About this property

Amazing panoramic ocean view! Perfect for couples. Just steps to the ocean.🏝

Feel at home in paradise and enjoy the amazing panoramic ocean view from this beautifully appointed condo. Our unit was completely remodeled! Tasteful decor and accents can be found throughout the entire unit. Much thought and love went into the remodeling as it is not just a vacation rental, it is also our second home. This is not the typical vacation rental condo.

PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE SECTIONS BELOW PRIOR TO BOOKING:
Most of the answers to your questions can be found below and in the Amenities section.

Reviews:
Please be sure to take a look at the Reviews section to read about what our prior guests have to say...

Sleeping Accommodations:
This beautiful 1 bedroom and 1 bath unit is intended and best suited for 2 people! There is a King size bed in the bedroom. A new mattress was purchased in June 2018. The Lady Americana Camelot mattress has individually wrapped coils and Gel Memory Foam. This 485 square foot unit also has a Queen size sofa bed in the living room; however, please be aware that it may be too tight when utilized (when the sofa bed is pulled out there is not much room to walk around in the living room area).

Air Conditioning:
There is a wall-mounted air conditioner ONLY in the bedroom.
Central air conditioning is NOT permitted in The Kuleana complex. Air conditioners are only allowed in the bedroom. If you require central air conditioning then this condo is not a good fit for you.
There are 2 ceiling fans in the unit (1 in the living room & 1 in the bedroom).
There is also a portable fan in case it is needed.

Bathroom:
The bathroom contains a beautiful walk-in shower. There is no bathtub in the unit. Please note that the vanity and sink in the bathroom is high (vanity is 36" high plus the marble vessel sink on top is another 5" high) making it difficult for children to reach.

Linens & Towels:
All linens, bath towels and beach towels are provided for your use during your stay.

Unit Location:
Our unit is located on the 3rd (top floor) so there is no foot traffic to disrupt your privacy and experience. The Kuleana is not a high rise condominium complex. There are NO ELEVATORS on the property. There are 3 flights (7 steps per flight) to reach our unit. There is no one above us and only 1 unit next to us separated by a block wall for privacy.

Lanai (balcony):
It's all about the view! A large sliding glass door in the living room leads to the lanai (balcony). Take in the views of our neighboring islands of Lana'i and Moloka'i while dining on our private lanai. There is a bar height table and 4 bar stools on the lanai for your dining. Maui living is all about the outdoors. The sunsets from our lanai are spectacular! You may find it difficult to leave.

The Kuleana Complex:
The Kuleana complex consists of 7 low rise buildings (no higher than 3 floors). The lush tropical grounds are beautifully maintained. Each unit on the property is individually owned. The Kuleana complex is best suited for adults as it is generally quiet and geared for relaxation.
NOTE: There are NO elevators on the property.

The Kuleana Complex Location:
The Kuleana complex is located in West Maui and has a Lahaina zip code (although it is NOT located in the former Old Lahaina Town area and was not affected by the fire). The complex boasts a truly remarkable oceanfront location. It offers more seclusion and privacy versus a resort hotel, but yet is close enough to have all the perks of resort amenities just minutes away.
The Kuleana complex is conveniently located within a short drive to Ka'anapali/Whalers Village (3.4 miles), Kapalua (4.5 miles) and Napili (3.3 miles) where you can enjoy a wide variety of shopping, dining, entertainment and outdoor activities.
We also have a Farmer's Market just down the road providing delicious produce and treats.

Please be sure to see the Reviews section to read about what prior guests had to say regarding the location. Many of them have enjoyed the location of the condo.

Airports:
Kahului International Airport (OGG) is the main airport on the island. It is 30 miles from the condo (approximately a 45 minute drive without traffic). If you are flying to Maui directly from the mainland, you would fly in to the Kahului Airport (OGG).
Kapalua Airport (JHM) is .6 miles from the condo. It is a 2 minute drive. The Kapalua Airport is a small regional airport that mainly operates inter-island flights (to/from other Hawaiian islands).

Beach & Pool:
The Kuleana property fronts 2 seasonal beaches. Our unit is approximately 45 yards from the smaller private feeling cove. Please be aware that the beaches are subject to the currents and tides and can disappear. Currently one of the 2 beaches is gone and rocky. Winter months are less predictable and the beaches can recede overnight. The amount of sand/the size of the beach fluctuates and can disappear.

The unit is near the large gated and heated pool (pool length is 20 yards).
Beach towels and 2 Tommy Bahama beach chairs are provided in our unit for your use during your stay.

Tennis:
There is a tennis court on The Kuleana property available on a first come first serve basis. Tennis court hours are 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM (or until dark in the winter months).

Barbecues:
There are 4 oceanfront gas barbecues available on property so you can grill while taking in the gorgeous views of the ocean and our neighboring islands of Lana'i and Moloka'i.
The barbecues are a very short walk from our unit yet far enough away so that you do not see or hear barbecuing activities from our lanai.

Free Parking:
There is free and convenient on-site parking for one vehicle. NOTE: The parking spaces are a bit tight so keep that in mind if you are renting a large vehicle. Parking is close to the entrance of the unit making it easier to unload your luggage or groceries.

Free WiFi:
Free WiFi internet access is available inside the unit as well as the lobby area.
Please note that the purpose of the unit is primarily for relaxation and is not intended to serve as a home office.

Smoking Policy:
NO smoking is permitted inside the unit, the lanai (balcony) or any of the buildings on the property.

NOTE: No surfboards or SUP (stand-up paddle) boards are allowed to be stored inside the unit or on the lanai.

Golf:
We are privileged to have world class golf courses nearby (within a 5 mile radius). The Plantation Course in Kapalua which is home of the PGA Tour Tournament of Champions is only 5 miles from the condo. It is rated as a top 100 golf course in the world and consistently ranked as the “Best Golf Course You Can Play” in Hawaii.

Check-in & Check-out times:
Check-in time is 3:00 PM HAST
Check-out time is 11:00 AM HAST
Please contact the owner if you would like to inquire regarding an early check-in or a late check-out. I try to accommodate these requests whenever possible but it will depend upon the booking schedule.

Additional Details:
-Please be sure to read the various sections below for additional details regarding what is provided in our unit and on the property to ensure that this unit and complex is a good fit for your vacationing needs.
-This is a condominium unit and not a hotel room; therefore, there is no daily maid service. The unit is professionally cleaned by a cleaning company after every check-out.

Contacts:
This unit is owner managed. Prior to or during your stay, the owner can always be contacted with questions or concerns.
In addition, there is an on-island contact. The on-island contact names, phone numbers and emails are provided to guests prior to arrival.

Great location, beautiful view
Very much enjoyed our week’s stay here. The condo is very well equipped for cooking, bbq’ing, and beach/pool activities. The complex is quiet and well kept, as is the pool. Parking was not an issue the week we were there, we were able to park right in front of our unit nightly. The condo is accurately advertised but we found the living area small for a week’s stay. A picture from the lanai into the living/kitchen area may give added perspective. Appliances are all new and work efficiently- super nice to have laundry in the unit. Great location and close to lots of activities - tourist and local. Communication was thorough and check in/check out was easy.

Spectacular Sunsets, Wonderful Apartment
We absolutely loved staying at the Kuleana. The apartment is technically a 3 floor walk-up, but it was more like one and a half floors, the stairways are short. The views from the lanai were simply spectacular, we spent every evening watching the sunset from our balcony. The bed was large and comfortable, everything was clean. The road outside was a bit noisy overnight, but I slept in earplugs and was fine. Only tiny issue we had was the cable in the living room wasn't working, only in the bedroom. Host was quick to respond via text. We never got it working, but were fine to watch the ocean instead. Absolutely would not hesitate to stay here again. Perfect for a couple.

Great views in Maui
Refurbished condo in Lahaina. Stairs a little steep especially with luggage, but the climb is worth it! Great views from deck/lanai of the ocean and plethora of humpback and porpoise action. Continuously watching 2-5 pods of whales at any time, bring binocs or monocular to really bring them in! End unit on top floor so minimal noise from neighbors. Bedroom on parking lot side so a little noise with window open. Bar height table and 4 chairs on deck were used constantly and cooler and beach chairs available for use. Full size fridge, stove, coffee maker and sink with counter made snacking great. Perfect for a couple with king size bed and walk in shower. Owner was very responsive when I didn't realize that check in instructions were given couple of weeks before. Only issue and really my fault. I would definitely return.

Had zero issues! Nice view, beautiful grounds and pool, nicely appointed and well taken care of unit. Owner provides prompt detailed instructions and useful information. Besides the coin laundry in the complex, this unit has an over/ under which is very nice. We enjoyed the nice patio set for sunsets and meal times. Lots of turtles, but the small sand beach was seasonally not there, lava rock instead.

The View Did not disappoint
The condo was clean and had a lot of things included such as laundry soap, beach chairs, umbrella, clean towels & the list goes on. The property owner included a wonderful book highlighting local foods, activities and answered questions about the property itself. The property is a nice location between Honolua Bay (Fantastic place to snorkel) and Lahaina's Front Street. ***Downside*** (Not the property Owners Fault) The down stairs neighbors smoke Marijuana constantly so if the doors are open the condo will get that smell throughout the rooms.

Sit on the lanai and take in the gorgeous views while doing little else but enjoying coffee or a snack. Ahhhh, maybe a dip in the pool or snorkeling off the resort beach, but the best is simply relaxing. The condo is tastefully decorated and has all that you will need to provide a great stay. Aloha.

Amazing Maui at The Kuleana
We have rented many, many homes and condos throughout the country. I have to say that this was one of our very top three if not number one that we have ever experienced. The pictures were beautiful, but it is even better in person. the accommodations, the little extras that Lily added to the condo, her decorating skills, they are amazing. And the view, wow!! you just have to experience it yourself! We cannot wait to come back. I highly, highly recommend, this condo on VRBO in Maui! Thanks for the memories. See you again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Lily Jensen

Host profile image
My husband and I have a deep love of Hawaii and have visited 6 of the 8 major islands. We purchased our slice of paradise on Maui because it has so much to offer! Maui topped Conde Nast Traveler Magazine’s Best Island in the US list for 22 consecutive years. We love Maui's spectacular beaches, weather and beautiful scenery. Maui is referred to as the "Island of the Sun" and we love the warm weather and being in the sun. Maui is especially significant for us because we were married here. Maui is our "happy place" and as they say, Maui no ka'oi (Maui is the best).

Why they chose this property

West Maui is known for its beautiful beaches, great shopping, fine dining and fun activities. We chose The Kuleana complex in West Maui because of its gorgeous oceanfront location! It is a hidden gem. Having a beautiful view was a priority for us as we spend the majority of our time on Maui outside or on the lanai (balcony). The view from our lanai is truly amazing, making it difficult to leave the unit. We were also impressed with the grounds at The Kuleana. They are beautifully maintained. If you can tear yourself away from the view, the property is within a 5 mile radius of excellent restaurants, shopping, world class golf and numerous activities. The property is not in the midst of the bustling tourist areas of Maui yet close enough to hop in the car and access them when desired.

What makes this property unique

Due to our view of both islands of Lana'i and Moloka'i, we are able to see the sunset any time of the year.
Honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles), are known for swimming in shallow waters and frequent the waters fronting our complex year-round. Just remember: look, but don’t touch. These turtles are an endangered species.
