Fantastic room with views. Great amenities. Couldn't ask for more on this perfect Maui getaway! Will definitely book with Bob and Linda again!

The location can't be beat! The outdoor lanai is huge and offers a spectacular view. Great amenities are a step away. Be careful in the ocean - those waves will knock you around! :)

Everything was just as we had hoped. Honua Kai is a beautiful, well-kept resort, and this unit was spotless and well-equipped. Joe's communication was great, including letting us know (before we asked) that the condo was ready early. If we return to Maui, this is the first place we will consider.

Seamless booking, communication and stay. The property is as described… clean, convenient and well located. The towel service is great also, no damp towels at any point. The accommodation served us well for our first time in Hawaii, and the hosts made everything easy for us.

Absolutely Loved Our Stay – Perfect Maui Getaway!We had a fantastic experience staying at this condo in Maui. The views were stunning—sunrises with coffee and breakfast were a daily highlight. The space is large, clean, and well-equipped with everything you need for a short or extended stay.The amenities were top-notch, including a well-stocked kitchen, beach gear, comfortable bed, and a peaceful lanai to relax on. The owners take pride in keeping everything in great shape.We also really appreciated the local tips and recommendations from Randy—they made a big difference in helping us enjoy the island like locals.Overall, this place is a great value, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again on a future trip to Maui. Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay in a beautiful place. Everything was well stocked in kitchen, plenty of blankets & pillows. Nice King size bed. Perfect location to enjoy view of garden & peek a boo ocean view. Room Set back for a quieter stay. I would say this is a perfect place if you have kids, lots of fun pools. & a quiet area pool for adults.

This was a fantastic location and condo. Clean and comfy and very convenient. We enjoyed our time with the kids at the beach, pool, and even while we were in the condo cooking dinner and hanging out on the patio outside which had adequate furniture for lounging and eating as well.

This place was perfect. The resort was great with an easy store to get to and easy towel system. The room was just what we needed. Never heard noise from the other rooms, beautiful view just outside, and easy access to the beach, pools, Duke’s, and parking garage. The kitchen had all we need.The worst I can say was the the freezer door sometimes popped open when closing the fridge door. But if that’s the worst thing I wrote it should give you a good sense of how it was.The code system to get in and out of the room was nice because it meant we could leave our things behind when heading to the beach.Right out front and nearby is airport beach so great for snorkeling too. Absolutely loved this location. Right across the street was Waldo a food truck park and major grocery store.The sunsets off the beach right in front were always the perfect way to end our day.

We spent a week at Honua Kai, and it was the ideal location -- parking was easy and convenient, the condo was super spacious, with a huge bathroom and a gigantic lanai. We loved everything about the property -- the pools were gorgeous and having Duke's right there was a treat. We drove to a different beach everyday -- great snorkeling at Airport Beach and Black Rock. We would love to come back and stay here again!

Property had an amazing view. The unit was stocked with all you may need. There is some updating needed with the furniture. It was very easy to communicate with the property manager to get extra linens and get other questions answered.

This was an amazing property. The unit itself was lovely, very well appointed, very clean and incredibly comfortable. Had a couple things to talk with management about and they were super responsive and helpful. It’s rare to find a VRBO we would would want to rent again, however we hope to come back again and again.

This is our 3rd trip to stay at Honua Kai. We’ve been in both main buildings. For us the studio is perfect. The views are amazing and each time the unit has been clean and well situated. This trip we had issues with our dryer not doing the job. Maintenance visited but it went back in to error mode. I figured out “auto mode” managed to finish a cycle. Lighting is inadequate in the bathroom for those without great eyesight. We put a lamp next to the sink with the shade removed. Problem solved. We will be back.

Fantastic stay! Condo was clean. Beds were comfortable. Appreciated the welcome cookies and coffee! Great location, steps to the beach and Duke's restaurant. Pools were great for the kids with pool service from Duke's. Only complaint anyone had was the smell from the trash chute located across from our condo.

June 2025

We had a nice stay and the owner was very responsive. But problem issue was that we could not enjoy our balcony much due to the consistent smell of cigarette smoke, even though there is a no smoking policy throughout the complex. We reported this but it never let up.
Fred V.
June 2025

The property is exactly as described as it is a well maintained and perfectly furnished. The balcony has a wonderful view of the mountains and you still have a descent view of the beach. The condo has all the amenities you need with a large bathroom and plenty of space in the bedrooms. The property itself is a well kept location with numerous pools and locations to sit, and is across the boardwalk from the beach. Also, you are close to a grocery store, numerous restaurants and a great food truck lot that we ate dinner in twice. The property owner communication was constant and quick, and could not ask for any better service. Also a huge thing for the property as a whole is the towel vending machines which are a huge hit for everyone there and was probably my my most favorite amenity at the property. Overall, I greatly enjoyed my visit and 100% will book here again for my next visit to Maui.

This spot was perfect for our family of four (two kids under the age of 5). We really liked how room 140’s back door opened up to a large field (storm surge area) so the kids could run around in the grass, chase birds, kick balls, etc. The room was just a short walk to the pool, beach, elevator (to access the parking garage), and the resort itself is a short walk to food trucks, grocery store, shave ice, pizza by the slice… really a great location. Also Maui Resort Rentals was helpful by providing a high chair and booster seat.

Such a great visit! Honua Kai never disappoints. We tend to always look for a ground floor unit, for ease of in and out. Location was great!!! But I will say the unit was very close to the doors into the lobby, so we heard a lot of "slamming" doors at all hours-never bothered us though.The unit had so mnay beach things-cooler on wheels, boogie boards, chairs and an umbrella-that part was wonderful!The kitchen was perfect for what we needed. Lots of plates/bowls/cups/etc. BBQ things were there and someone had left foil, and salt/pepper. The beds were comfortable and linens were good. We knew that we were only getting one bathroom, so our family of 4 shared-which was ok. Bathroom was very spacious and had a drying rack for wet suits. Laundry was wonderful! We always pack less knowing that we can wash clothes.Location was walkable to food trucks, and Times Market, and the other 'strip' mall things you need-pizza place, ice cream, rental shop for snorkel stuff. The resort was SOOOO clean and accommodating. Staff is very nice, having Duke's there is great for food. The owner of the unit was very kind, and checked in with us frequently-making sure everything was good. I could go on and on-having access to other pools in Luana was great. And the gym and small market were in the Konea tower-which was only a 2 min walk. The beach in front of the resort is amazing-water was clear and waves were mellow. We would stay here again in a heart beat. Thank you!

Beautiful property! Great view of the ocean and has everything you could need. Duke is on property and makes for an easy meal or drinks by the pool or beach. They have inflatables you can buy and use in the lazy river or take down to the beach. There’s a nice boardwalk that you can walk in the mornings as well and a coffee shop close by. It’s on the west side of the island so you may be driving a little to places like Paia, but it’s a great place to stay. We picked it for our elopement/honeymoon and can’t wait to come back for an anniversary in a few years!

Very nice condo, great location on wonderful Kaanapali Beach. Great pools (extra privacy with several small pools surrounded by boulders, plants, etc. Duke's restaurant and bar conveniently on the premises. Spa there too!

June 2025

Honua Kai on Kannapali beach is our favorite destination in Maui. The entire resort is beautifully landscaped, effectively staffed, clean, and beautiful. The unit does need a bit of updating to earn my 5 start rating in the way of new carpet(stained), and perhaps a better dishwasher, and a dryer that actually dries clothes. To that point, these are "nits".....there is no way to describe the wonderful experience this unit delivers. We will be back.

We had a fantastic stay. Joe was quick to respond as we had a couple of questions leading into the trip. Check in was easy and parking was free and convenient. The room was clean, updated, and as listed. The facilities were great for my little kids. Their favorites were the water slide and lazy river like pool, which had splash pads that were great for my 1 year old. We would love to stay here again!

Excellent vacation . We had a great experience at this property. Highly recommended. The room did lack clothes hangers (five) so we left an extra 20 there. Absolutely love the accommodations. We can’t wait to return. Thanks for a great experience.

The unit is on the quieter side of the resort and very convenient if you want to walk to the local grocery store or hop on the main highway. The unit has a nice view of the ocean and feels private. Easy access to the pools, walking path, and Dukes.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect amount of space for the two of us, good amenities both in the unit and in the property. Enjoyed having little things like coffee filters or a bit of foil to wrap up leftovers, good knives for cooking (and a new sponge to hand wash those good knives). Location is spot on, grounds are lovely, having Duke’s on site was enjoyable. Note that while you can see the ocean and the lanai is enjoyable, the unit is recessed a bit that you won’t capture much breeze when it’s offshore which means the AC was on during the night. But that’s far from a deterrent as we would definitely stay here again and have already recommended this to another couple. Thank you for sharing your piece of Maui with the rest of us.

The two condos were perfect for our family of 11. Spacious and well equipped. GORGEOUS views.We had ac issues for 3 days in one of the units, but management worked with us to make it right. We do plan to stay there again.

May 2025

The location was wonderful, just 2 minute walk to the beach and easy access to the boardwalk. Being on the corner and the first floor made it super convenient. There is an elevator at the end of the hall, but the unit is just a few feet from the stairs, one flight down to the parking garage. And the privacy curtains made it easy feel like you are in your own world. Also. it is Just a 15 minute walk to Airport Beach where the snorkeling is fantastic.The apartment itself, has lots a places to sit and relax and eat and play games. Two of the bedrooms have on-suits. The kitchen is fully equipped. Some cups are showing their wear and could be replaced. Bring your own soap and shampoo for the showers. There were boogie boards, a large cooler ( bring your own smaller one if you don't want to use the big one ) and umbrellas and several beach chairs! The AC worked perfectly. The host replied back by text within minutes each time, so very responsive. Can't wait to come back again!
