Papakea is an oceanfront resort offering direct beach access at the south end of the property—perfectly situated on Maui’s sunny West Side in Honokōwai, just minutes from Ka’anapali. The condo is located in building C.

I'm Sue, and I would love to welcome you to our studio condo at Papakea. I have many years of property management experience. I have also enlisted my son's good friend, Ryan, to help me host. He has hundreds of top reviews and years of experience living and working in Maui. Together, we are always available to help our guests experience the best Maui has to offer.

The floor-to-ceiling windows facing the lanai open to garden views nestled beside a fish pond and sprinkling waterfall. The luxurious king bed, warm wood accents, and classic Asian island-inspired decor create a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere that will instantly put you at ease.

The gorgeous oceanfront paradise of Papakea expands over 13 acres of fish-filled lagoons, quaint bridges, beautiful lawns, and colorful tropical landscaping at the edge of North Kaanapali Beach and Honokōwai. Each evening, Tiki torches light up the property for an exquisite Hawaiian tropical ambiance. There is direct access to a sandy beach at the South end of the property, about a 5-minute walk from the condo. Enjoy swimming, snorkeling, turtle spotting, boogie boarding, paddle boarding, and whale watching (during whale season) as well as incredible sunsets. Please note, beach sand levels can vary depending on the season and weather conditions.

**Check-in/out**
The condo is self-check-in. I usually send detailed instructions one week before your arrival date. The door uses a personalized electronic key code. Check-in is anytime after 4 pm and check-out is anytime before 10 am. You must stop by the front desk to pick up a parking pass. They will also swipe a credit card for a $50 fully refundable deposit in the event of incidentals.

**LAHAINA FIRE**
The condo is in a beautiful area north of the fire, and all restaurants, buildings, and beaches were undamaged. This is also the case for the surrounding neighborhoods. All of my favorite beaches were untouched, and there are tons of great restaurants in Ka'anapali, Honokōwai, Kahana, Napili, and Kapalua, just minutes from the condo. The road to Hana and my favorite hikes are still open and will likely be less crowded than they used to be.

**MAJOR USA HOLIDAYS**
Reservations checking in/out ON THE DAY OF: Thanksgiving Day (November), Christmas Day (12/25), New Year's Day (01/01), Easter, and July 4th will be subject to an additional $200 cleaning surcharge to provide my housekeeper holiday pay. If you check in/out the day before or after, there is no surcharge.

Your visit can make such a positive impact on the island. Your presence helps to employ residents in tourism and helps to sustain local businesses. Over 80% of Maui's industry is driven by tourism, more than any other island in Hawaii. Mahalo, Sue and Ryan

Everything was fantastic!! The view could not be beat. Very clean - we will totally recommend this place to friends!

A great property in a great location. Excellent snorkelling within a 10 minute walk. (The third beach entrance after Dukes restaurant. Slow drift down to Airport beach)
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2023
We really enjoyed this home. The grounds of the resort are Really Beautiful, and the sunsets were magnificent! The interior of the unit was very comfortable and the furniture, being heavy and massive, was very impressive. Since so many of the restaurants on the island were closed, we found the location great because just down the street there were several restaurants, Java jazz included, that had good food and great people. This was especially handy since so many of the shops and restaurants in Lahaina where either closed or gone. We didn't realize, when booked your home, that it was located about a mile away from a resort/hotel that we use to come to several years ago. It has been sort of like coming home, which was great. The area has changed a lot in the past 10 years, but a lot of the things were familiar. The host (Sue) was very helpful providing information related to thigs to do and places to see and eat. Since we were arriving at 9:00 am, Sue check to see if the unit was ready before 3:00PM, which it was, so she arranged for us to get into the unit early – which was very helpful. We where not sure what we would do for 6 hrs. with a car full of luggage! We will seriously consider this unit the next time we are in Maui.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2023
We truly appreciated all that Sue and her people did to make our visit a comfortable and enjoyable one. We felt welcomed from the very start by all the valuable information that was provided prior to our arrival. And the room was stocked with everything that we could possibly require that would make us feel at home and cared for. Otherwise, the area was wonderful with plenty of things to do right outside our door. We loved every minute!
