The perfect Maui getaway
Jim & Kathy’s condo was incredible. Literally right on the water and only a few steps to the beach with turtles constantly visiting! Sitting out on the verandah watching the sunset was amazing. BBQ facilities are right next to the condo as well and the condo comes stocked with all utensils. The AC was a little loud but we tried to avoid using it too much due to the cost of power on the island. Pick this condo over a hotel any day. It’s so much quieter, quaint and beats the hustle and bustle of the busy areas. Overall, a fabulous stay and I wish we stayed more nights than we did!

Awesome place!
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!

Love This Place-Kuleana #408
Truly a Paradise Found! Our favorite place on Maui is Kuleana unit #408 was outstanding. All the amenities you need for an inclusive stay. King bed, AC, ocean front, wave view from inside, and turtles directly below to view. We even saw whales this trip! This Resort is lovely and quiet. Full sized heated swimming pool and BBQ's right outside. We will come again!

Waterfront Paradise
We spent 10 wonderful and relaxing days at Kuleana Resort. The property is very well maintained with beautiful gardens, a large pool, and BBQs cleaned daily. The ocean view from the condo is absolutely breathtaking and you can hear the sound of the waves while relaxing in the living room. The condo had everything we needed, including plenty of towels, bedding and kitchen supplies. We really appreciated being able to borrow a cooler, chairs, and sun umbrella for full days at the beach. We saw turtles swimming in front of the property and especially enjoyed the evening sunsets and tiki torches lit all around the perimeter. Kathy is an excellent host. She provided very clear directions and check-in instructions, along with lots of tips on where to eat and shop. She also checked in on us to make sure we arrived ok, helped us try to locate a pair of “lost” sunglasses (which were later found) and allowed us to check out late to accommodate our flight schedule. Thank you Kathy and Jim for sharing your wonderful vacation home with us!

A little piece of heaven!!
The location is perfect, the beach is right out your doorstep. Even though I was there a short time, saw several rainbows, the grounds are immaculately maintained, so many stars at night, turtles in the waters, close to good restaurants. Edwin the property manager was extremely nice. I had a minor issue and the owner, Kathy, called me right away and resolved it immediately. Without a doubt I would stay there again!

Steps From The Ocean
The view pictures do not do it justice. By far the best unit in the complex. Next to the steps to the ocean, bbq grill and ocean. Unit has everything you would need and then some. It did get hot in the living room by night and it was challenging to cool down but the fans helped.

Perfect Maui Visit
This property was perfection! It could not have been in a more beautiful location. We adored the private beach and the condo's location opening right onto the lawn adjacent to the beach. We saw turtles every single day we were there! And the snorkeling was excellent. So many sea creatures! We also loved the west facing location for gorgeous sunsets at night. The condo had everything we needed for our family of four (two adults and two teens). We cooked and ate almost all of our evening meals on the lanai. I was grateful for the coolers, beach chairs, and beach towels that were provided. The cooler was handy for packing lunches and drinks for our adventures away from the condo. The check in process was easy and we were grateful for an early check in time. We will definitely return to Kuleana next time we are on Maui.

Amazing location
The only bummer about the property is regarding the ladder that leads you to snorkel with turtles. There was no ladder, and the coast line is too rocky to snorkel right there. I recommend the listing is updated to remove the ladder picture and selling point. That said, just swim into the ocean off the beach, and you'll get your snorkel with turtles fix.

Great Condo!
We stayed here with our two little boys and loved it. The location is wonderful and the space has everything you need to enjoy yourself. We were able to beach hop using the sand toys, chairs, and provided towels. We used the pool a few times and saw many people enjoy the barbeques right outside. We even saw a few turtles on the beach below! The resort was quiet and beautifully landscaped. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone!

A dream!
We can't say enough about this place. It is so beautiful and I couldn't stop looking at the ocean right from the patio. We saw turtles on the private beach and snorkeled. The landscaping was gorgeous. We could't get in at first but someone let us in the gate, but after that no problems. I would suggest a couple more beach towels. (only 2 and we had 4 of us) But it also gave me an excuse to buy a pretty flowered one. We had a flight change and our lovely hosts let us stay later then check out so we would have a place until our flight. That was very sweet. I would recommend this place over and over again.

Everything was perfect. The furniture is a bit updated but it's really clean and functional. What a blast to have breakfast in front of the sea. Great property, nice beach, nice snorkeling, and nice pool. I wish I could have stay longer. The only issue is that they gave me the wrong code to access the apartment, Hopefully the security guy has a code. Note if you arrive really late nobody will be there.

Scenic Views for a Small Group Stay
Kathy's place made every day of our stay on Maui start out positively. The view alone is worth it. We would have our morning coffee every day on the patio at sunrise, while we watched dozens of sea turtles swimming in the water just by the beach. It was a great stay and we can't wait to come back!

Great Ocean Front Condo
The location of the property is great, I stayed in front of the ocean with access to a small rocky beach. The property got ocean front BBQ grill so I would suggest to get to mean from Costco during arrival, the grill really helped us saved money by not eating out everyday. This property also have a great view of the two other islands in Maui county and priceless sunset.

Memorial visit
1st I’ll start with the good. Great location lots of stuff to do in the area and convenient to restaurants, shopping and beaches. The condo itself being a corner unit had great views and was right next to bbqs and stairs to go down to see turtles. This was also a negative due to the amount of foot traffic constantly passing our lanai. Kathy was kind enough to let us check in early, which we really appreciated., Now for the negatives. The people are rude! During our 1 week stay we had FOUR notes left on our car. The 1st for not displaying our parking pass (which took 3 visits to the security office to obtain) which was clearly on our dash, 2 for parking on the line in stead of between them (both times because the car next to us was on or over the line when we came home at night). The 3rd was a personal note claiming we clearly didn’t know how to park and were inconsiderate. Our 1st visit to the pool an older man doing his morning water exercises yelled at a lady to turn off her radio, she apologized and said she was on hold with the airline. We thought the womens husband and the man were gong to come to blows and they were in their 70s! On another occasion we had some relatives meet us by the pool. We got the stink eye the whole time for having conversation and laughing. The 10th of many rules at the pool should have been “no fun allowed”. The condo itself was very tired, lighting was atrocious (please change bulbs in living room to something other than fluorescent white), no coffee filters and not a sharp knife in place despite having a ton of utensils. If you are a small couple. In your 70’s, driving a small car and want to be able to hear a pin drop your entire visit this is the place for you. We’ve been visiting family here for 40 years and I can honestly say we’ve never been treated more poorly 😕
