We’ve stayed at Honua Kai a few times and this was by far our best experience! The unit was very nice and well kept. The perfect size for our family of 5. Being on the ground floor with kids is so much easier. Communication before our arrival and during our stay was the best I’ve ever experienced with a short term rental. We hope we’ll be lucky enough to stay here again!

We loved our stay in this unit. The building amenities are fantastic, there are several excellent beaches within walking distance, and a convenient grocery store/food truck lot. We highly recommend this stay.

The property was beautiful. We were able to swim with sea turtles and snorkel directly from the beach in front of the hotel. My daughter loved the pools and the waterslide. The pool side service from Dukes was excellent.

The condo has everything you need for your stay. It has been very well kept up and for its age is in excellent condition. Joe was great to work with and was very responsive. We had an overall great experience.

Room set up and view of property is excellent. Resort is wonderful. Room was not fully prepared for our arrival...missing bedding for pull out bed. Called the property manager office and Mel picked up. She was not at all helpful and said we had to wait until the next day which was not acceptable. Within 15 minutes of talking to her someone else called me and was very helpful and had a very kind man deliver the bedding within an hour. Additionally, the room does still have cockroaches as of June 2024 as stated in a past visitors review from Dec 2023. This was not ok.

Good location close to the beaches and pools. Not a big fan of cockroaches and there were many in the unit. They did treat the unit while we were there but there were just as many as before they sprayed. Other than that a good place to stay.

We were very happy with the space and amenities offered at this property! We were a bit apprehensive about the "shared lanai," but while it may not offer the privacy other units might have, it worked well for us. If you don't like soft beds, this might not be the place for you. Probably the softest bed I've ever slept on. Loved the folding doors to open up to the lanai! Also, great privacy inside with bedrooms on opposite ends of unit with very few shared walls.

This unit was perfect for our family of 4. We've stayed at Honua Kai multiple times and this was the best unit yet. With 2 full masters plus en suites, there was plenty of room for all. The unit was well stocked and had everything we needed. The property manager (Monty) was very easy to work with and was prompt with responses/fixes. The fridge & freezer actual stopped cooling due to a failed part and Monty had a tech there and fixed within 3hrs, super impressive! Being east facing, the unit is quiet and you get a nice view of the ocean. Will look at staying here again!

Great value. Good size for our family of 4. The beach chairs and cooler were great to use. It was nice being on the 7th floor and near the elevator. View is good of the mountains. The property is fun with all the pools and easy access to the beach. Improvements: Listing said the king bed could be made into 2 twins. Housekeeping said this was not possible. We made it work, but was inconvenient. The kitchen has items, but is not well stocked (only salt and pepper), pots and pans are adequate, not temporary storage ware, foil, wrap, bags. Parking lines in the garage need to be repainted.

Wonderful property in an unbeatable location.

June 2024

Honua Kai was the perfect location for our family trip to Maui! We had 8 people ranging in ages from 18 to 72. The resort is beautiful and has so many amenities! We had the plenty of room to spread out and not feel like we were tripping over one another even with 8 adults! The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed to cook meals. Between the beach, many pools, and open green spaces there was something for everyone. Having a general store on property was very convenient when we realized we needed something. Guest services were amazingly quick to respond with any questions and needs we had. Our only complaint would be the in unit dryer. It took HOURS to dry small loads. With 8 people, we had a lot of laundry. Although the dryer was frustrating, we would absolutely stay there again! 10/10 recommend!

Our stay at the villa in Maui was nothing short of spectacular, offering breathtaking pool views and luxurious amenities that met our expectations. The location was perfect, providing easy access to pristine beaches, vibrant local markets, and access to moped rentals. The attentive and friendly staff ensured that our every need was met, making our vacation truly unforgettable.

This property was exactly what we were looking for. Access to resort amenities (pool, gym, beach access) while having a full kitchen to make a few meals. Also had access to community grills and were right by a local grocery store.

We had the best week here for our first trip to Maui! The grounds were beautiful, pools were great and very quick access to the beach. The beach chairs and cooler were a bonus! Our only complaint was we asked for the king to be split into twin beds for our two boys and it wasn’t done before arrival and when I sent a message when we got there they never came to do it. It didn’t ruin our week and we will definitely stay here if we come again! Thanks

Had our first officially “family vacation” here with all our kids and their significant others, and our new grandson. We had a blast! We had two units to accommodate the 9 of us and it was perfect. Having a full kitchen (2 actually) was great! Very clean and organized, comfortable beds huge bathrooms. Combined in total we had 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 4 showers and 3 bathtubs… It was the PERFECT place to host a large family gathering. The Guest Services was exceptionally responsive, helped arrange shuttles for airport transportation that came along with the Ohana package. The recreation is amazing with multiple pools, hot tubs to enjoy as well as towel dispensers, and the restaurant on property, Dukes, is amazing. Centrally located on Kaanapali Beach you can walk north or south and experience other resorts and places to dine drink and enjoy yourself. Also super convenient that you can catch the Maui Bus and walk to the Times market and pick up groceries as needed. The walk to the market is no more than 10 minutes and we did it multiple times during our stay. We will absolutely be back. I’m already looking at booking our return trip. Thank you for an amazing vacation and tons of memories.

Wonderful experience from beginning to end. I had some questions regarding the unit prior to arrival and received prompt replies. The check in process was easy, and staff were helpful and friendly. Enjoyed my morning coffee on the patio with the ocean view to my right, and beautiful greenery to my left. The unit was clean, spacious and the kitchen was definitely loved. We will definitely be coming back!! Mahalo for a fantastic vacation!

We had a wonderful time here. Chris made everything so easy. He was always in communication when we had questions. His place was well-stocked with all the beach supplies we could think of. It has a beautiful view and off both the ocean and mountains. So many rainbows to see! And we could eat together outside on the balcony. Everyone, including our teen daughter and 86 year old Mom had a wonderful time. Thanks so much Chris! Cynthia

We had an excellent stay in this beautiful unit. The photos do not demonstrate the truly gorgeous view you will experience when staying in this suite! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was reasonably equipped with just about anything you might need to bake or cook, and the property is well kept. Our kids had fun in the pools and beach! Thank you for the boogie boards, Tommy Bahama chairs and beach umbrella! I really like the fact that the grocery store is close by, so if you’re planning to do some grocery shopping while here it’s not difficult to pick up items (especially if you’ve forgotten something). There’s also an organic farmers store (to purchase local fruit and vegetables as well as tasty dips, salsas and other food) up the street and a fish shop if you’re into that kind of thing. We love this spot on the island and plan to keep coming back! Mahalo Maui Westside properties!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We absolutely love staying at this resort and this time was even better. The room was beautiful and spacious, especially with the extra den that really made a huge difference. Also, the mountain view was so stunning. We had double rainbows multiple times a day and it was absolutely gorgeous!Every beautiful as the ocean view. The unit came with everything we needed. We were perfectly comfortable and everything was lovely. Of course the resort and location is absolutely wonderful! We took a trip to find snorkeling then came back to the resort and snorkeled right here and found all the same stuff including more turtles!! All the pools are wonderful and clean and beautiful and my son spent lots of time chasing geckos. We also really love the feral cat community that comes out in the evening to say hello. This is hands down our favorite place to stay in Maui and we will definitely be coming back. We are already planning our trip for next summer!!

Before we even arrived in Maui, we had several commuications with the owner, which was incredibly helpful.They sent a instructions and recommendations for restaurants and activities. When we checked into the condo, everyone in our group wandered through the rooms, yelling ,"Wow! This place is great! Are you sure we're supposed to be here?" It truly was beautiful and well-appointed. Multiple pools, a quick store, fitness room and much more was available as a guest of the condo. Definitely a fantastic place to stay and I highly recommend it!!

We just returned from an action-packed, bucket list vacation in beautiful Maui. We were very pleased with our accommodations at Al and Suzanne’s place in Honua Kai. The condo was as described and provided everything we needed for an ideal stay. Beds were extremely comfortable, the lanai provided gorgeous views and there was plenty of space for the 4 of us. We were slightly disappointed that the king bed could not be separated as noted in the original listing, but we were made aware of this change prior to our travels. I was also a bit disappointed to learn that the Aina Gourmet Market had closed permanently… but the Whaler’s Market in the adjacent tower was open as a reasonably close alternative. The grounds at the resort were beautiful and extremely well manicured. The beach was fantastic and it was soooo convenient to have it on site. We ate at Duke’s a few times and it was fantastic (I would definitely recommend making reservations on OpenTable in advance if you are planning on dining during dinner hours, otherwise expect a wait). The food truck park was extremely easy to access and provided many options for our varying palates. If we were to return to Maui, I would 100% stay here again. Location was great. Communication was great and we were so appreciative to our hosts for a wonderful stay. Thank you!!!

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!

Our family of four, including two kids aged 13 and 11, had an unforgettable stay at this Maui vacation property. The early check-in was a much-appreciated convenience that set a positive tone for our vacation. Highlights: • Location: The beachfront location is unbeatable. We loved snorkeling and were thrilled to see several turtles. • Amenities: The pools were fantastic and well-maintained, with a handy towel service. • Condo: The condo was perfect for us. It allowed us to cook simple meals, and the kids had space to spread out. Our 11-year-old enjoyed the pullout sofa in the living room, while our 13-year-old appreciated the den as a separate space. • Dining and Shopping: Duke’s was great and convenient for meals, and the lobby market was a lifesaver. We especially loved the fresh poke available on M, W & F. Lots of great restaurants nearby. Room for Improvement: • We’d love an actual bed in the den, as the pullout sofa was not very comfortable for our 13-year-old and woulnd't be suitable for an adult • Parking: Parking was occasionally tricky. One evening, there were no spaces available, so we used valet. The valet was late reopening the next morning, causing a stressful situation. After several frantic calls, a security person from another tower helped us retrieve our key, and we found the car on our own. This incident almost caused us to miss our prepaid excursion. Overall, fantastic!

This beach was our favorite location for sunsets! We had a little hiccup w/room being ready on time, but the management was very responsive and gracious offering compensation. Unit was lovely, very comfortable all around, especially the bedding. My kids loved the long, heavy decorative pillows for dividing the 2nd king bed. Our only nitpick was that the AC turned itself off after 10 mins, even though it wasnt cooled to the set point: 70 degrees. Fortunately it never got too hot outdoors during our stay. The unit was equipped w/beach essentials: soft cooler, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and a couple of snorkel masks. A shame Lahaina restaurants are no longer anchoring the food scene, but you wont starve.

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!!

We love our stay at honua kai perfect for our family with little kids. My 4 yr old loves the pools and hot tubs. It’s close to whalers village and grocery stores. We stayed on lower level and enjoyed our view and big space for kids to play around. Overall we love our Time and will recommend it

This property is spectacular! The complex is upscale and everyone is friendly. We snorkeled right off the beach in addition to the other hot spots around the island and the reef here was almost as nice. The kids swam with sea turtles everyday. I would highly recommend this property and cant wait to return someday.
