About this property

At the water's edge! Direct Oceanfront

Honokeana Cove 118 brings modern elegance to a classic oceanfront setting. Recently remodeled, this stunning unit features Brazilian granite countertops in both the kitchen and bathroom, along with sleek Italian porcelain tile throughout. Its stylish décor, upgraded amenities, and unbeatable location make it one of the most sought‑after condos at the Cove. And with the Pacific Ocean just 11 feet away, the turtles truly can’t get any closer.

Located in Napili, West Maui—just a quarter mile south of the sandy shores of Napili Bay—Honokeana Cove is a gated, intimate community of only 38 low‑rise units surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. Every condo overlooks the secluded cove, offering breathtaking views of Molokai and the sparkling Pacific.

The cove itself is one of Maui’s premier snorkeling spots, filled with vibrant coral, colorful tropical fish, and the beloved Hawaiian green sea turtles that glide through the water year‑round. A heated oceanfront pool sits just steps from your door, adding to the dreamlike atmosphere of this tropical paradise.

If you’re used to large hotels with endless hallways, Honokeana Cove offers a refreshing alternative. Instead of daily maid service or a 24‑hour front desk, you’ll enjoy spacious living, a full kitchen, comfortable bedroom, and the freedom to relax at your own pace. Quiet hours from 10 pm to 8 am keep the property peaceful—perfect for couples, families, and anyone seeking a calm, restorative getaway. With only 38 units, the Cove feels friendly, private, and wonderfully serene.

Amazing Property right on the Ocean

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the unit. It is right on the water and has amazing snorkeling including many turtles each time we went out. The view was so nice that we ate dinner every night on the lanai rather than going out to restaurants. The property is well appointed and looks just like the pictures. We will definitely stay there again!

Aloha Joseph, Sorry about the noise. Those units next to 118 are not in my rental pool so it is hard to control the occupants. But if you ever have a problem, come to me immediately and I will do my best to rectify the problem. I look forward to having you back. mahalo, su

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family made our 25th trip to “the Cove” this past ten days (8/1-8/10). If continuous return business is a plus, what can I say! This trip was impacted by the tragic fire in west Maui. We were without ANY power at The Cove. Su and Ray stepped up and made our stay as comfortable as possible under the trying circumstances of no power, no news and the unknown.

Won't deter me from renting #118 again, would just really make it an A+ for us! Su and Betty are wonderful, really go out of their way to insure you have a pleasant stay.

The Perfect Hawaiian Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband I rented unit 118 for our week on Maui. I was a guest at Honokeana Cove in 2005, and the place is just as magical as I remember. The view, the ocean and pool access, the turtles (!!), all perfect. The condo itself was super clean, beds were comfy, and cupboards were stocked with everything we needed. And not to be overlooked, the Honokeana Cove management, from pre-vacation check ins to on site management, were attentive, prompt, and professional. Our stay was lovely and we can't wait to return. The Cove is so much better than a fancy Hawaiian resort. It's the ideal Hawaiian home away from home.

Second visit in 14 months!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We hope to make this an annual visit. So relaxing, well equipped kitchen needs and seasonings (last year's unit didn't have so much as a salt shaker), close to groceries and great restaurants. And the turtles! so fun to snorkel with and watch them sun themselves on the rocks just below us. 118 is the best unit for the view. Love the pool, too. We had a smoke alarm battery go dead and it took a few days to get a replacement, and we waited a day to get one of the screens hung back up after the wind blew it off the window. Minor things so don't let this stop you from booking now!

Perfect Location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent accommodations in a small secure complex with incredible views. Very private with beautiful, well-maintained landscaping. Nice pool. Great access to snorkeling in the cove with lots of fish and turtles. Unit 118 has a well-appointed kitchen with newer appliances and tasteful decor better than what is depicted in the photos. The beach and picnic equipment were greatly appreciated. The lack of AC was not a problem once we learned to control the heat with the shades. Our only real complaint was the guest who scheduled private swim lessons for her three year old child everyday in the pool - a little presumptuous. Our only suggestion would be some comfortable chairs on the lanai rather than just patio table chairs.And a more personal management style would probably be better.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Oct 2024
Mahalo for staying with us. Please reach out to the office that is open Monday - Friday from 8:30 - 4:30 everyday and let us know what we can do better. We want all of our guests to have an amazing stay! We are also available by phone or email on the weekends for any guest needs.
