Papakea F306: Oceanfront Retreat

Experience Maui’s magnificence from this beautifully appointed third-floor oceanfront condo. Perfectly positioned in the heart of the Papakea complex, F306 offers the ideal balance of convenience and privacy - close to both resort pools and amenities while maintaining a peaceful, secluded feel with sweeping panoramic views.

This stunning retreat showcases premium finishes throughout - stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and stylish furnishings blend seamlessly with elegant bamboo flooring. The sophisticated bathroom features Kohler fixtures and a beautifully tiled shower to elevate your daily routine.

Rest peacefully on the comfortable king bed with quality mattress, lulled to sleep by the sound of gentle waves. Additional guests find comfort on the queen-sized sofa sleeper in the living area. Both the living and bedroom spaces feature their own split AC units, ensuring perfect climate control throughout your stay.

Your private lanai delivers nature’s most spectacular show - witness sea turtles and majestic whales breaching during season, and technicolor sunsets that transform the sky each evening. The views stretch across the Pacific to neighboring Molokai and Lanai islands, creating a living postcard from every angle.

Just steps away lies a cool, grassy lawn perfect for relaxation, with beautiful beaches within easy walking distance. The central location provides easy access to resort amenities while the third floor elevation ensures your privacy and tranquility. Smart TVs in both living area and bedroom, along with complimentary 5G WiFi, provide entertainment when you can pull yourself away from mesmerizing ocean views and occasional magical rainbows arching across the horizon.

We've stayed at Papakea several times and this is one of the best units. Nicely updated and furnished with split ACs in the bedroom as well as the living area. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. During an unexpected public safety power shutdown on West Maui, the hosts stayed in touch to be sure we were okay. The unit had flashlights available in the unit. They also dropped off battery lamps and a battery backup charger personally. It was so nice to meet the hosts. We’ll be back!
Beautiful sunsets.

Aloha Gail, Thank you so much for your kind words — they truly made our day! We absolutely loved having you and are so glad you felt at home in F306. The power shutdown was certainly unexpected, but making sure our guests are comfortable is always our top priority. It was such a pleasure to finally meet you in person, and we’re already looking forward to welcoming you back to Papakea in 2027! A hui hou, Susan

About the host

Host profile image
Aloha!

We’re Steve and Susan, passionate longtime Maui lovers who fell so deeply in love with this magical island that we made it our mission to share that experience with others. After years of exploring every hidden beach, local eatery, and breathtaking sunset spot as visitors, we invested in two beautiful properties in 2019 to create unforgettable vacation experiences for fellow travelers.

For over five years, we’ve been dedicated to hosting guests who return year after year, drawn by both the island’s natural beauty and our commitment to exceptional hospitality. This June, we made the exciting decision to personally manage both properties, allowing us to provide even more attentive, customized service and direct communication with our guests. Please note that while you may see zero reviews on our current listings, this is simply because our extensive review history remained with our previous management company when we transitioned to self-managing. We’re excited to start building our review collection again while continuing to provide the same exceptional hospitality our guests have enjoyed for years.

Our passion is ensuring every guest experiences the magic that first captured our hearts here. From the moment you arrive until your reluctant departure, we’re committed to keeping you informed, comfortable, and inspired. We know that when you fall in love with Maui the way we did, one visit is never enough - and we can’t wait to welcome you back to our island paradise again and again.

Book with confidence knowing you’re staying with hosts who truly understand what makes a Maui vacation extraordinary.

Warmest aloha,
Steve & Susan
