You will enjoy the unobstructed beautiful panoramic views sweeping from Lanai to Molokai. Large lanai (patio), over 20 feet in width, with comfortable patio furniture to relax and enjoy your meals or a glass of wine in the best seat on the island. (See picture to the left ~ THIS IS YOUR VIEW FROM YOUR KITCHEN!!)
OUR CONDO HAS RECENTLY BEEN COMPLETELY RENOVATED TO INCLUDE A GOURMET KITCHEN AND LUXURIOUS BATHROOM. Kitchen has granite countertops throughout and all new high quality Viking appliances. New luxurious bathroom with granite shower and glass-blocked wall. Bathroom countertops also granite with Polynesian stone floor. An in-laid gecko in the bathroom floor makes you feel the Aloha Spirit! New 16-foot, dual-pane glass sliding door with ‘low E’ glass which keeps the heat out but you are able to still admire the beautiful ocean view.
If you get tired of gazing at the beauty of whales, rainbows and double rainbows, sunsets, turtles, dolphins, flowers, manta rays and more OR you cannot go without watching your favorite sports on the weekends ~ you have a NEW 50 INCH HIGH DEFINITION PLASMA TV TO WATCH!!!! (HD cable channels included also)
This condominium has hand-picked Hawaiian art and has COMFORTABLE AND QUALITY FURNITURE /BEDS. It is located in the center top floor of a two story complex in which makes it the largest condo in the complex. Besides the dining table, a long bar with barstools provides seating for casual dining. Higher lanai furniture so that your view is not obstructed by the safety railing. High vaulted ceilings throughout condo.
KING-SIZED DELUXE BED (DUVET COVERS FOR ALL BEDS TO ENSURE CLEAN AND FRESH FOR EVERY NEW GUEST) WITH AIR CONDITIONING IN THE MASTER BEDROOM. Furnished loft (larger than main bedroom) with king-sized deluxe bed. New washer/dryer and a well stocked kitchen makes this condominium comfortable for even the longest stay. Happy and satisfied returning annual guests every year.
WHALES!!! WHALES!!! WHALES!!!! If you look at the very first picture above – you will see right where the ocean begins to turn a bit darker. This is the AU AU Channel that the whales jump and play in all day (YES – THAT CLOSE!!) during whale season. Watch the whales from your lanai (patio) as the adult whales teach their babies how to jump and play also. No need to even go on a boat to watch for whales! Take your kayak out and just sit out near the channel and the whales will cruise right past you and ‘check you out’. It will be an experience that you will NEVER forget! They are BREATHTAKING!!! I do, however, have so many happy and satisfied guests that return to our (theirs too ~ my home is your home!) condo every year that my whale season fills up fast. So ~ book early for whale season!
BEST SEAT ON THE ISLAND FOR DINNER!! ON YOUR LANAI!! It, literally, does not get any better than dining at home on your lanai...Sure, it is great to go out every now and then but this whole complex is so comfortable that barbequing, ocean front ~ day dreaming into the ocean or watching the sun set while cooking, and just relaxing in your comfy shorts with ‘ocean ridden hair and not caring - haha’ is sometimes the key to a long day... A nice relaxing dinner at HOME!!!
SNORKEL WITH THE SEA TURTLES AND TROPICAL FISH EVERY MORNING! PRIVATE BEACH WITH EASY OCEAN ACCESS allows you to explore the incredibly clear waters of the Pacific where colorful TROPICAL FISH AND SEA TURTLES will entertain you at our PRIVATE SNORKELING AREA RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR CONDO!

Map & Owner's Profile
You Have Seen the Rest - Now Come Stay at the Best!!!!!
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Honokowai
After looking ALL over the island and shopping for condos in EVERY complex over a 6 month period - THIS area was the perfect location for a vacation rental for us AND our guests!! You can be in the crowded 'touristy' areas within 10 minutes but then you go home to your peace and quiet condo! South Maui was too hot for us, Kapalua has a bit too much rain (although very green there)but for a vacation rental we wanted the BEST weather possible for our guests and just being that 'little bit' away from Kapalua made all the difference in the world, weather wise! Lastly, Kaanapali was too crowded for us with no privacy at all for our guests.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
By being on the 2nd floor of this small, quiet 2-story building complex, you are just high enough to see when all the whales, dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays, sea munks, etc. are right out front to go jump in with! I never knew how much I was missing by not being just a little bit 'up'. Plus, our condo is the largest condo in this 18 condo complex with the largest lanai also. (we actually didn't even know this when we purchased it - this was a bonus for us!) Majority of our guests are parties are 2 that are guests that prefer more of a luxurious, clean condo. By being a larger condo though, it is VERY comfortable for a larger group / family. We, also, have our large strip of sand for the kids to play in and make sand castles up away from the waves so that parents can relax and not worry about the ocean waves breaking on them on our private, no sea weed and not rocky beach! Since we practically live on the lanai (balcony), we have VERY comfortable furniture out there to sit and watch the whales, sunsets or just gaze and listen to the ocean all day and night! BLISS!
Owner's Map of Honokowai
My husband and I were 'bitten by the Maui bug' about 12 years ago and MUST return every few months, if possible. We planned on living here within a few years but, because of my faithful returning guests that battle over their desired dates every year, it looks like we will probably purchase a different condo in this area since this one is in such HIGH DEMAND with bookings as far out as March of 2012! (Hopefully in this same complex since this is one of the only places that I want to be!) The BEST compliment an owner can receive is for my annual returing guests WANTING TO ONLY STAY in our condo and how they keep coming back every year plus referring all of their friends and family. Especailly after my guests had stayed at other condos and were disappointed for many reasons but especailly the 'clean factor' which is my #1 priority! I can provide you with many of my guests referrals, if desired!! Because of this ~ I book up quick, as you will notice by my calenders. So, please do not get discouraged and reserve your dates early even if may have to wait a bit sometimes. I GUARANTEE this condo IS worth the wait! But, I do have plenty of dates available here and there ~ so please look at my online calenders... My calenders are always up to date.

Homeowner Response: Thank you!! You know, I tend to retain great friendships with the majority of my Maui guests but I HAVE to say that I am SO ELATED that we have met!! You are a sweetie! You know how I do not like 'bad energy' in my properties and I know that I NEVER have to worry about that with you! No negative attitudes allowed!! hahah Thank you for the 'appreciation' of clean! It is really a lot of work to make sure that it is so perfect for every guest so I truly do appreciate when people notice! Even with today’s economy, you will never have to worry about any cut backs on quality of cleanliness of condo or anything else in general! I have had so many comments that so many of the 'little things' like kitchen utensils, plush towels, and million dollar soap dispensers (inside joke - haha) just amaze guests. But, the little things are, personally, what makes the HUGE difference especially if you are comparing condos. For instance, and as you know now, the ‘ocean equipment’ that I left for you, etc. end up saving you hundreds of dollars that I do not advertise about at all! I want people to WANT to stay at our places because they LOVE IT and not just for the freebee things! Those things are just bonuses!! Again, I apologize to all the husbands that have remarked that their 'great deal in Maui staying at our condo rather than a more expensive hotel' that actually ended up costing them more money since they have had to remodel their kitchens and baths once they return home from our condo due to their wives loving our kitchen and bath upgrades and decor! But I am sure all of the wives deserve it!! Hint-hint David!! haha I have had so many guests raving about all the great snorkeling out front in the past few months! I LOVE it! Yes, we have had soooooooooo much turtle action in front of the condos for years now! I have named a few turtles, manta rays, dolphins and sea munks myself. I love all the really big ones! I am glad the Tide soap made you happy! See – the little things!!! I have to agree that I do not know of many other owners (which are, also, friends) that leave all the little things like I do ~ i.e. floating noodles, baggies, foil, boogie boards, garbage bags, etc.. Not that that is a bad thing since, honestly, sometimes it is a big hassle to make sure all those things are stocked and sometimes every single thing that I like to provide for guests. So, I just consider all those kind of ’little things’ bonus items for my guests that allows them to spend that money on Mai Tais or Pina Coladas instead! Our homemade Aloha Book of all of our personal favorites and not so favorites is a HUGE asset and everyone seems to love it! That ‘info pamphlet’ started off being just 3 pages of information to now being approximately 4+ inches now of Maui- -fest heaven! Send me pictures! Aloooooooooooooha! Marianne

Aloha Anne and Family!!! First off, thank you so much for including me to your list of receiving updates for your family website.. Being able to communicate with family and friends via internet is so wonderful!!! Actually, the majority of our guests have been ending up being our friends which has been fabulous since you can never have too many friends!! BUT, you and your family are DEFINATELY at the top of our list!! Three weeks is, personally, the perfect holiday time frame for us too... It takes us 4-5 days AT LEAST to wind down from our crazy lives on the mainland ourselves. Smart lady! I agree that this comdo / complex does make you feel like the island is ALL yours - huh!! BLISS!! You are welcome to return to 'your home away from home' anytime. PLEASE book early since it is December 2008 and I have 41 days already booked (and has been for over 4 months) for February/March of 2010!! I DEFINATELY see the difference since upgrading and making our condos 'FIRST CLASS EVERYTHING' that even when the economy is bad that our nicer places still and always stay rented... Your email is, also, making me stop procrastinating and finally adding approximately 20+ 'comments from guests' that I have been needing to add to this online guestbook.... You are making me get my mind out of 'La La Maui Land' and complete lots of MUCH overdue work that needs to be done so - Thank you!!! Happy HOLIDAYS to you and your whole family from Dean and I and we will be in touch!!! Mele Kalikimaka!!!

Maui is the BEST PLACE ON EARTH in February with all the baby whales born and the abundance of whales in the Channel so close to the condo!!! I NEVER get sick of seeing whales breaching and playing in the ocean right out front!!! My FAVORITE month to be in Maui.... You are welcome back anytime.. I am so happy for you and your family to be able to make so many family memories to cherish in Maui.. Maybe we can be in Maui at the same time next year (we can stay at our smaller condo) so that we can enjoy Maui together!! Aloha!!!

The extra square footage PLUS the extra large loft really makes it more comfortable for everyone.... You are welcome back anytime!! Thank you for leaving our condo so clean when you left!! You would be considered every condo owners 'perfect guests'!!!! We appreciate your consideration and respect for our condo more than you know!!!

Thank you ~ thank you ~ thank you!!! I can just see you and your wife now ~ cruisin' down the Hana Highway!!! You have the ALOHA spirit ~ baby!!! You two are welcome back anytime and make sure you add those 4 days on next time!! I know how dreadful that last day can be when you have to leave!!! That is why I tell my guests that how ever many days that they are planning to be in Maui ~ to take that number and add 3 or 4 days onto that and THAT will be the PERFECT time frame for your vacation.... Although I NEVER want to leave!! Someday soon I won't have to.... I can't wait!

We LOVE Christmas in Maui also!!! I know how busy you are so Thank You for taking the time to leave your sweet words in our online guestbook. I get lots of 'thank you' phone calls (which I also soooo appreciate) but by adding your comments in my guestbook gives all my future guests the opportunity to see how happy and satisfied my guests are and the reassurance that THIS IS THE CONDO TO STAY AT!!!! You probably noticed that our condo is the nicest condo in the complex BY FAR. (Not bragging - just very proud!) Now you will never want to stay anywhere else!! haha - oh darn - huh?! Also, thank you for leaving our condo so clean when you left!!! You are welcome back ANYTIME!!! Aloha & Mahalo!!! Marianne
