About this property

2 Bedroom Groundfloor Oceanview - Steps to the Pool and Ocean

FABULOUS LOCATION - Just 50 steps to the pool, the hot tub and the BBQ’s and a few more steps to the ocean-front lounge chairs. Grab a cool drink and head out to watch the sun set between Molokai and Lanai. Bring your binoculars for excellent whale watching December to May or use the ones we supply in the condo.
CONVENIENT - Papakea Resort enjoys an outstanding Maui site and our unit is one of the very best locations within the complex. While some people may initially prefer a higher unit hoping for a view, our ground floor unit offers several advantages; the convenience of not climbing stairs or waiting for an elevator several times a day, the ability to go out your lanai door directly to the pool and ocean instead of a trip around the back of the building. The ease of access to the BBQ’s means your food stays hot on the way back to your lanai. Once people try our unit, they seldom go back to a balcony property.

TOP QUALITY - Units in Papakea vary widely in condition. They range from some units that haven’t been updated since the 80’s, to ours which was totally renovated using top quality materials and fixtures. It's frequently mentioned by repeat guest that ours is one of the very best.
• Tile floors throughout for a cool, clean, easy-care environment.
• Cabinets in kitchen and bathrooms of African mahogany accented with exotic Jarra wood. Granite counter tops complete the executive look and feeling of quality.
• This is our vacation home so the kitchen is fully equipped with all the cutlery, gadgets and tools you need.
• Entertainment center features a large flat screen Smart-TV, streaming video for your NetFlix, YouTube or similar account. Each bedroom also has a TV. All enjoy Spectrum Cable TV services.
• Master suite features a king bed, large vanity with double sinks, a large tiled shower with double shower heads and a “washlet” style toilet popular in upper-class Japanese households.
• Latest technology zone air conditioning. This allows each bedroom and the living room/kitchen to be cooled independently. This not only saves on the environment by allowing less use of the A/C but ensures you can quickly cool your sleeping area for a good night’s rest.
• Second bedroom features a queen bed plus a twin bed. Washroom has a tiled shower and vessel style sink.
• Free wireless internet access throughout the resort.
• All linens including large beach towels are provided.
This is our vacation home, so appliances, kitchenware and amenities are being constantly replaced or upgraded to ensure everyone, renters and owners, enjoy their vacation.

SPECIAL TEMPORARY NOTE - Our unit was completely retiled in late 2025 and we have not updated pictures (coming soon) but the condo appears nearly substantially the same as current photos.


PEACEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL - Papakea is a quiet, well-maintained, family friendly resort that offers the peaceful beauty and an oceanfront location that is the reason people come to Hawaii. Major food store, restaurants and most of the services you want on holidays are within walking distance. After the tragic fire, Lahaina town (10 minutes away) is still in early stages of development (as of 2026). A 5 minute drive takes you to the shops and restaurants of Whalers Village or you can make that your daily walk along Ka'anapali Beach.

NO RESORT FEE: As of July 2025 Papakea Resort has dropped the Facilities Fee that used to add $25/day to your vacation costs. Many other resorts continue with fees at this rate and higher. Parking is often an extra cost at other resorts so compare costs carefully if you are considering any other property for your holiday.

ACTIVITIES - Lots to do in and around Papakea. The resort features lighted tennis and pickleball courts for guest use, a large well maintained putting green in the central park area right outside your door and various pool and exercise activities such as yoga and fitness instruction in the pool area.

We loved being on the first level with quick access to pool and beach. We were walking distance to multiply restaurants, grocery store, food trucks, and rental places. Cleanliness could be improved. We found 2 roaches, one in bathroom and one in living room upon arrival. Not enough towels for pool/beach or showering. Slightly unpleasant staff on grounds.

First visit to Maui

This was our first visit to Maui and we are so happy we went with this condo. This property is in a great location; within walking distance of many food options including a food truck lot, restaurants, grocery store, and ABC store. The property is family friendly with a pool, hot tub, yard shuffle board, and short walkway to beach access.The property felt very safe and secure. Having a washer and dryer to do a few loads of laundry during our trip was so convenient. Property also has bbqs.

Great condo and property

What an amazing trip to Maui! Our home base was our condo in the Papakea condo complex. We had a lower level condo w/ ocean views. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and stocked with anything you might need, including curling irons. LOL! The kitchen was also fully stocked with all the appliances for cooking/grilling. Never thought I would care to have a washer/dryer for clothes, but what a great convenience it ended up being. Wifi was strong and easy to access. The pool was a few steps from our lanai. Same with the beach. The location of this condo was an easy walk to an ABC store, food trucks, grocery stores, and coffee in the morning. We will be coming back and requesting this exact condo.

Nice Unit at a Good Location

Stayed here for a week with our family of 5. The unit was very comfortable and felt like a second home. The ground floor access was convenient since the pool and ocean were only steps away without needing to take an elevator. The grounds were very well maintained and orderly. We will likely look for the same unit if we return to Maui again. One discrepancy was that the listed resort fee in the description was actually $25/day instead of $17/day.

Great location and nice room

Everything was awesome except for the AC did not work well at all. The room was hotter than outside. I would have given it 5 stars if the AC was cold as Maui was in the high 80s and low 90s when we vacationed.

Great Stay

We had a wonderful stay. The property was clean and comfortable. There was snorkel gear and beach chairs, which was super helpful. Loved the location. Walking distance to stores. The only downside to the property was that although the ocean was a couple hundred yards away from the condo, the beach was non-existent. In order to get good beach access, we needed to walk to the adjacent property. It wasn't horrible, but I little bit of a bummer.

Happy 20th Anniversary

My husband and I and our best friends both celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary this month in Maui. We have stayed at the Papakea in other units before but this is the NICEST one! Love the kitchen cabinets and bathroom tile! Nicely kept, very clean and well-stocked for fun! Plenty of boogie boards and many cooler choices! We appreciate that there was a small stock of spices and a few basics in the kitchen. We did a lot of our cooking each day in the condo after our Costco stop. If you are looking for a nice condo... this is it!

Cozy Condo

This was a nice ground level condo, plenty of room for a family of 4. The grounds were well kept and quite. The condo itself was well equipped with everything we needed, however I would recommend an upgrade on the pots and pans. The condo is located near a elevator which was hard for the light sleeper (me), however I guess if your close the shutters the noise may not be as noticeable, but we enjoyed the breeze over using the AC. All of our issues we had with the condo was taken care of quickly, management was very attentive. Beautiful ocean view at the sea wall and enjoyed eating breakfast on the lanai.

Couldn't have had a better experience!

Everything about our stay in this unit was excellent, from start to finish. It was exactly as described with plenty of space for our family of 5. One of the best features was the fully-stocked kitchen, which made it feel like home. We also appreciated the beach chairs, pool noodles and boogie boards. Looked like there was quite a bit of snorkel gear as well, though we rented ours from a local shop. We stayed over Christmas and I was pleasantly surprised that there was a box of nice decorations and lights that we were able to put up to make it feel more festive. Communication and care from Don was outstanding. The only negative thing that we experienced was the noise from people getting out of the elevator early every morning (It sounded like they were standing over your bed talking, lol). Nothing anyone can do about that though!Honestly, this is just the best unit and Papakea itself was amazing too. Don't hesitate to book, you won't regret it. In fact, we hope to go back some day!!

Mixed Emotions

Arrival and check-in was a breeze. Property is beautiful, and the condo itself is great, just as described! Unfortunately, we lost power and all communications due to the wildfires in Lahaina and surrounding area. The property staff did the best they could under the circumstances, and we are forever grateful for them. Thank you to the Host for communicating with us during this difficult stay, and offering his services to make us as comfortable as possible. We were fortunate to get out of the area after just a few days there, but our hearts and prayers are with Maui and it's people. We don't know if/when we will be able to come back to Maui, but if/when we do, I will definitely consider staying here again, hoping for a better overall experience. Mahalo!!

About the host

Hosted by Don Gibson

Host profile image
We are a group of people that love travel and have joined together to share vacation property around the world. We take pride in keeping our vacation homes comfortable and well equipped, not only for our personal use but our friends, family and renting guests.

Why they chose this property

The low-rise buildings and lush, well maintained gardens of Papakea attracted us immediately. Only after staying here did we realize how convenient the location is to Lahaina, golf and restaurants. On vacation we appreciate the quiet, relaxing and secure ambience of Papakea and as owners we appreciate how well the property is looked after by everyone.

What makes this property unique

At first we were looking for a high balcony location for the view, but after staying in the groundfloor unit we loved the convenience and quick access to all facilities. We like to travel with friends so the two bathrooms mean each couple has privacy and convenience. Papakea is so peaceful and relaxing, but lots of activities and excitement to be found around Maui.
