Maui Resort Rentals: Honua Kai Hokulani 837 - Stunning 8th Floor Ocean View Studio

This spacious oceanview studio provides awe-inspiring views of the Pacific Ocean and Maui's neighbor island Lanai from its prime 8th-floor vantage point nestled in the Hokulani interior courtyard.

Relax and reconnect in the ample living space fully appointed for your enjoyment. This outstanding 8th-floor oceanview studio suite can accommodate up to 4 guests in its king-sized bed and full-size pullout sofa. As day turns into evening, relax and recharge--draw a bath in the soaking tub and invite in the last rays of the day.

The glass lanai doors fully open allowing four persons to comfortably enjoy the stunning view. This suite has a southern exposure which equates to more sun and less direct wind generating the perfect balance for tropical air conditioning. In this suite opulence and comfort are the constant, gracefully interwoven for your happiness and relaxation.

We encourage you to express your culinary creativity in the well-appointed kitchen. The space is fully equipped with stainless steel Bosch appliances and granite countertops, and we have provided every appliance & utensil to prepare the perfect meal or refreshment... just bring the ingredients. Enjoy your meals on the spacious lanai or dine indoors in the climate controlled air conditioning. In addition, our commercial grade Vitamix blender lends itself well to preparing creative libations or smoothies with fresh local produce.

Take pleasure in spending your days at the resort’s three acre aquatic playground. With four separate swimming pools, a waterslide, waterfalls, fountains, and five hot tubs there will be no shortage of options for you and your loved ones to enjoy.

When it is time for a bite to eat, Honua Kai is home to the popular Duke’s Beach House Restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails. Duke’s specializes in serving up Hawaiian inspired cuisine using locally sourced ingredients and freshly caught seafood. Should you wish to enjoy a refreshment by the water, poolside service is available. For coffee, sandwiches, and other grab-and-go items, including beach gear and souvenirs, visit the Whaler's General Store conveniently located in the Konea Tower lobby.

Should you feel like pampering yourself with a refreshing massage or treatment, head downstairs to the acclaimed Ho’ola Health Spa. This sanctuary within the resort weaves Hawaiian inspired themes and ingredients into its wide array of signature treatments. Revitalize your senses with a Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage, Pohaku Stone Treatment, or Coffee Fruit Facial, or experience the health benefits of the spa’s unique Himalayan Salt Room.

A state-of-the-art fitness center is located in the Konea Tower, perfect for guests looking to maintain their workout routine during their stay.

If you wish to avoid excessive baggage fees from the airlines, consider packing lighter and utilizing the washer and dryer in the residence. Free upgraded 300 Mbps high-speed Wi-Fi is available and included with your stay. Complimentary booster seats, high chairs, and futons are also available upon request (based on availability).

Honua Kai occupies 38 pristine beachfront acres on the shores of Kaanapali’s North Beach so you’ll literally be just steps away from the tranquility of Maui’s shoreline. Stroll out to the beach to touch your toes in the soft sand or take a refreshing dip in the Pacific. An “Ohana Play Package” including beach chairs, BBQ equipment, and a portable cooler is provided complimentary.

For added convenience, our free courtesy shuttle offers complimentary transportation between Honua Kai and several West Maui locations.

If during your stay you require assistance or advice about the surrounding area or the suite, rest assured that you’ll be swiftly taken care of with aloha by one of our friendly & knowledgeable liaisons - hand-picked from West Maui’s leading luxury hotels. Help will never be far away because our offices are ideally located directly across the street.

***Please note that lanai furniture has been recently upgraded and may look different than pictured.***

***Please note that Honua Kai is located in a hotel zoned area meant for tourism and is thus safe from Maui's pending short term rental ban affecting apartment zoned areas.***

Great Stay!

We just returned from a great stay at this lovely condo. The condo is immaculately maintained and tastefully furnished, and is incredibly well stocked by the owners--the kitchen has everything in addition to the mere basics, including olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a full spice rack, to insulated mugs, and all sizes of baggies. There is even a boogie board and beach bag for use during your stay. The area is great, and we would absolutely return on another trip to Maui!

We stayed at Bruno's little best kept secret for 4 nights and it was amazing! This condo has absolutely everything you need! so well equipped i wish i wouldn't have packed half the stuff i did. Great location, easy access to the beach. LOVED opening the lanai doors at night and listening to the ocean. Don't hesitate to book this outstanding condo! can't wait to come back next year! Thanks Bruno!

Best vacation rental! Exceeded expectations!

3rd time staying at Honua Kai. Twice used VRBO and once the hotel directly. VRBO has better rooms with superior location and views. I've seen all properties from Kapalua to Lahaina and Honua Kai is best for amenities and condition of condos. Way better grounds, kitchens, bathrooms and appliances. Most other ones are cramped or dated! This unit was fully loaded so generously equipped with more than you could ever ask or imagine!! A top chef would be more than satisfied with all the kitchen supplies! The view, the ambiance the beach the pool all super great! You won't find anything better!! Luxury at a reasonable price! Aloha enjoy!!!

Beautiful home in paradise!!!

Wow! Where do I begin!? My husband and I spent 5 nights in Bruno's studio at the Honua Kai. We were in heaven! The only thing we regret was not booking for more nights. The studio was very clean and fully stocked with everything we needed to cook (pots/pans/spices/tupperware/ziplock bags etc...) as well as head to the beach (chairs, cooler, beach towels). My favorite part was sitting out on the lanai and enjoying the full ocean view while drinking my morning coffee. The self-parking under the building was easy and convenient to come/go. We were glad that we purchased our own snorkels before the trip because you can snorkel immediately off the resort. We can't wait to come back!

Absolutely perfect!

We had a wonderful stay at Bruno’s condo at Honua Kai. The condo is very nice and clean, modern, well equipped. We saw several whale breaches while sitting out on the lanai! We appreciated the beach chairs, large beach bag, cooler, and the cart to haul everything back and forth to the car! The location is perfect. There’s many restaurants and shopping close by. The resort is very nice. This is newer and everything is well maintained. The property, pools, everything was fabulous. The resort employees were always smiling and friendly which is always a plus. What a beautiful place to come get away from our record low 0° temperatures! We are so sad to leave today!! Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. Bruno was great to work with, answering all of our questions and having plenty of information on where to go, what to see and places to eat. Thank you Bruno for sharing your condo with us. We can’t wait to come back! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Exceptional attention to detail with a great view

This was a smooth, comfortable experience from start to finish. Shortly after booking, we received a personal call from Bruno and he answered all of our questions about the property. The Maui Trip Planner that was sent prior to our arrival was full of valuable information. We saved an electronic copy, plus a printed copy was provided in the unit for us. We also appreciated having a copy of Maui Revealed in the condo. Things we loved: underground secure parking. Beach chairs, beach bag, and cooler. Stainless steel water bottles stayed cold in the car when filled with ice water. A wheeled cart for groceries. The coffee shop in the lobby. Breakfast on the lanai with an incredible view. High quality linens and beach towels. Well-stocked kitchen with new appliances. We happened to be there during an unusually rainy week for Maui but we were usually able to drive around the island and find decent weather. That's where the Maui trip planner really came in handy. Mahalo, Bruno and Ellen, for making this a fabulous vacation with a place to come "home" to at the end of each day. We would definitely repeat this stay.

Amazing stay!

We’ve been to Maui before and love to stay on the north end of Kaanapali. We wanted the resort feeling and this property was perfect! Being on the eighth floor in the corner was perfect! The view was amazing and we could also here to music from Dukes in the evening. Everything was great in the condo, so much so that we didn’t need to call or text them about anything but they checked in with us by email and maybe even text (I can’t remember) asking if there was anything we needed and making sure we were happy with everything. I really appreciated that! The condo was updated and had most everything you needed. They even had shampoos and soap in the shower. It was beautifully decorated and clean! Never saw a bug lol! In Hawaii there are bugs and that’s just the way it is for the humid climate but seriously there wasn’t any type of bug at all. They have 2 beach chairs and a cooler in the closet. We rented boogie boards from the Snorkel Store. They are awesome there! They send you daily reports of the conditions of the different beaches and they set you up with all you need. The staff at this property were all very helpful and kind as well. It was a great and well needed trip and everything went smooth and was perfect. The only thing I wished they had was a mirror on the wall somewhere outside the bathroom. That way I could get ready while the other person showers. But seriously that would be just a suggestion…everything was wonderful! We will definitely be back!

Amazing Studio and Property!

My wife and I just stayed at this lovely studio for 6 days as we celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. This was our first time renting through VRBO, so we were a little apprehensive being that we normally rent a hotel. I must say that Bruno was a top notch host. From our initial booking, to our departure, he was always ready and available to answer questions or address concerns. This studio is exactly how you imagine it in the pictures, and more. The ocean view is breath-taking and easily enjoyed because the glass doors open up the full length of the lanai. A few nights we left the glass doors open (there is also a full length screen to keep the bugs out) to hear the ocean waves throughout the night. Yes, the ocean is that close! Bruno has stocked the studio with everything you will need to make your vacation enjoyable: Boogie board, beach towels, sunscreen/sun tan lotion, grocery cart, dishes, binoculars to enjoy the ocean view, the list goes on! The studio is impeccably maintained and was fresh and clean when we arrived. The grounds are beautiful and have direct access to the beach. Good eating is within steps of the condo, namely Duke's famous restuarant, which provides causal breakfast and lunch, and also a nice dinner menu. There is also a spa, general store, and a lovely coffee shop within the resort. Self-parking is free (not far at all from the main entrance) AND valet is free too (tips of course though). If you are looking for luxury accommodations in Maui, that is centrally located to many major Maui excursions/dinning/shopping, look no further because this is the place! Bruno, and his property, have truly changed our perspective on renting a VRBO in lieu of a hotel. We will be back!
