Photos and Description of the Honokowai vacation condo rental
Condo, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2)

Reef-surfing sea turtles, spectacular sunsets, all the colors of the ocean and the rustle of palms overhead ... Those are just a few of the daily sights and sounds you'll enjoy in this top floor, oceanfront condo located halfway between the resort communities of Kaanapali and Kapalua.

Recently remodeled, the condo offers travertine tiled floors, tropical furnishings, mahogany and granite kitchen with stainless appliances, walk-in shower and ample storage. Clever sliding plantation doors between the bedroom and living area can be closed for maximum privacy or left open so that you can watch the rising sun set the palms aglow outside.

Whales Ahoy!

Between November and April our guests get to enjoy the spectacular sight of the annual Humpback Whale migration. These awesome creatures come to Maui from Alaska every year to give birth and one of their favorite locations to do so is right out front of the condo in the wide channel between West Maui and the island of Lanai and Molokai. In the peak months (Jan - March), we can count on seeing dozens of whales an hour without leaving the condo!

Hale Ono Loa is a mid-century, low-rise condo complex that underwent a complete exterior renovation in 2010. Guests are able to enjoy a shared pool surrounded by palms, access to the ocean, sundecks at both pool level and alongside the ocean and beautiful tropical gardens filled with fragrant colorful blooms all year long. There's off-street parking, shared gas BBQs, shuffle board court and an interesting mix of full-time residents and vacationing visitors. Each condo is individually owned and independently rented, providing a low-key, peaceful alternative to the brand-name 'resort' experience.

About The Owner

We love to swim, snorkel and scuba dive so Hawaii has been a favorite vacation destination for years. When we came to stay at Hale Ono Loa in West Maui in January 2007, we just knew it was the place for us. It's conveniently close to Lahaina and golfing at Kapalua or Kaanapali and BEST of all, it's right on the ocean. We can fall asleep listening to waves and wake up to surfing sea turtles.

When the Pacific Northwest is winter-dreary there's no better place than the lushly landscaped gardens around the condo and the azure blue sea right out front! We hope you'll consider staying in this place we love so much. Aloha! Vanessa & Greg

The Owner purchased this condo in 2007
Why The Owner chose Honokowai

There's just so much we enjoy about Hale Ono Loa. We love the reefs out front which fill with green sea turtles when the tide is high and always guarantee colorful fish when we're snorkeling. The ocean-side sundecks offer comfortable lounges for sunning or shady retreats for watching the whales. A thrice-weekly Farmers' Market is just a couple minute's walk down the street and it's only another short stroll to the head of the boardwalk which continues nearly 5 miles through the entire Kaanapali Resort area.

What makes this condo unique

We tried to anticipate our guests' every need and desire when appointing our condo. From the 'Heavenly Bed' king size mattress on a romantic sleigh bed to a fully equipped kitchen; comfort, ease and privacy are what we hope our guests enjoy when staying with us.

Pack your lunch in one of the coolers and head out to the many wonderful nearby beaches. You'll find beach chairs, sun umbrella, mats and some toys stored on the lanai. Come home and shower off the day's activities in the travertine-tiled bath before slipping one of the Hawaiian music CDs in the entertainment center and watching the sun set from the comfortably-furnished lanai.

Does dinner in sound like a good idea tonight? Why not pick up a piece of ahi from the Fish Market and grill it up on the pool-side BBQ. Listen to the palms rustle overhead and plan tomorrow's adventures with the guide books we've provided.

This was our first stay at Honokowai Hale Ono Loa #407. We were very impressed with the location, views and quietness of the condo. This condo is very nice and comfortable. Very updated and nicely decorated. We did not want for anything! There were plenty of towels and bedding to last our 26 night stay. We could leave the sliding glass door open during the night for added comfort and also hear the ocean waves. The ceiling fan over the bed was really nice. The bed was very comfy. I do have to say that we did not like the couch, it was not comfy at all. Everyone we met there was very nice! The on site manager, Greg, was very helpful and just a fun guy! His wife Lei was very sweet. We spent a lot of time on the sun decks working on our tans. There were many sea turtles everyday to watch, we could see them from the lanai, the water is so clear! On the beach just a few steps away we got to see and male sea turtle taking a nap on our last day, what a special treat for us. We really appreciated having an elevator and the luggage cart. We don't travel lite:) Vanessa was very easy to work with. We appreciated her quick response when we needed her. We would recommend this condo to anyone wanting a quiet and relaxing vacation on Maui. It is in a very nice neighborhood and there are shops and a beach park within walking distance. We can not say enough how quiet it was and so very enjoyable. I have filled up 2 photo albums already with memories that we will enjoy forever! Thank you again Vanessa and Greg for allowing us to stay in your condo #407. We hope to come back in 2013 for another awesome vacation. Maholo Nui Loa

Our first stay on the west side of Maui and what an enjoyable one! Truly this area has so much to offer and Hale Ono Loa provides a relaxing atmosphere. The condo was well equipped and updated - the view from the lanai was spectacular. The complex was well maintained and very quite! Shopping and farmer's market were close by. Thanks Vanessa and Greg for a fantastic stay and hopefully will be back next year.

We loved staying in your well-appointed condo! The views were spectacular -- waves, turtles, whales, ships, etc... We cooked most of our meals and your kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed. (note to readers: a Safeway card is a MUST for better grocery prices. We saved a great deal of money using it in 4 weeks). Thank you for making your condo available to us. We'll be back!

Wow! Your "Hawaiian Home is gorgeous! Felt like I was in a Tommy Bahama shop and we loved our stay, the weather and the turtles. Lots of fun was had here and a lot of very special memories were made. Thank you.

Thank you so much for allowing us to share in your wonderful home away from home. It is beautiful inside and out! We are very appreciative of all the perks like the beach equipment and oh-so cozy bed. It was our first trip to Maui as a couple and I don't think we could have asked for a better place to stay ... thank you again, and we hope to be back in the future.
