Host was very helpful and accommodating. The room was well furnished and clean. The open glass panels to the lanai were amazing. The grounds were very well manicured.
We had an amazing stay! The property was gorgeous with easy access to the beautiful beach. The unit was very comfortable with nice furnishings. We enjoyed the lanai for morning coffee and evening drinks! Maureen was great to communicate with and very helpful our entire stay! We would love to stay again! No complaints:)
We had a great time staying at Maureen‘s place. She was a great communicator, and I knew I could reach her whenever necessary. The place was clean and the location couldn’t have been better. Having access to the beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards was very convenient. I was able to take a 4 mile walk up and down the Ka’anapali beach walk several days during our stay. I highly recommend this location for a party of two.
Our hosts were excellent and did way more for our comfort than many VRBO host do from the immaculate studio to the beach to the visited recommended sights and activities and food to the Aloha spirit. This is a top rated place!
Just amazing! Beautiful location, beautiful condo and amenities. The host was responsive, kind, accommodating and had lovely little welcome basket and personal touches. The resort was beautiful, snorkeling just off the beach was great. Pool and overall stay amazing. Would not have changed a thing, except stayed longer if we could have.
Condo was very clean and perfect location. Located in a resort so have access to pools and beach right out front. Maureen was super helpful and easy to contact with any questions. Would highly recommend this place
This place is special and we'd definitely come back. It's clean, well equipped, has a great view, and is in a wonderful location. The owners are proactive and great communicators. It's a studio and yet felt plenty spacious It's obvious they want their guests to have a great time and we did.
The property is exactly as advertised. Beautiful place and a little quieter than some of the other big resorts, which we liked. Maureen is a wonderful host who left us treats for our anniversary and checked in via text a couple of times just to make sure everything was as it should be. We would definitely recommend this spot and would stay here again!
We were delighted with the accommodations and amenities and had terrific instructions and suggestions from our lovely host Maureen throughout our stay. The condo was spacious and clean and the kitchen fully stocked, not that we did a lot of cooking. The on property amenities such as the workout facility and on site restaurant were terrific and the staff at the valet could not have been kinder or more helpful. We highly recommend!
I could not have asked for a better place to stay in Maui, even tho we were there during the wild fires the resort handled everything with ease and helps us stay calm. The owners of this vrbo go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and are extremely kind!!
The location was amazing! Maureen did a fantastic job communicating instructions, as well as leaving a binder full of dining and activities! The condo is beautiful. We will for sure be back!
This villa was just what we needed to relax and enjoy our stay on Maui. Property owner was great to deal with, villa was beautiful and extremely clean and well stocked, lanai was spacious and the view of the courtyard and ocean was gorgeous. Loved the extras such as beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, cooler. Comfy beds and pillows and the resort is top notch and located within walking distance to the boardwalk, food carts & stores. Would highly recommend!
This was an awesome unit! Maureen & Robert were great, and really made sure that our stay was just perfect! The unit was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials, which was so nice. We had a great time, and will definitely be renting from them again in the future!
This was a beautiful unit, exactly as described in the listing. Owners were very responsive and lovely to work with. Many nice extra touches, welcome basket, beach chairs and umbrellas etc.
We will happily stay here again in the future!
Thank you!
We truly loved staying in Rob and Maureen’s property. The location and the unit was perfect for my husband, myself and our 2 year old. The unit was equipped with everything you need. Instructions were very clear and communication was excellent. We would love to stay here again!
My favorite was Maureen’s black binder of instructions and recommendations! Everything was very thoughtful
Thank you Maureen and Rob!
We had a wonderful time staying in this condo. Everything available for our use by the hosts. Very clean and beautiful view! Communication was awesome. Hated to leave! Hope to be back again soon! Thank you to our hosts! ♥
The Host! Very knowledgeable and responsive, even on things that outside her area, like ground transportation, dining and entertainment! She's great! The unit was immaculate, convenient to the pools and the beach. The grounds are beautiful. Everything is well maintained. BBQs were clean, not over crowded, and worked first try! The unit is central to grocery shopping! We are in most nights. Breakfast and Dinner on the lanai was one of our favorite parts of the trip. The views are stunning. We enjoyed everything about this experience!
We stayed at this condo last month for our anniversary vacation. It was exactly as advertised. This condo is beautiful, clean and well-appointed. It was perfect for a couple. We had plenty of room for our belongings. We loved spending lazy mornings having coffee on the Lanai. The view from there is beautiful. We loved the resort and all the amenities. Maureen was so great at communicating with us before and during the trip. She checked in with us after we checked in to see if we needed anything. She has a great album in the condo with information about restaurants, tours and activities on the island. I highly recommend renting this unit. You won’t be disappointed. The only bad part was leaving after 10 days!
Amazing stay at the Honua Kai in Maui.
We are frequent visitors of Maui but typically stay at the Ritz Carlton Kapalua. This time, we decided to try a condo property because we had family meeting us in Maui. This property did not disappoint. From the moment I booked the condo, the owners were magnificent. Their attention to detail, the description and pictures of the property were exactly as described on VRBO and the property was extra clean.
The owners were on top of every detail and the condo had everything and more we needed for our stay. I have stayed at many VRBO properties in the past, but have never experienced this type of five-star customer service from other properties and owners. As an example, my husband left his wedding ring on the counter and we didn't realize it until we were at the airport. Maureen and Rob were right on top of it. They called their cleaning team, the ring was recovered and they spent hours ensuring the ring arrived safely to our home.
If you are looking for a great condo on this side of the island, book it! You will enjoy the beautiful property, the beach, the pool, the restaurant and the view from your room. Highly recommend!
After traveling to Maui in the spring with our family, we took a trip without the kids and found this condo online. It was exactly what we were looking for! The hosts/owners were great to work with, the property is new, clean, easy to navigate and along the beach path, which gives easy access to all of Kaanapali!
