Loved It!

We were a family of 6 (3 college aged and 1 HS). Beautiful place! We loved having the pool right outside the door and the beach just a short walk away. It’s right across the street from a grocery store which was super convenient. Would definitely be on our list if we come back to Maui!

Gorgeous villa!

We were blown away by how beautiful this villa is! We would wake up to watch the sunrise over the mountains every morning, and there was so much space to spread out for 2 families. This villa is a great location near the main resort, so it’s a quick walk to the main resort’s pools. I would not hesitate fo stay again!

Relaxing Vacation!

The property was lovely and we enjoyed having the lanai for additional space to relax and dine. The interior was well decorated and very nicely keep, after a day at the beach or on a tour, we enjoyed returning to such a relaxing villa. Having the three pools near the villas was key as the resort pools were very crowded. Having access to beach chairs and boogie boards that were available in the garage was a nice plus. We would definelty stay there again!

We had a fabulous stay at this condo. Plenty of room, very comfortable and immaculately clean. It had everything we needed and more. Our kids loved the big pool, and the smaller one right outside. Awesome location - very convenient, and nice to have the food trucks and Duke’s right there. I’d highly recommend this property to anyone and look forward to returning.

Perfect Home Base for Family Vacation

Everything about this condo was perfect for us. It is nice, new and spotless. Location is great, right in the middle of everything we needed. Food trucks and grocery store within a short walk, snorkel and surf board rentals were close by, and Whaler's Village is a quick drive for shopping and restaurants. Honua Kai resort pools were great for the family. We used the pool and hot tub right outside the condo every day. So nice to have a garage to park or to store our boards and beach gear. We'll be back!

Condo Oasis

This listing is such a great stay and worth the price. Everything is new and updated and there are so many options - the beach, the pool or all the other pools! We want to stay again! Two things that would be nice to know ahead of time; 1. The condo is up a flight of stairs and there is no elevator, so elder guests may have issues accessing the Unit. And 2. The condo pool is saltwater, which is something my kids had to get used to.

Simply- an Excellent Property

Everything that was portrayed about the property we found true on our arrival. The unit was in excellent condition, clean, and stocked with all the key essentials to help make our stay a comfortable one. The only negative I had about the unit, was the ice maker proved challenged to meet our needs. But beyond that, we loved staying here and would do so again in the future as well as recommend it to our friends who plan to visit Maui.

Ready to go back!

It’s not often you rent a place that exceeds your expectations, but this Villa did that and then some. From the moment we arrived to check in we were greeted by a friendly smile by the resort employees and nothing changed the entire stay. It was very clean, beds were cozy and it was so quiet. The large lanais were the perfect place to spend early mornings drinking coffee and watching the variety of pretty birds. Located just a short walk away from the beach this villa is the perfect peaceful getaway to spend your days! It was very well equipped with essential items to cook, BBQ and do laundry. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub especially after playing at the beach. A huge plus that we weren’t aware of is how close it is to a group of yummy food trucks! I would stay here again in a heartbeat and weeks later our two year old asks when we are going back to the house in Maui.

Honua Kai Villa 5 Stars Highly Recommended

My family of 4 and one of our adult kid’s friends stayed at this wonderful condo villa on the Honua Kai Resort property. The villa is spacious, clean, has modern appliances, and is stocked with everything needed for cooking. There is a separate garage that had boogie boards, beach chairs, a cooler, wagon, and kids toys. The only thing we would’ve liked is a beach umbrella, but we got one for free with snorkel rental at the Snorkel Store.The Luana villas are not beachfront, but they are quieter and have more private pools and hot tubs that are separate from the fairly chaotic resort pools in front of the main Honua Kai buildings. I would only recommend the Luana villas at Honua Kai and not the main buildings.The villa is in a very good location on the property. It is a short walk from the north tower, which has the whaler’s cove food market and is near to a neighboring lot that hosts food trucks (but far enough away that you don’t see or hear it).There is also a full grocery store within a short walk.Like a previous reviewer, we were told that central air was not working in the bedrooms and portable units would be provided, but we addressed our concerns with the property manager and the portable air conditioners worked well. We did not have access to the bedroom lenais due to ventingf AC, but the main lanai with a grill, dining table, and seating area facing the pool was accessible. I met the property manager on the day we arrived and she is very kind and helpful.

Air conditioning was broken long before our arrival

We were notified that air conditioning in the unit was broken only when we were in the airplane en route to the property. We later learned that this was not a recent development and that parts were on back order long before we were notified. Portable a/c units were brought in but weren’t effective. A technicality in the contract says because of the remote location, management isn’t response for mechanical failure. When we requested a credit to reflect the fact that we were living in a sauna, we were refused. We requested a late checkout. After complaining, they agreed but mentioned that this would cost them one day of rental income. THIS PROVES THAT THEY ONCE AGAIN INTENDED TO RENT THE UNIT KNOWING ThE A/C WAS BROKEN. DO YOU THINK THEY INTEND TO NOTIFY THE NEXT RENTERS OF THE BROKEN A/C OR PULL THE SAME STUNT ON THE NEXT RENTERS, UTILIZING THE SAME FINE PRINT TECHNICALITY THAT WAS USED ON US?

We Love Honua Kai - June 2021

We have stayed at Honua Kai six different times. We love this property. The villas afforded a little "getaway" from the crowds. Although you have use of all the resort pools - they were very crowded in June. The Villa pools could be crowded at times as well but we would just wait until that family was done OR we would wander over to the pool at the next villa "pod" and often there would be no one. Duke's was "sold out" for reservations until September - so be prepared to cook during your stay. They did allow walk-ups - but the wait was long. If you go to the island do NOT expect to eat out on the spur of the moment and be patient. Restaurants were still at 50% capacity and staff was in short supply (June 2021). The owners are VERY responsive and wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend. Side note - This unit did not have a lani shade - but the sun did not bother us at all during that time of year. There IS a gate at the top of the lani stairs (which we noticed some units do NOT have) if you have little ones - This would be an BIG advantage to have.

Wonderful stay with or 4 Teens!

We had an amazing 10 days at the 3 bedroom villa with our 4 teens ages 15 to 22. We have stayed at many resorts and this was by far one of our favourite places to stay. The villa was beautiful, immaculate and spacious. There was not a single thing I can think of that the villa did not have. We loved the outdoor lanai and spent hours enjoying coffee, drinks, reading, playing games. The BBQ was a huge plus. We enjoyed many lunches and dinners just hanging out instead of going out to eat. The property manager was very responsive. Wifi worked great. Beds were comfy. We loved having the private pool and hot tub right in front of the villas vs the more crowded resort pools. There is a grocery store wihin walking distance as well as excellent food trucks. Less than 5 minute walk to the beach and ocean throught the resort. Always plenty of towels. The resort itself has a decent general store with great coffee/lattes and smoothies as well as a good selection of snacks, toiletries, alcohol, etc. The restaurant at the Resort, Duke's, is also excellent. Great food, mixed drinks and yummy desserts. Everyone very friendly and sits on the ocean with gorgeous views. The snorkeling right at the resort and all along the beach was very good, our 4 kids loved it. We even saw a handful of turtles while snorkeling right at the beach. Highly Recommend. A++
