Honua Kai consists of two towers, Hokulani on the south and Konea on the north. Hokulani was built first and as of this writing (fall 2014), the vacant lot next door remains yet to constructed but speculated to be built out soon by the Westin.
Click on the links below to view the complete site plans for both towers and all floor plans for Konea and Hokulani towers:
The map below is a GENERAL guideline and is for orientation only - in a property such as Honua Kai floor plates can vary from floor to floor, as such a general guideline may be useful for orientation and navigation purposes but it is not meant to be all inclusive.
The Hokulani tower was the first to be built and offered for sale. It is a U-shaped structure with odd numbered units being inner courtyard and even-numbered being outside perimeter. It is a tan-colored building and has the 'main' lobby. On the first level is the ever-popular Aina Market, featuring high-end products such as pastries, coffees, beverages, and more. The on-site sales office is located on the ground level - contact us to make arrangements to view both developer units and resales (remember, being represented by a Realtor member of our team does not incur further costs yet assures your interests are protected at all times). At 8:30 each morning, the koi fish pond in front of the Hokulani tower is host to a family favorite, the fish feeding ritual. With underground parking and valet parking, Hokulani owners and guests enjoy convenience and security. Being closest to Duke's and anchored by the largest pool on the premises, Hokulani is typically 'busier' and what some may consider more family-oriented. Access to Lower Honoapiilani is convenient and there is a beach access walkway on the southern edge of the tower. Interestingly enough, the '13' stack in the Hokulani tower is the ONLY stack of 1 bedroom units in all of Honua Kai which face the courtyard.
The newer of the two, Konea towers is known as the 'quieter' of the two structures and has a higher appeal to adults than its counterpart, the family-friendly Hokulani. The lobby of Konea is very welcoming and open, with the courtyard anchored by a picturesque fire pit (see it at night, it is simply phenomenal). On the ground level, one can find the Hoola Spa (which now offers in-room services), the fitness center, and the front desk. Owners and guest meander through the central pathway to the lazy river pool or conveniently walk towards the activities hut. Konea has an underground garage but some criticize its tight turns and narrow lanes. There is a parking area for the exclusive use of the 3 bedroom villa owners and additional storage for kayaks, surfboards, etc. (larger water activity toys not easily accommodated inside units). The AOAO recently purchased the remaining commercial space and there is speculation that it will lease the space to a restaurant - long believed to be a high-end sushi bar. The slide is in front of the 01/02 stacks of Konea, on its southern front edge, and it is opened until 5pm. There is a public parking lot and washroom to the north of Konea, which allows convenient public access to the beach, Honua Kai on-site amenities and the Kaanapali Beach walkway.
What included in the maintenance fees?
The Homeowners Association Fees cover water, refuse, contribution to reserves, insurance, sewer, maintenance/repair of common elements (elevators, parking garage, pools, fitness center, bbq areas, etc.), basic cable, landscaping, pest control, and HOA management. For information regarding the current
Is parking included?
Each Honua Kai unit includes the right for each owner to use an unassigned parking stall. Owners of a 3-bedroom residence enjoy the benefit of reserved parking in the underground garage. However, guests are liable for a $12 per day parking fee.
How is electricity paid?
Each unit is sub-metered and the AOAO bills each unit separately based on its usage. Built with energy-efficient as one of the founding pillars, these units consume less energy than comparably sized condos in other properties, such as Kaanapali Alii or The Whaler.
What are my options if I want to rent out my Honua Kai condo?
There is an on-site management program administered by IHKHM. However, there are a number of reputable off-site property managers who have proven to be quite successful in managing units within Honua Kai while offering a larger profit to owners. Contact us for more information on recommended vendors.
If I choose not to participate in the IHKHM on-site rental management program, what will be different?
There are many aspects that will be different, but this answer is not all inclusive: Guests of IHKHM units are able to charge expenses (Duke's, Activity Center) to the room, enjoy property-wide wireless service, and are charged a $25 resort fee. Contact us for more details.
What are the rental rates for these condos?
There are a number of factors that directly affect the rental rate, such as the size of the unit, location within the complex, view corridors, floor level (with many families preferring the convenience of being ground-level) and time of year (with the Xmas and NYE holidays commanding by far the highest rates). Through a perusal of VRBO, one will note that rates can vary from the low $200's to well over $2K per night. Contact us for detailed projections for a specific unit.
How much are property taxes?
For owners who use their unit as short-term vacation rental, the property tax rate is $9.37 per $1K of assessed value - this is effective for the 2017-2018 Fiscal Year and it is subject to change in upcoming years. Contact us for the latest information.
Is there additional storage available?
Each unit has its own owner's closet, in addition to which there is storage in the P level of each tower, where owners can store large items such as kayaks, surfboards, paddleboards, or similar. There is a fee for this add-on value. The owners of 3 bedroom villas also enjoy a locker in a fully-secured room.
What is all the talk about the Spa?
Hoola Spa opened in 2013 and became a great value-add to the Honua Kai resort. The spa offers Maui's first salt room - the theory is that breathing particles of salt aids in cleansing the lungs from pollution and air-borne bacteria - and additional 5-star services, perfect for unwinding after a long day of water sports or a joyful day of well-deserved relaxation.
Where are current owners from?
