Gorgeous home on quiet Old Makena Road with West-facing ocean views from every room.

Slip on your beach shoes, walk down your 40 foot dogleg to the left of your front lawn, step over small rocks, and swim with the turtles at our private ocean access. It is just a short walk to sandy beaches on each side of our home.

Beautiful sunsets every night from our private half-acre lot on the ocean.

Breeching of humpback whales can be seen just off-shore in winter months.

Three-bedroom 2250 square-foot home has been decorated with Hawaiian style art, teak furniture from Bali, and newly remodeled kitchen. Each bedroom has its own full bath.

Luxurious master bedroom with ocean views from your king-sized bed. Second bedroom has a queen-sized bed. The third bedroom has two twins that convert into a king.

Wifi included, with a desk in the main room, and the third bedroom can be used as an office.

Missionary founded church is two doors down. Ideal for destination weddings.

Our stay was wonderful! The view from this home is absolutely gorgeous—breathtaking sunsets, so many whales, turtles along the shore, relaxing and taking in the sound of the waves. AMAZING! The house managers were so helpful during our stay and made sure to answer any questions we had about the property.

We stayed for 6 nights in this nice home in just a beautiful location. This is a quiet neighborhood and the view can't be beat. Perfect for ocean photos and a glass of wine at sunset.The house and furnishings are "genuine Hawaiian" which we prefer (we aren't really resort people). The only drawback I can think of is one bedroom that did not have a window you can open, so you basically have to keep the AC on all night. But the 2 other bedrooms (the main ones) have screened windows, the family members who stayed in those opened the windows at night and loved them.Communication with the owners and the on-island managers was prompt and good. All in all, this is a great location for a vacation stay.

It's hard to put into words how magical our stay was at Makena Makai. To sum it up, we said the most memorable part of the trip was our time spent at the home. The peaceful setting is quiet, relaxing, and perfect for slowing down and enjoying time together. Makena Makai feels like a place with a story, offering a rare blend of old-Hawaii character, comfort, and natural beauty. It was the perfect backdrop for meaningful family memories, and we left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already dreaming of returning.

We arrived on the tail end of the second set of Kona storms. The property had some flooding damage which still needed to be repaired, but they did their best not to let that interfere with our stay. The manager was extremely kind, attentive, and helpful. The house could use a little updating, but it was very comfortable, and the location is absolutely unbeatable. We loved being right on the ocean, but away from a public beach. The rocks out front were lovely, and we enjoyed seeing turtles and fish right in from of the house. It felt very private and peaceful, and we LOVED the sunsets! We also loved that Maluaka beach is a short walk away, and the snorkeling right in front and at Maluaka was awesome! Considering the cost of lodging on Maui, especially for 3 bedrooms, this was a great value. We hope to stay again in the future.

Wonderful property, quiet location but still convenient to local activities, restaurants, etc. The snorkeling right off the property was *fabulous* with many turtles (keep your distance) and plenty of reef wildlife. It’s best to get out early in the day when the water is most calm and before the big snorkel tour boats start pulling up nearby. The great snorkeling here isn’t a secret unfortunately!Mahalo, Sue and Clark!

Great property and a wonderful stay

Our family stayed here in late March / early April of this year. The setting is second to none and there were few things more relaxing than sitting and the table and enjoying the sound of the waves. The property was fully stocked with everything you could ever need, including boogie boards, beach towels, and chairs. Sue was wonderful throughout the process and we would definitely stay again.

Best location on Maui

best possible place to stay. Hale O Honu is absolutely unique. The house is outfitted with everything you’ll need. There’s plenty of extra snorkel masks, fins, and shoes. We spent mornings swimming and snorkeling, mid day touring the island or hiking, then great evenings at home watching the sunsets before tribal council. Most mornings there were sea turtles on the beach sunning in the back yard. I cannot recommend highly enough. Location, location, location.

About the host

Hosted by Sue Johnson

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

My parents built this home in 1969, when the only access was a dirt road. They lived here year round, but had no mail or paper delivery for many years. Its a lovely, quiet location in a pristine area, which my husband and I regularly update, and keep decorated in the Hawaiian style.

What makes this property unique

Snorkeling, turtle and whale viewing (in winter months) is awesome from our location. We can also swim off the left front side of our property. Our oceanfront location with sunset views overlooking 3 islands and 2 peninsulas is truly unparalleled.
