Please read this before you book. The following is in reference to the Lahaina fires.
Please understand that if you come and stay with me that you will not be taking a room from a displaced family or that you will be taking resources from victims of the fire. Right after the fire, me and the owners I represent placed victims of the fire in our units free of charge. No questions. It gave them a safe place to think and they knew they would need to find a longer term solution. Most have done that. A couple still need some more time and they will have that. I will not kick them out for a paying guest, so if the unit shows available then it’s available because the family in it found a longer term solution.
What to expect:
Keep in mind everything north and south of Lahaina is intact. That said 85% of Lahaina Town is gone. So when you drive in via the Lahaina Bypass you will see some damage. Once you come down and get back on Honoapiilani Highway and go past Safeway (which is open now) you will see what you have seen on TV. It’s bad, but there’s nothing you can do but support those people now.
Depending on when you are coming there may still be displaced families at Honua Kai as the Resort really stepped up more than anyone else in offering temporary housing. The ones that work will be understanding and grateful, and this does not need to be said but we all just need to be respectful of one another.
We hear all the time how much people love Maui, how they leave a little bit of their heart in Maui when the leave, and how Maui allows their family to connect or re-connect. The truth of the matter is that Maui needs you now more than ever to come and support its people, its shops and its restaurants. That said I understand and respect that some people may see it differently, so everyone needs to make their own choice.
WE WELCOME YOU BACK TO MAUI WITH A COMPLIMENTARY BOTTLE OF CHILLED CHAMPAGNE UPON ARRIVAL!
BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE. Aloha, my name is Joe Devane and I am a licensed Real Estate Broker in the State of Hawaii RB-18850 and the owner of Kai Malina Properties, LLC (RB-22032) here in Kaanapali. We are licensed and insured.
I WAS THE DEVELOPER'S REAL ESTATE BROKER AT HONUA KAI FROM 2009 to 2016 when we sold out! I am also a licensed attorney in both Hawaii (Bar No. 8295) and California (Bar No 178241)(voluntary inactive). Disclaimer: Never wire money as a form of payment and f the rate seems too good to be true, it is.
This explanation may help since Honua Kai can be confusing. The construction of the Luana Townhouses is 100% complete, Honua Kai is now 700 individually owned condominiums that belong to a Homeowners Association. Honua Kai is not a hotel. Every owner chooses to either use the onsite management which is now Outrigger or they choose an outside rental company (ORC). Outrigger is not the "Resort" they're just the onsite management company. Now they own the front desk area and some other areas at Honua Kai, but all guests have access to the pools, restaurant, stores, Spa, fitness center and concierge.
This studio is located in the inner courtyard of the Hokulani Building. It over looks the Hokulani pool and the tiki torches. It's 583 sq ft with a 100 sq ft lanai. The view is incredible. Look at the pictures. Imagine that view with the complimentary bottle of champagne and the Maui chocolate covered macadamia nuts we provide.
Please take a look at our photos and you'll see that they are actual pictures of the unit and upon your arrival you will say that the pictures do not do this place justice. If you want to make your trip special this is the unit for you.
UPON DEPARTURE YOU LEAVE YOUR KEYS ON THE COUNTER AND GO.
We offer the following:
-With us you rent unit Hokulani 733, you don't rent a category and find out what you get when you arrive at the front desk. That 's because you don't have a front desk and with us you get actual pictures of the unit and the actual view from the unit.
-Free Internet
-No worrying about when the maid service is going to interrupt your day since we don't offer housekeeping.
-We personally see that this unit is cleaned to our high standards.
-Use of swimming pool, exercise room, and concierge service. We also provide beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, paper products and binoculars.
-The Staff at Honua Kai Condominiums will treat you like you're sitting in the first class cabin.
-Charge all resort costs on your credit card.
-Our Aloha Welcome Package which includes a bag of coffee, Chilled Champagne, Hawaiian Chocolates, Tommy Bahama Shampoo and Soaps.
-Either the bellman or I will greet you at the bell desk and escort you to the unit.
-We live 5 minutes from the resort and we are on property just about everyday. We take your stay personally, so anything that comes up, we will be there. You don't have to wait for this guy to call that guy who can't be there til Tuesday. If you know Maui you know what I mean. We want you happy and we want you back!
-We are fortunate to Live Aloha everyday and our goal is for our guests to Live Aloha while they are our guests. Whether it's just another trip to Maui or the only trip you'll ever take to Maui, our mission is to make it special.
The bellmen are all real good guys that work hard that are ready to assist you with your luggage up to the unit.

This studio has excellent views from inside and from the balcony. It overlooks the pool and the ocean. The place was very clean and well furnished. Check-in was easy. The owner was prompt in answering any questions. We would definitely stay there again. It’s very close to Dukes restaurant. Sunsets are amazing.

I have stayed in the same resort community prior, which was also good, but this codo was even better. The view was beautiful and location was perfect for what we needed. We will stay here again! My one suggestion would be to hand more mirrors. Being in a 1 bathroom condo with 3 women was a doozy, but we made it work. Thanks so much Joe!

This condo is exactly what we hoped it would be. The condo was beautiful and clean. The ocean view is spectacular. This condo is in a great location. We felt comfortable and would stay again.

The view makes this a prime studio unit and it is clean and well equipped, as described. There are a few drawers for clothing so don’t plan on having hanging items. The only inconvenience was people above drag unusually loud chairs on their patio between 4:30-8am. If the development has quiet hours or if they were willing to put a rug down, that could be addressed.

Absolutely perfect honeymoon stay for my wife and I! A room/view like this would cost thousands more at any of the big hotel chains, but renting through VRBO saved tons. The kitchen was perfect for breakfasts on the patio and stocked with everything you would need. Communication with the owner was great. Would come back here again

Loved our stay here. Our favorite was the amazing view from the balcony. It has a great beach right off the property and a fun pool. The unit was very clean, loved the full kitchen and washer and dryer. It was the perfect amount of space for my husband and I. Thank you for sharing this great place with us! We will be back.

Great property for the price. Can’t beat the view, proximity to Kaanapali and Duke’s (there are plenty of other outstanding snorkeling and shopping options within a few minutes too), and multiple pools. Elevators are a bit slow, but the underground parking is worth the wait. Our tween loved it here.

Perfect location right on the beach with amazing views! We could see the whales from the lanai. It was an added perk to have a full kitchen to have some meals at home.

My husband and myself had a wonderful 8 night stay. This condo had everything we needed with a great view. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The Tommy Bahama chairs, umbrella and boogie boards came in really handy and we used them several times. This was our first time visiting Maui and the location of this property turned out to be perfect. We enjoyed Duke‘s restaurant several times as well as the walking path every morning. Joe was wonderful with communication and was able to give us an early check in which we greatly appreciate it. The only downside would be how crowded the pools were (lots of kids) and not being able to get a pool lounge chair after 10am. It seems to be an issue at most of the other resorts as well. Probably due to Covid and limiting the number of chairs. Overall we had a fantastic time and I would definitely come back again!
