Direct Oceanfront Condo in Kaanapali! Renovated & Air Conditioned! Amazing Views

Kaanapali beach welcomes you with this spacious home with Stunning Views! This is the perfect apartment if you are looking to get away from it all and re connect with your significant other. There is nothing better than sitting on the Lanai and listening to the waves! It is not unusual to spot whales and sea turtles while sitting on our Lanai. One of the nicest, if not THE nicest unit at Papakea. Truly deluxe! Ocean front with FULL ocean view and just 30 feet from the water. You can almost reach out and touch the ocean! Meditate and relax, stroll by the Koi ponds and water features and see tropical flowers, red ginger anthurium and bird of paradise. Breathe in the fresh ocean air and listen to the sounds of the water.

This is a legally permitted vacation rental and is hotel zoned according to the County of Maui ordinances.

Beautiful Papakea oceanfront

Updated, spotless oceanfront condo at Papakea. Well appointed with everything you could wish for during your stay. We were particularly impressed with the kitchen—probably the nicest and best equipped we’ve stayed at. Hope we’ll be able to book it for future trips.

Whale Watching

The online listing and pictures were very accurate but watching whales and their young from your private lanai is not easy to put into words or pictures. The condo exceeded all of our expectations; well stocked, quiet and walkable to several excellent restaurants. One night we had a storm which caused one of the nearby resorts to lose all their power for several hours. We received an email the morning after from Dee just checking in. We had no problems but it was nice to know she was concerned Very enjoyable week in Maui; we highly recommend!David & Mary K

BEST VIEW EVER

I can't wait to come back! The condo was well stocked, beautifully decorated, and the view was absolutely outstanding. We spent one night away at a fancy Hyatt resort (the Andaz) and we really missed our view and the extra space while we were gone. Don't hesitate - book this place immediately if it's available to you. You will not regret it!

Whales just off the lanai.

Very nice, quiet, clean, small one bedroon ocean front condo. The condo is only about 30 feet from the ocean. Second floor location is great for whale watching. Mom and baby whales so close you can hear them splashing around. Turtles along the seawall. Spectacular sunset views. Ocean front is expensive but well worth the extra money for a relaxing vacation. We have visited Papakea many times over the years and this is the best condo we have rented in the resort.

Dream condo with a dream-like view

Everything about this condo was incredible. From the moment you walk in through the front door, the glance at the beautifully presented bedroom, and in the living room you are greeted with the most incredible view of the ocean. The condo was perfectly decorated, with all the little details thought of for making your stay comfortable. Of our first time visit to Maui during a 6 night stay at 3 different VRBOs, this was our favorite overall. Would absolutely book this unit again in the future.

My husband and I stayed at the condo last week and had the best time. The view is amazing and we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony whale watching. We saw so many whales. The condo is tastefully decorated and very clean. I loved the organized kitchen. We felt so relaxed and at home there. Many places (grocery, restaurants etc)are nearby that you can either walk to or are a short drive so the location is convenient. The communication with the host is excellent. Her response time was great. All in all we would absolutely love to return.

Great location. Amazing Views. Beautiful Condo.

This condo was fully equipped with everything we needed, and then some. The view from the 2nd floor lanai was amazing and we spent many hours there as well as the lawn area in front. Depending on the tide, there is a small beach in front of the sea wall with stair access. The grounds at Papakea are very well kept and the staff was helpful and friendly. Within walking distance to a grocery store, ABC store, several restaurants and beaches. Because West Maui is still recovering, we were a bit hesitate to go but the people were very welcoming and we have no regrets about going. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer!

Best VRBO Stay Ever!

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Beautiful, clean, and organized condo. Had everything, but didn't feel cluttered. Everything was labeled, which my type A personality appreciated. I was surprised at all the thoughtful details including goggles, q-tips, aloe vera, coffee, extra pillows, lights on dimmers, ALL the beach supplies, mini golf and tennis gear, and outdoor solar nightlights. The property was QUIET and the view was gorgeous. Got to see a rainbow right outside the slider doors and humpback whales for the entire stay. Lovely. Perfect, will definitely be back again!!

Amazing place. Every day we woke up we felt like we were on a cruise as the view of the ocean is stunning. Immaculate. Beyond comfortable. Owner is very thoughtful on making it home away from home. Definitely would rent agin from owner hands down. Very response super thoughtful on what is needed even down to ice packs in the freezer for a picnic lunch! Stop scrolling and pick this place. Clean.

Lahaina Ocean Front

Immaculate condominium with fabulous ocean front view and perfectly maintained grounds. Have stayed at several units during our vacations and can easily say this is as nice as you can find and equals a 4 star resort. Attention to every detail with snorkeling sets, boogie boards, cooler, golf equipment. We explored all the local beeches but didn’t really need to leave the complex. Walking distance to local grocery and restaurants but far enough away that you don’t hear the noise. Thank you Dee & Randy for sharing the special space and reflects how invested you are in the guest ‘s experience while on vacation. We’re coming back!

Nice ocean front view

This condo was a very nice tastefully decorated place to stay. My wife and I both enjoyed all the comforts that were provided to us and the living space felt very roomy. The views are really beautiful and everyone gathers on the grass and Lanai's to watch the sunset. The water in front of it is fun to take a dip and cool off with a small beach during lower tides. It was reat to watch the turtles swim by all day. The location is great, there are food carts, restaurants, and a grocery store right off the driveway in to walk to. The grounds are also great to walk through with lots of wildlife and pretty flowers. It definitely is a more resort sort of feel, so if you are looking to get away from people, this won't be that type of place as its a large complex. The shower and bathroom is a bit on the smaller side, so if you are really tall (I'm 6') it would be a bit tight. But we never really had any issues with it, most hotel bathrooms are the same size and with 2 people it was just fine. Recommendations: There was 2 main things my Wife and I both agreed would have made it better. We really needed a box fan to help move the AC air from the living room to the back bedroom as it never really got to there and we had to run it way too much so it was cold in the living space and warm in the bedroom/bath. There really needed to be some privacy shades installed in the living space, when the sun hits it in the evenings, it would reflect off the water and into the house and the installed shades didn't cut it. We had to wear sunglasses in the house just to watch TV or be in there because it was so bright. Neither of those things should be considered deal killers for this place, it was amazing and fun to stay there. We really enjoyed it and are thankful for what it offered. Its so much better then a hotel, I was not disappointed at all! Thank you!

Maui is always great however this little gem of a room is absolutely the best. Stayed at multiple others over the years and this one tops them all. It had everything you need and the best view! Not sure what "squatter's rights" are on Maui but we thought about taking a chance.It was very clean and things marked clearly. I would go and check out what other guests have left behind before you go shopping. We purchased things we didnt need. No one will need butter for a while.

Aloha,
We are owners of G104 and A204. We are so excited to be able to offer our home away from home to you. We live in Vancouver Canada and have 3 grown children and four adorable grand children. We love traveling and especially going to Maui so we decided to buy our own condo! Both my husband and I are self employed and have very demanding jobs. We find Maui is a great place to relax, take in the breath taking views and re connect as a couple. We hope you enjoy your stay and make beautiful memories.

Dee & Randy Hnatko purchased this Condo in 2018

Why they chose this property

We looked at many different resorts in Maui and chose Papakea Resort because it is one of the few resorts that is right on the water. The grounds are tropical, the amenities are impeccably kept and the resort is very quiet. We picked a second floor unit with direct water views so we can sit on our Lanai and enjoy the views of the ocean and the sounds of the waves. If you are looking for a relaxing and fulfilling holiday, A204 will not disappoint.

What makes this property unique

We renovated our condo with a tropical modern beachy feel decor. We hope you enjoy your stay. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable.
Mahalo!
