Please read this before you book. The following is in reference to the Lahaina fires and 2024 Winter/Spring painting of the exterior of the Konea Building.

Please understand that if you come and stay with me that you will not be taking a room from a displaced family or that you will be taking resources from victims of the fire. Right after the fire, me and the owners I represent placed victims of the fire in our units free of charge. No questions. It gave them a safe place to think and they knew they would need to find a longer term solution. Most have done that. A couple still need some more time and they will have that. I will not kick them out for a paying guest, so if the unit shows available then it’s available because the family in it found a longer term solution.

What to expect:

Keep in mind everything north and south of Lahaina is intact. That said 85% of Lahaina Town is gone. So when you drive in via the Lahaina Bypass you will see some damage. Once you come down and get back on Honoapiilani Highway and go past Safeway (which is open now) you will see what you have seen on TV. It’s bad, but there’s nothing you can do but support those people now.

Depending on when you are coming there may still be displaced families at Honua Kai as the Resort really stepped up more than anyone else in offering temporary housing. The ones that work will be understanding and grateful, and this does not need to be said but we all just need to be respectful of one another.

We hear all the time how much people love Maui, how they leave a little bit of their heart in Maui when the leave, and how Maui allows their family to connect or re-connect. The truth of the matter is that Maui needs you now more than ever to come and support its people, its shops and its restaurants. That said I understand and respect that some people may see it differently, so everyone needs to make their own choice.

PAINTING

The HOA is going ahead with the exterior painting of the Konea Building. The painting has already began on the outer units (not the interior courtyard which is where your unit is located). They are painting the exterior of the building and not the interiors.

The tentative timeframes are:

Konea 707 May/June 2024

Konea 403, 503, and 703 April/May 2024

If they are actively painting your lanai you will not have access to your lanai from 8 am to 4pm Monday thru Friday. Painters don't work weekends or holidays. The lanai furniture has to be wrapped in the plastic covering provided during the work hours. The guest is responsible for replacing the plastic covering on the lanai furniture if they remove it. So, you can use the lanai before and after they paint for the day, just not during.

They will access the exterior of the building and the unit lanai's via a booms and not scaffolding. At the end of the day they lower the booms.

Here are your options: If they will be actively painting during your stay you can cancel for a full refund at any time prior to arrival. If you do not cancel and they are actively painting your unit’s lanai during your stay we will apply a 25% discount to your rate for those days. We will know when they are actively painting because the painting company will have signs on the lanai doors reminding us that they are painting.

As we learned from the painting schedule for the Hokulani building last year, the Konea painting schedule is tentative. It is somewhat of a moving target and tends to be delayed. The rates have not been discounted on the current calendar. If a refund applies then we'd issue that during your stay for the days they are actively painting.

I will do my best trying to keep you updated with information I receive so you can make the most informed decision.

BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE. Aloha, my name is Joe Devane and I am a licensed Real Estate Broker in the State of Hawaii RB-18850 and the owner of Kai Malina Properties, LLC (RB-22032) here in Kaanapali. We are licensed and insured.

I WAS THE DEVELOPER'S REAL ESTATE BROKER AT HONUA KAI FROM 2009 to 2016 when we sold out! I am also a licensed attorney in both Hawaii (Bar No. 8295) and California (Bar No 178241)(voluntary inactive). Disclaimer: Never wire money as a form of payment. If the rate seems to good to be true, it is.

This explanation may help since Honua Kai can be confusing. The construction of the Luana Townhouses is 100% complete, Honua Kai is now 700 individually owned condominiums that belong to a Homeowners Association. Honua Kai is not a hotel. Every owner chooses to either use the onsite management which is now Outrigger or they choose an outside rental company (ORC). Outrigger is not the "Resort" they're just the onsite managment company. Now they own the front desk area and some other areas at Honua Kai, but all guests have access to the pools, restaurant, stores, Spa, fitness center and concierge

Please take a look at our photos and you'll see that they are actual pictures of the unit and upon your arrival you will say that the pictures do not do this place justice.
