Oceanfront Maui Condo 3BR – Snorkeling with Turtles in Private Cove

**Honokeana Cove Unit 217 – Oceanfront Maui Retreat w/ Turtle Snorkeling**

**Overview**

Oceanfront Maui condo at Honokeana Cove—one of the island’s most remarkable snorkeling destinations and home to daily sightings of Hawaiian green sea turtles.

From the moment you arrive, you’re steps from calm, clear waters perfect for snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. This fully renovated 3-bedroom retreat blends modern island design with one of West Maui’s most unforgettable natural settings.

Walk to nearby beaches and some of Maui’s most loved restaurants, or take a short drive to Kaʻanapali or Whalers Village for shopping, dining, and additional activities.

---

**The Space**

Fully renovated by Architectural Design and Construction Inc. (ADC Maui), Unit 217 was designed as a true island retreat—warm, intentional, and elevated in every detail.

From the custom hickory staircase to the loft design, bathrooms, lighting, and furnishings, every element was hand-selected specifically for this home. The result is a bright, comfortable oceanfront condo that feels both refined and relaxed.

Set as an upstairs corner unit in a secure gated complex, it offers added privacy, cooling trade winds, and views overlooking Honokeana Cove.

The cove is a great location. The condo is clean, secure and comfortable. The rental, check in and Checkout process are clear and easy. The sunset from the deck is limited. Walking from the condo to shops and restaurants is not easy due to no sidewalk. The vibe is older adult or family. Again the cove and access to the cove for snorkeling or paddle board is awesome.

Absolutely amazing!

The five of us were thrilled with our accommodations! The property was beautiful and we swam with sea turtles within 15 min of being in the cove. We loved every minute of our stay and would recommend Honokeana Cove to everyone planning to visit Maui!

AMAZING visit!

Our family had THE BEST time staying here! The condo was clean, well-located, and had an amazing view overlooking the cove. We had the absolute honor of getting to see (from a distance) sea turtles who had come by to sleep on the shore. The hosts were very commutative, we had a very small hiccup getting into the home initially but they were extremely responsive and were able to help us out quickly! Highly recommend!

Family vacation

We loved this small and friendly condo development. It was so much nicer than the other surrounding properties which are large and impersonal. The property is beautifully maintained (gardens, pool, and community BBQ are spotless). The cove is a lovely spot to snorkel or paddle board so long as the water is calm. Napili beach is a short walk away with a wonderful swimming beach.

So Wonderful, Just Tough To Sleep With Outside Noise

We loved the condo, the warm pool on the property, and swimming with sea turtles and incredible fish right in the bay. We loved hikes to sandy beaches. Our only concern was that we had no AC and so we needed to keep windows open and we could hear the neighbors, the loud birds, the garbage disposal truck picking up trash, and the cars driving by. This made it tough for some of us to sleep at night.

Family friendly place!

We were having a wonderful time at this family friendly place. Easy walk to beaches and the cove had the best snorkeling. We saw lots of turtles. Sadly, our stay got interrupted by the horrific wind gusts and devastating fires on Maui. We had to evacuate. We would definitely return to this place in the future. The owners were so accommodating and very communicative.

All that is advertised and more

Honokeana Cove did not disappoint. It is a very short walk to Napili Bay, and the cove is overflowing with turtles. During the late afternoon, the rocks of the cove are littered with large turtles sunning themselves. It is a little tricky getting down into the cove, but the snorkeling was worth the trip. It is in a good location, not fare from markets and shops. The unit itself was very lovely and comfortable. The pool was also very well maintained and we found ourselves lounging in the pool in the late day hours recounting the days adventures. Definitely would recommend.

Such a delight!

Our stay at Honokeana Cove was absolutely wonderful! Graham & Carrie were wonderful hosts & quick to answer any questions I had (& I had a few)☺️ The condo unit was spacious, we had 5 adults & our 1 year old granddaughter with us. It was very clean & nicely updated. The cove, which is steps away from the condo was so much fun to cool off in and see an abundance of turtles and fish. DO NOT, & I repeat DO NOT hesitate to book this unit. You won’t regret it! Thanks Graham & Carrie for a wonderful stay. We will most definitely be back! Mahalo, Meadows Family

Turtles and teens

The floor plan was perfect for us. The 3 bed loft with bathroom made life with 3 teenage girls a breeze. The 2 downstairs bedrooms offered private retreats for my husband and myself and my son and daughter-in-law. Snorkeling in the cove was some of the best I have experienced. Beautiful fish and turtles everywhere. Our host was very informative and helpful. In fact, we couldn't seem to get the coffee maker to work and he offered to ask someone on island to find one for us! If we return to Maui would stay there again.

Great Location

This was our first time to Maui and we weren't familiar with the different areas, but were told by friends to stay in Napili Bay. When I went to book, this place was quite a bit more than other places somewhat nearby. Having not experienced any of the other properties, I can't compare, but I can say, we are very happy this is where we landed.The little cove that's right down stairs was not only the perfect view from the unit, but we swam with the turtles there, almost every day of our stay.While we did drive to other parts of the west side, quite a bit, we also walked to the nearby restaurants and beaches in Napili and loved the surrounding town so much.The kitchen amenities in this unit are great and there is a good amount of space with the 3 bedrooms. With 6 people there's not room for everyone sit in the living room and watch a movie, but that's ok, the kids usually went to their rooms when it was time to relax anyway.The only thing we weren't prepared for was the lack of toiletries. While there was a small travel size shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom, that wouldn't have suficed for 6 people, for 10 days. We were also only left a couple roles of toilet paper, so had to purchase toilet paper at the store. This may have just been an oversignt by the cleaning crew, but when traveling, these are usually provided.Our only critism of the property is that's it's very dusty. At surface level things are clean, but fans, doors, etc. are extremely built up with dust.

Turtles turtles turtles

Turtles turtles turtles We have stayed in the villas at the ridge multiple times. We have trekked to the beaches and bays to swim sun snorkel. This was out first time at the Turtle Cove. The condo is a perfect home base well equipped and appointed. The front room is a very airy breeze cool relaxing retreat. By 7 am the street it faces is busy but we wear ear plugs so it never bothered us. The second bedroom was perfect for my son and the two rooms are divide by a nicely remodeled bathroom. The loft up stairs had three twin beds and its own bathroom. That provided extra room for my daughter and her guest. They slept cool, quietly, and away from morning sun rise. The kitchen has spice rack salt pepper vinegar and full pots pans lots of glasses and plates silverware. Even a Ninja blender! The rental comes with beach towels and beautiful near full view of the cove and relaxing space on the balcony. The living room could seat more and you can stream all apps via their remote or we used a connected laptop. The rental also comes with some beach chairs and a few things to enjoy the sand and some snorkel masks but we brought many of our own snorkels gear. The star of the rental is the cove and how we easily went out and explored saw turtles by the dozen swimming or sun bathing on rocks every day! The owner is very responsive and early in the rental week sent full instructions. He was kind and hosted well out stay. The entire place has some owners on site or frequently vi

Super host! Excellent communication! We contacted Graham before the VRBO reservation window because we were planning our 50th anniversary trip with our family. He held the days open for us & offered to email us when it was time to reserve with VRBO. Shortly before our stay he sent us a very comprehensive guide of things to do, restaurants, groceries, snorkeling gear rental, etc. The property access, check in & check out instructions were easy to follow. The unit was roomy & well appointed for a group of seven. The location perfectly situated to enjoying snorkeling, boogie boarding, swimming & walking the coastal trail without having to get in the car.
