We all loved this condo. Lots of room for kids and adults. Close to pool and hot tub and easy walk to larger pools and beach. The kitchen has all the basic needs. Bedrooms and bathrooms were roomy and nice. Ate all our meals on the lani and loved hearing the birds. There were a few mosquitoes in the evenings.Would love to go back anytime

We had a great time at Honua Kai. Amazing property. Great view from the room. Saw lots of Whales jumping from the room. Went during spring break and the resort didn't seem that crowded. The pools and grounds were in great shape. The room had everything a higher end unit should have. Owner responded quickly to our questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Looooved this place! It was very spacious and had everything we needed for a weeks stay with the perfect view! The balcony is technically shared by the others on the floor but nobody ever came into our area so it didn’t bother us. We left our sliding doors open daily! The weather was perfect and the location was perfect! Easy check in and out instructions, quick response from epic to any of our questions. Overall GREAT stay!

We had the best time! This unit had an amazing view of the pool and ocean while also being low enough that we could enjoy the lani without worrying about our kids being on it. It was clean, luxurious and had all the extras we could possible need (laundry pods, coffee filters, soap, laundry detergent, beech toys and chairs etc). They also had access to the pool towel vending machines and underground garage which was so convenient bringing groceries and luggage up to the room. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed the size of our room for our family and having the kitchen. The property was lovely, although we found the pools were quite over crowded and we could never find loungers by the pool so never spent any time their.

Lovely property. Clean, spacious, beautiful views. Can easily sleep 6 comfortably. We appreciated the beach gear that was available to us. We look forward to coming back again one day.

The property's location was fantastic; it had easy electronic access, and the property management company was excellent. However, the actual unit showed some wear and the furniture was quite uncomfortable. The master shower was challenging to use because the door opens inward, making it nearly impossible to easily turn on the shower and enter the space. Additionally, the kitchen sink made a gurgling sound, and the second toilet ran periodically on its own.On a positive note, the beds and pillows were outstanding and very comfortable. Another advantage was the beach gear and the starter items provided for the kitchen, laundry, and showers. And electronic beach towel access was great!The lighting throughout the unit was dim, and the television package was heavily focused on sports.We encountered a problem when the refrigerator broke down, which forced us to rely on coolers, ice, and a temporary refrigerator. Unfortunately, we received a new one just the day before our departure. While we appreciated the credit we received, we did not receive compensation for the food that spoiled.After leaving the property, we received an email with checkout information, which left us unsure whether we had completed everything on the list.Overall, this property was very clean, although it did show some signs of wear. Despite the refrigerator issues, which the property management addressed promptly, we had a fantastic time.

We loved the Honua Kai! This unit was quiet and had a great view out on the lanai. We saw whales from our balcony! The resort was perfect for families. Our kids loved the various pools. One thing we really enjoyed is the location to the food truck park. We ate there about 5 times and felt the food was hands down the best out of everything we ate in Hawaii! Also the little shopping center across the street had a great pizza place and shaved ice! we loved our stay here. Thank you so much!

We had a great vacation using this property! The property owner was always very fast to respond. Having the resort amenities but the benefits of a condo with a kitchen and washer and dryer was so helpful for our family. They had everything we could need including beach chairs and a cooler and the location on the beach and near a grocery store was ideal!

We loved our unit - pool was very busy - spring break ! We spent our time mostly at the beach - great snorkeling!! Kids loved it so much! Checking in late at night - after midnight was challenging - only person able to help us was the outside concierge - he was polite but we had no map and had no idea how to get to parking and our room - it was 3:30 AM our time - some extra help would have been much appreciated- otherwise we had a lovely time!

Everything would have been perfect but the living room and kitchen area was so hot. I just wished they had told us the A/C was broken and portables was being used
Ross K.
March 2025

Everything was seamless, from checking in to accommodating any of our requests - very automated, easy and quick the way we like it. We were a group of 7 close friends, no one had any complaints which means success! The condo was clean, functioning, everything was advertised. We saw whales every day from the balcony, even had an amazing show on our first day when a family of them came up really close to give us a performance. We would return to the same spot.

We spontaneously decided to visit Maui and planned everything pretty last minute but was so very happy to find to find this gem. The property was beautiful, updated, well kept. My kids (ages 6 & 12) loved the pools, the slide and the beach. There was ton of animal activity from turtle to sea monks, it was so awesome to experience. Our condo was properly stocked with everything you could possibly need from all kitchen supplies to beach supplies. We loved sharing our meals on the gorgeous balcony. We saw so much whale activity from there. The master bedding was very comfortable. I will note the other room appears to be two twin mattresses pushed together which we found to be a bit uncomfortable and hard. Other than that, everything was fabulous. There is a restaurant on the property that is beach front, walking distance to an awesome food truck lot, grocery store and other restaurants. There is a shop on the property with basic necessities. We loved this property and would highly recommend returning.

We loved our time at this condo at Honua Kai! It was very clean. The beds were super comfy. We had tons of space to spread out! The view from the balcony is amazing. Our kids loved the location of the condo because of the easy access to the pool and beach! Would definitely recommend!

Always love staying at Houna Kai. Stay was wonderful with the exception of how long it takes to recieve service at the pool. The majority of staff is not friendly at Dukes and they round at the pool. Takes forever to get service. I was there for 18 days and this was very consistent through tour stay. If you walk to the bar - the bartenders are not friendly either.

The property was exceptional. We appreciate all the beach accessories (chairs, umbrellas, and coolers). The beach and the pool were easy to access. Duke restaurant was a bonus on property. The sunsets from the lanai were the best part. We had the most wonderful time.

Brought the entire family out for a week and we needed a place to be together and have some space. This place was ideal. Close to the beach and great snorkeling. Great restaurants all around. We truly enjoyed the place.

March 2025

We traveled with our four children ranging from 15 to 6. We chose this specific condo because it had two king size beds in the same room where all our children could sleep. The ground floor level and location of this condo was perfect. We didn’t have to use an elevator to get to our room and could easily walk straight out of the condo to the pools and to the beach.The condo was clean and just as pictured. It included many helpful extras like beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys. We will stay here again.

March 2025

We had a great time at this property. There was great space with the indoor/outdoor living space. Quiet stay without loud pumping music. The pools are great for kids. They were entertained all day with little effort. Snorkeling just beyond the pool at the beach. Reef and fish were easily spotted. Even sea turtles. Plenty of room to spread out and play catch on large areas of grass. It was a perfect vacation!

We couldn't have asked for a better First Maui VRBO experience.Thank you Joe! Midway through the trip we made the connection that Disney's Lilo & Stitch movie has a reference to 626. :) We thought it was fun, so our talented 14 year old artist drew Stitch in the Guestbook.The unit has all the comforts of home that a 1-bedroom unit can offer. We added an Air Fryer to the unit along with some air fryer liners, to make preparing meals that much easier for us and for future guests. You're welcome. :)Waking up to the sunrise over the West Maui Mountains was delightful. It took us a few tries but we finally found out the best place to park our vehicle in the underground parking garage (nearest the entrance). The onsite restaurant (Duke's) was a great place to grab takeout from --- the steak tacos and burger were yummy.We enjoyed the pools and hot tub afterdark (tip: they close at 10) and enjoyed some stargazing on the beach, taking in the nightsky after our eyes were adjusted to tiki torch lit walkways.Having 3 beach chairs in the unit with a beach umbrella was a nice touch. These items are used and show their age --- so adjust your expectations.Overall we were very happy staying there and looked forward to coming home each time. Until next time!

The condo was spotless and stocked with some of the essentials like beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards. Kitchen was also nicely appointed with dishes, glasses, mugs, coffee maker. Also a bonus to have a small supply of plastic wrap foil and spices. The owners were excellent communicators well. Highly recommend renting this unit.
