We took a last minute trip to Maui and got so lucky finding this delightful unit. It was a perfect size for two adults. The microwave wasn't working, but we didn't really have a need for it. The view can not be beat, and we enjoyed the relaxed feel of the small complex.

Easy access and even got a bit of help at check in from a very nice maintenance guy. View from our lanai was spectacular. Quiet and enjoyable as always. The grounds were beautiful and clearly maintained with care. Two minor things,Beach access for snorkeling was a bit harder now, but certainly still was doable. The natural gas grills were great for seafood, but it was harder to get them really hot to sear beef. Overall, a wonderful place to stay yet again.

This was a great place to relax. We have stayed here 3 or 4 times before and all rooms in the 400 building have been wonderful. The kitchen was well equipped and the chairs and bed comfortable. It is close to a grocery store, coffee shop and Papi Ohana (best cimmanon rolls). The staff is outstanding.

A great stay as always at Kuleana, this time in #414. Great ocean front unit with a tremendous view. Wonderful pool and sandy beach out front with lots of turtles. Hoku in the office is always very helpful.

I did not like the lanai. Big concrete walls on each side. I felt closed in. View was fantastic. we didn't have a vaccum. I borrowed the one from the condo my grandson stayed in. I respect other peoples property..never been there before it was good security was there and some nice lady happened to be just coming in the parking lot. They both helped us.

The resort is superior to other resorts in the area. A large pool, beautiful beaches, friendly staff in a great location.the only negative would be that the sofa and chair in 414 is very uncomfortable. The bed was very hard as well. We brought the outdoor furniture into the living room because it was more comfortable than the chair.

Amazing location just above a sea turtle sanctuary. Loved watching the turtles and hearing the sound of the crashing ocean waves. The grounds are meticulously maintained and beautiful.The only very minor negatives are - there is no hot tub on the property. And the bath mat was dirty and should be replaced.

This condo had it all. A great view of the ocean, the bed was comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed. The staff was friendly and kept everything nice, the pool guy was there daily to check on everything. Overall a great experience.

Very nice view, the apartment has everything you may need, close to good coffee shops, grocery stores, and seafood market. Only thing we found a a ball of hair in a shower, and mess under the bed with an almost dead cockroach.

We have stayed in this unit twice before. Very familiar with it. Loved it. First washer dryer. It is there but locked behind doors. To wash clothes have to pay for laundry with coins machine which was broken. Tell us there is no access in description of property. Garbage disposal went out, and AC remote went out. Cannot get fixed over weekends. Place was dirty. Owners should know.

We had a wonderful time! Views are beautiful and property is well maintained! Front St. was a short drive away and many other small restaurants and beaches were within walking distance. Only complaints are that the bed was a little too firm for our liking and when the upstairs neighbor opened their sliding doors to go onto their lanai it was ridiculously loud, sounded like booming thunder in the condo every time. With that being said, we’d still recommend the location to people!

Reviewer Comments:
Overall stay was ok. The view, sunsets and ocean sounds on the patio were awesome. Liked the location. However, we are light sleepers and the A/C window unit in the bedroom is really loud. We couldn't use it while sleeping so we heard the neighbors out the bedroom window, beside us and below us. They constantly scrape the chairs which sound like thunder. The front door lock was challenging to open the first couple of days. The afternoon heat is felt in the back in the kitchen and living room as there is no a/c there. Good little beach next to complex and views of turtles near the shore. I loved having the beach chairs available. The grounds were well kept. Miso Phat sushi nearby was good, but long wait times even to go orders.

This is our 3rd trip to Maui staying at different properties each time.
Pro - we had a very late check in. Great communication with property and a night guard that took care of us promptly.
Pro - the grounds were well manicured, pool area nice with many chairs.
Pro - condo was well stocked with the necessities. Bonus were great beach towels, a couple beach chairs and a boogie board.
Pro - the view - directly on the ocean. Keep in mind (and we knew this from pics before we rented) the lanai walls are deep and restrict your side views a bit.
Pro - close enough for us to walk to some local restaurants and shops.
Con/Pro - day 1 of check in we unfortunately noticed ants in a few places. Contacted management and they had ant traps in place within a couple hours. Also they were doing a full pest spray of all condos the day we left so you know they must keep on top of it.
Con - the parking. I'm sure they're trying to fit in as many as possible but the spaces are so narrow it was difficult to get in and out and one day we got a warning ticket for parking on a line. If you have a large vehicle or aren't a parking Pro this might be concerning.
Suggestion - add another boogie board and maybe a beach umbrella. We also would've liked an inside deadbolt for added safety.
Different for us - this condo wasn't direct from an owner but a property management group so we had to sign a contract outside VRBO - something I've never had to do. No issues - just different.

414 at The Kuleana Resort was the perfect getaway vacation place with island breezes, stunning views and a truly relaxing vibe. Island style upgrade was exactly what we were looking for. With the BBQ pit, pool and parking within easy reach and local markets a short drive away, this was the best condo location. The scents of gardenia, plumeria and pikake in the air completed the scene for us. Mahalo nui loa to the grounds staff, security and front desk for their smiles and service. We got to know a few of them and appreciate them very much.

The Kuleana Resort was quiet and peaceful, the condo was comfortable (loved the king size bed), the ocean view was gorgeous, and our access to snorkeling with turtles was right outside the condo. The location put us conveniently close to many snorkeling beaches and hiking trails, and Lahaina through Napili offered many restaurant and entertainment choices.

We could only get one tv to kind of work and even that one had no access to any decent channels. Worst TV experience of any rental I have ever used. Hopefully this problem is mostly in unit 414, not the unit we wanted, but we heard horror stories from other guests about their tv also so work on that.

You can’t beet the view! Turtles everyday,Rainbows and listening to the waves but it is far from being upto the standards we are used to for a rental. It looks old needs lots of maintenance. I fixed the screen door changed a light bulb as soon as we got there. The kitchen was poorly outfitted without even 1 coffee filter. They hid the extra roll of toilet paper so well we bought some at the store. The bedroom fan makes all kinds of noise and needs to be replaced it is unusable

I’m a repeat visitor to Kukeana. Each unit varies based upon owners furnishings and uogrades. Great views in oceanfront units but frankly most units have a nice outlook of some sort. Directvoceanfront units like this one are very private unlike other complexes with lounge chairs on lawn in front of beach. Only exception may be the building nearest where there is sometimes a small beach depending upon surf. (Sometimes guests sit in front of these units nit realizing there may be people losing their privacy. However all beaches are public in Hawaii so there shouldn’t be an expectation no one can walk in front of your lanai. . Beautiful grounds, well maintained. Unit was very clean with comfortable supportive bed. AC in bedroom (only) works great for needed summer days. Great whale watching. BBQs facing ocean nice to meet other visitors and chat while cooking. Tiki torches are lit from sunset to about 8 or 9 pm. Nice romantic touch not found in many condo complexes (just hotels) Friendjy staff. Knives were very dull so I’m donating a sharpener to the unit. All in all a great place to stay. I would return.

Very enjoyable. There were a few problems however. The living room light kept turning on and off by itself. The radio in the bedroom doesn't work and we had problems with the TV remotes that required unplugging and replugging the TV and cable box. It would be nice if there were two beach chairs {one was broken, but usable} and un umbrella for use. I left an umbrella the last time we were there but it was gone.

We have been coming to the Kuleana Resort yearly for the last eleven years, so we are definitely fans of the location and the property itself, particularly the 400 building. We had always chosen ground floor condos previously, and were pleasantly surprised at how the second story condo improved views of the near shoreline and the turtles as they fed each morning. As to 414 specifically, it is a nicely modernized and comfortable unit. We appreciated the kitchen island very much as we usually cook our own dinners, and the furnishings were adequate and comfortable. The bed is large and comfortable, and the bathroom clean and inviting. We'd happily stay in this unit again in the future.

We love this location and all things maui. One of the beach chairs should be replaced and the beach towels need replaced. Would be nice to have more TP than 2 rolls for long staying guests. Other than that nothing could beat the sunsets there. Lots of dishes but we only cooked breakfast. The bed is hard for my taste but we have a plush mattress with a pillow top. New ac unit worked great.
