Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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 Furniture is outdated and uncomfortable (no foot rests or side tables for tiny couch to make it more comfortable).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.

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!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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
