The unit was right on the ocean. It is not a swimming beach but home to turtles and close to the whales. The unit was very clean and in very good shape. I think the mattress could use an upgrade but other than that everything was perfect. The location was excellent, the pool was wonderful and we had a dishwasher and laundry unit in the condo. Very convenient.

Everything was just like advertised. Ideal location. Friendly people. Beautiful pool area. We watched the whales jump from our patio which was amazing. The grounds were well maintained. Regretfully the weather was rainy and cloudy. The resort area had 56 inches of rain in March. Hopefully Mother Nature will be more cooperative next trip.

We loved our stay at this property! We especially loved sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view of the ocean. We even were able to see some humpback whales swimming by, the baby doing full breaches over and over, right from the balcony. Absolutely magical! The kitchen was well stocked (we cooked several times). The bed was comfortable. There was even a diffuser for the hair dryer ( a big deal when you have curly hair). Laundry facilities came in handy after a rainy trip to Hana and muddy wet clothing. We hope we get to stay again!

This place was exactly as expected. And just what we wanted. Many hours were spent on the lanai whale watching wave watching and sunset gazing. The grounds were beautiful. We would definitely come again or recommend.

Our confirmation, sign in condo, everywhere said coffe starter pack. Wake up first morning at 3 am and NO coffee starter pack. Big fail. I could have easily brought my own or stopped and pruchased, but I relied on you. Big Mistake!

Good location. Not far from shopping and beaches. Quite resort. Big pool but no hot tub. We knew that when we rented. The host was great at communicating. The condo was amazing! Wonderful view! Needs a couple serving spoons added to the expansive selection of items in the kitchen. We will definitely be reserving this condo again. Thank you for a wonderful vacation experience Lily!!

Loved the location so much! We will be back. The snorkel in both sets is faulty … I ended up renting from snorkel bobs. The snorkeling with turtles in front of property was excellent. The property is so well maintained and the guests are all respectful and friendly…

Yes, we did have a nice ocean view and I absolutely love the pool. The one thing I didn’t like about my unit was it did not have a stove and also there’s no common area we had 10 people, and there was no place for all 10 of us to eat we had to drag tables and chairs out of the condo to be able to even fit 10 of us. There’s no tables by the barbecue. There’s no tables by the pool except for little ones that you can put like a drink or your suntan lotion on I’ve never been to a pool where they didn’t have any umbrellas. Everybody was trying to get this one little tree that had like four chairs in the shade. They need to have larger tables with an umbrella, so people can sit out there and visit instead of having to sit in the condo was ridiculous. I’ve never been to all the condos. I live on the big island. I’ve been to so many condos here and in Maui and I’ve never not seen larger tables out by a pool and never have. I never seen any place for a group of people to get together to enjoy a nice dinner. That’s my biggest complaint. They have this nice grassy area they could do something with and it just sits there with nothing on it.

The unit is so darling and is in the most lovely location! Right outside the lanai is a Honu sanctuary. The unit was very comfortable for my daughter and I. The king bed in the bedroom was comfy and had A/C. My (23yo) daughter slept on the pull out sofa to listen to the waves every night and she said it was comfortable.The ONLY real criticism would be, the floors needed to be MOPPED. Our feet were kind of grungy walking around barefoot. Everything else was clean.

This condo lived up to its location, layout, and amenities as described. The condo was clean, well maintained, and nicely decorated. The comfortable king size bed and bedding were certainly appreciated.The Kuleana resort, overall, is a special property offering its own unique and tranquil environment. The only inconvenience of this stay was having only one key for two people which lets you into the property and the pool. This left no room for autonomy, both entering the pool, and leaving the resort independently. While the property management was professional and quick to respond they were unable to rectify this. It could be fixed by providing two keys.

We absolutely loved our time here! The location is nothing short of magical — we watched whales and sea turtles from our balcony every single day. What a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience!The unit was spotless, super comfortable, and perfectly stocked for an extended stay. Having an in‑unit washer and dryer was such a luxury — it made everything so easy and completely stress‑free.We also loved how close we were to several gorgeous beaches. Just a short drive and we were in paradise!And Lily… wow. She is an amazing host — incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely accommodating. She made our stay feel effortless from start to finish.We would come back in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommended!

Our stay at Kuleana Resort was truly wonderful and exceeded our expectations. We especially enjoyed the beautiful pool and the well-kept BBQ area, which became a special gathering place each evening as guests came together to watch the sunset. There was such a warm, welcoming community feel—some evenings even included live music from fellow guests, which made the experience feel incredibly unique and memorable.We loved the easy access to the beach and the fantastic snorkeling right onsite. Seeing so many sea turtles along the shoreline was unforgettable, and being able to whale watch directly from our lanai—watching humpback whales breaching in the distance—was simply magical.The resort is perfectly located for exploring the island, making day trips convenient and stress-free. It’s also thoughtfully equipped for preparing meals at home, which added to the comfort and ease of our stay.We would happily return and highly recommend Kuleana Resort to anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic getaway with a true sense of community.

We had an amazing stay! Despite the weather, high winds, power outage, we were very comfortable in our home away from home here in Kerry and Lynne’s condo. It was very clean and comfortable for us and our two young kids. They made sure we had everything we needed. We saw whales, turtles and even rays from the lanai. There was plenty of green grassy area in front of the unit for our boys to play and it felt very private. The neighbors were all extremely nice and kind too! I would highly recommend the Kuleana and this unit. Thank you!!

The condo is in great condition. It was so relaxing to sit on the Lanai and watch turtles and whales (bring your binoculars! ) and listen to the ocean. The grounds are beautiful on the ocean-facing side of the property. There were plenty of beach chairs, beach towels, and even a couple of boogie boards. The kitchen was well-equipped basic dishes and cookware in great condition. The condo was clean, and the a/c was running when we arrived on a very warm day. The furniture is comfortable.We received our check-in instructions a few days ahead. Questions were answered promptly and politely. Check-out requirements were very easy.Things you should know before you go:The condo is steps from the ocean, but it's not a wide sandy beach. It's rocky, and the sand comes and goes with the waves. Some pictures show a small beach you can step down to. When we were there in February 2026, there was a short but steep climb down to sand when we arrived. By the time we left there was no sand at all as a stormy ocean had carried it away. There are lovely sandy beaches a short drive away. The parking spaces are *very* small, and we had rented a large-ish vehicle. There was always parking available, but it was often difficult to maneuver into. All in all, we had a lovely stay even during a big storm, and we look forward to returning. We would totally stay in the same condo.

The host was very pleasant and responsive. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. The view of the ocean and pool was wonderful and we were able to see many whales from the balcony. The pool is nice and there is a small rocky beach that you can sit on during low tide. We actually 3 turtles come up on the beach while we were sitting. It was a very nice place.
