About this property

Oceanfront Condo - See Whales From Balcony! Construction Discounts Thru Aug 2027

  • ** NOTICE** There will be ongoing work to repair the seawall at the whole condo complex until August of 2027. All work done between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm weekdays. No weekends or holidays. For this reason, we are offering discounts. Please message us on this platform to see what we can do for you.

    **Between now and April, 2027, the work will be at the other end of the complex from our unit, and the only effect will be the "occasional movement of equipment between condo and water" (according to management). You may be able to hear the equipment working on the other end, if you're outside, but it will be minimal compared to the sound of the crashing waves.
    **April through July, 2027, the work will be ongoing on the seawall directly in front of our condo. It will be noisy during the day. Will not affect sleeping hours.

    Below is the usual presentation when no construction is going on.

    You will want to sit on the balcony (or lanai, as it is called in Maui) and stare at the ocean and the islands of Lanai and Molokai all day long. It is shaded until the late afternoon, making it very hard to get up for anything other than another coffee or another mai tai. The smell of the ocean and the sound of the surf are addictive. We (the owners) make ourselves take a walk every morning but come back and sit on the lanai a while longer when we are done.

    The property is family owned and we want families to feel at home in our home. Therefore, we equip it the way we would want to find a property to be equipped if we rented it. We have been coming to Maui yearly for 30 years have and have owned this property since 2010. We love the place and know you will too.

    We love to sleep with the windows open because we love the sound of the ocean. It is nature's own sleep sound machine. It is much louder in the master bedroom, because it is right on the ocean. The guest bedroom is on the back side of the condo, so the sound of the ocean is much diminished. If you do not want to sleep with the sound of the ocean in the master, you might not want to rent our place.

    The mini split air conditioner sits on one end of the lanai. It does make some noise and blow a little warm air. We hardly ever turn it on, so it's not a problem for us. If it is hot outside and the AC is on, it may annoy some folks a little if they are sitting next to the unit. We don't have another option for placement of the unit. But hey, if you're in Maui and you let the AC unit annoy you... that's on you, lol.

    We own a second 2-bedroom condo on the same floor, VRBO number 624479, which can be booked together for larger groups and families.

    The Papakea Oceanfront Resort is located between the Kaanapali and Kapalua world-class golf resorts, and just minutes from beaches, shops, and restaurants, Papakea is a 13-acre oceanfront resort that embodies the true aloha spirit of Maui.

    There are two private pools, two Jacuzzis, 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 sandy beaches or the boardwalk that runs for several miles beginning just to the south of the Papakea.

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

    Our second-floor, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo is directly oceanfront with a private lanai in the sought-after 'L' Building. Nothing but blue sky and ocean! One of the rare 2-bedroom/2-bathroom 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 conveniently located near the building, and both the elevator and stairs are nearby.

    The living area features ample seating, as well as satellite TV, a VCR/DVD player, and a stereo with a 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 drawn on our experiences to think of everything possible to make your stay comfortable. The oceanfront master bedroom features a king-size bed and ample dresser and closet space. It offers a full ocean view, and the bathroom features a shower/tub combination and a separate vanity area.

    The second bedroom also features a king-sized bed and ample closet space. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and a 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 a grassy lounging area overlooking the ocean. There are many sandy beaches within walking and short driving distances.

    The State of Hawaii requires us to post our Department of Taxation Registration number, which is W50156142-01. Our on-island contact is Maui Rentals and Realty, LLC, located at 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!

Peaceful Getaway

Our family getaway was just what we needed. Serene views and slow days. We really appreciated all of the beach things, especially the snorkeling gear.

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.

Great Accomodations

Right on the waterfront. Could hear the waves from everyone in the condo. Spacious and clean. Plenty of beach activity equipment for use in the condo. Parking was easy. Overall great stay Only disappointment was no real beach or snorkeling on the premises. Water was too rough for kids in this location.

Great place to stay

This condo was so great for our family. It had enough space, a very well stocked kitchen (always nice to not have to buy coffee filters for example). It was very clean. The best parts of it IMO are: This is ocean front - not beach front - the views are spectacular and sitting on the balcony at sunset, sunrise, just watching the whales - it was amazing. I will say the ocean is LOUD - maybe the only downside is you will 100% hear it in the master bedroom at night even if you close the windows - it takes some getting used to just how loud it is. So if you are a light sleeper maybe bring ear plugs. Secondly, the grounds and amenities were great. Third, there were so many things we could walk to that made the trip easy - the food trucks (we would often just get food for dinner there and then eat on the balcony watching the sunset, slappy cakes, a grocery store, etc. We loved staying here as did our kids. It was just all very easy. Thank you for the great stay!

Loved the view but not the condo

We were not excited about the kitchen pests or the smell in the kitchen when we first got there. We cleaned the counters and by the next day, the odd smell was gone. The pests were a recurrent thing. I think it’s to be expected in Hawaii. We ended up keeping our dry goods stored in the oven and microwave for piece of mind. The other issue was the loud noise in the master bedroom from the slatted windows. I read the reviews from previous vacationers so I knew there would be noise from the waves. Just didn’t expect it to be as loud as a freight train. It might not be as bad in summer or on less windy/rainy nights. The condo itself was a great location. The furniture was comfortable. And that view. Breathtaking every morning! We saw so many whales. I could have sat on the lanai all day whale watching. Can’t rave enough about the view. If your priority is whale watching, this is the condo for you. If you prefer a good nights rest or are a sensitive sleeper, you might think twice.

The place was great and right on the ocean. We were here in February and saw whales every day from the lanai. The host was helpful and responded very quickly. No issues at all. Hope to come back again!!!

Papakea offers a nice family atmosphere, daily activities, and close to shopping and restaurants. Our unit was clean, spacious, well appointed. We spent many hours watching whales and turtles off the lanai… dreamy. Robin (property owner) was awesome, responding to a last minute request for an additional night! Thank you so much!
