About this property
Gorgeous Oceanfront Year-Round Sunset Views from Lanai and Master Bedroom!
This spectacular third floor direct oceanfront unit features breathtaking views of the islands of Lanai and Molokai from your lanai, living room, kitchen and master bedroom. Our two-bedroom condo, in the highly desirable Papakea 'L' Building, is just steps from the water's edge and world-famous Kaanapali Beach. You can walk for miles or snorkel with the turtles and fish. Two pools and two spas are on site if you wish to do nothing at all, or relax in the new split AC system with individually-controlled bedroom cooling units.
Enjoy beautiful sunsets each night as you dine on your private lanai. Look for the green flash! Watch for stars and planets you often don't see on the mainland and the distant evening lights on Molokai. When you don't want to cook in the airy remodeled kitchen, grill on Papakea's gas grill collection, you can get takeout from nearby food trucks or take a very short drive to Kaanapali, Kapalua, or Napili and enjoy world-class seafood.
Winter is the season for whale and dolphin watching. You can easily see them from our third floor vantage point. Bring your binoculars and camera.
Well-maintained and previously featured on the Homeowners Tour of premium condos, the condo sleeps four with a luxury king-size bed in the master and a queen-size in the second bedroom. When you want nothing but fresh sea air, the Maui tradewinds filter through the condo. Otherwise, the unit is air-conditioned throughout with two LG Smart TV's, one in master, one in living / dining room. There is a hair dryer in each bath and free wi-fi. An elevator is nearby for easy access. All rooms are on the same level.
Papakea (crest of the wave) Resort is a tropical oasis on 13 acres of gorgeous landscaping, with koi ponds, two oceanfront pools, hot tubs, and putting greens, three lighted tennis courts, shuffleboard and 12 gas barbecues. Low density development assures you that it's not crowded. It's set back from the road, so you hear no traffic, only the crashing surf. It is minutes away from shops, museums, restaurants and galleries in nearby Whalers Village. Or, walk to the food trucks, supermarket, deli, restaurants, or shops across the street. This will be your vacation of a lifetime! Book now for best availability!
Note: Papakea Resort charges its own separate resort fee of $25/night which is collected separately at checkout. Parking for one vehicle is included; additional vehicle parking is $5/night.
Papakea Resort is upgrading interior plumbing in all condos through mid 2026.

This unit offered an amazing view and had everything we needed for our week stay. The primary bedroom had a great view of the water. The complex is beautifully maintained and an excellent location.
Beautifully decorated and well appointed unit. Everything for the beach and the kitchen you could need. Checking-in at the desk was easy and friendly. The host is incredible responsive and accommodating. Would love to stay here again. Probably for 10 days :)
We have been staying at the Papakea Resort for the past 29 years and and have stayed in this unit multiple times when available for our dates.
The unit is steps from the water and has all amenities you need. The owners are awesome and you will not be disappointed!
The condo was very spacious and made us all feel at home. We had an amazing time whale watching from the balcony. The papakea property is very clean and well kept by the complex. We would stay here again 10/10! The property owners were very communicative!
The condo was in a great resort (awesome location, not too busy, awesome staff), incredibly clean, and you can’t beat the views. Lisa and Ben were very communicative, especially appreciated since we came a few months after the awful fire in Lāhainā.
My son (6) loved the resort pool, the view of the ocean, and the beach toys the condo has.
Can’t recommend this rental enough!
We absolutely loved our stay at Ben and Lisa's condo. We frequently stay at Papakea and this was one of my favorite units. It was clean, comfortable, well stocked, and we loved spending time enjoying the incredible view. Communication leading up to our stay was great, and we were so appreciative of an early check-in on arrival day. Thank you so much Ben and Lisa for sharing your home with us, it was paradise!
We have stayed at the Papakea for the past 20 years and always in the L building. The condo has everything you would need plus more. It is nicely furnished and very accommodating.
The AC is a big plus but if you want to enjoy the sounds of the ocean from the condo, Just prop open the front door and open the patio slider and a great breeze will keep you cool.
Maui is our favorite island and I am sure it will be yours too. We will definitely stay here again.
This was our second visit, and we had another wonderful stay. The air conditioning updates made the condo more comfortable temperature wise this time around. We utilized some of the beach gear they provided (boogie board) which made snorkeling with a 5 year old much easier! We will be back again! The view from the balcony never gets old!
My wife, myself, and our friends are Papakea junkies, having stayed there many times; So when we saw this property available, we immediately booked it. Not only was it ocean front, but it was during our favorite time of year- whale season! We enjoyed many mornings on the lanai, watching the whales breaching, and this time, also saw spinner dolphins and a few sea turtles- all from the comfort of our lanai! The booking process was very easy thanks to Ben and Lisa- prompt, clear communication on what to expect on arrival, as well as during our stay. I can't thank them enough for allowing us to borrow this amazing location. You know it's a great spot when you are making plans to return even before your vacation is over!

We just got back from the most wonderful vacation staying at the Papakea. The hosts are outstanding, and made the details leading up to, and during our stay, very easy to relax and have an amazing time. The views are incredible and the unit is stocked with everything you need. The Papakea is a very special place, and so is this outstanding condo. Thank you for providing such a wonderful home!! We will definitely be back!
We had a great experience! The hosts were super communicative and very detail-oriented. The condo was gorgeous - the ocean front views were incredible. Highly recommend. Would definitely stay here again!
The view was simply outstanding. You can’t get anything better no matter where you would stay. The owners were very responsive with any questions we had and the check in process was simple.
