The sleeping arrangements are a california king in the master, a queen in the 2nd bedroom, 2 bunkbeds upstairs in
the loft with doubles on the bottom and twins on top and 2 air mattresses if needed.
Please note: the 3rd bedroom is actually a large loft. Why
do we market it as a 3 bedroom? Because it is more like a 3
bedroom than a 2 bedroom and this is what most of our competitors
do.
We completely remodeled the condo in March-June 2020. There is an entirely new kitchen, all new appliances, all new flooring, new paint, new beds and mattresses, new vanities. Pretty much everything was replaced except the tubs and toilets (and those will probably be replace in the next year or 2).
Air conditioning in every room, lanai/deck, 3 TV's, linens, towels, beach towels, full kitchen (including:
dishwasher, toaster, coffee pot, blender, full size refrigerator
with freezer, utensils, pots/pans and dishes), washer and
dryer and free wifi.
See the Papakea section for
all resort amenities such as pool, parking, BBQ, tennis and
etc.

FAQ's
Is there an ocean view? Yes, our condo has a clear ocean view. It has an ocean view from the lanai (porch) and living room. One of our favorite activities is watching the whales from our lanai with a mai tai in hand.
How far is it from the ocean/beach? Our lanai is 95 yards from the ocean. It is very close to the water compared to most resorts in Maui! See the photo
labeled papakea condo layout to see exactly where our condo is.
Is our availability calendar up to date and accurate? Yes, it is up to date.
What are the sleeping arrangements? There is a california king in the master, a queen in the 2nd bedroom, 2 bunkbeds upstairs in the loft with doubles on the bottom and twins on top and 2 air mattresses if needed. One of our teenage kids likes sleeping on the lounge chair on the lanai. That adds up to 12 (2 master, 2 2nd bed, 6 bunk beds, 1 on lanai, 1 (or 2) on air mattress(es)), which we don't care if you have that many people there but we advertise sleeps 10 because we feel like it it starts getting too crowded with more than 10. But different folks have different preferences when it comes to this.
Are there any extra fees? We charge a $250 cleaning fee which will be included in your initial invoice. We also charge the Hawaii tax of 13.42%. When you check in the front desk will charge you $17/day resort fee. This covers parking for one car. A second car would be $5 extra per day. To hold your reservation we need a deposit that is at least equal to 3 night, this will be applied to your total payment due. It isn't really a deposit as it is a down payment.
How many people can the condo seat for dinner? Our condo can seat 21 people! Dining room table(6), kitchen bar(4), lanai table(6), lanai couch(2) and living room couch(3); but we admit that is a bit tight.
Is there internet access? Yes, we have great wireless high speed wifi that you are free to use.
Are there restaurants nearby? Yes, there are 11 within 1/2 mile and well over 100 within 5 miles.
Is there a grocery store nearby? Yes, there is a full size grocery store right across the street and is very walkable. There is also a ABC store (like a 7-11) even closer; adjoining our parking lot.
Is there shopping nearby? There is a decent size strip mall within walking distance, right across the road. But the real shopping is in Lahaina about 4 miles away or at Whalers Village which is less than 2 miles away.
Is there free parking? Your $17/day resort fee covers parking for one car. If you bring a 2nd car the front desk usually charges you $5/day extra, usually ;)
Is the snorkeling good right in front of Papakea? Yes, there is a reef which protects swimmers and snorkelers. There is quite a few fish and even turtles! We will give you some good tips of places to go with your checkin
instructions.
Are there good waves for boogie boarding or surfing? If you want waves to boogie board, they are a couple hundred yards away, to the North or South. Waves vary by season, generally the waves are big on the North side of the
islands in the winter, and big on South side in the summer. We are on the West side, so it depends greatly on the direction of any current swells. Ask at a local surf shop or google it or see
Surfline - rainbows or Maui upper west side or Kaanapali
Should I bring towels or sheets? Linens, towels and beach towels are included. We try to have some beach towels for guests use, but you may want to bring some of your own or buy some while there because they frequently get
left on the beach and we have trouble keeping up with them dissapearing, but we try.
May we have a crib for our baby? We have a porta a crib and mini stroller and some sand toys. Other things like crutches, wheelchairs and etc can be provided at an additional charge from Wild Wheel Rentals at 800-339-4743
or Babies Away at 808-875-9030.

Papakea Resort
Nestled on the ocean's edge, near Kaanapali Beach and Lahaina lies Papakea Resort. This is a 13-acre haven of tranquil freshwater lagoons and bridges, expansive lawns and
colorful tropical landscaping. Papakea is an ocean front
resort located near great beaches, restaurants and shopping. Guests can enjoy meals on the lanai overlooking Papakea's garden paths aglow with amber tiki torches.
It is right in between Kaanapali and Kapalua golf courses (less than 2 miles from each)
Papakea is a comfortable, friendly, unforgettable guest condo resort with a thoroughly Hawaiian atmosphere. Friendly to families, retirees, honeymooners and everything in between.
The ambience at Papakea is perfect. It is great for all type vacationers.
It is quiet enough to relax and get away. Papakea is only 4 stories tall and spread out over 13 acres. Whereas many of the high rise hotels and condos get
crowded and crazy busy.
Yet there is enough action around with the pool, putting greens, snorkeling and shuffle boards to keep you from getting bored
The lawn goes right up to the ocean. So grab a book and sit in a chair, and relax listening to the waves.
I can't tell you how many positive comments we have heard about Papakea and it great ambiance.
Resort Amenities
There are 10 Weber gas barbeques available to guests. This can be a great way to save some money (and get the guys to cook a meal :) The bbq's are cleaned daily and kept in great shape.
Enjoy practice putting on the well maintained putting greens. They are very close - just right outside your door.
Relax by one of the 2 pools or 2 jacuzzi's.
There are 3 free lighted tennis courts in great shape. One is also setup for pickelball.
Relax and lose a few pounds by sitting in one of the 2 saunas.
