BREAKING NEWS: DUKE'S MAUI will be the onsite beachfront restuarant at Honua Kai with a scheduled opening on December 15, 2009.
**$175 a night for stays prior to December 18, 2009 then Holiday and Standard Rates will apply(see rates section). The current rate is the "under construction" rate. Duke's and the remaining pools open up in December, so the pricing is adjusted accordingly. This is not a discount resort and not all listings on vrbo are the same. If you want correct information on the resort and our unit please contact us. We are at the Resort just about everyday and we are not a management company, so you are always our most important guest!
This is the highest floor available for a studio on vrbo that you can rent direct from an owner. Our Studio is 595 sf and located in the inner courtyard. Please compare to 1 bedroom units, there is only one stack of 1 bedroom units (700 sf) in the inner courtyard.
We offer the following:
-25% TO 50% OFF RESORT MANAGEMENT RATES and all the SERVICE you'll need for a great getaway.
-With us you rent unit 719, you don't rent a category and find out what you get when you
arrive at the front desk. With us you get actual pictures of the unit and the actual
view from the unit. We don't zoom in with our photos.

-We will greet you in the Lobby and will escort you to Unit 719. For those guests who have
stayed in other Maui condo's, you'll say to yourself "The condos in Maui are so old that I
forgot what brand new feels like. It's as nice on the inside as it is on the outside".
-We live 5 minutes from the resort and we are on property just about everyday. We take your
stay personally, so anything that comes up, we will be there. We want you happy and
we want you back!
-We are fortunate to "Live Aloha" everyday and our goal is for our guests to "Live Aloha"
while they are our guests. Whether it's just another trip to Maui or the only trip you'll
ever take to Maui, our mission is to make it special.
HONUA KAI- "Honua" is translated from Hawaiian as the planet earth; it can also denote firm, stable ground."Kai" is the South Pacific Ocean as seen from the shores of Kaanapali disappearing beyond the horizon, past Molokai and Lanai, and into what ancient Hawaiians called the "Great Sea of Eternity"
Honua Kai is the first whole ownership condo to be built on Kaanapali Beach in over 20 years. There are only 30 studio units in the Hokulani building and not only was it the best value for purchase, but it's also the best value to rent. Most of the competition is requiring their owners to remodel their units to stay competitive with Honua Kai. This particular ocean view studio is located in the inner courtyard.
Located on the 7th floor this modern studio is the size of most 1 bedroom units in Maui. At 595 sq. ft. it's only 105 sq. ft. smaller than the largest 1 bedroom units at Honua Kai. The 114 sq. ft. lanai give you enough space to relax and enjoy the whales or the great ocean views. This unit comes furnished and comes with the ULI color scheme as depicted in the photos. Interior appointments include:
-King Size Bed
-9 ft ceilings
-Stained solid core wood paneled entry door.
-Solid core interior doors.
-Wood base boards, window trim and door casings throughout.
-Tile flooring in entry way, kitchen and bathroom.
-Wood cabinetry in kitchen and bathroom.
-Stainless Steel Bosch appliances.
-Granite slab countetops in kitchen with full height tile backsplash
-Granite countertops in bathroom.
-Frameless glass shower enclosure.
-Crown Moulding in the living area.
-Ceiling fan in living area, as well as, air conditioning
-Large custom glass doors to lanai to maximize views and natural light.
-Washer and Dryer in the unit.
We use a mainland phone number for convenience. We will also help with your luggage if you'd like, but the bellmen are all real good guys and more interested in showing "Aloha" then caring who you are renting from. We provide high quality beach towels for your use at the pool and beach.
Self Parking $10/day
Valet Parking $15/day
Check In 3 pm
Check Out Noon
We will accomodate early check-in or late check out when the schedule allows. We understand that many flights arrive late morning and that many flights depart late at night. We were regulars on that red eye to San Francisco.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2009
We're originally from San Ramon, CA and we have 3 children. Moved to Maui because the plane ride home was too depressing.
Why the Owner Chose Honua Kai
Brand New, Luxury Resort on Kaanapali Beach. This was the first whole ownership condominium on Kaanapali Beach in 25 years. The other condo complexes are nice, but they are showing their years. It was not a hard decision.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
We do everything ourselves from this website to cleaning the room. We take your stay personally and when we check you into our suite, you'll feel the difference and know that we will personally handle any issues that may arise.
