The oceanfront pool is located just a wall away from the glistening waters of the Hawaiian ocean. Enjoy watching turtles and sealife playing in the waves, including whales, depending on the season (December- mid-April) while sitting or swimming at the pool or grilling at the community BBQ station. There are several lounge chairs and a public wash-off station just outside the pool for use at your convenience before residing back in your Maui hale (home). Each floor is fitted with laundry facilities offering 2 quarter-operated washers and 2 dryers. Please NOTE there is NO elevator access. The trash and recycling bins are located in a walled area in the northwest corner of the parking lot (roadside).

Ma’alaea Area:

For an epic adventure away, guests will appreciate Hono Kai’s close proximity to the Maalaea Boat Harbor (0.7 mi, about a 13-minute walk or 3-minute drive) offering several ocean excursions with world-famous sailing, snorkeling, sportfishing, and whale watching. Book an adventure today with local companies, such as Pacific Whale Foundation, Calypso, Trilogy Excursions, and Strike Zone! For a pleasant day out on the town, visit the nearby village of Ma’alaea where you will find the popular Maui Ocean Center, Maui Golf and Sports Park, an assortment of dining options ranging from coffee in the morning to local farm-to-table dinners in the evening, and a variety of great island shops.

Central location with amazing views

We absolutely loved our stay! The views are spectacular, and the location is very central and convenient! The beach right in front of the condo is small but a short walk to a larger beach practically next door. There were beach chairs, beach towels, and a cooler available for use and we had everything we needed! It is on the third floor and I don’t think there’s an elevator so it’s a bit of a hike with luggage but well worth it!

Great View, Great Location. Comfy

Everything you need in a stay and the view was awesome. Don't believe the reviews regarding visibility from upstairs bedroom into lower. We knew it was more of a modern open air place. Noise will travel up/down... so if someone is making a lot of noise... snoring ;-) you may not like it. We knew that going in so no problem. Free parking, rice maker, coffee grinder, fully equipped kitchen. We'd stay here again.

Beautiful Space

The condo was modern and well appointed with the most amazing view from the balcony. Why pay for whale watching when you have an amazing front row seat. Easy to get to lots of different activities or just spend time at the beautiful beach only steps away. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Excellent amenities/location/interiors for the price

We stayed here for 4 nights and had very comfortable stay. Its right on the beach and we could see whales from the patio in Feb first week ... The interiors are upgraded and very comfortable, though keep in mind the rooms lack privacy since they are open.

perfect oceanfront

Pretty amazing place. The listing pictures don't disappoint - you are literally on the ocean. There is so much beach to walk right outside your door, so much reef for snorkeling. Four huge turtles were hanging out just feet into the water directly outside for the duration of our stay. Simply amazing - would absolutely stay again.

Great property with amazing view

From start to finish I was exceedingly pleased with the communication process from the host. The experience was first class. The property is in very good shape and the view of the ocean is as advertised (amazing). Nice casual dinning restaurants a few minute walk down the street and convenient quiet location that allows you to get anywhere on the island in your rental car.
