Things were certainly different this year after the fire. Totally enjoyed supporting local businesses, but it will be our last year. FIMA pricing us out.

We love staying at Kuleana and have stayed at this property multiple times. It feels so private, tranquil, and friendly compared to some of the other larger resorts. This was our first time on vacation with our 8-month-old infant and this unit exceeded our expectations! It has a fantastic direct oceanfront view and the largest one-bedroom we’ve stayed in with plenty of room for the pack n play in the bedroom. Miranda was the best host, so quick to respond and accommodating. I would stay here on any trip to Maui in a heartbeat.

Good stay, There is no beach access, photos with sandy beach are dated, beach is no longer. You can cross the rocks and get into the water to surf or go snorkelling, good snorkelling right outside. Turtles in front of the property every morning and sometimes up onto the rocks. The pool was warm, the property was very well maintained. If you have kids, no pool toys or balls in the pool, noodles only. Our unit was dated but most looked updated. Overall no complaints really. Grocery store is 3 minute drive. The parking is good, but the made the stalls so tight you can barely get out of your car.

We loved the amazing ocean views from the lanai! We saw whales breaching and turtles. The sunsets were awesome! The condo is very clean and nicely equipped. King bed was comfortable. There is a large community pool and nice BBQ grilling area. Margie is a great host. She is very communicative and responsive with questions about condo, the area or information about your booking. The location is close to great restaurants, outdoor activities and shopping. We had a short visit and wished we could have stayed longer!

We stayed here for 5 nights and loved it.
Pros: quite neighborhood. close to shops and beach
cons: the beach is not swimmable with rocks. this is with no fault of the owners as it varies because of the tide.
The washer and dryer is not in the building, but it is easy to use.
It would have been nice to have some basic supplies such as salt and oil for cooking.
The AC in the bedroom is very loud. Also with the location where the unit is located, there is a lot of outside noise of cars and other tenants.
overall a great stay. would have appreciated more information on best places to visit and things to do.

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.

This property was just perfect. Condo was the closest one to the water, the pool, and the grills in the entire complex. Very comfortable bed, even the pullout was good for our daughter. All the needed dishware was included, we especially used the electric water pitcher & French press, although there were a multitude of other coffee brewing machines. Located within 1 to 3 miles of everything you would want to do including Luau's and water tours. Many beaches to choose from. Was nice to help support the rebuilding town of Lahaina as well.

We had an excellent stay in Kuleana 605. The check-in instructions were very thorough. The condo was very clean with nice appliances and a modern yet beachy vibe. The grounds were kept very clean and manicured. The folks working at this location were friendly and helpful and it felt very secure. The ocean decided to remove quite a bit of the sand in the northern beach area but the snorkeling was still great and lots of surfing going on just south of the property. It was surprisingly warm for December and were thankful of the AC at bedtime. We had a wonderful stay! A huge Mahalo to the wonderful people of Maui and their huge hearts!

The views, the landscape, the location, all great but for me the best thing was the large swimming pool. Big enough for laps. Wish it was open before 9 am, but other than that, pretty darn perfect!

We loved our stay here. The view out the patio to the ocean is just beautiful. We loved opening up the door and watching and listening to the waves come in. We were there during whale season, and could lounge on the lanai with some binoculars and watch the wales breaching in the waters. Sea turtles were also swimming around the rocks below. Just an amazing spot!
The neighborhood was great as well. We found Bad Ass Coffee just down the street, which had amazing coffee. There's also Miso Phat Sushi up the street, which had amazing sushi. Both within walking distance. It was also a quick drive to Whaler's Village and Kaanapali Beach. Just a great central location.

Really had a great time! The property is tucked back and away from the beaten path! It felt like its own little piece of the island. Communication was great during the questions about the area reopening after such a terrible loss due to fires. That being said, this property was physically unaffected. We will be back on our next trip to West Maui!!

We love our trips to Hawaii and the Kuleana is one of our favorite spots.This is a fabulous property. Well maintained, beautiful grounds, great pool, and right on the water's edge. It definitely has the feel of "Old Hawaii". That being said, what makes it even more enjoyable is this corner unit. Lovely view, many interior updates, and very comfortable. Sunsets from the lanai were a sight to behold!! We will definitely be returning in the future.

This property has beautiful Hawaiian vegetation, palm trees and lit tiki torches throughout. There are turtles on the beach. Our 1BR condo on the 3rd(top) floor is very well kept, with super cute furnishings and decor and a large lanai. And the ocean view is spectacular. The pool is clean and the perfect temperature as well. We would highly recommend this property.

Reviewer Comments:
The Lani table pictured in your advertisement is a safety hazard. Unlike the outdated new-like picture, the current metal base is very rusted and presents an extreme hazard for cuts and infections or even worse.The bedroom has two major issues. The chain activated light switch on the ceiling fan doesn't work. So, whenever the fan is on the four lights are also on.The material on the old corner chair is flaking. These flakes then get on clothing, on the floor, and bedding.Destination Maui Realty needs to ensure that their rental properties are safe, well maintained, and depict a Resort.

Thi sis my third time staying at the Kuleana Resort. The staff was friendly and always greeted you when they passed by. The grounds were immaculate, as was my unit. I didn't use the grill this time, but upon inspection it was clean and ready to go. I received two calls from the management company. Once a few hours after I checked in asking if the check process went smooth, it did. I was also able to check in early. Then about midway through my stay to make everything was to my liking. They have everything you need for a great stay.
Dollie's is a local hang out that has good food, and fair prices. The staff was great too! It's maybe a mile north of the resort, next to it is Miso Phat, a great sushi place. They do not serve alcohol, but you can go next door and drink it with your meal.
I didn't see any children and I was okay with that, but that doesn't they weren't there. All and all, this is a great place to stay and I highly recommend it. And be sure to check out Slaughterhouse Beach. The best beach on Maui!

Great location and views from the deck, its small but has king bed and worked good for us. Beach was small but that comes and goes. Kinda hard to swim out front due to rocks. Turtles galore overall we loved it. Just far enough to be private and close enough to be just a short drive to everything.

We were traveling for our 30th wedding anniversary. The property was exactly as advertised and a wonderful stay. The images from the property are accurate. Amazing views of the beach and ocean! It was so nice to relax on the balcony and listen to the waves. We also saw many sea turtles right from the property.
The property was clean and the bed was very comfortable. These are very important to us when traveling.
Eileen was an amazing host. She gave great beach recommendations and was extremely accommodating with us on our stay. We had a later flight so she allowed us to check out a little later which was very kind.
If we ever get a chance to return to Maui we will try to book here first!

Prior to arrival, I messaged the owner asking if we were able to check in early, but unfortunately I had to jump through another hoop and contact the property manager, Maui Condo and Home (no number was provided by the owner). We were dealing with an exhausted toddler, so we thought it would be a reasonable request since it was less than an hour before check in, but didn't even bother doing the research to find the number since I had to help with our little one.
Problems:
1. Dirty dishes, cutting boards, and silverware
2. Updated shower is not updated. Hopefully they can update it by providing a showerhead that isn't supposed to be used at the local beach showers.
3. Poor communication between renters and property management company. Left a message regarding a missing ceiling fan remote and issues with operability, but never was recontacted.
4. Extremely dangerous tile on the lanai (patio) due to how slippery it gets when wet
5. No beachtowels provided to dry off appropriately at beach or pool
Lastly, we were disappointed when we were charged $63 for numerous towels and bed linen that were supposedly stained. Due to extensive construction on the west side, there is a lot more red dirt than normal and it is affecting the condos along the lower road. Because of the red dirt sticking to visitors' feet, white towels are subsequently being stained. Sadly, this owner and property management company will continue to charge renters extra as long as red dirt is in the air.
