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: 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.

Overall was very happy with this unit. Would absolutely stay here again. My only suggestion was for them to provide more supportive pillows. But loved this place!

The condo was just as advertised, with a deck that looked out over a great pool and across the grounds to the water. We watched the sun set from our balcony, although there are also plenty of little hidden spots on the grounds to take your mai tai and toast the end of the day. The condo was clean—a bit dated, perhaps, but everything functioned well and it was great to have a washer and dryer, and the amount of chairs/snorkels/beach mats/etc was appreciated!

Beautiful condo with the best view! Very clean upon arrival. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you Reeny!

Overall it was a nice interior unit. Some things slightly dated, but bathroom looked recently remodeled and was very spacious. All the doors were “sliding,” so it didn’t really protect from sound. The unit was well equipped with the basic kitchen supplies but lacked some needed cooking ingredients like spices. Additional it should be noted that there is no oven - we didn’t notice this called out in the listening, it’s likely written there, but it threw a wrench in our ability to cook meals at the unit. The view from the balcony was good, but it wasn’t quite what we expected. The unit isn’t directly on the oceanfront, there are other units and other things on the property between this unit and the ocean. While there is an ocean view it’s thus only partial, and obscured by trees and other things. spices.

We stayed here for 13 days and had the most incredible time. The condo is exactly as described and had everything we needed for our stay. The view is beautiful and even better in person than pictures can show. We sat on the lanai for hours watching whales, turtles and even dolphins in the ocean. It was so peaceful and private. The complex is very nice, well manicured and clean. The pool is wonderful and there was always plenty of chairs available. We were able to walk to a coffee shop and a general store. The area is very nice. I cannot wait to come back again! Thank you Margie for sharing your amazing condo with us!

This was a wonderful place to whale watch! The views of the ocean, waves, and turtles were amazing from the spacious lanai and living room. Secluded private entrance. Grounds are beautifully landscaped. It had everything we needed and extras like the brita water filter, cooler with ice blocks, 2 beach chairs and umbrella! Definitely the best place on Maui!

This was our first time in Maui. We were staying in a wonderful neighborhood right on the water that had lots of places to walk to. Saw whales & turtles every day. The property was absolutely beautiful - so well kept and the landscaping was breathtaking. Loved our stay here.

We had a fabulous week at this wonderful condo. Great location only surpassed by the ocean view. Saw whales from the lanai and woke up each morning to the sound of surf. Clean and comfortable. Highly recommend for a great Maui experience.

Loved having a private walk out lanai. Visited in Feb so small beach area was not avail. Beach towels were avail. Could have used more bath towels. Two were provided. Everything clean comfortable and enjoyable. We had a car so getting to from places was easier and we explored more of the island that way. Reeny was easy to communicate with. Thanks for a beautiful time. Shauna and Mike

The condo was cozy and clean with a remarkable view! We enjoyed grilling overlooking the water and the nightly whale call. We enjoyed coffee from the lanai in the mornings while watching the whales breach. We even got to surf just off the shore and swim with turtles. All from the property!

February 2025

Actual views from lanai were gorgeous - pictures never can capture the beauty of the ocean. We saw whales and turtles from the lanai. We went to bed listening to the waves crashing on shore. Doesn't get any better! The condo was well stocked, especially liked the Brita pitcher which supplied us with good water without having to purchase bottled water. They even had a first aid kit available. These are just some of the extras that the condo provided. Communication with Bob was excellent. Had a problem with the internet and Bob quickly took care of us. The property was well maintained and beautiful. It was a good week.

Very much enjoyed our week’s stay here. The condo is very well equipped for cooking, bbq’ing, and beach/pool activities. The complex is quiet and well kept, as is the pool. Parking was not an issue the week we were there, we were able to park right in front of our unit nightly. The condo is accurately advertised but we found the living area small for a week’s stay. A picture from the lanai into the living/kitchen area may give added perspective. Appliances are all new and work efficiently- super nice to have laundry in the unit. Great location and close to lots of activities - tourist and local. Communication was thorough and check in/check out was easy.

The condo was very nicely appointed. It is small, so while it can sleep 4, it would be best if it was 2 adults and two children, IMO. There were plenty of kitchen utensils, plates and silverware. The bed was comfortable. We didn’t use the AC as the cross breeze was great. Some nights there was a little road noise, but we still slept fine. I lost count of how many whales we saw. The grounds were gorgeous! There was a small beach to get your feet wet but it would be difficult to swim from it. Or stay was amazing and we will stay here again!!

Great location, wonderful views of the ocean! Visitors use caution on the northern beaches in the winter, powerful and dangerous currents! You can travel to safer beaches easily from this property. You can look up surf reports and snorkel conditions online. Mahogany!

The property manager was nice and responsive. The view and location of the condo are fantastic. We’ve been staying at Kuleana for 10 years or so, however, and this condo was our least favorite. The lack of tlc and effort put into the condo is evident. The furniture is uncomfortable and worn, the bedding and linens are worn and could use updating.The owners appear to put little effort into the condo and appear to use items that they get from thrift stores for their guests. Upon our arrival the place appeared clean however the bottoms of our feet were dirty after walking barefoot on the floors, a bathroom drawer had hair in it, the stove top had food splatter and the smoke detector was beeping. Upon contacting the property manager housekeeping returned and cleaned up the aforementioned. Upon check out maintenance had yet to replace the battery in the smoke detector. Throughout our stay the condo had an odor to it which smelled like cigarette smoke and old gas, although the owners are non-smokers, reportedly. For the cost of renting this place; all of that is unacceptable. Although this is not the owner or property manager’s fault there was another renter that was very obnoxious for most of the nights we rented. He parked right below our bedroom window and would let his jeep idle for 20-30 minutes and would then rev his jeep’s engine every time he came and went from the property; waking us up (3 am) and disturbing the peace. We would not rent this condo again!

It's exactly as it appears in the listing. The bed is very comfortable. I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the lanai doors - they were poorly cleaned and badly waterspotted so seeing out the window was difficult. Eileen was great to work with and communicated with us in a timely and efficient manner.

The condo was great - it had a view to the ocean from the lanai and we loved kicking back and watching for whales. Margie’s communication and care were outstanding!

We absolutely loved staying at the Kuleana. The apartment is technically a 3 floor walk-up, but it was more like one and a half floors, the stairways are short. The views from the lanai were simply spectacular, we spent every evening watching the sunset from our balcony. The bed was large and comfortable, everything was clean. The road outside was a bit noisy overnight, but I slept in earplugs and was fine. Only tiny issue we had was the cable in the living room wasn't working, only in the bedroom. Host was quick to respond via text. We never got it working, but were fine to watch the ocean instead. Absolutely would not hesitate to stay here again. Perfect for a couple.

We loved sitting on the patio and looking at the ocean. We saw sea turtles by the shore. The sunsets were awesome. The grounds are well maintained. The bed was very comfortable.

Great views, whale watching from lanai, memorable sunsets, very clean and comfortable…easy walk/car to restaurants and groceries.Only negatives were (1) hearing road noise from bedroom (living room and lanai were great, can only hear the waves crashing) (2) all the straps on beach chairs broken, minor inconvenience.

The property was excellent and charming. Clean and well appointed, easy communication with property manager (Miranda).We watched whales breach regularly from our room, and sea turtles swimming just below us in the water. We will definitely be looking to stay here again.My only warning would be if you are sensitive to light when sleeping, bring a sleep mask because one of the bedroom windows looks out into a stairwell that is constantly lit (and the light bleeds through the blinds). Black-out curtains here would be an easy property improvement.

Waking up to an ocean view and listening to the peaceful sound of the surf just outside the balcony door, then watching the sunset as you kick back and relax after a long day of unwinding, what else is there to ask for? The location can't be beat, with all the amenities and supplies needed for our family of four to thoroughly enjoy our stay. Thank you to Ed and the Kuleana staff for making it such an amazing and memorable stay.

This was our 2nd time at the Kuleana resort and it didn’t disappoint. We love it here. Great location to everything we like. The beach onsite, isn’t the greatest depending on tide, it’s either sand or all lava rocks. Pool is great. Close proximity to other great beaches. The place was very clean and enjoyable.Two Minor things 1. The internet in the bedroom didn’t work very well, 2. The air conditioning did great cooling the bedroom. The rest of the house stayed warm/hot Overall would recommend property and unit.Thanks for the home away from home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 3rd stay in unit #302 as it has a perfect view of ocean and like 20 steps to heated pool, however this unit is now in need of some attention. I.E. furniture, cutlery, dishes, bath tub, bed.

Our family of four just returned from an amazing week in Maui. The kids had never been to Hawaii and we hadn't been since our honeymoon on the big island, 21 years ago. This condo was exactly as advertised, especially the incredible views across the property to the ocean beyond. Peaceful, relaxing, close to everything you need- great spot. Our communication with Ed was fantastic. He responded quickly and offered so much great insider info on the island for us. I truly felt like we were honored guests in his home. A/C in the bedroom worked great when we needed it at night, but the breeze kept us cool enough during the day. The kitchen was pristine and had everything we needed. The little beach was perfect for relaxation and turtle watching. We didn't use the pool but it looked very clean and not overly crowded at all. WiFi sometimes got spotty but found if I just reset the switch it rebooted and worked fine.

Everything from pre-comunication over check-in, stay and check out was very clear and uncomplicated. We had a great time in this beautiful apartment and would surely stay again at the place. Thanks a lot to our host Lily for the great communication and easy instructions.

We loved the feeling of complete peace and quiet as you take in the vast ocean crashing before you. It is a beautiful oasis in West Maui with the best salt water Olympic sized pool on the west side. BBQs were right there and we enjoyed our morning walks to the Bad Ass Coffee Company.

The space is exactly as it looks online, the balcony is quite spacious and was our favorite place to hang out! The views are excellent and while not exactly waterfront, you could still hear and see the waves! We really enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen as we didn’t want to eat out each night during our stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, some of the best sleep I’ve had while not at home. Lots of storage space to unpack and get comfy! The area was perfect!! We loved being able to explore the island or just the beaches south and north of our location. There is a very small rock strewn beach on the property that is nice to explore or watch a sea turtle napping! The grills were spotless and great to cook on. The grounds meticulously maintained! 10/10 recommend!
