About this property

2 min to beach Ocean View W/King Bed & AC at Papakea Ocean Front Resort

Welcome to Ocean Front Papakea resort, the gem of West Maui. Two minutes walk to North Kaanapali Beach with miles of ocean beaches and board walk. This Our 1 bed room condo with Panoramic OCEAN VIEW is fully remodeled and furnished for your comfort with Hawaii themed furniture, AC, California King Bed (Video is old and say queen bed which was replaced with King bed), full kitchen stainless steel pots and pans, slow cooker (crock pot), rice cooker, blender, toaster, coffee maker, refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher and washer and dryer, hair dryer, iron and ironing board. You may not use all these comforts of home but you have them just in case. Just think about it. Why would you pay twice as much to stay in a hotel room with half the space and none of these amenities.

If you dont want to cook, there are many restaurants in all kinds of price range including food carts within 1/4 mile of this resort.

Here are 10 reasons to choose our home (You need only a few)

1. We provide value for your money. Our rates are even better for longer stays and for repeat guests. Just read our five star reviews to get a sense of value we provide. We also accept instant booking.

2. The unique feature of this north facing unit is that you can enjoy the panoramic view of ocean, putting greens and koi ponds while staying out sun to keep cool. Keeping warm is not the problem in Maui. Keeping cool can be. But we do have AC. And fans in the bedroom and Living room when the trade winds take a break.

3. Just open the lanai sliding door and soak in the totally unobstructed view of blue Pacific Ocean and the panoramic view of manicured putting green, swimming pool and colorful fish jumping and swimming in the koi pond below you.

4. Enjoy our comfy California King Bed and Hawaii themed living room sofa with pull out queen bed and comfy chairs and ottoman.

5. TWO Internet connected TVs - one in the living room and one in bedroom provide you not only hundreds of cable channels but you have access to Netflix, Roku, Prime Videos and dozens of additional aps. If you need to watch DVD, we have that too. It is nice option to have when you had your fill outside fun Maui activities for the day.

6. Papakea ocean front resort is the gem of the West Maui with low rise tile roofed buildings, two swimming pools, two hot tubs, 12 hole two putting greens, three tennis courts, two shuffle board, two cabanas. You have lot to do if you want or do nothing or read a book by the pool or by the Ocean under the palm tree.

7. The beach in front of the resort comes and goes but beach access is only two minutes from this OCEAN FRONT Papakea resort. You have access to miles of beach and board walk on the world famous Kaanapali beach including Whaler’s village and Black Rock. You can use the board walk for fast walk and the beach for pedicure or use both like we do. We generally use the boar walk and on our return use the beach to get back but you have to hand carry your walking shoes

8. We have a fully furnished kitchen. We have ABC store next door and Times grocery store across the street. If you don’t want to cook, there are many restaurants and dozens of food carts across the street. World famous restaurants are within short driving distance.

9. We have onsite concierge service to help you plan fun activities or make reservations for restaurants or entertainment events.

10. Free parking and free WiFi.

This condo faces NORTH. That means you can enjoy amazing sunrise and use of the Lanai ALL day in shade. Open the lanai sliding door and bedroom window and let the trade winds perform the magic - let the ocean waves and breeze lull you to sleep. However, if the trade winds are quiet, we do have AC in the unit plus two fans, one in the living room and one in the bedroom.

We also have chairs and a table in lanai (in addition to 4 chairs and glass table in the dining room). You will love eating and drinking in Lanai while watching the ocean waves, 12 hole putting greens, water fountains and Koi ponds.

Another cool feature of this this suite is that you can watch the ocean waves in the large wall mirror behind the sofa even when you are in the kitchen.

Remodeled throughout, the unit has granite counter tops, cherry cabinets and custom touches and the living area has ample seating as well as cable TV and DVD player.

There is an iHome in bedroom if you want to listen to your songs on your iPod/iPhone and enjoy the comfort of comfy California King Bed with the ceiling fan.

All linens including large beach towels are provided. Hair dryer, iron and ironing board and beach chairs are also in the unit.

You will love our well-furnished comfortable home away from home our family friendly Ocean Front Resort - the gem of West Maui. We loved this unit and Maui so much that we bought our unit during our first visit to Maui and Papakea. You may not buy a unit here on your first visit or follow on visits but if you stay in our unit once, you will likely join the growing list of our repeat guest and enjoy the privileges of repeat guests - advance booking for the dates you want at reduced rates.

For this reason the rate for April has been deeply discounted. If this bothers you, you may not want to rent my unit in month of April 2025. Renovation of my condo - Condo E310 is scheduled for May 1 to May 30. My condo will not be available for rent during the month of May.

Great place!

This place is everything it's represented to be online, but Ray was an especially awesome host. We had a communication problem (on my part, not his - I'd had trouble changing the number of guests on the VRBO app and hadn't realized I hadn't correctly registered the number of guests when my son and girlfriend decided to join us kind of last minute). Ray was super helpful, didn't hold the error against me, and helped us figure out everything we needed. Highly recommend this condo and owner!

We enjoyed the location. The place was clean and looked like the pictures. Getting to and from the pool/ bbq area and beach was an easy walk. The A/C never got very cold when we returned to our room which was the only drawback we experienced.

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image
An engineer in the electronics industry with long work history at Intel and Boeing and now a consultant for the last three decades. Frequent visits to this Condo in Maui makes me feel really blessed. Hope you love this place as much we do and be one of our frequent guests to enjoy this paradise, we call Maui- voted the best island in the world (yes few times in the last decade).

Why they chose this property

Even though we have lived in the beautiful Northwest (Seattle and now in Portland) for over 30 years now, you like to get away from the rain and cold sometimes. During my first visit ever to Maui in June 2011, I fell in love with Maui. After looking at all the options we have in Maui, I found Papakea to offer everything I was looking for - north facing unit with mesmerizing ocean views and palm trees.

What makes this property unique

So close to the ocean with such a great ocean view. The view was definitely the clincher for me. You sit in your living room or lanai and be enchanted with the beauty of ocean and swaying palm trees. The sky is different every time you look out
