Honokowai Area

Two Maui condo buildings right at the ocean’s edge contain four different layouts in Mahana at Ka‘anapali. The 1/1s have a lanai in front of the bedroom, but the common room has none. This results in better views from the common room (if the windows are clean) and...

Though this condo building is old (1969) and the exterior relatively unimpressive, this one’s a winner and the best priced in this area. The place is impossibly close to the ocean—around 25 feet!—so rooms look almost straight down into the water. Their sandy beach...

Despite its age, this condominium had several major updates, and it's still looking good. The main building is nine stories high, and you may need to get above sixth floor in some units before the good views kick in. The best views are from the four-story low-rise...

Eleven Maui condo buildings scattered around 13 acres of pretty grounds fronting a narrow Honokowai beach. Some garden view units overlook pretty koi ponds. Putting greens, shuffleboard and pickleball here. Papakea Resort rooms have a good layout and feel larger...

This Maui condominium resort has a good oceanfront location. A reef offshore creates a fairly protected beach area, good for kids during calm seas and low tides. The ocean view from the Paki Maui pool is completely blocked by shrubs, though, which is disappointing....

A mid-'60s Maui condo building but still in decent shape. Some Hale Kai unit interiors are on the old side, some are more updated, but they’re all clean. Free rooms safes in a couple of units. There are two buildings. Rooms 101 and 102 have the best views and feel...

Wow, it’s hard to get any closer to the water than some of these Maui condo units. The Nohonani rooms ending in 03 have the most intimate proximity to the beach, around 25 feet. We can’t think of many places this close to the water in West Maui. Many of the other...

Very nice ocean proximity at this Maui condominium with a small beach (beyond a sea wall) that comes and goes. The Kulakane developer must have really loved wood shakes (or gotten a good deal on them) because they cover everything. Roof, walls—it looks like fur on...

A brick-shaped Maui condo building that’s close to the water, with a skinny beach out front that comes and goes. Some Makani Sands rooms are great, some are adequate, but all are clean. The three-bedroom units are loft style on the top floor. The pool’s in front of...

There are one-bedroom and a few studio units at this Maui condominium on a rocky Honokowai shoreline. Some Kaleialoha units face away from the ocean and should be avoided. There’s a nice lawn between you and the ocean seawall, but the pool’s in front of the...
