From the booking to the checkout communication was clear and efficient. This is not a resort and as long as you know this you’ll be very happy! The unit was clean and in beautiful shape. The view from the balcony was amazing. Whenever we ate in we ate dinner on the balcony with a sunset view over the ocean!

This is a relaxing community that supports kids, families and couples want to enjoy calmness. The BBQs are set at the best location for the view and provide all the BBQ supplies. Brought my family of 5 and was not disappointed one time. Great location to stores access to the roads.

A great experience. We reserved the same unit on the same week next year. There were more tropical fish than I had hoped for, and of course all of the turtles. The kitchen was well equipped.

The location of this condo is very specially located right on a quiet cove that hosts beautiful fish and lots of turtles who come rest up on the rocks! Easy snorkeling for me, a beginner! Get cold? Hop in the warm pool! Or lay on the many lounges on the grass. Just a beautiful place, with lots of friendly and loyal guests who return every year. Watched the whale action from the balcony, too! Beds were comfortable. Outfitted with kitchen and snorkeling gear!

Honokeana is definitely my happy place! When I arrive and go out on the lanai and take in the view, such a sense of calm and joy comes over me! We stayed in a different unit this year and there were a few things missing. The kitchen didn't have a good serving bowl or wine opener. We did appreciate the tupperware, but there were no measuring cups (one large mixing bowl with amounts on the side) and the knives were pretty dull. A workman came to try to fix the ceiling light/fan in the master bedroom, but was unsuccessful. One of the cabinets was missing its knob. All these were little things, but I do hope they were just small oversights, not a change in management efficiency. But I wouldn't trade the view with any of the high-dollar resorts on the island! The whales and turtles, the proximity to good beaches and great dining and the beautifully kept pool and grounds make Honokeana the place I want to return to year after year.

Reviewer Comments:
Beautiful Ocean bay location. All units have a wonderful Ocean view. Onsite manager and gardener take great care of the complex. Our unit was clean and a great fit for our family:) We were a family of four Adults. We all had a wonderful time. Perfect location and feel for us:). Only things I would want next renters to know in advance is that this unit had a small TV that is not a smart TV. The other would be that the complex has a fence around it but there is not one around the pool. We were very happy there was not one around the pool it would have taken away from the view and old Hawaiian carefree feel but anyone staying with young children take note you can walk straight from your bottom unit into the pool etc. Again we were very happy it was not fenced and believe parents need to be responsible for watching their children 24/7 it’s just a heads up to parents of little ones.

Photos don’t do Honokeana Cove justice - it’s exquisitely beautiful, with views to die for, turtles bobbing around in the Cove and basking on the shore, immaculate gardens. We loved every minute of our stay here - if only it was a bit closer to home for us! Our condo #212 was comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, it was clean and the lanai was a lovely place to eat each evening. The breezes and ceiling fans kept us cool - we didn’t miss having air conditioning. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Beautiful location, grounds well kept. Unit 212 is old and needed updating. Screens were blown out on slider, slider squeaked, closet doors fell off, bathroom door squeaked and did not close completely, light bulbs missing in bathroom, louver windows did not close, fridge was really, really noisy, wall mirrors were stained due to age, walls were dirty and needed to be repainted, there is no ac, ceiling fans needed maintenance - random squeaking noises at all speeds, curtains did not block out lights from grounds at night, no bathroom products provided beyond bar soap. Really difficult to get a good nights sleep here due to the lights and constant noise - from fans, from fridge, from road.

First came 40 years ago. Rented this unit last year and commented that things were a little 'tired'. Bedding in downstairs BR could be nicer. Don't think I'll rent this unit again.

As stated property is old style Hawaiian! We LOVED it! if you love to snorkel with turtles and a wide variety of fish, this is the place to stay! my only comment with this particular condo, is that if you are a light sleeper the nearby traffic might keep you awake at night. Betty and Su are absolutely fabulous. You couldn't ask for better customer service, Mahalo to you both! See you next year!

Reviewer Comments:
This was our 5th time staying here and we stayed for New Years in 2019.Probably going to be our last time. It has been an amazing place to stay with beautiful lawn and the cove so close. However, since the pandemic, no PooPoo Wednesday, no NewYears BBQ, New Years Eve sounded like a war zone, almost like pipe bombs going off- whizzing in the bushes nearby, for 5 hours around the neighborhood. Can’t control the neighborhood, I know. Just sayin’- if you decide to book New Years.The Aloha was lacking. Our unit was woeful. I know the owner just passed but it was dirty, 1/2 a roll of paper towels, two dish clothes, no dish rags, lack of plastic cups to take to the pool, no cleaning supplies to clean countertops or the filthy lanai table. Finally found the broom in the upstairs clothes closet. Beach towels were worn with holes in them. LOTS of little kids. We arrived to about 20 littles with a family reunion running around the lawn, having a very good time. Okay. I like kids, but it wasn’t peaceful like I remembered. It’s a family place,our timing was off, toys all over the lawn. Check in 4pm -check out 10 am (seems early) Overall it’s a magical place, but tourist still wear sunscreen that they bring from home, the reef is dying and it’s so sad. I think Honokeana Cove needs to educate and sell mineral sunscreen in the office. Put up some signed letting people know what sunscreen is doing. It’s like you all agree but continue to do nothing to make it better. The Pandemic didn’t help at all. But come on folks don’t lose your edge. Definitely some units better than others. I would read the reviews carefully instead of just taking what they have available.PS: went to the Old Lahaina Luau. Last time as well......food just not up to snuff anymore. Dancers still amazing, beautiful and talented. George Kahumoku show is awesome and down home Aloha. Recommend.Sea Maui whale watching. Go

This was the second time we have stayed here,and will definitely NOT be the last. The unit was nice with old Hawaiian charm & updated amenities.The loft can get a bit WARM with only a ceiling fan.But the view was spectacular,the grounds immaculate,the snorkeling FANTASTIC. The only problem we see with it is keeping this gem a SECRET,selfishly for ourselves. Mahalo!!

We have been coming to the cove for over 5 years now! Unit 212 is in a great location! Perfect amount of sun and shade for warmer days! Very quiet too! This unit has everything we needed! We cook almost all our meals there! The king size bed was very comfortable! Just as good as our bed at home! The view was perfect just over looking grass, pool and peeking thru the palm trees! Plenty of privacy too! But in the mix at the same time!Ray and his crew keep the property emaculate! Su and Betty keep the property running!! They are like a second family to us! We look forward to our return next year!

Our family of three stayed at Honokeana Cove over Easter break with another family who stayed in unit 211. It is a absolutely wonderful location, featuring fantastic snorkeling in the cove with a large number of turtles, and a short walk to Napili beach for swimming.The facility is meticulously maintained by an onsite ground manager daily. While our unit is an older renovation (hence the 4 stars for condition), the beds were good and everything worked as expected. We did have a problem with the dishwasher, but the management company had a repair person out to fix the problem that very day. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet location and want to avoid the mega resort hotels.

The condo has a great view/angle of the cove. We had a great stay.This kitchen could use a little attention as it was a bit short on bowls and plates, and it would be good to have more glasses that matched.The upstairs bathroom looks like it needs a bit of attention.It was nice that there was sugar, cooking oil, tin foil and plastic wrap, binoculars, boogie boards, etc.My wife left some things in a dresser drawer; Cove personnel could have let us know and offered to ship at our expense, but no word from them.

This is our favorite place to stay on Maui. The Cove is so low-key and has the best snorkeling we’ve experienced a date. This condo met our needs with a comfy couch and clean and well appointed bedroom. Everyone there is so kind. I will give you 10 stars if it was possible. Although I feel a little selfish wanting to keep this place a secret.
