It was my family and I’d first time in a condominium type of stay. I must say it was great! It had everything we needed during our stay. Thank you so much!

A wonderful three week stay. This condo has the best view of the ocean. Great views from lanai for sunsets. The pool is also amazing. And nice to have laundry facilities in unit.
(Could use a few storage containers in the kitchen, but that’s minor.) lots of nearby restaurants and groceries. Great place

Everything was wonderful. The Condo is exactly what you see in the photos. Close to lots of beaches and restaurants. Clean property and great security. Will be back.

Everything was as advertised and had a great view of the ocean and sunset.

The view from the Lanai was perfect. Every morning we lost count of the he whales we were seeing. So special!
The unit suited our needs as we were only 2 people. I think this would be tight with more then 2.
The Property Manager was very responsive when we noticed a missing kettle and when informing us of the need to enter our unit due to an emergency in a neighbouring unit. The workers cleaned up after they left and everyone communicated to ensure we were up to date. We appreciated everyone's efforts on that. They went above and beyond to ensure we were happy.
Two things that I would highlight for travelers. This is a noisy part of town given night traffic you can hear from the bedroom and the early construction vehicles working up the hill. Additionally there were limited kitchen items in the unit that we have seen in other VRBO rentals (i.e. no pepper, no cling wrap or sandwich bags, only 1 wine glass, etc).

The place was everything the pictures showed on the website ,the view was amazing. Our only concern was the checkout time was so early coming from Canada there is no flights to get you in before check in which is 4 pm the flights are usually around midnight ours was late ( 4 am) and check out at 10 and our flight was 12 midnight so we lost a whole day that we had to pay for. No fault from you but I think that the renters need to look at that better so we are getting what we pay for. I’m sure it’s happening all the time. The only other thing would be the bedroom being in the back the road noise was loud ( double pane would fix that) Everything else was great. Thank you for sharing your place with us 😊going to miss those sunsets

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!

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.

The property is so well kept and beautiful
We had stayed at this resort once before
Every morning the pool , barbecues are scrubbed and cleaned
There is not to much of a beach right there but many to drive to
Love the area.

Very clean and perfect for our stay. The property was great and well taken care of. Away from the big crowds but walking distance to popular areas

This was a perfect little unit for our family vacation in Maui. The unit was exactly as listed. We loved having all our meals on the lanai and enjoying ocean views with our meals. The surrounding grounds were very well maintained and the community was very friendly and welcoming. Turtles were frequently on the beach or swimming nearby. Loved that the neighborhood was slightly away from the big resorts, but still close to many major activities when we wanted to get out. I would definitely book this unit again for a return trip.

Excellent view of the ocean! The surroundings were beautiful, palm trees, flowers, and swimming pool. The Condo Area is close to town. We were on the third floor so carried our luggage up and down.
The Condo was smaller than I thought as I viewed the pictures of the place and it was probably due to the one wall in the main area was a mirror. It was just right for the two of us.

This condo was perfect and checked every box I had! We wanted a place that had amazing views but still had practical accommodations. This was my first time renting on this app and I’m pleased to say the room in these photos is exactly what you get! Fantastic sunsets every night, and the balcony overlooks the pool with a gorgeous view of the water! Very private on an upper floor, but still able to see guests having a fun time below. Unit was very clean, has plenty of mirrors. Bed was comfortable and was happy to have ceiling fans in living and bed rooms as well as an ac in the bedroom (I found not all condos have an ac, you’re gonna need it!!) Kitchen was well stocked with a microwave, stove, oven, pizza and baking pans, plates, variety of cups, coffee maker, toaster, ice blocks and ice trays. I appreciate that this place had a cooler and beach chairs to use. Nearest stores are only about a 5 minute drive away. The staff was super friendly to communicate with via text and app messages. Late checkout is not available but they were able to suggest alternative storage companies for our luggage, very very grateful for that tip. If we ever come back to Maui (fingers crossed!) we would absolutely stay here again. Mahalo!

I cannot express fully how much we enjoyed our time at this property and condo! The whole condo was decorated wonderfully, and had all the dishes and towels we needed. Bed is comfortable and the A/C unit in the bedroom was perfect (People said it was a loud A/C in other reviews but it sounds like any other window unit out there). And the VIEW oh my it was STUNNING (may have cried when I first saw it). We spent so much time on the private balcony eating and hanging out. You are so close to the water and get to see all of the beautiful landscaping. The grounds are meticulously cared for. There is a pool and a small private beach, which were never crowded and made for the perfect quiet get away. There are many sea turtles and fish that hang out by the rocks which made snorkeling so fun! (Keep a respectful distance from turtles though!) We will DEFINITELY come back.
Other pluses: in unit laundry, tennis court, parking included, shower starter kit (travel size gel, shampoo, & conditioner), 4 garbage bags, 4 dishwasher pods, 3 laundry pods and one dryer sheet, close enough to some shopping if you need more supplies (5min drive)
Suggestions:
-New comforter is needed. It was definitely clean but there were some deep stains on the corners which made us nervous at first.
-Beach chairs need replacement. They are just a bit old making one hard to open and the other has broken straps/pouches

On the west coast of West Maui, north of Lahaina, good access to shopping, entertainment, touring, water activities. Great visitors at the complex during our two week stay. Maui Paradise Properties who manage the unit for the owner did an outstanding job. Communicated with us very effectively and quick response time to any questions or problems.
March 2022
The property definitely met my needs. The dryer was very nice to have. Kitchen was well stocked. The cooler was very nice to be able to use. The beach towels were actually just bath towels so I wish they hadn't been advertised as having beach towels b/c I would have brought my own. There are a lot of mirrors in the condo. I understand they make the very small condo look larger and are probably easy to clean, but its a little overboard. I think implementing a code lock on the door vs. the keys might be an easy upgrade and the air conditioner was super noisy but my noise cancelling headphones made that easy enough to deal with. Overall I loved Maui and the location of these condos and would stay here again.

A lovely property with phenomenal views of Lanai, Molokai, whales, sunsets, etc. An easy drive to major west Maui attractions and beaches, with several good local eateries and charming small beaches within walking distance. The complex is well maintained, and the unit had all the essentials. Communication with property management was swift and helpful.

Nice peaceful condo, only problems were very slow internet, made it really hard to do work and then of course the parking problem, the spaces are so small for a mini van we received 3 tickets

The location and property itself were nice, but this room is in desperate need of some tender loving care. The room was not clean…we found a dead roach and a live roach two separate days. There is a good amount of dirt/dust on everything but the floors and countertops (ie light fixtures, under every piece of furniture, top of washer, top of fridge, corners and edges of floor)…just seems like they do a quick clean job in between guests but who knows how long it has been since this place was actually cleaned (my guess is years). There was also a broken towel holder which you could tell has been broken for a long time.
The good…there is a lot to do/see within walking distance. The grounds…pool…grills…small beach are all awesome. Parking was plentiful, and free.
The grounds seemed to be meticulously cared for, just not this particular room. We even met the owner of the unit next door, and she said they came twice a year to deep clean. Someone needs to deep clean this place…in a bad way.
Air conditioning was very loud, as others have said, but they have a sound machine that helps drown out the AC a little.
We would stay here again if we were guaranteed it had been DEEP cleaned. Otherwise, we would choose another unit in this complex. Side note, be prepared, they are not large units. We knew that, and were fine with it.

This place was DOUBLE BOOKED. There I was with my family, tired from our trip and in front of the property door but couldn’t go in as there was another family in it. People who were in it felt sorry for it, but nothing they could do about it. They had been there for a couple of days, and told us that they had concerns with cleanness as they saw cockroaches all over. The next door neighbor stepped outside and said the same.
We called the property manager and told them about the double booking. They apologized and said they would call back with a solution. They did. They found another place not too far, and gave us the directions.
Great, problem solved…not quite. The other property required us to pay resort fees at check-in, but then the property manager (Maui Paradise Properties) told us they would issue a refund to us afterwards. Great, problem solved…not quite….it has been two months and no refund has been issued.
What a disappointment…truly disappointment. Maui Paradise Properties really messed this up, and to date they still haven’t gotten their act together.

The location was amazing, it was centrally located to all of the gorgeous beaches in the area and not far from the airport or the south west side of the island! The condo had everything we needed, the bed was so comfortable, and the views of the sunset every night had us rushing home from dinner to sit on the lanai! The rental company was also very helpful, they provided us with a number to text or call at any time with issues and they responded in a timely manner. The beach chairs and cooler were an added bonus as we spent almost everyday on a different beach— and we ended up renting an umbrella and snorkel gear to go with them from a nearby store. Would definitely recommend this rental!!
The only problem we had (which is at no fault of the rental management or the owner) but the “security” person who was to provide us with a parking tag was no where to be found, and didn’t answer the phone listed in the security office door. Took us two days to find him at a decent hour, and then they provided us with a paper stating COVID regulations for the property which clearly stated the guidelines and we had no questions. The next night the security guard was constantly reminding people to wear masks even though they were clearly “stationary” and 6 feet from others outside, one of which was even drinking a beverage. (Which was outlined on the information provided by the property itself that it was acceptable).

PROS
Beautiful area, very well maintained buildings and grounds.
Sparkling clean pool
Turtles right in the water in the back of the property
Nice lanai with ocean and pool view
Great BBQ area
Our unit (321) had a well stocked kitchen
Good selection of dinnerware, silverware and cooking utensils. Plenty of pots and pans
Plenty of quality toilet paper and paper towels
Bright white fluffy bath towels
Beach chairs, ice chest, snorkel masks and beach shoes (masks and shoes possibly left from prior visitors, nice to have)
Responsive management team
CONS
Our unit was not cleaned well at all
Sheets were quite possibly microfiber, and the bed had a memory foam topper. Both of those items tend to be too hot for me to sleep comfortably
Better pillows would be nice
Loud air conditioning unit
Housekeeping must not pay attention and are likely rushed, as our unit had some issues than should have been dealt with before we arrived
Minimal bedding for the sofa sleeper. Just sheets
This is really only a 2 person unit. I cannot see it accommodating a family. There really isn't a very good place to store your things.
Eating bar is hindered by the sofa
Having said all of that, I would still say this is a good unit in a good area and as long as it is for just 2 people, you should be just fine.

We very much liked the condo and its location. It was clean, well equipped, and a great base for exploring Maui from. Parking was always easy, and parking spots readily close by. The BBQ area could get busy right around sunset, but we waited until about 7:00 PM to prepare our food, and never had to wait for an available BBQ. We highly recommend this condo, and would definitely consider coming back again.

Small clean condo. We had to buy a few things you may expect to be included like coffee filters and toilet paper, but it wasn’t a big deal. We enjoyed walking down to Bad Ass Coffee and the Farmer’s Market to start our mornings. The beach is very small and was inaccessible due to the tide for most of our trip, but we still had a nice view of the ocean. They strictly enforce a quiet time at 9pm, which wasn’t an issue for us but may be for some that want to play music or visit on the patio in the evening. We left our snorkel gear and floaties to the collection of beach toys. It was nice to have beach chairs and a cooler accessible for the beach as well. Overall a great stay!

Had a terrific time. Condo has an efficient use of space, felt bigger than the listed footage. Patio is a great spot for breakfast and watching the sunset. Super nice having a washer and dryer in the unit; we packed half as many clothes than we would have otherwise. Resort grounds are well-kept and quiet, nice pool and small beach on the property. Really easy to get to Kapalua, Kaanapali, and Lahaina, so easy access to other beaches, restaurants, and tourist areas.
Would stay here again without hesitation.

This is a beautiful rental that made us fall in love with Maui even more. The rental unit is very clean and well kept. The kitchen was well equipped with pots/pans, silverware, cups, etc (big plus if you like to cook your own meals). A prime location if you plan on staying in Lahaina/West Maui. There is a small market, coffee shop, grocery store, gas station, all right there. My family and I loved staying here. I would recommend it to anyone!!

The place looks exactly like the pictures and very clean. The amenities are everything you need while on vacation. We cooked in the kitchen for several dinners, although there are restaurants within walking distance. If you need suggestions on a the good ones Jan (the manager is extremely good with recommendations!

Beautiful, well appointed condo, with everything you need for a great vacation. Turtles and fish galore steps in front of the property. No need to snorkel anywhere else. Loved it.

The highlight for this property was clearly enjoying the view from the lanai (balcony). You have direct ocean view and can see neighboring islands.
There is also a small beach which is only accessible by the condo residents and neighboring property. There were turtles sunning themselves right on the beach.
The bedroom is facing the street which includes a bus route. As a result there is alot of road noise if you keep the window opened. It would wake us up in the night. We tried closing the window and using the air conditioner but it was louder. There was about the same amount of noise as obeing in an airplane. As a result my wife slept on the hide a bed in the living room to get away from the noise. This was a big inconvenience. The king bed in the bedroom was very hard and the hide a bed was just about the same comfort level.
We stayed over Thanksgiving and the wifi and microwave stopped working over the holiday.we called the management number and logged a call using the app but received no response. We had to call the reservation line to get someone to help us.
Nothing was terrible but we would not come back again .

Kuleana is a pleasant resort that offers a quiet retreat within an area of high density vacation accommodations. A welcome refuge from surrounding congestion.
