About this property
Honua Kai Ground Floor huge yard ~ Konea 142 ~1 minute walk to Pools/Beach/BBQs!
Aloha. After the devastating Lahaina fire, and with deep respect to the families and businesses that were affected, west Maui is welcoming guests back. By staying here and patronizing local businesses, you will be putting locals back to work and providing an important source of tax revenue for the state of Hawaii and the county of Maui. Your host Clever Trevor stayed in this unit several times in late 2023 and 2024 and made it a point to dine out and tip well. Clever Trevor was thanked for providing that vital economic support. In May of 2024 Maui's Mayor proposed phasing out certain vacation rentals in apartment zones beginning in July 2025 to hopefully covert some of those properties to long term rentals - if it happens it WILL NOT affect this unit at Honua Kai which is zoned Hotel. Mahalo for your support.
This is KONEA 142, the KING of the GROUND FLOOR 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo-tel luxury homes at the Honua Kai Resort & Spa on Ka'anapali Beach Maui. Aloha. I am Clever Trevor Alt and I proudly own and manage this property.
LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! This private oasis is located on the GROUND FLOOR of the private NORTH side of Honua Kai - you don't face other units. KONEA 142 is the ONLY northwest facing ground floor 2 bedroom 2 bath condominium home on the north side of the Konea building. This is the quietest and most private part of Honua Kai - but it has the EASIEST ACCESS to all resort amenities. You can come and go securely from the back door facing the yard or the front door to the hallway.
VIDEO TOURS: See the 2014 video tour of my unit and the nearby pool, and the 2018 Matterport tour of the unit. After the video was made the living room TV was upgraded to a 65 inch 4k Samsung hung on the wall. In early 2023 more upgrades were made (see pictures):
1) New sleeper couch.
2) New side chairs.
3) 3 new beautiful koa wood Minke fans with lights installed in the bedrooms and living room.
4) New luxury vinyl plank flooring replaced the carpet.
5) New dining chairs.
6) New barstools.
7) New beds.
8) New decorations.
FREE EXTRAS:
1) 65 inch 4k UHD Samsung Smart TV in living room + TVs in each bedroom.
2) Fast, free WIFI - 300 MB lightning fast fiber optic internet service!
3) A comfortable lounge chair for sunbathing on your own private lawn while keeping an eye on your kiddos!
4) Luxurious adjustable shower heads.
5) Amazon Alexa Echo. Voice activated. Ask Alexa for anything such as news, weather, or to play music.
6) Sonos beam soundbar hooked up to living room TV, can play music too.
7) Secure access to the unit from either the front or back doors.
Enjoy the open spacious feeling with 11 foot vaulted ceilings ~ only on the GROUND FLOOR ~ and 1,230 square feet of interior living space. You get 2 master suites divided by an open living and dining room and kitchen floor plan. Nano Glass doors OPEN THE ENTIRE WALL to a HUGE lanai with outdoor dining and lounging furniture, bordering your own private lawn and garden area. You get 420 MORE SQUARE FEET of furnished outdoor living space! We are a short 1 minute walk to the pools, Viking barbecue grill area, Duke's Restaurant and Bar, and the beach and Pacific Ocean. I've installed a KEYED lock on the lanai door for secure access. Super close to Whaler's general store, gym, spa & parking.
Due to our unique location on the north end of the resort, you'll enjoy ultimate privacy and a secure back door entrance that is all yours. Our front door is very close to the door to the interior courtyard. You reach all of the attractions of this gorgeous resort MUCH FASTER than if you stayed above the ground floor - no waiting for an elevator!
Our GROUND FLOOR location is so CONVENIENT for hanging out at the pools or beach to pop into your own condominium to use the bathroom, freshen your drinks, have a snack, or grab the provided beach chairs, cooler, life jacket for your child, etc! Our guests prefer the PRIVACY of our "exterior" northwest facing lanai over the condos across the hall from us - their lanais face the interior courtyard which gives other condos across the courtyard a view into their units.
Konea 142 offers all the conveniences of a luxurious home and all the amenities of a world class resort and spa. Honua Kai occupies 38 pristine beachfront acres on the shores of Ka'anapali Beach so you’ll literally be just steps away from the tranquility of Maui’s shoreline. 3 naturally landscaped pools, 5 hot tubs, 12 Viking gas BBQs, Duke's restaurant and the Whaler coffee bar / convenience store. Enjoy walks or runs down the boardwalk, past Black Rock with its famous cliff jumping and snorkeling (1.4 miles from Honua Kai), down to Whaler’s Village with all its shops and restaurants.
Come experience my Aloha and pride of ownership! I am the owner and I go out of my way to add value so you will return and refer your friends.

There are many choices at Honua Kai. It is CRUCIAL for you to know EXACTLY what condo you are booking. Be absolutely sure you have A SPECIFIC CONDO NUMBER shown on a RESORT MAP (as seen in my pictures). Be certain that you see photos of THE EXACT condo you are booking. THESE PHOTOS ARE OF MY CONDO - KONEA 142. My condo has the most convenient ground floor location on the private north side of the Konea building and offers the best VALUE and best OVERALL EXPERIENCE available at Honua Kai. Don't just take it from Clever Trevor, check the reviews!
I highly recommend considering purchasing a trip cancellation insurance policy and consider adding a cancel for any reason rider. See squaremouth dot com. Surprisingly affordable.
If you're renting a vehicle (which I recommend), I have an acquaintance who privately rents a fleet of late model Honda Pilots and convertible Jeep Commanders for less than you'd pay one of the vendors at the airport and they deliver so you don't wait around. I also provide all my guests with 5 pages of recommendations for Maui dining and activities gleaned from about 50 visits over the last decade. Our local knowledge and pro tips are part of what you're paying for and I appreciate the opportunity to add value to your vacation experience by answering questions and making recommendations.
Note: I am not always able to accept a booking even when dates appear available. Please ask.
Mahalo!

About the host
Hosted by Trevor Alt

My name is Trevor Alt. A work injury forced my retirement from a 19 career as a firefighter for the Reno Fire Department, after 10 years as a California attorney. It was a challenging but fulfilling career switch and it convinced me that there is nothing better for my soul than serving and protecting humanity. I am a fitness and health nut and I exercise religiously. I enjoy cycling, weightlifting, and skiing, and I'm trying to surf a little.
When I was a young attorney, I starting saving as much as I could and since then I have invested with the goal of living in Hawaii someday. Purchasing this property at the incredible Honua Kai Resort was a big step toward achieving that goal.
I'm now spending several months per year on Maui and now that I'm an empty nester I'm reviving my golf game. I've got good local knowledge regarding Maui golf courses, so please ask. I provide all my guests with 5 pages of recommendations for things to do and places to dine on Maui, and ways to save money and get great value based on all my great experiences on the island, and I don't mind sharing them even if you don't book my ground floor home. I will continue my success as a vacation rental owner and manager by exceeding my guests' expectations and delivering a superb luxury vacation experience every time! See my guest reviews.
This is a legal, licensed vacation rental home. I pay my team well and you'll see that I've spared no expense on the furnishings and toys when you visit. For example, over the winter of 2022/2023 I hired designers and updated the furniture, flooring, and fans and personally spent several days deep cleaning and touching up paint. Come experience my pride and joy!

Why they chose this property
I've been visiting West Maui all my life and the Honua Kai Resort & Spa is the most luxurious resort ever built here. When this ideal ground floor property became available in 2014 I pounced! I love Duke's Restaurant and the HUGE aquatic playground with its 3 themed pool complexes. I love the grand luxury of the Honua Kai Resort and Spa - I feel like a KING when I come here!
I chose this GROUND FLOOR unit on the north side of the Konea tower at the Honua Kai resort because it is quiet and peaceful here yet it's the most convenient to all resort amenities. We don't look across a courtyard into someone else's unit (like the inner courtyard units). I believe that my combination of ground floor convenience, HUGE indoor and outdoor living area, and private location in the resort offers the best experience and the best value available at Honua Kai, which is the best resort in West Maui, which is the best part of the best Hawaiian island. Maui No Ka Oi! I always try to get a lot for my money and I know my guests want value too - here it is!
Maui voted best place to visit in U.S 22 years in a row!
Maui was named the best place to visit in the U.S. according to U.S. News & World Report rankings. "Maui is not nearly as large as the Big Island, nor is it as small as Lanai, as bustling as Oahu or as quiet as Kauai,' the news release said. 'For many Hawaii vacationers, Maui is just right - offering a taste of just about everything the Aloha State has to offer, from impressive wildlife to intriguing history and culture. While on a visit here, you can shimmy alongside professional hula dancers, golf along coastal fairways, snorkel alongside five different types of sea turtles or simply lounge along some of Hawaii's most notable beaches." Maui has repeatedly topped Conde Nast's list of Best Islands in the U.S and the top destination in the world as voted by travelers.

What makes this property unique
My favorite aspect of our second home at Honua Kai is the extra space and convenience on the GROUND FLOOR! I've installed a keyed lock for the back doors for secure back door access. Everything is so close and easy to get to from our condo. It's great that our back door is a ONE MINUTE walk to the Viking BBQs, so unlike upper floor guests who need the elevator, our food arrives hot at our dining table.
My favorite features of the condominium itself is the custom glass Nano doors that allow you to open the entire wall and seamlessly integrate the tropical outdoors into our vacation home. I also love the vaulted ceilings that you only get on the ground floor. It feels so roomy! The new beautiful Minke fans installed December 2022 move more air than the ones they replaced and provide better lighting too.
A beach-side boardwalk accommodates walkers and joggers for miles of spectacular ocean views. The sun sets between the nearby islands of Lanai and Molokai. It's a mile and a half walk south from Honua Kai to Black Rock, and under two miles from Honua Kai to Whaler's Village. At Honua Kai you are on the world famous Ka'anapali Beach but well away from the crowds that you'll sometimes find in the more densely populated area south of Black Rock.
Our unit is great for 2 couples since each couple gets a bedroom suite with its own bathroom with a large living area between.
Our unit is also wonderful for families or other groups up to 6 since the second bedroom can be made up with 2 twins and the new sleeper couch is queen size.
I've made the unit very 'kid friendly' with a pack n' play portable crib, 2 bed bumpers, a Fisher Price portable high chair / booster seat, and sippy cups. I have Netflix & Amazon streaming services.
I also love to "wow" my guests by providing things you wouldn't expect, such as a rice cooker, an instant pot, a closet full of beach chairs, boogie boards, beach umbrella, cooler, and more.
I updated the furniture & flooring in 22-23.
