Highly Recommend Honua Kai Hokulani 214!

We LOVED our stay at the Honua Kai Hokulani 214. The room was clean and had everything we needed. We especially loved having the small kitchen to make some meals, the washer and dryer for doing laundry, and the beach chairs and umbrella for us to use. We loved sitting out on the patio each morning to enjoy our coffee/breakfast with the beautiful view of the ocean on one side and mountains on the other. The property manager provided great customer service and responded quickly to any questions we had, including making accommodations to move the cleaning schedule to allow for us to have a later checkout. We loved all of the pools, the workout facility, and having the beautiful beach so close for swimming and snorkeling. We enjoyed eating at Duke's a couple of times, which is right on the property. They even have great gluten free options which we needed. I would definitely recommend this location to family and friends. Thank you for an amazing vacation!

Comfortable condo with a peak-a-boo view

This is our second time to the resort and did not disappoint. This condo was perfect for our family of 3. We weren't sure about the privacy with it facing the Westin, but it's actually perfectly located in that it looks at the elevators so there is not someone on the balcony across. It has a basic set of kitchen pots/pans etc enough to cook a few meals there if desired. The team was extremely responsive and we appreciated the 11 am checkout and minimal checklist allowing us to stay in the vaca mode as long as possible.

Fabulous Vacation Rental

This was our second vacation stay at the Honua Kai and we would consider this unit to have been the best of the 2 by far. The price was considerably better than the previous rental which to us, was important because that allowed us to enjoy more activities and meals at Duke's! Check in was seamless and we enjoyed having the valet parking for those days when you are really exhausted from hanging out in the sun. This rental had all the important extras such as the Tommy Bahamas beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, cooler, etc. I was worried about not having the ocean/pool view but I actually enjoyed this view just as much as the greenery was beautiful and it was incredibly peaceful. The only thing missing were the chair cushions for the balcony. It would be nice if they were replaced as it would make the deck chairs more comfortable. There was construction going on for the 3rd phase of Honua Kai but it didn't affect our stay in any way, whatsoever. Thank you to Megan for keeping in touch whenever we had a question before and after our visit. We will definitely book with Hawaii Life again!

Accurate description & great property!

I was there with my husband and 2 kids. Property was exactly as described. It is clean & well maintained. Megan responded quickly when I text her with questions. Property was beautiful, easily walkable to beach or other areas near hotel for dining & walking boardwalk in the morning or evenings. Easy 5-10 minute drive if going farther down beach or to Whalers. Beach accessories & chairs were great to have in room. Only addition would be to have some type of baking dishes/muffin pans to use in the oven as the only thing in the condo are fry pans.. Overall, amazing stay and would absolutely stay again.

Chef-Ready Kitchen
Bosch stainless appliances, generous granite tops, and a full array of cookware invite farm-to-table feasts whether you're preparing an island-inspired brunch or a sunset dinner with fresh market finds.

Outdoor Oasis

Sep 24, 2024 Perfect Vacation Spot Perfect unit for a quiet vacation in paradise! Great location, great views. Unit was well equipt. Host team responded immediately with the few questions that we had. Will definitely stay here again! Lisa V.
Sep 24, 2024 Lovely unit My family stayed here as an extension to our vacation. We liked this unit more than the one we rented prior in the same resort. The layout is perfect, the unit was clean, comfortable, and was equipped with everything you need. The view is great for the price, I enjoyed my coffee on the balcony with the ocean & the mountains while my family snoozed away. The only issue we had was the first night, we went to close the lanai doors and one of the handles snapped off. We hadn’t had any issues with the doors in the previous unit, so I believe the handle was just worn. We let the property manager know and it was fixed the next day while we were out enjoying the day. Overall it was a great unit & we would stay there again. Jenice T.
Sep 24, 2024 Perfect Rental for a Family! I am originally from Maui and looked for a rental that I could bring my family back for a vacation. The unit had everything that we could have wanted, and then some! This rental exceeded our expectations! What really made this unit stand out was all the little details. Upon arrival, the unit was cooled, cleaned and had a nice welcome gift. It included a pack & play and high chair for the little one, sand toys, coolers, plastic cups for the beach/pool, well stocked kitchen and bath supplies (soaps, trash bags, detergents, etc.), beach chairs and umbrellas, a Keurig AND coffee maker, and all the necessary kitchen utensils. From a location standpoint, it was close to trash/recycling, close to the stairs for easy access to the garage, close to the elevator to get down to the beach and pool and the lanai had a view of both the mountains and ocean. The Hawaii Life staff was also great! They provided clear information regarding the unit and the check-in and check-out process. During our stay they were available to answer any questions we had. We did have broken umbrellas in our unit, and they staff had them replaced within hours! We definitely would recommend this property to friends & family and will surely be back! Marc R.
Sep 24, 2024 Immaculate! Great stay! Family of 4 (myself, 3 kids ages 12-16) stayed here and wished we never had to leave. As a VRBO owner myself, I notice everything, and this unit was immaculate! It was well stocked with everything we needed and even had brand-new appliances. The owners were communicative and quick to respond. The resort itself was well maintained and had several pools appropriate for all different ages. The older kids liked to walk around and head to the food trucks nearby for "snacks" and to the pizza place just across the road. We enjoyed so many adventures-too many to list (paragliding, snuba, surf lessons, cliff jumping, black rock beach). We can't wait to come back. What a great find! KRISTEN M.
Sep 24, 2024 Great location and professional management The condo is well appointed for a couple. The resort is in a great location. Family oriented. Not super over serviced but with a good mix of options from cook yourself to a nice restaurant. Self serve activities to a spa. Richard M.
Sep 24, 2024 Excellent Location! Spacious, well maintained unit at a beautiful resort. Nice quiet side of the building and lovely balcony where you can sip your morning coffee, and have a glass of wine at the end of the day. This was my second visit to this resort and I highly recommend. Sabrina H.
Sep 24, 2024 Great place to stay at. This is our second time staying at Honua Kai and we love it. Great location, great rooms and everything is close by. David M.

Sep 24, 2024 Wonderful place for a family vacation I rented 3 condos for a 50th anniversary celebration for my family. Everyone was very happy with their accommodations. Della M.
Sep 24, 2024 Perfect Maui Vacation The condo was great and had everything we needed - from kitchen items to laundry soap to nice Tommy Bahama chairs. The location was awesome and it was great to have the calm beach there to snorkel, pool with water slide and Dukes on the premises. Would definitely return again! Clarissa C.

Sep 24, 2024 Great Family Vacation Great for a family with kids. Loved the pool, Duke’s and the beach. Jacob G.
Sep 24, 2024 Lovely Unit Great unit that was exactly as described. A lot of extra amenities. We liked that beach chairs and coolers were provided. Would stay again. Tara T.
Sep 24, 2024 Hokulani 214, a great choice The view from our balcony was much better than expected from the picture. We were able to view both the beach and the ocean while enjoying our morning coffee and our meals. The apartment was immaculate, spacious, and very comfortable. The kitchen provided all the utensils we needed for preparing our meals. The layout of the apartment was great for entertaining and relaxing. The pools and patios of Honua Kai were easily accessed and fun for both adults and kids. the beach and boardwalk were outstanding for walking, swimming, and whale watching.We only stayed for a week and would have been very happy to stay much longer. Gary C.
Sep 24, 2024 Nice and enjoyable stay My stay was very enjoyable. The layout of our room was easy for my toddler to move around. The place was clean and quiet. Megan was very helpful throughout my stay. Ann C.
Sep 24, 2024 The Best Anniversary and Birthday spent! It was the best placed we had stayed at Maui. Hokulani was gave us the most relaxing place. Everything you need is there. To the point that my husband made a reservation to a restaurant for my bday but instead I told him to cancel it instead we have a nice dinner at condo. It was so nice like we were in a high in restaurant. We open the sliding doors and it was quiet. Anyway when I said everything is there washer and dryer. Nice stove to cook your meal, washing machine and 2 coffee maker. If you want to go to the beach chairs, umbrella, cooler bag they have it there for you. The sheets and the bed was so relaxing for you to end your day. All of the staffs are very nice and pleasant. Definitely we will come back to this condo and we would really recommend it to our friends. Best place for you and your family. With 4 pools and hot tub and the beach access is just couple steps away from your tower. Duke’s just there for your quick snack or nice meal. Thilda P.
Sep 24, 2024 Magical and as described Hello, Our family will be back. The property manager was very helpful and attentive from start to finish. The property clean and fully equipped. Beautiful inside and out. What a great experience and the service exceeds most. Monica W.
Sep 24, 2024 Great Condo! We have stayed at Honua Kai twice now. The condo was beautiful and the place is amazing. Great Vacation. Everyone at Hawaii Life was very helpful and was great working with Meagan. Thanks! Raychel c.
Sep 24, 2024 Beautiful place and perfectly located This is a beautiful condo and we loved being right by dukes. In fact, when you order food or drinks at the pool it comes from dukes. There are several pools and hot tubs. We loved that they had a beach bag, beach chairs, and a beach umbrella. I believe there was some kids beach toys as well. You will love this place! Trevor H.

Sep 24, 2024 Kaanapali 2022 The condo was clean and conveniently located. The whole property was great. Dukes was very nice to have Duke's right there on the grounds. The location was perfect. Beverly R.
Sep 24, 2024 Home for a Week We had such a great time! Overall, we made lots of memories and having a beautiful, clean place to call home for the week with all the conveniences of home made our stay that much better and easier! The washer/dryer was VERY handy. There was some construction on the next lot over, but my little boys thought it was great to see all the dump trucks. In fact, every morning my husband would slide open the doors/wall to the lanai and my boys would watch the trucks and eat breakfast. The noise wasn't bothersome to us at all since we weren't in the room much except for meals and sleeping. My kids and my husband and I loved the pools! The boys went down the water slide more times than I could count! We took advantage of Dukes for dinner one night and we also used the barbeques by the pool. We loved how close we were to both pools and ocean. We brought snorkel gear and we all were amazed that we could go right out the back of the condo and snorkel. We saw sea urchins, eels, and lots of colorful fish (bring surf booties). The beach chairs and umbrella were nice to have too. All the staff were helpful and friendly and we took advantage of the photo session and free 8x10 (Melissa took our photos and she was great with my boys). Megan and Jeremy were also great to work with. They answered all my questions and treated us like family. In the welcome folder they had a list of their favorite things on the island and we took advantage of many of their personal recommendations. The location is also great! It's about 10 minutes from Lahaina. It was close enough to make it easy to see the Banyan tree, and eat at restaurants on Front St, but also far enough away where we didn't feel like we were with everyone in Maui. I felt very safe walking around the lobby and outside areas by myself and with my young children. There were LOTS of families and it was wonderful seeing folks spending time with one another. We will recommend this place to our friends and family. M. S.
Sep 24, 2024 Great Family Vacation This unit was perfect for us. It has a good sized kitchen and laundry which were useful when travelling with a 1.5 year old. The bed, linens, and bathroom were also very nice. Only negative would be the construction outside the lanai which you probably know about when booking. We found the lanai not very useful because of the noise and dirt. Overall a great experience. It was like staying in a 4 star hotel with all the amenities of your own condo. Felt like home for the week! Lawson B.
Sep 24, 2024 Great condo! We enjoyed our week in this condo. Well stocked with beach gear and a great location! The lanai is quiet, but doesn't have much an ocean view. Chris J.

Sep 24, 2024 Fun in Maui It was a little hectic with the new check in, but once our name was found on the list everything was smooth. The resort is fabulous. Especially with a toddler who never wanted to leave the pools. Also great having one of our favourite restaurants onsite. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Steven G.
Sep 24, 2024 1st Time in Paradise This was my wife and I's first trip to Hawaii. It was for our 30th wedding anniversary. The location of Honua Kai is ideal for getting around Maui. Lots of conveniences from grocery stores to shopping. The property is superb. Unit 214 was everything we needed and expected. It is very comfortable and upto date. We highly recommend it. Deron K.
Sep 24, 2024 Beautiful vacation rental in a gorgeous location! We just returned from a wonderful 9-night stay in 'Kamalu'. We have stayed in numerous hotel and condo rentals during our many years of visiting Maui, but have returned to Honua Kai every trip for the last five years. The property location is absolutely ideal, offering close proximity to the bustling Lahaina area and the main Ka'anapali Beach resort and shopping area, but still feeling a little more secluded and 'away from it all'. Unit 214 itself was clean and very well appointed with beach chairs, an umbrella, towels, and all sorts of fun beach gear. There was a wonderful, full spice rack, coffee maker and some extra condiments in the fridge. We were a little concerned at just how close we would be to the Westin Nanea building, but the pictures actually make it appear closer than it was. Even better, the unit does not directly face any of the Nanea rooms, so you do not feel like you are staring at your neighbors while sitting on the lanai (which I did every morning while my husband checked his work e-mails). Megan was wonderful to work with and was even able to accommodate an early check-in for us, which was greatly appreciated since we were lucky enough to catch a non-stop flight and arrive on the island about 11am. The on-site restaurant, Duke's, is great for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Just be sure to make reservations for dinner as they book up really quickly and no one wants to wait an hour for dinner. ;0) We had a wonderful trip and are already planning our next visit. We will definitely consider booking with Hawaii Life again! Mahalo! Jennifer O.
Sep 24, 2024 Vacation Getaway Had a great stay at Honua Kai 214! The condo was clean & spacious and the property is well maintained. Would definitely recommend! Ashley I.
Sep 24, 2024 Great Stay My wife and I and two young children stayed at this condo for 2 weeks. We really enjoyed our stay. It is a large, clean, well equipped unit. Thomas S.
Sep 24, 2024 Amazing Place!!! This was our 1st time using VRBO and it was a great experience! The condo is beautiful, well kept and extremely clean. The owners are wonderful and communication from the beginning to the end was awesome. The condo is equipped with everything you need including beach chairs,beach bag, beach towels and even a FUN boogie Board! The resort property is beautiful, well kept and the people were so kind. The property is centrally located and easily accessible to the beach and other activities. The property is also very kid friendly and the 3 pools are amazing! We will definitely book this condo again! Thank you for our wonderful stay Megan! The Longs :) Dawnmarie L.
Sep 24, 2024 The perfect resort From the amazing pools, and beautiful grounds, this is the perfect resort. Dukes restaurant on campus is one of the best on the island. They even have a mini market that makes grabbing things very convenient. Honua Kai is hands down our favorite resort on the island. Jason C.
Sep 24, 2024 Clean, Updated, great location! This rental unit was clean, updated, in an awesome location for snorkeling off the beach, and equipped with everything you might need for a good vacation. We did lack access to the balcony due to painting on the first day but it was resolved quickly and I believe we were refunded some due to this. The floors might have needed a mop due to the workers as well but absolutely situational. We loved cooking at home but there was a great restaurant on the property. The concierge Leah was incredible, booking us the most memorable experiences. We would absolutely stay again! Cristen F.
Sep 24, 2024 Very Nice Beautiful Roxanne H.
Sep 24, 2024 Great location Loved the location. Within walking distance to everything you may need. The beach chairs and umbrella are great to have. We were able to relax and enjoy poolside early in the day, then beach before sunset! Kathleen B.
Sep 24, 2024 Amazing Place to stay. 5 Stars We were there as a family of 4 for 8 days in Dec. Amazing place. Well stocked with supplies, utensils and beach equipment. Resort was beautiful and convenient. Very friendly and communicative host. Highly recommend. Will stay there again. 5 Stars. Naga P.

Jan 14, 2024 Amazing Condo, great for a Family Vacation! This rental was just what we needed to feel like we were on vacation, it’s so nice to come to a nice clean rental and feel comfortable. The check in process was very easy and the communication from the Hawaii Life team was amazing, even after hours as well. This rental even had pack n plays for our young children, plastic kid dishes and utensils, and a high chair. This was a very comfortable place for our family, enough room to spread out. The resort was really nice too, 3 different pool areas, right next to the beach, and easy paths for walks with the young kids. We will definitely remember this rental for our next visit. p m.
Oct 20, 2023 Great place to stay at. This is our second time staying at Honua Kai and we love it. Great location, great rooms and everything is close by. David M.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We LOVED our stay at the Honua Kai Hokulani 214. The room was clean and had everything we needed. We especially loved having the small kitchen to make some meals, the washer and dryer for doing laundry, and the beach chairs and umbrella for us to use. We loved sitting out on the patio each morning to enjoy our coffee/breakfast with the beautiful view of the ocean on one side and mountains on the other. The property manager provided great customer service and responded quickly to any questions we had, including making accommodations to move the cleaning schedule to allow for us to have a later checkout. We loved all of the pools, the workout facility, and having the beautiful beach so close for swimming and snorkeling. We enjoyed eating at Duke's a couple of times, which is right on the property. They even have great gluten free options which we needed. I would definitely recommend this location to family and friends. Thank you for an amazing vacation! Kathy P.

Jun 27, 2023 Comfortable condo with a peak-a-boo view 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: This is our second time to the resort and did not disappoint. This condo was perfect for our family of 3. We weren't sure about the privacy with it facing the Westin, but it's actually perfectly located in that it looks at the elevators so there is not someone on the balcony across. It has a basic set of kitchen pots/pans etc enough to cook a few meals there if desired. The team was extremely responsive and we appreciated the 11 am checkout and minimal checklist allowing us to stay in the vaca mode as long as possible. Monique K.
Jun 17, 2023 Amazing and beautiful vacation! We loved our stay so much. The rental service was incredible. They were so responsive, gave us so many personal tips and recommendations, and were as friendly and helpful as possible. We loved every bit of our stay and would love to come again! Teri M.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view from our balcony was much better than expected from the picture. We were able to view both the beach and the ocean while enjoying our morning coffee and our meals. The apartment was immaculate, spacious, and very comfortable. The kitchen provided all the utensils we needed for preparing our meals. The layout of the apartment was great for entertaining and relaxing. The pools and patios of Honua Kai were easily accessed and fun for both adults and kids. the beach and boardwalk were outstanding for walking, swimming, and whale watching.We only stayed for a week and would have been very happy to stay much longer.

Nov 19, 2022 The Best Anniversary and Birthday spent! 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: It was the best placed we had stayed at Maui. Hokulani was gave us the most relaxing place. Everything you need is there. To the point that my husband made a reservation to a restaurant for my bday but instead I told him to cancel it instead we have a nice dinner at condo. It was so nice like we were in a high in restaurant. We open the sliding doors and it was quiet. Anyway when I said everything is there washer and dryer. Nice stove to cook your meal, washing machine and 2 coffee maker. If you want to go to the beach chairs, umbrella, cooler bag they have it there for you. The sheets and the bed was so relaxing for you to end your day. All of the staffs are very nice and pleasant. Definitely we will come back to this condo and we would really recommend it to our friends. Best place for you and your family. With 4 pools and hot tub and the beach access is just couple steps away from your tower. Duke’s just there for your quick snack or nice meal. Thilda P.
Nov 01, 2022 Modern rental, beautiful resort Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely stay in Hokulani 214. The unit was modern and had a nice lanai. Our check-in wasn't super seamless as we were not on the list so we could not get wristbands the first day, but it was sorted for our second day. The unit was clean enogh but could definitely use a deep clean (baseboards in bathroom and around bottom of toilet quite dirty). Overall the unit and location was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay.

Sep 26, 2022 Beautiful place and perfectly located This is a beautiful condo and we loved being right by dukes. In fact, when you order food or drinks at the pool it comes from dukes. There are several pools and hot tubs. We loved that they had a beach bag, beach chairs, and a beach umbrella. I believe there was some kids beach toys as well. You will love this place! Trevor H.
Sep 09, 2022 Accurate description & great property! I was there with my husband and 2 kids. Property was exactly as described. It is clean & well maintained. Megan responded quickly when I text her with questions. Property was beautiful, easily walkable to beach or other areas near hotel for dining & walking boardwalk in the morning or evenings. Easy 5-10 minute drive if going farther down beach or to Whalers. Beach accessories & chairs were great to have in room. Only addition would be to have some type of baking dishes/muffin pans to use in the oven as the only thing in the condo are fry pans.. Overall, amazing stay and would absolutely stay again. Lisa M.
Jun 28, 2022 Kaanapali 2022 The condo was clean and conveniently located. The whole property was great. Dukes was very nice to have Duke's right there on the grounds. The location was perfect. Beverly R.
May 23, 2022 Beautiful Condo/Great Resort Spacious and beautifully decorated condo. Great pools and beach area. Scuba equipment available for rental- members of our group loved the proximity to a beautiful reef from the resort. The only drawback we experienced was the situation with parking. We discovered that the garage under the building our where our condo was located fills up at night, and we were unable to find convenient parking after leaving the resort for dinner on two occasions. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay at this beautiful resort on a beautiful island! Debbie B.
May 18, 2022 Perfect Vacation 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: Honua Kai 204 was PERFECT for our trip. We brought our 4 month old and the unit had everything we needed for him, but didn’t want to bring on the flight. We’ve stayed at Honua Kai 4 times before, but this unit was the most CLEAN and comfortable that we have stayed in. Would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat. Tanner H.
May 18, 2022 Beautiful Condo, Horrible View Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: We loved our stay at the Honua Kai, the hotel was beautiful and our condo was great. We felt mislead when we called ahead to prepare ourselves for the construction that made up the majority of our view off our balcony, we were told you could hardly see the construction. In fact we were greeted by construction most mornings and could see there is still many months remaining on the project across the way. I would stay here again, just be aware that the construction is very visible and audible from our condo. Dede C.
May 18, 2022 Home for a Week 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: We had such a great time! Overall, we made lots of memories and having a beautiful, clean place to call home for the week with all the conveniences of home made our stay that much better and easier! The washer/dryer was VERY handy. There was some construction on the next lot over, but my little boys thought it was great to see all the dump trucks. In fact, every morning my husband would slide open the doors/wall to the lanai and my boys would watch the trucks and eat breakfast. The noise wasn't bothersome to us at all since we weren't in the room much except for meals and sleeping. My kids and my husband and I loved the pools! The boys went down the water slide more times than I could count! We took advantage of Dukes for dinner one night and we also used the barbeques by the pool. We loved how close we were to both pools and ocean. We brought snorkel gear and we all were amazed that we could go right out the back of the condo and snorkel. We saw sea urchins, eels, and lots of colorful fish (bring surf booties). The beach chairs and umbrella were nice to have too. All the staff were helpful and friendly and we took advantage of the photo session and free 8x10 (Melissa took our photos and she was great with my boys). Megan and Jeremy were also great to work with. They answered all my questions and treated us like family. In the welcome folder they had a list of their favorite things on the island and we took advantage of many of their personal recommendations. The location is also great! It's about 10 minutes from Lahaina. It was close enough to make it easy to see the Banyan tree, and eat at restaurants on Front St, but also far enough away where we didn't feel like we were with everyone in Maui. I felt very safe walking around the lobby and outside areas by myself and with my young children. There were LOTS of families and it was wonderful seeing folks spending time with one another. We will recommend this place to our friends and family. M. S.
May 18, 2022 Great Family Vacation 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: This unit was perfect for us. It has a good sized kitchen and laundry which were useful when travelling with a 1.5 year old. The bed, linens, and bathroom were also very nice. Only negative would be the construction outside the lanai which you probably know about when booking. We found the lanai not very useful because of the noise and dirt. Overall a great experience. It was like staying in a 4 star hotel with all the amenities of your own condo. Felt like home for the week! Lawson B.
May 18, 2022 Fabulous Vacation Rental Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second vacation stay at the Honua Kai and we would consider this unit to have been the best of the 2 by far. The price was considerably better than the previous rental which to us, was important because that allowed us to enjoy more activities and meals at Duke's! Check in was seamless and we enjoyed having the valet parking for those days when you are really exhausted from hanging out in the sun. This rental had all the important extras such as the Tommy Bahamas beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, cooler, etc. I was worried about not having the ocean/pool view but I actually enjoyed this view just as much as the greenery was beautiful and it was incredibly peaceful. The only thing missing were the chair cushions for the balcony. It would be nice if they were replaced as it would make the deck chairs more comfortable. There was construction going on for the 3rd phase of Honua Kai but it didn't affect our stay in any way, whatsoever. Thank you to Megan for keeping in touch whenever we had a question before and after our visit. We will definitely book with Hawaii Life again! Terris F.

Reviewer Comments: It was a little hectic with the new check in, but once our name was found on the list everything was smooth. The resort is fabulous. Especially with a toddler who never wanted to leave the pools. Also great having one of our favourite restaurants onsite. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Steven G.

It was for our 30th wedding anniversary. The location of Honua Kai is ideal for getting around Maui. Lots of conveniences from grocery stores to shopping. The property is superb. Unit 214 was everything we needed and expected. It is very comfortable and upto date. We highly recommend it. Deron K.
May 18, 2022 Beautiful vacation rental in a gorgeous location! 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: We just returned from a wonderful 9-night stay in 'Kamalu'. We have stayed in numerous hotel and condo rentals during our many years of visiting Maui, but have returned to Honua Kai every trip for the last five years. The property location is absolutely ideal, offering close proximity to the bustling Lahaina area and the main Ka'anapali Beach resort and shopping area, but still feeling a little more secluded and 'away from it all'. Unit 214 itself was clean and very well appointed with beach chairs, an umbrella, towels, and all sorts of fun beach gear. There was a wonderful, full spice rack, coffee maker and some extra condiments in the fridge. We were a little concerned at just how close we would be to the Westin Nanea building, but the pictures actually make it appear closer than it was. Even better, the unit does not directly face any of the Nanea rooms, so you do not feel like you are staring at your neighbors while sitting on the lanai (which I did every morning while my husband checked his work e-mails). Megan was wonderful to work with and was even able to accommodate an early check-in for us, which was greatly appreciated since we were lucky enough to catch a non-stop flight and arrive on the island about 11am. The on-site restaurant, Duke's, is great for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Just be sure to make reservations for dinner as they book up really quickly and no one wants to wait an hour for dinner. ;0) We had a wonderful trip and are already planning our next visit. We will definitely consider booking with Hawaii Life again! Mahalo! Jennifer O.

I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed enjoyed the resort along with the location of the resort. We enjoyed having Duke’s Beachside Restaurant available for meals. Thoroughly enjoyed Whalers Village for more dining and shopping. The unit itself is in a great, quiet location which we enjoyed. The kitchen was stocked with cooking ware but it may could use some updated everyday utensils. We would stay here again. Like they say in Hawaii: ALOHA CURES EVERYTHING.

Mar 10, 2022 Amazing Place!!! This was our 1st time using VRBO and it was a great experience! The condo is beautiful, well kept and extremely clean. The owners are wonderful and communication from the beginning to the end was awesome. The condo is equipped with everything you need including beach chairs,beach bag, beach towels and even a FUN boogie Board! The resort property is beautiful, well kept and the people were so kind. The property is centrally located and easily accessible to the beach and other activities. The property is also very kid friendly and the 3 pools are amazing! We will definitely book this condo again! Thank you for our wonderful stay Megan! The Longs :) Dawnmarie L.
Mar 03, 2022 The perfect resort From the amazing pools, and beautiful grounds, this is the perfect resort. Dukes restaurant on campus is one of the best on the island. They even have a mini market that makes grabbing things very convenient. Honua Kai is hands down our favorite resort on the island. Jason C.

Mar 01, 2022 Clean, Updated, great location! Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental unit was clean, updated, in an awesome location for snorkeling off the beach, and equipped with everything you might need for a good vacation. We did lack access to the balcony due to painting on the first day but it was resolved quickly and I believe we were refunded some due to this. The floors might have needed a mop due to the workers as well but absolutely situational. We loved cooking at home but there was a great restaurant on the property. The concierge Leah was incredible, booking us the most memorable experiences. We would absolutely stay again! Cristen F.
Feb 16, 2022 Very Nice Beautiful Roxanne H.

Jan 10, 2022 Amazing Place to stay. 5 Stars We were there as a family of 4 for 8 days in Dec. Amazing place. Well stocked with supplies, utensils and beach equipment. Resort was beautiful and convenient. Very friendly and communicative host. Highly recommend. Will stay there again. 5 Stars. Naga P.
Dec 29, 2021 Great property This is a great property. However found it difficult to communicate with the property managers. This property is some sort of shared condo/sublet/timeshare inside a hotel resort, meaning that for some things you have to rely in your property manager/owner and not on the staff at the actual hotel. This was odd. Laura C.
Dec 18, 2021 Amazing property! They provided EVERYTHING! Our stay was excellent and the property was the best location and was very clean. Will stay again! Mahalo! simone h.
Dec 11, 2021 2nd stay in Hokulani 214 Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in this unit 3 years ago and were very happy with everything so we booked the same unit again for our return. The booking process was easy, but unlike the prior stay communication was terrible. We received multiple emails from different sources and which was confusing and difficult to receive any responses to emails to our property managers. The check in instructions are confusing and outdated, which also was frustrating. Upon arrival we were not able to connect to the wifi, which was an issue because we had remote work and school. After multiple unansered texts and voicemails over 3 days we finally got a response to try and connect to a different router, which only worked for one of our laptops and only while sitting in a specfiic location in the unit, which was not very useful. The unit itself was exactly the same as our prior stay, which is fine but the furniture is now a bit run down now and could use some updating. Overall though it was a good trip, the resort itself is beautiful and amazing, and we would stay at Honua Kai again in an instant. However, we will not be staying in this unit again. Matt R.
Nov 11, 2021 Beautiful Unit and Property. We stayed here with our 3 year old son. Beautiful condo, everything we needed for a fun and seamless trip. We loved the property amenities as well. Jen H.
Nov 10, 2021 Very convenient and easy The location of this property was great and the hosts had everything you needed for beach etc. The pictures are accurate and hosts were responsive. Would stay here again. Carina Q.
Nov 04, 2021 Love Honua Kai Between the two of us, we've stayed at Honua Kai six times. We love the location, the parking is ample, easy to get in and out of, people are friendly, etc. The pool area is great and with a toddler who loves the water was a perfect fit! This unit was fine but it was several small things that overall dampened the experience a bit. Not being a part of the pool towel program meant using towels for both the beach and pool. And having to constantly get the sand out before entering the building, washing and drying, and having to remember to bring them down for the pool. There was also a lack of dishes and cups in the kitchen. Four Bowls total meant lots of hand washing and dishwashing. No wine glasses at all. Thankfully the management company got a delivery of them so we didn't have to drink out of coffee mugs. Definitely appreciated it! There is no peekaboo view of the water on the lanai. The plumeria blocks any view. Maybe when it was trimmed down or a younger plant it made for a view. Not a huge deal but when it's prominently advertised it's a little disappointing. The mountain view was beautiful, and some mornings with clouds coming in it was majestic. Really were appreciative of the high chair but wish we would have gotten replies to our original emails asking questions so we knew there was a pack N play. Love Honua Kai! Kenneth B.
Oct 28, 2021 beautiful resort great place, we enjoyed our stay and would come again. Radu B.
Oct 15, 2021 Great place, but communication could be better Great place. Room was clean and had all you need for a beach day. Only downside was communication with the property managers. There were 4 different emails on check in instructions and no clarity on which to respond to. Also there are two different property managers and it’s not clear who you are getting notes from. Also they did not respond to questions on VRBO or through email. Also they say check out is 11 but the cleaning staff repeatedly tried to get me to leave starting at 10am despite indicating prior to my arrival I would not check out until 11. Steven B.
Oct 02, 2021 Best place we’ve ever stayed I can’t begin to explain how wonderful our stay was! From play pens to basic house necessities, they had it all covered! We traveled with a 14 month old and this condo helped facilitate that! Rooms were spacious, bathrooms were amazing and the lanai was incredible!! We enjoyed cooking almost every meal in the wonderful kitchen! Plus the laundry room was a huge bonus! I can’t wait to return and rent from them again! Bailey D.
Oct 02, 2021 Great trip! Description of condo is accurate. We thoroughly enjoyed this spacious, beautifully decorated 2 bedroom condo! Amy B.

Aug 12, 2021 Can't Wait to go Back This was our 3rd stay at Honua Kai and second in the Hokulani Building. Both are fantastic and we will stay here again the next time we come to Maui. Jason S.
Jul 10, 2021 We love Honua Kai We love Honua Kai and have stayed here many times. This unit is definitely one of the more basic finishes. They provide beach towels, chairs, umbrella etc which all made our stay much more fun! They lack in extra bedding especially because the entire unit is tile, we had one little on sleeping on the floor and next to us in the bedroom and didn't have much to make a bed with. It also lacks in dishes, only 3 bowls for the whole unit. These things are all part of the VRBO experience where you aren't quite sure what you are getting and these changes would have made our stay more comfortable but not change it. The one change that I would recommend would be having all the info in the binder at the property. Our phones weren't working well and we couldn't open the link for info on our property due to bad service. It would have been helpful to have a physical copy of all information at the unit that includes internet passwords etc. Overall it is a great unit and anybody would really enjoy staying here! Dave P.
Jul 07, 2021 Nice Clean, spacious beautiful property. Lacking pool lounge chairs, cabanas we’re booked way out. Bonnie S.

Mar 26, 2021 Family getaway This is our third time staying at Honua Kai. We love the resort feel while having a function kitchen dishwasher and washing machine/dryer. The beach in front of the property is great for sunset walks. However, the rocks and coral limit it for boogie boogie boarding or other ocean activity. We found many beaches up and down the coast that met our needs. The closet filled with beach chairs, towels and boogie boards was perfect. The property managers were responsive to our questions. Kelly S.
Mar 18, 2021 Perfect Getaway We loved our time at Konea 204. The condo was the perfect size for our group, which was 4 adults and two small children (5months, & 2 y/o). Kitchen comes well equipped for cooking for yourselves, or there is Duke's on the property and food trucks near by. The pools were great for the kids, and we were able to see tons of whales right from the beach. I definitely recommend this spot, and will be returning ASAP. Chase L.
Feb 10, 2021 Beautiful property Property management company was weak on the check in procedure.. guy just handed me the keys, didn’t tell me how the garage keycard process worked, no orientation the the property. I did get locked out once and they were great at getting me new keys. Andrew K.

Reviewer Comments: We loved Honua Kai and would recommend this resort to our friends and family. It’s the perfect place to travel with kids. The kid pools are amazing for toddlers, and the larger pool was fun for our little one too once he got brave enough to “swim” (float) on his own. We can’t wait to go back! Chelsea H.
Jan 30, 2021 Honua Kai Great property, location, and communication with Megan. We had an incredibly lovely stay here. Christel R.
Dec 31, 2020 Wonderful stay We truly enjoyed our stay in this unit. The bed was super comfy and we were happy with the cleanliness. We had an issue with the faucet half way through our stay and it was dealt with promptly. We loved how quiet and tranquil the lanai was to have our meals. A great unit and we would come back for sure! Mariana O.
Mar 26, 2020 Honau Kai Hokulani 214 Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: we just returned from being at the Honau Kai and had a lovely time - although a bit convoluted because of being told that we had to return to Canada before the end of our stay (only by one day - thank goodness). This rental was lovely and was everything it was told it to be. It was clean and well-maintained. I would recommend this suite to a friend. Unfortunately.....everything was shutting down during our stay - restaurants (Duke's included), that by the time we left it was getting pretty quiet - even Dukes was not doing take-out any more). But all that is not the property's fault. So - as far as this suite went it was lovely. lynn h.

I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed enjoyed the resort along with the location of the resort. We enjoyed having Duke’s Beachside Restaurant available for meals. Thoroughly enjoyed Whalers Village for more dining and shopping. The unit itself is in a great, quiet location which we enjoyed. The kitchen was stocked with cooking ware but it may could use some updated everyday utensils. We would stay here again. Like they say in Hawaii: ALOHA CURES EVERYTHING.
Jan 26, 2020 Honua Kai never disappoints! This was our 5th time staying at the Honua Kai. The resort was immaculate as usual. The condo we stayed in was also very nice and quiet for our family. We will be back to the Honua Kai! Courtney P.
Dec 27, 2019 Overall, a good place Facility is nice. Gift shop and Duke’ s restaurant are well overpriced, even for Hawaii. In the building itself, there is a trash problem. Guests just dump their trash in piles near the elevators and leave it. It’s horrible that people do this. But, worse that noone cleans it up and it just festers there, causing the hall way to stink of trash. We stayed for a week and the same trash was in the hallway for the entire stay. Guests need to dump their trash in the trash dumps instead of littering the halls. And, maintenance staff need to keep the place clean so the halls do t smell like trash. Gross. Kate T.

Reviewer Comments: We had a group of 19 for a week. 15 of us were in three units at Honua Kai. We love the property. It is impeccably maintained. Konea 204 was beautiful! There were welcome chocolates and coffee for us when we arrived. The wall decor was fun and island-inspired....we hope to find one of the prints online and buy it for ourselves. This stay was at least our sixth visit to Maui. This unit and property are probably the best value anyone could ask for. They do paradise proud! Ron H.

Oct 18, 2019 Honua Kai Hokulani 214 was Fantastic 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: We stayed here (2 adults) Oct 2 - 14. The condo was perfectly clean. I have severe food allergies— so prefer to cook all of my meals rather than risk it at restaurants. The kitchen was perfectly appointed with everything I would need to cook all of my meals. It even had 2 types of coffee pots, and 2 blender options! And as someone with food allergies, I can’t stress enough it was CLEAN! The parking garage was easy to access, and easy to find a parking spot. The unit was not far from the elevator or stairs. Being only on the second floor we used the stairs quite a bit. The patio was private from next door neighbors, and far enough away from the Westin that we could never see into their condos. We could barely see people even on their patios. The unit was quiet! And the patio is protected from wind. It faces directly south, so you get partial sun on the patio all day— my hubby sat in the sun, and I put my chair in the shade. Perfect! The condo had plenty of towels, a cooler and beach chairs for our use, plastic glasses for pool/beach etc. It was great! The only thing that wasn’t 100%, was that the can opener really sucked. Seriously, that’s it. Everything else was on point! The property managers were super nice, easy to get ahold of, and very accommodating! Check in and out was a breeze. Honua Kai resort is really nice. Has a good mix of pools and private spaces. Kanaapali north is not too busy, overall a good location. The beach gets deeper and calmer as you head a bit south down the beach. We walked several miles every morning and would always choose to swim just south of Honua Kai. It was the nicest part of the whole Kanaapali beach, calm and serene. Marty M.

Aug 28, 2019 Great family stay My family had a wonderful time staying here at Honua Kai. The unit was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our visit. We cooked several meals in the kitchen and started everyday with breakfast on the Lanai. The beach towels and chairs also made days on the beach extra comfortable. The location was also convenient. It was close to walk to the pools and beach, and also easy to drive to other areas in West Maui. We'd definitely look to stay here again in the future. Frank C.

Jul 25, 2019 Honua Kai in July 2019 Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Hokulani 214! It was a great reprieve after spending the day in the sun. The unit was well stocked with beach items as well as the all the necessities for life in the kitchen and laundry room. We loved the pool area and were so happy to eat at Duke's on the premises multiple times. What a treat! We will definitely consider booking this spot again in the future;) Peter L.
Jul 14, 2019 Everything we expected. Very few times when you see something online is what you can expect but I am happy to say this was one of those times that what you see is what you get! The condo looks exactly as advertised. It was perfect for our family. Great pools and beach access. Definitely will be issuing this property again! Peter V.
Jul 04, 2019 Wonderful stay Very quiet spot to allow for wonderful evenings amongst fun-filled days with awesome pools, delicious restaurant and gorgeous beach!

May 15, 2019 Fabulous Vacation Rental Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second vacation stay at the Honua Kai and we would consider this unit to have been the best of the 2 by far. The price was considerably better than the previous rental which to us, was important because that allowed us to enjoy more activities and meals at Duke's! Check in was seamless and we enjoyed having the valet parking for those days when you are really exhausted from hanging out in the sun. This rental had all the important extras such as the Tommy Bahamas beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, cooler, etc. I was worried about not having the ocean/pool view but I actually enjoyed this view just as much as the greenery was beautiful and it was incredibly peaceful. The only thing missing were the chair cushions for the balcony. It would be nice if they were replaced as it would make the deck chairs more comfortable. There was construction going on for the 3rd phase of Honua Kai but it didn't affect our stay in any way, whatsoever. Thank you to Megan for keeping in touch whenever we had a question before and after our visit. We will definitely book with Hawaii Life again! Terris F.
Apr 26, 2019 Wonderful time at Honua Kai! We had a great time staying at this resort. The pool and facilities are fantastic and it’s very close to Lahaina and Whaler’s Village for great restaurants and shops. The suite was very nice and looked exactly like the pictures. Unfortunately the feather couch shed little feathers everywhere! The place was clean when we arrived but it would have been great if there was cleaning supplies available (and a working vacuum) for us to use for a quick clean here and there throughout our 10 day stay. Other suggestions would be to have some cutlery and dishes available for kids. Otherwise we really enjoyed our holiday at Honua Kai and will definitely stay here again! Karen A.

The kitchen was really well stocked and we particularly loved the nanadoors open to the spacious lanai where we enjoyed a lot of meals. The resort was great and the staff super friendly. Highly recommend! julia h.

Mar 20, 2019 As advertised and then some! A wonderful stay in Maui at Honua Kai 214! We REALLY enjoyed the condo, resort and Maui itself. If you’re wondering if you should book/visit Maui, stop considering and just do it! The condo had everything we needed. It truly was like a large one bedroom apartment. We loved it. Bailee B.
Mar 05, 2019 Impeccable condo with all amenities, great restaurant on-site, great location! The condo was even better in person than in pictures! Everything you need for cooking, dining and going to the beach is there. The whole condo looks new w/ great kitchen, nice view of the property. Bathroom was very spacious and bed was comfortable, there are extra pillows, blankets etc. Unit also has a w/d. The complex itself has a fancy coffee shop, small grocery store (large grocery store is 3 min drive away), Duke's restaurant w/ delicious food and located on the beach. Ideal for families but we are a couple and enjoyed staying here as well. Would stay here again. victoria t.

Oct 17, 2018 Wonderful Accommodations 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: It was a first time renting a VRBO unit and it exceeded expectations. The unit was clean and comfortable located in a beautiful resort. The extras such as a Keurig machine, blender, dishwasher and washer and dryer made our extended stay like home away from home. The pull out couch was fine for our 10 year old, but the mattress is a bit thin and it may be time to replace to a thicker one The beach towels, chairs and coolers made our trips out much more enjoyable. Megan was very responsive to our questions before the trip and even gave a great recommendation for a snorkeling tour. Honua Kai is a beautiful resort and was close to many restaurants, a grocery store and beaches. The beach in front is not ideal, but the views are amazing. We would definitely rent from Hawaii Life again. Chris C.
Oct 02, 2018 Home in Paradise! Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 recent stay at Honua Kai Resort & Spa was amazing. The photos are exactly what you see in real life. The hosts were welcoming (via text) and seemed to be helpful & available if we needed anything, but honestly, we didn't need anything from them during our stay. Having a well-equipped kitchen and washer/dryer was perfect. We had clean clothes when we returned home! We ate all our dinners at home and loved the aspect of opening up the entire wall to eat outside. The location of the resort was convenient to downtown Lahaina and its go-see landmarks. The grounds were spectacular and visually a postcard moment. We felt right at home and when Hurricane Olivia came through on our last day in Maui, it was very convenient to have the market/coffee shop open in the lobby!! Love the accessibility in general! I would definitely return to this resort or recommend to others thinking of going to this side of the island. Shelena W.
Sep 12, 2018 Paradise in Maui 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: The resort and room were great. The location was conveniently located close to many amenities and beaches. The room was very comfortable and well maintained. One of the highlights of the room was the glass wall on the balcony that opened completely and had a screen- it allowed us to enjoy the lovely Hawaiian breeze. Check in and out process was very easy, and our hosts were extremely helpful and responsive to any needs. The room also had a variety of beach accessories which was great (chairs, cooler, boogie boards, pool noodles etc). We would definitely return to this property again. Zoe P.

I liked the place of this unit. Sitting on the balcony was peaceful. Having the beach and pool toys and chairs was a big plus. I definitely would stay here again. Margaret P.

May 22, 2018 Beautiful vacation rental in a gorgeous location! 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: We just returned from a wonderful 9-night stay in 'Kamalu'. We have stayed in numerous hotel and condo rentals during our many years of visiting Maui, but have returned to Honua Kai every trip for the last five years. The property location is absolutely ideal, offering close proximity to the bustling Lahaina area and the main Ka'anapali Beach resort and shopping area, but still feeling a little more secluded and 'away from it all'. Unit 214 itself was clean and very well appointed with beach chairs, an umbrella, towels, and all sorts of fun beach gear. There was a wonderful, full spice rack, coffee maker and some extra condiments in the fridge. We were a little concerned at just how close we would be to the Westin Nanea building, but the pictures actually make it appear closer than it was. Even better, the unit does not directly face any of the Nanea rooms, so you do not feel like you are staring at your neighbors while sitting on the lanai (which I did every morning while my husband checked his work e-mails). Megan was wonderful to work with and was even able to accommodate an early check-in for us, which was greatly appreciated since we were lucky enough to catch a non-stop flight and arrive on the island about 11am. The on-site restaurant, Duke's, is great for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Just be sure to make reservations for dinner as they book up really quickly and no one wants to wait an hour for dinner. ;0) We had a wonderful trip and are already planning our next visit. We will definitely consider booking with Hawaii Life again! Mahalo! Jennifer O.

The unit was stocked with a highchair and playpen as well as great beach towels and toys. This was our 3rd time staying at the Honua Kai and this unit was great! Very clean and well maintained unlike one of the other units we stayed in. We had no issues during our trip... aside from the lack of sun! Thanks for a great stay! Julie B.

Mar 12, 2018 Condo Hokulani Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo was nicely sized, but, not really a partial ocean view, more a mountain view. Patio was nice, kitchen had the basic necessities, bed was comfortable. There were a few items that needed attention in the condo, but nothing that needed to be fixed immediately, but should be addressed. The property itself was beautiful! nice to be located right on the boardwalk, the pools were nice, the grounds peaceful and pretty. The rental agent said they would check in with us after a couple of days to see how things were going, but we didn't hear from them. Overall, the stay at the property was nice. We would recommend this property to anyone. It was nice to have basic necessities, i.e. laundry soup; DW detergent; toilet paper in the condo when we arrived so we didn't have to make a trip to the grocery right away, however, the grocery was so close it was convenient to pick up items we needed. Would say that Duke's restaurant was a little overpriced except at happy hour, but there are many other places on Maui to check out. A car would be recommended, so much to see and do while here.
