Beautiful place in a great location with a fantastic view. Perfect for watching the sunset. No direct beach access though, but you can jump in from the steps. Sandy beaches are a short walk in either direction.

Location Location Location!

I discovered this building several years ago. This unit is situated directly on the shore line with unobstructed views to watch the sunsets, the turtles eat from the reef directly below, and the whales play not too far in the distance. The condo offers everything you need to make home cooked meals and is essentially a home away from home while you listen to the waves rock you to sleep with an ocean breeze to cool down.

Absolutely Gorgeous

This property was everything we expected and more! The home is clean and beautifully decorated. The lanai is lovely and the views amazing. The lanai feels like the balcony of a cruise ship with the ocean right beneath you. We enjoyed watching the sea turtles from the lanai and then swimming with them. It was a wonderful stay and we can’t wait to return. Would most definitely stay in this property again!

Unbelievable at every turn!

We loved our stay. The entire place was perfect for us after 25 years together. The view was gorgeous, many full and double rainbows, waves, quiet area, safe and fun walking. Comfortable beds, perfect kitchen and beach supplies. We have no requests to make it better

Quiet Paradise

Our stay at HonuHouse was absolutely amazing. We loved our stay right on the water. Falling asleep to waves crashing right out the door was so peaceful. We arrived on Maui after spending a few days on Oahu and it was like going from the city to the country. We had busy and active to quiet and peaceful. We are grateful that we were able to stay in your piece of paradise.

Fantastic Views

Unit was a bit dated, but very clean and comfortable. The unit could not have been closer to the water! Listening to the waves while watching sunset and sunrise and while falling asleep was wonderful. We loved the amazing views and thoroughly enjoyed watching all the sea turtles while sitting on the deck.

Amazing! You can't get any closer to the ocean!

We were thrilled with the incredible location of this comfortable 2 bedroom 2 bath condo! Breathtaking view from a wrap around lanai on the 2nd level that overlooked turtles and breaching whales in the distance. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and good wifi made this a perfect place for 4 of us. The grounds are well kept, very nice pool and several nice BBQs and picnic areas. Wendy is extremely helpful and responsive to questions.!

Jaw-dropping Oceanfront View

This unit is at the very tip of the property which gives it the most amazing view imaginable. From the lanai you can easily spot turtles and whales (in season) and the sound of the surf is positively hypnotic. The property felt a bit "tired" but our experience was influenced by the cool, rainy weather we had which meant we had to spend a LOT of time in the unit. The owner was very responsive and check-in was easy.

Amazing condo for waterfront experience!

We were extremely satisfied with this condo! The wrap around lanai overlooking the ocean (almost on top of the ocean) was breathtaking, and the sunsets beautiful! Turtles right below us, and humpback whales within view of breaching....highly recommend this place for 2-4 people. Well equipped with all the beach and snorkeling gear you need. Much appreciated that we did not have to rent. The owner, Wendy, is a great communicator and wanting to make things better for her guests. You won’t be disappointed!

Stunning Views! We will be back!

Fantastic experience with Wendy, super responsive and beautiful condo, very clean and well maintained! Watching whales and turtles or just simply sitting and taking in the view from the lanai was our favorite thing to do. Knowing there was no AC I was a bit afraid we’d be too warm, however we were completely comfortable the entire stay and the breezes were plentiful. We loved leaving the doors opened and sleeping to the sound of the waves. We hope to be back one day!

Holidays in Paradise

This property is in an amazing location being just a few short minutes from everything you could need including grocery stores, the ABC store, down town Lahaina and the amazing Maui Fish Market. The unit itself is one of the best on the property. With 180º views and you are literally on top of the ocean, with the reef and sea turtles on your doorstep every day. The unit is extremely well stocked with amenities, especially the kitchen and the beach items with everything you could you possible need for your trip. Wendy was a great owner and communication was excellent.

oceanfront paradise

Wendy was so gracious and accommodating as a host. Great communication throughout. The unit itself - the pics speak for themselves. It was like being in an overwater bungalow - we were maybe 10-15’ from the water. We watched each day as dozens of sea turtles passed directly in front of us beer the water’s edge. Beautiful view and sunsets. We spend most of our time on the large lanai, but the living room and kitchen were nicely equipped and furnished. Perfect unit for a family of four.

EVERYTHING AND MORE

The property was exactly as described. Clean and comfortable with a kitchen that had everything needed to prepare meals at home. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Mostly...the view!!! Second to none! We worked, ate and relaxed on the lanai. All day the view was spectacular. Snorkeled off the wall and saw turtles every day. 10am seemed to be their time to graze at the break-wall. Hope to stay here again in the future.

30 feet from waters edge - whale watching every day

The unit is right on the waters edge, one floor up. No people noise but prepare for wave crashing as if in bedroom! Kitchen fine, not great. One bedroom has louvered door between it and living room so minimal night privacy. Beds fine. Lots of salt water exposed rust around. In summary it is a fine unit for 4 people who know and love each other.

Best ocean viewing around! Absolutely prime location to enjoy the whales and wave watching

We couldn't believe how this property was even built so close to the water. We looked all up and down beach and felt like we had the best of the best. Can't swim or snorkle right below condo but even at night we could watch the waves and the sunset and the rainbows and the kite boarders, paddle boarders, whales in the distance. Loved every minute there. Only regret is not staying at condo to enjoy it more but we sure saw all of Maui and loved it all. So many beautiful hikes!! At night, the ocean noises are loud and relaxing. Best sleep ever. Great high windows to open for air flow. Kitchen well stocked. Only surprise was the wall of second bedroom is an accordion shutter - but it works great. Went to another ocean front condo on Oahu after this and couldn't even hear the ocean at night. You will love this place. Lanai was so much better than anything else around . If you plan to spend any time watching the ocean, this is your place.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Hibbs

Host profile image
My husband and I bought our first unit in 2009. We love the location and the fact the complex is small and quiet. We decided to buy a second unit to rent out and have had such great luck that we decided when the 2 bedroom came available we had to have it. We wanted right on the ocean and you can't get any closer than this unit! We were both born raised in Salida, Colorado and have ran our crane business since 2000.

Why they chose this property

Hale Ono Loa is a very wonderful place. It is small, quiet and very well maintained. You couldn't ask to be any closer to the ocean. It always has turtles out front of the condo and during whale season you can watch the whales. It is a very unique place.

What makes this property unique

This condo is literally over looking the water! It has an amazing, unobstructed view of the ocean, Lanai and Molokai. You can look down into the water and watch the sea turtles daily and during whale season watch the whales breaching. You have the constant sound of the waves that makes it so relaxing! This is truly the closest you can get to the ocean.
