Please read this before you book. The following is in reference to the Lahaina fires and 2024 Winter/Spring painting of the exterior of the Konea Building.
Please understand that if you come and stay with me that you will not be taking a room from a displaced family or that you will be taking resources from victims of the fire. Right after the fire, me and the owners I represent placed victims of the fire in our units free of charge. No questions. It gave them a safe place to think and they knew they would need to find a longer term solution. Most have done that. A couple still need some more time and they will have that. I will not kick them out for a paying guest, so if the unit shows available then it’s available because the family in it found a longer term solution.
What to expect:
Keep in mind everything north and south of Lahaina is intact. That said 85% of Lahaina Town is gone. So when you drive in via the Lahaina Bypass you will see some damage. Once you come down and get back on Honoapiilani Highway and go past Safeway (which is open now) you will see what you have seen on TV. It’s bad, but there’s nothing you can do but support those people now.
Depending on when you are coming there may still be displaced families at Honua Kai as the Resort really stepped up more than anyone else in offering temporary housing. The ones that work will be understanding and grateful, and this does not need to be said but we all just need to be respectful of one another.
We hear all the time how much people love Maui, how they leave a little bit of their heart in Maui when the leave, and how Maui allows their family to connect or re-connect. The truth of the matter is that Maui needs you now more than ever to come and support its people, its shops and its restaurants. That said I understand and respect that some people may see it differently, so everyone needs to make their own choice.
PAINTING
The HOA is going ahead with the exterior painting of the Konea Building. The painting has already began on the outer units (not the interior courtyard which is where your unit is located). They are painting the exterior of the building and not the interiors.
The tentative timeframes are:
Konea 707 May/June 2024
Konea 403, 503, and 703 April/May 2024
If they are actively painting your lanai you will not have access to your lanai from 8 am to 4pm Monday thru Friday. Painters don't work weekends or holidays. The lanai furniture has to be wrapped in the plastic covering provided during the work hours. The guest is responsible for replacing the plastic covering on the lanai furniture if they remove it. So, you can use the lanai before and after they paint for the day, just not during.
They will access the exterior of the building and the unit lanai's via a booms and not scaffolding. At the end of the day they lower the booms.
Here are your options: If they will be actively painting during your stay you can cancel for a full refund at any time prior to arrival. If you do not cancel and they are actively painting your unit’s lanai during your stay we will apply a 25% discount to your rate for those days. We will know when they are actively painting because the painting company will have signs on the lanai doors reminding us that they are painting.
As we learned from the painting schedule for the Hokulani building last year, the Konea painting schedule is tentative. It is somewhat of a moving target and tends to be delayed. The rates have not been discounted on the current calendar. If a refund applies then we'd issue that during your stay for the days they are actively painting.
I will do my best trying to keep you updated with information I receive so you can make the most informed decision.
KAI MALINA PROPERTIES WELCOMES YOU BACK TO MAUI WITH A COMPLIMENTARY BOTTLE OF CHILLED CHAMPAGNE UPON ARRIVAL!
All of my 2 bedroom units have pak n plays in them and sand toys. If you plan on using one of the on island rental companies you have to contact me first.
BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE. Aloha, my name is Joe Devane and I am a licensed Real Estate Broker in the State of Hawaii RB-18850 and the owner of Kai Malina Properties, LLC (RB-22032) here in Kaanapali. We are licensed and insured.
I WAS THE DEVELOPER'S REAL ESTATE BROKER AT HONUA KAI FROM 2009 to 2016 when we sold out! I am also a licensed attorney in both Hawaii (Bar No. 8295) and California (Bar No 178241)(voluntary inactive). Disclaimer: Never wire money as a form of payment. If the rate seems to good to be true, it is.
This explanation may help since Honua Kai can be confusing. The construction of the Luana Townhouses is 100% complete, Honua Kai is now 700 individually owned condominiums that belong to a Homeowners Association. Honua Kai is not a hotel. Every owner chooses to either use the onsite management which is now Outrigger or they choose an outside rental company (ORC). Outrigger is not the "Resort" they're just the onsite managment company. Now they own the front desk area and some other areas at Honua Kai, but all guests have access to the pools, restaurant, stores, Spa, fitness center and concierge
Please take a look at our photos and you'll see that they are actual pictures of the unit and upon your arrival you will say that the pictures do not do this place justice. Also, know that this unit has the highly desirable 1315 sq ft floorplan. If you want to make your trip special this is the unit for you.
UPON DEPARTURE YOU LEAVE YOUR KEYS ON THE COUNTER AND GO.
We offer the following:
-With us you rent unit Konea 707, you don't rent a category and find out what you get when you arrive at the front desk. With us you get actual pictures of the unit and the actual view from the unit.
-Free Internet Resort Wide
-No worrying about when the maid service is going to interrupt your day since we don't offer housekeeping.
-We personally see that this unit is cleaned to our high standards.
-Use of swimming pool, exercise room, and concierge service. We also provide beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, paper products and binoculars.
-Charge all resort costs on your credit card.
-Our Aloha Welcome Package which includes coffee K-pods, Chilled Champagne, Hawaiian Chocolates, Tommy Bahama Shampoo and Soaps.
-Either the bellman or I will greet you at the bell desk and escort you to the unit.
-We want you happy and we want you back!
-We are fortunate to Live Aloha everyday and our goal is for our guests to Live Aloha while they are our guests. Whether it's just another trip to Maui or the only trip you'll ever take to Maui, our mission is to make it special.
The bellmen are all real good guys that work hard that are ready to assist you with your luggage up to the unit.
There will be a $5/day charge to valet park(if valet parking allowed), but self-parking is FREE. Only one car per unit is allowed in the underground parking garage. This is subject to change.
Check In 4pm
Check Out 11am
We will accommodate free early check-in or late check outs when the schedule allows. Again, when the schedule allows. We understand that many flights arrive late morning and that many flights depart late at night.

This condo was paradise. The views were amazing. We often spotted whales in the distance, and it was so nice just to be able to chill on the scenic lanai. Don’t miss this one!!!
Also, the host was very responsive, which we very much appreciated!

This property was an absolute dream! The view, the facilities, the service, the home- all a dream. The plush carpets and big rooms and bathrooms are very welcoming. The kitchen Is well equiped and we were so happy to find beach chairs and boogie boards to use. The BEST part of this property is the EXPANSIVE view of the ocean. Floor to ceiling patio doors that open from wall to wall were a highlight. Breakfast on the lanai was a dream. The linnens were a great quality and even the sofa bed was comfortable. The furnishings are high quality and there were plenty of seating options to kick back and relax. We liked the property so much we hope to visit again. Understandably, there were some adjustments we had to make due to the devastation of the Lahaina fires (shortened hours of operation and one closed pool and limited self parking) but everything went so smoothly. Honua kai is close to Times grocery store and most of the restaraunts were open including the general store/gift store. The grounds are beautifully maintained and right on the gorgeous sandy beach. Dukes restaraunt is right on property and services the pool and all 3 meals. Thanks! We hope to visit again soon.

We could not have been happier with our stay at the Konea on Kaanapali Beach. The unit was luxurious and perfect for two adult couples with master suite for each of us. The view from the balcony was spectacular. The condo is perfectly equipped for cooking and lounging. There were beach chairs, cooler and other beach supplies for kids.
Joe was very helpful, providing us important tips for navigating the airport, car rental, dinner reservations and scheduling activities. He checked on us to ensure we had everything we needed when we checked in. There were no problems during our stay.
This is an awesome location, property and unit hosted by a superb host. We had a 5 star vacation in a 5 star condo.

Our group consisted of two grandparents, one son and his two teen daughters. This 2bdrm/2bath condo fit the bill perfectly!! The building is clean and modern with a parking garage directly below accessed by elevator. The grounds are BEAUTIFUL. Pathways wind from the lobby past koi ponds, gardens, and manicured lawns to your choice of many pools including Quiet (this one is more for lounging quietly - no children or boisterous teens or adults), Winding river boasts a beach style entrance, Family is large with a fun winding pool slide built into the surrounding rock and waterfalls you can swim behind, Family #2 (great for toddlers) with a shallow pool built onto a deeper pool for the parents. There is a small store onsite and Duke's restaurant for food and libations is also onsite near the beach entrance. We also loved the food trucks just outside the entrance. The beach is just a few steps from the building with a boardwalk that runs the whole length of the beach. The condo was roomy, clean, well appointed and has an awesome view of the grounds, pools and beach - the perfect spot to view the sunset. Both bathrooms were large and both had separate shower and tub. Lots of towels!! (Beach towels are available near pools) Includes some snorkel gear, pool floaties, folding chairs, etc. We love coffee and the condo had a very nice Cuisinart pod style maker. It also has a washer and dryer in the unit which is a big plus! I honestly can't say enough about this condo. We will be back!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable, clean and well-appointed condo. Appreciated the many provided amenities, just as stated in the listing. The ocean and property views from the expansive lanai were incredible. Easy access to the beach and walkways all the way south to Black Rock and Whalers Village with shopping and oceanside restaurants. Check in and out was easy, and Joe was super helpful and responsive to any questions. My only "complaint" is that we didn't stay long enough!

Beautiful building and property, Great location, Family friendly resort.
Unfortunately the condo was not quite as clean and maintained as promoted, which required taking time away from enjoying family time to deal with issues during the first week of a 2 week stay, that with proper maintenance would not have been an issue. The cookware and lounge chair cushion are in need of a refresh, the condo is showing a bit of wear and tear. Newer carpet that is of good quality already installed.
The balcony is in shade until late in the day during the winter months, great for our family, the other side of the complex gets full sun for the day.
The towel lockers scattered around the property worked great, no need to take towels down to the pool/beach. Washer and dryer in the unit made life simpler for a family staying for an extended rental.
The underground parking is poorly set up, each condo should have a dedicated stall so that after a day out you are not parking blocks away.
Costco Champagne, chocolates and coffee as a welcome gift upon arrival not up to the mark for a rental property in this price range.
All in all a nice condo that requires a bit of attention to get it back to the condition it is promoted as.
The views off of the balcony are incredible!

Joe was great to communicate with via email or text. The unit(s) 707 and 703 that our party of 8 stayed in was very clean and beautifully adorned. We had a wonderful view of the pool and water/beach area. The appliances such as the Bosch oven worked fantastic which we enjoyed having a meal at our condo one night. This resort was a family friendly place and there were many young families and children especially poolside. Even though they have a small quiet pool area on the grounds I think if you are a couple looking for a quiet, restful stay, you might look at some of the other resorts.

The view is spectacular and we spent every morning on the lanai drinking coffee and every afternoon with a glass of wine enjoying the picturesque ocean and waves. We even swam with turtles in the water at the beach. I highly recommend staying here in Maui!

This is our 3rd time staying at the Honua Kai resort. We experienced one of the best locations on the property. The view was amazing! Our condo was well maintained and very comfortable. Perfect for two couples. Loved all of the swimming and beach items available. The only negative item was the very limited parking around the resort. If you went out for supper after 6, when you return there is no parking anywhere near the resort. This was not the case during our previous stays. This is not a fault of our condo owner, but the resort itself. They did not plan well as they were adding all of the townhouses around the resort. We still had a great time though!

We love Honua Kai and this was our 2nd time back at the property, but first time staying at Konea 707. The room had everything we needed -- more than enough space for our group of 6 (beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, pool noodles, and so much more). We were even able to get a loaner travel playpen/crib and high chair (the high chair was dirty upon arrival, but we were able to wipe it down sufficiently). Location is great, next to food trucks and the Time supermarket and right on the beach with an amazing pool. Will definitely be back! Only downside is the price, but we came at peak time. Thanks for an awesome stay!

Glad we rented a car as there aren't a lot of restaurants close by and Duke's on-site always had very long waits. Pools were fantastic and we always found a spot. Condo was very well appointed and had everything we needed. Easy check-in and friendly staff. It was a little hard to find parking if you returned after dinner. Can't wait to return!!

The property has a beautiful lobby and lots of amenities. The deck has a great view and it was an easy Uber ride to restaurants and attractions. Bring your own pillow because the ones there were horrible and have a big plastic piece in them. Pillow stealers beware you will not be able to pull that off here. Parking was challenging if you cannot get a space in the garage and the beach has no waves and is a bit rocky. Overall good value and the condo was clean and had everything we needed.

Our 10-day stay here was amazing! The unit is super clean, comfortable, and quiet (top floor, baby!). The place is in great condition, and a bonus was the closet with convenient pool/beach gear—boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, etc. But the very best part was the breathtaking ocean view from the balcony! And at night the pool lights and torches look beautiful from up there. The host Joe was very responsive to questions, and he went above and beyond to work around our tricky arrival. We’d be thrilled to stay again.
