Not a Hotel, Not a Highrise, a 'Home'.

When we say it's a 'home', we're reflecting on the many comments our guests have fed back over the years. They've returned to their 'home back home' with suntans, rich memories of the tours and activities they've chosen to experience. But they also take along memories of just having been free to relax with no hassles or elevator rides, or lengthy walks to the beach, or the garage. Ours is a kickback place where you call the shots.

With only eighteen units in the complex, we offer seclusion and privacy if that's your desire, or, if you choose, you'll easily find some great fun right there on the premises. Here's a sample of what can be found:

Stairs to the water lead to snorkeling, board and body surfing, kayaking, surf fishing. All are enjoyed just off our shore.

There's whale watching in winter and early spring.

Turtles come visit and dolphins are seen jumping not far away.

You're invited to join the fun at our resident manager's weekly sunset PuPu parties next to the pool.

It's just a short walk to the three-times-weekly Farmer's Market.

Your daily needs can be fulfilled at nearby grocery and convenience stores, delis and locally popular take-out eateries.

Frommer's Travel Guide named our Hoyochi Nikko Ocean Condos as one of their highest recommended properties. Maui Revealed gives Hoyochi Nikko their prestigious Gold Bar rating for excellence. Independent rating service 'Family Trips' gives Hoyochi Nikko, the Hyatt Regency and the Sheraton Maui a B+. with a side note 'Great!' It's where I would want to stay in Maui!'

About Pam Steffen

My husband Jay and I live in the Northern California wine country, love the outdoors and our many return trips to our home away from home on the Maui beach front. We especially enjoy sharing our little slice of Maui Paradise with our guests, who continue to tell us how much they enjoy themselves during their stay. We welcome all our repeat visitors, and eagerly look forward to welcoming you first timers into our Island family. Aloha! Pam and Jay

Pam Steffen purchased this condo in 1999
Why Pam Steffen chose Honokowai

First it was Maui, and our love affair with its unique variety of tropical landscape, country roads and dramatic ocean scenery. Add to that the wide choice of activities from snorkeling, surfing, championship golf, hiking, fishing along with plain old soaking up rays and napping on the beach. Our best discovery on Maui was when we stepped through the front door of our beachfront condo. We were treated to a postcard view of azure water with the sun setting between the islands of Lanai and Molokai. It was love at first sight. We now welcome you to that same experience. May it be everything you're looking for and more.

What makes this condo unique

Our condo (one of only 18 on the two-story oceanfront property) has often been described as 'The Honeymoon Nest' because of its top floor, end-unit privacy. Other benefits we brag about are: a 20-foot vaulted wood ceiling, our newly-remodeled kitchen, bath and air-conditioned bedroom.

Comfortable like home

Fabulous condo for couples. Although the pictures are accurate, they can't do justice to the real thing. The view is simply awesome. We stayed 18 days on this island visit which was long enough to start to feel like home and there was no better place to be in this condo. It has every convenience. We especially enjoyed our mornings on the lanai watching the humpback whales put on a show. The best underwater pictures I took of the sea turtles were taken right out front in 3 feet of water. They were there every day! The location is close to very good snorkeling at Kapalua Bay and Black Rock. We enjoyed meals out at Betty's Beach Cafe and watched the free luau show next door as we ate! Another restaurant highlight was the Hali'imaile General Store out near Makawao. It is a bit out of the way but worth the drive. Warren and Annabelle's Magic show was also fabulous, can't believe we missed it on previous visits. All this and more is near the condo. The manager at the complex is very friendly and goes out of his way to be helpful.

2 weeks in Paradise

Just returned from a 15 night stay and can not wait to return. We have been to Maui many times before but this was our first stay at Hoyochi Nikko. The beach was small but very nice ocean access and snorkeling. Plenty of turtles to see and snorkel with. We had no real problems with the unit but Pam contacted us to make sure everything was fine once we arrived. She and the on site manager Kenny were available if and when anything was needed.

The view from the Lanai is great! Looking right at the ocean with the islands of Molokai and Lanai in the background. The sunsets and dawn were terrific from this unit. The full moon on the water created quite a view as well.

We sure did enjoy having the washer and dryer in the unit. Made life a little easier. The only thing negative I can say is the parking is a bit tight but had no real problems with it. We would go back and stay in this unit again. There was room enough in the unit for both of us to be comfortable for 2 weeks. If you are the condo type and not the resort type person you will enjoy this place.

We recently stayed in Pam & Jay's place for only a week (wish it could have been more!) What a great spot for the ultimate relaxation! Very intimate place right on your own private (although there are no "private" beaches in Maui) - this one sure felt like it. The condo has every amenity that you could want or need and is very well kept. Cleanliness is huge for us and their home is very clean. Thanks for your journal noting the highlights of Maui - even though we have been going every year since 93 its nice to find out about a beach we have never been to! Thanks again and hopefully we will be back one day! Take care,
Tracy & Colin, Coquitlam BC

What a great place

My wife and I stayed here for a week on our honeymoon. Everything was exactly how it is in the listing and Pam and Jay were wonderful to deal with. The parking spot is a little tricky to get in and out of, gets better as you get use to it. Most of the time the unit is cool with the breeze coming in although sometimes even with the breeze and all the fans on it was just a little hot in the unit, but why are you still in the unit you should be outside its Maui! The view is amazing and the beach in front of the condo is great for swimming and snorkeling, just not for laying on due to the tide, but that is ok, just lay on the sand plot just off the beach at the condo. We had visits from the turtles every day and night. We did notice that everyone from all the other condos seemed to flock to the beach at this condo as it seemed to be better than theirs, oh well all beaches are public. The unit was clean and the kitchen was enough to let us make some of our own meals which was great for saving some money. The town of Lahaina is only five minutes down the road and has whatever you need. Costco is like a half an hour away(we got lost finding it). As far as attractions and resteraunts, we would recommend doing anything with trilogy excursions as we went snorkeling and on a sunset sail with them and loved both of them. We went parasailing with UFO and that was cool. We went to cold creamery for ice cream, mmmm. We wanted a relaxed atmosphere and stopped in at bubba shrimps after spending the day on front street, man we are glad we did. After two weeks in HI this was one of our best meals and great service. Also went to Sea house to eat, food was good but atmospher a little uptight, we werent sure when we got there if we were allowed to talk! We also did the old lahaina lua, that was great. If we ever make it back to Maui we would be looking to go back to this condo in a heartbeat.

If you are lucky enough to find this place book it now!!

This condo is everything it's billed as. This is a slice of heaven.

We had the best weather the entire week we were there. The snorkeling at the condo was great! Saw many fish, turtles and even an octopus.

The other condo renters had stayed here several times before. So if the dates you have are available I would say book right away. You CANNOT go wrong with staying here.
