Maui Paradise: Oceanfront Condo with Stunning Views and Whale Watching at Hokulani 749

Welcome to Hokulani 749 at Honua Kai Resort & Spa
We are thrilled to introduce you to our newly remodeled penthouse suite, Hokulani 749, located at the award-winning Honua Kai Resort & Spa. We purchased this stunning unit in May 2024 and decided to completely remodel it before making it available to guests. The transformation, inspired by a modern beach house aesthetic, features exquisite designer touches and luxurious finishes throughout. Professional photos are coming soon, but we are confident that the beauty of this space will speak for itself!

As owners at Honua Kai since 2017, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting hundreds of guests and earning over 100 five-star reviews on our other listings. We’re excited to offer you the same exceptional experience at Hokulani 749.

1. What We Love About the Property

Hokulani 749 is one of the best units on the property, boasting arguably the best direct and unobstructed beach and ocean view of any 2-bedroom condo at Honua Kai. Positioned on the top floor with no palm trees or other obstructions (like Duke's Restaurant) to block the view, you’ll enjoy breathtaking vistas of the ocean and golden sunsets, all from the comfort of your condo. With its prime location at the corner of the building, the views are absolutely unrivaled.

Kitchen: The gourmet kitchen is a showstopper with its brand-new designer water drop pendants, top-of-the-line appliances, and all the cookware and dishes you need to prepare your meals. Whether you're whipping up breakfast before a beach day or crafting a gourmet dinner, you'll love the convenience and beauty of the kitchen. It’s also stocked with a Vitamix blender, coffee maker, and BBQ tools to ensure you have everything for your stay.

Views & Whales: You'll spend hours mesmerized by the expansive views of the ocean and coastline from the comfort of your living room or lanai. If you're visiting during whale season (December through April), you're in for a treat! Watch humpback whales breaching and playing in the waters just beyond the shore. It’s a magical experience that’s sure to leave a lasting impression.

Luxurious Remodel: The condo has just undergone a complete remodel in May 2024, with a fresh, contemporary style that blends modern design with island charm. New luxury plank flooring, fresh decorator white paint with accent walls in soft Antinori Blue, and a locally sourced Monkeypod waterfall dining table are just a few of the standout features. The Samsung wall-mounted TVs (65” in the living room and 55” in the second bedroom) and brand-new ceiling fans keep things comfortable while adding a touch of sophistication.

2. What We Love About Maui

Maui is a magical place that offers something for everyone, whether you’re looking to relax on the beach, explore the island’s natural wonders, or immerse yourself in local culture. Here’s what we love about Maui:

Scenic Beauty: From the dramatic landscapes of Haleakalā to the lush rainforest along the Road to Hana, Maui’s beauty is unparalleled. Spend your days hiking through national parks, relaxing on pristine beaches, or enjoying the stunning views on the scenic drives.

Outdoor Adventures: Maui is a playground for adventure enthusiasts. Go snorkeling at Molokini Crater, try your hand at surfing, take a sunset boat ride, or go zip-lining through the trees. There are also endless hiking trails and plenty of places to explore by bike.

Island Culture: The Aloha spirit is alive on Maui, and we love the opportunity to share it with our guests. Enjoy traditional Hawaiian music, dance, and fresh island cuisine. Don’t forget to explore the charming shops, art galleries, and local markets for a taste of island life.

3. What We Love About Booking Through Us

Booking with us offers a personalized, guest-focused experience that you won’t find elsewhere. Here’s why:

Impeccable Service: We are dedicated to ensuring your stay is perfect. As owners with years of experience at Honua Kai, we provide insider tips, recommendations for local activities, and easy access to everything you need to make the most of your time in Maui.

Attention to Detail: We’ve thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. From a fully stocked kitchen to pool and beach essentials (including Tommy Bahama chairs, an umbrella, a cooler, and a boogie board), we’ve got you covered.

Convenience & Extras: We provide essential amenities like laundry pods, starter toiletries, and a pack-n-play and mini high chair for families traveling with little ones. You'll also enjoy access to the resort’s pool towel program, Wi-Fi throughout the property, and underground parking for one vehicle (with valet parking available for a second car).

Exceptional Experience: With our over 100 five-star reviews, we pride ourselves on providing a memorable and seamless experience for our guests. You can trust that we’ll go above and beyond to make sure your Maui getaway is as special as possible.

Honua Kai Resort & Spa Amenities

Pools: Enjoy the resort’s lagoon-style pools with a waterslide, lazy river, waterfalls, and several hot tubs. There’s also a quiet adult pool for a peaceful retreat.

Dining: Duke's Restaurant is located onsite, offering poolside cocktails and delicious food.

Convenience: The property is within steps of the beautiful Ka’anapali Beach and features a beachside boardwalk leading to Whalers Village. You’re also a short walk to Black Rock and just a 40-minute stroll along the beach to Whalers Village.

Private Cabanas: Rent a private cabana by the pool for a luxurious day in the sun.

We’re confident that your stay at Hokulani 749 will be the highlight of your Maui vacation. Book today to experience the best of Maui in a luxurious, remodeled oceanfront condo. We can’t wait to welcome you!

Like staying at home...
Location, location, location; we loved the location of this property. Close enough to most things, but not overwhelmingly crowded like Kaanapali south of Black Rock. Property is very well-equipped for vacation, including the little things you might not expect like a cooler, beach chairs, foam roller and yoga mat. Having a kitchen (also well-equipped) and laundry was also made life more convenient. Super easy check-in with clear instructions. Hosts were very welcoming and responsive when we had questions. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great location, view and facility!
We came in late and the staff at Honua Kai we very helpful in getting us parked and into our room. The room itself was beautiful, everything looked new. First thing when we woke int he morning we went to the patio and were blown away by how beautiful the view was!! The pools, access to the beach, and local restaurants were great for us! The hosts provided beach chairs, cooler and football for some fun in the sun too which was great when traveling to other beaches around the island! Next time on Maui we will reach out and look to stay in this unit again!

Exceptional Experience in Maui
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Honua Kai and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The property was exactly as described, if not better. The spacious living area was perfect. The location was ideal, situated right on the beach with exceptional sunset views. The host was extremely accommodating and responsive. They provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. Their attention to detail truly made our stay special. The property was spotless and well-maintained, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, I highly recommend Honua Kai to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway or family-friendly vacation spot. We can’t wait to return!

Excellent Balance of everything.
Location on the island was great with dinning, shopping, long walking path, great beach, and good snorkeling surrounding you. Unit is beautiful with everything you need. Parking is great under the building with an elevator right to the hallway the unit is on. Owner checked in with us and was available if we needed anything, but we did not. I hope to stay here again.

Amazing Place, Amazing Time
Perfect in everyway - On the beach, next to the pool with million dollar ocean views. Perfect for a family vacation with 2 separate bedrooms and well equipped kitchen If there is any thing that I would have liked to have seen it would be a pair of life vests and some snorkelling sets Will stay here again!
