We enjoyed watching the whales from our balcony, it was a better view than we expected. Chairs and cooler were a nice addition. The only small thing for a family who enjoys bbq, the kitchen wasn’t fully equipped.
Would definitely recommend this unit!

We had a wonderful time. The location is perfect to walk on the boardwalk or go to the beach. We enjoyed the pools and Dukes. The property management was very helpful and the checkin process was easy. The condo is beautiful and well taken care of. Thanks so much.

We’ve been to Maui before and love to stay on the north end of Kaanapali. We wanted the resort feeling and this property was perfect! Being on the eighth floor in the corner was perfect! The view was amazing and we could also here to music from Dukes in the evening. Everything was great in the condo, so much so that we didn’t need to call or text them about anything but they checked in with us by email and maybe even text (I can’t remember) asking if there was anything we needed and making sure we were happy with everything. I really appreciated that! The condo was updated and had most everything you needed. They even had shampoos and soap in the shower. It was beautifully decorated and clean! Never saw a bug lol! In Hawaii there are bugs and that’s just the way it is for the humid climate but seriously there wasn’t any type of bug at all. They have 2 beach chairs and a cooler in the closet. We rented boogie boards from the Snorkel Store. They are awesome there! They send you daily reports of the conditions of the different beaches and they set you up with all you need. The staff at this property were all very helpful and kind as well. It was a great and well needed trip and everything went smooth and was perfect. The only thing I wished they had was a mirror on the wall somewhere outside the bathroom. That way I could get ready while the other person showers. But seriously that would be just a suggestion…everything was wonderful!
We will definitely be back!

First time staying at this resort. The location cannot be beat, right on Kaanapali beach, steps away from Duke's, spectacular views, and well maintained pools and gardens. Will definitely return! :)

Loved everything but there wasn’t bedding for the pull out couch. We asked the front desk for a blanket and we’re curtly denied with the explanation, “We don’t deal with vrbo/condos.”

My wife, my 2 year old, and myself had a great stay at Bruno's studio unit and would highly recommend it for a family size of the same. The unit is modern and has what you need for a weeklong stay, the view is amazing, the pools were designed with both kids and parent in mind, and the resort location is very ideal.
The unit is on the 8th floor and has great views of the beach/ocean/sunset. We had a couple of dinners on the patio (lanai?) to take advantage of this. You can open all of the of the patio doors and take in the Maui air. Kitchen, bathroom, laundry are all modern and up to date. Bed and sofa were both comfy. Bruno equipped the unit with various items that were useful (oversized beach bag, shopper cart, maui guide book, etc). There's self parking both outside and underground. After a day out on the island, it was really comforting knowing that we were "coming home" to this unit.
The resort pools are amazing for young kids. The multiple pool setups definitely had kids in mind, but also knowing their parents can enjoy the setup as well. One side has shallow pools, surrounded by hot pools, along with an infinity pool. The other side has a water slide, cave decorations, and a small faux pebble beach area. Both are anchored by Duke's, which has great food and drinks with poolside service.
The area is a couple of minutes north of the more cramped Ka'anapali area, so you do feel a level of tranquility that you wouldn't get there.
We didn't need to contact Bruno often, but when we did, it was either an immediate pick up of the phone or a very quick call back. Before the trip, he prepped us on what his favorites of the island were and tips of the resort and island. Super great communication and you can tell he really enjoys all things Maui as well.

We stayed at Bruno's little best kept secret for 4 nights and it was amazing! This condo has absolutely everything you need! so well equipped i wish i wouldn't have packed half the stuff i did. Great location, easy access to the beach. LOVED opening the lanai doors at night and listening to the ocean. Don't hesitate to book this outstanding condo! can't wait to come back next year! Thanks Bruno!

Bruno’ s 8th floor condo was amazing! Bruno was excellent with the booking and had so much information for us about the condo, resort, restaurants and tours. The condo had everything we could possibly need and the view was spectacular. We would recommend this condo and will definitely stay there again.

This was a smooth, comfortable experience from start to finish. Shortly after booking, we received a personal call from Bruno and he answered all of our questions about the property. The Maui Trip Planner that was sent prior to our arrival was full of valuable information. We saved an electronic copy, plus a printed copy was provided in the unit for us. We also appreciated having a copy of Maui Revealed in the condo.
Things we loved: underground secure parking. Beach chairs, beach bag, and cooler. Stainless steel water bottles stayed cold in the car when filled with ice water. A wheeled cart for groceries. The coffee shop in the lobby. Breakfast on the lanai with an incredible view. High quality linens and beach towels. Well-stocked kitchen with new appliances.
We happened to be there during an unusually rainy week for Maui but we were usually able to drive around the island and find decent weather. That's where the Maui trip planner really came in handy.
Mahalo, Bruno and Ellen, for making this a fabulous vacation with a place to come "home" to at the end of each day. We would definitely repeat this stay.

This condo (#837) was amazing. The decor and furnishings were very updated and the bed was so comfortable! The view was gorgeous. This condo came with paper goods, toiletries, hair dryer, beach towels, 2 beach chairs, and a cooler--everything you needed. We ate at Duke's which is right on the resort and the food and drinks were very good. Loved the pools, hottubs, and beach. Location was great. Enjoyed free parking. Exceptional property and communication with owner was very good.

My wife and I just stayed at this lovely studio for 6 days as we celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. This was our first time renting through VRBO, so we were a little apprehensive being that we normally rent a hotel. I must say that Bruno was a top notch host. From our initial booking, to our departure, he was always ready and available to answer questions or address concerns. This studio is exactly how you imagine it in the pictures, and more. The ocean view is breath-taking and easily enjoyed because the glass doors open up the full length of the lanai. A few nights we left the glass doors open (there is also a full length screen to keep the bugs out) to hear the ocean waves throughout the night. Yes, the ocean is that close! Bruno has stocked the studio with everything you will need to make your vacation enjoyable: Boogie board, beach towels, sunscreen/sun tan lotion, grocery cart, dishes, binoculars to enjoy the ocean view, the list goes on! The studio is impeccably maintained and was fresh and clean when we arrived. The grounds are beautiful and have direct access to the beach. Good eating is within steps of the condo, namely Duke's famous restuarant, which provides causal breakfast and lunch, and also a nice dinner menu. There is also a spa, general store, and a lovely coffee shop within the resort. Self-parking is free (not far at all from the main entrance) AND valet is free too (tips of course though). If you are looking for luxury accommodations in Maui, that is centrally located to many major Maui excursions/dinning/shopping, look no further because this is the place! Bruno, and his property, have truly changed our perspective on renting a VRBO in lieu of a hotel. We will be back!

This condo was exactly what we were hoping for - the perfect amount of space for a couple, and so well equipped with everything you need - beach chairs, towels, boogie board, a huge beach bag, and a fully stocked kitchen. Everything was spotless and in great shape. The resort is lovely as well, great location, good restaurant and right on the beach! Bruno was great to deal with leading up to our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I had stayed at the Honua Kai before, and loved it, so we knew it would be the perfect place to spend our honeymoon. Our first time here we booked through the resort, and this time we booked independently through VRBO. Bruno was not only extremely quick in responding, but so nice and hospitable. The studio is exactly as pictured, and the view is spectacular! There was a pool closure while we stayed, which initially bummed us out. But when we arrived, we realized there was no impact on our stay, as we didn't even notice unless we went out of our way to walk to the other side of the resort, which is almost like a separate resort itself. Not only was the studio beautiful, clean and nicely decorated, there were several amenities provided that really helped make our vacation great. Large beach towels, a sizable cooler, a boogie board, beach chairs, and a big beach bag all made days at the pool and beach more enjoyable. Thank you so much, Bruno! We will always look for #837 first when returning to Maui!

Bruno is a great host. The studio was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The view is awesome. We enjoyed having coffee every morning on the lanai and watching the sunrise. Can't say enough great things about this studio and the hosts.
