About this apartment rental
Never before available for vacation rental, this Honua Kai crown jewel boasts a stunning 5th-floor oceanfront location with sweeping ocean views from Molokai to Lanai.
The interior of this Honua Kai "Ali'I" residence (Hawaiian word for royalty) blends the resplendent charm of old Hawaii with the sophistication of modern master craftsmanship and design. An abundance of rich Hawaiian Koa wood enhances the experience. Step outside onto the massive 600 sq ft oceanfront balcony and enjoy the views while you prepare a sunset dinner on the built-in BBQ grill.
This residence accommodates up to 10 guests with two sumptuous king-sized beds in each primary bedroom and 2 comfy queen-sized beds in the guest bedroom. For additional sleeping capacity, the sectional sofa sleeper in the living room can be converted into a third queen bed. The spacious open floor plan provides the perfect tropical retreat for families and friends to gather and reconnect.
Your party will have plenty of room to spread out in the 2260 square feet of interior living space. Hokulani 551 is within a stone's throw of the sand and but a short stroll from Honua Kai's many pools and amenities. Bathe in the warm Maui sun from the privacy of your own balcony because the spacious outdoor living area offers plenty of unobstructed tropical sunshine.
Each bedroom has an accompanying luxury bath for each party's privacy. The bathrooms are lavishly adorned with granite counters and glass and marble walk-in showers. Each master bath offers a separate soaking tub and the first master bath offers something only found in the most elite Honua Kai residences - an elegant free-standing vessel-style soaking tub.
We encourage you to express your culinary creativity in the gourmet chef's kitchen. The space is fully equipped with stainless steel Viking appliances including dual ovens, and a built-in wine fridge. There is plenty of space on the ample granite countertops and we have provided all the cookware & utensils for you to prepare the perfect meal or refreshment... just bring the ingredients. Enjoy your meals on the spacious oceanview balcony or dine indoors in the climate controlled air conditioning. In addition, our commercial grade Vitamix blender lends itself well to preparing creative libations or smoothies with fresh local produce.
Take pleasure in spending your days at the resort’s three acre aquatic playground. With four separate swimming pools, a waterslide, waterfalls, fountains, and five hot tubs there will be no shortage of options for you and your loved ones to enjoy.
When it is time for a bite to eat, Honua Kai is home to the popular Duke’s Beach House Restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails. Duke’s specializes in serving up Hawaiian inspired cuisine using locally sourced ingredients and freshly caught seafood. Should you wish to enjoy a refreshment by the water, poolside service is available. For coffee, sandwiches, and farm fresh local items, the Aina Gourmet Market is conveniently located in the Hokulani Tower lobby.
Should you feel like pampering yourself with a refreshing massage or treatment, head downstairs to the acclaimed Ho’ola Health Spa. This sanctuary within the resort weaves Hawaiian inspired themes and ingredients into its wide array of signature treatments. Revitalize your senses with a Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage, Pohaku Stone Treatment, or Coffee Fruit Facial, or experience the health benefits of the spa’s unique Himalayan Salt Room.
If you wish to avoid excessive baggage fees from the airlines, consider packing lighter and utilizing the high efficiency Bosch washer and dryer in residence.
Free upgraded 300 Mbps high-speed Wi-Fi is available and is included with your stay. Complimentary booster seats, high chairs, and futons are also available upon request (based on availability).
Honua Kai occupies 38 pristine beachfront acres on the shores of Kaanapali’s North Beach so you’ll literally be just steps away from the tranquility of Maui’s shoreline. Stroll out to the beach to touch your toes in the soft sand or take a refreshing dip in the Pacific. An “Ohana Play Package” including Tommy Bahama beach chairs, BBQ equipment, and a portable cooler is provided complimentary.
For added convenience, our free courtesy shuttle offers complimentary transportation between Honua Kai and several West Maui locations.
If during your stay you require assistance or advice about the surrounding area or the suite, rest assured that you’ll be swiftly taken care of with aloha by one of our friendly & knowledgeable liaisons - hand-picked from West Maui’s leading luxury hotels. Help will never be far away because our offices are ideally located directly across the street.
***Please note that Honua Kai is located in a hotel zoned area meant for tourism and is thus safe from Maui's pending short term rental ban affecting apartment zoned areas.***

This property is perfect for all of your friends and family. We had twenty-three people at one time in many different units, but this one was used for our main family gatherings. The BBQ on the deck was a great way to save money and meet all together. The views, the pools, the restaurant, all very good and so much fun!! We will return if we can. Great resort for all of us!!

We have stayed at the property number of times. This is the first time we have had bug problems. Cockroaches and other bugs. Had to call for exterminator three times before the problem was taken care of . That left us three days pretty much big free, not good!

Great place to stay! Home away from home for us. It was very comfortable and relaxing. We enjoyed the ocean views, was able to watch the whales from the deck, and to see the amazing sunsets. A very convenient and accommodating place to stay even with a larger group.

We feel so lucky to have found this condo for our recent vacation. The best of the best, even for those with high standards. It does not get better than this one! Amazing views and location on a great property. Condo itself well appointed and comfortable.
Only note is with regard to the check in process - they will not let you check in even one minute before 4 pm, even if the unit is clean and ready. That was a bit of a bummer as we would have loved to get settled after a long day of travel.

Best view!
We absolutely loved our stay at this unit! It has the most amazing view. The beds are comfortable and it’s huge with plenty of room for everyone. There isn’t a better location. The wrap around lanai is incredible. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could want or need. Both indoor and outdoor dining. The grill on the porch was so convenient and amazing.
A few minor things I would suggest. When you are renting a unit at this price point, you don’t expect to see walls covered in scratches and scuffs… or for the carpet to be filthy and stained. The walls were a bit dirty as well. There was a new tv stacked in front of an old Tv in one of the bedrooms, which was odd and we were never able to figure it out and use it. The outdoor furniture shouldn’t be completely falling apart. These were minor issues, but when you’re paying that much per night you really should have these items in better condition .
We have stayed at many units at Honua Kai and this by far has the best view and is amazing. It just needs some small maintenance type things.
I would also suggest leaving a vacuum for longer stays (I assume most who use this large unit have children) and a vacuum would’ve been helpful.

Beautiful and first-rate location
This is a beautiful property, well represented by the photos in the add. Comfortable beds (firm), beautiful view and well stocked kitchen with cooking and serving pans/dishes. Condo is very clean, quiet and a wonderful large patio with fantastic views. We would definitely rent here again! Our suggestions for owner are minor: more dish towels, potholders and maybe a cookie sheet because the broiler pans are not suitable for heating items in oven. The property itself is well kept and beautiful. The pools are warm and so is the ocean. The beach is sandy but not very suitable for swimming do o the coral along the waters edge. Once you get past that the water is great!!! Thanks again!!
