Private Ocean Front Estate on Turtle Cove, Napili. Spectacular views & location! | Villa in Lahaina
5 Bedroom Villa in Napili, Lahaina
PAPAUA PARADISE — MAUI'S MOST EXTRAORDINARY OCEANFRONT RETREAT
Poised at the tip of a coveted oceanfront point in Napili, this extraordinary 3,900sf Polynesian-inspired pole home offers rare, direct ocean access and more than 100 feet of dramatic Pacific frontage. Located within an intimate, gated enclave on Papaua Place—home to just ten residences—this property enjoys exceptional privacy.
From your private oceanfront deck, watch surfers carve waves over the tide pools below, spot humpback whales breaching in the Maui Channel during season, and end each evening with sunsets so vivid they feel personal. This is not just a vacation rental — it is a living postcard of the real Hawaii.
Designed by renowned architect Frank Stiller and originally built in 1981 for noted Maui restaurateur Rob Thibaut (Duke's, Kimo's, Jake's, Leilani's, Hula Grill), the residence is a celebration of authentic island craftsmanship, featuring rich Hawaiian koa wood, lava rock accents, and a timeless connection to its natural surroundings.
A spacious wraparound lanai captures sweeping unobstructed 200+ ocean degree views and year-round sunsets, spanning from Lanai and Molokai to Kapalua. The Pacific Ocean becomes your daily playground, with surfing, snorkeling with sea turtles, swimming, and seasonal whale watching directly offshore.
Conveniently located near world-class golf courses, luxury resorts and spas, acclaimed dining, and the legendary waters of Honolua Bay, this one-of-a-kind oceanfront offering presents an unparalleled Maui lifestyle—where architecture, location, and nature converge seamlessly.
SPACE & COMFORT
Five generous bedrooms, a loft with sofa bed, and four full baths provide ample room for families and groups to gather together and retreat in privacy. Every bedroom features traditional louvered windows that invite the warm Hawaiian trade winds inside. Rare Koa and red eucalyptus wood doors glide smoothly into the walls, dramatically opening the home to the outdoors. Soaring high-beam ceilings, spacious rooms, and natural wood finishes throughout deliver the authentic Polynesian architectural experience few visitors ever find.
Both the primary and a guest bedroom are positioned to enjoy mesmerizing ocean views and the soothing sounds of the sea. Additional features include a game room, sauna, jacuzzi, and an upper-level observation room ideal for whale watching, yoga, or a private study.
The modern, fully stocked kitchen and generous dining area comfortably seat eight to ten guests. A workspace upstairs in the loft offers a large desk and a sweeping water view — perfect for those who need to stay connected while soaking in paradise.
THE WATER IS YOUR BACKYARD
Locals will tell you the snorkeling just steps from your front door is the finest on Maui. You are on Turtle Cove — where green sea turtles glide beneath the surface alongside dazzling varieties of tropical fish. Surf, swim, and snorkel directly from the front yard. You will not find this kind of immediate, effortless ocean access anywhere else on the island.
