About this property

Gorgeous Oceanfront Year-Round Sunset Views from Lanai and Master Bedroom!

This spectacular third floor direct oceanfront unit features breathtaking views of the islands of Lanai and Molokai from your lanai, living room, kitchen and master bedroom. Our two-bedroom condo, in the highly desirable Papakea 'L' Building, is just steps from the water's edge and world-famous Kaanapali Beach. You can walk for miles or snorkel with the turtles and fish. Two pools and two spas are on site if you wish to do nothing at all, or relax in the new split AC system with individually-controlled bedroom cooling units.

Enjoy beautiful sunsets each night as you dine on your private lanai. Look for the green flash! Watch for stars and planets you often don't see on the mainland and the distant evening lights on Molokai. When you don't want to cook in the airy remodeled kitchen, grill on Papakea's gas grill collection, you can get takeout from nearby food trucks or take a very short drive to Kaanapali, Kapalua, or Napili and enjoy world-class seafood.

Winter is the season for whale and dolphin watching. You can easily see them from our third floor vantage point. Bring your binoculars and camera.

Well-maintained and previously featured on the Homeowners Tour of premium condos, the condo sleeps four with a luxury king-size bed in the master and a queen-size in the second bedroom. When you want nothing but fresh sea air, the Maui tradewinds filter through the condo. Otherwise, the unit is air-conditioned throughout with two LG Smart TV's, one in master, one in living / dining room. There is a hair dryer in each bath and free wi-fi. An elevator is nearby for easy access. All rooms are on the same level.

Papakea (crest of the wave) Resort is a tropical oasis on 13 acres of gorgeous landscaping, with koi ponds, two oceanfront pools, hot tubs, and putting greens, three lighted tennis courts, shuffleboard and 12 gas barbecues. Low density development assures you that it's not crowded. It's set back from the road, so you hear no traffic, only the crashing surf. It is minutes away from shops, museums, restaurants and galleries in nearby Whalers Village. Or, walk to the food trucks, supermarket, deli, restaurants, or shops across the street. This will be your vacation of a lifetime! Book now for best availability!

Note: Papakea Resort charges its own separate resort fee of $25/night which is collected separately at checkout. Parking for one vehicle is included; additional vehicle parking is $5/night.

Papakea Resort is upgrading interior plumbing in all condos through mid 2026. Our "L" building is expected to be closed for this construction from February 2026 through April 2026, but the final schedule will not be known until 2025. Feel free to submit an inquiry through this VRBO page if you would like to be contacted if these dates become available.

The County of Maui will be considering which resorts may continue operating as short-term rental properties sometime in 2025. We will continue to comply with Hawaii state and Maui county rules. We continue to accept reservation requests through 2025 based on the best available information.

5 Stars!

We absolutely loved our stay at Ben and Lisa's condo. We frequently stay at Papakea and this was one of my favorite units. It was clean, comfortable, well stocked, and we loved spending time enjoying the incredible view. Communication leading up to our stay was great, and we were so appreciative of an early check-in on arrival day. Thank you so much Ben and Lisa for sharing your home with us, it was paradise!

Great Stay

We have stayed at the Papakea for the past 20 years and always in the L building. The condo has everything you would need plus more. It is nicely furnished and very accommodating. The AC is a big plus but if you want to enjoy the sounds of the ocean from the condo, Just prop open the front door and open the patio slider and a great breeze will keep you cool. Maui is our favorite island and I am sure it will be yours too. We will definitely stay here again.

Amazing ocean view

Wonderful place to stay- great location and amazing views! . The condo was walking distance to restaurants, grocery and food trucks and a short drive to Kaanapali and Lahaina. The condo was so clean and nicely updated. Very well stocked with kitchen equipment and beach stuff. The a/c worked very well and the beds were comfy. There isn’t much of a sandy beach there but there is one accessible right next door and we found some great beaches and snorkeling a short drive away. We would definitely stay here again the next time we get to Maui!

Great Waterfront Condo near Lahaina

We spent a week in this ocean front condo and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There were two couples in our group so the two bedroom, two bath unit was perfect for us. The condo is on the 3rd floor, so the view from the lanai was amazing. We spent hours every morning and evening whale watching and were able to observe numerous whales rolling or leaping out of the water. The owners advised us to bring our binoculars, and we were sure glad we did. We also enjoyed the gas grills conveniently located around the pool. The grills were clean and worked perfectly. The temperature of the water in the swimming pool and hot tub were perfect for us. There was adequate parking, and although we weren't always able to park close to our condo, we never had to walk far. One of our goals for our trip was snorkeling, and although the weather didn't cooperate, the location of the condo was close to several great snorkeling areas and we were able to spend some time in the water. We would definitely staying in this condo again.

Condo was exactly as described in listing. Balcony faces west so you can view the beautiful sunsets between islands of Lanai and Molokai. Condo kitchen was adequately supplied with items needed for cooking meals and it also had nice supply of lawn chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling equipment, etc......was nice to not have to rent those items. Also liked having the washer/dryer.

Great place to stay

We’ve stayed at Papakea several times and this is a great place, it has it all. Great view, we saw a whale, turtle and a seal. It is very well equipped - from to kitchen to the closet packed full of activity stuff. Cooler, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, snorkeling gear. Kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need, and all very nice.

The Unit was Fine.

The property is older, and the grounds seemed a little rundown. We also had an unannounced water outage which lasted from late afternoon until after we went to bed. This was obviously not the fault of the owner, but was inconvenient. The front desk gave no estimate of when the water might be turned on again. Although the condo itself was lovely, I would hesitate to stay at Papakea again.

About the host

Hosted by Ben & Lisa Davoren

Host profile image
We love tropical weather, sunsets, great seafood, and snorkeling with tropical fish, turtles, and rays. We are so happy to have found Papakea as a place to enjoy it all.

Why they chose this property

Although we love to travel to new and different places, we have found ourselves coming back to Maui almost every year since our honeymoon 40 years ago. No Ka Oi isn't just a slogan, it is a way of life. The oceanfront lanai never gets old being able to relax with a tropical beverage and an ever-changing view that just might include breaching whales right out in front!
The Papakea Resort is also extremely practical: you can walk to a series of shops, restaurants, and there are two well-stocked markets at hand. Driving only a few minutes puts you in the heart of Whaler's Village at Kaanapali or further north into Napili for great beaches, snorkeling spots, shopping, and dining. Papakea also is quiet, beautifully landscaped, with pools, spas, cabanas, tennis courts, a putting green, and even a concierge desk.

What makes this property unique

You can experience the ocean view from the lanai, living room, kitchen, and the master bedroom. Hearing the sound of the surf provides a magnificent rhythm to fall asleep to.
