We loved everything about our stay! Everything was clean and the condo was well appointed. We were blown away by the amount of sea turtles in the cove. There are so many they sneak up on you! A little unsettling for my teens at first, but snorkeling with them was magical once they got used to them. The location was close to everything… we enjoyed a fabulous sunset dinner nearby at Merriman’s, snorkeled at Molikini Crater, explored the road to Hana and ended our trip w the most epic meal at Mamma’s Fish House. Four days was clearly not enough! We will be back and would gladly stay here again!!!

The recent remodel was very well done. The place was very clean. No bugs. Good beaches nearby and great snorkeling. Because there is no AC, you need to open the windows to stay cool, and the unit is on the road side of the complex next to the parking lot. It can get noisy at times, but in terms of value for the location, it is a good place.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the recent remodel, the cleanliness, and the fantastic snorkeling and nearby beaches—those are truly some of the best parts of staying here. We also appreciate your note about the natural ventilation and location. Many guests love the fresh ocean breezes, though we understand that it can come with a bit of ambient noise at times. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us—we’d love to welcome you back to Maui!

We had an amazing stay and the property was fantastic, the unit was nicer and better laid out than many others we saw. Check in and check out was easy. The condo community gathers in the afternoons/evenings. The snorkeling was out of this world. I have never seen so many turtles in a single snorkel (and multiple trips made each day). Would definitely return to this complex and this unit. We do wish there was a hot tub…

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear you loved the layout of the unit and found everything comfortable and easy during your stay. It’s great that you were able to enjoy the community atmosphere and, of course, the incredible snorkeling—seeing so many turtles really is something special! We appreciate the feedback about the hot tub as well. While the complex doesn’t currently offer one, we’ll certainly keep that in mind as we continue to look for ways to enhance the guest experience. We’d love to welcome you back anytime—thanks again for staying with us!

About the host

Hosted by Graham and Carrie Varnell

Host profile image
Aloha! We’re Graham and Carrie Varnell, lifelong Alaskans and the hosts of Honokeana Cove #217. We own a small family real estate and property management business in Anchorage and have three children, so we understand how meaningful time away with family and friends can be. We aim to provide clear communication, a thoughtfully prepared condo, and a comfortable, welcoming experience from booking through checkout. We’re grateful to share this special corner of Maui and hope you enjoy Honokeana Cove as much as our family does.

Why they chose this property

We chose Honokeana Cove for its peaceful, low-rise setting and close connection to the ocean. The cove offers exceptional snorkeling and frequent sightings of Hawaiian green sea turtles, while nearby Napili and Kapalua provide beautiful beaches, coastal trails, golf, shops, and excellent restaurants. We especially enjoy being able to slow down in a quiet oceanfront community while still having much of West Maui within easy reach.

What makes this property unique

Honokeana Cove #217 is a fully renovated upstairs corner condo with extra windows, an oversized lanai, and beautiful views overlooking the cove. Its flexible layout—two bedrooms on the main level plus a loft with three twin beds—works especially well for families and groups of up to seven.
Guests have direct cove access for snorkeling when conditions permit, along with a heated oceanfront pool and three waterside grills. The combination of thoughtful design, abundant natural light, and the relaxed atmosphere of a small oceanfront property makes Unit 217 especially memorable.
