Rental Details

Property Overview

Aloha. After the devastating Lahaina fire, and with deep respect to the families and businesses that were affected, west Maui is welcoming guests back. By staying here and patronizing local businesses, you will be putting locals back to work and providing an important source of tax revenue for the state of Hawaii and the county of Maui. Your host Clever Trevor stayed in this unit several times in late 2023 and 2024 and made it a point to dine out and tip well. Clever Trevor was thanked for providing that vital economic support. In May of 2024 Maui's Mayor proposed phasing out certain vacation rentals in apartment zones beginning in July 2025 to hopefully covert some of those properties to long term rentals - if it happens it WILL NOT affect this unit at Honua Kai which is zoned Hotel. Mahalo for your support.

This is KONEA 142, the KING of the GROUND FLOOR 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo-tel luxury homes at the Honua Kai Resort & Spa on Ka'anapali Beach Maui. Aloha. I am Clever Trevor Alt and I proudly own and manage this property.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! This private oasis is located on the GROUND FLOOR of the private NORTH side of Honua Kai - you don't face other units. KONEA 142 is the ONLY northwest facing ground floor 2 bedroom 2 bath condominium home on the north side of the Konea building. This is the quietest and most private part of Honua Kai - but it has the EASIEST ACCESS to all resort amenities. You can come and go securely from the back door facing the yard or the front door to the hallway.

VIDEO TOURS: See the 2014 video tour of my unit and the nearby pool, and the 2018 Matterport tour of the unit. After the video was made the living room TV was upgraded to a 75 inch 4k Samsung hung on the wall.

1) New sleeper couch.
2) New side chairs.
3) 3 new beautiful koa wood Minke fans with lights installed in the bedrooms and living room.
4) New luxury vinyl plank flooring replaced the carpet.
5) New dining chairs.
6) New barstools.
7) New beds.
8) New decorations.

FREE EXTRAS:
1) 75 inch 4k UHD Samsung Smart TV in living room + TVs in each bedroom.
2) Fast, free WIFI - 300 MB lightning fast fiber optic internet service!
3) A comfortable lounge chair for sunbathing on your own private lawn while keeping an eye on your kiddos!
4) Luxurious adjustable shower heads.
5) Amazon Alexa Echo. Voice activated. Ask Alexa for anything such as news, weather, or to play music.
6) Sonos beam soundbar hooked up to living room TV, can play music too.
7) Secure access to the unit from either the front or back doors.

Enjoy the open spacious feeling with 11 foot vaulted ceilings ~ only on the GROUND FLOOR ~ and 1,230 square feet of interior living space. You get 2 master suites divided by an open living and dining room and kitchen floor plan. Nano Glass doors OPEN THE ENTIRE WALL to a HUGE lanai with outdoor dining and lounging furniture, bordering your own private lawn and garden area. You get 420 MORE SQUARE FEET of furnished outdoor living space! We are a short 1 minute walk to the pools, Viking barbecue grill area, Duke's Restaurant and Bar, and the beach and Pacific Ocean. I've installed a KEYED lock on the lanai door for secure access. Super close to Whaler's general store, gym, spa & parking.

Due to our unique location on the north end of the resort, you'll enjoy ultimate privacy and a secure back door entrance that is all yours. Our front door is very close to the door to the interior courtyard. You reach all of the attractions of this gorgeous resort MUCH FASTER than if you stayed above the ground floor - no waiting for an elevator!

Our GROUND FLOOR location is so CONVENIENT for hanging out at the pools or beach to pop into your own condominium to use the bathroom, freshen your drinks, have a snack, or grab the provided beach chairs, cooler, life jacket for your child, etc! Our guests prefer the PRIVACY of our "exterior" northwest facing lanai over the condos across the hall from us - their lanais face the interior courtyard which gives other condos across the courtyard a view into their units.

Konea 142 offers all the conveniences of a luxurious home and all the amenities of a world class resort and spa. Honua Kai occupies 38 pristine beachfront acres on the shores of Ka'anapali Beach so you’ll literally be just steps away from the tranquility of Maui’s shoreline. 3 naturally landscaped pools, 5 hot tubs, 12 Viking gas BBQs, Duke's restaurant and the Whaler coffee bar / convenience store. Enjoy walks or runs down the boardwalk, past Black Rock with its famous cliff jumping and snorkeling (1.4 miles from Honua Kai), down to Whaler’s Village with all its shops and restaurants.

Come experience my Aloha and pride of ownership! I am the owner and I go out of my way to add value so you will return and refer your friends.

There are many choices at Honua Kai. It is CRUCIAL for you to know EXACTLY what condo you are booking. Be absolutely sure you have A SPECIFIC CONDO NUMBER shown on a RESORT MAP (as seen in my pictures). Be certain that you see photos of THE EXACT condo you are booking. THESE PHOTOS ARE OF MY CONDO - KONEA 142. My condo has the most convenient ground floor location on the private north side of the Konea building and offers the best VALUE and best OVERALL EXPERIENCE available at Honua Kai. Don't just take it from Clever Trevor, check the reviews!

I highly recommend considering purchasing a trip cancellation insurance policy and consider adding a cancel for any reason rider. See squaremouth dot com. Surprisingly affordable.

If you're renting a vehicle (which I recommend), I have an acquaintance who privately rents a fleet of late model Honda Pilots and convertible Jeep Commanders for less than you'd pay one of the vendors at the airport and they deliver so you don't wait around. I also provide all my guests with 5 pages of recommendations for Maui dining and activities gleaned from about 50 visits over the last decade. Our local knowledge and pro tips are part of what you're paying for and I appreciate the opportunity to add value to your vacation experience by answering questions and making recommendations.

Note: I am not always able to accept a booking even when dates appear available. Please ask.

Mahalo!

I looked around for months and am really happy I booked this condo. We were traveling with two kids, ages 11 and 14. Having a private room and bathroom for us and them was perfect. The condo was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed to cook meals at home. I originally wanted a place with an ocean view. Although you get a peak of the ocean from the lanai, it isn’t a full ocean view. Ultimately, I decided that the easy access to the pool and beach, plus the privacy of this location, was more important than an ocean view and I’m so glad I made that decision. It is literally a one minute walk to the gorgeous pools or the beach. This made it very easy to go back and grab something. I felt bad for the guests that had to wait for the elevator in their wet bathing suits, which could be a long wait depending on the time of day. Both the condo and the lanai are gorgeous and well appointed. The resort offers four different pools, which we spent hours at each day. The beach is beautiful, although the reef, with spiny sea urchins, is shallow, which hindered free swimming directly from shore. This wasn’t an issue for us, but something to keep in mind. Access to the parking garage was really close and you can enter and exit the property from the gate at Honoapi’ilani Park Access Rd, saving the circuitous route through the resort. Communication with Trevor and Monty was perfect. They checked in to see if everything was good, but were unobtrusive. I would book again!!

This condo is amazing! Perfect location in the building on the first floor. Quiet but easy access to everything. There is a store, gym, pool with towel boxes, dukes restaurant

We stayed 7 nights over the Christmas holiday and everything was PERFECT. Trevor's communication is top-notch and thorough. The property is promoted well and in-person it checks off everything - amenities, cleanliness. We particularly loved that the 2nd bedroom could have the bed split into 2 beds for our sons. The 1st floor access is slick and the lanai is awesome. We would HIGHLY recommend this property and found the value to be well worth it.

We totally enjoyed our week stay at Trevor’s ground floor property in the Konea tower. Unit was clean, well stocked and as pictured. Like other reviewers mention, being on the ground floor is so convenient. Check in and check out were a breeze and Trevor and Monty replied quickly to some questions we had.

Debbie H.10.0/10

Room was exactly as pictures showed. Trevor had excellent communication from beginning to end and gave us winderdul recommendations while we were there. The unit was easily accessible to the pools, beach and parking. The unit has a closet with chairs, snorkels, bogie boards etc. Only two down falls If you have a car, the unit is close to the parking garage but to get to the parking garage, you have to drive through the entire poperty. There is a gate closer but it was not available to use. The resort has a lazy river which is not lazy, which means it does not move..floaties are to buy only. Wish I knew. This two down falls have nothing to do with this units owner just a fyi for guests.

My husband and I and our two adult kids had a wonderful week here. We loved the ground floor entry and spacious lanai. Everything was as described. Trevor and Monty were very responsive to questions and ensured that we had no concerns that were not addressed. We appreciate Trevor's recommendations for restaurants and highly suggest a meal at the Sensei Grill, our favourite of the trip. 5 stars for location, amenities and service.

We loved our stay at the Honua Kai! The condo was absolutely perfect for our family of 4. Spacious, clean and well equipped. It was awesome to have a few boogie boards, beach chairs and cooler available to us. We were really happy with everything and didn’t need any assistance but Monty was attentive and available if we did. The resort is beautiful and everything was easily accessible. We also enjoyed having Duke’s on the property and took full advantage of their poolside drinks & snacks. We were so sad to leave but will be back ASAP!

We had the best time in Maui and the owner and property manager were very helpful and prompt in getting back to us with any questions. The pools were amazing and we rented the cabanas several times throughout the week. We would defiantly return and stay there! Thank you
