Where Every Sunset Becomes a Memory for Your Family
Honokeana Cove 209 is a beautifully updated 3‑bedroom, 2‑bath top‑floor retreat just a quarter mile south of the iconic white sands of Napili Bay. Set within a lush, tropical 38‑unit community, this corner unit overlooks a secluded cove known for some of the best snorkeling on Maui—without the crowds. Guests enjoy front‑row views of seasonal whales, playful dolphins, and the neighboring island of Molokai, all from a setting that feels peaceful, private, and authentically Hawaiian.
The cove is a marine wonderland, offering effortless encounters with sea turtles, vibrant coral formations, and colorful tropical fish. A heated oceanfront pool and three oceanside gas grills are just steps from your door, perfect for sunset swims and evening BBQs. When you’re ready to explore, Napili Bay (5‑minute walk) and Kapalua Bay (10‑minute walk) offer world‑class snorkeling, paddle boarding, and swimming. Coffee shops, restaurants, groceries, and gear rentals are all within walking distance, and Kapalua’s championship golf courses are only minutes away.
Thoughtfully Designed for Comfort Cove 209 features two bedrooms and one bathroom on the main level, plus a private mezzanine suite with its own bathroom upstairs. The corner layout and abundant windows capture refreshing trade winds, while a mature Kamani tree off the lanai provides natural shade, privacy, and a serene tropical backdrop. The interior is bright, airy, and clutter‑free, with modern touches like USB outlets, a touch‑activated kitchen faucet, and smart ceiling fans.

It is a intimate and beautiful compound of low rise buildings in a semi circle around a pool with ocean vistas. I have never seen so may turtles as I did in the small bay. Clean, modern, and spacious. We had a very lovely stay and would come again.

Fourth time back to this lovely complex. The best place to see turtles on the Island. Nice, clean well kept complex with beautiful gardens. Thanks for a wonderful time.
We enjoyed everything about this property, starting with location: amazing location with great snorkeling and sea turtles steps away, ocean views from main living space, pool and lawn visible from lanai, walk to Napili and Kapalua, near-daily rainbows in December. The unit: updated interiors with fun, beachy decor, ninja blender and daily smoothies, puzzles, games, beach chairs, one snorkel set, great small kitchen with everything you need, plenty of hooks to keep towels try, comfortable beds and bedding, wonderfully placed lounge furniture to enjoy the view. Lovely staff and guests! Our stay was the best, and we hope to return in the future!

Aloha Kristine, This unit is on the market and, you are right, it needs a lot of love. I am hoping it sells soon so a new owner will renovate. It is one of two units here that aren't quite up to the Cove's standards. Please book early next time and select a better unit for your needs. mahalo, su
Loved our stay at this unit. Incredible ocean views from Lanai (better than I expected based on the photos). We were a group of six and had plenty of space. 15-minute walk to Napili beach, one of our favourite beaches on the island. Every day we saw lots of turtles swimming in the cove or sunning on the shore. The unit also stayed a nice comfortable temperature for our entire stay. Property managers were always friendly and responsive. We would love to return to this unit in future.

a nice private cove with great snorkeling. great place for adults who like quieter surroundings; no sandy beach. condos backing up to parking lot have bedrooms that hear all of the guests coming and going. can be remedied with guests being very aware of their voices, but that was the only downside.

This is the 3rd unit we've stayed in on the property. It's roomy with a well-appointed kitchen. The furniture is not as comfortable or "homie" feeling as other units. That's my only complaint.
This was our third time staying at Honokeana Cove (different units each visit) so we knew exactly what to expect from the property and surrounding area. The unit came stocked with everything you could need for your stay including beach chairs, towels, and umbrella. The kitchen is well stocked, even with spices for cooking and plasticware to take down to the pool deck. My singular complaint is that there wasn’t foil to use at the ocean front grills and that’s something we could easily resolve ourselves. Despite the fact that this unit is tucked into the corner, there’s a fantastic ocean view and great airflow through all of the windows. This condo truly does not disappoint and the property itself is no exception!

We loved our stay in Honokeana. Perfect location without the crowds of Lahaina. The only suggestions I have would be to put a VCR, digital cable and a flat screen TV in each room. In addition, it would have been nice to have a hot tub on site. The location was perfect for snorkeling, walking to the Gazeebo restaurant, and driving in to Lahaina for more food options. We'll definitely be back!

we had a group of friends stay here, and our local friends recommended Napili for the beaches. The condo was impeccable and had everything we needed. Even a few loaner chairs and float noodles which were so great to have. Loved the sea turtles everyday and the tiki torches at night with sunset. Just a perfect spot, beach access is a few minutes walk around to the next bay, otherwise enjoy the rocky Honokeana Bay perfect for swimming, snorkeling and paddleboarding. Wish we could have stayed forever.

This is our second time staying at Honokeana and I can't rave about it enough. It's the best snorkeling on the island and we just love the low key, easy feel of the property. When we go to an island, we want to feel a bit removed from it all, but we also have small children. So, this is THE PERFECT option for feeling quiet and secluded, away from the giant resorts, with a perfect pool, kitchen and play areas for the kids. This condo in particular was so nicely redone and furnished. Please include in the rental listing that you have beach chairs and an umbrella for your guests to use (would've saved us from renting prior to arrival). Thank you!

Honokeana Cove is a quiet, private condo on Maui's west shore. It is located on a marvellous snorkelling cove with a killer view of Molokai. The sandy beach is a 1-2 block walk. Unit 209 is 2 Br + upstairs loft bedrrom and 2 full baths. The unit is well stocked. It is clean and the furnishings are more than adequate. In all, if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing place to stay on Maui, this is it. It is particularly well suited for extended stays. Many of the guests get to know each other at the pool or communal BBQs.

Not too fancy but comfortable in a terrific location on a cove full of turtles and lovely fish. Hard to find this level on the coast which has enormous complexes that are newer and more expensive but pretty generic and far more expensive. This place is like home-- quirky. Some units more up-to-date than others. The one we rented needs an upgrade but was fine for our family. We could cook for ourselves--there are three gas grills for guests. Hard to beat!

We arrived after office hours to the keys waiting in the managers mail box. The unit was clean and well appointed, LOVED the view when we woke up in the morning. More importantly it was quite. The perfect vacation spot to relax and hang out with your family. All the beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The only thing I could "complain" about was that there weren't any extra blankets (that I could locate), only the thin bed cover and sheets. I would have liked an extra blanket. We definitely will plan on requesting this unit again!

Honokeana Cove is our favorite place to stay in Maui. We've stayed in numerous units over the years and this was by far the most need of updating. The carpet was old and stained. Even the wrought iron patio furniture with vinyl seats have seen their day. They did add nice granite on top of the original dated cabinets, which was odd. Also, the unit does have a fair amount road noise, but it helped to shut windows and curtains. Other than that the staff and property were fantastic as usual. Will come back again, just not to this unit.

Reviewer Comments:
This was a lovely resort but we unfortunately had a below average condo. Upon arrival we found the condo had not been inspected and cleaning products were left out, a smoke detector was chirping, and bath towels were missing. Resident manager was extremely helpful and corrected everything right away. First surprise was no air conditioning. This was not communicated well upon booking...I eventually found a blurb on the FAQ page of the website, buried under "Heating and Cooling" that not all condos have air. Would not have been an issue except our condo was located next to the road and we were awakened every day at 5:30am by the noise. Air with closed windows would have greatly reduced the traffic noise. Condo is in desperate need of updating. Dresser drawers were broken, beds very uncomfortable, door knobs on bedrooms would stay locked after leaving the room, then blow shut by the breeze and we would get locked out. Fortunately the resident manager provided us with the keys. Another smoke detector went off at 3:00am that we had to dismantle. The video on the website made the condo appear lighter and brighter than it actually was. Again, updating the dark wood paneling would make it more light and appealing. I got the feeling this condo is not rented often and the only update it's had in the last 20 years is granite in the kitchen. The resort itself is lovely, beautifully landscaped, great location on the cove with outstanding snorkeling, clean pool, walking distance to Napili Bay and restaurants. At night we could see in some other condos and they looked much nicer than ours. First time we've had a less than excellent experience based on a TripAdvisor high rating. Very disappointing. Would only return if we had an air conditioned unit that was updated.

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 2, 2020
Aloha Jeff, I am terribly sorry for your experience in this unit. This owner is making plans to do some updating next year. I hope you will come see us again and book early to get the unit you desire. As far as air conditioning, normally we do not need it here in Napili. It just so happened that we had an unusual heat wave; the hottest I have seen it in the 45 years I have lived here. Mahalo for your review, Su
