Updated: 7/10/12- Here's an email we received from a couple who stayed with us for their Honeymoon.
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 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 $12/day plus tax
Valet Parking $17/day plus tax
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.

What an amazing experience. Will highly recommend this condo to anyone and will be staying there again. The condo has everything you need that you feel like you are home, but with a much better view! Just to give you an example, our hair dryer broke one day, I texted Joe and a replacement hair dryer was brought to us within minutes. You don't even get this service in a 5 star hotel. Book now, don't think about it you will not be disappointed at all. Apartment was very clean, bathroom was large, view is to die for, kitchen is upscale, ac unit works very well, amazing resort, amazing concierge service, close by to supermarket, great onsite store, parking, and I could go on and on. If I were to complain about something I would have said that I wish the bathroom had more light and more drawers for clothes, but these are just minor things!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful stay here for our honeymoon! Joe and Rhonda are a delight to work with and go out of their way to ensure a great travel experience. The Honua Kai property itself is amazing and the staff is top notch. With the amount of amenities onsite, you could check-in and never leave until your departure from Maui if you wanted. The condo itself is immaculate and the view is GREAT! For a big complex, the condo is still very quiet and private. We will definitely have this on our list of 'must stay' locations for the future. Joe & Rhonda - thank you for a great experience! We are sooooo 'Living Aloha' right now back on the mainland. :)Recommended for: Tourists without a car, people with disabilities, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Aloha Denni, Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review. It's always nice for us to be re-assured that we are doing things the right way. And for our future guests this should assure you that we do take your vacation seriously and want you to live aloha, we want you happy and we want you back.

Ok...I'll admit it...walking into this condo I was totally amazed at it's beauty. Tears actually came to my eyes! My husband and I needed a relaxing get-away from the daily stress of our lives. I've never used VRBO before..and wasn't quite sure what to expect. Joe & Rhonda made it easy. I must say, the photos don't do it justice. This condo was SPECTACULAR!! We came home refreshed and rejuvenated. We are looking forward to when we can return to the Gorgeous Honua Kai Resort.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+.

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!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+.

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.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with young children, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

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-Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2009
About the owner: We're originally from San Ramon, CA and we have 3 children.(pictured 6/9/12 at Old Faithful in a snow flurry) 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 at 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.
