We enjoyed our stay, and the place and host were fantastic. Very comfortable and roomy for our family of 4. Pools were great and the view is amazing. The unit was super clean and had every amenity needed although we did not cook much. Duke's is convenient and tasty but make reservations or do take out as the table wait can be long. The unit and Honua Kai are a very family friendly place so be prepared for lots of young kids.

The property has a great view, it has multiple pools, and Duke's resturant is right there on the beach. Check in and out process is really easy and smooth, the host and on-site manager were very responsive. Definitely recommond.

Bruno’s property is just as it’s described here and fully worthy of the five stars. The location is predictably great but Bruno’s communication and the quality of the amenities in the condo made it an even more relaxing trip for a family traveling with an infant. It was easy to rent additional items (like a crib, high chair and beach cart) — everything was in place when we arrived and we didn’t need to lift a finger.
Thank you, Bruno!

The room was exactly how we expected. Bruno does a great job communicating and being readily available for questions.
The place is well stocked, which is a huge help when staying with a family and eating “in” at times.
Highly recommend.

The condo was very clean and had all the needed amenities. It was so nice to have the two bedrooms and two separate bathrooms. Short of as to a supermarket to cook meals at the condo or walk to Dukes. Try the pono pie!

Amazing property! View was amazing. Ours first morning we were greeted with by a beautiful rainbow. We have stayed in VRBOs before and this one was Fully stocked. Extremely clean and comfortable. We felt right at home. Checkin and checkout process was smooth. Contact with owners Bruno and Roger was easy and caring. We loved that the apartment was close to quick elevator access to pool and beach. Property grounds, pool and beach are beautiful. Thank you Tonin brothers we will be back!!!

The condo was nicely set up and the view was amazing! The resort was conveniently located with nice grounds & pools, and just a few minute walk right out to the beach. Bruno was great and easy to work with... super communicative, professional and nice. We would definitely stay here again.

Just came back from the most perfect stay in Maui. Bruno is the best! Called us right after the booking to welcome us and give us information about the property. He was so kind giving us tips and answering all our questions. The condo was beautiful, clean, and well stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals-spices, containers, tinfoil. The view from the balcony is just to die for! Our stay was everything I could ask for and more. Highly recommended!

We loved the condo's location...right above one of the pools and Duke's. Easy elevator access. Condo was equipped with all the supplies and gadgets you need. Owners were very responsive if we needed anything or had questions. It was a great place for our family vacation to Maui.

My family (husband, 15 and 17 year old) just returned from an amazing week at Bruno's condo in Honua Kai. We had the absolutely best family vacation on Maui and the condo was perfection! It started off with the booking process when Bruno reached out right away to answer any of our questions and to tell us about key things to do in the area. We took his advice and had some amazing excursions with a cocktail sunset sail and snorkel adventure to Lanai. The condo itself is stunning. The views are perfection and there was so much room for our family of four. We all enjoyed much time on the balcony where the views were spectacular. The check in process was very easy and we loved having a keyless entry to access the condo. Parking was also very convenient, as was the towel service. We used the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler that are provided. I would 100% recommend staying here - you will not regret it! We will definitely be back! Thanks for everything Bruno - you helped to make our vacation memorable!

H605 in Honua Kai was all that we hoped for and more! This was our second time staying in the development and first in H605. Our family of five fit more than comfortably. The views are second to none. The location is absolutely perfect! The condo came with beach chairs, coolers, sand toys and an umbrella. Also, all cleaning and paper products are already there. And great quality products! We are already planning our next trip to Maui and will be once again staying in H605. Thanks Bruno!

It doesn’t take long to figure out why this property and its owner rate so highly among visitors! From our initial booking through our return home communication was friendly and helpful. The property is beautiful, clean, and well stocked with household and beach items. The views are spectacular and the property - with its pools, shop, spa, and restaurant make for a full luxury resort experience. Bruno genuinely sought to make sure that we enjoyed ourselves and we appreciated his suggestions for restaurants, shopping, and activities! The check in/out process was a breeze. This was our first trip to Maui but definitely not our last. We will gladly rent this home again!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Honua Kai resort! The communication and information we received prior to arrival made our check-in quick and easy. The condo was clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed, plus more! The views from the lanai are spectacular, we enjoyed it daily from coffee to cocktails at sunset! It was convenient to have grocery, pizza paradiso (best margherita pizza) and a snorkel shop nearby. Thank you to Bruno and Roger for a wonderful stay, your genuine concern for our comfort and enjoyment go above and beyond!

The condo was awesome. The owner even contacted me personally and gave me valuable suggestions about restaurants and activities. His condo was well stocked with non perishable items including beach chairs, umbrella, children toys. Everything was so clean. The view from the balcony was magical! The resort was gorgeous. The pool and access to beach were great. The restaurant on the property was delicious and drinks were awesome. I can’t say enough about this property and owner!!

An amazing trip/experience had by all. On May 10th from 8:55 am to 10am a momma whale and calf breached. We were able to witness this very late an unexpected experience right from the amazing view on the lanai! Cabana days are a must! Hands down one of the most exciting, relaxing, and breath taking vacations we have been on! I have never seen such a fully stocked, and immaculate VRBO, Bruno goes all out!

Simply amazing! Beautiful condo, wonderful resort and great location! Bruno was beyond great about communicating, even when he was on vacation. The condo had everything we needed and more. It was so clean and neat. Better than the pictures. I will be back & I will stay here again! We swam with turtles right down the beach from our condo. We also got to see whales and dolphins from the lani!! The pools were perfect. Having Dukes on the property and a food truck park nearby was very handy. What a great find!!! Thank you Bruno & family!

Perfect location for our family - kids 12, 14, 16. The views from the balcony are amazing. Room is so close to the pools and the beach. Underground parking right next to the elevator up to our room. Bruno was an amazing host throughout the process and make sure to contact Candice, his on-island concierge contact, for any of your excursion needs. Definitely 5 stars and would go back again.

We can't stop talking about our incredible stay in Bruce's condo at Honua Kai. The condo was absolutely spotless and perfectly accommodated our family of four (two small children). There was plenty of kitchen items for us to use, and the beach closet had everything we needed for all of us for a day at the beach. They even had aloe Vera and bug spray (even though we did not encounter a single bug anywhere). We were also very impressed with the Honua Kai. The resort was lovely and perfectly suited for children. We were there during what might be considered peak time (spring break) and we never had to fight for pool chairs. The onsite restaurant saved us many times for last minute to go meals (Dukes is delicious) and we'd end up spreading out on the lawn and letting the kids play while we ate dinner, enjoying the live music and the sunset. Our little girl still naps so one of us would stay with her in the condo, only we'd be on the patio, sipping a mai tai and watching for whales (which we saw plenty of!). We are already looking to return next year!

We absolutely loved our stay in Bruno’s condo. The location within the resort is fantastic - super close to the very fast elevator, so you can be at the pool, beach or Duke’s within a couple of minutes. The view from the balcony is gorgeous. We sat and had coffee or drinks out there every day. Bruno is extremely helpful and allowed us a late checkout since it worked with the next reservation. Do not hesitate to book. We loved it!

If you are looking for the best view for a 2bed 2bath at Honua Kai, it might be hard to beat this one. A view of all three pools and close to the ocean. The nearby elevator takes you down right to the pool. Our family loved it.
We visited soon after the area opened back up. Bruno kept us up to date on everything in advance to let us know we could still visit the island. After spending 7 nights there we felt the love of all the locals who were glad to see tourists coming back.
We took a snorkel boat to Molokini Crater, got surfing lessons, did a dinner cruise, got great food and beverages at Dukes and other establishments, and the main theme was they were all so glad to get back to some normalcy.
The condo is well equipped with everything you need. Beds were super comfortable. TV in living room and bedrooms were the perfect size and also newer models. boogie boards and beach chairs provided.
Honua Kai is the only resort we will stay at in Maui. Its the best. This condo and the owners will make you so happy you booked with them.
Cant wait to come back!

Really beautiful condo and resort. Ocean and island views plus great view of the resort. Very spacious and clean condo perfect for our family with kids 20, 17 and 13. Bruno and Monty were great.

As soon as I booked my stay about 9 months ago, I received a phone call from Bruno Tonin - the property owner. He was very communicative and was warm and hospitable. He sent us a wealth of information - recommendations of things to do and see to make our first visit to Maui amazing. We were in touch on several occasions prior. The condo is well-cared for, immaculately clean, and well stocked. The view of the ocean and pool from the condo is spectacular. We took many of Bruno’s suggestions and especially enjoyed the sunset cruise and Old Lahaina Luau. Bruno’s excellent communication, hospitality and attention to detail made this a perfect vacation in paradise. We stayed here with my sister and her husband and appreciated the two king beds and bathrooms. Towels, paper products, beach chairs, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent was all provided. Monty was our contact on Maui and he was also in touch with us. The service from both Bruno and Monty was exceptional. Mahalo!

My family of six had the most amazing time in Maui!! The condo was more than fully equipped with everything you need. The view and location to everything was perfect!! The beds were amazing best sleep ever!! We are looking forward to booking this in the near future.
June 2023
It starts with the host, then the lanai and view and just keeps going. First class furnishings, comfortable beds, including sofa bed, my daughter and granddaughter slept on it all week. Things are stocked you do not expect, paper towels, baggies, etc. lots of beach chairs. The place was immaculate and nothing needed upgraded or repaired. Hosts are available if needed. Best stay ever; can’t wait to return. Book it you will not be disappointed, worth every penny and then some.

The unit was clean and has gorgeous view. We loved that both bedrooms had king beds and there was a sleeper sofa. It was so helpful that there were plenty of paper towels, laundry detergent, liquid handsoap (not the bars!), baggies, spices, etc. The owner went out of his way to be accommodating and polite. We loved the complex too with a waterslide, the waterfall pool was heated, multiple hot tubs. Was glad the owner recommended water shoes because tons of rocks in the ocean. Onsite Dukes restaurant was good food and amazing views.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Honua Kai Resort through VRBO with my family, including our 8-month-old baby. I must say, it was an absolute dream vacation, and we are already planning to return. From the owner's helpfulness during the booking process to their responsiveness throughout our stay, the level of service provided was outstanding.
The property itself offered a breathtaking ocean view that was truly awe-inspiring. We spent countless hours on the balcony, mesmerized by the beauty of the sparkling waves and the soothing sounds of the ocean. It created the perfect backdrop for quality family time and relaxation.
The location of the property was another highlight of our stay. With its close proximity to restaurants and several beautiful beaches, we were able to explore the local culinary scene and enjoy the sun-kissed shores effortlessly. It made it incredibly convenient, especially with a little one in tow.
Overall, our experience at Honua Kai Resort was nothing short of amazing. The owner's exceptional service, combined with the property's stunning ocean view and convenient location, made it a memorable trip for all of us. We cannot wait to return and create more cherished memories. I highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a wonderful family retreat in a beautiful Hawaiian setting.

We loved our stay at the Tonin’s condo. The accommodations were exceptional and the view was amazing!! There was more than enough room for our family of 4 (all adults), and the complex is very well maintained and safe. Pools and beach at resort were beautiful! We saw turtles and whales right off the beach at the complex! Restaurant on property was good for breakfast and takeout dinner (make reservations early for dinner). Condo has Keurig and coffee maker but and we especially enjoyed coffee bar downstairs! Would definitely recommend this condo to anyone!

We just spent a week at Bruno's condo and cannot say enough about how lovely, clean and well-stocked it was. I had read the other reviews and similar to those, Bruno called me as soon as we reserved and shared details on the unit and tips for our trip and during our stay was very prompt in responding to texts. While in Hawaii, we also texted with Monty the property manager who was also super responsive.
In terms of supplies, we stayed for a week and never had to get cleaning supplies, paper towels, etc. There was plenty to last us the week, which was incredibly convenient.
The unit itself is beautiful and spacious with great views and easy access to the beach, pools and amenities of the resort. And, we were lucky enough to see a humpback whale and calf breaching out of the water while eating dinner one night, which was so special.
Thank you Bruno for the hospitality - it was such a special trip with great memories for us all!

We had the most wonderful time at the property with our family of 5. Watched whales from the lanai, steps away from the pool, beach, great food and sunshine. The check in and check out was the smoothest I have ever experienced! We loved the convenient under ground parking garage for when we zipped around the island for family fun. We would come back for sure, 10/10.
March 2023
We had a short stay at this property and would defiantly come back. Owner was very helpful and reached out numerous times prior to our visit. The only issue we encountered was not related to owner but VRBO app login. We reached out to the local manager and he quickly responded and helped us resolve.

Aloha - My family of 4 stayed at this amazing condo Feb 12th - 23rd 2023! We can’t speak highly enough about the unit and resort. My kids ages 7 and 8 went with us and it was the perfect place for us! My boys loved sharing a room and all the beds were very comfortable. The washer and dryer were a huge bonus and we were able to do laundry as needed. The beautiful lanai was breath taking! We saw TONS of whales breaching and the tikis around the resort at night were a beautiful sight. The lanai overlooks the pool which my kids loved. The condo itself was immaculate with all the bells and whistles. It was fully stocked with toilet paper, paper towel, laundry detergent ect… My 7 yr old son is physically handicap (uses a walker to get around) and the condo was so convenient for him. The room is right by the elevator which is a major bonus for us. The bathroom even had a stool for him to stand up on and brush his teeth. My boys loved the boogie boards in the closet that you could take to the beach. Bruno was in touch from the moment we arrived. He was always accessible and i appreciated that so much!! He even called me directly when we originally booked the trip (10 months) prior to the trip. Great condo, great resort and great host!! We can’t wait to come back!! Thanks for helping my family make the BEST memories in Maui!

We had a magical time at this condo! Whale watching from the balcony every morning was a highlight. Beds we’re comfortable and everything was well stocked. We had excellent communication with the owners about what to expect. The resort was beautiful and we enjoyed the music at night from the restaurant below. Overall this property set a very high bar for any future travels to Maui, we’d definitely stay again.

Amazing Unit, Great Property but even better customer service. From initial booking to final checkout everything about Bruno and his customer service was top notch. I am always nervous renting from individuals vs. a company but Bruno eased my mind from initial booking. He called personally and wanted to check in even though it was ten months before our trip. He shared his love for Maui and provided all sorts of useful information for booking our vacation, not just the condo. He was always available via text and had a point person on the island in case anything went wrong. The unit was stocked to the nines with everything you would need. The views were spectacular for sunsets and whale watching. Five stars!!

Ahhh, where to begin?! Just got back from a beautiful 7 night stay at Brunos, and WOW! Let me be clear, this isn’t your typical VRBO. This is like staying at your friends home, fully stocked, CLEAN, quality lines, soaps, cleaners, etc. No short cuts were taken, at all! The view was awesome. In the morning we would listen to the relaxing sound of the waves, at night we would enjoy the tiki torch lights and people watch. We had our 1 year old with us, and we were fine with having her crawl as the place was that clean. There was nothing we could have asked for, other than to stay another week! LOL. If you choose Brunos, know that you are not booking a basic VRBO, this is luxury, and you will be very well taken care of. I will definitely be back, and I thank Bruno for sharing his beautiful home with us.

Beautiful property, wonderful views, centrally located, as there are many activities in the area. The property had everything a family needs to enjoy themselves in and out of the property. The check in was a snap and the bellman were great helping get our groceries and luggage to our room. Parking was easy and convenient. The condo was clean and comfortable and was fully stocked with everything one would need. The owner were wonderful and attentive to our needs prior to arrival and ongoing once there. Will book again, just great to work with.

If you are thinking about staying here at this resort, this condo is awesome and the views are spectacular. We had everything available to us. The only thing we bought was food and our belongings. The condo came fully stocked with everything for our vacation. Not just a starter kit either. Bruno, the property owner was very helpful with providing details when needed. He does care for his guest to ensure they have a comfortable stay and it shows! Thanks Bruno for allowing us to stay at your wonderful vacation home. Much appreciated.

This property deserves more stars than it allows me to give! Not only is the condo beautiful and fully stocked, the view is amazing! It has a gorgeous view of the ocean while overlooking the pools and Duke's (which is beautiful at night with all the tiki torches burning). On top of all that, Bruno is an amazing host! He treated us like family and was so kind and generous. The communication was excellent! When Bruno was on an airplane and unavailable, his brother Roger responded immediately to the questions I had and was extremely helpful. I cannot say enough good things about our time here. Thanks so much, Bruno, for sharing your lovely condo with us and thank you, Roger, for your help along the way! We feel so blessed!

We can’t say enough great things about the resort, host, property manager and how well-appointed the unit was upon arrival. The unit was close to the elevators for convenience but not too close for noise. For our beach days and our road to Hana, the host provided beach bags, umbrella, boogie boards, beach chairs and portable coolers which saved us from having to purchase at Costco. The views of the ocean were amazing and the listing was accurate in the description of the ocean views. The unit itself had high-end appliances and finishes and plenty of space for us and our two teenage children. We enjoyed exploring different beaches and restaurants and also enjoyed the pool and dining in the unit. The unit was well stocked with paper towels, toilet paper and all of the necessities in the kitchen. The lanai provided us with indoor/outdoor living that was nice to have after sunset for playing cards or having a glass of wine. We would highly recommend this unit and resort! Mahalo to the host for a wonderful week in Maui!

This is a wonderful condo and I’m so happy we picked it. Bruno was so easy to work with from day one. The views were incredible, the condo was in great condition and it was very nicely stocked, made our stay wonderful.
The resort itself was getting painted so there was some construction going on near our room, but that didn’t bother us too much. Glad they are updating the resort though it could use a bit of a facelift.
Thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful room. We look forward to coming back!

Visited this property last week with my sisters and mother. Have stayed at this property before but not in this unit. It was absolutely fabulous and everything was as advertised. Clean unit with beautiful views. Could’ve spent most of my time of the lanai enjoying the ocean views and views of Dukes restaurant’s tiki torches. Bruno was fabulous and responded to any questions immediately.
The unit was well stocked and we enjoyed not having to stock up on toilet paper and paper towels as we’ve had two with other VRBO rentals. I would highly recommend staying at this property.

We (4 adults, including 2 over 65) absolutely loved our stay at this condo and resort. The condo is every bit as described in the listing - spacious, clean, close to everything, and amazing views!! The condo is extremely well stocked, which, if you tend to stay at VRBO type properties when you travel, is a real difference maker. We didn’t have to buy TP, garbage bags, Kleenex, detergent, etc. - the condo is well stocked with everything you need. I interacted with both Bruno and Roger before and during our stay, and both were terrific to talk to, had great suggestions for our visit, and were very responsive to questions and issues. This is one of the best rental properties we’ve ever stayed it. We definitely hope to return!!!

We stayed for three weeks and felt quite at home in the condo. The unit was extremely well stocked with everyday essentials like laundry soap, shampoo, garbage bags, etc. The view was lovely and we enjoyed overlooking the pool area and Duke’s restaurant in the evening as we were able to enjoy some of their live music when we sat on the patio. The resort is great. Pools are heated and we enjoyed the beach in front of the resort. I would recommend this unit to anyone. We will be back!

This condo is absolutely amazing. The owner personally reached out prior to make sure we had everything we needed as well as emailed about 20 pages of information on things to do, dining options and resort information. The view from the balcony is spectacular and the resort's 4 pools offer a variety options to play and/or lounge. If you plan to stay at the Honua Kai Resort, do yourself a favor and book this unit. You won't be disappointed.

Our family of 5 stayed at the condo for a week in June 2021. The condo was incredibly clean, check-in was easy and the location was great. The view is AMAZING! Honua Kai is a wonderful resort style property that offers something for all ages. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bruno. He went above and beyond from day 1 to make our vacation wonderful. He personally called and answered all my questions and sent tons of recommendations for the island. I would recommend this condo to anyone visiting Maui. Bruno, Honua Kai and the concierge made this trip one that we will never forget.

We just returned from a wonderful vacation in Hawaii with Maui being our first week. We couldn't be more pleased with our stay at this beautiful condo. The location was perfect...close to dining and shopping but away from the craziness of the touristy spots. Very easy drive to many beautiful beaches and breathtaking scenery. We took a couple of drives just north of Kaanapali along the north shore. We really liked that area. We hiked down to the blow hole, marveled at the cliffs and the gorgeous water. We did come upon a portion of the road where it got so narrow, we decided not to go any further. We watched other cars as they had to back up to let cars pass as it turned into a one lane road. Later we read an article about a tragedy that occurred earlier this year due to the narrow curvy road. Its beautiful but be very cautious! We tried several "recommended" restaurants but actually preferred the more "hole in the wall" places. We liked Lahainatown the best. For nice dining, I really liked Fleetwoods, owned by Mick Fleetwood (drummer and leader of Fleetwood Mac), but there are so many great places to check out. Our favorite place was Spanky's in Old Lahainatown ($3 drafts beers, burgers and onion rings all within a reasonable price and local atmosphere). I would also recommend Slappy Cakes, which is walking distance from the condo.
As far as the condo itself - about as perfect as I could hope for. The beds were very comfortable. I appreciated the large ceiling fans in both bedrooms and living room, in addition to the central air. The place is immaculately clean. The kitchen is very well stocked with all the cooking supplies you could need and everything is in very good condition. Mostly I have to say, the view from the lanai is excellent. We spent every morning there for coffee and every evening for cocktails. I loved looking at the tiki torches along the property, easily seen from our lanai. All in all, I have to say this is the best condo I have ever rented and look forward to another visit. Well done, Tonin's!

Excellent location within the building and came stocked with all the useful amenities: Beach chairs, umbrella, ice chest & boogie boards. Kitchen was well stocked and we cooked a couple of dinners there. Beds were very comfortable. The views spectacular from the lanai. Overall and fantastic unit.

We were looking to stay in a condo with accommodations for 6 that was close to the beach with a pool and this place was that and so much more! It has a well stocked kitchen, large lanai, great views of the beach and pools and close to everything. This place did not disappoint in any way! It was exactly what was described on the website and more.
The place was beautiful inside and has a large lanai. The place accommodated all 6 of us comfortably.
Bruno, the owner, was great and was quick to respond if we had any questions. The best communication we’ve ever had with a rental.
We will be back!

Our stay in Hokulani 605 was nothing short of perfect. The bow from the lanai of the pool and sunset was spectacular. The room was clean, well appointed with nice furnishings, and stock full of amenities with everything from pool and beach gear to necessities, and condiments. The room lacked for nothing. On arrival there were two minor issues with the coffee maker and the refrigerator and the owner had them fixed immediately, including the delivery of a brand new coffee maker within just hours of our arrival. The process leading up to our arrival was perfect. Bruno reached out to me often with welcoming information and was immediately responsive when the minor issues arose upon our arrival. It is obvious that he and his family have a pride of ownership of this unit and really wants every guest to have every amenity possible. We will definitely recommend it his property and would love to stay there on our next visit. Thanks again Bruno. We loved it!!!!

This was our first VRBO rental and everything was perfect! Our family of 4 spent one week. First of all the view from the balcony is postcard perfect! We ate many meals and just lounged on the balcony everyday.
Secondly, the unit is fully equipped with everything that you might need, including beach chairs, beach toys and coolers.
Last but not least, the owner Bruno Tonin is fantastic! He is proactive and very responsive to your questions and needs.

This place is amazing and Bruno is great to work with. This was our second time staying here. I can not say enough about it. The view is amazing. The room is huge with a nice kitchen, but the deck and view are the best part.
I love to snorkel. We went to Black Rock, Honalua Bay, Napilli Bay, and a snorkel tour to Lanai, but the best place is in front of the condo down to airport park heading south in front of the Westin. The best lunch is Malibu seafood tacos "to go" at the Fish Market. Bring them back up to your amazing deck.
I hope to return every year. I can't wait to go back!! Thank you Bruno for sharing your piece of paradise!!

To be any better would be impossible! The property as pictured was exactly our experience. The amenities including the beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, spices, coffee, kitchen set up were all so nice! The view - utterly spectacular. Perfect set up for us, as 2 couples! The owners could not have been more accommodating! Definitely hope to plan a return visit!

The property and location exceeded our expectation in every way. The condo was very well equipped (except tongs,brought and left some behind - your welcome). Welcome and condo introduction was very through and professional. We had been made aware in advance that work would be happening in pools, but beach was great and so major impact. Everything worked perfectly in Condo and ample room for our family of 2 kids and 2 adults. Parking easy, by plenty of dining options etc within walking distance. Thanks for a great stay!

AAA+++ What a wonderful condo and even more wonderful owners! We stayed in H605 with our 2 young daughters and had a wonderful time and are looking forward to staying again. The condo is beautiful, very clean and thoughtfully stocked with EVERYTHING one would need. I could have left behind much of what I brought. The owners generously stocked the baths with shampoo, conditioners, soap, tons of towels and paper goods. The kitchen has spices, soaps, coffee, both a coffee pot and Keurig pod machine with coffee. Tons of beach chairs, umbrellas, even drink cups to take to the beach. They have really thought out everything one would need on vacation and have it at the ready here in the condo. We had a wonderful time here. The view from the condo is spectacular and the location could not be better. It is right near the pools and restaurant and with all the tiki torches lit up at night the balcony is so relaxing. Bruno gave us friendly tips on where to take our daughters to eat and activities to do. Our young daughter ended up with an ear infection and the owners went above and beyond to work with us to extend our days here until she recovered. We were really touched that the owners were so kind and generous and accomodating. We really appreciate their kindness and Aloha spirit. Thank you Bruno and family!

This was our 2nd trip to Bruno's condo. Our first trip was a little more then 2 years ago. It was such a perfect home away from home for our family that we just had to return. It hasn't aged a bit as Bruno clearly takes pride in the condition of the condo and keeps it up well. Great location, great view, great owner and great time. The next time our family goes to Maui we will return once again.

Thank you Bruno and family for a wonderful vacation packed full of memories! The condo had everything we needed to make our vacation seamless. We enjoyed peaceful mornings with coffee on the lanai and finished the evenings with a nice glass of wine. Duke's Beach House was amazing.....best Ahi I've ever had! We explored the road to Hana and were amazed at the Haleakala crater. We even had family photos done at the beach. The location is perfectly close to Whaler's village and shopping. We finished our visit with a luau at the Feast of Lele and loved every minute! This was our 25th anniversary and I could not have wished it any better. I know that when we come back to Maui, your condo is the place to stay!
Mahalo, Bruno!!

Everything about this vacation was amazing. If it were an option, we would give it six stars! We have vacationed on all of the Hawaiian Islands and this was our best trip ever. The beautiful condo was spotless, well stocked, and has spectacular views of the whales, sunsets, and Molokai Island. The resort is gorgeous and has just about everything: pools, spa, work out facilities, pristine beach, first class dining, and excellent snorkeling right off of the property. My only concern is by reviewing this property honestly, word will get out and we may have trouble booking it for our next trip; we are definitely coming back. Thank you to the Tonin family for making this dream come true vacation a reality. Larry DeDonato

This unit was a great 2 bedroom 2 bath unt. Plenty of room for our family of five. Full size washer and dryer were great keeping up with our group. Kitchen was nicely appointed and closet with beach chairs, cooler and boogie boards was really appreciated! Onsite rental of snorkel and other gear was very convenient. We have been to Maui twice and our view here was the best!
If we return to Maui again I will definitely head back to this unit for our stay. Wonderful accommodations!

We just arrived home and are already missing the magic of Maui! My 4 sisters and I had a wonderful reunion week together and fell in love with Maui and our lovely "home" for the week! The condo was absolutely beautiful, well appointed with everything you need and very upscale! So convenient to everything and the 2 landscaped pools and beach were fabulous. We loved Dukes too, great drinks, food and music! Daily walks to black rock were exhilarating and snorkeling right off the beach was fabulous, the turtles, fish and coral. We enjoyed our wonderful meals and drinks on the lanai, watching the sunset and the gorgeous blue ocean. Enjoyed the convenience to shops and restaurants! Fabulous condo in every way!

A very nice property, clean, and very well maintained. The owners have thoughtfully provided everything you might possibly need for a relaxed vacation, including all the gear you might need to have a picnic on the beach, if you feel so inclined. They were also very easy to deal with, and I'd recommend calling if you have any questions.
The location is wonderful. Duke's Restaurant was very convenient, and the little grocery store in the complex has a great selection of food. I had been warned that everything was overpriced in Kanapali, but I didn't find that to be the case. There is a convenient supermarket a few miles down the road that has everything and more. I would highly recommend renting a car and not depending on cabs.
The only thing we found lacking was perhaps unique to our situation: we were there for a wedding and the ladies missed having a full length mirror in the condo, so they could check themselves out before leaving each evening. Other than that, everything was perfect.

We have traveled around the world, and been to some amazing places. But I think last week was the best vacation of my life, and in large part due to the fantastic stay at this vacation rental.
The resort is fabulous with great pools, food locations on property and close by. The beach is beautiful. The under ground parking is super convenient. The actual home is beautiful, clean, and fully-stocked. We had every kitchen utensil we needed, plenty of towels, and lots of beach gear. There were little touches that made our trip extra special, for example, the home has beach toys, which was so fun for the baby.
I am usually not a fan of staying anywhere more than once when we travel, but we will definitely be coming back here!
Recommendations for food: Honu Grill (10 minute drive) Fish Market (5 minute drive) and Mill House restaurant at the planation (40 minute drive but amazing amazing food).

We had a wonderful stay at Bruno's condo. Our host was very helpful, and the condo was simply perfect with everything we could possibly need (4 adults and one kid). Stop looking, book it! And take advantage of the concierge to book your tours.

We were very impressed and very pleased with this condo. It exceeded our expectations. The view from the lanai is amazing. It's fully stocked with beach needs. The kitchen is fully stocked with all you would need for cooking meals. The resort is equally pleasing! The pools and water slide were great fun. We would definitely stay here again. We also loved eating at Dukes on the beach. Highly recommend this condo and resort!!
January 2016
One word - MAGNIFICENT. Rarely do we feel an all around exceptional experience when traveling. In addition to having excellent accommodations, the owners are so great and courteous to work with in planning. Extremely flexible and thoughtful. They set up the concierge ahead of time and all our groceries awaited and neatly packed away when we got in. YES PLEASE! Also, they had all our beach needs tucked in the closet! Thank goodness!
The owners here put extraordinary effort into comfort of their guests. This 2 bedroom suite is marvelous with extremely comfortable beds, separate COMPLETE master bathrooms with marble sinks. The living space is huge with sweeping views of the ocean and swim area. Kitchen is huge with seating area and everything you need to cook a gourmet Hawaiian dinner at home! Step off the elevator and right at the pool! At one point I was in the pool and my mother waving down at me from the balcony!! The access to the room is absolutely perfect. NOTE! This hotel has a 3 mile running/walking paved path that is ocean side. I am a runner and it was just remarkable to take a jog and take in the scenery and people watching.
BOOK RIGHT AWAY!!!
YOU CANT MISS THIS!
Thank you Tonins! We are booking next year now... : )

Having seen the resort built, I was curious to stay and check it out. The rooms were clean and the view was great. Being on the top floor it was very quiet as well-some other resorts you can hear people walking around above so we really desire top floors. The screen door gets blown by the wind and the "scorpion" on the top is broken. I asked a maintance man at the resort and he said this is common with the door. In the Master bath one of the overhead lights comes on when you turn the lights on and then quickly goes out. The fridge ice maker was broken, and was being repaired after our departure. The owners were very nice about communicating with us and took good care of us and our concerns. I would definately reccommend renting this unit as it is stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and for beach/pool supplies. Dukes provides food/beverage service at the pool as well. Book it, you wont be disapointed!

we had a great time in Maui and H605 was the perfect condo. The location is wonderful - overlooking the best pool, great ocean view, close to Duke's (if you didn't make a reservation, you can look down and see how long the wait is for dinner!) The unit is in a great spot on the property - right by an elevator that will take you down to the pool, or to the underground parking. There are a few parking spots way back in the corner that no one seems to notice and are really close to the elevator, so it's almost as if we had reserved parking. The kids also loved the middle pool with the slide and waterfalls - and one rainy afternoon the whole family enjoyed the waterslide, including my 67-year-old dad. The condo was well-equipped and we loved the beach gear, including chairs, coolers, boogies boards, and 2 snorkels. we rented some fins and additional snorkels for the week.

This condo and resort was amazing. We chose it based on the wonderful reviews and we are so glad we did. Bruno was so responsive and Candice greeted us so warmly. She was just a text away and offered up so many sight seeing suggestions and places to eat. We took in a Luau, went surfing and took an amazing Road to Hana tour with Candices help.
The resort catered to our needs for gluten free options and coffee in their cafe and the pools and beach were pristine. If you are looking for a well kept condo with things like a washer and dryer, boogie boards, sand toys (we left ours😊), beach chairs, coolers, towels and even sunscreen for your tan (we stocked this😊) then this is the place for you.
Don't hesitate to book. It is worth every penny!
