Oceanfront Maui Condo 3BR – Snorkeling with Turtles in Private Cove

**Honokeana Cove Unit 217 – Oceanfront Maui Retreat w/ Turtle Snorkeling**

**Overview**

Oceanfront Maui condo at Honokeana Cove—one of the island’s most remarkable snorkeling destinations and home to daily sightings of Hawaiian green sea turtles.

From the moment you arrive, you’re steps from calm, clear waters perfect for snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. This fully renovated 3-bedroom retreat blends modern island design with one of West Maui’s most unforgettable natural settings.

Walk to nearby beaches and some of Maui’s most loved restaurants, or take a short drive to Kaʻanapali or Whalers Village for shopping, dining, and additional activities.

**The Space**

Fully renovated by Architectural Design and Construction Inc. (ADC Maui), Unit 217 was designed as a true island retreat—warm, intentional, and elevated in every detail.

From the custom hickory staircase to the loft design, bathrooms, lighting, and furnishings, every element was hand-selected specifically for this home. The result is a bright, comfortable oceanfront condo that feels both refined and relaxed.

Set as an upstairs corner unit in a secure gated complex, it offers added privacy, cooling trade winds, and views overlooking Honokeana Cove.

This is not just a place to stay. It’s a front-row seat to one of Maui’s most iconic oceanfront experiences.

About the host

Hosted by Graham and Carrie Varnell

Host profile image
Aloha! We’re Graham and Carrie Varnell, managers of Honokeana Cove #217. We are lifelong Alaskans and owners of a small family real estate business, Suburban Realty. Family and hospitality are very important to us, and we take pride in helping guests enjoy a comfortable and memorable stay in Maui.
We have three children — Esther, Micah, and Josiah — and we understand how meaningful vacations with family and friends can be. We strive to provide responsive communication, thoughtful accommodations, and a relaxing island experience from booking through checkout. We’re grateful for the opportunity to share this special place with our guests and hope you enjoy Honokeana Cove as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We chose Honokeana Cove because it offers a quieter, more authentic Maui experience while still being close to everything we love about West Maui. The neighborhood has an incredibly relaxed atmosphere with beautiful ocean views, tropical landscaping, and easy access to some of the island’s best snorkeling, beaches, and restaurants.
What we enjoy most is the peaceful setting and the connection to the ocean. The cove itself is truly special — it’s common to see Hawaiian green sea turtles swimming and resting nearby, and the sunsets from the property are unforgettable. The area has a welcoming, laid-back feel that makes it easy to slow down and enjoy island life.
We also love that Honokeana Cove is conveniently located near Napili, Kapalua, and Kaanapali. Guests can easily explore nearby beaches, hiking trails, golf courses, local shops, and great dining, while still returning to a calm and quiet oceanfront retreat at the end of the day.

What makes this property unique

Honokeana Cove #217 offers a rare combination of true oceanfront views, exceptional snorkeling, and the relaxed atmosphere of a small, low-density resort. The condo overlooks Honokeana Cove, where guests regularly see Hawaiian green sea turtles right from the shoreline and often while snorkeling in the calm protected waters below.
Unlike large crowded resorts, Honokeana Cove has a peaceful, welcoming community feel with beautifully maintained tropical grounds and some of the best sunset views in West Maui. Unit 217 is positioned to enjoy stunning ocean views, cooling trade winds, and the sound of the waves throughout the day.
The condo is fully equipped for extended stays and family travel, with comfortable living spaces, a well-stocked kitchen, and thoughtful touches designed to help guests feel at home while enjoying everything Maui has to offer. Its location is also ideal — close to beaches, restaurants, food trucks, snorkeling spots, golf, and nearby Kapalua and Kaanapali, while still feeling tucked away from the busier tourist areas.
