Fantastic week

I’m not really one to review properties much but just wanted to put in a good word for this place. We had a fantastic stay here. Beds were comfortable (even sofa bed!), and the unit was clean and well located. A special shout out for the quality beach equipment. We have found that many times because it’s a rental, things like boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas are low quality and/or pretty beaten up. Not here! Really great quality stuff that we used every day. I really don’t have anything bad to say—even when we had a small hiccup with down internet, owner and his staff were incredibly responsive and got it fixed ASAP. We hope to be back!

Amazing Family Vacation

Dan is so communicative, gives great information ahead of time so you are ready for your stay. Check in was easy, the rental had all needed plates, pans, utensils, etc. Loved that one of the bedrooms had no window was perfect option for multiple kids. The bunk bed was large likely full or queen sized. Ground floor was IDEAL for small kids, quick pool access and so close to Dukes. We will be back & definitely would love to rent this unit again.

Great experience

We are family of four with 2 young kids. This condo was perfect for us. It was near the pool and beach was 2 min walk from it. It’s on the ground floor. The property manager was very nice and quick in responding to the messages. Only thing I recommend to the onwer is to have another mirror in the condo. The only mirror is in the bathroom. If you are more than 2 adults, you will need to wait for your turn to get ready. Otherwise, this place is amazing. would definitely stay here again.

Great Family Spot in Maui

This is a great place for a family with 2 young kids! Our 4-year-old and 7-year-old loved the bunk beds, and the kids room has no windows, which was great for the jet lag. The place has plenty of storage and all the supplies you could need for a week-long stay. The ground floor location is great and convenient, with a short walk to the pool and beach. The resort is beautiful and great for kids, with 3 pools and a great waterslide, a swim-through cave, and a splash pad. The only complaint we had was that the back door was kind of beat up and finicky, so we didn't use it for access in and out of the unit, but that wasn't a big deal. I would absolutely come back here for a future trip!

Perfect unit at Honua Kai!

We’ve stayed at Honua Kai a few times and this was by far our best experience! The unit was very nice and well kept. The perfect size for our family of 5. Being on the ground floor with kids is so much easier. Communication before our arrival and during our stay was the best I’ve ever experienced with a short term rental. We hope we’ll be lucky enough to stay here again!

Nice, but needs some attention

The unit is well situated, a bit away from the pools, with the outside/ground floor a big bonus. Our biggest "complaint" is that the second bedroom is adjacent to the elevator and hallway/exterior doors. During our stay the "soft close" mechanism on the doors broke twice resulting in slamming doors (fairly promptly repaired, but very loud and at night sleep disturbing). Our other observation is that a number of the appliances are tired (dryer door has to be tapped shut with duct tape, toaster cord was frayed and gave mild shock when touched - management promptly taped up, AC filters were visibly dirty, and a few other minor things). The unit isn't really decorated and the kitchen is a bit under stocked. Attention to the slamming doors and these several minor issues would make this an ideal unit.

Great Ground Floor Location

Honua Kai is a beautiful and fun property and this was our second stay for 7 nights. Our family (2 adults, 2 kids) loved the convenience of this unit's ground floor location. It provided easy access to the middle of the pool area and the beach beyond. The bunk beds were perfect for our 2 kids. The unit was spacious and tidy. We used the provided beach chairs, boogie boards, and cooler daily. Dukes was very convenient for drinks around the pool during the day and we had sunset dinners there to start and end our trip. We'll be back!

Best Place to Stay in Maui

Property was absolutely gorgeous. I loved that it was ground floor and only had to use the elevator to get to the parking garage. I wish the bunk beds were not so noisy and that every time you moved it didn't shake everything. I wish there had been more pillows, we used the cushions/pillows from the chairs. BUT, these are tiny little items and I would recommend this property 1000 times over to anyone and everyone and if it were just my husband and I we would stay there 1000 times over, but with two adults and two teenagers - sharing one bath was more challenging that I thought - LOL. But, this has nothing to do with the property, this is solely on our family. Anyway, loved, loved, loved the property. Best place in Maui to stay. Price and location and amenities were phenomenal. LOVED EVERY MINUTE!!!

Beautiful condo and great location

We really enjoyed our time at the property. With 2 kids under 4 we loved the ground floor location to allow them to safely play. The 2nd bedroom doesn’t have windows which actually is a blessing for jet lagged kids. The resort itself is our second time and really like the place. Great location, nice walking path and of course we love duke’s. Some of the best beaches in the world are only 10 minutes away. Dan was extremely responsive with the few questions we had. The checkin process was a bit rocky with not being clear there were 2 different lobby towers, giant lines, uninformed staff directing us in the wrong direction to the unit, and only 1 wrist band for the entire family which made it a bit hard at times but all worked out and had a wonderful week. This is not the fault of Dan but the resort itself. We would return!

Lovely place to stay in Maui

We really enjoyed staying at this place and were very appreciative of the hospitality and little things like the beach chairs, cooler, and boogie boards. That was very nice to have! The check in process was very easy and we had nearly everything we needed for the property. I think the only two things that stood out that we didn’t like were 1) there was no coffee. There was a machine to make it but we were not supplied with any coffee at all and I found that unusual bc even at a hotel, you would get coffee for the machine. So my husband ended up having to buy it himself to make in the coffee maker but then he didn’t have the sugar and such to go into it. So I would say, it would have been nice to have those basics bc they would have been available at a hotel or any condo we’ve stayed at in the past. He debated brining the coffee left over back home but I told him to leave it in the condo bc I’m sure the next families will appreciate having it there. He agreed. 2) the construction and closed pools - I know the owner didn’t have any control over these things at all but I was pretty unhappy to see that they still had construction going on to the degree that we couldn’t even use the sidewalk near us at all and the two of the four pools were closed. Other than those minor things, we absolutely had a magnificent stay and loved our whole experience in Maui!! Dan is a wonderful host and his on-site manager did check in on us twice during our stay which was also appreciated.

Great family spot

We really enjoyed our stay. On past trips we usually choose a unit with a view, but it was so nice and convenient to be on the ground floor. The kids could just run out to the huge grassy lawn and play catch or with other kids. Also was quick easy access to the pools and beach. The unit was well stocked with kitchen supplies, laundry soap, etc. Comfortable beds. Kids loved the bunk beds. Excellent communication with owner. Thank you! Hope we are back soon.
