This condo has it all---great water views and views of green sea turtles and monk seals. The floor to ceiling window in the living area is extra special. We watched sea turtles from the dining table. The pool is huge and the grounds are very well-maintained. The complex is quiet. Perfect for a couple.

This was my second stay at the resort. Amazing ocean views and beach access as always. Overall, a good unit, but a few areas could use improvement: the bedroom AC is quite loud, the sofa bed mattress is worn out, and the kitchen is stocked with only the bare essentials. With a few upgrades, this place could be excellent.

This condo was prefect for our family of 3. Ideal location for all of west Maui! Margie had all the amenities needed for a great trip, we even cooked a few meals in the condo. Waking up to have your morning coffee 10 yards from the crashing waves is incredible! The pool in this complex is stunning a 10out of 10. The only minor flaw is it can get quite warm in the kitchen/living room area, when there is no ocean breeze.

The property is perfect for two people. Gorgeous view of the ocean from the balcony. Condo very clean and quiet. Nice pool on grounds.

Grounds were quiet and beautiful, and only a few minutes away from amazing Kaanapali and Napili beaches. The property has an amazing view - we saw lots of turtles relaxing on the shore and whales in the distance. Also loved that parking was free since that's hard to come by at most accommodations on the island. The unit itself is pretty dated, but it's really not an issue if you, like us, aren't planning on spending much time in the room.The only con we have is the pull-out couch. The listing says it can sleep four, but really it's only three - if that. We thankfully only needed to sleep one other person which is good because the pull-out would not have been able to support two. After the second night, our party on the couch opted to sleep on it not pulled-out since it was far more comfortable that way. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay! If we go back just the two of us, we would definitely revisit this listing!

Great space with an amazing view. This is our second time staying in this unit and we love it. The property is well maintained and the pool is one of the best on the west side. Looking forward to returning next year!

We stayed at a great place on Maui. Being able to open the doors, hear the waves, feel the breezes, and see the ocean right out the doors made it a wonderful place to call home for our stay on Maui. Thank you!

We are a small family of three (2 adults and a 9 year old child) and this was heaven on earth for our week vacation. Ocean is steps from your door, small beach area with amazing snorkeling, great pool, quick drive to restaurants although we ate ally home because you can’t beat that view! Definitely will be back!

The grounds of the resort are really beautiful. The view was spectacular. The unit is small, but completely functional for 2 people. It is convenient to many top sites and places to eat. The full kitchen allowed us to by some groceries to eat in, instead of having to pay the high prices of eating out.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You won't be disappointed with this location with a beautiful front ocean view. Perfect for 2 people and the environment is clean gardens are well kept. Love the pool as most of the time you're with other adults but plenty of room for everyone.

The condo was ok. Screens on patio and door difficult to work. A bit aged. Bed was comfortable. Sheets for sofa bed were tucked in a closet. I was surprised there was no shampoo but we did have two little bars of soap. No extra toilet paper. We were just there for 1 night so we didn’t use the pool or anything else. We

The Kuleana is a lovely, oceanfront property, and this casually elegant unit is nicely decorated and overall a very comfortable place with a lot of extras that I usually bring myself but was pleasantly surprised to see and use (Tupperware, foil, and the like) in the kitchen, and regular size shampoo and conditioner. But of course, the view is the most important draw for me at an oceanfront property and this did not disappoint. Thanks to the owners for sharing their home.

This condo has the most stunning location and views! Huge windows give one the feeling of being totally surrounded by the ocean and the sounds of the waves. The sea turtles come every afternoon to feed on the lava rocks. We snorkeled right in front of the condo. Absolutely the most beautiful spot in Maui.

We had a great stay at Kuleana Resort. The condo was in good shape. The host responded to all our emails. One of the window shades was broken and did not go up. We would have liked to open that window. The sliding screen door to the lanai needs attention.

The condo was very comfortable for me and my sister. The A/C is in the bedroom and I like it cold at night, my sister slept on the futon in the living room with fans since she likes it warmer.The landscaping on the property is beautifully kept with lots of flowering shrubs. We saw LOTS of turtles in the late afternoon! So amazing. You have to climb over big rocks to get to the beaches, which was a challenge with my injured knee, but I managed and so worth it.Be sure to bring ground coffee for the coffee maker.We would definitely rent this unit again

The condo was nice, clean and in an excellent location. Beautiful view from the lanai. The kitchen was more than adequate for my needs. There was very little noise from neighbours, which is unusual in some of these complexes. Happy overall

My wife and I have been coming to the island of Maui for close to 42 years now and it never gets old. Reeny made our extra couple days special. Her place has magnificent views of the whales and the turtles eating right in front of her condo. We hope to stay here again sometime soon. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.The Bauers

The view from the lanai is outstanding. We were able to see turtles and whales just sitting right on the lanai. For my smoking buddies, the smoking area is very close and has an awesome view. The other guests were very friendly. Very close to great places to eat, captain jacks and Dollie’s are a couple of favorites.

We walked into Margie’s condo to whales breaching outside and turtles on the beach! Unforgettable views and experience and she was very responsive and helpful. We’ll be back I’m sure!

The view was phenomenal. There is a beach 10 feet, if that, from the lanai and it is like a haven for sea turtles. The first morning I awoke and sat on the lanai I got to watch a whale and dolphins. What a beautiful sight and an amazing birthday trip for my perfect husband.

March 2025

We really enjoyed our 8 days vacation at this place. Everyday we walked out of the sliding door to snorkel or to swim multiple times, because the clear water is right outside. One of my wife’s favorites about this place is everyday we went out of the kitchen door to watch a beautiful Hawaiian sunset in the evening. There is no better or more convenient location for us to do all we want in Maui. One more thing- we stayed at many other vacation houses over the years. This is the place that the photos shown on the website definitely didn’t do justice.

I expected Maui to be cool, but my first time on this island was enhanced so much because I stayed in this *perfect location* unit. I honestly didn't need to plan anything special because the view, the security, the stillness, and the wildlife was just what I needed. I'll be back!!

Perfect off site location for conference at Hyatt. Unbelievable ocean view, watched sea turtles and breaching humpback whales right off the lanai, extraordinary sunsets, pristine beach to swim in a few steps away, friendly and efficient staff, wonderful neighbors who BBQ’d together, amazing owner and propert was lush and well tended. Wanted to stay forever!

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!

February 2025

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!
