What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 259 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Travelers love this small, oceanfront condo complex for its unbeatable setting and relaxed, community vibe. Lanais sit just steps from the seawall, so expect nonstop wave sounds, vivid sunsets, and frequent turtle and seasonal whale sightings right from your balcony. The location on West Maui is convenient and low-key: walk to food trucks, coffee, markets, and small beaches, with top beaches and snorkeling spots a short drive away. Many guests return year after year.

Condos are individually owned, so style varies, but many reviews praise clean, comfortable units with well-stocked kitchens and handy beach gear. The pool fronts the ocean, BBQs are popular, and snorkeling off the property’s reef is a highlight. A standout theme is warm, responsive service—on-site managers Debbie and Tony earn consistent raves for friendly, proactive help and smooth check-ins, contributing to the “feels-like-family” atmosphere.

Things to know: this is an older, low-rise property and not a luxury resort. Unit condition can vary by owner, and there’s no elevator (upper floors require stairs). Some bedrooms near the road get early-morning traffic noise (plus island roosters and occasional trash pickup). Not all units have air-conditioning—most rely on trade winds and fans—so heat-sensitive travelers may want an AC-equipped unit, as lofts can run warm. The shoreline is rocky with limited sand at high tide, though sandy beaches are close by. Laundry is typically shared (coin/app). If important to you, confirm AC, recent updates, floor level, proximity to the road, and ask about any ongoing maintenance projects before booking.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family has been coming to the KulaKane since the '80's and always enjoyed our stay. One of the things special about the KulaKane was the "Aloha Spirit" and that was missing as the traditional Conch blowing and Friday pupu was not there. We made our own. Next door did a better job of creating a tradition.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed in both 1/1 and 2/2 condos over the years. Starting with your initial contact with Debbie by email or phone is always reassuring that you'll be properly taken care of. The condos themselves sitting 50 ft from the seawall and cleanliness are always a wonderful start. Like the title says The Kulakane Never Disappoints.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed many times at this property and I will stay again. But not in this unit. The regular manager was out the week that we were there, and she is very attentive normally. The bed was so horrible I had to sleep on the couch for a week. I thought it was one of those adjustable air mattresses so I looked everywhere for a remote control. I emailed the info desk and never received a response. Additionally, I don't feel like the unit was cleaned very well. There were ants/bugs in the kitchen and bathroom, which do go away with normal spraying treatment. I gutted the kitchen and scrubbed the entire thing and sprayed for ants and mostly they went away. But I found several areas that had crumbs under a table and it just wasn't cleaned thoroughly. I think this happened partly because of the extreme amount of furniture and pillows loaded into this unit. It was stuffed full! I ended up packing half the furniture and pillows out of the way so I could be comfortable. It was just too much. As I've said, I have stayed at this property multiple times and the management and location is outstanding. But this unit needs some help.

This is a great room in a great location. Quiet and peaceful. Everything was clean and nice. Everything we needed was there, including beach chairs, beach toys, etc. Our favorite part was the balcony. We loved seeing and hearing the waves crash and seeing sea turtles daily. The only thing we didn’t love was that it was very hard to get the room cool and it never got as cool as we would have liked it, especially the upstairs bedroom. You can’t put the thermostat below 72, but it only got down that low one night. Most of the time it stayed in the upper 70’s upstairs. But overall I’m very happy we stayed here.

Everything was very clean. Was a bit outdated. No AC but fans got me thru. Not luxury by any means, but for the price, cannot beat the view.

Condo is in a great location right on the water. property has not been very well Taken care of and needs a lot of repair work. very dirty carpets, cabinets in the kitchen are falling apart, doors can’t close or stay closed, twin mattresses are hard, broken window that won’t stay open, small thing like the can opener, doesn’t work and knives that don’t cut,etc. Has so much potential.

We saw whales and dolphins from the balcony! Very peaceful location. Note, this is an older building so you may hear the upstairs tenant (which was noisy at times). Otherwise, the area itself is quiet. Couch pullout is a little noisy, but quite comfortable and larger than the bedroom bed. Great bbq grills, and easy access for early morning snorkel before high tide.

This was our 2nd time staying at this property we loved it the first time it was an easy choice to come back and stay again! We enjoyed many nights playing dominoes on the lanai watching turtles play in the water so close and whale spotting in the distance. The location is awesome with so many great local food places within walking distance. And shout out to the Property Managers who were always so quick to respond when we had questions. Mahalo!

The door that brings you outside at the lahaina was broken with a label of not to open because the guide splits in two. The reason of booking this place was because the view was great but I could not enjoy it.

We enjoyed our stay. We were on the third floor, so it was a little difficult with our luggage, but totally worth it. We got to watch whales and sea turtles from our balcony. There was a cooler and beach chairs for us to use and everything you would ever need in the kitchen.

The ocean view from inside or out was exactly what I wanted. Sunsets and rainbows! Fall asleep to the sound of ocean waves. Take a short walk for food options or coffee. Short drive to shopping. Management quick in responding to questions.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed in Unit 309 at the Kulakane many times. It’s a great location, near stuff, but not too near stuff. It’s a very well maintained complex. Beautiful landscaping and a nice little pool for cooling off. I love that it is ocean side, many are not. The condo itself has some new lanai furniture and it is nice and comfy. The kitchen has everything you need and then some. my only issue with complex is the noise if you are sleeping in the smaller bedroom. The condo is right on the street and folks like to race on it in the overnight hours. Very loud! Screens also need replaced in this unit. It is also time to replace the mattresses. Overall, it’s a great place and I WILL be back!!!
