Painting of this lanai will be done by June 30, 2024, so it's no longer an issue.
What to expect when you come to the West Maui:
Keep in mind everything north and south of Lahaina Town is intact. That said most of 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) you will see what you have seen on TV. Thereâs nothing you can do but support those people now.
There are a few displaced families still at Honua Kai as the Resort really stepped up more than anyone else in offering temporary housing.
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. It will be appreciated.

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 managment 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

We were here for the last of three island stays on a 12 night vacation and wish we were at this spot longer. The property, though still under renovations for obvious reasons, was great. The rooms super clean and a nice, large, common space. Great amenities, close to good food and not far from many great excursions. Great stay and we will return!

We had the best week at this property! The location is fabulous. It feels like a resort in the sense that there are amenities, restaurant with pool service, fun pools, and onsite help when you need or want, but the privacy and benefit of having your own kitchen, enough space to spread out, washing machine, etc. I loved that it was walking distance to the grocery store, super close to what we wanted to do, and just so convenient to park or get the car. We were there during spring break so a busy week but we didnât feel crowded on the beach at all, or in general.
The owner was very communicative about check in, lots of good details, loved the special touches. The sunset view from this unit was amazing. It was fabulous and we would love to return.

Wonderful condo with lots of room for two couples. Lanai (balcony) was spacious with amazing views. We started the mornings off whale watching with coffee and cinnamon rolls from Papi's Ohana. The facilities were great with plenty of spots around the pool in the mornings. Everything you would need for the beach is available with snorkels, chairs, and a boogie board. Can't wait to make it back again.

We enjoyed our stay at this property very much. The unit was very clean, well stocked, and Joe was responsive when a couple of issues came up. The view is just as advertised and we spent hours sitting on the lanai. A lounge chair would have been perfect, but there are chairs with footrests.

Great place! Joe is the best VRBO owner we have ever dealt with. We had an AC issue in one of the rooms late at night and he promptly had it resolved - perfect communication, service, etc. I highly recommend this place! Perfect!! Thanks again, Joe!

We loved our stay at the Honua Kai and especially the beautiful condo. It is very spacious and has an amazing view of the property and ocean.
Joe has this unit stocked with everything you might need for the beach and pool. The kitchen has a large supply of pots, pans, dishes, and silverware. It is the little details that set this apart from other units. There are plastic containers, foil, plastic wrap, etc. Bathrooms are large and have soaps and such with plenty of towels.
The bedrooms are large with comfortable beds. You can control the temperature of each room to get a perfect nightâs sleep.
Easy to check in, consistent communication with details from the owner, and an all around 10/10! Loved ending our trip here; just hard to say goodbye to Maui.
Thank you Joe!

Condo was amazing and had everything we needed inside and for trips t the beach. Large balcony with beautiful views. Watched whales every day. The owner was always available to us for anything we needed. The lavaflows at Dukes restaurant were the best. The only thing I could even come close to saying wasn't perfect is the pools are only 3-1/2 feet deep and parking in garage fills up in evening so you may have to park by the townhouses and walk a little. Pools are great for kids and hanging around in just harder to swim laps. Grounds are beautiful.

Spacious, clean and well maintained condo unit. Perfect for 4 adults, loved the views, the Nanawall was awesome. Beach right outside and not crowded. Provided beach chairs and boards were an added plus. A short drive to Lahaina, Napili and Kapalua. Food trucks right outside the resort.

We spent a wonderful week in Maui! The views of the ocean were perfect. You really are in one of the best spot for ocean views. The room fit our family of 5(15yr, 13yr & 11year olds). We felt very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay.
Weâve also stayed next door at the Westin Villas and I like these rooms way better. Having Dukes on the property was a plus too! We will defiantly be back.

Donât hesitate to book this apartment. It was well stocked with everything from beach chairs & a cooler to laundry detergent. It was very clean and comfortable. We were 2 couples and the 2 bed/2 bath worked perfectly for us. While the beach is small, we still did sit on it. You are close to many other beaches if you want a more expansive beach. There are multiple pools and waiter service by the pools. The concierge was very helpful in answering our questions. We would definitely try to book this again if we return to Maui.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this condo. The balcony was amazing. We enjoyed breakfast on the balcony every morning enjoying the ocean and the rainbows. The rooms were very comfortable and Joe was kind enough to split the second bedroomâs king bed into two twin beds for our children. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and lunches. The washer/dryer was more helpful than we imagined. We were pleasantly surprised to find beach chairs and sand toys for our use as well. They were put to good use. You will not be disappointed staying in this condo. We didnât need anything from Joe but he checked on us from time to time. We hope to stay here again in the future.

This unit was excellent for the the 4 of us. It was located in the beautiful Honoa Kai resort property and had great views of the ocean and the stunning West Maui sunsets. Would definitely stay in this unit again if available.
September 2021
This is an incredible unit. It is well taken care of, very clean, spacious, and has an amazing view! Watching the sunset from the lanai is just gorgeous. It was so nice to have one of the king beds turned into two twins, and the unit is very large with wonderful bathrooms. Joe was a wonderful host. We were greeted with champagne, chocolates, and coffee. He is easy to communicate with, and truly wants your stay to be the best! We will definitely be back!

Extremely roomy unit - with a huge lanai!
We traveled to Maui with our two daughters and their families which included 5 grandkids. Their families stayed in other units down the hall - but on many occasions family members would pop in and out to share an exciting event from the day or watch the sunset with us.

We had a wonderful vacation. The condo had everything we needed and Joe was welcoming and quick to answer our questions. We loved all the beach and snorkel equipment and the views from the balcony are spectacular. The icing on the cake was when he was able to extend us a late checkout on the day we were leaving. That gave us practically an entire extra day to enjoy the resort. I can't thank him enough for that. We would happily recommend his condo and hopefully we will make it to Maui again. Mahalo Joe!

Our entire experience with Honua Kai was outstanding! From booking it, checking in and checking out we felt like we were valued guests. The condo was exactly as described and exceeded our expectations. Joe was there to greet us and even got us into the condo an hour early. After showing us the amazing view, we settled in and enjoyed ourselves. We used the pool every day and were very happy with all the employees who offered assistance during our visit. If you are looking for an awesome place to stay in the Kaanapali Beach area, check out this property!

We just returned from a week at HK and were completely thrilled with this unit! The condo is in perfect condition and fully stocked with anything you will need for a week at the beach. My sister stayed in a different condo within HK and her unit did not provide the beach necessities that ours did. Joe was on vacation the week we were there, but he had the bellman prepared to help us up to our condo and get checked in. Joe even had chocolates, coffee and champagne waiting for us! As far as other units are concerned within HK, unless you are getting one of the large three bedrooms at the end of each building you cannot beat the location of this unit. You definitely want to stay in the Kona building, as the other building has a major construction project adjacent to it. This unit has a direct view of Molokai and Lanai Islands and it is breath taking!!! There is no one else's lanai obstructing your ocean view as with other units farther back in the building. I cannot say enough great things about this condo! Thank you Joe for allowing us to have such a great week in Maui- we can't wait to come back!!!

We just returned from our week-long stay at this property and cannot recommend it strongly enough. The unit was exceptional. We could not check in early because another family was leaving the day of our arrival, but Joe texted me the moment it was ready. The pictures are accurate but do not do the view justice. Perfect for your early morning coffee or sunset cocktail. Kids loved the pool and the slide and Joe has plenty of beach gear in the unit for your use (boogie boards, chairs, etc.). We were a party of 2 adults and 4 kids (including 2 teenagers) and had plenty of space. I noticed some reviews stating the BBQ's were a bit of a walk. Eh. Not so much. They are right next to the pools, have plenty of seating, and are a great place to meet other families, share some BBQ recipes, and generally socialize. That was how we discovered BBQ watermelon (baste with XV olive oil, squirt some lime juice, sprinkle with sea salt, BBQ each side @ 4-5 minutes - delicious!!). Honestly, the only reason why I might not book this unit again is because I want to buy one of my own. Have a great time!! You won't regret staying here!!

My family and I just returned from our week at Honua Kai. This unit was outstanding - better than advertised. It was clean, beautiful, and modern. Joe and Rhonda have equipped it with all the necessary conveniences and kitchen utensils. They also provided numerous beach towels, beach chairs, boggie boards, and more. The complex was beautiful - several pools and constant fun for the entire family. The views from the lanai were magnificent and are even better than the photos. Joe and Rhonda were first class to deal with from start to finish and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.

My family and I just returned from a week in this condo and our experience was outstanding. I rented a similar unit through Costco last year, and this property was a great improvement at a much lower cost. I want to compliment Joe and Rhonda on the entire process. The booking process was clear and easy. I received prompt emails with details along the way. I was met by Joe at the Honua Kai entrance upon arrival and he showed me all of the features of the unit, explained details of the resort, and provided his cell number for any questions during my stay.
The unit was fully stocked with nice dishes, glasses, cups, cookware, chairs, beach toys, two snorkel sets, a small cooler and a large cooler, nice appliances, comfortable beds, nice toiletries, real paper towels (Bounty) and toilet paper (Charmin), five large/think beach towels, and the list goes on. He even included a welcome bottle of champagne. I have stayed in many condos over the years and this one was better equipped than any of them. I give major kudos to Joe and Rhonda for helping make my stay a pleasant one.
When checking out, I we left three items in the closet and didnât realize until we reached the airport. I texted Joe and he promptly replied he would take care of shipping the items back to me. A couple of days later, he texted me a picture of the items to ensure that was everything, and planned to ship them that day. I canât say enough about his attention to detail and ensuring our stay was outstanding.

My wife and our two toddlers had an incredible vacation while staying at this condo. This was our second stay at the Honua Kai and the first stay at this condo unit. Joe was very accommodating in arranging our check-in and even allowed us into the unit several hours earlier than scheduled. He made us feel very comfortable and was very responsive when we had questions.
The unit is clean, comfortable and has incredible ocean views. The condo has beach chairs, towels, fins, and boogie boards, making beach days hassle free. We highly recommend this unit, it was our best vacation with our young family to date.
