This residence boasts a wonderful location in a corner of the primary building with in a beautiful resort community. It had fabulous pool , grounds and beachfront access! We had easy access to valet, parking, the onsite market, main pool and this unit boasts a fabulous view which overlooks the main pool, Dukes (their lovely tiki torches) and of of course the oceanfront itself. The residence is in NEW condition and extremely well appointed. This is a studio unit with full kitchen, living area and spacious terrace -larger than typical studios in the area. The finishes and design are very nice. Note: the bed is very comfortable but the pillows are unbearably hard and lumpy. That said, owner has provided many wonderful extras to make your stay more enjoyable such as: beach chairs, boogie board, books, a few CDs, binoculars for whale watching as well as unexpected welcome treats like champagne and local chocolates along with specialty coffee and a few basic spices for those nights cooking in. Nice touches! The kitchen is well endowed. Keyless entry made check in /out and absolute breeze. Valet team extremely helpful and prompt. Highly recommend this lodging. We stayed during exterior painting. We were aware scaffolding would be hindering our view and the enjoyment of the balcony. For us, we found it a mild nuisance as we still had a view to the breaching whales and gorgeous sunsets. It became just a minor turnoff as we were given an inconvenience credit by the owner and yet over the weekend we were still able to sit out and enjoy drinks during the sunset and coffee in the morning. NOTE TO OWNER: install FULL length mirror in hall or bath. Small 26 gal H2O heater makes it difficult for 2 pp to take back to take simultaneous shower and bath with out running cold. Do not run dishwasher or washer at the same time as a shower, you’ll be disappointed. RECOMMEND installing “low flow” water saver shower fixture…to stretch water use and it’s easier on a sunburn skin too. The W/D in unit is very convenient but non vented dryer is ineffective. Finally, install a shelf over the commode perhaps to offset lack of vanity space and a light over the kitchen sink. Overall, a great space we highly recommend. This was our 2nd visit to Honua Kai and simply love it!
