Wake up to the whales!

We loved our stay! What a treat it was to open the shades each morning to an unobstructed view of the ocean. It truly is breathtaking. We also saw multiple whale breaches while sitting on the patio drinking our coffee. The Papakea property is lovely and has everything you need: a pool, hot tub and outdoor grill access. We will absolutely be back! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great location!

We really had a great time and loved the condo. The view was amazing. It was so nice to have our coffee ocean front every morning. My husband said the snorkeling right out back was so good, he don’t need to book a snorkeling tour! The property is beautiful and well maintained. There are many things to do and places to go, all within walking distance. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub too.

Highly recommend!

We fell in love with the location. Right in the sea wall and spent most of our afternoons laying out. We were able to spot turtles and whales from the patio (even walked out and snorkeled with the turtles right there with host provided snorkel gear!). It’s not a crowded facility, mostly retirees and a few families. We made great use of the kitchen as well as the resort provided grills. Would definitely consider rebooking if/when back on Maui.

Location, location

This condo is located on the ocean front, convenient to both swimming pool areas, and on the ground floor so you can walk directly out to the seawall. Condo was well equipped and vacation comfortable. We had to reset the Wi-fi router a few times and we had trouble with the TV, but we didn’t make any attempt to seek help with the television, so it is not a negative reflection on the condo. The rebuild in nearby Lahaina is both heartbreaking and inspiring. West Maui is vibrant and there are plenty of dining, shopping, and opportunities for guided excursions in the area. We highly recommend this condo and will stay here again on our next trip to Maui.

Papakea is an amazing property, is our third time staying there and have never left disappointed. Our washing machine did not work in our unit and repair men couldn’t get to it while we were there, but a little hand washing and it didn’t really affect anything. The unit was great, the amenities were on point. We absolutely love Papakea and will definitely return again.

About the host

Hosted by Beverly Herrington

I live in Sydney, Australia and have since 2002. It's very beautiful here just like Maui. The lure of Maui came when I was a young boy where we travelled to West Maui every year for two weeks for approximately 10 years of my life growing up. I loved the sun, water, and the natural beauty of the island. It was always a dream of mine to own a place in Maui with such fond memories. In 2016 I was fortunate enough to be in a position to buy my oceanfront condo F109 at the Papakea Resort. I chose this location because it's a ground floor unit with excellent views. You can walk out onto the manicured lawn or walk a short distance to the pool, jacuzzi, and BBQ's without having to use the elevator or hike down stairs. Currently, I work for a large software company in Sydney so it is a very nice 'central' meeting point in Maui when the family wants to get together without everyone having to fly 13 hours.

I hope you enjoy the peace and beauty of Maui as much as I do. It's my own little paradise.

Why they chose this property

This ground floor, oceanfront condo offers absolutely spectacular views of the ocean which is 50 feet from your lanai. You can watch whales while enjoying the views from your living room. You have the best of both worlds--the convenience of staying on the ground floor and having the best possible ocean views.

What makes this property unique

Papakea Resort offers 2 very large swimming pools and hot tubs as well as 12 gas barbecues. Papakea Resort offers 2 very large swimming pools and hot tubs as well as 12 gas barbecues.

The koi ponds are beautiful as well as the lush tropical foliage. There is complimentary WiFi in the condo. The koi ponds are beautiful as well as the lush tropical foliage.
