Private Slice of Heaven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything you need has been provided for a relaxing vacation. The view from the balcony was priceless. Cool breezes in the evening made it easy to sleep listening to the ocean waves break. Small community feel with direct access to Honokeana Cove. Saw many turtles basking on the rocky shore and was able to swim with them. Saw whales every day from the balcony. Only issue was that access to the cove for snorkling is difficult due to the rocky shore and slippery rocks. Other than that, this place was ideal.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had 4 units, and #114 was definitely the nicest one, the owners sent us a postcard before we arrived, and also left us a $50 gift certificate to the local store, little things that they don’t have to do, but their pride in ownership really shows. They had beach chairs, snorkel equipment etc... again the little things that all add up to a great trip. The condo itself was in great shape. A wonderful place to enjoy the Cove!!! Cari in front office was great and Ray the property manager was on point. Grounds were immaculate. Can’t wait to return.

Unit 114 at The Cove is perfect for 2 people!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our unit was gorgeous and so well equipped! Not only could we walk right out to the lawn, then a few more steps to the ocean to snorkel with turtles or use the pool, we were able to enjoy the sun setting right from our lanai in April! This condo was the most well equipped unit we have ever rented, having everything you would ever want. Even the knives were sharp! We truly appreciate the care the owners put into their unit and their excellent communication! There was snorkel gear available for use, great maps and info about Maui, beach chairs and an ice chest. Plus, two air conditioners if the weather is hot. You will not be disappointed if you book 114. Honokeana Cove is the best place to rent if you like to snorkel. Easy access to the cove, which has MANY resident sea turtles and clear water with lots of different fish. The swimming pool is heated, so when you get out of the ocean water, you can dip into the pool and it is like having a hot tub! Although there is public access to the cove, it would be too tough for less agile people to get in and out. We are 75 and had zero problems with ocean access while staying at Honokeana Cove.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This 2023 trip to Condo #114 was the makeup trip for an identical one we had to cancel in June, 2022, due to Cindy breaking a leg just 4 days before the 2022 trip was to begin.Honokeana office staff were great at transferring our payments from 2022 to the new 2023 reservation. Everything having to do with the office side of the reservation went smoothly, and we were kept informed of gate codes, etc.Condo #114 isa very well-appointed condo, and had a number of amenities provided by the owners we have not seen in other Honokeana units (we have stayed in three other Honokeana condos).We also very much appreciate the attention given to keeping the grounds, BBQ, pool and general facilities in good order.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A perfect view of the cove, Molokai and sunsets. Great, easy access to snorkeling. The grounds are perfectly maintained. Our unit, 114 was perfectly located. The unit needs a bit of modernizing and WAY TOO MUCH furniture and art and knickknacks. The bottom sheets didn't really fit. The bed linens in general were old and of low quality, The sauce pans need replacement.

A relaxed lovely stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Aloha! I’m so glad I booked this place! Steps away from a rocky cove with amazing snorkeling! Honokeana Cove is a smaller condo “resort” and I really enjoyed the vibe. I say “resort” because it is more a home away from home, and the other guests that I spoke with were mostly repeat guests or regulars which is telling. Unit #114 was perfect for us (myself and my partner.) I live on a lower floor apt. in my regular life so I was a little concerned about possible noise from above us, but it wasn’t really noticeable and I liked being able to access everything right from our lanai. The snorkel gear provided was good, didn’t need to rent. Everything was clean and maintained. The kitchen was well supplied! Cooking oil, basic spices too, which were a nice plus. Plenty of ice, freezer packs, a few storage containers, etc. you know, the stuff you forget you need until you need it! Some condiments like ketchup/mustard would have been nice but understandable they can’t keep stuff in the fridge because of sanitary reasons. The updated mattress was comfortable (don’t worry about the older reviews about the 2 Twins - it’s been handled!) Loved the black out curtains and air conditioning units for the hotter evenings. Beautiful cross-breeze most days. Nice shower, water pressure and storage for toiletries. Living room was comfortable- we didn’t need to use the fold out couch as a bed so can’t comment on that. A good collection of Maui travel books and info which was helpful. The smart TV is a little outdated - small glitch that we weren’t able to beam content from our devices to the TV, but we didn’t come to Maui for screen time! I found most guests were mindful of their volume and quiet hours but you will hear chit chat and kids playing outside from the lanai as it’s a small property. Everyone seems to settle in by 9pm anyway. Nice, friendly staff. Convenient to groceries and re

This unit had everything we needed and has a great view! The Cove has repaired itself over the past two years with new colors in the corals. So beautiful! The turtles now bask in the sun every day and you can just sit and enjoy their majesty. The unit has 2 air conditioners. DVD player (we bought two and left them for future guests). Plenty of water gear to use so check the closets and such before you go rent! A lot of stuff for kids there too. The bed needs replacing but I hear that is happening soon! As usual, we met lovely new friends and got to visit with the charming on site staff! Everyone at The Cove is like Ohana

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The one issue we had with this unit was the master bed, which was two twin beds put together, foam type topper on top, with a bump in the middle of the bed. For a two week stay, the bed was extremely uncomfortable, the pillows equally bad, and we did not have one good night of sleep because of it. Outside of the bed, it was a good unit, and of course, a great property in general.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was lovely and comfortable. Outstanding location on the property. Beautifully maintained gardens. Bathroom a bit tiny. While I fully understand the concern over Covid, I think the office personnel were unreasonable in refusing to talk to us from the distance of the open door with plexiglass in between/we were vaccinated & tested/and they had masks on. Overkill to say the least.

The Best!

It took a year, because of Covid, for us to get here and then we never wanted to leave. Cooking breakfast and BBQ at night to this view was the best. Everyone is so friendly and the grounds are impeccably cared for. The area is perfect if you want to feel like a local. If you like to snorkel this is the place to be. We snorkeled with turtles everyday and ended the day with the most beautiful sunsets you will ever see. Can't wait to come back next year. This condo was very clean and had everything you could want for a great trip.

About the host

Hosted by Rental Manager

Host profile image
The photo shows Nola and Art Chester, the owners of #114 Honokeana Cove. Here’s a message from Nola and Art: We live in Southeast Michigan and have roots in Southern California and the New York City area. Now we are mostly retired; previously, Art was a research lab director (see ArtChester.net) and Nola worked at General Motors. Our neighbors in Malibu had been coming to Honokeana Cove for many years and they persuaded us to give it a try. We loved it immediately! Nicer and more personal than the big resort hotels where we used to vacation. Instead of a mile walk from the parking lot and a mile walk down the hall to your room, at the Cove we can walk off our lanai and we’re “right there” – into the swimming pool, or into the ocean. And swimming with those giant turtles is a unique, almost spiritual experience. We are happy to be able to share this special place with you! Art and Nola Chester

Why they chose this property

Nola & Art say: We love the Napili area for its low-rise, “Old Hawaii” feeling, and we love Honokeana Cove for its small size, its friendliness, and its superbly landscaped grounds. When Unit 114 became available, we immediately wanted to buy it. Why? Because it’s on the ground floor, you can use your lanai as your “front door”, so you’re not always running up and down stairs. Because it’s centrally located, facing West, with a completely unobstructed view of lawn, pool, Cove and sunsets. And because it’s in the center building, which gets sun and afternoon breezes. We update appliances or furniture almost every year. You will find the condo crisp and clean, with sparkling tile and stone, plus Hawaiian fabrics and prints. There's a big ceramic turtle on the wall of our lanai, in honor of the even bigger ones that live in the Cove.

What makes this property unique

Nola & Art say: Napili is a great location when visiting Maui, the most beautifully varied of all the Hawaiian islands. It’s a 7 minute drive to the West Maui airport (JHM), or you can also fly in and out of the “big” airport in Kahului (OGG), 55 minutes away. Napili is a quiet location between the big resorts of Kaanapali and Kapalua. You can easily get to those places when you want to shop, play golf or tennis, or visit a special restaurant, but you don’t have to put up with their crowds the rest of the time. Honolua Bay, D T Fleming beach, and the uncrowded northwest coast are just minutes to the north. Lahaina Town, with its bustle and excitement, is just as close to the south.

In all of Napili, we believe that Honokeana Cove is the very best spot! It is a small gated compound of 38 low-rise units gathered around a private cove. The Cove has wonderful snorkeling, with tropical fish, coral gardens and plenty of giant Sea Turtles. Just outside the Cove, visible from your lanai, is one of West Maui’s top surfing spots, where you will see local surfers showing their skills. And if you want a sandy beach for variety, Napili Bay, one of Maui’s most beautiful, is just 5 minutes walk (¼ mile) to the north.
