Escape to Paradise – Oceanfront Comfort & Value at Papakea Resort, West Maui

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?

10 Reasons Our Guests Keep Coming Back

1. Unmatched Value with 5-Star Hospitality
We offer competitive rates, especially for longer stays and repeat guests. You won’t find a better combination of location, amenities, and value. Just check our stellar guest reviews—you’ll see why many guests return year after year.

2. Incredible Views, All-Day Comfort
Stay cool on the lanai with natural shade from our north-facing exposure, plus enjoy gorgeous views of the ocean, koi ponds, and putting greens—without the intense afternoon sun. And yes, we have air conditioning and ceiling fans when you need them.

3. Hawaiian-Inspired Interior + Comfort of Home
Enjoy our California King bed, Hawaiian-themed living room with queen sofa bed, and cozy seating. Our fully equipped gourmet kitchen includes stainless steel pots and pans, slow cooker, blender, rice cooker, full-size fridge with ice maker, and even a washer and dryer.

4. Entertainment Options for Wind-Down Evenings
Two Smart TVs (in bedroom and living room) offer Netflix, Prime Video, Roku, cable, and even DVDs. Perfect for relaxing after a day exploring Maui.

5. Your Home in a Resort Paradise
Papakea is not just a resort—it’s a 13-acre oceanfront tropical retreat. With 2 pools, 2 hot tubs, 3 tennis courts, 12-hole putting greens, shuffleboard, and oceanside cabanas, there's always something to enjoy—or not. Reading under the palm trees counts too.

6. Walk to Everything
Beach access is 2 minutes away, leading to miles of shoreline and the scenic Kaanapali boardwalk. World-class shopping and dining at Whaler’s Village or snorkeling at Black Rock are all nearby.

7. Dine In or Eat Out – Your Choice
With Times Market across the street and ABC Store next door, stocking up is easy. Not cooking? Walk to dozens of restaurants and food trucks within ¼ mile.

8. Onsite Concierge = Stress-Free Fun
Let our friendly concierge team help you book tours, luaus, snorkeling, or restaurant reservations. All just steps away.

9. True Owner-Direct Rental
No guessing. No third-party surprises. You’re renting directly from us—the owners who care. What you see is exactly what you get.

10. All the Extras You Didn’t Know You Needed
Free parking, free WiFi, beach towels, beach chairs, iron, hair dryer, and more. Even a mirror in the living room reflects the ocean, so you see waves from the kitchen!
________________________________________
Additional Highlights:
1. Interior Recently Renovated: Granite countertops, cherry wood cabinets, custom finishes, and new plumbing—our building (E) has already completed its renovation.
2. No Resort Fees: Unlike many Maui resorts, Papakea has no daily resort or hidden fees.
3. Cool Breezes & Ocean Sounds: Let the trade winds and sound of the surf lull you to sleep. (We also have AC, just in case the breeze takes a break.)
4. Ideal for Couples or Small Families: Sleeps 4 comfortably with King bed + pull-out queen sofa.

Our Story
We fell in love with Papakea and this unit on our very first visit—and ended up buying it. We want to share that experience with you. Our many repeat guests enjoy early booking privileges and discounted rates, and we hope you’ll become one of them.

Quiet and comfortable

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.

Spectacular Vacation at Papakea

We had a wonderful time at your condo at Papakea; it fit our needs perfectly. It was so quiet and relaxing and the grounds were amazing. I would recommend this resort and your condo to anyone. My first trip to Maui was spectacular! We would love to come and visit again!

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
