About this property

Oceanfront Condo - See Whales in Season Right From the Balcony!

****Effective 11/1/2021: the county of Maui has added an additional 3% Hotel Tax that will be added to the booking****

Note: The owners of this unit own another condo on the same floor, L-202, so they can be booked together for larger groups and families.

Welcome to Papakea! Located between the Kaanapali and Kapalua world-class golf resorts and minutes from beaches, shops, and restaurants, Papakea is a 13 acre oceanfront resort with the true aloha feeling of Maui.

There are two private pools, two Jacuzzi's, direct beachfront access, a cabana, three lighted tennis courts, two shuffleboard courts, two 18-hole putting greens, Koi ponds, lush gardens, and 12 outdoor barbecues. The resort also has an Activity Desk. For the sports enthusiast, the golf courses of Kapalua and Kaanapali are nearby and so are beaches great for snorkeling and boogie-boarding. Alternatively, take your time walking the miles of soft sand beaches.

Our condo is fully remodeled and re-furnished with granite counters.

Our second floor 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo is directly oceanfront with its own private lanai in the sought-after 'L' Building. Nothing but blue sky and ocean! One of the rare 2bd/2ba units where the Master Bedroom faces the ocean. The unit is air-conditioned and also has ceiling fans in all the bedrooms. We offer free wireless Internet access. Sip a cocktail on the lanai and enjoy the beautiful views of the neighboring islands of Lanai and Molokai. Parking is close to the building, and both elevator and stairs are located close-by.

The living area has ample seating, as well as satellite TV, VCR/DVD player, and a stereo with CD player. There is a table with seating for four on the private lanai. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, cooking utensils, dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, microwave, and coffee maker. The unit also has its own washer and dryer.

As renters ourselves for years, we have tried to think of everything possible from our experiences to make your stay comfortable. The oceanfront Master Bedroom has a king size bed and plenty of dresser and closet space. It has a full ocean view and the bathroom has a shower/tub and separate vanity area.

The second bedroom also has a king sized bed and plenty of closet space. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and separate vanity area.

There is a queen sized pull-out sofa in the living room for extra guests. All linens including beach towels are provided. We also have beach chairs and an ice chest that can be taken to neighboring sandy beaches. Papakea has a sea wall and grass lounging area next to the ocean. There are many sandy beaches within walking and short driving distances.

We are required by the State of Hawaii to post our Department of Taxation Registration number, which is W50156142-01 and our on-island contact is Maui Rentals and Realty, LLC, 1087 Limahana Pl., Lahaina. Please do not contact them for booking.

Make your getaway to Maui a special one, and enjoy the aloha spirit at Papakea!

****note: this property is located at Papakea Resort which assesses a daily resort fee of $25.00 that is payable upon check-in and is not collected by the owners****

Love this condo!

This is our 3rd time staying here and we love it. The ocean view is awesome and we saw whales every day. Great location (walking distance to a grocery store and restaurants). The grounds at the Papakea Resort (where the condo is located) are very well kept.

A perfect week with the whales

Perfect location for whale watching in January. One morning while we were having breakfast on the lanai we saw one slap its tail 21 times. The apartment is just as advertised. Everything was easy.

We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could ask for. The extras in the closet for the beach were awesome. The view from condo was absolutely breathtaking and the location of the property was convenient to everything which came in handy since we did a lot of exploring all over the island. We had a great vacation and would recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Melenie

Host profile image
Dana and Robin
We are from Oklahoma and absolutely love coming to the Papakea in Maui. You will too.

Why they chose this property

We have traveled the world, including every continent except Antarctica, and our favorite place in the whole world is the ocean-front at Papakea. So we bought a condo there.

What makes this property unique

We love getting up in the morning, making a cup of coffee, and sitting on our Lanai. We just read or gaze out over the blue waters and the full views of Molokai and Lanai and enjoy the ocean breeze and the sounds of the surf some 60 feet from us. We come every February, so the whales are here. They put on a show for us every day while we drink our coffee. The place has everything we need, pools, and tennis. We like making our own breakfast and lunch, and then we go out to dinner every night. There are tons of great restaurants just a short drive from the place. Nobody comes to bother you unless you ask them to.
