This property was exactly as advertised. Beautiful, peaceful location overlooking the cove. We walked down from our unit to the cove and enjoyed great snorkeling with many sea turtles.The host (Cyndy) and on island manager (Victor) were very responsive and had great dining recommendations. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our fifth visit to the cove in the past 30 years, and it did not disappoint. The view from the unit is outstanding. You can see the sea turtles swimming under the water, from the balcony. The ocean breeze, through the unit and the sound of the water, made for a peaceful stay. The unit is well stocked for cooking and was very clean. The only bummer is there was no additional blanket for the pullout couch. Only sheets. Not a huge deal, in August though. The king bed and pillows were super comfy! The front desk ladies are so very nice and helpful. We will def stay in this unit again. The groundskeeper, Ray does a fantastic job. The property is absolutely beautiful.

Bright and kitchen has more stuff than my house! The kitchen is thin and tight and the master bath is beyond tiny but the location to the water is perfect and views are off the hook. I can see why everyone wants 105I will be back as I always do, best place to stay on the island hands down.

Location, location, location! The condo complex is incredible. The views from the condo are fabulous. The grounds are kept immaculate. The condo is dated, but there is no reason to stay inside. The lanai, pool and cove keep you outside. Everyone is extremely friendly. Condo perks are air conditioning in bedroom, new comfortable mattress, new snorkeling equipment,new beach chairs and umbrella. Definitely recommend!!!

Absolutely loved our stay at this gem of a place. Perfect space for our family of 5. The condo itself is beautifully styled, comfortable beds, well stocked with everything we needed. Condo complex is well maintained and beautiful, quiet, and ideal for sitting and watching the sunset. Honokeana Cove is a magical and serene spot with some really awesome snorkeling and paddle boarding. Communication with both Cyndy, the owner, and Victor, the property manager, was top notch. We hope to book again in the future!

Great low key stay with beautiful view. The space worked well for our family with the teens in the bedroom with the two twin beds and us in the loft. Cove access is on the property and requires navigating over smooth stones. We saw many turtles during our stay.

Well stocked kitchen, appreciated the variety of spices provided. Husband appreciated nice BBQ grills. Access to snorkeling was so easy and we snorkeled with the resident turtles every day and admired them sleeping on the beach every night. Loved proximity to Napili Beach. Enjoyed the laid-back vibe here, it is a small community and everyone was very friendly. Resident manager does a great job maintaining everything and keeping the grounds beautiful. Would definitely stay in this unit again!

What a lovely spot on a quiet cove with excellent snorkeling just steps away. We all loved the vibe of this small complex. The only thing I would say is that if you are counting on the “futon” for a 7th person to sleep on, it is not really adequate for anyone other than a small child. We were planning to use it for an adult and had to scramble our sleeping plans at the beginning. The on-site manager was able to get us an air mattress to use, which I appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.

At the last minute, Napili Point cancelled our stay due to a plumbing leak. I had to scramble to find a new place. Boy, was I lucky to find Honokeana Cove! A great site located on the cove with easy access to beautiful fish and lots of turtles. Also had a large grass area to play or relax in the sun and a nice pool. Our condo unit was very nice, clean and looked right over the bay with turtles resting right below us in the afternoon. Definitely would love to return here again!

If you want a laid back, beautiful location and especially if you love to snorkel, this complex is hard to beat. The unit is great, we’ve stayed multiple times. The cove is easily accessible for snorkeling or SUP, cool off in the pool, BBQs with an amazing view and awesome sunsets. Great communication from Victor, the local person who manages the unit for the owner.

Reviewer Comments: We had 4 units, and #114 was definitely the nicest one, the owners sent us a postcard before we arrived, and also left us a $50 gift certificate to the local store, little things that they don’t have to do, but their pride in ownership really shows. They had beach chairs, snorkel equipment etc... again the little things that all add up to a great trip. The condo itself was in great shape. A wonderful place to enjoy the Cove!!! Cari in front office was great and Ray the property manager was on point. Grounds were immaculate. Can’t wait to return.

Air conditioners were needed, cause the sun shines brightly in the afternoon hours. Only complaint in this unit is the pull out couch, you basically Can Not sit on it, this needs to be addressed by owner immediately, someone at the Cove go sit on it and you will see. Everything else was top notch, including Cari in front office and Ray the property manager. Grounds were immaculate. Great Stay!

Grounds were very clean and immaculate. Loved the air conditioner in the bedroom, all units should have at least one portable air conditioner in one of the rooms in case of hot weather. Maybe owner could provide a Tommy Bahama Umbrella. Only other thing is the carpet in the unit is a little “tired” owner should replace all carpet with some type of hard surface. Otherwise everything was Great. Love the Cove!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed in room #106, view and location awesome. Main bathroom shower was great, water pressure in shower great. Cabinet drawer under sink needs to be fixed. Master bed fine, could have better pillows, plus maybe add a small TV. Only complaints, kitchen could use some Tupperware and plastic tumblers, bowls and cooking utensils, (we actually bought some plastic tumblers and left them in unit) not as well equipped as other units. We had a total of 4 units all but #106 had a couple Tommy Bahama chairs, foam noodles etc... plus lanai could use updated chairs and more hooks to hang towels. Cari in front office was great and so was property manager Ray. Every unit should have at least 2 Tommy Bahama Beach Chairs, and some foam noodles to float on all pretty inexpensive. Grounds were immaculate...Great Stay!

Great snorkeling each day, tons of turtles and tropical fish, along with some surprises ( no sharks😞). Property impeccably maintained- close to so many places.
