Awesome view, great amenities, and the property manager is very responsive. We even had sea turtles swimming right outside and whales in the morning! Would 10/10 recommend, and I will be staying here again!

We absolutely loved staying in the Honu House. It lived up to its name as we definitely saw turtles. Wendy was so attentive with all of our questions and needs. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to return soon.

Wendy was so gracious and accommodating as a host. Great communication throughout.
The unit itself - the pics speak for themselves. It was like being in an overwater bungalow - we were maybe 10-15’ from the water. We watched each day as dozens of sea turtles passed directly in front of us beer the water’s edge. Beautiful view and sunsets. We spend most of our time on the large lanai, but the living room and kitchen were nicely equipped and furnished. Perfect unit for a family of four.

Spectacular views and spacious condo with all the amenities needed for a wonderful stay. Waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was therapeutic and peaceful. Every sunset from this spot was amazing. We saw so many turtles from the balcony and were able to jump in the water and snorkel right in front of condo.
The bedrooms are spacious and the beds were comfortable. The location is prime and near shops, cafes, supermarkets, and beaches.
We love Maui and hope to come back next year and stay in this condo as the location, view and comfort of the condo will be hard to beat. Thank you to Wendy (owner) for allowing us to book your condo. We will return!

This property was everything we expected and more! The home is clean and beautifully decorated. The lanai is lovely and the views amazing. The lanai feels like the balcony of a cruise ship with the ocean right beneath you. We enjoyed watching the sea turtles from the lanai and then swimming with them. It was a wonderful stay and we can’t wait to return. Would most definitely stay in this property again!

Unit was a bit dated, but very clean and comfortable. The unit could not have been closer to the water! Listening to the waves while watching sunset and sunrise and while falling asleep was wonderful. We loved the amazing views and thoroughly enjoyed watching all the sea turtles while sitting on the deck.

The view of the expansive ocean is breathtaking! Best unit around, right up on the water! Very private and quiet. We loved every moment from the sunsets, to the waves, to the turtles and birds! Thank you Wendy for sharing your piece of paradise with us! The Oberly family

Property was ocean view location with all the needs for our group (4 adults). Saw whales from the lanai early one morning. It met all our needs for relaxing and preparing for each day’s adventure. Host was top notch and everything went well. Five stars is not enough! Will visit again next time in Maui!

Fantastic experience with Wendy, super responsive and beautiful condo, very clean and well maintained! Watching whales and turtles or just simply sitting and taking in the view from the lanai was our favorite thing to do. Knowing there was no AC I was a bit afraid we’d be too warm, however we were completely comfortable the entire stay and the breezes were plentiful. We loved leaving the doors opened and sleeping to the sound of the waves. We hope to be back one day!

Nice location. It was humid during our stay and was not aware there was no AC. Also if there is a $100 fee for moving the patio furniture, the table should be placed centered under the fan.

The views of the ocean on the wrap around porch were just wonderful! We watched turtles everyday! The condo was as described. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well appointed. We appreciated the fans as the unit, like many in Hawaii, is not air conditioned.

We love Hale Ono Loa. We have stayed in all of the 09's with the exception of 109. My only suggestion would be it needs a pull-out couch. My fault for not noticing it did not have when booking like the other units 409, 309, and 109, so that was a bit difficult with 2 teen age kids. We did find an air mattress that definitely helped the situation but would suggest an electrical pump vs the manual one provided. Nevertheless, this place provides the most breath-taking views. It's the perfect place for our getaway to Maui. Thank you, Wendy, for providing such a magical place!

Great views, watching sea turtles swim by from the patio, ocean breeze and sound of waves crashing below. Access to beach gear was a nice convenience. Terrific place to stay!

Well, it's just about perfect. Sitting on the lanai and hearing and seeing the ocean so close is amazing. The condo was lovely and the kitchen fully stocked with everything. The sleeping accommodations were excellent and the beds were quite good. Everything made our trip relaxing and it was awe-inspiring watching the turtles swim around. The owner was responsive to an inquiry. The fans kept us comfortable. We are already hoping we can come back someday!

Couldn't have asked for more from this lovely two bedroom condo! Views from the wrap-around lanai, the turtles, close proximity to stores, restaurants, beaches made this a perfect location! Having amenities like beach umbrella, snorkeling equipment, cooler, beach towels and chairs made beach trips easy and enjoyable. The complex was very quiet, and the pool made for a lovely last dip before sunset.
This unit doesn't have a/c, but the ocean breezes were more than adequate (and preferred, actually). The owner provides fans, but we never used them. We were very comfortable without them! The owner was easy to communicate with and very friendly. This corner unit was the perfect location and we would defiantly stay here again!! Thank you for offering your little piece of heaven!!

Not possible to be closer to the ocean without a boat. Great whale watching from lanai. Owner was very responsive to any issues. Clean pool.

Very nice 2nd floor condo with sweeping views of the ocean. Loved all the whales that were having fun just off the shore.

A beautiful 2 bedroom/ 2 bathroom perfect for four adults. The corner unit offers a two-sided lanai with unlimited whale watching. I appreciated the convenience of the kitchen being close to the lanai and away from the bedrooms. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Location is convenient to stores in a very walkable neighborhood.
So very grateful that we were able to stay here! We will be back!

We finished up a week with the family and had a wonderful time. A great place to come back to at the end of a day out, or if the weather was bad was comfortable for a day of hanging out reading, etc. Really enjoyed the views from the Lanai with the waves, turtles, and occasional whale breaching, and all the beach supplies were a real plus. Snorkeling gear, chairs, towels, boogie board, cooler, and beach umbrella were enough for the 4 of us. Loved it!

This property is in an amazing location being just a few short minutes from everything you could need including grocery stores, the ABC store, down town Lahaina and the amazing Maui Fish Market.
The unit itself is one of the best on the property. With 180º views and you are literally on top of the ocean, with the reef and sea turtles on your doorstep every day.
The unit is extremely well stocked with amenities, especially the kitchen and the beach items with everything you could you possible need for your trip. Wendy was a great owner and communication was excellent.

This unit is at the very tip of the property which gives it the most amazing view imaginable. From the lanai you can easily spot turtles and whales (in season) and the sound of the surf is positively hypnotic. The property felt a bit "tired" but our experience was influenced by the cool, rainy weather we had which meant we had to spend a LOT of time in the unit. The owner was very responsive and check-in was easy.

The property was exactly as described. Clean and comfortable with a kitchen that had everything needed to prepare meals at home. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Mostly...the view!!! Second to none! We worked, ate and relaxed on the lanai. All day the view was spectacular. Snorkeled off the wall and saw turtles every day. 10am seemed to be their time to graze at the break-wall. Hope to stay here again in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Honu House. The views from the lanai were spectacular. Snorkel and beach gear were a definite plus. Would definitely stay again. Bring quarters if you plan to do laundry.

We have stayed at the Hale Ono Loa before, so we knew what fantastic ocean views were in store for us. We spent alot of time on the lanai, watching the turtles come and go. We had a fantastic time and would recommend this condo to families, couples and anyone into water sports.

We rented this property for the views and they did not disappoint. Sunrise and especially sunsets were spectacular. Sleeping with the sounds of the waves was also really great. The property itself was nicely appointed although the building and the unit are showing their age. There is no AC so it was a bit warm during the day, but fine at night. The location was great. Easy trip to Lahaina and Kaanapali. There is also great snorkeling and ocean access on the property although no beach. We saw loads of turtles from our balcony. If you love the views and can live with a somewhat dated building and unit, this is your place.

Our stay at HonuHouse was absolutely amazing. We loved our stay right on the water. Falling asleep to waves crashing right out the door was so peaceful. We arrived on Maui after spending a few days on Oahu and it was like going from the city to the country. We had busy and active to quiet and peaceful. We are grateful that we were able to stay in your piece of paradise.

We had the best time in Maui and the view of the ocean and turtles and rainbows and sunsets right from our very own balcony. This place is so special. The condo had everything we could ask for. So comfortable and all the extras for the beach was a great addition, no need to worry about chairs or coolers or bags it has everything. Thank you for the hospitality!!!

Our family of four just returned from spending a week in this stunning location, a special time of celebrating our two daughter's high school and college graduations. This is a beautiful VRBO, with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and clean and comfortable home away from home. As July is warmer, we appreciated all of the ceiling fans and floor fans which made it a comfortable temperature inside, along with the great breeze from the trade winds blowing through the open windows. The beach toys are fantastic! We used the two boogie boards, beach umbrella, four beach chairs and coolers almost every day of our stay. There is also snorkeling gear, but we had rented that upon our arrival so didn't use what was provided. The absolute BEST part of this home is the fabulous lanai. Trust me, you won't want to leave it. We enjoyed breakfast every morning and dinner almost every evening on this HUGE lanai. We told several friends that it is impossible to get any closer to the ocean in a condo than this lanai, and all of them said they didn't "get it" until they saw our photos. You are directly on the water. You can sit in a chair overlooking the water and watch turtles swim directly below you. I don't think there was ever a time where we looked out at the water and didn't see at least one turtle, and there were usually several. My husband and daughters even snorkeled one early evening from here, although they said they had to wait a few minutes for a turtle to move out of the way as it was blocking the stairs into the ocean. And the sunset from this lanai is incredible!! We picked up fresh ahi sashimi and ceviche from The Fish Market down the street and enjoyed it for dinner a couple of nights, no better place to enjoy just caught seafood than your own lanai! "Ocean View" location has taken on an entirely new meaning, I cannot imagine staying anywhere else on Maui after staying here, we've been spoiled by this location directly on the water!

First time to Maui did not disappoint. This location is the closest to the water providing a view of turtles, the sunset, and Moloka’i and Lanai. This is one of the few units with a wraparound lanai on 2 sides providing a great view. When then tide was down in then morning you could easily walk to a small beach area which was enough for us with bigger beaches just a short 5 minute drive away. The host offered beach chairs, snorkels, and all of the things you would want at the beach. The communication from Wendy was great and we encountered no problems and are already trying to figure out when we can come back.
