Right on the ocean watching sail boats and turtles from lanai. Unobstructed. Very comfortable and well appointed unit plus great information from our host. Mahalo

We had a great stay in west Maui! Location was great and the unit was just as described. Would recommend to anyone who wants a quiet spot right on the water, but with easy access to west Maui attractions.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible apartment in Maui, and we cannot express how much we enjoyed our time there.
The location is fantastic. The ocean front lanai offered breathtaking views. We were there in December and saw whales right from the comfort of our own balcony.
The apartment itself was immaculately clean and tidy, the kitchen was well-stocked and we appreciated the attention to detail in providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay (e.g. beach gear, extra garbage bags and toilet paper, Tupperware, ziplocks and foil, dish soap etc)
Communication with the owner was excellent, and they provided clear and detailed check-in instructions, making our arrival seamless and stress-free.
In conclusion, we couldn't have asked for a better combination of a great location, a well-equipped and clean living space, and the added bonus of whale watching from our balcony. If you're looking for a quiet and comfortable Hawaiian vacation, this is the perfect choice.

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!!

Bob’s property was the perfect stay for my wife and I. The oceanfront view, the cleanliness, the provided amenities and the location of the Kuleana are unmatched. 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.

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.

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.

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary and my birthday. The place was wonderful, clean and nice amenities. The view is spectacular!
We watched sea turtles and whales( happened to be whale season)from the lanai. There are so many options at this location. You can swim, snorkel or do nothing and enjoy the Sunset.
Definitely will return.

Condo complex is very nice and the unit we stayed in had an incredible view. We got to enjoy watching the turtles and some beautiful sunsets from both the lanai and the beach! Condo had everything we needed to enjoy our time beach hopping and has been nicely remodeled. Would definitely stay there again!

We spent a week at Kuleana Resort and it was delightful. the grounds, pool and bbqs were outstanding as was the parking availability. Sadly, the sandy beach on the south end of the property has disappeared so the turtle watching and water access was more limited. Our condo was oceanfront on the second floor and came with everything you could imagine. Just right for two travelers. You must be an early riser, as the birds and fellow guests tend to be up at the crack of dawn and the bedroom windows are not soundproof. Best time was on the balcony in the evening watching the sun set and revisiting the days events. Aloha!

The sunsets on the balcony alone made this place worthwhile. Extremely comfortable bed, nice quiet location, endless turtle viewing on the beach, and well stocked kitchen made this a perfect spot for us. Parking was easy and the location was very convenient for nearby snorkeling. I do wish the blinds on the bedroom window were more substantial as the window faces out to the community pool. Overall, we loved our stay and would gladly return next time we're in Maui.

This is the best-equipped VRBO I have ever stayed in. The kitchen was the best well-stocked ... sharp knives, lots of cooking utensils, pots, pans, 2 coffee makers, coffee grinder, great blender, and most surprising .... lots of kitchen supplies like olive oil, balsamic vinegar, etc. Finally ... the view......steps away from the beach and the turtles.

What a beautiful property. Thank you to our hosts for an incredible stay. Their condo was immaculate. The kitchen was well stocked so we could enjoy our meals with an extraordinary view of the ocean, turtles, sunrises and sunsets. The property grounds were also kept immaculate. The barbecues were cleaned daily and pool was always crystal clear and refreshing. The small beach on the property was quiet, easily accessible and provided hours of enjoyment. Would definitely stay here again. Hopefully soon.

We loved our stay here and will come back. We loved the peacefulness and quietness of the facility. LOVED the sunsets. Every night they were amazing. And we could take amazing pictures directly from our lanai. Once we were walking in front of a resort where we had dinner and the beach was lined with crowds of people taking pictures of the sunset. We loved that we could enjoy the sunsets in from the privacy of our condo. We loved hearing the waves on the rocks below the condo, but were bummed hearing that the sand has shifted away (the turtles used to sun themselves on it). And it's a half mile from a sweet little beach that I loved walking to. It had a bench under a big shade tree to sit and listen to the waves and feel a cooling breeze. We loved it!

This was my first time in Hawaii and it was a very pleasant experience. I was in town for a medical conference, so it was wonderful to return to this beautiful condo after a long day of learning. The view from the balcony is absolutely gorgeous and I got to watch the beautiful sunset every night. The area around the property is well maintained and the condo itself was clean and had everything (and more) a guest would ever need. Bob was super responsive when I sent him text messages.
Thanks for the wonderful stay Bob, I hope to be back soon! Aloha!

We were extremely pleased with this rental. Bob did an outstanding job of communicating clearly and effectively instructions on how to check in, what was and wasn't allowed, and what we should expect. Frankly, the property exceeded our expectations. The cost was exceptionally reasonable for anywhere, let alone Maui. Be prepared that there is only AC in the bedroom. It works incredibly well so you sleep cool at night, and didn't bother us that there wasn't AC in the rest of the unit. But that could be a shock for some people, it wasn't an issue for us. They had beach chairs, snorkel gear, a noodle, and boogie boards at the unit, which was a welcomed surprise. The views at the unit are second to none. We absolutely would go back again.

411 is a perfect property. The community is quiet and the grounds are well kept. The condo was well stocked with everything we needed and we enjoyed the sunsets on the lanai. Robert even provided beach chairs and umbrella! There is only a window air conditioner in the bedroom, but it was sufficient to keep the temps comfortable (we were there in mid May).
Since this unit is right on the water, the breezes and views were fantastic. Make sure to book ahead for restaurants, especially if you want to do a Luau. We would definitely stay there again.

Thanks so much for a wonderful week in your lovely spot. The bed was very comfortable and we loved being right above the ocean and listening to the crashing of the waves. A couple of minor things we would have appreciated would be having the water faucet in the kitchen adjusted. It sprayed water all over whenever we used it. Also a toilet scrubber. Also, the key box at the entry does not work easily and we both tried repeatedly to open it. Finally we gave up and called security and he came over to try it himself and couldn't do it, so let us in with his key. I wanted to let you know that the green placemats are very sticky and one night we were having dinner out doors and when I removed the plate the mat stuck to it and pulled the wine glass, which I had not picked up, off the table and it broke. I felt bad about this and purchased a box of 4 wine glasses, which I left in the cupboard, so you now have 3 more wine glasses than you started with when we arrived. We hope to visit again one day!

We had a great experience at this condo. First of all, the location was better than we had imagined. The view from the balcony was absolutely beautiful and we were within walking distance to some great restaurants (Miso Phat was a great sushi place). Robert was extremely helpful in accessing the unit and with last minute parking questions. The condo was very clean and we had everything we could've needed - beach towels, chairs, an umbrella, ect. It was a great value for such a beautiful stay!

My husband and I had a lovely stay in this one bedroom for the Thanksgiving holiday. We liked the personal feel as opposed to the commercial feel at at hotel. The view is spectacular and couldn't get enough of it! Especially seeing the Honu bask on the beach. I'm a Honu guardian, so I was thrilled to see them everyday. The pool is also nice and has a deep end, which is not common these days.
The place is very clean, has a comfortable bed and nice shower. The only small issue was the faucet in the kitchen sink. The pressure is high, so when turned on it sprays a lot.
We would definitely rent it again and highly recommend it. Thank you to the owners!

The Kuleana Resort is just beautiful. The landscaping. The ocean. The flowers and birds and Turtles. Condo 411 is located in the best building in the resort. The furniture is comfortable. Including the King Size Bed. The owners were easy to work with. I highly recommend and we will return. Aloha!

We enjoyed our October stay, great time of year to visit. Saw a lot of turtles and enjoyed the beach right on the property! Pool is the largest in West Maui and enjoyed every minute of it. The condo was perfect. Clean and well stocked with everything you could think of. Highly recommend this condo and owners. They were great to work with.
July 2018
Big thanks to Robert for making the process of using his unit at the Kuleana Resort in Honokowai such an easy process. The condo was situated right on the edge of the property with a fantastic view of the Pacific, and the Islands across from us. (Lanai and Molokai). The unit had everything we needed and we can't imagine a better place to stay in Maui. This was our third time on the Island and the next time we return we'll for sure try to stay here again if available. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Our stay at this condo was spectacular. The view and location from the water is stunning and the surf sounds rock you to sleep. The location to downtown Lahaina is just minutes yet you have quiet privacy in the home. It provides a very comfy king bed, fully stocked kitchen and even beach chairs and umbrella for beaching.

Aloha Robert,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you about our stay! It was wonderful! We had an awesome time and enjoyed every bit of the condo as well as the surrounding area. The condo had everything we could of needed and then some. From the kitchen to the tour books and snorkeling equipment. The lanai was spectacular and the views can't be beat! We saw whales and dolphins from the lanai. I don't think we really could have asked for anything more.
Staying at your place was so much better then staying at the big resorts. The condo was clean and had plenty of towels. Everyone at the complex was very nice.
I am a bartender and when I tell people about my stay in Maui, they want to to get your contact information. I have already given out your number and website to several people.
Thank you again for the use of your condo and I will definitely be contacting you again on my next trip to Maui.
Aloha,

This was my second stay at the Kuleana. I loved this condo! It's in the perfect location with one building and the pool separating it from the busy road. It was quiet and peaceful with the ever present sound of the waves. Comfortably furnished and super clean. The owner was great to work with. I enjoyed my morning coffee on the lanai while watching turtles and rainbows. A perfect way to start a day. The Farmers Market was always fun. I definitely recommend this condo. Pretty sure my next trip to Maui will find me staying right here again.
July 2015
I have been meaning to write this review for a long time. My husband and I stayed in this condo for a little over a week in February, 2015. We had talked for years about going to see the whales in Maui. This year we had the opportunity to do so, so I set out to find a waterfront condo where we could watch the whales from the lanai and it wouldn't break the bank. From our first interaction with Bob until the end of our trip, everything went smoothly. He answered all my questions and I felt confident we picked the right place to stay. We left our house and it was -6 degrees outside and we arrived on Maui to temperatures in the 80s. When we got to the condo, the first thing we noticed when we walked inside was how clean it was. Then, of course, we had to go look at the view. I knew it was ocean front and close to the water, but until you actually see it, you don't really know how fabulous it is. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't think about that view....of course it is our computer screensaver so that helps! We got up in the morning, sat out on the lanai and watched for whales. This was pretty much our routine whenever we were in this condo. I hate to admit that we are tv watchers on vacation and we did the first night, but it was never turned on again our entire trip. The condo complex is in a nice area and it was a great home base to wherever we wanted to travel to on the island. If you are looking for a whale watch, we went out on the Teralani. We definitely recommend it. We went out first thing in the morning and it was not crowded so there was a good view from anywhere on the boat. We loved going to Front Street and walking around. Local Boys Shave Ice was our favorite daily treat. We also enjoyed Aloha Mixed Plate for breakfast, the fried rice is very addicting. Before I end, I just want to say that it is obvious the owners take pride in their condo. The upgrades are wonderful. This is definitely a condo we would recommend to anyone looking for an oceanfront place to stay on Maui. We have already begun to save so we will be able to return.
January 2011
This condo was absolutely fantastic. I'm writing this review the night before we have to leave, and my only regret is that we have to get on a plane tomorrow. The furnishings are fantastic, the view is incredible, and the owners are top notch. I couldn't even tell you how many whales I've seen from our back porch, which is directly over the private beach. Despite all these great things, my favorite part was swimming with turtles just off the private beach. This place is wonderful and it has exceeded all of my expectations.

We were married at Kuleana in May, 2010 and my mother stayed in this condo. I thought it was once of the nicest we had seen( that was the 2nd time we had been there and had friends staying in quite a few of the other condos). We decided to book the condo when we went back in December 2010. We will only stay at the Kuleana because the location is perfect, whales breaching right infront of your lanai and watching the many turtles for hours on the reef right in front. I would make coffee and watch them feed from the lanai every morning. The farmer's market is only a 5-10 minute walk away as well and the best local organic food you will find. The condo is completely redone and we loved the shower, great for just walking into and cleaning off after a day at the beach located right in front. Robert is great to deal with and you will not be disappointed with the grounds, the condo and the location, everything you can ask for in a tropical vacation. Thank you so much for letting us stay there again

We stayed at Kuleana 411 for a week in September 2008. We were familiar with the property grounds because we had stayed in another Kuleana unit before, but never in 411. We love Kuleana's location on the island of Maui due to its proximity to lots of the activities we like (snorkeling, body surfing, Lahaina & Kaanapali, rugged north coast, etc.), yet it is quiet and peaceful. Plus the sunsets were terrific every night. Unit 411 has been modernized delightfully, and is thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, including a small ice chest that we used on every outing. I will definitely go back. We loved the location of this unit on the property, and the property was very well maintained and beautiful. Unit 411 is one of the best units in the complex as it is on the top floor overlooking the beach and immediately next to the private pool. We would drink Kona coffee watching turtles in the morning, and take up a lounge chair by the pool during the heat of the day, and swim/snorkel in the ocean in the afternoon. It was great having the blender and refrigerator only steps from these water attractions; made everything very simple. Every other night we met great people cooking at the well maintained gas grills, which are thoroughly cleaned every morning. There's nothing like grilling fish and steak while watching the sun go down after a wonderful day exploring the island or just reading a book. I find it far better than hotel lodging. I felt completely at home, but I wasn't...I was in paradise.

This condo is absolutely amazing - don't even think twice about renting it. It's in the best block of units on the property, "sandwiched" between the ocean and the pool, so you don't need to worry about hearing street noise. It's also been completely (and tastefully) renovated making for a very comfortable stay. We were pleasantly surprised by the "little extras" the owners thought of - things like a reference binder filled with information on what to see and where to buy, beach chairs & towels & cooler to borrow, a fully stocked kitchen (right down to aluminum wrap and Tupperware). For us, this meant less time organizing ourselves and more time enjoying the island. The view from the lanai? Let's just say incredible, day or night, with unobstructed views of the ocean and the islands of Lana'i and Moloka'i.
In terms of the property itself, we found it to be one of the nicest around, and we really did our homework before renting. Lush, manicured gardens, large pool, very serene atmosphere (i.e., architecture blends in wonderfully with the surroundings). We wanted a "home away from home" and that's exactly what we got... no big, unsightly condo towers here! We were lucky as the small beach (right in front of the condo, too) was there (it comes and goes), which we enjoyed much more than we thought we would. Early morning swims (before heading out for the day) and/or late night swims (before going to bed) were part of our daily routine.
Add to all of this the fact the owners are wonderful to deal with and you have a winning combination. My only regret? Not staying more than 10 days.
(Actually my other regret is that Champlain did not discover Canada somewhere in the Hawaiian islands... Mau'i is stunning!)

My husband and I absolutely enjoyed every day at Kuleana #411. We visited during March 2009 and could have spent countless hours watching whales from our balcony. The best feature of #411 is the view and closeness to the ocean. The ocean waves were perfect for the surfers who entertained us every evening as we sat on the balcony and ate dinner as the sun would set. The rainbows were breath taking and the grounds of the condo complex are perfect. The unit itself came with everything from wine glasses, sunscreen, beach towels and even a pair of binoculars. We could not have asked for a nicer spot in paradise and plan to return!
