Location Location Location!

I discovered this building several years ago. This unit is situated directly on the shore line with unobstructed views to watch the sunsets, the turtles eat from the reef directly below, and the whales play not too far in the distance. The condo offers everything you need to make home cooked meals and is essentially a home away from home while you listen to the waves rock you to sleep with an ocean breeze to cool down.

Maui ocean front

We have stayed at the Hale Ono Loa before, so we knew what fantastic ocean views were in store for us. We spent alot of time on the lanai, watching the turtles come and go. We had a fantastic time and would recommend this condo to families, couples and anyone into water sports.

The best for location, view and comfort of guests.

Property was ocean view location with all the needs for our group (4 adults). Saw whales from the lanai early one morning. It met all our needs for relaxing and preparing for each day’s adventure. Host was top notch and everything went well. Five stars is not enough! Will visit again next time in Maui!

Absolutely Gorgeous

This property was everything we expected and more! The home is clean and beautifully decorated. The lanai is lovely and the views amazing. The lanai feels like the balcony of a cruise ship with the ocean right beneath you. We enjoyed watching the sea turtles from the lanai and then swimming with them. It was a wonderful stay and we can’t wait to return. Would most definitely stay in this property again!

Quiet Paradise

Our stay at HonuHouse was absolutely amazing. We loved our stay right on the water. Falling asleep to waves crashing right out the door was so peaceful. We arrived on Maui after spending a few days on Oahu and it was like going from the city to the country. We had busy and active to quiet and peaceful. We are grateful that we were able to stay in your piece of paradise.

Fantastic Views

Unit was a bit dated, but very clean and comfortable. The unit could not have been closer to the water! Listening to the waves while watching sunset and sunrise and while falling asleep was wonderful. We loved the amazing views and thoroughly enjoyed watching all the sea turtles while sitting on the deck.

Amazing! You can't get any closer to the ocean!

We were thrilled with the incredible location of this comfortable 2 bedroom 2 bath condo! Breathtaking view from a wrap around lanai on the 2nd level that overlooked turtles and breaching whales in the distance. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and good wifi made this a perfect place for 4 of us. The grounds are well kept, very nice pool and several nice BBQs and picnic areas. Wendy is extremely helpful and responsive to questions.!

Nice location. It was humid during our stay and was not aware there was no AC. Also if there is a $100 fee for moving the patio furniture, the table should be placed centered under the fan.

Jaw-dropping Oceanfront View

This unit is at the very tip of the property which gives it the most amazing view imaginable. From the lanai you can easily spot turtles and whales (in season) and the sound of the surf is positively hypnotic. The property felt a bit "tired" but our experience was influenced by the cool, rainy weather we had which meant we had to spend a LOT of time in the unit. The owner was very responsive and check-in was easy.

Amazing condo for waterfront experience!

We were extremely satisfied with this condo! The wrap around lanai overlooking the ocean (almost on top of the ocean) was breathtaking, and the sunsets beautiful! Turtles right below us, and humpback whales within view of breaching....highly recommend this place for 2-4 people. Well equipped with all the beach and snorkeling gear you need. Much appreciated that we did not have to rent. The owner, Wendy, is a great communicator and wanting to make things better for her guests. You won’t be disappointed!

Stunning Views! We will be back!

Fantastic experience with Wendy, super responsive and beautiful condo, very clean and well maintained! Watching whales and turtles or just simply sitting and taking in the view from the lanai was our favorite thing to do. Knowing there was no AC I was a bit afraid we’d be too warm, however we were completely comfortable the entire stay and the breezes were plentiful. We loved leaving the doors opened and sleeping to the sound of the waves. We hope to be back one day!

Holidays in Paradise

This property is in an amazing location being just a few short minutes from everything you could need including grocery stores, the ABC store, down town Lahaina and the amazing Maui Fish Market. The unit itself is one of the best on the property. With 180º views and you are literally on top of the ocean, with the reef and sea turtles on your doorstep every day. The unit is extremely well stocked with amenities, especially the kitchen and the beach items with everything you could you possible need for your trip. Wendy was a great owner and communication was excellent.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Hibbs

Host profile image
My husband and I bought our first unit in 2009. We love the location and the fact the complex is small and quiet. We decided to buy a second unit to rent out and have had such great luck that we decided when the 2 bedroom came available we had to have it. We wanted right on the ocean and you can't get any closer than this unit! We were both born raised in Salida, Colorado and have ran our crane business since 2000.

Why they chose this property

Hale Ono Loa is a very wonderful place. It is small, quiet and very well maintained. You couldn't ask to be any closer to the ocean. It always has turtles out front of the condo and during whale season you can watch the whales. It is a very unique place.

What makes this property unique

This condo is literally over looking the water! It has an amazing, unobstructed view of the ocean, Lanai and Molokai. You can look down into the water and watch the sea turtles daily and during whale season watch the whales breaching. You have the constant sound of the waves that makes it so relaxing! This is truly the closest you can get to the ocean.
