the outside just a bit for sleep. Also the master mattress is a bit lumpy. Other than that it was just right and I would recommend to anyone for an amazing stay in a perfect location to everything! Thank you for having us!

This is an amazing rental. Nicer than the pictures, well stocked and very comfortable. Beautiful property with a hottub and pool. Caught some sunsets from the lanai and even a passing storm one night over Molokai. Would absolutely come back again. Thanks!

Can't say enough great things about the property, amenities and our stay in Maui. Definitely would consider staying here again. From the pool and hot tub access, to the grills and the breathtaking views right from the lanai. I can still hear the waves and feel the warm ocean breeze!

I can't recommend this unit enough. We actually had to switch properties mid trip because our previous rental was not very toddler friendly. Communication and check-in was a breeze. The unit had everything we needed plus more. Very clean and updated. Views of the ocean from all corners of the place...even the bathroom! We also enjoyed the fact that the property was much more laid back and quiet than others further south.

Aloha! We love Papakea! We’ve stayed here 3 times and have enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! Beautiful property with well kept grounds, friendly/helpful staff, and family friendly resort. This time we rented an Ocean front condo with spectacular views! We love staying in a condo because it comes fully equipped with all the essential needs of a kitchen, washer/dryer, and other beach gear. Our property manager made sure our condo was well stocked, the kitchen and bathrooms are nicely remodeled, and all bedrooms have an AC unit which is imperative. Papakea is close to all major destinations in Lahaina/ West coast area. We will definitely be back to our home away from home! Mahalo and A Hoi Hou!

I opened the door and went straight to the balcony for that VIEW! It is shaded in the morning for sipping coffee and a front row seat for sunset. I was lulled to sleep in the master bedroom by the waves crashing on shore and woke in the morning to that beautiful VIEW. I MISS IT! Low tide presents the opportunity to explore the rocky reef. Lots of urchins. We used the pool, putting green and grills. All clean and well maintained. Seven-day stay with no problems. Made great memories.

August 2021
Exactly as described and expected. Clean, comfortable, well appointed and with a great view. Very nice, mid-range complex. It was nice to have lower density than some of the other hotels/high rises. We did struggle a bit to find the right balance of enjoying the fabulous views from the windows while also limiting heat from having the blinds open, or managing AC in the heat of the summer when you have a mix of people on the patio and indoors. But the view, privacy, and proximity to the water made the minor challenge worth it, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book it again. The property manager was responsive to questions we had.

First the view from the patio…. Beautiful!!! Great location. Owner was always very responsive. We learned to play pickle ball as a family and are now addicted! We stayed in Kihei for two days after our stay here and that place just did not compare to this place. I loved the kitchen space where we would gather all the time for breakfast or snacks. Would stay here again and recommend it to anyone I know!!!!

I was thrilled when I opened the door and seen the view. I had a few ladies that had never been to Hawaii and I wanted them to have a great experience. It was perfect. got to watch the sunset every evening, it was beautiful. The condo was very clean. The master bed was very comfortable. We had 8 ladies and it slept all of us just fine. There are beach items to use in the closet which came in handy. The condo has a ocean lawn with a wall and over to the left is a small beach area. I would definitely stay here again. Great location. The only thing that was a downer was the heat pump unit on the patio blew very warm air. Thank You for sharing you lovely condo with ladies from OREGON.

After this crazy year, this vacation was a welcome relief for our family. Theconco was as advertized. The closeness of the ocean was special and the whales were really active.

We had a much needed getaway and this was a wonderful setting for it. Not a fancy resort with bars and restaurants, and huge pool complexes; the setting was beautiful and peaceful, and just what we needed. About as close to the water as you can get, and the sound of the surf was our music all week.
We had 4 adults, and the rooms worked well for us. The condo was clean, comfortable and well equipped. We ate in as much as possible to minimize potential Covid exposures, and the nearby grocery store and well equipped kitchen and pool-side grills made that easy. While there is no beach at this resort, there is beach that is just down the walking path, and you are a short drive to some really great beaches. There is a nice lawn by the ocean though, and the pools weren’t crowded and had lounge chairs at-the-ready.
The owners were great at working with us in the event that travel was restricted to the island due to Covid, and that gave us all the confidence we needed to book. We felt very safe traveling to Maui, and during our stay - with mask use being enforced on property and around the island. Condo staff were great at keeping common area surfaces clean as well.
We’d come back again, and would recommend it to others without hesitation.

We had a wonderful time staying at this unit in Papakea. The check-in process was a bit laborious because of COVID and we avoided the communal pools. However everything else was near perfect. The location is ideal with close proximity to Lahaina and Kapalua. There are several easily accessible beaches nearby. The parking was plentiful. Our hosts, Melenie on VRBO and Christine on Maui are both incredibly nice and very responsive.
The unit itself is so well set up with everything you might need, enough beds that our son wasn’t on a couch, and the unit has air conditioning in all the rooms, even though we really didn’t need it in the master or living room. Last and perhaps best, is the jaw dropping view as you enter the condo. The ocean is right in front of you and every time I came in to the place, I just felt my spirits rise. The island of Lanai, the rainbows, the stars, and the whales, which were cruising past... it is a paradise, and we feel so lucky to have been able to have this experience. Thanks!

We had a wonderful stay in L-202. Everything was as shown in the photos and we were very pleased. We did not lack for anything in the unit - they have thought of everything. And what is not to love about the location! We had an issue with the toilet on the second day, but the property manager promptly resolved. In these challenging times, we were grateful for this much needed vacation away.

We had a wonderful stay in Maui. The condo was able to accommodate four adults and three children ,11 and under. Plenty of places for everyone to sleep, and a breathtaking view. We saw whales every day and could easily get to shopping and the beach. So thankful this was our last vacation before, the craziness started!

We had a wonderful stay at Melenie's unit, it was so relaxing starring out at the islands and watching a multitude of whales perform their acrobatics.

From the time you pull on the property your mesmerized by all the plam trees and flowers!! Then you open the door to the rental and OMG THE VIEWS!! We are a family of 8 that stayed and had plenty of room. Fully stocked kitchen was a dream to cook in. (But you definitely need grilling utensils!!) Thanks for having a place that felt so comfortable and had such a homey feel to it..We will definitely stay with you again.. The Family From Ohio Says Mahalo!!

This is a great property. Both the resort and the location of the unit are perfect. The unit is spacious and clean with modern appliances, it came well-stocked with everything we needed. Our stay was very enjoyable and we look forward to renting again.

This is our second stay in this beautiful oceanside condo just north of Ka'anapali Bay. Almost the entire condo, except the back bedroom, face the ocean with its gentle pounding surf. It was family friendly for our toddler. We did not even rent a car but walked 5-10 minutes to the grocery stores, fish market and farmers' market. There is playground nearby. And the low rise Papakea condo complex with beautiful grounds has two pools, two hot tubs, putting greens, shuffle board and more. There is access to the Ka'anapali Beach Walk that extends many miles south along the public access beaches. We plan to return to this property.

This was our 3rd family vacation to Papakea. This condo was the best one we have stayed in and would definitely choose this one again. The view is amazing from the lanai. The boogie boards and chairs that are available are a great addition. We would highly recommend this condo! Thank you for sharing!

We were so excited to stay at Papakea again. This time we chose this gorgeous oceanfront condo. No disappointments here! This condo is perfectly positioned near parking, great access to the grounds and pool, to the oceanfront path & beach, and it has a view that is indescribably beautiful. We were mesmerized by the amount of whale activity and loved that we could easily watch them from the lanai. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were also books, games, beach chairs, pool towels and boogie boards in the condo storage closet. We would definitely recommend this unit to anyone. Thank you for sharing it with us, we hope to be back again soon!

My husband, son and in-laws stayed here February 12-19. It was absolutely fantastic. The lanai was perfect. We sat out there many mornings drinking coffee and every evening. We had a perfect view of the ocean. We saw whales from our patio almost every day. The bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen were suitable for our needs. We loved how spacious the place was. We felt like we had enough space and privacy for everyone. The beach was a short walk away. The area in front of the condo was grassy and helped keep the sand out if the condo. The facility was wonderful. There were 2 heated pools, a putting green, a hot tub and even shuffleboard (which my son loved!!). The grocery stores, fish market and a few restaurants were all within walking distance. I highly recommend renting this propery. We had a fabulous time and will definitely return.
Kim D.

Beautiful view, we had so much fun watching the whales. All the little extras in the unit were great. Our group of 5, which included 2 seniors loved this unit. Easy to access, and close to everything you could want, the pool, hot tub, shuffle board. Grocery store was close by, which was nice so we were not eating out all the time. Beautiful unit and property, very well kept.

The view is incredible, the condo is fabulous. We stayed with 4 adults and 2 grandchildren. Definitely a home away from home. It was so nice to have a fully equipped kitchen as we ate in most of the time. The furnishings are clean and very comfortable. You can tell the owners take great care to make you feel at home. Would absolutely stay again! Thanks for making Maui a wonderful memory

When you walk into the condo your eyes are automatically drawn to the amazing ocean view. For the view alone I would give this property 5 stars. But the condo also was spacious, clean, filled with loads of amenities for a family of 6. If I am lucky enough to travel to Maui again I would book this property. It is not right on the sandy beach, but the beach is only a short walk away. You won't regret staying in this unit.
