From check-in to check-out, our stay was perfect and seamless. We were a family of six (4 adults, 2 small children) and found the condo well stocked with necessities and the shared lanai was amazing. We have stayed at Honua Kai several times in the past and found this condo to be exceptional. We shopped at Times grocery store which is within walking distance, dined at Dukes frequently and loved that the beach is so close. The beach chairs in the condo were greatly appreciated. We would definitely stay here again and experienced a memorable and fantastic stay.
The property's location was fantastic; it had easy electronic access, and the property management company was excellent. However, the actual unit showed some wear and the furniture was quite uncomfortable. The master shower was challenging to use because the door opens inward, making it nearly impossible to easily turn on the shower and enter the space. Additionally, the kitchen sink made a gurgling sound, and the second toilet ran periodically on its own.On a positive note, the beds and pillows were outstanding and very comfortable. Another advantage was the beach gear and the starter items provided for the kitchen, laundry, and showers. And electronic beach towel access was great!The lighting throughout the unit was dim, and the television package was heavily focused on sports.We encountered a problem when the refrigerator broke down, which forced us to rely on coolers, ice, and a temporary refrigerator. Unfortunately, we received a new one just the day before our departure. While we appreciated the credit we received, we did not receive compensation for the food that spoiled.After leaving the property, we received an email with checkout information, which left us unsure whether we had completed everything on the list.Overall, this property was very clean, although it did show some signs of wear. Despite the refrigerator issues, which the property management addressed promptly, we had a fantastic time.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. Traveled there with my husband, two young kids, and our au pair. We had everything we needed to cook some meals, the location was great, and the place was clean and easy to access! Will definitely stay here again in the future!
We had a fantastic stay! The condo was exactly as pictured, and the two king beds made it feel like having two master suitesâso comfortable and spacious. The location was perfect, with a great restaurant onsite, easy access to pools and the beach, and included parking. We also loved that there was a food truck park and a grocery store within walking distance. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful, making the whole experience seamless. Highly recommend!
Just as it was pictured. We could see whales from our Lanai. You wouldn't know that it's a shared lanai! We loved it. Parking was great in covered garage.
We had the most wonderful time. The condo was incredible! Super clean and exactly what we were hoping for. The views from the lanai were spectacular and we spent many mornings enjoying the view as we ate breakfast, and many nights watching the skyline as the sun set. The staff was great! Responding quickly to all of our needs and questions. Couldnât have been more helpful. We will most definitely return and will stay here again.
Sure! Hereâs a kind and thoughtful review for the vacation rental:A Perfect Hawaiian Getaway!Our stay at this beautiful ground-level vacation rental was absolutely wonderful! The unit was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The two bedrooms provided plenty of space, and the kitchen had all the essentials for preparing meals, which was a great bonus.One of the highlights was the large lanai patioâit became our favorite spot to enjoy morning coffee and relax in the evenings, surrounded by the peaceful Hawaiian breeze. The location was perfect, offering easy access to the beach, local shops, and dining options.Highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Maui!
First time to Maui and this property was amazing. We visited with another couple and the condo was perfect for us. Beds are comfortable, as is all the furniture. Nicely decorated and the lanai was perfect. Quick walk to the beach and pools. Duke's has great food and the bar staff was excellent. We had a massage at the spa and again, great staff and services. Super easy check-in and out. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
We absolutely loved our stay. We were nervous about the shared Lanai but it absolutely is not an issue. Just gives you so much extra space. Family of 5 stayed comfortably and are already planning to book again in the future. Dayna at Epic was so helpful extending our stay and bringing us a new cooler when the one in the room was broken. Thank you for a great family vacation!
Great space. We had enough room to lounge both inside and outside on the wrap around balcony. The little extras made the difference, when we went off to explore. Chairs, cooler, umbrella, and a skim board...
This was an incredible condo for two couples or a family. Lovely living area that opened into a very large outdoor patio. Great for outdoor dinners and hanging out. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
We enjoyed bonus maintain and this unit was great. The huge lanai is the best part. Having the longer chairs and high table to watch the sunset was great.
Great property! Even better than expected from the listing! Amazing sunsets and beautiful landscaping. Being able to get drinks and food from Dukes was a big plus. We had an issue with our washing machine and property manager was very attentive and it was fixed promptly. We would absolutely go back!!
We were very happy with the space and amenities offered at this property! We were a bit apprehensive about the "shared lanai," but while it may not offer the privacy other units might have, it worked well for us. If you don't like soft beds, this might not be the place for you. Probably the softest bed I've ever slept on. Loved the folding doors to open up to the lanai! Also, great privacy inside with bedrooms on opposite ends of unit with very few shared walls.
Loved everything about this condo! It was just as beautiful as the photos looked online. The beds were incredibly comfortable!!! Had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook with! Would highly recommend!
The property and condo were great. Spacious living areas and bedrooms. Stocked with all the essentials for a week at the beach. Pool and amenities were fantastic, particularly for families with you kids. The huge terrace was a fantastic place for morning coffee or dinner. Would definitely recommend.
We absolutely LOVED our stay here! This truly is a hidden gem and my family and I enjoyed every minute of our stay. From the spacious room to the unbelievably gorgeous views. Highly recommend and we definitely plan on booking our next stay here again. The only tiny thing we noticed was the dryer took several cycles to dry clothes completely but far from a deal breaker.

This room is wonderful. The resort is amazing, everything within walking distance and convenient. The room is clean and comfortable. We loved the short walk to beach,pools and coffee.
The beach chairs and other items were great to have.
Communication was fast when issues arised (minor fixes) & the maintenance team was quick and friendly.
If I had anything bad to say it would be the cost of eating out. Very expensive at the resort, Iâd recommend a Costco trip before arrival. We did find some good eateries plus food trucks close by though. I would highly recommend this unit and would definitely stay here again!
We stayed in Honua Kai 215 the first week of June. We've stayed at countles VRBO rentals over the years and this is one of just a few that exceeded the description and pictures on the listing. Both the resort and the unit exceeded our expectations. We would stay here again without second thought. Our kids loved the pool and snorkeling from the beach on the property.
A couple points to note:
1) Having read some of the other less positive reviews I was a little anxious about the painting project on the property, and the shared lanai. However, neither was an issue. Other than the equipment in the courtyard it was barely noticeable. I wouldn't be surprised if the work on the Hokulani tower is done by now. It seemed very close when we were there and was isolated to the front of the tower nearest the pool. We did not have issues with workers using the shared lanai for our unit and never had issue with any other guest attempting to use the space. The shared lanai is no less private than sitting on one of the private lanais separated by a glass wall and 15 ft of open space, in my opinion.
2) The wifi name and password was different than what was shared in our check-in information. The current name and password can be found on the back of the router next to the TV in the living room. Had I not recently updated the equipment for our own Internet service at home I might not have known where to look.
All in all we had an amazing time and hope to return again sometime in the future!
