We love Kuleana Resort. Beautiful grounds, nice pool and on the ocean. What more can a person want?!?! Condo was nice needs a little TLC but was perfect for us. Already planning our return.

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!

It was nice place no complains. One minor thing that the unit has partial ocean view. There are other units that have full ocean view.

We enjoyed the stay. It was as advertised. Very clean and in a great community. Walking distance to beaches. The condo owner was very responsive to any questions. We had arrived very early and she allowed us to check in early.

We have stayed in this condo a total of four times over the past five years, and thoroughly love this unit. It is very clean and up to date, is quiet, and offers wonderful views right next to the ocean. The sound of the waves is very peaceful.

Great location and views.
Real issue is the bedroom is so loud from road noise and wind it makes it hard to sleep. Bring your ear plugs and eye mask.

It was nice having such a wonderful view from the condo and the ground are immaculate. Beautiful landsccaping and some benches to sit and watch the sunset if you don't have a view from your condo. They cleaned the pool and pool area every morning. The beach at the property is seasonal, likely only accessible at low tide, which was in the dark when we were there. The host was wonderful. I reached out to her a couple times and she was very responsive telling me where I could find different things (extra sheets and pillows are located in the bottom portion of the tv cabinet). The condo itself was a bit smaller than we are used to, but it had everything we needed. Perfect for a couple or small family.

Reviewer Comments:
One of the longer condo shorelines with lots of grass to walk up and down to look out to the other islands and look for turtles and whales. The lighting of the tiki torches at sunset is really special and makes it truly feel relaxing and like this is a vacation not just a stop over. This 1st week in December there were many people who have come back at the same time for many year and became our friends. Great atmosphere . Nice pool and location to many nice beaches. Loved cooking breakfast and eating on our lanai almost every morning. Walking to Bad *** coffee every morning. These become rituals. 2nd time at Kuleana we will go back again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Being able to see and hear the ocean all day long was a treat we didn’t know we needed. The snorkeling in the bay was amazing. Lots of sea turtles! Location was close to many eateries and shopping. We met some really nice people around the condo who gave out good recommendations! Loved our stay, we will be back!

This property was comfortable and clean, but not without issues. The shower didn't drain, so water rose up your ankles while showering. This appears to have been a long standing problem given the rusty tide mark on the tub bottom. The tub itself is stained and most of the enamel is worn off. We called the property manager Emmett and he was very responsive, drain was cleared the next day. Then the toilet stopped flushing consistently, we had to remove the tank lid to pull the chain/flush. Then we tried to do laundry but the dryer did not work. Another email to Emmett, who quickly responded and fixed the toilet, however the dryer could not be fixed and was not functional for our whole stay. Emmett suggested there would be compensation for the dryer inconvenience, but we have not received anything. The pictures flatter the property significantly, it is smaller and a bit underwhelming when you actually see it, but again comfortable for 2 people (4 would be a crowd) and clean. The AC unit is in the bedroom window and is extremely loud. The view from the deck is wonderful and the grounds are well maintained. While the ad suggests beach access, this is very limited. The "beach" is very small and there are significant rocks. Getting in for a swim would be challenging - and dangerous for those who are not strong/competent swimmers given the combination of rock and surf. We didn't see anyone using the beach as a beach for our stay.

We recently stayed at this place, and it was everything we’d hoped for! The views are absolutely stunning — we spent every evening on the balcony just soaking up the sunsets. The place itself is beautifully decorated, really clean, and feels cozy yet modern. Having air conditioning was a big plus, especially since it got a little warm in the afternoons.
The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some meals, though we did end up trying a few of the local spots nearby. It was the perfect balance between a relaxing home-away-from-home and a beach getaway. If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic escape, I’d highly recommend this spot!

Easy access and even got a bit of help at check in from a very nice maintenance guy. View from our lanai was spectacular. Quiet and enjoyable as always. The grounds were beautiful and clearly maintained with care. Two minor things,Beach access for snorkeling was a bit harder now, but certainly still was doable. The natural gas grills were great for seafood, but it was harder to get them really hot to sear beef. Overall, a wonderful place to stay yet again.

This condo was absolutely gorgeous! The sweet smells of Hawaii were welcoming! Along with the perfect view of Molokia and rolling waves that were sure to help you fade away in paradise, this property had it all, the beach gear for the day, the kitchen fully stocked to grilling steaks, cheeseburgers in paradise, and seafood while watching the the waves roll in! I like this place so much it should be a secret! Thank you to a welcoming host for making our honeymoon so wonderful!

Arrived and fridge was dirty. Furniture is outdated and uncomfortable (no foot rests or side tables for tiny couch to make it more comfortable). Bed was hard and pillows were microscopic. Location of unit close to road, but luckily white noise from air conditioning cancelled out road noise at night.

When my husband and I travel we like to go to different places and stay in different accommodations each time. This is one of the first places we've stayed where we know we would come back. It's like your own little oasis and out of the whole complex, I actually think this condo is the best of them all when you consider location on the property and the panoramic view. I am obsessed with Honu (Hawaiian green sea turtle) and we saw them from the balcony every single day popping their heads up and swimming!! What I didn't see other reviewers mention is the star gazing. Oh my gosh this place is just as beautiful at night as it is in the day. I would have slept outside if the bed inside wasn't so comfy!! Watching the moon rise while BBQing in the garden was unforgettable, and I even saw the milky way! I also loved the decor inside the condo, it's traditional and very Hawaiian so you really feel like you're soaking up the lifestyle and culture. A really really beautiful spot with the most incredible view of anywhere we've ever stayed.
*A note* to say that from the description it seems this place is in Lahaina, it isn't. While driving through Lahaina it was devastating to see the damage from the fires. But this place is through the other side.

Absolutely amazing, I searched everywhere looking for the perfect place. My now wife had never flown before and had never seen the ocean so I wanted everything to be magical. I looked for months and was fortunate enough to stumble on Eileen’s breathtaking condo. The side window is what sets this apart from everywhere else. I searched everywhere and never saw that.we enjoyed every meal there and just got lost watching the waves. We came on vacation but decided to get married because everything was so perfect. We decided to extend our stay and Eileen was fantastic. I’m so glad I went with her instead of some big company. You’re on the perfect side of the island and to prove this the Weston and ritz Carlton are right down the road. Thank you so very much Eileen for making the investment and being generous enough to share with us. Please please please do yourself a favor and do whatever it takes to stay here it’s worth whatever sacrifice you have to make. This trip has changed the way we travel and it’s all because we chose this amazing place and had this experience. Everything was described as it should be and we found she undersold the things available in the unit ie snorkeling gear, sun tan lotion, etc. the pictures don’t do it justice and we saw more sea turtles here then on our trip to turtle town. I cannot recommend this place enough it truly is something special. Thank you again Eileen so very much for everything. I’m going to tell everyone and we will definitely be back.

My husband and I finally came back to Maui after 5 years for our Anniversary. We got "Maui'd" on Maui 11 years ago and wanted to take a relaxing vacation with out kids, family or friends! This was the first time we have ever just relaxed with no plans except to snorkel right out front of our Kuleana condo! Unit 605 is only steps from the ocean with a spectacular view! Usually there is the small private beach, however the tide was high the whole trip, but that didn't stop us from snorkeling and visiting the family of Sea Turtles that are always there! Grant it we had to work for it by fighting through the rocks to get to them, but it was worth it for us. We also visited the local public beaches right down the road to snorkel. Unit 605 had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, clean and it was perfect for us! My husband and I grilled every night at the grill station a few steps from the unit with that beautiful view while you're grilling! The Kuleana always has the most gorgeous landscape and is always in pristine condition! We have been going to Maui for over 20 years and The Kuleana is the ONLY place we stay! Thank you Reeny for one of the best most relaxing vacations, my husband I had a wonderful time!

Beautifully updated unit, ac in bedroom was a blessing as it was VERY hot while we were there. Saw turtles off the balcony every day and crabs on the rocks. Parking was easy and plentiful (car rental is a must) Short walk to amazing coffee/sand beach/gift shops. Within 15 minute drive to blow hole, 10 to great snorkeling at Honolua bay, and 5 to dragon’s tooth. Some really cool things right in this small area. Would recommend!

Lovely view right on the ocean front. We enjoyed using the shared BBQ grills at sunset. Swimming pool on site is nice as there is no calm ocean sand beach on the property front. The air conditioner is in the bedroom and does not keep the living area and kitchen cool. Pull the shades for the day!

The condo had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The property was so beautiful, we grilled out a couple of nights because it is not every day you get to look out at the ocean and watch a sunset! The pool was refreshing and just a few steps away. We would highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at Kuleana. The unit is large and comfortable. The use of the cooler and boogie boards was very helpful; they were used almost every day. The kitchen was well appointed for use except a cutting board and oven mitts.
We saw turtles almost every day. We were usually had pool to ourselves. The small beach was not very busy.
The unit is located by the road and garbage and recycling bins. Easy access to these but noisy when it is pickup day.
