Amazing stay! Location was super walkable and the beach right next to the condo is gorgeous. We loved listening to the waves every night. Little less privacy than expected since the bedroom ceiling opens up to the main room/loft area - but this didn’t matter at all to us. Would absolutely stay here again.
Our family loved staying at this properly. Beachfront property with easy access to beach and only a short distance away to any part of the island.

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.

Aloha! Thank you for your guest review! We are so happy that you had an overall positive experience! We appreciate all the feedback. This condo is still in process of renovation. We are currently waiting on the "Privacy Arbor" to be completed and installed over the Master bedroom. It will be finalized before the end of the month! It's a great alternative to a completely closed in room. It will give the privacy needed, still feel spacious, allow for nice air circulation through out and give guests a chance to enjoy those beautiful lofty windows, ceiling, sun, moon and stars!
The beach was absolutely great! we saw many turtles and the beach was never crowded. We loved it. Falling asleep every night to the waves which were less than 100 ft away!

Thank you for staying with us! We hope you had a safe flight home and left with many wonderful Maui memories! Hono Kai C1 does have the perfect views for watching whales during the months of December- mid-April and we're so glad you got to see them!
Beautiful 2-bedroom unit just steps away from the beach and centrally located and convenient for exploring Maui. Kihei, Wailuku and Makawao were all only 20 to 30 minutes away.

This townhome exceeded our expectations. The view was mesmerizing! The home had everything we needed and more. The host was very accommodating and responsive. The location was close to the Maui Ocean Center, the harbor where we boarded our snorkeling adventure and not too far from the airport, Road to Hana and Haleakalā Mountain! My only minor observations: there a few homeless people on the near by public beach, the outside of the townhouse complex is outdated, and the bedding needs more care and cleaning.
We absolutely loved our stay! The views are spectacular, and the location is very central and convenient! The beach right in front of the condo is small but a short walk to a larger beach practically next door. There were beach chairs, beach towels, and a cooler available for use and we had everything we needed! It is on the third floor and I don’t think there’s an elevator so it’s a bit of a hike with luggage but well worth it!
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

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.
