When they say ocean views, they mean OCEAN VIEWS!
Truthfully this condo exceeded all expectations. Gorgeous ocean views from every single window, decorated with palm trees and surrounded by a quiet, protected beach. I read through many of the reviews and thought to myself "there's no way it's actually that close to the beach", but it is.
The condo itself is much more spacious than I anticipated and came stocked with everything you could ever possibly need. As a self-described germaphobe, it was clean throughout with absolutely no issues on anything. As a host, Melanie was incredibly communicative and friendly, continually making sure we had everything we needed.
The condo is situated in Maalaea which is a very small, sleepy area on the island. It's a short drive away to everything or the perfect place to just ~ relax ~ on the beach or lounge chair on the complex's grassy area. Most other Maalaea condos do not have direct access to the beach, however Hono Kai is where the beach literally starts. From there the beach stretches 3 miles of uninterrupted sand and beauty. I will definitely miss my morning beach walks and ocean swims!
All in all, this condo delivered everything and more. The only thing I am sad about is that I had to leave! I cannot wait to come back and this will be always be my go-to spot going forward. Thank you Melanie!
