I'm sure you have heard about the fires in Lahaina town. For Kaanapali and north (including Papakea) all is well. Although I know the recovery in town will take years, Papakea is still beautiful and gracious - you would never know the tragedy in Lahaina happened. You can drive anywhere on the island now, so you can visit up country (Kula), Paia, Kihei/Wailea, and Hana. Of course on the westside, there remain great places to eat and beautiful beaches - The Pour House in Kapalua is one of my favorite Italian restaurants... So I welcome you to come enjoy Maui and help us with a little influx of green - the resort, my housekeepers, restaurants etc all need your support.
Unit J-104 at Papakea is a great ground-floor condo with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. It has an updated kitchen, new ceramic tile flooring throughout (in 2023), a split system A/C in every room (both bedrooms and living room), comfortable furnishings, lots of custom touches, and a wonderful tropical interior decor!
The back bedroom is furnished with two XL twin beds, lamps, nightstands, a large dresser, and a huge closet. These can be converted to a comfy king bed. The master bedroom faces the ocean and the koi ponds, and is furnished with a king-size bed, two nightstands, lamps, a large dresser, cable TV with remote, and a large closet. It has a dreamy ocean and Molokai mountain view from the bed! Both the bathrooms have a vanity area that's separate from the toilet and shower/bath area, with a door between them.
Both the master bedroom and the living areas face the ocean, and have a lovely view across the koi ponds and the garden to the ocean and the mountains of Molokai in the distance. The garden view is very lush and tropical -- with beautiful landscaping and extensive water features of the koi ponds.
The living room has an easy chair, a recliner, a queen-size sleeper sofa, cable TV, and a DVD player -- as well as dining for four and a dining bar.
The lanai steps right out to the serene and quiet koi ponds and a large grassy area. There is no pathway in front of the lanai -- just a huge grassy expanse; so it has very light traffic and is very private. You'll be buffered from pool noise by the expanse of grass and the extensive, meandering koi ponds. The sweet sounds of the waterfalls and fountains of the koi pond provide wonderful foreground music, with the booming sounds of the surf serving as calming background music.
Just walk right outside the door to the hot tubs, pools, and the wonderful ocean.
Take a book or your kindle and relax and enjoy everything!
The condo is fully furnished with everything you'll need for even long-term stays. The full kitchen includes a dishwasher, a new oven/range, a washer/dryer, microwave, blender, and toaster. Additional amenities include a window A/C in the living room, hairdryers in both baths, and an iron and ironing board. I also provide beach towels, a cooler, beach toys, and beach chairs as extras -- to make your stay that much more relaxing and easy. As I live right here on Maui's west side, you can call on me for anything you might need; and I can generally supply it right away.
We are constantly updating the condo, and refreshing the furnishings and equipment. I work really hard to ensure that the condo is fully and thoughtfully furnished. But you are the best gauges of this; so I welcome your feedback!
As you might know, the Papakea Resort is a very gracious tropical...

I love this resort and have been going there for 36 years. The location and beauty of the grounds (beautiful plants and koi ponds) keeps drawing me back. The grocery store, restaurants, coffee cafe, food trucks, and great jazz bar across the street are all in walking distance . This condo has easy access to many beaches surrounding it, and is fully equipped with everything you would need to have a fun day at the beach and on the ocean. They also supply the beach towels. Further, the condo has a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook and the BBQ by the pool is great to grill. Enjoyed staying in this condo and would rent again.

The Papakea resort was all I expected with the exception of no Pool Umbrellas. As a 12 time skin cancer person, I always do my best to stay out of the sun. There is no shade at the pool or in the grass area by the ocean……..disappointing
The room itself, J-104 needs updating. We ran out of toilet paper and paper towels and had to buy our own. Papakea said they would not supply. That is a first that we needed to supply everyday paper products. The unit was well stacked with beach toys which was appreciated. Many floor tiles were loose and made noise as you walked on them. Could use more lighting in the main area….1.5 lamps are not enough. The resort was a quality facility and the room was adequate making our stay memorable but not great.

We love staying at Papakea, this is our seventh time staying here. We stayed in this same unit on a previous visit and again were very happy with our stay. The unit was clean and well equipped for cooking. It’s always a bonus that there is beach equipment available to use.

We loved the condo and the grounds.We’ve stayed at the Westin but much preferred our stay at the Papakea. The condo turned out to be much nicer than we expected. My boys especially liked the bbq’s around the pool. Will definitely recommend this place to our friends.

The condo was a great size for our two teenagers and my husband and I. The layout feels a lot bigger than the pictures with the second bedroom on the other side of the condo. Since this was on the 1st floor we were also able to enjoy the lanai which made it feel even larger. The resort is really well maintained and has a lot of activities right onsite like a putting green and shuffle board. There is a food truck spot about a block away with 5 different food trucks at night. The wait is crazy, so be ready to hang out while they make your food. Sloppy Cakes is a great breakfast place across the street where you can make your own pancakes, great for kids and always packed. A couple of things to consider when booking is the condo isn’t updated, so if you need fancy this isn’t for you, BUT it’s well priced, clean, well located, and the owner was great to work with. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Great experience.. Location is steps to beach and pool.. Plenty of dining options, food trucks, restaurants and a reasonably priced supermarket (You can get by a week buying groceries at this store for a good price) all in all a great location.. The condo is a bit dated but location and position of condo make up for it.. Definately recommend it..
