Updated: 9/13/11 - Here's an email we just received from a couple who stayed with us for their Honeymoon last month.
Rhonda and Joe,
"We wanted to write this sooner but have been very busy back in CA. We want to thank you very much for renting your place to us for the week. We had an amazing honeymoon and definitely brought back the “Aloha Spirit” (I notice it most when I’m driving in L.A.!). The place was spotless and all the little things you guys did made us feel instantly at home. The champagne and Maui coffee were greatly appreciated and enjoyed. The snorkel gear really came in handy as well. We enjoyed the live music at Dukes and were happy to be able to walk to Whalers Village from Honua Kai. It was such a special trip for us and the condo was the icing on the cake. We see now why you guys moved to HI and we could see ourselves there one day too. We’ve already started talking about our next trip to HI! As we sort through our pictures and daily journal we get to relive all the magic that Maui had to offer.
Mahalo,
John and Sara
Manhatten Beach, CA
Here is their repsonse when we asked to post this:
"Please feel free to post online. Also, I want to add that we really appreciated you guys accommodating our (very) late arrival and checkout. It gave us many more hours to relax without dragging our luggage around on our final day."
John
It may be hard to understand the difference in views and service while at your computer, but you will understand those differences when you get here. My husband Joe sells the condos at Honua Kai and is always on property and is the most knowledeable person you will find in regards to what's going on at Honua Kai
We are fortunate to "Live Aloha" everyday here in Maui and our goal is for our guests to "Live Aloha" while they are our guests. That's why we don't have reservation specialists, or a rental manager and we do everthing. 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. Here's how we do that:
1) Check-in: We greet you at your car upon your arrival at the Resort and personally check you into your suite. We show you where things are located and escort you to your room.(no matter what time you arrive). We're there to show you where to register your car/park.(We don't have you fend for yourself)
2) Service: We present each guest with a Welcome Aloha Package which includes a box of Hawaiian chocolates, a bag of 100% Maui Grown Coffee, soaps, shampoo (COMING SOON L'OCCITANE HAIR PRODUCTS and SOAPS) and a bottle of chilled champagne. We also provide beach chairs and towels, boogie boards, iPod player, binoculars to watch the whales, free local/long distance calls to the Mainland, free wi-fi internet and condiments and the cleanest room at the Resort.
We are at the Resort all the time and live only 5 minutes up the street, so if anything should require our attention WE are quick to respond.
3) Location Please be careful here. All the rooms here are beautiful, but unfortunately for some they don't realize the importance of location until they arrive. Our unit looks over the palm trees not thru them and overlooks the koi pond, pool, and all of those tiki torches at night, very cool, very romantic. Our Studio is 595 sf and located in the inner courtyard.
4) Price: We offer the most competitive price. Some units may be a little less expensive, but you will not have the location or the view or the owner right there to handle any issues.
Other things to consider: (*Another owner has chosen to copy our language here and we are not affiliated with them in any manner)
-No worrying about when when the maid service is going to interupt your day.
-We personally supervise the cleaning of our unit for every check-in.
-Use of swimming pool, excercise room, concierge service, bell and valet service and
activities desk.
-The Staff at Honua Kai will treat you like your sitting in the first class cabin.
-Charge all resort costs on your credit card.
-We want you happy and we want you back!
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. These guys work hard so please take care of them.
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 in 2005 because the plane ride home was too depressing. Joe came home one day and said he's tired of talking about it and we should either move to Maui or stop talking about it. I said let's do it! If half way thru your trip you start dreading going home then you know what we're talking about. We truly believe in the aloha spirit, and do try our best to "live aloha".
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. We never planned on buying our vacation condo 4 minutes from our house, but this was too good to pass on.
The Unique Benefits of this Condo
We do everything ourselves from this website to supervising the cleaning our room. Our goal is not 100% occupancy or to be the most booked studio at Honua Kai. We charge a rate that keeps our occupancy at a level that allows us to keep the suite looking great. We want Maui lovers and great guests staying with us who respect that we personally take care of things. Finally its a studio suite, so there is no low season or shoulder month since couples travel year round.

We spent a week in Joe and Rhonda's condo and absolutely loved it. The unit is very large for a studio, the kitchen is supremely equipped for cooking and having your own washer-dryer in unit makes a huge difference when coming home from the beach. Joe and Rhonda also supply a couple snorkel sets, beach chairs and boogie boards which saves $ not having to rent them. They also threw in a few beach toys for our daughter to play with...thank you. Saw whales every day from the lanai as well. The resort itself is great. Very nice grounds, great beach out front, many pools and hot tubs and five minute walk from Times grocery store (more expensive than Safeway in Lahaina, but easier than driving down if you only need a few items). We had a great whale-watching trip with Trilogy and Palauea beach in Wailea was probably our favorite. It was a perfect week. Thanks again Joe and Rhonda!

From the moment we arrived, this place was everything that was described and more. Joe met us at the desk and walked us through everything we needed to know. the place was spectacular, from the cleanliness to the view. Everything was state of the art and in great condition. They even worked with us on a late checkout, since our flight was leaving later that evening. The place and the owners were both spectacular. Thanks for helping make a great vacation.

Rhonda + Joe- your condo is simply beautiful! Hearing those waves at night is always a magical sound-+rainbows, whales breaching, turtles, beaching days filled with sun and fun + a comfortable "home away from home" to return to at night-also magical. Thank you for sharing-

We enjoyed our first stay so much that we booked this condo again this year! The place is immaculate and we were able to whale watch from our lanai! If you need anything, the owners are only a few minutes away and are very hospitable. Property is at the north end of Kaanapali but still in walking distance to grocery store, shops, and beaches. We can't wait to return!
