Everything from booking months ago to checking out was seamless. The Wilsons were extremely helpful and quick to respond; even checking in to make sure we got there and asked if we needed anything. The unit was exactly as described and had everything we needed. The photos are what you get but even better! This specific unit is located in such a perfect spot with regards to the pool, beach and elevator to the parking garage making our daily routines very easy.
This was our first VRBO experience and it literally could not have gone any smoother! Absolutely zero apprehension recommending this place to family and friends.

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 loved everything about our stay in this beautiful unit. The property was big enough for our family of 6 to live comfortably, we had a full kitchen that we used for breakfast and lunches, a beautiful lanai, gorgeous view of both the mountains and the ocean, extra sheets and towels, a washer/dryer and basic cleaning and home supplies. Everything was spotless and of high quality materials. It was a high end resort experience without the high end resort prices. The property also has a restaurant on site, a convenience store with really good coffee, multiple pools, a lazy river and a water slide. Short walk to other restaurants and the food truck park The owners were wonderful and very quick to respond any time we needed something! We can’t wait to return!!

Al was so responsive and the amenities of his home and the location were amazing. I think its the best vacation with kids or even for yourself. We did not want to go anywhere else and we saw turtles on the beach out front. It was a dreamy stay.

The unit was perfect! Nice view, great location within the resort. Al & Suzanne were very helpful and provided info before we realized we needed it. We really appreciated their tips and suggestions document - very helpful and added benefit to our time there. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms was ideal for family of four. Looking forward to our next visit to Maui!

Our family of 4 loved our stay at Al and Suzanne‘s place in Lahaina. The communications were all friendly, welcoming, clear, and thorough — making everything easy. The condo is lovely, with amenities on par with a first class luxury resort. You can’t beat sunsets on the beach right outside the door! We hope to return.

We stayed at Al and Suzanne's condo for 11 days with our 2 toddlers (ages 3 and 1) and had a fantastic time! The condo was well equipped with everything we need to cook for our family. It was very spacious and the layout worked great for our family (and would also work perfectly for 2 couples!). The view was even better in person than pictured! We ate several meals out on the balcony as a family. The pictures were extremely accurate. They even had a closet full of beach chairs, snorkeling gear, kids sand toys, boogie boards, and a cooler for beach fun! The resort was great too! The 4 pools and several hot tubs were great for variety. Duke's on the property was also fantastic! We'd definitely book this condo again!

Property was absolutely better than described- the view from the lanai was gorgeous- sunsets included. Our Hosts were very easy to communicate with. The condo had all the comforts of home and more! Pool and beach were easily accessible and so beautiful! Duke’s restaurant was delicious and laid back! Grocery and local food within walking distance! Snorkeling right off the beach was even better than our trip to Molikini! Highly recommend this property for families of any age!

This is our second time staying at Honua Kai and we absolutely loved Al’s unit! The unit is nice in the pictures but it is even better in person. The unit was spacious with a great floor plan. It felt like there were two primary suites both with a spacious bathroom with double sinks. The unit was also squeaky clean, bed were comfortable, all necessities were stocked including beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs, and sun umbrella. Beach views from the lanai were the best! Al was super quick to respond with any questions we had.
Oh, beach out front was calm and beautiful with amazing sunsets! We did not snorkel at this location but we saw plenty of folks snorkeling. We’ll have to check it out next time. :)

We have never used VRBO before and had heard some horror stories about it. That was not the case here. Al and Suzanne's unit is awesome! Very clean and the views from the balcony are fabulous! They are very easy to work with and the information that they gave us helped us find great restaurants in things to do! Our next trip, I will be contacting them again! The resort is beautiful! Duke's Restaurant is awesome!

We loved staying in this unit. The patio had views of the water and the ocean, the unit was well-appointed and lovely, and the owners were very responsive and helpful. The Honoa Kai resort was beautiful, and more quiet than the hotels down the road. It was so nice to stay someplace that didn't have music blaring from the pool area.

Al and Susan are great hosts! The lanai was closed for part of our stay due to a building painting project that was beyond their control and Al and Susan were very forthright and accommodating to help us have a great stay.

The property was as advertised, very clean, spacious, well appointed, and only steps from the pool and beach. The surrounding area had a grocery store, restaurants, food trucks, and a couple shops. I highly recommend the food trucks! Whaler Village was just a few miles down the road and Lahaina was just a few more. The staff was nice and Duke's was great!

My family and I stayed here for 2 nights on our recent trip to Maui and had a wonderful experience! We had our two kids with us (ages 2yo and 6yo), and had them in one bedroom while my husband and I took the other room. The condo was clean and comfortable, and communication with the owner was excellent. The resort is also beautiful and very family friendly. I wish we were able to stay longer! We will definitely book again the next time we return to Maui :)

This vacation property will give you a 5 star stay experience. The grounds and amenities were beautiful. The kids in our group were entertained and couldn't wait for each day to start so they could spend time at the pool or beach. Duke's Restaurant on site provided server service in the pool area grounds. The condo was well maintained and clean. The layout of the condo was very well thought out with a large great room area, nice kitchen facilities, and 2 large bedrooms with large attached baths. Our hosts were very attentive and checked with us a few times to insure everything was okay. I would recommend this property to my friends and family and I would stay here again in a minute.

Overall, our experience was a great one! The Honua Kai resort is a fantastic place to stay, whether you’re visiting as a family or are a couple wanting to relax. The pools are amazing, and the poolside service is great! I will say that the beach at the resort is a bit rocky when you first get in. Another plus to the resort is that they provide you with beach towels!
This resort is close to great snorkeling and awesome Lu’au and excursion options. I do wish there was more food options, but that definitely isn’t a knock on the hosts, just location.
The condo itself is very spacious, and perfect for 4-5 people to fit comfortably. Having a washer in unit is very convenient. We did have an issue when we first checked in with cleanliness, but the hosts were very quick to make it right, which we appreciated. Something I think would be more helpful is to provide more body towels, and extra blankets. The balcony is superb and the view is beautiful! My family and I would definitely stay at this property again. Thank you!

Had a great time at the resort and the suite was very nice. Al let us know when our room was ready and checked up on us one more time during our trip. Pool chairs were really not an option unless you went out early, but we mainly went to the beach.

We stayed in their condo for two nights & really enjoyed having the beach chairs & the hard sided cooler available for us. So many people visiting the Island right now we were happy to be able to set up on the beach with our teenage boys. Kitchen had everything we needed & made breakfast & snacks a breeze. Great hosts, great communication. Would definitely stay again!

This condo fit our expanded family needs perfectly. The resort is one of the newest in Kaanapali and has all the amenities. The condo is well equipped and has a super lanai for outdoor eating. All and Suzanne are super hosts and go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need to make it a great trip. I would highly recommend it!

Have stayed in Ka'anapali area on a number of occasions. This condo rental has it all. Comfortable, quiet and well cared for. Owners supply beach gear = ++$avings; fully equipped kitchen precluding trips to store for incidentals; no hidden fees/surprises, as quoted rates are all inclusive- parking in garage is super convenient with an option to park outside; convenient to restaurants, shopping and those early morning walks; wonderful lanai to enjoy freshly brewed coffee.
Resort itself is beautiful with a friendly vibe. It is Hawaii! Owners Al and Suzanne keep Aloha spirit alive by keeping you well informed from time one: suggestions for things to do, places to go, restaurants to try. An "owner's manual" is provided and my wife was surprised that I actually read the instructions. Would highly recommend. Thanks Al and Suzanne

Condo is perfect for 2 couples or a family, had all the beach toys needed to snorkel or sit at the beach and make sand castles! Condo is well equipped should you want to prepare meals there. Al and his wife were more than accommodating, he contacted us with in a few hours of our arrival. The suggestion sheet he sends out a week prior is very helpful, there is also one at the condo. Overall very pleased with everything! Swimming is not the greatest immediately out front, lots of rocks, but is much better a few steps south in front of the Westin! Would definitely stay there again! Al and Suzanne, Thank you for sharing your lovely second home!

Condo has everything you need. Great place for families or 2 couples with having master suites on each side. Resort is beautiful. Lots of activities restaurants and shopping close by. Our only downfall is that there is no security in the resort parking lot and we had a brand new car that someone keyed. I filed a report with the resort but they didn’t seem very concerned. Thanks Al for sharing your home with us. We hope to come back soon!

This was our third stay in this lovely condo. It’s a wonderful place to step into after 24 hours of travel. It’s comfortable, quiet and clean. Now that the construction next door is finished, the lanai is a beautiful addition to the living area. We were able to sit outside and watch the sunset, which can be quite awesome! The owner, Al, is easy to work with and checked in with us to make sure everything was satisfactory. The resort itself is fabulous. All these things make it hard to stop coming back again and again.

What a great vacation spot. Just wrapped up a week staying at this fantastic spot. Absolutely perfect for our family of 4 (2 teenage boys). While there really is no need to leave the resort (as it has everything you need) the concierge was very helpful with restaurants, whale watching, zip lining and a luau.
Had breakfast and coffee on the balcony every morning, beautiful.
Al and Suzanne provided all the information we needed, checked in on us and were available as needed.
Would definitely book again!!! Fantastic space and great family memories.

This condo was a perfect place to call "home" during our Maui get away! It is beautifully appointed...beds beyond comfortable (which is so needed after that long flight!), and everything you could need. Very clean - and I am picky on this front. Absolutely no complaints! Al & his wife offered a perfect spot for our couples get away (2 couples). We loved sitting on the Lanai (wish we would've had more time for this...we had a short trip so we were mostly sight-seeing); large spacious pool and hot tubs (which we used almost nightly); decent on-site restaurant and close to so much in Lahania. The on-site staff were all very friendly. Access to the parking garage allowed us to park our rental car right next to the elevator for easy access to the condo. Al was very responsive before/during the booking process and in preparation for our trip. You won't be disappointed with a stay here. Thank you Al! We would return in a heartbeat!!!

Let me start with the most important factor in a sucessfull experience. Communication! That's exactly what Al and Susan did throughout the entire process. It was seamless. The condo is better than discribed and exceeded our expectations. You get the feeling they put heart and soul into the property and want their guest to experience what they do. Take the weather, location, resort features and environment and you have the makings for a venture of a lifetime. I traveled with my wife and 2 young adult sons. The unit is equipped with with everything you need as well as things you didn't yet know needed. The kitchen is equipped to prepare meals as if you were home. We started the trip at costco and shopped enough to prepare about half our meals at home. The outdoor grills helped to enhance the experience. Most meals we ate out were good but pricey(you are in maui). Definitely spend some time on tripadvisior to prepare for your venture. The pools were beautiful and the beach as well. We snorkled every day from the beach and found the snorkeling great. Fantastic voyage

Our family of 6 (2 adults, 4 kids ages 8-15) enjoyed our time immensely at Al and Suzanne's condo at the Honua Kai Resort. The suite itself was very well stocked (towels, blankets, pillows, kitchen items) and was very clean and presentable when we arrived. Some added bonuses were: the beach gear available in the condo(snorkel items, boogie boards, beach chairs, sand toys); Al and Suzanne's detailed list of things to do/see/places to eat in Maui (that was sent to us a week in advance) and the easy check in at our time of arrival. The condo's location within the resort is perfect...close to the elevator, garbage chute, and a short walk to the pools and BBQ area. We would most certainly stay here again. Thank you to Al and Suzanne for being very gracious; making sure all of our needs were taken care of.

Our family of 6 (2 adults + 4 kids' ages 6-15) stayed in Honua Kai 212 for two full weeks during our family vacation in Maui and LOVED it. We will stay here again next time we visit Maui and will recommend to all our friends and family.
The Honua Kai Resort
* Location is fantastic - right in the middle of Kaanapali
* Only 10 minutes North of Lahaina
* Only 10-20 minutes South of the several great beaches on the North shore
* Walking distance (1.5 miles) from Black Rock
* Walking distance (0.5 miles) from Kahekili Beach (fantastic snorkeling)
* The beach adjacent to the resort is very nice and is only a 60 second walk from room-to-beach
* Fresh water shower on property near the beach
* Kids LOVED the pools and the waterslide - swam most days day after several hours on the beach
* Resort grounds are immaculate and meticulously groomed
* Great walking trail behind the resort that runs all the way down to Black Rock
The K212 Condo
* The condo is clean and in good repair
* Has all the basic facilities needed for a real "home away from home"
* Has two full bathrooms, which is almost a necessity for a large family
* Close to the elevator and garbage chute
* Underground parking is VERY convenient
* We LOVED the lanai with accordion doors - ate breakfast out there every morning
* Kids loved Disney Channel
* Beds were sufficient and comfortable
* Condo includes beach towels, cooler, 4 boogie boards, 4 beach chairs, and an umbrella
* The owners were very responsive to the few issues we had
The ONLY complaint we had was there were no extra blankets for the sofa bed. To be fair we never mentioned this to the owners, and I'm certain if we had they would have resolved it quickly.
Also, the owners left a detailed list of recommendations for activities and restaurants, which was really useful. We followed several of their suggestions and had great experiences with them all around.
