DIRECT OCEANFRONT ~ COMPLETELY REMODELED ~ IMMACULATELY CLEAN ~ PRIVATELY OWNED ~ LUXURIOUS AND COMFORTABLE ~ HOME AWAY FROM HOME!

THIS CLEAN ONE BEDROOM , ONE BATH CONDO IS 20-25 FEET (GROUND FLOOR!) FROM THE OCEAN!!! LITERALLY, STROLL FROM YOUR LIVING ROOM AND INTO THE OCEAN!!!...... See pictures to see how close!!!

FOR MORE PICTURES, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE. For families traveling together and needing 2 condos ~ please see my other condo on my website or VRBO listing #95283.

OUR PRIVATELY OWNED VACATION RENTAL CONDO HAS BEEN REMODELED TASTEFULLY WITH HAWAIIAN ART AND HAS A VERY ‘WARM FEELING’ TO IT!! Nice, heavy duty furniture (not 'run of the mill' rental quality anything here - all first class!!) that is comfortable and CLEAN!!! A new kitchen bar with granite counter tops and quality appliances. Comfortable sectional sofa positioned so that you will enjoy the breathtaking view of the ocean and surrounding islands. The bedroom has an air conditioner and a king-size deluxe bed (duvet cover for bed fresh and clean for every new guest).

THERE IS NOTHING MORE 'BLISSFUL' THAN WAKING UP IN PARADISE, ROLLING OUT OF BED AND GOING STRAIGHT OUT INTO THE OCEAN (bed~head and all) with all of your snorkeling gear to have your morning swim with the turtles and the array of gorgeous, bright colored tropical fish every morning in your PRIVATE snorkeling area right in front of your condo.....


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 42 INCH HIGH DEFINITION PLASMA TV TO WATCH!!!! (HD cable channels included also)

THIS GROUND FLOOR CONDO ALLOWS YOU TO STROLL OUT ONTO YOUR LANAI AND OUT TO THE OCEAN CONVENIENTLY... BUT ~ the most important element about THIS condo, being ground floor, and wonderful is that YOU WILL HAVE VERY LITTLE FOOT TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF YOUR CONDO!!!! This is something that many people do not think about.. (We didn’t ~ until we stayed in a ground floor condo that was right along the ocean BUT it was in a building in a more ‘populated area’ and we had ‘cruisers’ all day and night in front of our condo!! There was no privacy at all.) YOU WILL HAVE YOUR PRIVACY AT THIS CONDO!!!!

BEST SEAT ON THE ISLAND FOR DINNER!!! ON YOUR LANAI!!!! Dining, literally, does not get any better than 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!!!

GREAT WAVES FOR SURFING AND BOOGIE BOARDING. BUT CALM ENOUGH TO SNORKELING FOR HOURS!!! GREAT BEACH FOR LAYING OUT, MAKING SAND CASTLES, SHELLING, RELAXXXING!!!

AT SUNSET, TIKI TORCHES ARE LIT, ENHANCING THE AMBIANCE OF THIS ROMANTIC ISLAND OF MAUI...

WHALES ~ WHALES ~ WHALES!!! In the winter months, WATCH THE WHALES FROM YOUR LANAI (patio) as the adult whales teach their newborn babies how to jump and play in the AU AU Channel that is DIRECTLY (and CLOSE) in front of your condo. No need to even go on a boat to watch for whales! They are BREATHTAKING!!! We do, however, have so many happy and satisfied guests that return to our (theirs too ~ our home is your home!) condo every year that our whale season fills up fast. So ~ book early for whale season!!!

GOLF ~ GOLF ~ GOLF... Golfing at one of the championship golf courses at Kapalua and/or Kaanapali, which are all just minutes away, is so different than golfing on the mainland. You can have your worse day of golf and you really do not care!! You are in Maui ~ so ‘hang loose’!! You will be able to enjoy the lush and tropical courses regardless of your game.

Of course THERE IS PLENTY OF SHOPPING ALSO!!! Shop at nearby Old Lahaina, Kapalua, Lahaina Cannery Mall and/or Whalers Village in Kaanapali.

WE TRY TO REPLY TO ALL OF MY INQUIRIES WITHIN AN HOUR!!! IF, FOR

SOME REASON, WE HAVE NOT RESPONDED WITHIN AN HOUR ~ WE WILL ASAP!

Year Purchased: 1997

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 (and sooo many honeymooners - 49 honeymooning and 1 year anniversary returning couples last year alone!)- 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 GROUND FLOOR and at the end of the complex (privacy wise) has been the HUGE selling point for this condo!! It is so nice to just be able to stroll out of your living room and out to the ocean 20 feet away onto your private, no sea weed and not rocky beach! You will have sea turtles right in front of you every morning and night besides the whales, dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays, sea munks, etc. are right out front to go jump in with them!! (you have to swim or float a little ways out to the Au Au Channel that comes so far inward RIGHT in front of this condo ~ it is an easy swim out to the whales but I take a floating noodle with me) We had furniture specially made to fit in this condo to not make the condo cluttered and crowded. Nor did we want it to look like 'all the others with the tired ritan furniture' so we purchased nicer quality fabrics since I have everything with fabric steam cleaned very often and the better quality fabrics hold up so much nicer. Many guests say, "Well, we do not plan on being in the condo much." BUT for the glorious reason of this complex being sooo nice, relaxing and comfortable (bed, couch and complex!)that my guests LOVE to just 'HANG LOOSE'. These guests are usually the guests that call me and try to extend their stay due to not wanting to leave yet! hee It is indescribable!! This CONDO is VERY LUXURIOUS and CLEAN. Since my husband abd I 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. (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.

    • Sorry, we are a little late posting our comments about your condo and we apologize. We stayed in your condo last year (Oct. 25 - Nov. 4) and we LOVED it! We arrived at night to the tiki torches and the sound of the ocean. We immediately made dinner and ate outside on the wonderful patio. We loved that the condo was on the first floor and literally 10 feet away to the ocean!! The following days were full of zip-lining, the road to Hana (and we ran into the winery and fell in LOVE with the Maui Blanc. We recently just ordered some new bottles of wine online!), snorkeling w/ the huge sea turtles (right outside the condo which was GREAT), dining in some great restaurants, taking a dinner cruise on the Pacific Whale Foundation (and the food was AWESOME!) participating in Halloween in Lahaina (which is crazy but REALLY fun), and soaking up the sun on the private beach which is only 50 feet away. We really can't wait to go back. The condo had everything we needed and it was so CLEAN! It was great to lounge and catch up on some reading too. Overall, our adventure to Maui was unforgettable and we have the pictures to prove it. We are looking forward to visiting again. Thank you for all your wonderful research on activities and restaurants in the area. We had a FABULOUS time! - Erin & Mike (McKinney, Texas)

      Homeowner Response:
      Aloha Erin & Mike!! I believe this is the BEST online guest comment I have ever received!!! Thank you!!!!!!!! Aren't you the lady that I was talking to on the beach while I was taking tons of pictures of the turtles and had no idea that you were my guest??? Until I asked, "Your name wouldn't be Erin, would it?" I believe so by your dates!! You were soooo sweet!! I look forward to your return to paradise ~ the turtles are waiting for you!!!!!! Yes, Halloween is 'overload of fun and interesting people' in Maui for sure!! I appreciate your comment since sometimes when I am talking to guests and they are trying to compare me to other places it is hard to explain the differences in places and would be rude to say, "You are not comparing apples to apples!!" kind of thing when I want to just say, "our condo is so much nicer and cleaner!!" So, now I have your comment on here to testify for me!! Thanks and call me when you are ready to go back!!! Paradise AWAITS!!! MAHALO!!!

      Date: Thursday, January 29, 2009 12:57 am Subject: Thank you so much!! Hi Marianne! We received our package from you today! I was so excited when I saw it, we opened it together. The information you provide is priceless and could only be given by someone who has been there and experienced it first hand. We we're so amazed and excited about what you sent, that we drove over to my parents house to show them all the info you provided! This is a great start to what I believe will be the best vacation of my life! I'm already thinking about going next year and we haven't even been yet! We are going to take time to figure out what activities we want to do so we can get them booked asap! Thanks again, and again, ok one more time for everything. You have exceeded our expectations, I can't imagine what Maui has in store for us! Talk to you soon! Sincerely, Mary and Josh

    • Marianne, Thank you so much for an amazing experience in Maui. I can't imagine staying anywhere else but your condo on Maui! Every day Munish and I would talk about how lovely your place is, and how glad we are that we didn't stay in a resort! It was private, romantic, well equipped, upscale, extremely clean and tastefully decorated. Your hospitality shines through!!! We did see the turtles, and even snorkeled with them right off of your beach (did not get too close though!). Please feel free to use me as a reference for any future vacationers. And let me know how else I can help, I'm happy to place a shining review. A few things we really enjoyed on the island: actually, we really like the trip to Haleakala crater, but we did not do the whole sunrise thing. We figured we're here to relax, so we left around 6am to get there (our jet lag had us getting up early, which was great). We did a hike down the side of the crater called Halemanu, which was steep but beautiful. It's a rugged, rough place, and it was nice to see this part of Maui. Of course we loved all the beaches and snorkeling - we snorkeled almost every day. The drive along the north coast was gorgeous, and there's a 4 mile hike that can be done near the end of this drive with amazing views. Eating: we did a lot of cooking at the condo! The fish market and farmer's market were great for that. Also, we liked Sansei's, and we went to Roy's for a splurge (very good). Okay, thanks again for everything! Best wishes, Sarita

    • Your condo was great. We really enjoyed our stay and the view. You went the extra mile with the luggage tags, the information and the recommendation on the Reverend Beverly Powers. We were married on the property at sunset and it was gorgeous. Thanks for everything and we hope to come back again.

      Homeowner Response:
      You are so welcome!!! I am glad you enjoyed your wedding / honeymoon at our paradise condo!!! It truly is so WONDERFUL at this complex!!!! Hope to see you back for your 1 year anniversary!!! I am so glad that the reverend, that I referred you to, worked out great too. To be married right there on the grounds at sunset is beautiful AND convenient!! Hope to hear from you soon ~ Aloha! Marianne

    • Hi Marianne, Just wanted to drop a short note to say how very very much we enjoyed our vacation at your condo. Best holiday hands down by far - that we've ever had!! Thanks for all of the great info - you were right on about Warren & Annabelle's - I can see why one lady in the audience had been there 10 times. Your condo was first class all the way, we couldn't have asked for a better place or location - the view and proximity to the ocean were 5+ Star. Thanks for going the extra mile on all of the info packages, luggage tags, reviews, phone calls etc that you provided both before and during our stay. This helped alot because to be truthful, we were overwhelmed the first day with the vast array of things to do and see on the island. We can definitely see why almost everyone we talked to keeps coming back to Maui year after year - just like the turtles and the whales! Hopefully you will have room again for us next year. Mahalo, Philip & Heather Bell

      Homeowner Response:
      Thank you so much!! You two were great, respectful guests that I will ALWAYS welcome back!!! At least one trip to Maui a year keeps you sane - hahah. We will be in touch! Mahalo!!! Marianne

    • We are 'experienced' condo renters and your condo is one of the best we've rented. The view, nightly sunsets & bbq area was just perfect. The condo is in tip top shape and extremely clean ... having a well stocked kitchen was an added bonus! The grounds of Kuleana are so beautiful. Very nice complex. We loved it!

      Homeowner Response:
      Aloha Kelley!!! You KNOW you AND YOUR HUSBAND (haha - sorry - private joke) are welcome back anytime!!! Check my calender for 2008 ~ I am filling up fast.... Marianne

    • Dean & Marianne, Thank you so much for opening your home to us. WE LOVE IT! We stayed at The Sheraton Maui on our last visit and much prefer your home to it. the view is fabulous and we have not needed anything while we were here, your condo had it all! Too bad we brought our beach towels, because you had those too! :-) Can't wait for our next visit, it will definitly be at your condo. We are already missing it! Thank you again! Tara & Michael Gorgel

      Homeowner Response:
      You are welcome to come back anytime!! Leave your beach towels at home though!!! That way you will have more room in your suitcase for souvenirs!!

    • Comments: Aloha Maryanne, we so enjoyed our stay at your condo while in transit to our new location a few doors down from you!! Your place is comfortable and everything is so nice and new the kingsized bed is a real treat and the end building location is very nice. We would like to rent from you full time how about it!! We really like the complex propery it's so close to all the shopping and resturants and Front St is a few miles away. I think one of our favorite things on the property are the BBQ's what a treat watching the sunset as your grilling your favorite foods. Mahalo again for letting us stay at your place. Valori

      Homeowner Response:
      Aloha Valori!! Thank you so much for your kindness. Also, thank you for all the extra 'little things' that you do for my guests. I have had so many guests tell me about "John and Val down the way ~ they were so nice and helpful". You and John share the 'Aloha Spirit' with our guests and that means so much to Dean and I. You guys are the best!!! Marianne
