The views from this remodeled and upgraded (April, 2013- Present) ground floor direct OCEANFRONT unit are spectacular, with the clear blue-green ocean vista and radiant sunsets over the islands of Lana'i and Moloka'i. Step off your lanai and you are only 25 feet from the ocean where turtles feed in the rocks just steps from the Magic Beach! Located in the Kuleana resort with only seven 2-3 story buildings, enjoy the best of Hawaii with it’s tropical beauty and unsurpassed views. Kuleana is considered one of the most beautiful and impeccably maintained oceanfront properties on West Maui, offering luxurious living in a peaceful, serene setting. Seasonal humpback whale watching is available directly from our lanai using the high power binoculars provided in this unit (or take an even closer look with a Pacific Whale Foundation cruise from Lahaina harbor). In addition to the multitude of sea turtles, other sea life such as dolphins, manta rays, eagle rays and monk seals can be seen right outside your door. The property has two beaches and a sea ladder, all providing easy entry into the crystal clear ocean for snorkeling in the private snorkel cove, surfing, paddle boarding, boogie boarding (yes, the waves are good!), kayaking or simply relaxing in the water. A coral reef exists straight out from the property, enhancing the snorkeling, surfing, kayaking, and boogie board activities.
This unit was purchased in April, 2013 and completely remodeled as our second home and vacation rental in paradise. All new tropical furniture and decorations have been added to compliment the softly colored walls and insure complete submersion in the Hawaiian experience, with careful attention given to comfort, safety and storage. The top of the line plush firm Cal King bed in the bedroom provides relaxing comfort and support while being lulled to sleep by the distant sounds of the ocean. Although the ceiling fans in the livingroom and bedroom are usually sufficient to pull in the ocean breezes and keep the unit comfortable, the bedroom has a new air conditioner that's large enough to cool the entire 500+ sq ft interior space on those few days in the summer when it's hot and/or humid. The bedroom has ample storage for personal belongings, with a large mirrored closet, mirrored dresser and 15 inch high bedframe to allow storage of large suitcases and extra linens under the bed. The open and well lit bathroom has a large vanity with marble counter/sink and vanity to ceiling mirror, as well as an adjustable makeup mirror. The full size shower with solid glass door has a built in seat, which together with the ADA compliant toilet provide ease of access for older occupants. The kitchen includes lots of counter space with the built-in island, as well as all the necessary appliances (fridge/freezer, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, toaster, coffee maker, blender), glassware, dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, storage containers and non-perishable foodstuffs for those who want to prepare some of their meals themselves (or at least morning coffee and evening Pina Coladas). There is a small table with two chairs next to the kitchen for inside dining (or working on puzzles or other table based games), but we enjoy most of our meals on the patio table and four swivel/rocker chairs on the lanai. The livingroom has a comfortable queen size sofa sleeper (with 6 inch thick mattress), two swivel rocker easy chairs, coffee table and end tables with adjustable lighting, as well as an entertainment center with an adjustable 40 inch wall mounted HDTV (with premium HDTV programming, WiFi and streaming from Netflix and Amazon).
The grounds, nearly 4 acres in size, are second to none on West Maui. They contain a myriad of meticulously manicured, lavish vegetation along with paths on which to stroll the property. There is a large, heat-controlled pool to sun, swim, and relax. Barbeques reside at the ocean’s edge, providing an unsurpassed setting for cooking while watching the sunset. There are a multitude of on-site activities to enjoy, including tennis and shuffleboard and ping pong. The resort lobby has extensive library for your reading pleasure, as well as a concierge for booking your luaus and sightseeing trips.
Why pay the high prices for a room in the popular hotels in Kaanapali, Kapalua or Wailea unless you prefer distant ocean views, crowded beaches and eating every meal at expensive restaurants. Our luxurious Kuleana condo is ideal for anyone who wants to control their budget, activities and privacy to suit their own tastes.

Right on the beach! You can walk to the beach or drive 5 min down to the popular resort area. Place was clean and the view is INCREDIBLE. Watched the sunset every night on the private porch

Great stay. Comfortable condo. Fab location. Only thing that would make it better was a couple of additional beach towels.

We stayed here during the week when Lahaina was burned down to rubble. We were not able to change our return flights so we stayed for the whole trip. It was a devastating period of time for the locals who were heavily impacted. For us, it was both heart-wrenching and heart-warming. During our stays, we met more locals than tourists, with whom we had awesome conversations and supported each other. The property is in an excellent location. We enjoyed the beautiful sunset every day. It is literally a few steps away from the ocean and the kids swam every day. We also spotted green turtles. It is only a few minutes' drive to the other beaches including Kaanapali and Kapalua Bay. Local stores and restaurants are all within walking distance. The condo is nice and clean. It has AC in the bedroom, ceiling fans in both the bedroom and the living room, and one upright fan. However, when the power went out, we realized that we actually didn't need them. We left both the front and back doors open and the wind was cool and nice. Supplies in the property are sufficient. There are grills in the property complex so even with no power, we managed to eat well. We were very touched that Kerry refunded our payment as we didn't expect it at all. He has also set up a GoFundMe account and made donations to the Kuleana employees and their families who lost their homes. It was an unusual and unforgettable trip. We want to send our thankfulness to Kerry, our neighbors and the volunteers. Mahalo!

Our family has been coming to Maui for years and we love this complex. Stayed in this condo multiple times and always had an amazing experience. Will be back again :)

Pros: This place is a dream beach view house ..it combines the beach view with the garden view with ocean view and also you can see the mountain of the other island in the view.. this place had it all and it’s very quit .. inspiring and entertaining . The neighbors are very nice and they’re not nosy . You can stay in front of your place without finding someone bothering you or sitting in front of you or hiding the view. That was contrary to my expectations! Cons : Although it was clean but it had a lot of ants .. very small and fast and bites a lot ants. So it was not very comfortable but since we don’t stay all the day in the place , it was adaptable situation. Over all Very recommended.

Had a blast staying here for a week. We got to snorkel with turtles every day and met many interesting and friendly condo owners and renters. The unit provides a low key experience with beaches that are never over crowded but quick access to all the amenities the resorts offer near-by. Unit was clean, well taken care of, and had beach equipment to use. The proximity to the beach cannot be beat!

We stayed here for six nights and had a very good time. Condo was clean and as described. Bed was very comfortable and bath was clean and updated. Kitchen was also clean and had what we needed. The property overall is well-maintained. Both kitchen and bath had supplies like condiments and first aid stuff which was appreciated. The closest beach is small but awesome. Tons of turtles and good snorkeling. Fairly active surf so you have to pick your times to go in -- high tide had very high surf. The renters next door were on the loud side, but not the owners fault. Just luck of the draw. The entry doors and lanais are very close to each other so if the neighbors are noisy, you will hear them. . Had stayed in the same building 2 years ago and had no issue. The front desk is also helpful if it's a problem. Bathroom had no body wash or shampoo dispenser so BYO. Also, kitchen sponge was left from previous renters and was very smelly. Used pool and laundry which were clean and well-maintained. Overall, a great stay!

Location, location, location! We booked a condo because we were taking a longer (more than 2 weeks) vacation, it's close to amenities, and because we knew from experience that this is a superb snorkeling spot. Condo is ocean front, with sunset views and lighted torches every night. This is an attractive condo, the property is well maintained, and the beach areas are both excellent snorkeling spots. The AC unit and fans were a plus and the bed worked for us. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking and the grills outside worked great. Everything was as expected and our stay was marvelous!

This property is beautiful, it has everything you need and checked all the boxes for us. We expereicned whales, turtles, great snorkeling, surfing and breath taking sunsets - all just outside their patio doors. You are close to all the amenities you need. We stayed April 7-14.

Clean condo with fully equipped kitchen. Location, location, location!! Quiet, best view on Maui. There are turtles and whales every day that you can see while sitting on the lanai.

Location is fantastic. You are right by the ocean. We spent most mornings and afternoons on the lanai just experiencing the ocean. Kitchen was well equipped and clean. One thing that was listed wasn't available to us, but we texted Kerry and he replied right away with a solution! This was a wonderful vacation and we will definitely be back!

Perfect size for our family of four! Felt like we had our very own private beach that was never crowded only 30 ft away! Sleeping and waking to the sound of waves every day was mesmerizing! All the amenities included made our stay that much more enjoyable! The location was a short drive to our daily activities! Not enough words of gratitude but that we plan to return! Thank you Kerry and Lynne!

The condo was fair and acceptable. The ease of access to the beach and great snorkeling should be advertised more as this will keep me booking the same spot again and again for that experience. This condo is unique and valuable for the ease of access to the non crowded and quiet beach. Overall, my wife and I were pleased.

Perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans to cook. Loved having the first floor location with access straight out the slider to the beach/ocean. My kids slept in and I sat outside on the patio. The beds and the couch were very comfortable. I would love to stay in that same unit again. It was perfect for me!

Amazing view. Condo was very clean and extremely easy to find everything you need. Cabinets all labeled made it so easy to use kitchen. Had a minor issue with one appliance. I notified owner and was answered back in minutes and issue taken care of immediately. Definitely recommend this beautiful home anytime.

This is the perfect location in this quiet, well kept and low key resort! We love the Kuleana and 702 was the perfect choice! Turtles are 16 feet away! Communication was excellent and the condo is very furnished with all you need! So appreciated the chairs and pool items! Mahalo! Wonderful!

Nice location and nice facility. Small, about the size of a suite at a hotel, but not a problem. Small beach, bit hard to reach if you were older or had a disabilty. Ground floor 40 feet from the ocean. Great seeing the sea turtles.

We stayed with our two young kids. We appreciated the pack n play and full kitchen. The location is beautiful and convenient to restaurants. We swam with the sea turtles and even saw some whales swimming in the distance. The property is very safe and everyone was friendly. Highly recommend!

We just got home from Maui yesterday and we are already planning our next visit. We had the best time and highly enjoyed our time at this amazing property. We saw multiple whales and turtles every day, and even had the rare sighing of a Monk seal on the beach just down from the condo. We were able to snorkel right out in front of the property and our kids had a great time in the ocean and pool throughout the day. The unit was very clean and the hosts are very accommodating. We really appreciated having the beach toys, snorkel gear, chairs and boogie boards available for our use throughout our stay. The location of this unit is perfect and the grounds are well kept and quiet. We watched many beautiful sunsets and made many memories as a family. Thank you for sharing your place with us. This was truly the best vacation!

This propeety was just breath taking! From the moment we walked in, our eyes were drawn to the stunning view and the whales jumping just outside our door. We snorkled in the day and saw a varierty of fish, coral, and even a few sea turtles!! The location was central and convenient for jumping on to the highway. The apartment had everything indicated in the description including all the basic seasonings. We cant wait to return again and tell everyone hiw amazing this place is. Although, maybe not so we can keep it a secret for us! ;)

Property was advertised as having a beach. According to the locals, their has not been a beach here for 2-3 years. The property has been under electrical upgrades for almost our entire stay. The unit was not very clean, grit all over the counter. Towels are old and need to replaced. Bedding is old and pillows are badly stained. AC unit is very loud. You get enough toilet rolls and dishwasher soap for about 5 days. Owner will not provide anymore. We were told to buy our own if we needed more 2 weeks. Fridge is noisy and the handle was falling off along with the toilet seat was falling off The unit is cramped. Really only accommodates 2 people so don’t come with kids. Outside chair cushions badly stained. Overall the unit needs to be cleaned up and refreshed with new supplies. Loud noise in stairway every morning with people coming and going. Usually starts around 630 am Not recommended

We had such a wonderful time staying at this location. Loved seeing the seat turtles every day and watching a stunning sunset every night. The complex is on the quieter side, but everyone is still friendly and kind. It is Hawaii after all. So thankful we got to stay here.

Our condo (702) was very comfortable and had a beautiful, unobstructed view of the water. We stayed for 4 days but unfortunately we had a lot of wind.

We had an amazing time during our stay here for our honeymoon. It was clean, many nice updates to the place and the AC in the room made a difference during the warm nights. It was nice and quiet and all the guests around were friendly and considerate. You get a great balance of privacy and community here. The ocean access and beach view are absolutely stunning and a major highlight of the trip. You are literally steps away to the beach from your lanai and can sit out there to watch the sunset or just enjoy the ocean view. We saw sea turtles and swam with one during one of our snorkel sessions out there! We are also close to other great snorkel spots (Honolua Bay, Napali Bay, Kapalua Bay) and Whaler Village/Lahaina Downtown for great restaurants. There are always parking spots here as well. You will not regret staying here and we will definitely stay here again when we return.

My wife and I stayed for 6 days and this was the perfect condo! We loved being able to walk out the lanai and just take a few short steps to the private(ish) beach. We would definitely come back!

Second time staying at Kuleana. The place is amazing. Property managers and condo owners Kerry & Lynne were easy to communicate with and super helpful. The condo was clean, cozy, updated, yet modest – exactly what you want, imo, when staying steps away from the ocean and a great private pool. Our girls (6 and almost 2) were in absolute heaven. And, just like last time, the guests around the place, owners and vacationers, were friendly and fun to be around. You get both privacy and community at Kuleana, without having to deal with the crowds and partiers. The location is great, too. Tucked along a beautiful stretch of beach in between the large resort areas, Kuleana / Honokowai, is its own little slice of heaven, w/ easy/quick access to organic groceries, restaurants (The Fish Market; The Farm Market!), food trucks, and a few minute drive north and south gets you to much more. We'll be back, no doubt.

My husband and I stayed here for four nights of our Maui anniversary vacation, and it was an amazing experience! We swam with sea turtles just outside our lanai and the best sunsets we saw on our whole 9 day trip were from right here at the condo. We would most definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

My wife and I rented this place for a week in May and it was such a great experience. Saw sea turtles by the rocks each day, the porch was fantastic to drink coffee on in the morning and the location was close enough to get to any type of attraction but also far enough away from the crowd. Overall an excellent value for the price point and we will definitely be back!
