In the beautifully furnished living room you’ll find a large internet connected TV with unlimited access to a free NETFLIX movie account in addition to HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Epix, Starz, and Disney family movies. We’ve also provided a compact washer/dryer in the unit so pack light! Ready to curl up in bed after a long day of adventures on the island?

On your lanai, our bar height lanai set ensures an unobstructed view. You can enjoy the sights and sounds of the blue Pacific Ocean from kitchen, living room and lanai. Open the lanai sliding glass when you go to bed and let the ocean waves lull you to sleep.

I take personal pride in keeping my home clean and well maintained. As it is also my home away from home, I update and replace things regularly. I believe in supporting local businesses and local people. All upgrades to my home are purchased at local non-chain businesses whenever possible. My cleaning and maintenance team are local independent owner operated businesses and I have met with the owners personally.

F-308 is one of 2 similarly appointed homes. Check out my other: E-205 (VRBO listing)

This ocean view home is located on 13 acres of green, lush, manicured grounds with a thoroughly Hawaiian atmosphere. The only resort with two ocean front pools, two spas and two 12 hole putting greens. There are lighted tennis courts and two ocean side shuffle board courts. Relax in two beach cabanas, visit the koi ponds and BBQ on any one of the 12 gas BBQ grills. Yoga classes and weekly Mai Tai parties too!

Papakea is conveniently located between the Kaanapali and Kapalua world class golf resorts, just minutes away from shops, restaurants and galleries in nearby Lahaina and Whaler’s Village. You are just a short walk to famous Kaanapali Beach and the boardwalk which stretches all the way south to Black Rock and beyond. You are steps from a terrific snorkeling reef, where you can swim with the gorgeous fish and sea turtles. You are within walking distance of casual dining, a coffee shop, farmer’s market, grocery and convenience stores.

F-308 is one of two similarly appointed homes at Papakea. Check out the other E-205 listing. Be sure to check out the reviews... My mission is to put our guest and the center of everything I do.

The fine print (LOL):

Papakea Resort charges a facility use fee of $25 per day. This fee is collected by the front desk and covers such resort amenities as parking, pools and spas, tennis courts, putting greens and shuffleboard and resort wide free internet. We pay that when we stay as well:)

Full contact information is required for all adults 18 and over staying in our home within 48 hours of booking. Name, physical address, cell # and email address.

I do not have a rental 'contract' nor require a security deposit. I ask only one thing: Please treat my home with love. It’s not a hotel. It is my home away from home. Pretend I are staying in your home as guests while you are staying in our home. The feeling you get when you walk back into your home after we leave is the same feeling I want when I walk into my home after you have left:)

Papakea Resort is going through an interior pipe renovation program, building by building. Please contact host for more information and timeline.

Will definitely book again the next time we are fortunate enough to visit Maui. Good communication from the Sondra from the moment we booked until we arrived. Unit had amazing views, was very clean and had many features to make us feel at home. Location was great and within walking distance of stores and several restaurant options.

We booked this trip in January and almost cancelled due to wanting to be respectful of the residents of Lahaina. I’m so thankful we kept our reservation and got to experience this amazing place!!! The people here are so caring and friendly. The property is beautiful and we loved that it was right on the water. We even got to see a sea turtle swimming right from our balcony. The rainbows were big and so beautiful!!! This condo had everything we needed. We only cooked dinner once, but Sondra had everything we needed including a large spice selection. The place is very clean, the bed is comfortable and we absolutely loved waking up to the sounds of the ocean!!! Her communication is quick and personable. We just can’t say enough good things. Coming home was difficult. We will definitely be back and are already planning another trip for 2025 with our kids.

Sondra’s place is beautiful, tasteful island decor, comfy bed and a fully stocked kitchen. We had everything we needed for the beach and my granddaughter went snorkeling right in front of our apartment. Sondra quickly responded to any questions I had, while there. I am grateful to have visited Lahaina in the days before the devastating tragedy there, and I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a special spot.

The condo itself is perfect. Clean, new, comfortable furniture and bed, with the most stunning perma-view of Molokai. I can only imagine the whales you must see from the beachfront lanai. (WHEN we return here it will be in the winter to catch that!) The property itself, Papakea, is our favorite in the area. Acres of green, well landscaped grounds, pools, putting greens and more. But even cooler is that you can walk across street to restaurants, supermarket, farmers market with hot food buffet, food trucks, boutiques. And it's super relaxed and inviting, compared to the high rise properties nearby that just seem cluttered and over-populated.

Pictures and description of condo are spot on! On the ocean to watch whales, monk seals, kayakers, boats, surfers and sunsets. Updated, Clean, Attractive decor throughout. All the amenities you will need and more,. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping, Kaanapali beach & boardwalk. Able to snorkel right in front of resort sea wall.

We enjoyed staying in F308. The view of the ocean from our balcony was amazing. It was a home away from home, very clean, updated kitchen with all the tools needed for cooking just like home. The owners were a pleasure to work with. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a fantastic week at Sondra and Craig's condo in Honokawai. The view from the lanai is directly on the water looking out over the channel to Molokai. Sunsets were beautiful! Sitting and watching the changing skies and amazing clouds while we had our coffee or ate dinner really enhanced the experience. The unit itself is very compact but well designed. The bedroom is in the back near the entrance and bathroom, allowing the ocean side of the unit to take full advantage of that great view. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped and organized, making cooking meals simple and fun. They had knives that actually cut!! We had plenty of room to spread out for 2 people. The beach chairs and thick beach towels were a nice addition. The dryer does take a little getting used to as things aren't completely dry when you take them out. The property itself was perfect for us. Efficient check-in and friendly front desk staff, easy parking, beautiful lush well maintained grounds and 2 fantastic pools and hot tubs. Each had a pool hut with very clean bathrooms and lots of seating and tables. Very family friendly but also fun for older couples. Just across the street from the property is a little shopping center with a great market (Time's Market) that had everything we needed to put together a great meal. There is also a snorkel Bob's in case you want to get gear for snorkeling and places to eat. This location is also a short drive to nice beaches and Lahaina. We had a great time! We'll be back! Thanks Sondra and Craig!

Sondra was wonderful to work with prior to arriving. Since everything was perfect during our stay there was no need for communication. Everything in this condo is Top Quality even down to the beach towels. The kitchen has more gadgets then I have at home. You will not want for anything. The view is amazing and the high top chairs on the lanai allows you to look out without looking through bars. It was a wonderful home away from home.for 5 weeks to celebrate our 56th anniversary. Thank you, Sondra, for sharing your home with us. Hope to see you again.

The property was fabulous! Well maintained, clean, lots of amenities. Sondra's place was well stocked, clean and spacious for our needs. The view was incredible and we were a short drive from fabulous beaches, shopping and restaurants. We especially enjoyed the fish market across from the resort. Staff was great and we would definitely come back and stay again.

We staying in F308 for 8 nights. We had an amazing experience. Condo was clean, everything was nice and high end from the sound system to the high table outside. The bed was very comfy with nice sheets. It was a great location, ocean front but not too loud in the bedroom when you’re going to bed. There is many stores and restaurants within walking distance. We were able to meet the owner and he was very nice and friendly. He was also available by text or call if we needed anything. I would highly recommend this unit!

We enjoyed our stay so much! Centrally located to the activities we were interested in. This condo was very comfortable, spacious, plenty of room and lots of seating in the living area. Loved the spacious counter space in the kitchen and bathroom. The bedding was awesome. Watching whales and turtles swim by, hearing the waves crashing . . . it was the perfect vacation getaway, so relaxing! Craig and Sondra were very responsive and welcomed any questions about the condo or the surrounding area. I would highly recommend this condo. Already wanting to return!

Wow, I mean really, I was wowed by everything here. The condo has everything you could possibly need including Binoculars so we could watch the whales and dolphins from our lanai. Towels were thick and soft, bed was extremely comfortable, kitchen was well stocked with NICE stuff, and the AC cooled the rooms quickly. The beach gear was clean and useful, and the location is perfect as so much is in walking distance or within a five minute drive, and the owner is not just thorough in his stocking up of his condo but also his communication from book to check out. We will absolutely stay here every time we visit the island. It truly felt like home away from home.

We stayed for 10 days and brought our 11 month old - everything was perfect!! The pictures don't do it justice! The unit was equipped with everything we could possibly need, and more. Brand new everything and extremely clean and comfortable. Even with a King size bed, the bedroom still had enough space to fit our daughters pack'n'play. We watched sunrises and sunsets, and tons of whales!! Most of the time we didn't even need the binoculars, they were so close!! Can't say enough good things about F-308 and the hosts, Craig and Shondra! These two really care about make your vacation perfect and it shows! We're looking forward to staying here again. As for the area - perfect! We were walking distance to everything we needed: great coffee, shops, restaurants, grocery, etc. We did the Beach Walk to Whalers Village almost daily! About a 45 min walk with a stroller. And if you are traveling with a baby and don't get to spend tons of time at the ocean - you never feel like you miss out when you're staying in F-308. Again, I can't say enough how exceptional this vacation was! Thank you, Craig and Shondra, for all your hard work to maintain such a fantastic condo. Cheers!

From the outset, Craig was attentive, responsive, and communicative with us. This includes anything we needed before, during, and after our stay. We loved listening to the waves at night, waking up to the stunning views, whale and rainbow watching. It was exactly what we needed for our baby moon--and to avoid the big crowds at the mega resorts. Location, location, location. Doesn't get much better. Highly recommended.

Great condo, equipped with all the little things you need and more, for an enjoyable Hawaii vacation. Highly recommend renting from Craig and Sondra - great owners who really care about their unit and about their guests having a great vacation. Stayed February 2019 and saw many many whales right from the lanai. The on-site grills are very nice and both a fish market and grocery mart very close to allow you to have fresh home-made meals. Liked the grassy areas for catching some sun, and the pools and hot tub are a great feature. The grounds are very well maintained. Nice staff. Will be back!!
