About this property

GORGEOUS OCEANFRONT PENTHOUSE

Completely renovated true oceanfront 3 bedroom (2 bedroom plus loft) 3 bathroom penthouse in Papakea unit F405. The view is phenomenal!!! There is absolutely nothing in between you and the ocean which is 50 feet away. Whale watching from the living room, the lanai…even the master shower. Absolutely gorgeous renovation with new 4 zone A/C. Not your average property, this bright and airy home with high vaulted ceilings is beautifully furnished with a casual beachy flair. The new 4 panel sliding door really opens up the indoor space to the lanai which is perfectly furnished for relaxing or socializing. Papakea has 3 “TRUE” oceanfront buildings and only a handful of 3 bedroom 3 bathroom suites.

Thoughtfully designed with an abundance of seating inside and out and a beautiful driftwood table that seats 10. Enjoy an afternoon of reading and relaxing on the lanai day bed listening to the lull of the ocean waves. Sit back and enjoy the gorgeous sunsets on the super comfy lounge chairs or enjoy your morning latte on the outdoor table for two. Large sectional for cozy evenings with the family watching movies on the big flat screen TV.

Need to get away? Enjoy the gorgeous master suite with luxurious king size upholstered bed, vaulted ceilings and cozy swivel chair to enjoy the stunning views. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves in the master bedroom and open up the beautiful new windows which allow an extra spacious opening to appreciate this amazing location.

The second bedroom on the main floor has a queen bed plus a built-in single bed on top of the owner’s lock off closet. The 3rd bedroom is a spacious loft with stairs from the living room. It has a sliding woven shade for additional separation and privacy. Privacy shade is not shown in the photos. This bedroom has some ocean views and a queen bed along with a twin bed. We also have a queen size sofa bed in the living room. The stairs to the loft bedroom are narrower and slightly steeper than normal stairs, so not the best for the elderly or toddlers. Our suite does sleep 10 people, but I would not suggest this for an extended visit, as it might seem crowded.

We like quality, so we have not scrimped on beds, linens, towels, dishes etc. Beautiful upholstered beds, Saatva luxury mattresses. and fresh white 100 percent cotton sheets. We have an abundance of dishes, wine glasses, serving pieces etc. No need to go out for latte’s, with our Breville machine, also a drip coffee for those who prefer. Make smoothies with the Vitamix blender and fresh juice with the Champion Juicer. Our brand new full size washer and dryer is perfect for a large family.

If you read through some of the reviews you will see that I am very hands on and always available to answer any of your queries, and unexpected issues that can sometimes arise. I provide an extensive information manual to answer all your questions and I have things very well organized and labelled for your convenience. Our Maui home is kept impeccably clean.

We are perfectly situated in the complex to maximize the cooling trade winds and 4 nice big ceiling fans keep it naturally comfortably cool. But for those who want it really cool we have installed a brand new 4 zone A/C unit which cools all 3 bedroom and the living room separately.

We love our Papakea location just a short walk to so many amenities. The famed Kaanapali Beach is less than a 10 min walk away and this beautiful beach stretches over 2 miles to Black Rock point at the Sheraton and then beyond to Whaler’s Village and the Kaanaplia Resorts. For the runners and walkers in your group there is an approximately 7-mile return run along the boardwalk or along the ocean’s edge. Along the boardwalk there are a number of ocean front resort restaurants and bars to enjoy breakfast, lunch, happy hour or dinner. Dukes restaurant is a perfect spot for a sunset dinner and is a short ocean front walk away. There are a handful of yoga and fitness classes along the oceanfront that you can sign up for. Across the street are a variety of stores including a grocery store, fish market, coffee shop, Paradiso Pizza, & walk-in medical clinic etc. There is a great collection of food trucks, a five minute walk away. The Thai food is especially good there.

The straight goods on the beach: there is only a small amount of beach left in front of Papakea and this varies depending upon the time of year, swell and tides. Many years ago Papakea had an expansive beach which was washed away in a storm. Now if the tide is not too high, there is a bit of beach on the north or south end of the development. There are stairs leading down to the beach, but the beach is NOT large enough for lounge chairs. You can access the water there and if the waves are not too big you can see people swimming, snorkeling, boogie boarding and paddleboarding out in front. The water is not that deep as there is a reef out in front. Some days you can see kite surfers, wind surfers and surfers right in front! There is a multitude of places to take surf lesson or rent surboards all within a 10 minute drive of Papakea. The resort immediately south of us does have a beach which you can walk to in 2 minutes. That beach is wide enough that people do relax on towels & chairs. Our favorite closest beach is Kaanapali Beach which you can walk to in 10 mins. At the north end the waves tend to be a little bigger, and if you’re looking for calmer water or shade just head south. We really love the cove beaches at Napili Beach & Kapalua Bay and they are a 10 min drive north. There are lots of lounge chairs at Papakea and its lovely just to relax on the grass overlooking the ocean and then pop into the water if you want to cool down!

Papakea is a peaceful Hawaiian style low rise 13 acre family friendly oceanfront resort. At dusk every evening the magical twinkling tiki lights are lit and reflect on the Koi ponds through-out the property. Offers complimentary Wi-Fi, cable television and free local calls. There are 2 saltwater ocean front pools both heated to 86 degrees, 2 jacuzzi’s, 2 lit tennis courts, 2 shuffleboard courts, 2 eighteen hole putting greens, lush gardens with koi ponds, and 12 lit Weber BBQ’s.

Pool cabanas which accommodate up to 35 people for big family dinners. There are complimentary fitness classes including yoga, tai chi and swimmercise, complimentary Thur afternoon Mai Tai party & putting tournament on Sundays.

Front desk reception to obtain your keycard and get directions to your room. Luggage carts, elevators and 2 sets of stairs provide easy access for your move in and out of this 4th floor unit.

The nightly fee is for 8 guests. If you have 9 or 10 guests there Is an extra fee to cover the extra cleaning and laundry fees and the extra wear and tear on the property.

Please check the $ details before you book. We have a cleaning fee and an AC fee (PS neither of these fees actually covers our cost for the cleaning and AC).

We provide beach chairs, a cooler, boogie board or boards and a beach umbrella for your convenience. We have light weight fast drying beach towels for 10.

Absolutely no smoking or pets allowed – even on the lanai.

If you appreciate quality and are looking for something special for your next vacation choose Papakea F405. You will not be disappointed!

Christmas in Maui

This unit in Papakea was absolutely beautiful. We traveled with our family (12), eight of us stayed in this unit and we loved it! The view and the sounds of the ocean were incredible. We saw rainbows almost daily, whale watched from the deck and took naps on the patio lounger. Our time spent in Maui was amazing! We did the road to hana loop, enjoyed a sunset dinner cruise on the Pride of Maui and a Christmas Morning Molokini Snorkel with them too.

Perfect Maui Stay

We fell in love with Dana's Maui property, and didn't want to ever leave. One of the highlights of our vacation was lounging on the amazing porch, watching whales swim by in the distance, listening to the waves, photographing the constant rainbows. As a fair-skinned person, I appreciated the shade there too! Dana was so responsive and sensitive to our needs and any special requests. She's a lovely person and a stellar communicator who truly cares that her guests have an optimal experience. And we sure did. I loved sleeping in the master bedroom, with the ocean singing me to sleep each night, And what a great mattress! My son and his GF were equally as captivated by the property and loved the loft bedroom. I love the views, the tile floors and the modern design of this property, and that every need seems to be anticipated. The only negative was that we had to check out. Dana, thank you so much! We'd love to return and stay longer.

You won’t regret this Hawaiian gem!

Let me start by saying I’m not one to usually do reviews but this property is amazing! Finally a property that the pictures actually match what you get! The views are unmatched with a beautiful sunset from the lanai every evening! Plus, it’s a great place to start your morning with a cup of coffee overlooking the crystal clear waters of Maui with views of both Molokai and Lanai. Plus, There is a comfortable futon-type lounger for relaxing out there. The beds are comfortable with plenty of room for the whole family. We traveled as a family of five (3 generations) and having three bathrooms is a major plus! The loft is perfect for older kids (11 & 14 for us). Well stocked kitchen but not over cluttered as you see in a lot of rentals with lots of old pots and pans and knickknacks. The property as a whole, Papakea Resort, has a lot of great amenities including two polls and to putting greens that this condo is perfectly situated right between the two. Just book it! You won’t regret it! Can’t wait to return one day! Mahalo for an amazing stay!

Second time was just as amazing as the first!

My wife, and two daughters (age 3 and 6) just spent 3 weeks at Dana's condo, and loved it just as much as the first time we stayed there a couple of years ago. Dana is an excellent host, communicator, and property owner. You can tell by every detail that she really takes pride in her condo. We really enjoyed eating dinners on the lanai while looking for whales. There is a Bluetooth speaker that is nice to play some music while cooking. The Vitamix blender was awesome for making smoothie bowls for breakfast. There were plenty of towels, supplies, everything we needed. It truly felt like our home away from home. This is by far the best building in Papakea, and probably the nicest condo (we've stayed in many here). The way the building is oriented, you can sit on the lanai all day and not be in direct sunlight, yet still see the sunset in the evening. It's just perfect. We will certainly be back again in the future. Also, a special thanks to Mario (the manager) and the cleaning crew for all they do to make this condo a special place. Mahalo, Bobby, Emily, Ella, and Lily

About the host

Hosted by Dana Inman

Host profile image
Neil and Dana are retired and live in Vancouver when they are not enjoying their beautiful Maui home. Dana loves interior design and wanted to create a beautiful beachy environment in their Maui home. We love being active and enjoy biking (mountain & road), hiking, running, kite surfing, paddle boarding, & now surfing! We can do all of this right out in front of our condo or a few minutes away!

Why they chose this property

We love our Papakea location, and that we can walk out our door and be on the Kaanapali board walk within minutes and stroll to numerous beaches, shops, restaurants & bars. We could be there quite happily without a car! The peaceful uncrowded old Hawaii feel of the 13 acre family friendly resort is exactly what we wanted.

What makes this property unique

We also love that we have the most amazing views. Waking up and going to sleep in the master bedroom is magical. Most of the newer buildings do not have the proximity to the water that we do.
