Had a wonderful stay at this condo. Very comfortable for our family of 4 and 4 grandparents. Can’t beat location and amenities at Honua Kai! Had some trouble with entry codes and didn't have a pool towel code for first 5 days, however was able to just ask attendant for towels when they were restocking.

Upon arrival, we opened the sofa bed and found the sheets full of sand. We called property management and were told there were extra sheets in the closet and to use those. We also discovered that the internet was not working. A cable was placed the next day. Had to kill quite a few roaches.

An absolute dream! This beachside condo in Kaanapali exceeded all expectations. Impeccable views, luxurious amenities, and steps away from paradise. Unforgettable vacation experience!"

Property was as described. Great location, very short walk to the beach, easy access from parking lot or garage to condo. Rooms were more than accommodating for our group. Very short walking distance to food truck park, local grocery store that had more than enough, and other resorts for food or drink. Location was ideal for our need and would highly recommend. We loved our stay and would definitely consider staying again.

The property manager and service were firt rate. There was a little mixup in the first to come as we arrived at different times from different destinations. As soon as that was straightened out, all went smoothly. Definitely well stocked and convenient to the beach.

Very nice condo, steps from the beach. We could run out there to catch the sunset. I loved the ground floor lanai too. There were lizards during the day, toads at night and huge snails when it rained. The kids loved it!

We cannot say enough good things about this rental experience. The accommodations were perfect and as advertised. Everything was super clean and fully operational. We would highly recommend this unit to anyone interested in a Hawaii vacation. The overall property was fantastic as well. We cannot wait to return! Thank you to all involved for making this an incredible experience. Jeff

Spent 15 days on property - which our family thoroughly enjoyed. Super close to the beach (as advertised) and a great overall resort with a lot of good family friendly activities, specifically the pool.
The unit itself has a handful of small current issues which we reported that if fixed will make it tip top, namely a stove where no buttons are visible to operate and a broken lanai cover in the main room that prevented us from opening the unit to the outside. With those said,the property manager was responsive to these issues during our stay and I bet they will be fixed asap.

This place was everything as advertised. I am always examining properties to see where we can stay for our next trip, & if we return to Maui, this condo is literally the best one! We used the patio door to walk in & out more than the main door. Grills were just around the corner. Such a quiet spot only right around the corner from the resort life & steps to two great restaurants, one at Duke’s & the other at the Westin next door. Our oldest son whited playing the ukelele that was in the room. The room was stocked with spices, dish & laundry detergent, trash bags, & even some condiments in the fridge. Those items really stood out to me compared to other places we’ve stayed.
I tried to find last minute activities/tours that were close to the resort, but most near things were sold out, however tours that were about 40 minutes/ 1hour away were aplenty. Next time, I’ll get my tours booked sooner.
Also, Duke’s restaurant on property said they are booked out weeks in advance, but welcome walkins. So we would go put our name on the list a good while (1.5 hr) before we wanted to eat dinner & they always accommodated us.
Lovely stay!

The location and convenience of this property is unmatched. Having two smaller children, we were able to easily access the pool, beach, and a large grassy area in minimal time and returning to the room was so simple. It was quiet but close to the action. Will absolutely return!

The unit was just as described and was a perfect place for our family to enjoy a week’s vacation. The management company provided a high chair and portable crib for my grandson, which was very much appreciated. It was so nice to be able to walk out the unit in the back and be able to walk to the beach and along the boardwalk, and the views were fantastic from the patio.

So close to the beach from the patio and close to the pools from the front door! Beautiful kitchen. Great view! Great space for a family vacation. My grandchildren were so sad to leave their new “home”.

We’ve stayed at Honua Kai a few times but this is without a doubt one of the best located units and nicest units. In particular, it’s on ground level with grass right off the Lanai and a private path to the common grass and beach beyond, nice quiet views of the water, and it’s in sun all day and has sunset views. There is no better location. The condo was very nicely appointed - high end but not tacky, came with boogie boards, beach chairs and snorkel gear but not cluttered etc. Clean, in good condition, and very comfortable.
Also, we made our reservation before COVID and Barry, Stephen and the team were very fair about COVID accommodations and rebooking. They took care of a couple minor issues in the condo really quickly and we’re communicative, responsive and courteous.
You won’t do better in Maui!

Overall a great experience. The property is located in a great spot and the unit was even better than expected. Being on the main floor gives such easy access to the beach and pool and I only count one unit that may have a better spot than this one in the entire property!
I stayed with family and my kids and the unit had beach toys, chairs etc and even a pull out mat for my son to sleep on.
Very thoughtful place and would absolutely stay again!

Excellent location and fabulous unit. Instant access to beach with out going thru main property. If you want to eat at Duke’s its no reservations just first come first served and is adjacent to the pool. This unit is the best of the best.
