This property was perfect for a family with children ages 6 thru 20. Always something to do. Beach and snorkling were great. Comfortable and clean accommodations and great view. Property managers were available and helpful.Everyone loved it.

Fantastic location with gorgeous ocean views. Easy access to the beach great for snorkeling. Property manager was easy to reach. Few inconveniences were approx 2 hour power outage one of the evenings. And the dryer didn’t work properly despite maintenance coming to fix. Also larger pots and pans and a rice cooker in the kitchen would’ve been nice considering the room sleeps 8. Overall a great property and we’d come back again!

We loved our stay. The room was spacious and very quiet. The resort has an amazing beach and large pool. Our host sent very helpful emails with resort information and great ideas for family fun before we even arrived. We would absolutely stay here again.

My family and I had a wonderful time at this condo. It was in the perfect location, clean and had everything we needed. The entire family enjoyed the pools, beach, and scenery. Randy was super awesome in sharing recommendations which helped us with our planning. We will definitely request this condo when we come back. Randy and Mary you’re amazing! Thanks for making our experience memorable!

Unit was clean and spacious. We especially enjoyed the large shared lanai. Will definitely return and stay here again.

As soon as we walked in, we were blown away by the views, but it didn't stop there. Beautiful kitchen, spacious bathrooms and large balconies equipped with plenty of seating. Having the barbq was great for dinners on the balcony. It was great to have views of one of the pools as well as the ocean with beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed being able to hear the music from Dukes ~ it's not loud but we could hear it. The only thing I might mention is that this is quite a walk from the elevators, so if you have somebody that struggles to get around keep that in mind. We loved everything about it and will rent it again! Make reservations ahead of time for Dukes ~ it's tough to get in.

We really enjoy staying in 1st floor places since we can just walk right out to the beach or the pool. This was a quiet location and close to the lobby. You can walk right out to the beach (about 2 minutes) and be in some of the most beautiful snorkeling in the world. The condo was good sized as well.

Everything from booking months ago to checking out was seamless. The Wilsons were extremely helpful and quick to respond; even checking in to make sure we got there and asked if we needed anything. The unit was exactly as described and had everything we needed. The photos are what you get but even better! This specific unit is located in such a perfect spot with regards to the pool, beach and elevator to the parking garage making our daily routines very easy. This was our first VRBO experience and it literally could not have gone any smoother! Absolutely zero apprehension recommending this place to family and friends.

We have gone to Maui many times and love the Honua Kai Resort & Spa. This cute studio was perfect, has the perfect ocean view and easy Access to the elevators. Fully equipped with all kitchen needs and very clean. We will continue booking this unit for our next Maui vacation.

Great snorkeling right in front of Duke's. Property has three pools, one with a waterslide. Rent your snorkel from Snorkel Bob's across the street. Hit up the food truck lot at the end of the day. The condo itself is solid. Clean and comfortable. Management easy to work with.

Great property at Konua Kai Resort. Condo had everything we needed and more. Chris was a great communicator and even allowed us a late check-out due to a late flight home.

This is our second time staying at Honua Kai, first time in this tower and particular condo. The check-in time is not flexible so just be aware of that when booking flights. We were able to access the pool which was nice but definitely had some tired kiddos looking forward to lounging a bit. The unit has a beautiful view of the mountains and we saw a rainbow just as pictured in the listing! The unit was well equipped with beach toys for our adventures. A few things to note: We had to reach out to the owner because the thermostat is not easy to figure out and got very cold, it was 65 degrees - it was hot or cold. They sent someone to fix it and then it would only set to 70 which was still colder than we would have liked but better than 80 so we dealt with it. The dryer never dries clothes no matter how many cycles you do, I had to let the clothes dry on the bed after doing a dry cycle even at the highest heat. The nonstick pans could be replaced, they’re terribly scratched and we chose not to use them. Everything was great about this location, the communication was appreciated. Definitely recommend staying at Honua Kai, wherever it is you will enjoy it!

This was my families first trip to Maui. We wanted the full resort experience, and we got it! The room was very clean and came equipped with boogie boards, beach umbrella and beach blanket. We also loved how the sliding doors folded all the way open which gave that outdoor/indoor feel. The best part of the resort is all the beach front access. We spent every day at the beach, and it was so nice to walk out the doors and a few steps later be on the beach. We will book here again!

Fantastic stay at Honua Kai! This is our third time to this resort and feel it is the best location! Love the pools and beach access, very family friendly. This particular unit has beautiful views and is well appointed. There are some minor issues with the kitchen (cabinetry that needs to be repaired and dishwasher doesn't open all the way due to poor location/planning with refrigerator) however it is clean and is a corner unit. Of note, the "free rental car" is only for a family of 4, so you need to pay for an upgrade (even though this unit is rented out for 7 people) and it is only covered for 7 days, so if you stay longer be aware you will need to pay extra daily fee for the rental car.

Some hiccups with ongoing painting during our stay that wasn’t communicated, but pretty great place. Has vegetation on patio that screens you from folks walking through lobby which is helpful. Identical place across the way didn’t have it and they were really exposed to the general population. Trash is next door as well as gym. You can hear folks going into gym in the morning (if you’re a light sleeper). Trash room wasn’t a big deal, but a good thing to know if that’s something that may bug you. Needs some minor touch ups, wall paint by couch, kitchen sink leaks a bit, ceiling and fan light bulbs. If you compare to Montage or Grand Wailea, it’s kind of similar, but they’re ~$2k+/night. Should emphasize, not having to use the elevator is a huge benefit if it’s crowded at the resort. Overall a good value if your expectations are set appropriately. It was a great home base for our family.

The condo was very clean and comfortable. The resort had multiple pools, which our kids loved. The beach is right there and was good for snorkeling—as well as spotting sea turtles! The beach boardwalk was great with easy access to great restaurants. Bob was super organized with communications well in advance and very responsive during our stay.

Perfect place, location, amenities. Wish we could come back!! Our baby got sick so she had to stay in AZ so next time we will come back so she can see the place!

I stayed here with my daughter and we had a great time. You can walk down to the beach or pool. We liked that the pool area had multiple different pools so people were spread out instead of crammed into one. Great view of the pool and ocean. Close drive to kaanapali. Has a little store in the lobby for things you may have forgotten to bring or a snack. Parking can be a little difficult if you get back later in the evening. Overall, amazing stay!

We booked Joe’s condo as a nice way to wrap up the end of our trip — it did not disappoint ! The condo was beautiful and well furnished. Everything was modern and looked amazing. The beds (both bedroom and sofa bed) were extremely comfortable! The resort itself was beautiful and well maintained. If felt like we were staying at a luxury resort. Joe was a fantastic host - easily reachable at all times leading up to the trip as well as for the duration of our trip. 10/10 recommend this place to anyone and would definitely visit again! It was an amazing way to end our two week trip to Hawaii!

We were 7 adults and had ample space and room. Cooked often and kitchen was great! WiFi a bit spotty at times but were able to work around. Condo was clean upon arrival. Ample towels and having the washing machines were wonderful. Condo also has beach chairs and a cooler which we took a lot of advantage of. Resort team was quick to reply to questions and accommodating onsite. The pools and beach were lovely. Towel system was easy to use and cool system. And general store downstairs had great coffee! Overall would return and recommend for a great family time.

Great location, with beautiful view of beach from balcony. Beautiful resort grounds, very well maintained, with access to multiple pools. Beach has excellent snorkeling (snorkeling gear available in condo), including encounters with green turtles. Great information provided by host, smooth check-in, easy accessible parking in garage, and very friendly people everywhere. Beautiful condo, with truly everything provided in. Great food option nearby- teenagers loved walking to food truck area. We had a truly fun, relaxing beach vacation, with beautiful weather each day.

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!

This condo is beautiful! Had everything we needed. We loved our stay! Marissa was so kind and helped us extend our stay after our flight was cancelled. Beach, location, pools and grounds were just perfect!

My family of 4 (2 teens) enjoyed our stay at Honua Kai. The unit was clean and comfortable and the lanai was spacious with a lovely view. (The bathroom is very big but design wise, it would have been better to enclose the toilet so more people could use the bathroom at the same time.) The welcome box of macadamia chocolates and the bag of coffee was a nice surprise. If I had one suggestion, it would be to supply tissues and bath gel/bath soap as most rentals do.
