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 or any other unit in Honua Kai which is zoned Hotel. Honua Kai is much too expensive for long term tenancy which is why literally nobody lives or will live at this resort full time. Tourism represents the vast majority of Maui's economy. 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 65 inch 4k Samsung hung on the wall. In early 2023 more upgrades were made (see pictures):
1) New sleeper couch.

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.

HONUA KAI PAINT PROJECT: Exterior painting is ongoing on the exterior of the Konea building but our side of the building is done and the project should have little or no impact on your stay.
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!
