About this property

Honu Hideaway, Maui Kaanapali Oceanfront Penthouse

Oceanfront studio in one of a kind boutique condominium, on world famous Kaanapali Beach. Wake up to a breathtaking oceanview, take it all in from spacious lanai, fall asleep to the sound of the ocean every night

Located on the top 10th floor with close touch to ocean breeze and fantastic views, easy access to world-class beaches, restaurants, shopping and golfing

All taxes and fees are included in VRBO final booking price, free parking onsite, no hidden fees

***LOCATION***
This building is about as oceanfront as it gets! Any Maui's future buildings are no longer allowed to build this close to the water, which means you hear the ocean when open your window. Everyday people gather around the seawall to enjoy the sunset, while you can take it all in from private lanai

The condo is located on Kaanapali Beach, one of the best beaches Maui has to offer and about 10 mins north of the Lahaina downtown. Stepping outside of the building and you will get onto sandy beaches.

Condo is right next to all the large resorts where you can get easy access to resort amenities. 5 mins drive to other WORLD-CLASS beaches such as Napili, and Kapalua. Short walking-distance to restaurants, bars, cafes and water gear shops

***BUILDING AMENITIES***
Club house, swimming pool with Jacuzzi, BBQ grills
Plenty of free parking spaces
Laundry facilities in building

***INSIDE THE CONDO***
Penthouse unit with fantastic oceanview, smoke-free environment, super comfy King-size bed and the room comes equipped with all the essentials for a relaxing island vacation including:

* Water gear: beach totes, snorkeling masks & fins, swimming goggles, beach chairs, umbrella, ice box
* High-power binoculars
* Smart home audio for music streaming, smart TV, and fast internet WIFIin case you need to get some business done
* Kitchen and bathroom essentials
* Air-conditioning

***Other***
Maui is a tropical island and does tend to have bugs and ants during certain times of the year. Although the exterior of the building is routinely treated to help combat this issue and the condo is thoroughly cleaned between each guest, it greatly helps if you leave the screens shut and don't leave any food out to avoid unwanted creatures

This is not resort living, there are some conveniences the large resorts provide that I just can't offer, such as daily change of sheets/towels. If you are more used to that type of lodging, please choose resorts over my place.
Otherwise, you'll love everything about what Maui and my home have to offer.

Wonderful escape

Roger’s communication was fantastic and the description accurate. However—one thing was left out and I’m glad that it was because we probably wouldn’t have been able to secure the rental due to demand. When my partner and I first arrived and both looked over the balcony were gobsmacked to see not one, not two, but six massive sea turtles floating in the water directly below us . The water was crystal clear, and there was only one instance during our entire stay where we went outside and *didn’t* see one (and we were out there a LOT). Between that and stargazing with the enormous binoculars that Roger kindly provided, it truly felt like an escape from anything we’ve experienced on the mainland. Thanks so much for sharing your home, Roger!

Incredible Condo!

The views are spectacular! Pictures don’t do it justice. Saw whales the 1st two nights. Easy access to the beach and not far of a drive from Lahaina. Great snorkeling opportunities. Saw lots of fish and turtles. Lots of space for two people but could easily have more. Highly recommend this property and will definitely be looking to stay again in the future.

Great price, location, and view

We really enjoyed this condo. Fully stocked kitchen, aside from a blender. Boogie boards, sand castle equipment and beach towels available in the closets. The view was incredible, bed was comfortable, and the room was clean and a decent size. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a condo!

Fabulous stay

The condo is exactly like the pictures and is sparkling clean. The view is unbeatable, and we saw dozens of turtles, four eagle rays, and even a shark while sitting out on the lanai. The condo is walking distance to food trucks, a grocery store, and the boardwalk. We cooked many meals, and the kitchen was well stocked. We would recommend this condo to all our friends and family.

Nice studio

This place was very good for me as I was alone. I spent most of my time with my daughter and granddaughter who stayed in a larger unit. My only complaint is that the fan did not work or at least there were no instructions on how to turn it on,

Anniversary vacation

This was a great place for a 7 night stay. View on Lanai was priceless. We saw two turtles floating by over our stay. Recommend trying Dukes, having some Bad ass coffee, and trying Aa roots for breakfast. Honolua bay for snorkeling is a must see and taking a day to drive to Upcountry is also recommended. Thank you Christina for always having a quick response. Our 5 year in Maui was perfect!! Mahalo from Rachel and Breez Sovey (Tualatin, OR)

Amazing Views!

We stayed a week at Christine’s condo to celebrate my daughters graduation from college. I have to start with the view! It is beyond amazing!! You will not find a better view! We left the lanai doors open and slept to the sound of crashing surf every night! It was perfect!! The condo is perfect & just as described. Three adults were comfortable and had plenty of room. I was unsure about the Murphy bed, but it was very comfortable & my daughter said the pull out couch was also. The condo is fully equipped with everything from dishes to boogie boards. I was concerned that the condo being next to the laundry, trash shoot, and elevators would be noisy, but it was absolutely quiet and we never heard a thing. My only issue is that there is no beach at Maui Kai as shown in the pictures. I don’t know if it is a seasonal beach or not? But there was only rocks & a small bit of sand during our stay. You have to go to the neighboring resorts next door & down a bit if you want a beach. Also, beware the reef at the beach next door, it is sharp & your knees/feet will get ripped to shreds. There are plenty of beautiful places to snorkel within a short drive. There is also a market, restaurants, and a food truck food court right by the condo, which made for easy shopping & good food choices. Overall we were undoubtedly impressed by the condo & the location and will definitely book again!

Perfect little getaway

Staying here was super relaxing! Perfect size for my husband and I for our honeymoon. The kitchen was fully stocked with kitchenware, and there was beach umbrellas and towels for us to use. We watched the sunset everyday from the lanai and frequently saw turtles and dolphins while doing so. It was a lovely place to stay!

This top floor unit was quiet and had all the necessities of home. The view is amazing! Early mornings see turtles are seen making their way along the coast line. Nicely located between Kapalua and Lahaina. Just down the road is a nice plaza with a local grocery store.
