About this property

Oceanfront Papakea Top Floor Corner Condo with Spectacular Lanai Views!


Wake up to sweeping ocean views and unforgettable sunsets from your private lanai.

Experience Maui from this top-floor, corner oceanfront condo at Papakea Resort, where panoramic views stretch across the Pacific to the neighboring islands of Moloka‘i and Lāna‘i. From your private lanai, watch turtles, monk seals, and seasonal humpback whales glide through the water below. Inside, the condo offers bright, updated interiors with island-inspired décor, a fully equipped kitchen, and two beautifully remodeled bathrooms. Whether you’re sipping coffee at sunrise or toasting the sunset, this peaceful oceanfront retreat provides the perfect setting to relax and reconnect in the spirit of aloha.

Papakea Resort captures the best of classic Maui—13 oceanfront acres of tropical gardens, koi ponds, and palm-lined paths that lead to two pools, hot tubs, putting greens, and pool-side BBQ areas. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting just north of Kaanapali, with beaches, restaurants, and grocery options all within walking distance. Whether you spend your days exploring the island or simply unwinding by the water’s edge, Papakea’s relaxed atmosphere and warm hospitality make it an unforgettable place to stay.

Why Guests Love It

Guests often tell us that photos don’t do the view justice—the ever-changing light, the sound of waves, and the privacy of being on the top floor make this condo truly special. The setting is peaceful yet convenient, with everything you need close by. Many return year after year for the same reason: the view never gets old.

An Amazing Stay!!!

The condo is clean and beautiful inside. It felt like home away from home. The views couldn’t be better and it was amazing falling asleep to the sound of the waves at night. Friendly staff, easy check-in and everything you could need included! Comfortable beds and pillows too- a plus!!

Great View, Forget Those High End Resorts

This home boasts a great balance of ocean access, property amenities and plenty of space for our family of four. We especially enjoyed snorkeling along the coral reef at low tide directly in front of the condo. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful location, some renovation needed to condo

Great stay, very clean and amazing view and location, and owner was very responsive to issues such as faulty fridge and food lost as a result, Upstairs of condo could use serious renovation (old shower and carpet, stained bed cover), and mattress for living-room sofa-bed very uncomfortable, surprising and unacceptable given that this condo is supposed to sleep 6 and charges a high price for it. Lanai is best part.

Breathtaking Ocean Views and a Very Comfortable Stay

My husband and I returned a few days ago from our week plus stay at this wonderful condo. When we walked in, we were blown away by the amazing view. We felt like we had won the lottery -- so beautiful! It was prime time for whale watching from the lanai -- too many sightings to count! We also enjoyed watching a few sea turtles in the surf right below the lanai. The accommodations were very nice -- the hosts really made it feel like a home away from home. We also appreciated how responsive the host was with questions we had. They never left us waiting too long for an answer. The Papakea Resort where the condo is located has pretty and well-kept grounds. The front desk staff was also very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope we can come back to stay in this awesome condo sometime in the future!

Welcome to Papakea!

We traveled with family to Maui for Christmas, 4 of us stayed in this unit. Upon arrival at the main office we were greeted with an arrangement of beautiful Hawaiian flowers from the property owners Reno and Janelle. What an amazing way to greet your guests! Our time spent in Maui was filled with lots of family fun and adventure. Thank you Maui for the memories!

Beautiful corner ocean front unit with loft second bedroom and bath. Well equipped with everything we needed. Papakea conveniently located to sites, shopping and dining nearby. Sitting out on the lanai gave us perfect views of rainbows and whales, a real treat. Thanks for the welcome floral arrangement that lasted all week. Your binder of pertinent information was very helpful. A great experience in total!

Perfect condo

I am so happy we chose this condo. Salt water pool that goes 8 feet deep. Elevators which is nice to get your luggage up to the room. Yoga and swim classes in the morning. Check in was super easy and we used the concierge to book a couple of activities. The description of this place is spot on and it didn’t disappoint. Right on the water and close to restaurants and a grocery store. This was one of my favorite stays. You won’t regret booking this condo!

Excellent adventure in Maui

Everything about this property was excellent, including the owners who were kind enough to give up a day of their vacation to allow us to have an extra memorable Maui day! The online listing is accurate. The views from this condo exceeded our expectations. They are spectacular! Papakea Resort is beautiful and the staff, including Expedia were first rate. You really don't have to leave the neighborhood. Everything is within walking distance, the grocery store, restaurants and even food trucks. We will definitely return. Thank you Jennelle and Reno!!!!

Looking For A View? Look No Further!

Great location in the quiet northernmost corner of the resort. It has a perfect view of Molokai; in fact, being a corner unit with forward and side facing windows, you can see from one end of Molokai to the other even from the kitchen. Due to the direction the condo is angled, you even have a small area of shade on the balcony in the afternoon, which is not always common. You can simply slide over to see the sunset when it is time. The view to the north of the swaying palms and mountains was almost as enjoyable as the ocean view. It is perfectly located for walking to stores and take out restaurants. The king bed in the main floor bedroom was very comfortable. There was a nice Bluetooth speaker in the living room, so make sure to create a Hawaiian playlist! We are very happy to have been able to stay here. Mahalo!

Love Papakea Resort

We stay at Papakea every year and love the resort! So clean, pretty, right on ocean. We have stayed in several diff condo's. Some live up to listing, others do not. This one unfortunately did not. Bedding, especially pillows not clean. Did wash everything the first day. Rugs in living area and wall to wall carpet in second bedroom filthy. Floors, bathrooms need updating. Ice maker did not work entire stay. Air conditioner did not work first couple of days but owner was so kind to have someone come out and fix. Ran great remainder of stay. Pros- Living room decorated nicely, pretty art work, Kitchen very well equipped. Owner had flowers waiting for us which was such a lovely surprise and a first! Advice is to look at pictures closely and read reviews for units. Will return to Papakea just not this unit.

Unbeatable Stay

Our stay here was absolutely excellent. The location is perfect—just steps from the ocean with the soothing sound of waves to wake up to each morning. You can’t beat the proximity to the beach, and we loved being able to walk right out and soak it all in.The property itself was clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Beautiful condo with perfect location!

We loved staying at this condo for 10 nights! It has everything you need and the air conditioning works very well, as do the washer/dryer. The kitchen is fully equipped and updated. There are two boogie boards and snorkling gear that you can use as well as a cooler for any Road to Hana or Haleakala journey you might be taking. The condo is located in a nice area and is convenient to shopping and restaurants. I loved that I could lay in the sun on the grassy area and not get full of sand while I watched my kids play. The views from the balcony are PERFECT. They are several grills by the pool and we did use them. Papakea is a very well maintained property with many activities, including tennis. We loved eating on the patio. Kapalua Bay and Napili Bay are nearby and are great snorkling spots. We are so grateful we got to stay here and experience Maui to its fullest! We loved it. Thank you again!
