Review of Honua Kai! HUGE 1 BED (248)

Our rental experience couldn't have been better. From the time we first inquired about the property to the day we left, Terry and Jill (the property owners) were in constant contact with us and answered every single question we had, right down to the most mundane details. Having hosts who are so involved in managing their property made the experience so much more pleasant than other VRBO experiences we've had.
We received detailed instruction prior to arrival so that we know exactly what to do when we got off the plane in Maui. That really streamlined the process and made check-in super easy. The Honua Kai property itself is pretty spectacular, and this particular unit is no exception. It is spacious with a full kitchen, a large master bedroom and bath and an exceptional balcony overlooking the ocean. It's a bit hard to describe, but the door and windows to the balcony actually had the ability to fold away so that you could turn the entire unit into an open air room.
Terry and Jill are very thorough in maintaining the unit. We were pleased to find a binder on the coffee table chock full of information from the various features in the unit, to recommended local restaurants, to fun activities to do in Maui. We ended up referencing this binder on more than a few occasions.
After checking out of the Honua Kai we spent three days at the Four Seasons and both my wife and I ended up agreeing that we preferred our stay at Terry and Jill's place at the Honua Kai. Better accommodations, more accessible environment, more interesting part of Maui.
We plan on returning to Maui and when we do we will definitely try to rent this property again.

Honua Kai resort was a great place to stay. Resort, grounds, and pool areas were immaculate. September was the perfect time to go-resort and beaches were uncrowded and very relaxing. Good snorkeling right off the beach. Duke's has great food.
The unit itself was as advertised and more. The photos and description don't really do the place justice. Very clean and well-cared for; fully stocked with everything we needed, from laundry detergent and spices to beach towels, chairs and toys; felt like being at home.
Jill and Terry were a pleasure to deal with from the start. You can tell that they care about their units and their guests. Very responsive with any questions we had and checked in with us regularly in the days prior to and upon our arrival to make sure that everything went smoothly. Highly recommended. We will definitely rent from them again on our next visit to Maui.

My husband and I recently stayed in this unit and we found it to be perfect. The unit is quite spacious and comfortable. We appreciated the extras such as a selection of beach gear, a well equipped kitchen and the roku device for watching movies etc. Honua Kai resort is quite beautiful with lots of pools, nice garden areas, viking grills in various locations and the beach steps away. The underground parking was convenient.
We utilised the gym, spa and Dukes restaurant on site. Across the street is a supermarket and a selection of restaurants. A path along the beach leads to nearby resorts and is good for jogging or a stroll.
Looking forward to returning.

1 review As a returning guest to the resort, but a first time VRBO guest, we found our stay to be absolutely awesome! Attention to detail by the owners was perfect, and the little extras like beach accessories and kitchen condiments were really appreciated compared to a standard resort stay. We are definitely return customers of Jill and Terry's.
