Beautiful place in a great location with a fantastic view. Perfect for watching the sunset. No direct beach access though, but you can jump in from the steps. Sandy beaches are a short walk in either direction.

We enjoyed our stay at Wendy’s place and appreciated the great location and overall comfort of the space. The unit itself is well laid out and has everything you need for a relaxing stay, and Wendy was responsive and communicative overall.There were a few housekeeping issues at check-in that took a bit of time to sort out, but Wendy was attentive once we connected and worked to address them. Overall, it’s a solid place to stay, and with a bit more attention to cleaning between guests, it would be an even better experience.Thanks again, Wendy — we appreciate the hospitality.

Maui ocean front

We have stayed at the Hale Ono Loa before, so we knew what fantastic ocean views were in store for us. We spent alot of time on the lanai, watching the turtles come and go. We had a fantastic time and would recommend this condo to families, couples and anyone into water sports.

The best for location, view and comfort of guests.

Property was ocean view location with all the needs for our group (4 adults). Saw whales from the lanai early one morning. It met all our needs for relaxing and preparing for each day’s adventure. Host was top notch and everything went well. Five stars is not enough! Will visit again next time in Maui!

Absolutely Gorgeous

This property was everything we expected and more! The home is clean and beautifully decorated. The lanai is lovely and the views amazing. The lanai feels like the balcony of a cruise ship with the ocean right beneath you. We enjoyed watching the sea turtles from the lanai and then swimming with them. It was a wonderful stay and we can’t wait to return. Would most definitely stay in this property again!

Quiet Paradise

Our stay at HonuHouse was absolutely amazing. We loved our stay right on the water. Falling asleep to waves crashing right out the door was so peaceful. We arrived on Maui after spending a few days on Oahu and it was like going from the city to the country. We had busy and active to quiet and peaceful. We are grateful that we were able to stay in your piece of paradise.

Location Location Location!

I discovered this building several years ago. This unit is situated directly on the shore line with unobstructed views to watch the sunsets, the turtles eat from the reef directly below, and the whales play not too far in the distance. The condo offers everything you need to make home cooked meals and is essentially a home away from home while you listen to the waves rock you to sleep with an ocean breeze to cool down.

Fantastic Views

Unit was a bit dated, but very clean and comfortable. The unit could not have been closer to the water! Listening to the waves while watching sunset and sunrise and while falling asleep was wonderful. We loved the amazing views and thoroughly enjoyed watching all the sea turtles while sitting on the deck.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Hibbs

Host profile image
My husband and I bought our first unit in 2009. We love the location and the fact the complex is small and quiet. We decided to buy a second unit to rent out and have had such great luck that we decided when the 2 bedroom came available we had to have it. We wanted right on the ocean and you can't get any closer than this unit! We were both born raised in Salida, Colorado and have ran our crane business since 2000.

Why they chose this property

Hale Ono Loa is a very wonderful place. It is small, quiet and very well maintained. You couldn't ask to be any closer to the ocean. It always has turtles out front of the condo and during whale season you can watch the whales. It is a very unique place.

What makes this property unique

This condo is literally over looking the water! It has an amazing, unobstructed view of the ocean, Lanai and Molokai. You can look down into the water and watch the sea turtles daily and during whale season watch the whales breaching. You have the constant sound of the waves that makes it so relaxing! This is truly the closest you can get to the ocean.
