Hopefully, this will help someone plan their vacation. Pros: Grounds were immaculate Snorkeling was right out the door and wonderful. We saw sea turtles, trigger fish, puffers and a variety of other fish View from room could not be beat. Turtles sleep in front of the deck below. Staff really nice. Condo had fully stocked kitchen with all the basics to use dishwasher, make coffee Personal opinions (yours may differ, or you may not care): Family condo and only 1 boogie board? As a gift, we purchased a boogie board from Costco and left it at the condo, so there are now 2. No paddle boards, but saw lots of them with other condos on site. Couch was uncomfortable....unless you like sitting on cushions where you can feel the wooden supports underneath....then you’ll be fine. No soft flooring. I get why you would want tile in a rental on the beach. But a few area rugs would go a long ways to pad feet when first getting out of bed to keeping the furniture foot stools from sliding out from under your feet. Soft beds...I love soft beds, you may not. Noise...disclaimer, we live in the country and have teens. There were kids and, yes, they play somewhat loudly (with the occasional tantrum, depending on who is visiting). I love the open slats on the window, but they don’t block noise. However, the whole site is quiet by 10pm and often earlier. I would not hesitate to recommend this place. FWIW, we snorkeled in 2 other places and never saw sea turtles, but saw multiple turtles every day here.

This is truly the "Best kept secret in Maui!" The Cove is made up of 33 individually owned condos. All are decorated nicely. The grounds are beautiful and the snorkeling is some of the best of the island. Su, the rental manager is fantastic and will help you whenever needed. We have been staying here for almost 20 years, so obviously we love the place. We're almost afraid to recommend it highly because the occupancy rate is already high enough.

Honokeana Cove was recommended to us by friends who stay here regularly. We were so happy we stayed here! The experience was just what we were looking for. It's private and well maintained with a pool, lounging area, and snorkeling. It is small, not like the huge hotels in the area. The unit was well equipped, very clean and in overall good condition, with one exception detailed below.* This unit is the very closest to the water and every night 5 turtles nestled up on the shore right down from our deck. It was amazing. The cove is very private and has steps down to the water from which you can get into the water and snorkel. One tip: sit on the rocks a while after snorkeling to regain your equilibrium! It's not the easiest getting in and out but remember, "Sand is your friend. Rocks are not." The beach is rocky so it's not really a swimming beach. The grounds are immaculate thanks to dear Raymond Watson, the resident manager, and the rest of the crew. Don't miss Wednesday night social hour. It's fun to hear how many of the guests are return visitors, some for 20 years or more! One visit here and we understood why they returned. We were told by a local person that it is the only cove like it on the island that is so private and protected. We explored the island and found nothing better. We had two couples in the unit and it was plenty roomy with two bedrooms and two baths. The kitchen was well equipped with cooking supplies and even spices, etc! If we return to Maui, this will be on our list. Go to the Gazebo restaurant next door for breakfast. The line is long but it's a great spot. If you go at 7:00 a.m. you'll only have to wait until they open at 7:30. Plus, with the time difference, it won't seem early to those of us from the mainland. We highly recommend The Cove! *The owner really needs to replace the louvered mechanism on the front door. The maintenance person did a great job of fastening it together, but it's a temporary fix. RW: wear sunscreen!

This has become our little taste of heaven. The condos are wonderful and the cove is a wonderful place to snorkel and see lots of turtles. The office staff is so friendly and helpful. Su has always made us feel like we are family and welcomes us with open arms. I really don't know what the Cove would do without Su around. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Our home away from home.

We love the location and the beautiful view. The grounds were well maintained. The only negative was that the quite hours rule was not enforced and the individuals renting the condo's around us were up at 6:00 am everyday and very loud.
