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.

The location is beautiful and the condo is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The owner Lily generously provides you with detailed information and instructions about the condo and activities and restaurants in the area.

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.

Excellent location, any closer and we’d be in the water. It was a short stay but we swam, got some good rest in a comfortable bed and had coffee on the rocks watching the honu graze.

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.

This property is wonderful! It’s very comforting and the most beautiful views! It was exactly what we needed and the property was very clean! The pool and the ocean were awesome and you could see so many fish and turtles. Definitely will be coming back! It was a memorable trip for my husband and I! Very romantic!

Very nice, clean, GORGEOUS place! We love staying at Kuleana and this condo was the best location- feet from the ocean and then the pool right behind. Lots of needed items in the kitchen and for the beach and pool available. Thank you for a great stay! Can’t wait to come back!

This unit has fantastic full views of the ocean, Moloka’i and Lanai and from the side window ocean views and the view of a gorgeous tree. True that the side window does also have a view of solar panels and roof, but that is quickly overshadowed by the beauty of everything else.The kitchen appliances are new and the bed was comfy... a lovely breeze circulates through most of the unit, but the AC in the bedroom was wonderful at night. Another awesome thing about Kuleana is the snorkeling is great! We saw at least 10 sea turtles once snorkeling. The grounds are also lovely.

This condo was an absolute gem for our Maui getaway. The property perfectly matched the listing's description and photos. We loved the stunning landscaping and the added bonus of a small beach during our stay. Communicating with both the property management and owner was easy. We highly recommend this lovely condo for couples or small families seeking a memorable Maui vacation. We would love to go back!

We loved staying here and hope to again. Because it is a corner unit, it has windows on the end and the side, which is not common among Maui condos I've sees but it makes so much difference. We were literally 40 yards from the sandy beach where we could swim or snorkle. We saw at least one turtle sleeping on the beach and several in the water every day. We saw as many fish there as we did on our snorkle cruise or other bays we went to, right in front of the condo.
The kitchen had everything we needed, including some seasonings. We shopped at the ABC and Times market grocery about 1 mile down the road. Its so close to Kaanapali, Napili, and Kapalua, and all of the restaurants in those neighborhoods. Try to food truck park sometime too.
Getting into the unit was easy, the staff at the condo were nice, and our host was responsive when we had to ask things through the app. Even though the AC is only in the bedroom, we could lock the screen door and leave the deck door open to get a pretty good breeze through the unit. The only upgrade I'd suggest is maybe heavy curtains on the western windows because the glare was pretty strong in the late afternoon until sunset.
There was some sunscreen that other guests had used because you must use reef-friendly sunscreen on Maui. You should know that even the major brands sold on Maui are reef safe, so you don't need to buy the super expensive kind like we did.

We stayed here for 5 nights during the summer, and it was an amazing experience. You can’t have a better beachfront condo in Maui, and Margie is an exceptional host. The condo is perfectly equipped with everything you need for your stay, making it a fantastic place for families. My kids and I played at the beach every day, and the sunset view from the condo is breathtaking. 5 stars and more!

I will definitely be booking again to stay in this Condo with amazing views, easy access to a private, small beach, heated pool and beautifully attended grounds. We swam with the turtles, watch, glorious sunsets, and relaxed on the balcony, taking in the stunning views We were close to all beaches and restaurants.

My husband and I loved our stay here. Gorgeous views all day long. We could see the turtles from the living room at times. Really no need to even leave the property with the beach, the pool, the gorgeous views, meals on the lanai! But if you do decide to venture out, you’re only 9 to 10 minutes drive away from everything including restaurants, shops, snorkeling, sailing on a catamaran… Pretty much anything you would ever want to do in Hawaii. We definitely plan to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay so much! We are a family of four with growing boys. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. Our kids slept on the pull out sofa bed and that was just fine for them. This condo is all about the location. We spent every morning and evening sitting out on the lawn or beach enjoying the views. We made wonderful memories and hope to return again soon!

This was our 6th time staying at Kuleana and this by far was our leadt favorite condo. We usually stay in 400 or 600 bldg and should have stuck with that. The entrance to this condo is t even "inside" the property. U ha e to go through gate to get to pool or beach. My biggest issue is that we rented this unit for my elderyly mother (70) and no where on the listing doe it state you have to go up 6 , yes SIX flights of stairs. We've stayed at Kuleana many times and never even knew there could be 6 flights of stairs. This needs to be clearly disclosed in the listing for people with mobility issue. The condo was less than clean and the only one we've ever seen roaches in. Huge disappointment for the price we paird for this condo it was definitely the bottom of the barrel.

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

Love this location and this room did not disappoint. It’s one of the best and biggest rooms privately owned in this resort. Room came with everything you could need to feel at home away from home with extras. There were beach chairs, boogie boards and beach toys on the patio. 2 tvs! Comfy pull out bed as well to match the comfy master bed.

Owner was very responsive and super helpful with any questions or requests we had. Will come back one day!

Very happy, as always, with our stay a Kuleana. This time we had a repair that was needed in the bathroom -- which is rare, as this unit is well-maintained. It was dealt with quickly.

The property was great, beautiful view, great pool, turtles right off shore. Awesome. The unit was fine, but there were only 4 bath towels, 4 hand towels and 3 washcloths. The washer was broken when we arrived. We had been notified that a repairperson was coming, so that was expected. Not expected was that the part for the washer was either incorrect or did not fix the problem. A new washer/dryer was ordered, but it was going to take a week. Since we only had 4 towels and the repairperson used them to mop up the mess while trying to fix the machine we had to use the laundry facilities on the property. You could not use your credit card to run the washer, you had to buy a laundry card and load amounts of money on that. It cost $10 to do 2 loads of wash. Then, when the new appliance came, the guy that installed it messed up the bathroom door, it would not close. Then, the door came off the track and nothing we did would make it stay. We had to prop it up like a privacy screen. Not good with 4 adults using the bathroom. (not to mention the door was like a bi-fold closet door with wood slats, not very private even when it did close)
There were not enough lights in the living room, very dim. There were no tools or anything in the unit to try to fix anything yourself. There were dead (large) bugs behind the TV. None of this by itself would make me give a bad review, but all together, it was too much.
