Three generations staying in this 3 bedroom large condo that was equipped with everything we needed.
It was lovely being on the ground floor with a large shaded patio with a large dining table and multiple types of patio furniture, a nice BBQ and also a grassy area the kids could play on. It was a very short walk to everything that the Honua Kai Resort has to offer and the bonus was we didn’t have to use any elevators. I would recommend this highly to families who have young kids with lots of energy!

What a wonderful place to stay close to the beach, pool and food nearby. I will definitely stay here again. The owner was very friendly and considerate.

Beautiful property with easy access to beaches, pools, and dukes without having to navigate long halls, while still being convenient to the general store that we visited a lot!
Monty was so attentive and responsive when a neighbor was smoking and it was affecting our unit. I wish I had notified him sooner, but I was being patient. The house is fully equipped with everything you need to have a nice day out on the beach, and so comfortable in the evenings when we were decompressing.
Thank you for hosting our incredible family reunion memories!

WOW! Our trip to Maui started with finding this condo and when you walk in your jaw will drop.So much space and amenities for two adults and five teen/tweens we often forgot they were here with us. Love the wrap around lanai and it's views. The resort is amazing in itself. Find the bonus exit if your heading off property or over to Times supermarket for a bottle of wine (or two).
The beach seems endless. The ocean is perfect temp. and floating with sea turtles all afternoon is priceless.

Stayed here with family and our jaws hit the floor as we walked in! So beautiful and spacious! Tall ceilings and immaculate! We loved the ground floor access. So easy to go to the pool which was steps away and the beach was just beyond the pool. We had come from the Westin Villas, which was nice but very cramped. Monty’s place at the Honua Kai was leaps and bounds above the Westin as far as luxury and space. Monty was extremely accommodating and good to check in with us frequently to make sure all was well. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend this condo! You will feel like a millionaire! ;)

We have a wonderful stay. Monty communicated well and addressed any issues promptly. The location on the ground floor is perfect for families. The kids enjoyed hunting for frogs and lizards right outside our door, and getting to the pool directly from the backyard was super convenient. Would highly recommend staying here!

We had a wonderful stay at Honua Kai. Communication with the owner and the property manager was prompt, professional, and incredibly friendly. We would highly recommend staying at this property.

This was my third stay at Honua Kai, and I would definitely go back. The unit and host were both terrific, as are the facilities at Honua Kai, especially if you are traveling with children and want to have plenty to keep you busy at the resort. Its also a great location to all that Maui has to offer on the western half of the island and very close to the grocery store, great fish market and my favorite sushi spot (Miso Phat).

If you want to feel like you live in a beautiful home in a tropical paradise, this is where you want to stay. The condo is fantastic - it’s literally closer to the beach than to the Bell desk. Get anything from the fish market up the street, grab your favorite adult beverage on the way back, and you can grill something that was swimming that morning as you watch an unobstructed view of the sunset from the lanai.
OK, if instead you want to spend your time in Hawaii looking for problems then yes, you might find a scuff in the paint. But you’re going to have to look for the scuffs - this property is very well maintained.
Monty was a great host - checking in to make sure things were going well without being intrusive. Just the right balance.
This condo is a big, comfortable place to enjoy with your family in an idyllic setting. We will be staying here on our next Maui vacation.

The accommodations were as described and the host did an excellent job of providing all the items you'd need to fully enjoy the property (beach chairs and umbrellas, kitchen supplies and utensils, coffee maker, etc.). Additionally, Monty was extremely responsive when we ran into any issues.

We had such a great time staying at this condo and property! Monty was such a responsive and attentive host. Like others have mentioned the location of this unit specifically is top notch. We were able to get the pools and beach with ease. The interior is well appointed and was comfortable for the 6 of us that stayed (family of 5 plus Nana). We will definitely be back!

Beautiful unit with a partial ocean view. We enjoyed our stay and mini getaway for my son’s 4th birthday. When we first checked in we did find a dirty cup under the guest bed due to one of our phones falling in the back of it or we would’ve never found it. Other then that everything was perfect. :)

We had a great stay. The condo was perfect for our family. The property has lots of amenities and the kids loved the pools, gym and location! Right at the beach. The condo check in and out was very easy and the property was very well maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
June 2023
Everything was great. It would have been even better if the manager had informed us that the fryer wasn’t working.
Overall we had a fabulous stay

Our stay was amazing! We had a great 12 day stay. The location of the condo was perfect. You can leave from your private lanai and walk 1 min to the pools. The rooms were so spacious and the bathrooms were beautiful.
My only negative would be that many of the appliances are old/not working. One, the dryer door did not work. You have to use tape for it to close tightly and dry your clothes. Two, I had to PURCHASE a blender to make purees for my baby. There is a vitamix blender in the condo, but it did NOT blend well. It left too many chunks which would be a chocking hazard for my baby. Three, the TVs were not smart TVs. My dad wanted to watch a soccer game while we were there, but he could not use the app to watch it on the tv. He had to watch it on his phone. Four, the freezer door didn't close easily. You had to push it for it to close all the way. Besides the appliances needing to be upgraded, it was a great stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at this Honua Kai unit! I don't think you can beat the access to the pools, beach, and Dukes. It's, literally, steps from the back patio! This is a very clean, spacious unit that accommodated my family of 5 (kidults/kid: 22, 19, & 16) plus my parents. We hung out mostly on the patio when we were in the unit and made good use of the grill. There are many thoughtful extras: portable cribs, roll away bed, beach chairs, rolling cooler, beach umbrella, etc. It's going to be difficult to find any other unit that compares to this one, and we can't wait to go back!

We were very happy in Ka’anapali. The condo was perfectly clean, beautiful and updated feeling. We loved the location so close to the food trucks, on the beach, a few minutes drive to calm swimming bays.
It felt luxurious at a reasonable price. The 5 of us fit perfectly, my 18 year old son said the couch was very comfortable, the beds were excellent and linens all clean and good quality. We loved being on the garden side and not hearing noise from the pool, but still having a beautiful ocean view if you step onto the lanai.
We could only hear neighbors above us when they moved chairs around, otherwise it was very quiet. The condo was well stocked with beach and kitchen necessities, I would only recommend bringing your own tissues if you use those in your makeup routine as there were none.

Everything about this unit was incredible! It made our vacation stay more memorable. Very spacious for our family of seven. Appreciate the wheelchair accessible all the way down to the shower chair for my mother! Everything you need and want is there! Private huge patio, comfortable bed, different dining options, pools, hot tubs, grocery stores, beach, gym, awesome hospitality, immediate response for questions and help. It’s the perfect staycation! We feel blessed and honored to have such a beautiful place while making inspirational family memories! Mahalo

The property location was exceptional but the maintenance and cleanliness could have been so much better. The carpet was very dirty and the kitchen cooking pans looked like they were camping pans used for about 30 years, they were pretty bad but I do have to say the property manager replaced the right away. The patio furniture was pretty dirty and pretty worn out and had bird poo all over them, they were pretty ratty looking and so were the dining table outside was not good. Most cushions were worn out. Location was excellent for this place though and the bedrooms were all pretty nice. They kitchen sink on the rubber seam had molding and coffee pot was pretty dirty. I won’t be staying here in the future. A beautiful place but upkeep has not been happening here.

We enjoyed our time in this condo. Very easy to walk to the pool or the beach. They provide beach chairs in the condo which makes it easy to enjoy the ocean. The beach is very nice. We loved the evening sunsets over looking the water!
The pool area can get crowded so you have to plan ahead for lounge chairs.
The kitchen reasonably well stocked if you want to make your own meals.

The unit was perfect for our group of 10 (four adults, three kids, one infant)...fully equipped with easy access to the pool, beach, and Lahaina.

It was a beautiful condo with a great view of the ocean. Almost everything you need located right downstairs. Some of us utilized the work out facilities on the grounds and it was clean and well stocked with machines. Short drive to shopping. Just feet from the ocean and a wonderful walking path. The jacuzzi at night was an added plus. I highly recommend this condo and we will be staying here again.

Unit 210 was perfect for our son and his family. The unit had all the amenities needed and communication with the host was spot on. The location at the resort was great as it had an ocean view from the lanai and was a short walk out the door to the beach for great snorkeling. We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our family vacation!

The condo at Honua Kai Resort was excellent. We wanted to relax and it was just what the doctor ordered! With a full kitchen and bbq facilities right outside meals were easy and fun with friends, and the pool and the beach made relaxing easy also. Would definitely rent condo B-210 again.

This was perfect for our 2 couples and 4 small children, w/ plenty of space and all the comforts of home. We loved the pools, easy beach front views and access, nearby restaurants and shops. Extended family also rented 2 other condos in same building and we had a ball during the day and shared many meals. Kitchen and outdoor garden bbq were more than adequate. This is a prime location, and we loved being on the first floor, making the patio area safe for small kids. Highly recommend. It was tough packing up to leave, and everyone hopes to return in the future, for another memorable Maui family vacation!!!

The location of the room within the resort is great, with easy access to the parking garage. The resort is also in a great location and offered everything both adults and kids can ask for. We really enjoyed our stay.

This three bedroom unit has to be the best in the entire complex. The large three bedrooms are down the hall away from the living area. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are large. The patio is large and the yard is so private with the manicured gardens, yet you are so close to the three pool areas. It was so nice to be on the first floor and just walk out to the beach and pools while avoiding the elevator. It's a great spot for a family vacation.

The location of this unit is the best quality. You are close to the beach, the pools, the boardwalk, the large lawn area. It was so nice to have room for the grandkids to spread their wings and not feel cooped up. Running back and forth to the pool is easy. We spent a lot of time on the Lanai, eating, playing cards, BBQing, and just hanging out. We got to watch the sunset, the birds, the butterflies, even had an easter egg hunt on the lawn. It's pretty magical here.

We just returned back home in Canada after a 3 week stay in this unit. Honua Kai is a fantastic resort condo. The facility has everything a family would look for: 3 pools, 6 hot tubs, waterslides, lazy river. The beach access is perfect and to top it off the wonderful Duke's Restaurant is located on the property.
For those going with family:
Pros: The pools, the restuarant, walking distance to food truck park, grocery store and local restaurants. Beach is nice and sandy, waves are not strong, great snorkleing.
Cons: None. Ok, well maybe some minor ones like I wish the facility had more rentable items such as Paddleboards or Surfboards. But there are shops within walking distance. The kids only complaint was that there wasn't a Shaved Ice stand on site...but pro tip, the Westin next door had a good one and was a 5 minute walk.
With respect to the unit itself, Dean is a very nice person to deal with and the property manager Monty was also very responsive and nice.
The unit is very spacious, 2beds 2baths. It is nicely furnished and clean. The view from the unit is average, but you get enough of an ocean view. You won't catch a clear view of sunset though (if this matters to you then pick one of the other buildings or units that face more easterly?), as this unit faces a different direction. The balcony is large and a great spot to have breakfast.
The unit had a pack and play, but didnt have a lot of "baby accessories" so if you are bringing an infant plan ahead by renting or buying some baby items such as a jolly jumper.
Dean went out of his way to arrange for a instapot to be at the unit for us, and the unit had a number of spices and condiments already stocked.
I will definitely return.
Some nice "to do" items for 1st timers coming to Maui and to Honua Kai:
1. take kids to Slappy Cakes - it is a pancake joint walking distance
2. walk past the westin and snorkel near the area where the trees are on the beach
3. hit whalers village and grab Mai Tais for Happy Hour at Monkeypod...best Mai Tais ever
4. spend a day at Black Rock beach on the sheraton side and snorkel
5. Eat at Star Noodle, Lahaina Grill, Mamas Fishhouse, Merriman's, Morimoto, Japengo
6. spend as many sunsets next to Duke's, there is a live singer every night that sings while the sun sets
7. head up to Napili Farmers market and make a day at Kapalua Bay, check out Taverna for Sunday brunch

We had such a great experience with the manager of the property before we even arrived until the very end of our visit. The unit itself was spacious, clean, and had a fully stocked kitchen. We used a couple of the beach toys that were provided as well. We had other family members staying in Honua Kai as well so we would gather for meals and cocktails out on the lanai. The location was perfect. An easy walk to the pools/beach. We would definitely return!

This place was perfect for our family. We had plenty of space, it was clean, up to date, it had all you need for the beach, infant supplies such as pack n play, rocker and more. I really did love the location. Ground floor right by everything!

We had a lovely time at this condo. It was fully stocked and spacious. Large balcony for meals and sunsets. The pool area and grassy areas were great. Get out early for chairs. The beach chairs were very appreciated. The beach was beautiful but a little rocky. We enjoyed eating at Duke’s on the premises. Great location convenient to Lahaina, groceries, shopping etc. Suggestions include adding more coffee cups and upgrading the living room chairs—you really sink into them. Everything else was perfect.

Our family of 10 (2 seniors, 4 kids aged 6 to 13) just spent a great week in Maui. We rented 102 and 104 (next door).
Check in was very easy, with valet or self-parking available (including reserved spots right below the condo). Monty, the caretaker, was helpful at check-in and helped with recommendations.
The condo was beautiful, with high ceilings and an amazing outdoor space. The beds were comfortable and there were lots of places (indoor and out) for relaxing with a book. The condo is soundproofed well, so at night we couldn't hear noise from neighbors. There's a path from the lanai to the main pool area, and it was very convenient to be able to go back and forth that way (rather than the interior corridor). There's a key to lock the lanai doors from the outside, too.
The kitchen was also great and had more spices than you usually find in a rental.
The beach closet was awesome - a bunch of beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, boogie boards, and two coolers.
The condo comes with pool towels from the resort area, so it was easy to exchange them. The resort itself gets crowded and could use additional pool chairs (and more frequent pool cleaning).
Duke's is very close to the condo and has a great happy hour, plus a menu for take-out.
We'll be back!

This is our second time at the property, and added another grandchild to the mix. Excellent location as its at the end with it's own lanai and access to the pools, etc. We did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen is well stocked and you have your own BBQ.
Highly recommended, and the amenities at the resort are excellent for all ages.

Our family of 7 loved our stay in this amazing condominium. With 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and a spacious living area along with a big kitchen, we never felt like we were stepping on each others toes.
The ground floor location was great for getting in and out, heading to the beach or walking to the local restaurants and stores.
We enjoyed the lanai with it's outdoor barbecue and took advantage of both the grill and the privacy it afforded.
Yes! We would definitely stay here again. Brandon made it easy to rent!

Amazing place. Perfect for families, clean , prime location. Feel like it had to be the best unit in the building. Kitchen was well stocked and literally had everything we needed.

Really enjoyed our stay. Booking with Dean was seamless. Any issues/problems were dealt with promptly (same day!) & pleasantly by property manager Monty and the Honua Kai engineering staff. Wish I could get things dealt with so efficiently at home!
Unit description was accurate, clean and anticipated our needs. Grateful to have chairs, umbrellas, etc. to use. No construction noise and the neighbouring Westin is far enough to be a non-issue.
Honua Kai is well maintained, but is showing its age. Prime Lahaina location and quick walk to grocery store. Communal BBQs are very clean, and we never had to wait long to use them.
No complaints or issues. Some suggestions: oven mitts would be handy, and uneven count of dishes and cutlery (just use spoons when you run out of forks). Be careful using chefs knife: dull (no knife sharpener) and there are some chips.
We would absolutely return to book this unit.

This spacious condo has all the amenities necessary for a wonderful stay in Maui. Dean, the owner was wonderful to communicate with and Monty, the property manager on island was very attentive to any needs we might have....of which we had none! The rooms are spacious and the bed is REALLY comfortable. Although the lanai does not have a full view of the ocean, it has a gorgeous partial view of both the ocean on one side and the west Maui mountains on the other. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking and dining wares and new appliances. Bathrooms are spacious and sparkling clean. The best thing about the 2nd floor unit is that you look right onto the top of a gorgeous plumeria tree outside the lanai and one of the bedrooms. The resort itself is beautiful and difficult to choose exactly what pool you want to swim in. Although small, the spa is very nice and we enjoyed one of the best massages we have ever had! Very nice size gym with state of the art equipment as well....it looks out onto the beautifully landscaped gardens. The boardwalk along the ocean is a great place to enjoy a brisk sunrise or sunset walk. We frequented the restaurant at Dukes for several meals and enjoyed the open-air ambience and excellent food.....and beverages of course! Which reminds me, the poolside beverage service is excellent as well! You might see reviews about the construction going on behind the resort however we did not hear any noise whatsoever during our stay! This condo was an amazing value for it's location, comfort, amenities and excellent condition. We loved our stay at Honua Kai and would definitely return in the future!

Words cannot describe the beauty of the Honua Kai property and especially of this condo in the Konea Tower-102. This was a very special trip for our family. We met up in Hawaii from Colorado, Virginia and California with kids, their spouses and grandchildren to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries.
This trip had been in the planning for over a year. Working with Brandon, the owner, and Monty, the property manager was a very pleasant experience. I had many questions along the way and questions were answered very quickly.
The condo is absolutely incredible. It was so nice to stay on the beautiful island of Maui, a wonderful resort and to top it off with a luxurious condo. There were nine in our party. The three bedrooms are all large with very comfortable beds. The bathrooms are very well appointed and have ample room. Fixtures, showers, etc. all beautiful and high end. The living space is huge. Big dining room, very big and efficient kitchen. One of the best parts is the large lanai with enough room for everyone to relax and have wonderful barbecues. We spent breakfast and dinner on patio every night.
One very special amenity was the surround sound. Hawaiian music played throughout our stay.
I would definitely request this same condo again. We had three small children with us and they stayed in living room on the two hidabeds and a rented rollaway. All three couples were able to have their private space and individual bathroom which makes for happy vacationers.
We have visited Maui many times, but this was by far our most special trip.
We were able to make this our beautiful home for 11 nights. Hated to see it end.
We have rented VRBO's before, but I have never been given the attention and courtesy that I received from owner, Brandon.
Can't wait to return.
