About this apartment rental
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.

Room was exactly as pictures showed. Trevor had excellent communication from beginning to end and gave us winderdul recommendations while we were there.
The unit was easily accessible to the pools, beach and parking. The unit has a closet with chairs, snorkels, bogie boards etc.
Only two down falls
If you have a car, the unit is close to the parking garage but to get to the parking garage, you have to drive through the entire poperty. There is a gate closer but it was not available to use.
The resort has a lazy river which is not lazy, which means it does not move..floaties are to buy only. Wish I knew.
This two down falls have nothing to do with this units owner just a fyi for guests.

My husband and I and our two adult kids had a wonderful week here. We loved the ground floor entry and spacious lanai. Everything was as described. Trevor and Monty were very responsive to questions and ensured that we had no concerns that were not addressed. We appreciate Trevor's recommendations for restaurants and highly suggest a meal at the Sensei Grill, our favourite of the trip. 5 stars for location, amenities and service.

We loved our stay at the Honua Kai! The condo was absolutely perfect for our family of 4. Spacious, clean and well equipped. It was awesome to have a few boogie boards, beach chairs and cooler available to us. We were really happy with everything and didn’t need any assistance but Monty was attentive and available if we did. The resort is beautiful and everything was easily accessible. We also enjoyed having Duke’s on the property and took full advantage of their poolside drinks & snacks. We were so sad to leave but will be back ASAP!

Summer 2022
We stayed here in June 2022. The property property was just as described. Spacious, clean and stocked will all that we needed for our 8 night stay. The property manager, Monty, was welcoming and easy to contact for any questions we had. Trevor, gave us all kinds of recommendations before we arrived. My husband and I appreciate them both. The resort was beautiful. Easy access to the beach, about a 3min walk from our room. The towel system was so easy. The only challenge we had was with parking. The resort has underground parking with some limitations. But there is parking above ground. You’ll just have walk a little bit back to the room. Overall we would definitely recommend this place to families.

Perfect Maui Getaway
We absolutely loved every minute of our stay in this Maui property. The rental is spacious and had everything we needed to make our stay a wonderful one (kitchenware, bedding, patio furniture, beach gear, cooler, beach towels, etc).
The unit is steps from all of the resorts many amenities and an easy, convenient quick walk to the beautiful beach we came here for! We were also walking distance to a grocery store and food truck park that made for a fun dinner off-property.
We would stay here again on our next visit to Maui!

The Condo at Honua Kai Resort
This beautiful condo is in the perfect location at the resort. It is fully equipped and has everything you would need for a truly enjoyable stay. It has very close sandy beach access and is next to several excellent swimming pool choices. Indoor parking included, and again, very close to shopping and restaurants. The communication with the owner was excellent and always responsive for any question we ever had. This property is a real gem, and I gladly recommend it for anyone looking for a week or more for a relaxing family vacation in Maui.

We had a great time staying at Trevor's property. The unit was clean and everything was as advertised down to the beach chairs and umbrella etc. The ground floor unit was very convenient to the pool and other amenities. Check in was a breeze, and Monty was very responsive, he answered all my questions within minutes. All in all, a great stay and will definitely stay again when we go back to Maui next time.

Great place to take the grandkids!
We really enjoyed our two week stay in Trevor’s two bedroom condo from November 1st to 16th. It was great for a mixed family: two grandparents plus two grandkids with their parents.
The beach and pools were big hits, and we spent several days just playing in water and not leaving the property.
We happily used the barbecues several times but didn’t actually cook in the unit. This was a vacation, after all.
Our grands, five and three, enjoyed Slappy Cakes in the shopping center near Times Market. The grandparents walked over to Java Jazz several times for coffee drinks. And we brought home pizza from Pizza Paradiso a few times. The condo location is very good, with the market and food options within easy walking distance.
We ordered fish tacos to take out a few times, from Duke’s. They were delicious! We also went there for breakfast a couple of days, and dinner once. They were booked for dinner through the end of November, so we couldn’t plan ahead, but if you call they’ll put you on the list, and call back when they have a table. It worked very well!
Other activities were: spending an afternoon at the Maui Ocean Center (great aquarium!), driving to the summit of Haleakala on a gorgeous clear day, walking up the stairs to see the Iao Needle, and playing in the stream below the bridge. We tried out the boogie boards at DT Fleming beach, our five year old and her mom took surfing lessons at Ka’anapali beach, and we shopped for treasures in Lahaina after our traditional visit to Cheeseburgers in Paradise. The mynah birds at dusk in the big Banyan Tree were amazing, the little black baby chicks were a close second, and the ice cream and Dole Whip at Lappert’s were satisfyingly the same as always.
Trevor was very easy to work with, and answered any communication promptly. Monty was attentive and helpful while we were there. Honua Kai was an easy place to be. When we return to Maui with our grandchildren we’re sure they’ll want to stay in the same place.
We had a lovely time! Thank you, Trevor.

Great stay!
We stayed 9 nights and really enjoyed our stay. This location has the best of both worlds. A privately owned condo with resort amenities (minus the maid service). The resort was beautiful and perfect for our family of four. We took full advantage of the pools, the beach, the BBQ grill, kitchen, laundry, the spa and of course Duke's. We cooked about 50% of our meals. The rice cooker was a nice touch. The only negative was that there really isn't much storage in the kitchen for pantry items if you plan on bringing your own groceries and I noticed that the sofa had some water stains so it's probably due for a cleaning. Overall though I felt the condo was very well maintained and clean. We also really appreciated the beach toys and gear that were provided. Being on the ground level was super convenient, but there were times I wished that I could see the sunset from a balcony. Most days we were by the pool to watch the sunset anyway so that wasn't a big deal. Our host was always very responsive with any questions. If you are on the fence about going to Maui, you should definitely do it. The resort wasn't crowded at all and we felt totally safe. Thanks for a great stay!

Exceptional unit, highly recommended
We just got back from our 4th family trip to Maui and everyone had a great time. We always book a condo someplace so we can cook our own meals and I have been wanting to try Honua Kai after hearing so much about it from friends that raved about it. Well, it sure didn't disappoint what a beautiful resort! And Konea 142 has to be one of the nicest and most comfortable places I've stayed. The ground floor with a very private and lush garden setting and easy access to the beach. It's super quiet and you hardly see anyone. Trevor adds a lot of nice touches, like high quality bedding, and providing beach chairs and boogie boards (which came in very handy), and his on-island property manager makes sure everything is in order. A few tips; Duke's gets booked way ahead (like, months) but if you put your name in at the host stand, you'll usually get a table in an hour or two and they text you when it's ready. We never had a problem getting a table there and its definitely worth it, but you just have to be patient. If you are in a rush, there are food trucks lined up across the street from the little strip mall. The beach right outside Honua Kai has alot of rock and coral in the shallows (be careful) but if you walk down to a spot in between Honua Kai and the Westin, the sand goes way out and there are some nice shade trees. The parking garage is underground and can fill up quickly at night. If you want to sample some of Maui's nightlife, which is pretty limited, an Uber trip is recommended ($15 trip to Lahaina in a minivan). And for the best "Mai Tai"? You should try Monkeypod in Whaler's Village (owned by Merriman's). Happy hour 3:30-5pm. Their "White Walker" concoction is also quite amazing, and the food is great too.

This was my second stay in this property and once again I was completely satisfied. All was as advertised, very clean, convenient and well supplied. I look forward to coming back again in the future.

Family Aloha Vacation
Trevor and Monty were great hosts. They actively checked in with us and made sure things ran as smooth as possible. The property itself was fantastic. The location was a short walk to the amenities and the food trucks were nearby, which made it easy for us to grab a quick bite or dip in the pool. Our family really enjoyed staying at the unit and were able to relax after long days of sightseeing, shopping or eating. When we come back for another Maui vacation, we'll definitely consider staying here again.

Perfect Location/Beach Access
This location is everything. We walked on the beach every morning which was a very short walk from the lanai. The ground level made everything easier- no need to deal with waiting for an elevator. Monty kept in touch with us throughout our stay which was nice. We heard of other people having issues with their room/service/cleanliness, etc. but these were not an issue with this being a VRBO rental. Mosquitos were the only (tiny) issue we dealt with during our 8 day stay. The condo was clean and had everything we needed & more! We didn't have any issues with a spot at the pool as many others had complained about in reviews. Honua Kai is a beautiful resort. We can't wait to stay here again!! Huge thanks to Trevor and Monty!

Unmatched location. Unexpected benefits.
This luxury condo is beautifully furnished and maintained, making your Hawaiian paradise even more enjoyable. But, the intangibles push it over the top. As a ground-level property, it's just a simple walk to and from the sand through the lawn-adjacent sliding back door. No waiting on elevators or hauling beach gear through a lobby. The back doors are also accordion, which isn't just an aesthetic perk. Open them up at night and the wall disappears, circulating the perfectly temperate Hawaiian air throughout the condo, and blurring the line between living room, patio and the night sky. Another unexpected benefit is the welcome packet that Trevor provides. Instantly benefit from the MANY recommendations of a local who clearly knows the area well. The location is close enough to Lahaina to feel like you're part of the action, but removed enough from the tourists to feel like an escape. Once you get your bearings, use the second entrance (not the main one), and getting in and out of the parking garage only takes seconds. Overall, highly recommended. Tons of memories await...book now and get ready to enjoy.

Location really great and don’t hesitate to stay here. Wonderful.
Great location. We felt safe with Covid at this location. Beautiful private patio lead right to the beach. Trevor had all things we needed: Beach chairs, boogie boards, fins for snorkeling. Also the kitchen was well stocked. I would definitely come here again. We loved playing Hawaiian Music on the Alexa.
