Maui Resort Rentals: Honua Kai Hokulani 533 – Upgraded 5th Floor Oceanview Studio
Peace and tranquility await your arrival at Hokulani 533, a spacious and luxurious oceanview studio that provides impressive vistas of the Pacific Ocean and solitude from the prevailing trade winds. This Honua Kai gem features recently upgraded flooring, new enhanced bedding, and fresh custom artwork.
Relax and reconnect in the ample living space, fully appointed for your enjoyment. This outstanding 5th-floor oceanview studio suite can accommodate up to 4 guests in its king-sized bed and queen-sized pullout sofa. The sofa sleeper was upgraded in the fall of 2018 and now features an enlarged sleeping surface, a no-springs frame, and a full 5" of comfy memory foam. The bathroom provides a glass walk-in shower, or perhaps after the sun fades beyond the Pacific, draw a bath in the soaking tub and invite in the last rays of the day.
The glass lanai doors fully open to allow four persons to comfortably enjoy the stunning view. This suite has a southern exposure which equates to more sun and less direct wind, generating the perfect balance for tropical air conditioning. In this suite opulence and comfort are the constant, gracefully interwoven for your happiness and relaxation.
We encourage you to express your culinary creativity in the well-appointed kitchen. The space is fully equipped with stainless steel Bosch appliances and granite countertops, and we have provided every appliance & utensil to prepare the perfect meal or refreshment... just bring the ingredients. Enjoy your meals on the spacious lanai or dine indoors in the climate controlled air conditioning. In addition, our commercial grade Vitamix blender lends itself well to preparing creative libations or smoothies with fresh local produce.
Take pleasure in spending your days at the resort’s three-acre aquatic playground. With four separate swimming pools, a waterslide, waterfalls, fountains, and four hot tubs, there will be no shortage of options for you and your loved ones to enjoy.
When it is time for a bite to eat, Honua Kai is home to the popular Duke’s Beach House, which serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails. Duke’s specializes in serving up Hawaiian-inspired cuisine using locally sourced ingredients and freshly caught seafood. Should you wish to enjoy a refreshment by the water, poolside service is available. For coffee, sandwiches, and other grab-and-go items, including beach gear and souvenirs, visit the Whalers General Store conveniently located in the Konea Tower lobby.
A state-of-the-art fitness center is located in the Konea Tower, perfect for guests looking to maintain their workout routine during their stay.
Should you feel like pampering yourself with a refreshing massage or treatment, head to the Mana Ola Spa. This sanctuary within the resort weaves Hawaiian-inspired themes and ingredients into its wide array of signature treatments. Revitalize your senses with a Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage, Pohaku Massage, or Purifying Ocean Mineral Facial.
If you wish to avoid excessive baggage fees from the airlines, consider packing lighter and utilizing the washer and dryer in the residence. Free upgraded 300 Mbps high-speed Wi-Fi is available and included with your stay. Complimentary booster seats, high chairs, and futons are also available upon request (based on availability).
Honua Kai occupies 38 pristine beachfront acres on the shores of Kaʻanapali’s North Beach, so you’ll literally be just steps away from the tranquility of Maui’s shoreline. Stroll out to the beach to touch your toes in the soft sand or take a refreshing dip in the Pacific Ocean. An “Ohana Play Package” including beach chairs, BBQ equipment, and a portable cooler is provided complimentary.
If during your stay you require assistance or advice about the surrounding area or the suite, rest assured that you’ll be swiftly taken care of with aloha by one of our friendly and knowledgeable liaisons - hand-picked from West Maui’s leading luxury hotels. Help will never be far away because our offices are ideally located directly across the street.
*Please note that Honua Kai is located in a hotel-zoned area meant for tourism and is thus safe from Maui's pending short-term rental ban affecting apartment-zoned areas.*

Aloha Scott and mahalo for your comments. We're happy to hear that everything was great, and the condo was as expected. It was our pleasure to host you, and we hope to see you again. With aloha, MRR
The unit was just as pictured. Host was very responsive to all our questions and easy to communicate with. Bed was comfortable and unit was clean. The resort grounds are immaculately taken care of and the pool and hot tub areas were nearly perfect. Beach is just a few more steps away than the pool with Dukes restaurant in between. So convenient!Thank you for a great stay. Micah and Lala

This place was perfect! So comfortable and convenient! It truly is a great place to call home for a week! Beach was awesome! And walk to the food truck area around the corner for some great meals! Definitely would return here again and again!

Aloha Kevin, Mahalo for sharing your experience with us. We are glad you enjoyed your trip to Maui and are looking forward to having you back in the future!
This is a well-equipped, functional condo in a nice building. The A/C works well, and everything was as described. The onsite staff is excellent! Would definitely return.

Aloha Alisa, We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found our staff helpful. Mahalo!
The resort was great with three pools for the kids to spend pats of the day. The restaurant onsite was also very welcoming and nice to have so close. The condo had a great view of the ocean. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had most of the utensils you would need. The fridge door was a little tricky but overall a good experience.
Great condo...clean and updated...very comfortable. Was not aware of the painters, scaffolding and lifts in the yard, but we were there over the weekend when not working so we were good. Great place, price, bed, pool, store, etc....would recommend...looks like the painters have a ways to go...huge job.
We stayed here for our honeymoon. It was wonderful. The view of the lanai right when you walked in was breathtaking. The size of the suite was perfect for 2 people. The unit had what we needed for our stay from everything in the kitchen, bbq stuff and bathroom and laundry supplies. The beach chairs and coolers were a nice touch. The whole property itself is beautiful. The check in process was so easy. We loved being so close to the beach and the pool area was really nice. The Kaanapali area had so much to do. We can’t wait to hopefully come back in the future.
Beautiful place to stay. We would love to come back. The only issue we had was that the hot water ran out very quickly. We were not able to take a bath on the trip. The power went out the first morning. No fault of the owner at all but it was a bummer. Overall this condo was amazing

Aloha Clayton and mahalo for your comments. We agree the Honua Kai is a beautiful place, and we’re glad you found the condo to be amazing. We’re sorry that you didn’t have hot water enough for a full bath. In the future, please reach out as we would be happy to have our engineering team test the heater for maximum efficiency. Maui experienced an island-wide power outage during your stay and we’re sorry for any inconvenience this posed. We hope to see you on your next Maui vacation. With warm aloha ~ The Maui Resort Rentals ohana
Overall it was a great stay but I wasn't communicated about the construction of the building which was very disturbing until the last minute.
Pro:
- Location
- Right on the beach
- proximity to restaurants
- Clear checkin / checkout process
- parking included
Cons:
- Construction on the property
- Condo needs lots of repairs (the shower door doesn't work, the coffee machine is in very bad shape etc...)
- Sofa convertible bed is in very bad shape as well

Aloha Akhil and mahalo for your comments. We’re glad that overall, you had a great stay, but sorry you were disturbed by Honua Kai’s painting project. Due to the project, this home was offered a discounted rate, and the VRBO listing discloses the project at the top of the opening page. We also sent an email notification to the address on file. We inspected the shower door and found it to work well and apologize if it wasn’t working for your stay. We inspected the sofa bed and found the memory foam mattress to be reasonably comfortable. We did find the coffee machine burner damaged and have replaced the machine. Thank you for your feedback, we wish you all the best with your future travels. Kind regards ~ Maui Resort Rentals
Love the Honua Kai resort. Great location. Pools are awesome and love the food and beverage service poolside. Quick walk to the beach past the pools. Best place to watch the sunset. The condo itself is perfect. The photos don’t capture how close the ocean view is. Perfect to sit on the lanai and see the ocean as well as the property. Condo has all you need if you choose to cook there. It was a great fit for my husband and me. Everything in the condo is in top condition. They also have a cooler and beach chairs for you to use. So much roomier than a hotel room would have been. Bed was super comfortable. A nice welcome gift of banana bread and coffee upon arrival. Can’t wait to go back!!!
Beautiful resort! Our studio was super cute and spacious. I enjoyed how close the pool and beach was to us! It was a really nice stay and I would recommend staying here for any type of vacation!
My husband and I visited Maui for our 10 year anniversary in June and had a wonderful stay at Honua Kai Resort! The property is beautiful and we spent a lot of time on the beach- snorkeling right off the beach was great too! Our room was nice as well and the staff from Maui Resort Rentals was so accommodating. One day we noticed one of our beach chairs was broken, and they had one delivered to our room within the hour. Right out of the airport we stopped at the Costco and stocked up on snacks and liquor! There definitely were a lot of families at the resort with kids, but we didn’t mind because we have 3 of our own (they were at home for this trip though :) ) The ocean view from the balcony was beautiful! I also enjoyed walking and running on the small boardwalk/beach walk in the mornings. It’s nice because it goes past all the other resorts in Kaanapali… we walked right down to the Luau (Myths of Maui at the Royal Lahaina)! Overall, great experience and we definitely would come back!
My husband and I just stayed here for our honeymoon. It is a perfect space for two with the full kitchen and large bathroom. Not to mention the balcony. It has an amazing ocean view where we whale watched every morning and night. Very clean space. Bed was super cozy and you could see the ocean from it! Check In was simple. We will definitely be back!
