In a brief 13 min walk (0.7 mi) via Hauoli St, you can enjoy the Maalaea Harbor, the Maalaea Harbor shops, Maui’s Ocean Center Aquarium, the Maui Golf and Sports Park, and much more.

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.

Best location
Best sandy beach for swimming. Always calm water. Very private, long stretch of preserve beach for walking. A small reef off shore guarantees seeing fish and turtles when snorkeling. Condo has an amazing view! Ideal location

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.

Had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation.
Condo was as described online. We were very comfortable and had everything thing we needed. Beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, toys, etc. Lots of TV options for nights. Beach and pool were right outside. Location was perfect, we could walk to the marina for dining, shopping, excursions and the aquarium. King bed was super comfy. Great location, clean, comfortable! I would definitely recommend.

This was a great rental, location was perfect! If you like to snorkel bring your gear,!
We had a wonderful stay here, if you’d like to snorkel bring your snorkeling masks lots of coral, fish and turtles to see water was absolutely clear. We had an issue with the ceiling fan in the upstairs loft not working call the maintenance people and they came and fixed it the same day. Unit was clean comfortable and beautiful to stay in. Highly recommend this rental! Do not pass this one up!

Great vacation
Great place. Beautiful views of the bay. Watched whales from the lanai. Nice central location and near harbor for Molikini crater excursion that we did. (Would rec the Four Winds II for this, btw and definitely do Snuba). The AC unit is a little “tired” but often opened the windows and used fans to stay cool. The on-site manager is a stickler for the parking, so make sure you have your tag hanging at all times. Be prepared to drive to get restaurants and there is really nothing g great nearby but makes it a quiet spot. Overall nice place and would stay again.

Excellent condo private and inviting
This condo is perfect! Open air space so yes you will hear everything but we loved that big open feeling. One kid slept in the loft and the other slept on the sofa bed (super comfortable). We felt as if we were sleeping on the beach! Home is just as described. As other ratings state The resort is not fancy, but it is nice. If you’re looking to be away from the crowds (like we were) and have a beach all to yourself then this is your spot. Very convenient to north and south destinations to visit. Condo is perfection! The view is amazing! Supplied items got us through our stay. Mahalo!!!

10 days over the Christmas Break
We stayed for 10 days over the Christmas break and loved this property. It was perfect for a family of four with enough room that everyone was comfortable. The condo is well stocked and very clean. There are beach chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler and beach toys in the condo which was fabulous. The location was excellent with a great beach that was never crowded. Turtles came in most days and we were able to snorkel out to see them. My only complaints are that I had a hard time collecting quarters for the washer/dryer and it would be nice to have in condo laundry (although the laundry room is directly across the hall) and the ac unit was quite loud. Other than those minor complaints we were very happy here!
