John and his wife are amazing people!
I'll start with the basics. The condo was clean and very well appointed. Everything you would need to make your vacation fun and comfortable, we had guests in other rooms jealous of our water toys. The location is unbeatable! Just steps away from a small but perfect beach with amazing waves (can be heard from the bedroom). No turtles came on the beach itself, but we saw many from the lanai, and walking the grounds (which are beautiful).
Now to the good stuff (sorry if it gets long). We got to the condo about 30 minutes before the fire in Lahaina started and we had not gone to the grocery store before we got there. So, no power and no food, panic set in. John called the next morning to check if we were ok and we let him know of our situation. He did not hesitate to let us have access to some food they had in the condo and expressed the utmost concern and love. Might be a little dramatic but this literally saved my life as I'm a diabetic and really needed to eat. His wife also called the next day to confirm we were ok.
Ty, the property manager also came through in a big way and gave me a box of protein bars to keep me feed till we could go to town to get some basics. The entire staff at the complex was amazing! Helpful in just being decent humans taking care of others and keeping us updated when they could.
When West Maui recovers we will be going back and will be staying in this condo again.
Mahalo!

As soon as we opened the door and saw our view we were so awe struck. We have stayed at 3 other locations at the Kuleana resort and this was our favorite. The place was updated and they had everything we needed for the beach which was a huge plus. We will be back.

We stayed for a week. Very chill environment. Perfect for families. We have kids ages 8 & 10 who love the outdoors. Seeing turtles in our backyard and snorkeling with them was the greatest experience for us. Note: it can get warm in the condo but a little dip in the pool or beach can definitely help cool you down so we made it work. Also, the backyard beach is rocky in most areas so be careful. Cool spot especially for snorkeling!

This was a most amazing property with everything you could ever need. The beach front accommodations were an absolute feast for the eyes. Plenty of snorkeling right on property with sea turtles, massive amounts of fish, eels and octopus to see just walking out the back door. Great coffee within walking distance and downtown Lahaina just a 10 minute drive away for a little livelier nightlife if you want it. Property was super clean and had all the amenities you'll need for your quiet stay on Maui. Best views and proximity to nearly everything you'd want. Super safe area and very private!! We'll be back!!

Under the circumstances thing went pretty well. I have stayed there many times over the last two decades. My only complaint is there was no FASHLIGHT, or CANDLES In the room. I had an accident when a gust of wind slammed the screen door against my arm. I was grateful for the time share people for help because there was no one in your office to help. On the other hand I thought it was a wonderful thing for the get together by the barbecue on Thursday.

The view and location were amazing. We watched turtles from our patio. We were steps away from great snorkeling. The place was very well appointed with a well stocked kitchen. We absolutely loved this place, and were looking forward to 8 nights in paradise. Unfortunately, one night I was awoken by something crawling on me and found a bug on my mattress. I captured it to identify it. It was a bedbug. I brought it to the front desk the next morning. The woman at the front desk took the captured bug and took a picture of the bite on my arm. She told me management would get in touch. After a bit I finally heard back that they had had the unit inspected and were told that no bugs were found. Given that they had proof positive of a bedbug, I believe management is being quite lax. This is the 3rd time that we have stayed at this condo. It really is a wonderful place but I don't regret cutting this trip short. I do not like sleeping with bedbugs! I would have rated this 5 stars if it were not for the bedbug and lack of treatment.

We are incredibly thankful we found this little piece of paradise. It was the perfect place to soak up the island life. The beach is even closer than it looks in the photos.
The grounds were beautiful and my teenagers tried all the amenities- tennis, shuffle board, ping pong, etc. We also spent tons of time in the pool.
The boys snorkeled every day and saw tons of turtles.
The condo had the best sunset view and we loved being on the lani.
The hosts were so gracious and responded quickly to questions before we even booked and during our stay.
They even had beach chairs, coolers, and beach towels to use.

Pros: Amazing view from balcony - listening to the waves, beautiful sunsets and seeing turtles everyday. Great location as it is close to amenities and other beaches. Must do - eat at the Fish Market which is just a stone's throw from the condo! Free parking and no resort fee. No problem with access and smooth check in/check out. The grounds was beautiful and well kept. The condo was well equipped with cooking equipment and spices. There were beach chairs and a cooler, which was nice, although we didn't use them.Cons:The condo needs a thorough cleaning. Although interior requires maintenance, we are not too fussed about that since it is an older condo building. However, if the condo was cleaned well it would have made it better. The floors were really dirty - perhaps bring house slippers.There was a layer of dust on top of the fridge and other "not seen" surfaces. Lights needed to be replaced as it is very dim in the kitchen and especially in the bathroom. The extremely dim light makes it very uncomfortable to be in the bathroom, especially when it is a really tight space to start.

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!

We were amazed with the view from this condo unit. Whether it's day or evening, the view is unreal. It made our meals on the balcony very pleasant and relaxing everyday. Unlike other condo units, there is no obstruction to the view from this unit (perfect location). It's a one-bedroom unit on the 3rd floor (no elevator) with a full kitchen and a small washer and dryer. It has an AC in the bedroom. It would be nice to have another AC unit in the living room as it could very hot during the day. However, opening the balcony door and the entrance door helps cool down the heat as it creates a wind tunnel effect. Beach and pool is just a minute walk away. Beach is calm and good for snorkeling. Times Supermarket and food trucks are just about 1/4 mile away. The shower curtain could use more magnets at the bottom to hold it down to the tub as there's a big draft pulling it towards you when you shower. It's a constant battle with the curtain as you shower (very inconvenient). The lack of AC unit in the living room and the battle with the shower curtain were minor issues compared to the unbelievable view you get everday. Wish we stayed longer. Will stay here again in the future.

It is peaceful and quiet, away from the busy hotel areas. There are lots of beaches and shopping within a 10-minute drive as well as a 15-minute walk from our favorite breakfast spot, Java Jazz. The Kuleana is just as great as I remember from my visits here when I was younger with my family.

A little home away from home in turtle paradise! We enjoyed cooking a few meals in the little kitchen and then walking down to the beach to see how many turtles we could spot. Each day, at least 1 turtle came up on shore to hang out and we saw several more swimming around near the rocks. I was in heaven!

This property was perfection! It could not have been in a more beautiful location. We adored the private beach and the condo's location opening right onto the lawn adjacent to the beach. We saw turtles every single day we were there! And the snorkeling was excellent. So many sea creatures! We also loved the west facing location for gorgeous sunsets at night.
The condo had everything we needed for our family of four (two adults and two teens). We cooked and ate almost all of our evening meals on the lanai. I was grateful for the coolers, beach chairs, and beach towels that were provided. The cooler was handy for packing lunches and drinks for our adventures away from the condo. The check in process was easy and we were grateful for an early check in time. We will definitely return to Kuleana next time we are on Maui.

The property has a beautiful ocean front view from the lanai. It was clean and well stocked with all of the usual appliances you would expect in your home kitchen. The bedroom is air conditioned, while the living room has a ceiling fan. Parking was easy. There's no assigned parking stall, but the resort has a dedicated lot where you can park your vehicle in any space. My only minor complaint would be about the shower head. The water pressure is insane and makes you feel like you're showering using a pressure washer. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and I would definitely book with them again.

This stay was great. We felt extremely lucky in how many turtles we saw on the beach. We lost count! It was very central to Lahaina. The AC in the bedroom was loud but we turned it off eco mode (and made it less cool to still conserve energy!) and it was fine. Recommend!!!

This property had everything we needed for a great Maui vacation. The location is excellent. Little bit slower and less expensive side of the island. Easy drive south to Lahaina and easy drive north to Napili beach (6 minutes). Lots of good food options north and south. The condo is perfect for two people. Kitchen had anything we needed, for in house and on the road. The beach set up was perfect and as pictured. Towels and playmate cooler fit the bill too. The west facing oceanfront view was spectacular, and i am not sure you could find a more relaxing lanai morning and night. You are getting full afternoon sun, and it does heat up the front room, so the lanai shade is needed in the afternoon for sure. The a/c in the master bedroom makes for a good nights sleep, but don't expect it to cool the entire unit. There are fans throughout and you can easily get a breeze flowing through the unit. The bed was comfortable, and the shower was enjoyable. The complex is very well maintained. A very nice pool, and a small beach for watching the sunset or looking for turtles. Communication from start to finish was very good. We will definitely look for the availability of this unit on our next trip to Maui.

My wife and I had an amazing 10 days for our 31st anniversary! The condo is quiet, seems recently remodeled, and has everything we needed in the kitchen and for the bbq. The foam-top bed was extremely comfortable, the reclining sofas were also comfortable, and the shower had very strong water pressure. It can get warm and humid in Maui, but the front door had a metal locking screen that allowed the trade winds to blow through the house, and that combined with the fans and water 20 steps from the back door kept us cool most of the time. At night, the bedroom air conditioning kept the room very cool and the white noise was soothing. But the BEST part about this condo was the location! It’s a corner unit and very private as there’s no beach access from the road. We loved sitting on the lanai to hear the waves or watch the sunset. We also snorkeled off the small beach directly in front of the back door, and saw 4-5 turtles every time (apparently this is a turtle habitat)! Several timeshare guests told me we had the premiere location, and we agreed! We also felt that this is the best part of the island! 7 minutes from Kapalua Bay where there is a beach trail, lots of sand, amazing snorkeling, and you can rent kayaks and paddle boards! 10 minutes from Honolua Bay, the best snorkeling spot on Maui, where the boat tours go. 5 minutes from Kaanapali, with shopping and restaurants. The beach chairs and umbrella were definitely nice to have! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This was our 2nd time at this particular property. We can’t say enough good things about it and Reeney, the owner. Kuleana is an incredible place to stay. If you get there and the beach happens to be washed out, it is still accessible and so much fun! We put our lawn chairs on the lawn and played in the water, snorkeled, and watched the sea turtles swim by. No matter the conditions. It is a great place to stay. The tiki torches at night is an especially nice touch. The unit is clean, comfortable and has everything that you will need, right down to the Tommy Bahama beach chairs! Mahalo

Margie's place was perfect for our small family. (2 adults and 2 kids age 6 and 8). Margie is an awesome host who communicates enthusiastically and gives great tips and advice.
This is one of the few condos I have seen that has a ground level private lanai up against the water with just grass in front of you and then ocean. Most other places all have the great ocean views, but you are usually separated from the ocean by common areas.or pools and concrete and gates and have people right outside your door all day. Not here, this is your own private little paradise 90% of the day.
The condo isn't the 4 Seasons, but it's very comfortable and clean and has everything you'll need for a great small family vacation or relaxing stay. We cooked meals and got food truck food and never missed a sunset. We really liked the Times Supermarket and Napili Markets (short drives) to get groceries. The Fish Market down the road were the best fish tacos we ever had!
The beach box is loaded with snorkel gear, boogie boards, inflatables, pool noodles, beach chairs, umbrellas, a cooler, etc. Only thing you'd need to rent is a surf or paddle board.
The beach was great. It's small, but not a lot of people use it and it has lots of shade to get a break from sun. We spent most of out time at it swimming with sea turtles and playing in the waves and making sand castles and just relaxing to the max.
Thank You Margie, you made our vacation a dream!

The only bummer about the property is regarding the ladder that leads you to snorkel with turtles. There was no ladder, and the coast line is too rocky to snorkel right there. I recommend the listing is updated to remove the ladder picture and selling point. That said, just swim into the ocean off the beach, and you'll get your snorkel with turtles fix.

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.

The grounds at Kuleana are stunning! The vegetation is gorgeous, and the ocean views the second you walk through the security gate is breathtakingly beautiful! The unit is nestled between the pool and the ocean, making it a prime location! The view from the lanai is incredible, and we enjoyed the sunsets, warm ocean breezes, and turtle and bird watching. Beach access is immediately outside the condo, and the snorkeling was amazing! The beach also attracts sea turtles, which we saw daily. The condo itself also had everything we needed and more! The BBQs are also conveniently close and thoroughly cleaned every day. If you're looking for a relaxing, fun, conveniently located oceanfront condo, this is the place to stay!

VRBO pictures sometimes look a lot better online than in life. I can say with certainty the picture from the lanai to the water is completely accurate. The beaches are not huge, but they are very secluded and have plenty of space to spread out. It is also perfectly safe to swim/snorkel from. Each morning at high tide we watch 5-7 turtles come in to eat right in front of us! Amazing!

We even saw a few turtles on the beach below! The resort was quiet and beautifully landscaped. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone!

We can't say enough about this place. It is so beautiful and I couldn't stop looking at the ocean right from the patio. We saw turtles on the private beach and snorkeled. The landscaping was gorgeous. We could't get in at first but someone let us in the gate, but after that no problems. I would suggest a couple more beach towels. (only 2 and we had 4 of us) But it also gave me an excuse to buy a pretty flowered one. We had a flight change and our lovely hosts let us stay later then check out so we would have a place until our flight. That was very sweet. I would recommend this place over and over again.

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!

Waterfront property, amazing small cove with lots of turtles as it’s a preserve. Nicely updated appointed condo. The property is well taken care of and landscaping is beautiful. It’s close to Kaanapali and Napili and Lahaina is just down the road. Great value for the money. Would stay here again.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. Green Sea Turtles in the water and on the beach every day. We saw spinner dolphins, and enjoyed using the lending library on site. On site staff were so helpful and friendly. It was truly a pleasure to stay at Kuleana Resort.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible Maui condo, and we cannot say enough about how amazing our experience was! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the most awe-inspiring view of the sunsets over the water from the unit's patio. It was truly a sight to behold and created some of the most memorable evenings of our trip.
The full kitchen in the condo was an absolute delight. Even though we mostly used it for preparing breakfasts, it had everything we needed to whip up delicious meals. However, with the abundance of dining options nearby, we found ourselves venturing out to explore the local culinary scene. The convenience of Ubers and Lyfts being readily available meant we never had to wait more than a mere three minutes for a pickup. The close proximity to Lahina was an added bonus, as we thoroughly enjoyed visiting Front Street in the evenings. The lively atmosphere, charming shops, and fantastic restaurants made for unforgettable evenings out.
What truly made our stay exceptional were the thoughtful extras provided by the owners. The playmate cooler became our trusty companion on many of our day trips. It kept our drinks chilled and allowed us to enjoy refreshing beverages while exploring the beauty of Maui. The beach qchairs and umbrella provided by the property were a true blessing. With a small beach right on the premises, we had the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun.

We loved our stay! Each morning we loved the glorious views from the back deck of the ocean, Molokai and Lanai. The property manager was very good at communication. The condo was advertised with everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was well equipped for all the cooking we did. We also enjoyed the wonderful pool, ping pong and shuffleboard. We saw many turtles in the water while on our deck and from the beach in front of the condo. We would definitely recommend this property.

Overall Great Stay. Condo had 3/4 view of the water. Great walk down to free onsite BBQ's. Snorkel Gear could use updating, but location to swim with the turtles is great. The sandy beach at southside edge of property and was easy to access. Nicely stocked kitchen and pantry. Shopping and Restaurants close by.

The condo had a nice Hawaiian feel, with a beautiful view of pool, tropical garden, and the ocean. It was cool enough to leave the Arcadia door to the spacious balcony open at night, (with a fan). It had convenient kitchen amenities, as well as pool and ocean gear. -Thank you Debi! The amazing garden outside was an intimate, romantic path to the ocean, leading to a big grassy area, and bbqs to grill from -while watching the picturesque Maui sunset. We played some shuffleboard in the nice Maui mist, and kids and I experienced snorkeling with some fish and seeing turtles also. Boogie boarding was fun also. We’d definitely go back!

We enjoyed our stay here so much! The condo was so so clean and comfortable! Incredible views right off the patio, steps to the water for easy snorkeling, and a great location just minutes from everything in Lahaina. We've already recommended this specific condo to many friends interested in visiting Maui!

Great view, the real gem of this property is the small shady beach where you can easily see turtles and fish. Afternoon sun is bright on the porch, but shades help. King bed was ok comfy, the four posters on the bed made bedroom much more cramped than needed. Chairs and cooler were very appreciated, excellent ice maker, bedroom only AC is noisy, we were ok as we used ear plugs. Still the view is worth it and we’d stay again. Grounds were very well kept and bbq area overlooked ocean.

Nice condo, cute beach, great snorkeling with the turtles, beautiful coastal hike in Kapalua, nearby grocery store and more. Would be nice to have a couple more grills, they get busy at dinner time, but you can have a beer and talk story while you wait. Did I mention the sunsets? Will be back again next year!

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 second floor, corner unit has incredible views in 2 directions. The lanai affords views of both Molokai and Lanai. The kitchen is well stocked and suitable for cooking a lovely stay at home dinner. And the bed is extremely comfortable! Would highly recommend this West Maui property.

We love staying at the kuleana resort, and john’s condo is the best unit we’ve stayed in there. The condo exceeded expectations in cleanliness, it was spotless and this as the first time I’ve been to Maui and didn’t see a single bug. The view from the patio is gorgeous, and it is an end unit so you don’t have people walking by the unit looking in your windows. The location of the kuleana is unbeatable, it’s in the middle of a protected turtle sanctuary and there are two small beaches accessible from the resort. The resort is very quiet and many of the other guests stay for weeks if not months, so this wouldn’t be a good spot to stay if you’re trying to party or come with a large group.

We came here to celebrate our honeymoon. The check-in wasn’t until 3pm because the cleaners needed more time so we went to the beach. Once we arrived to the property the cleaning was poorly done pretty surprised for the amount of allotted time. There is not a TV in the bedroom only in the living room. The bed is on rollers and moves very easily, it’s our honeymoon. If there are inconsiderate people above, you will definitely hear them. The laundry room costs and has a $5 purchase fee. Also during our stay one of the cables fell down because the duct tape was supporting it anymore. The actual neighborhood is beautiful but wish there was more transparency about the unit itself.

There is a small but very private beach head just at the back of the property. Love to spend time there every morning watching the waves and small crabs. A bit of a drive away from the centre of the island but also away from the busy part of Maui. 5 mins north of Lahaina Gateway Mall where there is a Safeway nearby, Verizon where we got our SIM card for our duration in Maui. There are BBQ in the common area where guests cook their meals. Maintenance staff clean the BBQ everyday. Staff in the office is very friendly and helpful.Swimming pool is clean.

The property is very nice and peaceful. The pool is great and the landscaping is beautiful. The view from the patio, especially at sunset, is great! The beach access is located near this unit so it was a little busy outside at times near our patio with guests heading to the water.
The ac in the bedroom is a little loud when it’s on at night but works very well to make the room comfortable. The rest of the unit doesn’t have ac. The breeze from the patio makes the living room area comfortable but the bathroom got a little muggy at times. Having the beach chairs and other beach toys available for our use was very helpful. The location is nice with good snorkeling nearby and the easy drive to Front St for shopping and dining options. We enjoyed our stay.
