We love the Papakea and this location was fantastic. We were able to leave the Lanai door open most of the time and take advantage of the trade-winds. This was perfect for our family and we really enjoyed our stay. If you are a coffee fan make sure to take the short walk to Bad Ass Coffee just down the street.

Another 8 perfect days at Papakea . I have stayed in this until at least 8 times and will continue coming back as the until is fully equipped with everything one needs. Bob is always available to answer questions too. The lanai offers amazing views of ocean . I enjoyed walking 3 miles a day to Kahana or Whalers Village. Please try Sergio’s cantina across the street . Food is excellent ! Mahalo Bob

We came across the property while looking to extend our stay in Maui.
It is exactly as described and shown in the photos.
The unit is well equipped with everthing you need to be comfortable and safe.
We were only here for 4 days, but quickly found our way around the property. The location of the resort is convenient and easily accessible for everything on the island.
Communication with Bob was great, and he seems genuinely concerned that our stay was enjoyable.
We highly recommend this unit to anyone interested in a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Our host Bob was amazing! Totally made my family feel welcome and very responsive to questions I had. The room itself was fully furnished and in immaculate condition.
The Papakea resort was the perfect stay for my family. Steps away from the ocean, pristine landscaping, clean pool and spa.
We are definitely staying here again.

The unit is beautifully designed and maintained. Quiet and with beautiful views of the grounds and water. Newer kitchen, appliances, and remodeled bathroom with comfortable furniture and bedding. Kitchen was pretty well stocked with most everything you'll need if you prepare your own meals (dishes, pans, utensils etc. There were no seasonings or condiments)
Air conditioning works great once you figure out the nuances of the remote control and an unidentified wall timer.
Again, a very comfortable and stylish retreat. I think most people would really like this unit and I'd recommend it as well.

My stay was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend staying in this unit . Fully equipped with everything you need including beach chairs and beach towels. I have stayed in this unit multiple times and Bob is always fast to respond to questions and concerns . The location of unit is also a plus with amazing views of ocean and pool. I’m looking forward to another stay here next year . Mahalo Bob

Lovely and clean updated condo with great views from large lanai.

Returning to Papakea after many years, we found it to still be a well cared for resort with beautiful grounds and views.

We are seniors and the Papakea is a wonderful place to take the whole family. It is very family oriented and to put it in our granddaughters words, it’s better than Walt Disney. We loved the whale excursions, Mama’s house, Sea house, Kimo’s, Duke’s and steaks out on the grills at the Papakea. It’s the most beautiful place on earth to us! Have to give credit to the maintenance and upkeep of the grounds too, it is so very beautiful and everyone is so helpful. Roy and Laurie Campau

We really enjoyed our stay! It was my husband, myself and our 2 kids (11 & 13). There was plenty of room for us all. The place was very clean and enjoyable. It had everything we needed for our stay. The grounds and amenities were very nice as well. We were within walking distance to the grocery store, food trucks and the beach. The host was very friendly and responded quickly when we booked. We didn't have to contact them during our stay at all because there were no issues! I would book this place again and totally recommend this place to others!

This was a very refreshing experience of honesty about view, condition location etc. Most importantly the experience with the owner Bob Wakefield was extremely professional and helpful. In my conversations with Bob I felt like a friend, not a stranger leasing his property. I highly recommend. Steve

You can walk to just about anywhere to have fun weather it was on the ocean or on the town. There were amazing local food and entertainment areas in less then 5 miles. There were also local food trucks right around the corner. Over all this was a great place to stay and the grounds were kept immaculate . The staff and Concierge were very helpful and fun. Enjoy All.

✨Property was accurate as described on listing. Kitchen was well equipped with pans, dishes and paper towels and dish soap, etc. There was a washer with detergent and dryer which was large enough to wash a few items. The oven did have pepperoni sauce on glass and a piece of pepperoni on door. Bedroom was great with drawers and closet hangers and a/c and fans and a comfy bed! The bathroom was good except lighting was a little dark by sink /vanity area which we didn’t mind because the living room space is bright and well lite with mirrors all around.
The beach front of hotel was gorgeous and water was so clear blue. Coming from Oahu it was a real treat to have a quite empty beach with only 2 small families nearby but enough privacy for my husband and I. We went to to beach earlier around 9:00am and the beach had a good area of sand that was clean with no debris in water or sand. Go early because the tide covers the sand area up. The hotel grounds were well taken of and relaxing to walk through. We didn’t go to the pool but it was fun for many. The koi fish pond was pretty with a small water features and a little Bridgetown walk over.
Overall I would highly recommend this rental!

We arrived arrived at noon and thought we might be able to check in a bit early. The reception staff was super nice and checked us in and said the room we had a guaranteed 3 pm check in. We drove to whalers and came back at 3pm, unloaded everything and made our through the large compound to our floor where our room was located. A cleaning lady was working on the room and said she was sorry, but the room was filthy and she needed at least 15 minutes. We had already brought everything up to the floor so thought we would wait. 1 hour and 45 mins later, almost two hours past our guaranteed check in time, we were let in the room. Aside from the bumpy start, the condo was beautiful, property was awesome and the stay was super relaxing. Mahalo

The condo was perfect for what my wife and I needed for a few days. The condo is updated very nicely in the kitchen and bathroom. Beautiful cabinets and granite countertops in the kitchen and a nice bathroom with a glass walk in shower. The place was very clean and the best part is the beautiful lanai looking out to the ocean. Book this place the grounds are beautiful and it would be perfect for a couple. We will be back!

Apartment was comfortable. Balcony overlooks one of the pools. Washer/dryer convenient too. This is a large resort. Mostly an older crowd, didn't see many children. Quiet in the evenings. Never did get either of the A/C's to work, but the nights were cool so just used the ceiling fan. Overall good for the price

It’s hard to believe that it has already been a week since we returned from our wonderful holiday in Maui. Thank you Bob for your hospitality and the use of your beautiful island home at Papakea. Every time we walked into the condo, we were impressed by the breathtaking view! Everything we needed was provided - from the fully equipped kitchen to the beach chairs. You thought of absolutely everything to ensure our stay was perfect. We began and ended almost every day on the lanai - it was heavenly. Although the location is very private it is still close to everything . We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and loved every aspect of your amazing piece of paradise. The time we spent at Papakea was perfect for our body and soul (especially the lovely sunsets) and we left feeling rejuvenated. Looking forward to future visits. With Warm Aloha...Jenn and Tim

The property was nice, neat and clean. Couple things that could have been better, we don't come to Maui to watch TV but when we were here there was a hurricane heading towards the Islands and we tried to get updated on the TV. Getting the cable on and set up was way more compilcated than it needed to be. There is a rather loud noise (think pump, compressor or fog horn) that an be heard in the condo thru out the day and night. The noise was not so loud we could not sleep but loud enough to be a bother. Other than couple things its a nice condo and would stay again.

My husband, teenage son, and I stayed in E207 for one of our annual trips to Maui. We have stayed at Papakea in various units over the past 40 years and we wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
E207 was very clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. The A/C was wonderful to have for those hotter days but mostly we didn’t need to use it because of the breeze you get in this unit.
Bob, the owner, was great to work with and was extremely responsive to any questions we had. We will absolutely be staying in this unit again when we return next year.

We enjoyed our stay. We really liked how close it is to several beaches. It was nice that there was snorkel gear and a cooler provided. The property was nice, but not a lot of beach front access. We were not told ahead of time that there is a $17 a day resort fee not included in the initial cost. We also had a hard time figuring out the bedroom AC, but the fan worked well.

We loved this unit! We traveled as three married couples and each couple chose individual units at Papakea. We loved our choice! It was clean, a great location, comfy bed, and we loved being on the second floor overlooking the grounds. There are two AC units that cooled the place right down when we got back home every day. The bedroom AC unit made a bit of noise every minute or two, which was annoying. But it didn't ruin our stay. The two other couples we traveled with only had one AC unit in their condos, so we were grateful we had two.. The kitchen was well stocked, we loved being able to use the washer and dryer. Supplies for the beach were plentiful! They had towels, chairs, boogie boards, coolers, etc. The owner response throughout our booking and stay were very responsive. I've stayed in vacation rentals all over the world and this one did not disappoint!

Always a treat to get to stay in Papakea E207. I have now stayed in Bob’s unit many times and it never disappoints . The views from Lanai are amazing and location is awesome. The unit is fully stocked I left a new Tommy Bahama chair and there’s another 3 plus in closet along with cooler , umbrella and multiple body boards. I highly recommend making dining reservations well ahead of stay as many restaurants are booked out months . Thanks again for letting us enjoy our stay in your beautiful unit Bob. Can’t wait to return next summer !!!!

For anyone looking for a place to stay in Maui, I highly recommend staying at this condo. It's beautiful, super clean, and well equipped with kitchen and household supplies. This condo is a lot better than staying at fancier and bigger hotels. The parking lot, pool, and beach is walking distance from the condo. This condo is 5 stars (or more) without any doubt or question!
July 2013
We recently spent two weeks in Papakea and found this condo really lived up to its description! The recent remodel has been completed very tastefully with upscale materials throughout. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need and with the grills around the pool we found we cooked most of our meals at the resort. The furnishings are very nice and comfortable with flat screen TVs in both the living room and bedroom. Both the king bed and the sofa bed were very comfortable, with lots of room for cloths in the bedroom closet. The condo is also very well stocked for activities with beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrellas as well at putters for the putting greens. The lanai is awesome with expansive views of the ocean and resort grounds and comfortable upholstered furniture. We ate most of our meals on the lanai overlooking the ocean. In the two weeks we were there we never once used the air conditioning, with the cooling trade winds the condo stayed nice and comfortable all day long. Apart form the condo itself the resort is also full of wonderful amenities such as pools, hot tubs, tennis and shuffleboard courts and beautiful manicured grounds. It was great to lay out on the lounges and enjoy the sun or go for a walk on the beautiful Kaanapali beach. The location is perfect as it is walking distance to shops, grocery stores & restaurants and a great farmers market three mornings a week. Overall this unit and resort exceeded our expectations in every way, we will definitely be back! Thanks Bob & Mona for sharing your Maui home with us!

This was our first trip to Maui and I it was so lovely to use this condo as our home base.
The description was perfect and the location was spectacular. The pool was close by, the location to the parking lot was great, the beach was close by. The unit was great. Yes, I'm going on and on about everything - it was all wonderful.
I would definitely recommend this condo (I already have!) and hope we are fortunate enough to return to Maui and stay again.
The owner was very prompt on returning any email inquiry I had. Again, I'm going on and on - what a great experience!
June 2013
My wife and I spent our honeymoon at this condo and absolutely loved it! It's a comfy one bedroom condo with a full kitchen that was equipped with all the amenities and kitchen utilities we needed (we didn't eat out a single time during our stay in Maui and cooked at the condo instead). The condo has been recently remodeled and it shows! It was equipped with boogie boards, putters, golf balls and beach chairs/umbrella for added excitement during your stay. The location is also great! We especially enjoyed sitting out on the lanai, eating breakfast and dinner while enjoying the beautiful ocean view. The resort is a five minute walk from a farmer's market and a dozen shops and local eateries. It is also about a two minute walk away from the beautiful Ka'anapali beach which made for daily memorable walks. We loved this location and wish to return again someday!
February 2013
Over the last twenty-five years we have stayed in 6 out of the 11 buildings and about a dozen different units at Papakea. This unit is definitely the nicest. The materials used in the recent renovation are high end and the condo has been tastefully decorated. The furniture is very comfortable --- even the patio set on the lanai has been replaced since the pictures were taken. As advertised above, everything that vacationers could need or want has been provided. The owners have been helpful and considerate; it is obviousthat they want their renters to have a fantastic experience. We would not hesitate to recommend this condo to friends and family (in fact, we already have). We have only been home a week but we are so impressed that we have already booked for next winter!

We have stayed in many condos at Papakea and stayed in this condo during November 2012. We found it to be one of the best that we have ever stayed in: the bedroom furniture was placed so that there was more room to walk around and there were lots of hangers in the closet!! The bathroom was great, lots of towels and even beach towels. Also, plenty of supplies in the bathroom. The kitchen was also very nice, good appliances that functioned well. Living room furniture was good and the lanai furniture was very comfortable. We would definitely chose this condo again!
October 2012
This was our first time to Hawaii and our experience was amazing. We arrived on a late flight and had absolutely no problem finding the resort in the dark. Once arriving at the resort we called security and they came right away. They were very helpful, showing us where to park and how to get to our condo. They were also friendly and even went out of their way to get my husband football scores he had missed while on the flight.
The condo was fantastic! Clean, comfortable, spacious, and aesthetically pleasing. It contained everything you'd need for a day at the beach...beach towels, chairs, cooler and boogie boards. It also has a washer and dryer which comes in hand if you're staying for an extended amount of time. The kitchen was well stocked with all kinds of dishes, etc for any sort of cooking style. It even had plastic cups so we could take our blended drinks down to the pool. The bedroom had plenty of drawer and closest space for my large wardrobe and the king sized bed was very comfortable which is always a major plus for my husbands bad back. The view for the patio is something to rave about as well. The sound of the fountains from the koi ponds and the view of the palm trees with the ocean behind them enticed us to eat breakfast on the patio each morning.
The grounds were well-maintained and displayed beautiful tropcial flowers such as bougainvillea, bird of paradise and hibiscus flowers. There was always something to do at the resort, we swam in the clean pools, went hot tubbing in the evening, played shuffle board and did some putting on the 12 hole greens. The resort felt extremely safe, relaxing and was quiet at night. The staff were helpful and friendly.
Papakea is definitetly a special place to stay while in Maui. We are so pleased with the condo and resort that we are already planning our next trip back!!!
Thank you Mona and Bob. We had an absolute blast and were very comfortable staying in your condo!

This was my first time in Maui and it was a great experience. The Condos are in close proximity to stores and a few restaurants. The location is right on the ocean and had a great view from the Lanai.
The Condo itself is well maintained and the Kitchen was it's best asset. My girlfriend and I were looking for a lowkey experience and got just that with this condo.
The Property was nice and well maintained, Pool was great and access to the BBQ pits was an add bonus. The acces to great snorkeling locations was really nice.
Only negitive was that there wasn't a beach right infront of the property but a simple 2 min walk either to the left or right of the property put you right on some beautiful sand.
The nightly ritual of guests sitting on the lawn by the sea wall watching the sunset is a memory that won't soon be forgotten.
Thanks Bob and Mona for opening your place!
Mahalo!

Having stayed at Papakea before, we had some expectation for quality and comfort, unit E207 surpassed our expectations and made for a perfect home base for our trip. The condo has a tasteful and contemporary design, but is down to earth and welcoming, giving an overall upscale home appeal. The condo is exactly as described, with high quality decor and amenities. Clean on arrival, it had everything we needed, including (to our surprise) a rice cooker (my wife is from Japan ). In the comfort domain, the bedding (sheets and all) were cotton - in contrast to a previous stay at a Papakea condo where bedding was poly-blend and not very comfortable. The location on the 2nd floor offers nice privacy, while a tree right off the lanai provides a touch of terrestrial life, often accompanied by singing birds (condos on higher floors are missing this). We cooked almost all of our meals in the condo (or at the grills), and never thought that something was missing from the kitchen supplies. The remodeled kitchen is a joy to be in and is well equipped for any kind of cooking. The bathroom also is renovated with a beautifully stone tiled shower and contemporary glass door. Really a beautiful unit, and when you match that up with a location as ideal as Papakea with it's proximity to a great supermarket, West maui beaches, and a few key restaurants, this is condo is quite the find.

My family and I just returned from staying at this condo at the Papakea resort just this week. We had a wonderful time. The condo was beautifully decorated and we thoroughly enjoyed the view of not only the ocean, but of the pool and the gorgeous coy pond. I loved sitting out on the patio just reading and enjoying the scenery and breeze, and the patio furniture was the nice upgraded very comfortable type which I really appreciated. Everything in the condo was neat and clean and very well taken care of. We grilled fish a couple of nights on the BBQ by the pool, and we found all that we needed right in the kitchen to make our dinners, including a rice steamer. The grounds at Papakea are immaculately cared for, and each morning you can see that the grounds keepers clean all of the pool BBQ's and pool and you can tell that the gardens, grasses and coy ponds are meticulously cared for. The condo was stocked with beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, and we were thrilled to find a pound and a half package of Roys Royal Kona coffee awaiting us! How generous and unexpected. We brought our laptop computers and had no problems using the wifi. The TV and I Pod doc worked perfectly as well. We look forward to planning another vacation at this condo at the Papakea resort.

My husband and I stayed here for my 40th birthday and could not have been more pleased with the accommodations.The property was very beautiful, clean and quiet and peaceful, just what we needed for our 10 day stay. The views were amazing and loved that the sunset did NOT gleam on the patio, so we could enjoy dinners on the patio. The location was just perfect. I loved staying on that side of the island, with the fresh fish market across the street. Just seems less crowed than the south side of the island. We will back for sure. Bob could not have been more sweet. Thank you for opening your home to us!

We spent a fabulous 12 days at this property over Christmas 2011 and look forward to doing the same thing in 2012!! There are several things that we "love" about this property apart from the fact that it's been beautifully renovated: It's close proximity to the beach and the pool, the "family" atmosphere at Papakea, the convenience of having a supermarket nearby, the BBQ area, as well as the scenic 45 minute walk along the boardwalk to Whaler's Village. All in all, we cannot imagine a better, more relaxed place to spend our winter holidays-a truly magical place!!
