A Whaler watchers and Golfers paradise…
As you enter the suite you will be greeted by the tranquilizing sound of the Ocean just a stones toss away... Feel the gentle and cooling trade-winds blow through your hair while you relish in the panoramic Ocean Front views, the neighboring islands of Lanai and Molokai appear close enough to swim to. Leave all your cares at home and embrace the sluggish Hawaiian pace where the biggest decision today is flip flops or bare feet.
The second story location gives you the privacy you want AND the opportunity to enjoy the true Oceanfront experience. After 30 years of visiting Maui, I specifically chose Papakea due to the meticulously maintained grounds and the proximity to the Ocean. With two put-put courses, two elegant Oceanside pools, barbecues, tennis courts, shuffleboard courts, lounge chairs, koi ponds and mature and lush Hawaiian plants Papakea truly feels like a tropical oasis…
Papakea is an exquisite resort of 11 low-rise condo buildings built on a sprawling and beautifully landscaped 13 acres, as close to the Ocean as you can get... The “L” building is one of just 3 Oceanfront buildings on property and THE CLOSEST to the Ocean, a truly amazing place to enjoy a one of a kind West Maui sunset.
In the winter (and spring), the humpback whales are commonly seen just a short distance away offering a private show of breaching, spouting and waving.
Maui Whale Season – Dec 15 – May 15
4 conveniently located golf courses – Kai and Royal (Kaanapali), Bay and Plantation (Kapalua)
The resort also offers several free exercise classes, once a week Mai Tai and Hawaiian music gathering as well as a putting tournament. There is an on-site concierge for all of your excursion needs.
This condo comes with a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals. It is equipped with a Bosch washer and dryer. We supply beach towels, 2 beach chairs, 2 boogie boards, there are several games/puzzles, lots of Maui guide books, and a starter supply of the some of the basics (soaps, toilet paper and paper towels). The unit was recently remodeled including tile floors, an open concept kitchen, stainless steel appliances, granite counters and renovated bathrooms. Split system AC in both bedrooms and the living room.
This condo is managed by a local property management company (located just three blocks away) to ensure a stress-free vacation. They specialize in ONLY the finest vacation rentals in West Maui.

This was a wonderful place for my family on our recent trip to Maui. Not only is the location amazing, but the view is unbeatable. We often saw turtles and spent our evenings stargazing over the ocean. The property was clean and well stocked. My kids loved the pools and the walk to the beach was easy. Sometimes, nearby parking got a little tight, but there’s nothing the property owner could do about it- just something to plan for if you have a lot to carry in. We loved this property and would definitely stay here again!

Can’t say enough good things about this property. A great location and beautiful waterfront view. The property itself is updated, clean and fully stocked with all of our needs for the week. The staff is so friendly and there is plenty to do if you want to hang around the property. We would highly recommend it to anyone who is coming to Maui for vacation. Thank you!!

Beautiful unit with the best view of the ocean at the resort. We needed a new coffee maker so I called the property manager and we had one delivered right away. Great customer service.

Loved that the condo was right next to the ocean, also the beach chairs were nice. There was easy access to food with the food trucks next door and the fish market was our favorite place to order food from. We had a car rental so if we didn’t want to swim at the beach next door there were a lot to choose from on that side of the island.
I payed the extra $20 to have the bed in the front room made into 2 twin beds but it was just the one when we arrived. I emailed the property manager and they apologized and said it would be taken care of by housekeeping but it never was. We knew to keep all of our food in the fridge and took out the garbage every night but we still saw a couple of cockroaches. We went to Maui with a group of 15 so we had 4 condos between us all at the Papakea Resort and they all had a couple of cockroaches. I guess this a common pest here so even though it gave me a bit of a surprise I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

This property is exactly as described. You cannot get any closer to the ocean. Watching whales every morning while enjoying coffee on the balcony was our favorite thing to do in the unit. We brought binoculars and were happy to see this property had them for us to use as well.
Beds were very comfortable. Linens were nice. There were plenty of pillows on the bed.
Communication with the manager was excellent. The beds in the second room weren't set up in twins. One text message and it was fixed asap. We couldn't figure out how to start the ac. It is clearly stated in the welcome book that we didn't notice until the second day. It was so nice to have ac in all rooms of the unit.
We cooked many meals in the kitchen. It was pretty well stocked with pots and pans. There was even some olive oil and spices to use.
It is located within walking distance to a local grocery store, a short drive to Whaler's Village, as well as Kapalua area beaches.
Boogie boards, beach chairs, and nice beach towels were provided.
We spent the Christmas holiday with tans and smiles. It was truly a dream come true.
We are already planning a return trip. I would rent from this company again. They were easy to work with.
