Spectacular OCEANFRONT! 2BR/2BA Papakea L305. Available Dec 23 - Dec 28th! 5nts

Why settle for ocean view when you can have OCEANFRONT! You could throw a coconut to the water from our deck. THE RAINBOW AND SUNSET PICTURE WERE TAKEN FROM OUR LANAI. Papakea L-305 is as close as you can get to the ocean and offers easy access to world famous Kaanapali Beach for long walks in the sand. Watch the world go by from the lanai with the privacy of being on the 3rd floor.

Watch the whales (Nov - April) from your deck while you drink your morning coffee or with evening cocktails as you watch the sunset.

Let the waves lull you to sleep. The master suite and living room have breathtaking views looking across the channel to the islands of Lanai and Molokai. We are one of the few units with both ocean front views in the living area and master bedroom. Most of the units have all the bedrooms to the back of the condo.

New air-conditioning unit in both bedrooms and the living area.

Fully remodeled. Sliding glass doors that open from the center bringing more of the view in.

New tiles floors throughout.

Newly remodeled kitchen with granite counter tops, natural cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances. Fully appointed making cooking and eating in a breeze.

Newly remodeled bathrooms. Master bath is an en-suite with a new walk in shower.

Second bathroom also has a newly remodeled walk in shower.

The Papakea Oceanfront Resort is a tropical oasis of 13 acres of manicured grounds. It has the largest amount of land of any condominium resort on Maui's Kaanapali beach, the only resort with two oceanfront pools, two spas, two 12 hole putting greens. Grounds also include three lighted tennis courts, two shuffleboards, two beach cabanas, tranquil koi ponds, lush gardens and 12 outdoor barbecues.

This is one of the best locations on Maui! From your lanai, enjoy ever-changing ocean views of beautiful sunsets, rainbows, dolphins, turtles, seals, whales(Nov.-April), surfers and boats. You will be footsteps away from great swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing and relaxation.

This 3rd floor unit, in the desired 'L 'building, is an oceanfront unit with central air and ceiling fans throughout. Kitchen is fully equipped. The bathrooms are complete with new cabinets, granite counter tops and walk in showers. Of the waterfront buildings, the 'L' building has the closest parking to the building and an elevator. It is also the closest to the year round beach next door as the beach in front of us comes and goes with the tides.

This 2 bedroom IS NOT A LOFT! This condo has two very private bedrooms and A/C throughout or fans cool the condo easier than a two story loft area.

The condo sleeps four to six with a California king bed in the master bedroom. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves. All rooms are on the same level. If you tire of the view, there are two flat screen TV's in the living room and master bedroom.

Two twin beds in the second bedroom can be turned into a king bed upon request.

The living room sofa is a queen size sleeper sofa.

There is a washer/dryer in unit.

This unit is equipped with golf putters, tennis rackets, various snorkel equipment, beach toys, collapsible cooler and beach chairs.

Amazing stay! The condo was clean, spacious, and right on the ocean. We loved waking up to the sound of the waves and having coffee with stunning views from the porch. Fully stocked with everything we needed and in a great location close to Lahaina, restaurants, and snorkeling. The property is beautiful, the pools and grounds are well kept, and having no resort fees was a huge plus. Internet is fast too. We can’t wait to come back!

We’ve been to this property many times (both with and without young children) and love it here. The view from this particular unit is amazing from sun up to sun down (and even great for star gazing!). We enjoyed most meals on the lanai turtle watching, listening to the waves, and all around relaxing. Host was incredibly kind and wonderful with her communication. It was hot during our stay and the A/C worked great - appreciated having the split units and the option to open the windows and allow the trade winds to come through. We were very comfortable! Truly a little slice of paradise!

This is the perfect place to stay! The view from the unit is incredible, waking up to whales swimming in the distance and the sounds of the ocean was so amazing. Close to everything you need and want to do in the area, I will definitely be staying here again. The host is very responsive and kind. This could not have been a better stay!

Papakea L305

Our stay at Papakea L305 was perfect for us. The condo is located right on the ocean where we enjoyed our morning coffee while watching the whales. It had all the amenities we needed to cook and grill. It has two true bedrooms instead of one bedroom and a loft like others that we have stayed in at Papakea. Thanks for the allowing us to use your home away from home for a few days.

Fantastic Ocean Front

We spent many hours on the balcony enjoying sunsets, whale watching, star gazing and relaxing. The condo appears to have recently updated new tile floor throughout, updated kitchen and bathrooms. The complex was well kept and not crowded like the huge resorts. Close to grocery and many good carry out places. Hope to be back soon.

Great location, beautiful views

The Papakea complex is very well located just north of the Kaanapali resorts, and this unit has an excellent oceanfront location with spectacular views. The only thing that prevents us from awarding 5 stars is the twin beds in the second bedroom, which both have pretty hard and uncomfortable mattresses. It also would have been nice to have at least a starter set of shampoo in the showers. Otherwise, a great property!

Wonderful Stay in Paradise

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Rachelle's Papakea condo! There were five of us with my parents taking the master suite, my sisters in the 2nd bedroom and myself on the pull out in the living room. The condo was comfortable and exactly as expected, the amenities were wonderful and easy to access and the location provided easy access to the Honoapiilani Hwy and the rest of the island. The condo was very clean, in fact my mom is usually critical of cleanliness and she was very pleased. The pool and putting greens were very enjoyable and, while we didn't use them, the tennis courts were typically always available. We would love to stay in Rachelle's condo on our next visit to Maui and will be recommending it to our friends as well. Mahalo!

Great views, relaxing atmosphere

The wife and I spent the most relaxing vacation we've had in years at Steve and Rachelle's condo at Papakea. The unit is located in the "L" building, the best location on the Papakea property. If you love the sound of the ocean, one of the two bedrooms is oceanfront so you'll have many a peaceful dream. The room is 3rd floor so you'll also get great views of Molokai and Lanai while sitting on the balcony. We've been to Pakakea in December so you can also watch the whales there during their annual migration. We look to save some money over the big hotels, yet still enjoy the charm of Hawaii. The complex has 2 pools, hot tubs and barbeques. We love going to Maui but as you probably know, food is a bit expensive. We ended up barbequing almost every night. There's a nice large market within walking distance. We highly recommend this particular unit as it is well kept and for those who need it, there is air conditioning in both bedrooms. That is something you don't get in most units. Plans are already being made to return here again. Thanks Rachelle for the great emails too!

Perfect location for an active Hawaiian vacation

My son and I planned a week-long Maui adventure and this condo was our home base. Unit L305 is a great property - on the 3rd floor overlooking the ocean. It had everything we needed and was very quiet. I woke up early each morning and drank my coffee on the lanai as the sun came up before heading off to our day's activity, whether it was hiking into Haleakala crater, getting scuba certified in Makena (Thanks, Scuba Mike!), driving to Kihei for a workout at The Gym, or just hanging out in Lahaina for a few hours. I also spent several hours at one of the resort's pools, relaxing and reading in the sun while several families with younger kids splashed around. At the end of each day we were treated to a beautiful sunset as we sat on the lanai with our cocktails. The resort grounds themselves were very nice. We didn't take the opportunity to try out the putting greens or shuffleboard, but it looked like fun. Rachelle was great to work with in setting up our stay. We had no issues to deal with while we were here, so there was no reason to interact with her while we were on the island. Everything met or exceeded our expectations. The one thing that was a bit of a nuisance was that the air conditioner in the oceanside bedroom is on a 4-hour timer, which I understand for saving energy, but it meant I'd wake up in the night and have to reset the timer. Not a big deal, but just for full disclosure. Our overall experience was exceedingly favorable and I've bookmarked this place for future vacations. I'd absolutely stay here again.

We had a wonderful vacation and loved the location of Papakea. There's a great surf shop for rentals, a grocery store, and a coffee and pastry cafe, all within a 5-minute walk. The beach is just to the left, we walked it nightly and stopped off at different resorts to eat. The place has a beautiful view of the ocean and space for the family. This place is definitely a top pick for a unit if you want to have a direct view of the ocean. Our family was planning on breaking our stay up between the north, south, and East areas. We stayed down south for a couple of nights, but ended up extending our time here because everyone preferred it to other locations.

Great Place to Stay

So glad we stayed here! This is a great unit in a great complex offered by a great host. The condo is located on the west side of Maui right next to Kaanapali beach. As in the description, the kitchen and bathroom have been nicely updated. We are a family of four and the condo provided plenty of space for us all. Communication with the host was great in answering all our questions and accommodating us by converting the twin beds into a king. We so enjoyed listening to the ocean and watching the whales in the morning with our coffee. This place will be recommended to any of our family and friends going to Hawaii.

Whale Watching Wonder

From the beautiful lanai you can look out in the distance and see whales spouting, and from time to time leaping out of the water. (next time I'll make sure I bring my binoculars for even better viewing).Loved the closeness to other resort areas to the south by using the boardwalk starting at the Papakea property. Yes, a bit of a dodge around two properties that don't connect, but once we learned the route it was easy-peasy. Could walk to Duke's restaurant at Honu Kai in just 12 minutes, and then continue on all the way to near Black Rock Point for a nice 5 mile round trip walk.Plenty of close by places to eat, Times Market just a 5 minute walk, plus other shops. An ABC market is even closer through a back-gate on the property which is great.Papi's cinnamon rolls is a real gem.... but you better be in line 20 minutes before they open at 7am, or you may have a long hour wait to enjoy them. Will be looking forward to our next visit even more now that we've scoped out the area and how to get around.Mahalo nui loa

Overall, a great location. The pictures represent the space well. It was quiet and clean. Close enough to walk to breakfast or coffee in the morning. No real beachfront, but that was made clear in the property description. The TVs were definitely on the small side and we never got them to work, but we were too busy exploring the area to really care. I highly recommend, it was a great location for my husband and my two elementary school age children and I.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are from Seattle and our family loves to come to Maui for the sun and all the water sports.

Why they chose this property

We chose Papakea Resort because we love the traditional Island feel of a lowrise building with the beautiful gardens and koi ponds. It is a great location in the heart of everything but with so much acreage to number of units it feels very relaxing. It offers so many things to do for everyone in our family from the very young to teenagers to older adults.

What makes this property unique

We chose our oceanfront condo because we love sitting on the deck watching the world go by...from the whales feeding , to boats, to fishing, and people strolling by. We love the views of sunsets, rainbows and the islands of Lanai and Molokai. We also love hearing the sound of waves from the living room as well as from the oceanfront master suite. We love being able to just step outside for a long stroll down Kaanapali Beach or boogie boarding, surfing or snorkeling.
