Welcome Home to the Royal Hawaiian residence of Honua Kai- Konea #204, exclusively offered by the Stice Team of Hawaii Life Vacations. This warm and classically Hawaiian-decorated large two-bedroom (1,250 sq.ft w/ 250 sq.ft lanai) home is a unique offering at the resort. This home features sweeping panoramic views of the verdant Mauna Kahalawai (West Maui Mountains), frequent rainbow sightings, and a slight partial ocean view from the lanai, with no neighboring lanai oceanward.
NOTE: Resort-wide exterior lanai and building painting to begin on the Konea tower July 2022 until Dec 2024. Power washing, painting, and scaffolding will be set up around the building. This unit's lanai has been completed and is fully accessible.
The owners of this property love their winter escape to come enjoy the whales and all that Maui has to offer. Konea 204 is in spectacular condition with many custom touches throughout- brand new Acacia flooring ‘22, new furniture and appliances ‘21, and custom art pieces from around the state that bring vibrant color and warmth.
Enjoy the sweet smell of the radiantly colored orange and white plumeria tree right outside the home as you gaze up at the lush mountain slopes of Mauna Kahalawai. In the other direction, you will find the partial ocean view overlooking Duke’s Beach House Restaurant and the island of Lanai. This balcony faces East, which makes for spectacular sunrises and a well-protected lanai area from the consistent prevailing trade winds.
There is ample and comfortable seating in the living room area with two couches (one of them a pull-out sleeper sofa). This home away from home has all the comforts you would want with its well-equipped kitchen, ample beach gear, and gear for the little ones. Refined granite slabs, cherry cabinets, Bosch stainless steel appliances, porcelain tile, and lots of room to operate while making your favorite fish ceviche, or whatever you desire, while never losing sight of that gorgeous view.
Owners and guests alike at Honua Kai can’t get enough of the open floor plans, which are further enhanced by a seamless transition between outdoor and indoor living areas through the glass Nanna wall doors. This property comfortably sleeps six, with a king bed in the two primary bedrooms and a pull-out sofa in the living room.
The primary suites each have a very comfortable and large king bed, an adjoining ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and a large granite slab with two separate sinks. With advanced notice, one of the primary suites, the King Bed, can be split into two twins.
Honua Kai is the preeminent resort in all of West Maui with its direct Hawaiian golden sand beachfront location, newer construction, pools, and unmatched amenities (On-site Spa, Dukes Beach House Restaurant, Aina Gourmet Market, Whalers General Store, etc). Honua Kai is at the center of all that West Maui has to offer- 5-star restaurants, championship golfing, and world-class beaches with unmatched natural surroundings. With Honua Kai's convenient West Maui location, you will not need to travel more than 20 minutes in any direction for a complete and memorable vacation experience.

Honua Kai Konea 204 was the perfect place to stay! It was very clean (even smelled clean), the furnitures were comfortable, each room was beautifully decorated and very well maintained. The guest pantry was well stocked with everything we needed! We would definitely recommend this unit to anyone living looking for a place to stay on Maui!

This rental was just what we needed to feel like we were on vacation, it’s so nice to come to a nice clean rental and feel comfortable. The check in process was very easy and the communication from the Hawaii Life team was amazing, even after hours as well. This rental even had pack n plays for our young children, plastic kid dishes and utensils, and a high chair. This was a very comfortable place for our family, enough room to spread out.
The resort was really nice too, 3 different pool areas, right next to the beach, and easy paths for walks with the young kids. We will definitely remember this rental for our next visit.

Great place to stay. Unit was nicely furnished and kitchen had everything we needed. Partial ocean view was over very stated though. When there was a wind you could almost see through the big palm tree blocking the view. We would definitely come back.

Overall, the unit is good and located in a great place. Property Management (Hawaii Life) flooded us with communication to get the agreement signed and payment… then communication via email, phone, and text was nearly non-existent. They didn’t refund our full deposit nor expanded why they withheld our money.
We would stay at Honua Kai Report again (our favorite) but stay away from this property management company.

This unit was clean and just as pictured. It included ample linens, towels, and basic toiletries and household goods. Having access to beach chairs, umbrellas, toys etc was nice. Easy access to the pool/beach. The Stice team were prompt and responsive when beach toys were missing and an umbrella was broken. They replaced them within few hours. This rental was a comfortable stay for families traveling together and/or with children. We look forward to visiting again!

My family had an amazing vacation at the Honua Kai Resort. The unit had absolutely everything we needed during our stay. We really loved the beach chairs and toys that made it easy for our amazing beach days. The management team was super attentive and had amazing communication. We will stay there again!

Condo was as pictured and very nice and spacious. Perfect for our family of 5. Kitchen well stocked with a variety of appliances if needed. Large lanai facing the mountain was also beautiful. Would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved staying at this property. The apartment was immaculate, and the location was wonderful. Everything was provided that we needed and the kitchen/outdoor grill was so nice to use to do our own cooking when we wanted.
The pool was beautiful and very easy access to the beach or other beaches down the walkway. The only issues we had was the pool had to be closed a couple times but they
staff was quick to reopen.
The unit is gorgeous and perfect for a relaxed time with friends. Thank you!

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during our most recent visit to Maui, Hawaii’s Paradise. The local hosts were super responsive and the facilities were top notch. Great customer service!The condo is well equipped, clean and well maintained and the building is all first class. The valet parking is an added perk and the guys are terrific and will bring your bags, groceries and other shopping up to your suite. Be sure to tip them as they provide excellent service!The location was perfect with excellent beaches, a wonderful walkway that goes for miles down the beach, and a great restaurant on the property. It’s centrally located to everything for exploring or checking out the extensive food offerings within a short drive.This was our 2nd visit to this property and we’ll be back. Book with confidence knowing you’ll be at a luxury home away from home.

This unit was amazing. It is spotless, beautifully decorated, furnished with everything you could possibly need and in a nice location. The condo was a perfect size for 4 adults. The slight ocean view was a sliver above the palms trees but the mountain view was beautiful. Dining on the patio was a nice option. The screens were restricted from use and mosquitoes were coming in so we had to be sure to close the doors at night
That being said, the building itself and property were a bit of a let down. The check in process was confusing. The valet informed us that the elevator on our side of the building was not operational (it never was fixed all week) so we needed to use the fire stairs which we did to avoid an extremely long walk to another elevator. The cranes erected across from our building were an obstruction to the view and work started every morning at 8. The pools were on the murky side and not very desirable for swimming. The amount of people reserving pool chairs with their belongings made finding a chair to use next to impossible. Signs warn that this isn’t allowed but I never saw any enforcement. The store on the first floor had a lot of items but the freezer was also broken all week so items like pizzas, ice cream and other frozen products were unavailable. Parking in the garage was almost always full after 6 pm (according to valet) so we opted to park in an open lot that was a short walk to our building. The towel lending process of scanning towels in and out worked fine. The food served around the property from Dukes was a plus. The staff at the recreational rental booth was great. When a group of 10 or more staying a few units down began smoking continuously on their balcony each day we informed the valet who said she would notify security and that was quickly rectified. We truly felt that the unit was way nicer than the building and the property. I would assume this is hard for the owner of the unit who may have little or no control over the general running of the building. Don’t go expecting a resort. This is a very beautiful condo in an ok building. It appears that the cranes will be around for a while since they are painting all of the balconies and buildings exteriors. It will look great when it’s done but if we had known in advance we would have chosen a different unit to avoid this. Luggage carts are available but only for use by bellman who were not available so be prepared to handle bags yourself.
