Welcome to our fully remodeled, ocean-view condo at the renowned Papakea Resort, West Maui’s hidden gem. Located just a 2-minute stroll to North Kaanapali Beach, our north-facing unit offers unobstructed panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, putting greens, koi ponds, and swimming pool—all while staying cool and shaded throughout the day.

Why choose our Papakea condo over the others in West Maui?

Great condo!

This is a great condo! The only thing that was a bit of an issue for us what's that there is no beach access from the property (our 9 yr old had more of an issue with this than we did) and the AC was on a timer. Condo was clean with a well-stocked kitchen. 🙌 Lots of beach toys (boogie board, paddle board, beach chairs, etc) for use. We'll likely be back!

We have rented many times from VRBO and have had good experiences. But Ray Prasad is an exceptional person and his condo was fantastic. We stayed three weeks and enjoyed every minute. Kitchen and bathroom were well stocked . View fantastic. Ray called two days after we arrived to check on how things were going. Nice touch. Looks like he has recently upgraded the entire condo. Nice place fair price.

Paradise!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Papakea. The unit was as described but nothing could describe the view!! It was amazing. The view of Lanai, the pool, putting greens, shuffle board and the gorgeous ocean!! The morning sun and a nice shady afternoon/evening made the patio so comfortable! All the comforts of home and the convenience of having laundry in our unit made our stay so enjoyable. Our host was so responsive and the staff at Papakea were so friendly! Thank you for giving us a great “home base” for all our adventures. PS-bring your snorkel gear-so much to see in the beach area of the resort and within a few minutes drive.

A Beautiful Place in Paradise

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in UnitE 310 at the Papakea Resort. The grounds are meticulously kept and inviting. The salt water pool is so refreshing. What we loved about the resort is that it is beautiful and quiet. Our condo was wonderful. It had everything one would need in the kitchen. We would make breakfast with fresh fruit and muffins from the store. It was a delight to have coffee on the lanai and look out towards Molokai. The king size bed was so comfortable. There is ample closet space and hangers, as well as an iron and board. Having a washer and drier was so nice! The location is perfect, close to Lahaina but in its own tropical park like setting. We loved it!

Papakea perfection

As second time parents, we packed up our 8-week-old and 3-year-old and left rainy Portland for sunny Maui, and this Papakea condo couldn't have been any more perfect! The owner takes great pride in making sure you have the best stay possible; the nicely renovated unit had every amenity you could want, and was the ideal basecamp for our 7-day trip. We loved barbequing every night on the Weber grills, after watching the sunset of course. Toddler-friendly highlights include the heated pool, bathroom tub and a high railing on the lanai, which kept our son wrangled while providing our favorite hangout spot to enjoy meals and early bird views of the ocean. The Papakea grounds were beautifully manicured, pool chairs plentiful, location within walking distance to the farmer's market & grocery store, and the overall vibe was very laid back. Definitely don't skip Mai Tai Thursdays at the pool! Highly recommend this unit...can't wait for our return trip. Thanks for everything, Ray!

Maui Haven

The condo was advertised as, "Luxury Maui Vacation on Beer Budget"....that is what drew me to research this condo. It is owner operated. Ray was very easy to work with, responded promptly, accommodating & EXTREMELY helpful. I was impressed with the unit; very clean, well equipped kitchen, comfortable furniture both indoor & outdoor, beach chairs, boogie boards and putters & golf balls. The unit had a view of the ocean & pool/garden area. Even though it is owner operated, the staff at Papakea Resort were wonderfully helpful......make sure to see Sarah, the concierge to book an excursion. We experienced a maintenance issue, but it was handled promptly and without interruption to our stay. The grounds are beautifully maintained and manicured. The location is near a grocery store, beach and restaurants. Thank you Ray for sharing your WONDERFUL condo......my beer budget is still intact.

wonderful property, excellent location, lovely condo, just one small upgrade needed

Property: perfect ocean front location, beautiful grounds and several amenities -including pools, jacuzzi, pickle ball, mini golf, shuffle board etc. Minutes away from the beaches and just a 10 min drive to the downtown Lahaina. They also have lots of activities like group yoga, lei making etc. Condo: The condo itself was near perfect -the balcony had lovely expansive ocean view and also of the entire property making it very lively and cheerful watching kids run around, people enjoying the golf or strolling etc. Condo was very clean and fully equipped including but not limited to a full kitchen, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler etc. Couple of things that got missed in error were immediately provided to us. Communication with the owner was also very smooth. The only reason to take away one star was the sofa bed. It was one of the most uncomfortable bed ever. We’ve used many sofa beds and while they aren’t true beds, many have been fairly comfortable but this one was like a cradle. We understand it was not meant for adults but highly recommend upgrading it to a better one for future guests’ comfort. All in all we loved it and would definitely stay here next time we are in Maui.

To start i am an HVAC person of 20 years, i rented this space with understanding it had a working AC. When we entered the AC wasn't working, contacted owner then he told me to call handyman which i did then handyman showed up the next day to tell me he had issues with this AC in the past. The unit was flat no freon, this isn't something that happens overnight, owner chose not to deal with it and then wanted me to use my limited time in hawaii to deal with his issues. Owner commented that it freezes sometimes, which is not normal for am AC unit which tells me he knew he was having issues with it. He refused to partial refund me for no AC, handyman brought a portable AC that wasn't good enough to cool 1 room down. I will never rent from this owner again. Renters beware.

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!

One bedroom condo

We loved the resort and the location. The grounds and pool areas were very well maintained . We have stayed over in Kehei area previously and decide to try this area. The condo was a one bedroom with king bed. The mattress was a bit lumpy but otherwise ok.The kitchen was well equipped. The ice machine on the fridge didn’t produce ice so we had to buy ice. The air conditioner didn’t seem to keep the condo very cool. The unit is on the end by the stairwell which can be noisy at night. We did have issues with the wash machine and contacted the owner who was pleasant to deal with and was attending to the problem promptly, however it had not been fixed by the time we left. I would rate this condo 3.75/5. Location resort and staff 5/5

Ants and roaches

The resort was lovely but we were disappointed with our stay in the unit. There was an infestation of ants and roaches in the kitchen where we had to throw out groceries that became contaminated. The owner was immediately responsive and offered pest treatment which we declined to avoid exposure to chemicals. Instead, since we didn’t feel comfortable using the kitchen, we asked for a 25% discount off the daily rate which was rejected. The owner offered $100 to cover food-related costs, but later wrote that refund would only be available after we submitted our review. At this time of writing, it is unknown whether we will receive that refund.

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
