CONDO 322
Entering 322 for the first time is a very special experience. The stunning view of the Pacific reaches across the apartment and stops you in your tracks even before you set foot in the living room. You know instantly that you are about to have a wonderful vacation. The lanai is just 45 yards from the water’s edge and offers unforgettable views of the ocean and the islands of Lanai and Molokai. You can watch whales in season (December to April) and rainbows and sunsets unparalleled, throughout the year.
This is a very private condo. It is a top (3rd) floor end unit. There is no one above you and only one unit next to you separated by a thick block wall. There is a complete kitchen recently remodeled, with granite counters, bamboo cabinets, stainless appliances, all dishware, and cookware. The bathroom was remodeled as well with a walk-in shower, granite counter, and bamboo vanity. Parking and wireless Internet are provided free of charge. Note: There is a stairway, please see suitability below.
KULEANA RESORT
Kuleana is a boutique resort. It is not a Kaanapali high-rise, high-density type resort. You will never feel crowded. You will never have to wait for an elevator. You will never have to look up to see the sky. It is a very peaceful place. Low-rise condos are surrounded in beauty, on 4 acres lush with tropical gardens.
Kuleana has its own secret – a pocket bay, a beautiful little cove situated within the gated grounds, that is a favorite feeding ground for green turtles.
We have a very large, tiled, heated swimming pool suitable for lap swimming, a newly surfaced tennis court, and a shuffleboard court. In the lanai-like lobby, you will find a ping-pong table, an honor library, an activity booking desk, and a reception area. There is an on-site coin laundry and free parking. A popular feature of the resort is the 4- BBQ grill area situated on the ocean’s edge. Watching the sunset over the sea and the lighting of the tiki torches, while grilling, is a memorable experience.
LOCATION
Conveniently located, Kuleana is just 2 miles from Kaanapali / Whalers Village, and 3 miles from Kapalua. All provide a wide variety of shopping, dining, entertainment, and outdoor activities. If you don’t want to drive, there is a bus to take you to both for $2. Within walking distance of the resort, there are restaurants, cafes, a farmers market, a fish market (everything caught that day!) a supermarket, and even an ABC store. Kuleana is located between Kapalua and Kaanapali, which means there are four golf courses including Kapalua's PGA Tour course, within three miles of the condo and another ten courses within a 40-minute drive.

Jim was amazing to deal with. Very prompt in replies and very accommodating with our travel plans. Grounds were impeccably maintained daily. Resort is quiet and is the perfect tropical oasis to relax and unwind.

We loved this condo! Perfect for an adult couple. The view off the lanai is simply spectacular - the pool, the palm trees, the gardens, the sunsets...and amazing views of Molokai. The pool is very relaxing and the condo is functional, with nice A/C for the bedroom. And the snorkel equipment was terrific - best flippers we've ever had! It's a little inconvenient to go find the laundry, but the rest more than makes up for it. As a bonus, it's a relatively short work into Honokowai, where a few good restaurants, a nice park, food trucks and a supermarket await. A great stay!

Loved everything about our stay at this condo... the location, the view, quiet, extras included (condiments, snorkle gear, pickleball padlles/balls, etc, etc, etc. We come to Maui several times per year and this condo will definitely be our first choice.

This is a great little condo. Beautiful view of the ocean, very clean and comfortable. There is an air conditioner in the bedroom but not in the living area. We just opened the large sliding doors to get the breeze. The kitchen had everything we needed. You do have to climb stairs to get to it. Great location. We would recommend.

This property is a gem! The view of the ocean upon entering the condo is spectacular! The condo is very clean and well equipped with everything we needed for a weeks stay! We enjoyed the reference book with listings of favorite restaurants, beaches, hikes golf info and more. You cannot beat the beautiful balcony for breakfast and happy hour! We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at the condo. It was well equipped with kitchen items, towels for both pool and beach and the beach equipment was great! We used the snorkels, masks, chairs and cooler with no issues. The ac in the bedroom stays COLD so for those that want it cold when sleeping you will have no problem. The view from the balcony is incredible and the property grounds are beautiful. Owner was super easy to communicate with and responded always very quickly. Would definitely stay here again.

I guess I didn't read the condo description carefully because we were disappointed that there was no a/c in the living area. Other than that it was good. Location was great and it was clean.

We had a WONDERFUL time staying here. The location was wonderful and we loved how private the condo was. Jim was the best host and so responsive. The beds were very comfy and the the condo was nicely done. I would definitely stay here again.

Condo is great for two people. Bedroom stays cool with AC and ceiling fan. You can get a slight cross breeze if you open the front door and patio door. There is a white book on the living room table that will answer all your questions. The local town is nice and I would suggest Safeway for food shopping. Prices are high for food along with gas prices. Traffic was quite heavy during our stay and TSA at airport was a two hour long line. Condo property is very well kept and the pool is cleaned daily. We would definitely stay there again.

A great unit at Kuleana with all the amenities a vacation chef would need! We enjoyed spending time on the lanai both day and night, awesome views from this condo!

This is a great little place. It has a good little bedroom, a very nice bathroom with a large, modern shower, updated appliances and a lanai with a beautiful view. It was very clean, well kept and was everything it was advertised to be.

Unit was clean and well equipped. Only downside was the unit was a bit small and no storage for groceries. Beautiful view from lanai and close to everything we l planned to do. Hosts were very helpful.

This property was a perfect place for my husband and me to stay while celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in Maui. The location was optimal... close enough to everything we needed, but far enough away from the larger resorts to make us feel like we were in a more private boutique condo. The hosts had everything we needed at this condo... chairs, snorkels, fins, boogie boards, umbrella, and even pickleball rackets! The air conditioner in the bedroom was the ticket too! We're already talking about staying here during whale season because we feel certain we'll see them swimming by from our lanai!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Very clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Nicely decorated. Access to Beach and snorkel gear. The grills located on the ground was a nice place to cook and watch the sunset. The views from the patio were stellar! Communication with the host was great. Hope to be back soon!

We loved our stay here - would definitely recommend! The condo was clean, bed was comfortable enough and it was equipped with everything we could need from snorkel gear to kitchen utensils to laundry detergent. Being on the 3rd floor makes the view spectacular! Pool is just below on the ground floor and the ocean is a few steps away so plenty of opportunity to swim - if you go in the ocean, you’ll likely be swimming with some turtles. So many turtles! In the evenings, as everyone settles down, you can clearly hear the ocean. Location is excellent (Honokowai) between Kaanapali and Kapalua and close to Lahaina’s Front St… easy access to but a bit separate from resorts and chaos.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. We watched the ocean during the day and listened to the waves at night from the balcony. The location is about 10 minutes to Lahaina, where there are lots of activities to enjoy and good places to eat.

The location is great with on-site parking and a pool. One side of the living room is all mirrors and the balcony has great view of the ocean and the swimming pool.

Really nice property with a beautiful ocean view. Binoculars for watching whales from the balcony and all the beachware (chairs, boards, snorkeling gear etc.) for use you can think of. Fully equipped kitchen was nice too and all very clean. Thanks Judy and Jim for the wonderful stay and the suggestion of Kapalua Bay Beach for snorkeling, it was amazing.

The views, the location, the property, the amenities….everything was perfect. While this is a small one bedroom it was the perfect size for my husband and I. Had everything we needed! The proximity to stunning beaches and Lahaina Town was just right. The pool is great, fantastic BBQ area and we thoroughly enjoyed the beach area. My husband LOVED relaxing on the large lanai and soaking up the lush tropical views surrounding us. We would absolutely stay here again!

Was perfect location for vacation. We were able to snorkel right out front of property with turtles that were out there every single day. Centrally located with Lahaina 10 minutes away and a snorkel hotspot also about 10 minutes away. Room was clean, everything you need in the room, etc. we would definitely stay here again when we com back. 10/10

Great location! Beautiful sunsets and beach right outside the front porch. Very comfortable bed! The AC unit works great! Could not have asked for a better place to stay. Very neat and clean! The owner of the property is wonderful to work with and is very helpful with anything you may need. This place is a must visit! We will be staying here again sometime soon.

We stayed in this unit in July. There were 2 of 10 people in our party. Jim was so great to work with. He answered all of our questions and his unit did not disappoint. It was beautifully updated and had everything in it that we needed for our 4 night stay. Of the 2 units we rented, his was the nicest. We overlooked the pool area and since we were upstairs, we could also see parts of the beach and take in the beautiful sunsets. The turtles right outside the resort are amazing. And having a ‘private beach’ that is only shared with a couple of other resorts is so nice-no crowds! A couple of things to note-getting down to the beach can be a little tricky if you have mobility issues or really young children-you do have to navigate some rocks. However, I suppose you could just sit up on the grassy area and use the pool instead, if that was the case. If you want to get away from the crowds, and enjoy some Maui paradise in a super quiet setting, this is the place for you.

What an amazing place with a beautiful view of the ocean and sunsets! It was decorated very nicely, with a comfortable bed, a fabulous shower, and everything we needed to enjoy the beach. We were so happy with this place and hope to stay there again someday!

What a beautiful place to stay. It was our 35th wedding anniversary and we could not picked a better more romantic place to say. The views are spectacular. The accommodations were perfect for my husband and I. The facility was greatly located, And very calm and quiet. It was an easy walk to the beach and the pool facilities were great. We would definitely return to this location. The house was very accommodating. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

My daughter and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay on our first ever mother/daughter trip. The condo had everything we needed, was extremely comfortable, and had the most amazing view. Also, the grounds surrounding the condo were gorgeous. If we ever get a chance to go back, I’d like to stay here again.

We loved everything about our stay at this property. The property itself was beautiful and welcoming, and the condo was even better than we could have imagined! It was clean and well-appointed. We really appreciated the variety of kitchen utensils and all of the beach equipment! We appreciated all of the hosts' suggestions in their condo guide, too. I can't imagine we'd book any other property during our next trip to Maui.

Jim and Judy’s property is absolutely perfect. A peaceful oasis after a tough year. My husband and I absolutely enjoyed every piece. From watching the sunset on the lanai to being 10 minutes from the best beach and snorkeling (Kapalua Bay), we couldn’t have asked for a better property to stay at. Everything one would need during their stay was provided. The condo was clean, well-maintained, and cool. We absolutely cannot wait to come back!

I booked this condo because of its proximity to a beach within walking distance and easy water access. I’ve been going to Hawaii for 30 years and easy beach access by foot is a must as I spend most of my time in the ocean. We usually stay in Kihei or Kaanapali but decided to give this area a shot. In the pictures and location map it showed multiple beaches on the property but when we got there those beaches were completely covered in giant lava rock boulders. You couldn’t even enter the water with the rough waves crashing on the rocks and the lack of sand. In addition, the condo was extremely hot. There is great AC in the bedroom but even running it while the bedroom door was open the rest of the condo was uncomfortably hot. We ended up only staying one night instead of 4. We really want some kind of refund, this was supposed to be part of our honeymoon and it was disappointing. The pictures and location maps were deceiving.

Loved this upscale, beautifully updated townhouse with stunning views. Everything you may need is there and generously appointed with quality furnishings and high end kitchen items. Grateful to find pots and pans that have not been damaged by guests using metal spatulas. Knives that are sharp! Lovely. Beach toys! Soft thick towels.

If you are looking for a great condo from where you can watch migrating whales, surfers, great sunsets and plenty of rainbows, this is your place. The condo comes equipped with everything you need and the owner is super receptive and accommodating . Highly recommended!

We had an amazing stay. The condo is exactly as advertised beautiful and fully stocked. The turtle beach was so beautiful and we had several turtles come up on the beach with us. The grounds are pristine and you feel like you are in your own private paradise!!! We will stay here again in the future!!!

We loved the views from the lanai. No elevator so carrying all the beach gear (umbrella, chairs, boogie boards, cooler and ice packs) they provide is a bit of a hassle. Parking is available but we arrived late and didn't get our pass until the following morning. We received a note (as predicted based on reviews)asking us to get the permit but it was not intrusive. The unit is a little dated but only cosmetically. Everything worked well. We used the window air conditioner for sleeping to keep the street noise out and keep it cool. The laundry room is in the complex so a little more work and its coin operated. The condo provided tide pods! When I couldn't find the beach towels Jim replied immediately via email and offered to get us more towels if they weren't readily available. I had asked some other questions of the owner and he was prompt and provided info as best as he could The beach was almost non-existent at the complex. There were many rocky outcroppings with one ladder to get into and out of the water. Lots of big rocks on the beach which made swimming & turtle sighting impossible. It may be seasonal but we had to go elsewhere to swim and snorkel. Nice grills set up for residents. There were some very small little ants (or other insect) in some of the kitchen cabinets but it is Hawaii after all. Nothing scary, big or even bothersome but worth noting. There were no other bugs or pests!

If you are visiting Maui, this is the best place to stay! The place is well equipped, communication with Jim and Judy is quick and effective and the view is just astonishing. It feels like home and you don’t want to leave. Highly recommended for everyone looking for relaxation

Lovely small beach with turtles everywhere. Incredible views from everywhere on the property, And especially lovely to grill fish down at the grills provided at the edge of the ocean for Sunset view.

This condo has the great views and location as advertised. We enjoyed having the beach and pool so close. A red- headed cardinal came to visit while we had breakfast on the lanai. We liked the recommendations in the binder for nearby activities. The internet had been turned off, and cable was not on right setting and property manager sent a technician within 30 minutes to correct these issues. Communication with owners was excellent during rental process. This property is recommended for a couple .
