Property was perfect for the family vacation we needed. It’s been years since we have been to Maui, we loved the property, amenities and location. It was very relaxing and just what we needed! Thank you for having us, we plan to come back again.

We chose this location to give sister-in-law her first Maui experience. Viewing the grand lobby, landscape, and pools as one enters the property. The front staff a pleasure to meet. 1st night dinner at Dukes and 1st sunset were super. The view, with the wrap around Lani, were outstanding. The indoor space, was well laid out and enhanced the visit experience. We enjoyed the property, and look to rent again.

Out family had the best time staying at this property and unit. On top of being nice and quiet on the top floor, the owner has water toys for guests to enjoy. Our kids especially had fun with the boogie boards. We will be back!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Everything was as advertised. It was great to have a private outdoor cooking area, especially with little ones. The nearby pool was super convenient and the kids loved the Honua Kai pools and water slide.

The condo was very clean and had all the needed amenities. It was so nice to have the two bedrooms and two separate bathrooms. Short of as to a supermarket to cook meals at the condo or walk to Dukes. Try the pono pie!

The 5th floor unit was clean & a pretty good side-view of the ocean. The bed was very comfortable. There were few ' extra' supplies provided, such as a very small shampoo sample, 2 rolls of toilet paper. The large patio was wonderful, but it was noisy a couple times below our unit since the drive to the public beach ends in the back of this building & the public beach is not too far from that side of the building .

This is our second time at Honua Kai. This time we rented a two bedroom. We love it here. The pools are great. The ocean is great. The location is great. My only disappointment is Duke’s restaurant. I’ve been to many various Duke’s locations over the years. I was disappointed in the food and drinks. Just not that tasty.

This condo was the perfect home base for us to enjoy a week in Maui! It was super clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The king bed was comfortable and my 9 year old was comfy on the sofa bed. The pools and nearby beach were great. The condo was super quiet. Good communication with the host. No problems at all. The kid thought everything was very fancy, lol. A lovely family vacation. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay! Perfect for ourselves and our two adult daughters and their husband/boyfriend. We had a wonderful time and the accommodations were perfect!!! Would absolutely book this condo again!

This unit was perfect for our family! Evan was extremely communicative in making sure we had everything we needed leading up to our stay. We happened to be there during my daughter's 9th birthday and Evan was very helpful in showing me how to book a cabana at the pool for the day. She absolutely loved it! The unit was the perfect size for our family of 4, with two younger children. My girls especially loved the accordion doors that opened up to the balcony with beautiful views of the mountains from the top floor. Highly recommend this unit. We will absolutely be back again!

We booked this for our anniversary and had the best time! The resort was easy to get to and access and the location was great. We loved having the beach walk right outside our place as well as the Dukes restaurant and there is even a small craft fair outside on wednesdays. The pools were nice with easy towel access and beach access was easy with beach chair provided in the property. Enjoyed everything about it and the property management was easy to reach if we needed anything.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 4 had a great stay in the Konea 508 at the Honua Kai.1. The apartment was spacious. It had a bedroom for me and my husband and two sofa beds so my kids did not have to share a room. We would have preferred a bunk bed or two twins in the den area because taking out and putting away the sofa beds was kind of a pain, but we knew that going in and chose it so at least the kids wouldn't have to share a bed.2. It was great to have access to a full kitchen and washer/ dryer.3. You couldn't see the ocean from inside the unit, but you there was a partial ocean view from the deck. The deck got morning sun so it was a little hot to have morning coffee out there unless we were up early. But it was great in the afternoon and evening.4. The unit was nicely equipped with beach chairs and boogie boards. 5. Check in was very easy with having a door code and just needing to check in for a parking pass.6. The pool areas were all nice. I just wish there were more umbrellas and/ or the umbrellas could be tilted to provide shade at different sun angles.5. The beach was great, the waves were not too big and my family was even able to do some snorkeling right off the beach. Beautiful sunsets6. We loved Duke's restaurant and ate dinner there twice and ordered by the pool a few times. Reservations book up quickly but there is a walk up list. We put our name in at 5:15 one day and we were seated around 6pm.

This is a great location that is quiet but close to the pool and beach. Great for families as we have three boys under the age of 10. We will use this place again for our next stay in Maui.

I stayed at this property in Oct/2024 with my husband and 2 boys ages 7 and 9. This property was perfect for our famiky of 4. The pullout couch was comfortable for my boys, the kitchen had everything we needed to make our own breakfasts and lunches, and the beach chairs/cooler/boogie board provided were an amazing perk. The pools were awesome and we loved snorkeling right off of the beach! Id highly recommend this property!

Beautiful resort style condo in a gorgeous setting. Bright unit with great energy. Although not front ocean view, the view was spectacular from the balcony. The owner Bob was extremely responsive and thoughtful. We will definitely be back!!

We loved the place… comfortable rooms and beds, clean and welcoming gathering area… large lanai with nice, comfortable seating and a view of the pool’s waterfall. The pool area was great, often had it to ourselves. Beach chairs were appreciated as we tooked them on our all trips to the beaches.

Amazing property! View was amazing. Ours first morning we were greeted with by a beautiful rainbow. We have stayed in VRBOs before and this one was Fully stocked. Extremely clean and comfortable. We felt right at home. Checkin and checkout process was smooth. Contact with owners Bruno and Roger was easy and caring. We loved that the apartment was close to quick elevator access to pool and beach. Property grounds, pool and beach are beautiful. Thank you Tonin brothers we will be back!!!

This was our 3rd time staying at this resort. We love the resort amenities & you can't beat the location. The best beach in our opinion is just a 10-15 min walk from the resort. We would NOT stay in this condo again. First off, the huge patio is great but it's actually a SHARED patio with several units. It actually appears it's shared with all the other units on the entire floor. The only thing separating the patios is a large planter that even an adult could walk by. So for families with young children this place is a nightmare especially if you have a runner! This place is not maintained & so many things are falling apart. The ice maker doesn't work because the cover was not installed properly. It ended up falling off completely and you could see inside it had been repaired before and held together with zip ties. Drawers on furniture fell off, shelving in the freezer fell off, NONE of the doors locked properly inside the condo so that was fun with us having 2 toddlers opening the bathroom doors while we are in there and no lock on mom and dad's bedroom door for some private time. The toilet handle broke so at the end of the trip we only had 1 toilet. We made the owner aware of all of these situations and she showed no empathy whatsoever or tried to make up for anything. The garbage disposal didn't work and her response was she would have a tech come the following week & no other units have one. Owner was snippy & there's a novel at the place with all the rules. Never again.

This was the second place we stayed on Maui and it was the best! The owners have thought of everything, from beach chairs and umbrella, coffee pods, all kitchen and bathroom needs, arrival champagne and chocolate! Extremely clean, comfortable beds. Two masters made it perfect for two couples traveling together. Having Dukes on site was wonderful takeout meals. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets from the lanai every night we were there! Joe was very responsive. Would definitely book again.

October 2024

This unit was everything and more! We would definitely stay here again. The second floor was easy to get to and the view of the ocean and property was amazing. For a studio it felt spacious and loved the vitamix , coffee maker and Tommy bahama beach chairs. We added a Tommy bahama umbrella. Thank you for a great place to celebrate our anniversary!! Mahalo!

Beautiful spot! It was nice having chairs, snorkels and floaties. I would add a small ice chest to keep in there as well.

Amazing condo unit on an amazing property! The location can’t be beat, the condo is spacious and clean, quiet, and well stocked. The owners (Jill and Terry) are fantastic to work with and super helpful. Jill personally called me when I initially booked (I’d been communicating with her about one of their other condos and accidentally booked this one instead.) Turns out it was a happy accident (but they were more than happy to fix it if I wanted them to!) They are super helpful and accommodating, the unit is beautiful and their check in and out instructions super helpful and reasonable. You can’t beat the location (4 pools and Dukes right on the property, beach steps from pools) and the partial ocean view is exactly as described (do be aware that it is a partial ocean view so you do need to be on the side balcony looking out to see the view but I personally don’t mind it to be honest). The view is gorgeous and the unit faces a public park and parking lot so it’s pretty quiet all hours of the day. We have stayed on the Honua Kai property several times and we’ll definitely be back to stay in this unit! Mahalo to Jill and Terry for allowing our family to use your wonderful home!

Kona Kai is a perfect place to stay with family. The beach is great. The pools are great. A grocery store is in walking distance. I would say the only negative is Duke’s restaurant. Sadly, the food and drinks were a disappointment. I’ve been to many other Duke’s restaurant locations in the past, but somethings gone awry.

We had a great vacation in this condo! The room was cute and had a beautiful view of the resort and the ocean. The resort complex the condo was in was gorgeous and really gave the luxury vacation feel despite being much cheaper than the major hotel resorts on the island. It was a short walk from the ocean, a grocery store, and a food truck park. The host was great and very helpful! While we were there the A/C broke, and she responded to us immediately and got it fixed very quickly. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great trip to Maui!

Our stay in the Maui condo exceeded all expectations! The location was perfect, with easy access right from the pool. The decor was stunning, and the layout—with two suites—was ideal for two couples traveling together. We especially loved the spacious lanai with foldable doors, which brought the outdoors in. The condo was also stocked with all the little extras, making our stay even more enjoyable!

The condo was Very clean and organized with comfy chairs, couches and beds. It was nice that they left a bag of coffee, but the kitchen is pretty minimum. There was salt, pepper and oil only. No Tupperware, little plastic baggies, or kid-friendly flatware, utensils or cups. No issues with the place, except for it it would’ve been nice to have some more stuff for the kids there, like sand toys, a stool, and an extra mattress for the pack and play. They did provide the pack and play though, so that was nice. They were very quick to respond to any/all my requests via Email. Would definitely stay there again.

My husband and I spent a week at this beautiful condo enjoying all things Maui. It was our first time to Maui and this location and the condo was perfect. It was exactly as described with a terrific location for accessing the island attractions. The resort is beautiful and quiet with lovely garden areas, lots of pools and easy access to the beach. The condo had everything we could possibly need. We will be back! Mahalo!

This is a great location and resort! It was very clean and had everything we needed—plenty of towels, soap, etc. We used their transportation service several times to go to different places on Maui, and those guys were great. They were always on time, funny, and great people. We would definitely stay again!

Property was clean and matched the description and photos. We had everything we needed. Property manager was very quick to respond but thankfully, we really didn’t have any issues. We traveled with 3 school age children, so we had 2 kids in 1 bedroom and 1 on the pull out sofa. Since we had access to the balcony from the master bedroom, my husband and I were able to relax on the balcony after the kids went to bed. The first few days of our stay the shore break at the beach right outside the resort was a little too rough but we had a lot of fun in the pool and there are calmer beaches close by. Having the restaurant right at the resort was very convenient. Delicious food, but expensive. Would definitely recommend renting or bringing snorkel equipment, because there’s a fair amount to see at the beach at the resort.

Everything was clean and beautiful, although all linens had a strong perfume smell so we had to rewash before use. I was disappointed in the way Duke's treated outrigger customers. Their reasonably priced bar menu was changed to only include 8 tables in one small section where you cannot put your name on a list. You must stalk the customers and rush to their table when they stand up. It's horrible. The meal took an hour to arrive and the server said it's because that menu is only available such a small portion of customers, that it takes longer and it was only available because the resort requested that they offer burgers and reasonably priced items. So I guess they "checked a box". I would never eat there again due to this. That means, there's no other reasonable food on premises which makes this resort less desirable for future visits. Also, the listing for this unit specifically says "outdoor gear" under included amenities and that's simply not true. You can "rent" gear on premises for a hefty fee (vs renting from Auntie Snorkel in town on your way to the resort). I felt it was misleading and brought it to their attention but they didn't seem to get my point that the listing should be revised. The pools are really wonderful for kids, even a 4 year old. And adults of course! Clean and relaxing. Plenty of chairs to choose from. Beach is lovely (except if you enter on the right side of property - there's a homelesss person living in the palm trees).

Stunning property-great location The description made it seem as if an Oceanview was available from both bedrooms-this was not the case Some of the furniture was a bit worn I did not appreciate the cleaning staff asking to come in 15 minutes prior to our departure time-I found this stressful and we felt pushed out

We loved this property. Spotlessly clean, modern, and spacious. We loved having our own garage and privacy when entering our condo yet having the perks of the nearby resort pools, restaurant, and stores. The condo was perfect for myself, 4 kids, and 2 grand parents. We also enjoyed the small pool directly across from the condo when we didn’t feel like walking to the resort. I would certainly stay again

Stayed there in Oct with a family of 4 - wife and 2 teenage daughters. Everything was lovely, location was great! Loved the poolside bar service, which not all condos there have. No issues getting a place to lounge by the pool, there is a parking garage under the complex. Checkin was great, staff was great. Would highly recommend.
