Excellent property and well maintained. Beds were comfortable and unit was well stocked. Great communication from the host. The sunsets never disappointed and were spectacular no matter the weather. Excellent turtle watching/snorkeling in the cove and a top rated beach within a 5min walk. Other great beaches are within a 5 min drive. This unit is also located near many great restaurants (Joey’s kitchen, Sea House, etc).

Rainbows

This is our 4th time staying at this complex...probably the second time in 307. Love the coziness and the lanai. The new landscaping is beautiful. We appreciate the new access to the beach. A lot of showers and wind this time. Beautiful rainbows. First time we have seen a rainbow sitting on top of the water!

Exactly as expected. I was shocked how easy it was to check in, get access, check out. I was concerned about previous mentions of "mean neighbors regarding kids". However, I found quite the opposite. One neighbor brought out a surfboard and gave my kids impromptu surf lessons. Location was great for beach access and walkable distance to food trucks. AC was really key for us as well. Loved each day so much, my daughter cried as we walked out the door.

Best location

Stayed there for a week and it was perfect. Kitchen: fully equipped with everything you will need Bedrooms: beds are comfortable and pillows (I am picky and didn’t have room for mine) were awesome. Bathrooms: all good. Liked you had your own door from the bedroom to the bathroom down stairs. It comes with 4 low folding chairs, towels and sunshade great for the beach. Washer and dryer are really nice to have. View from deck, I have no words. Saw turtles swim by every day. Beach area is great when the tide is low and lots of fish to be seen. Will be back soon I hope!!!

BEAUTIFUL OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY~LOUSY OCEAN ACCESS

My wife and 2 teenage grand~daughters loved the ocean view, whale sightings and the comfortable accommodations. One BIG problem~under construction notification was not descriptive enough or we're we informed the entire pool area was all dug up and both former beach access we're 100% closed and we had go elsewhere every day to go in the ocean. We attempted several times with the prop. mgr. to get a discount for the inconvenience. That never amounted to much! Maui Paradise Properties should be ashamed...

The condo was nice overall. Check-in was easy and it was cleaned thoroughly. Some positives were the large comfy beds, AC units in the living and bedrooms, updated bathrooms and added extras like beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, plus the amazing view. There were some negatives as well, like being a 3rd floor walk up and not having screens on most of the windows. Also, one of the main features we were looking for in a rental was in unit laundry since we were traveling with 6 people, and unfortunately the washing machine was broken during our stay. The owner did end up replacing the washing machine on the last day of our trip. Not having the washing machine meant we had to use the onsite laundry by the office and it was only open from 7am-7pm which was inconvenient with all the activities we had planned during the day. This caused us to have to plan some of our days around when the laundry room would be open, not to mention haul multiple loads of laundry up and down 3 flights of stairs, and you’re only given one bath and beach towel per person to use and they need to be washed after use, especially the beach towels. Also of note, there was a light on in the upstairs bedroom coming from a storage space and no way to turn it off and if you plan on cooking, make sure to buy spices because there are none.

Stayed with a family of 4 here (including children) in June. The unit itself is perfect for any family: spacious, very clean, AC split system units in all rooms that keep the condo cool and quiet (allows to close the windows at night). The condo complex is very quiet with no roosters running in the garden (though, you can definitely hear them at the background from the properties across the road beginning at 2.00 a.m., hence, we kept all the windows closed for the night time). The kitchen was equipped with almost everything you would need for cooking/preparing your meals (except there was no salt/pepper, so pack those ones for sure). The beds were very comfortable, probably medium firm mattresses, including the sofa bed as well. The unit comes with 4 beach chairs, two coolers, a beach umbrella - all you need for a perfect day at the beach. The beach by the property is pretty swimmable during good weather, lots of turtles swimming by every day. The management was very responsive and dealt with the minor issues that came up during our stay right away with no delays (they have their office right on Maui, so they would take good care of you). Again, I would highly recommend this company and this particular unit for a wonderful quiet family-friendly vacation on Maui! Mahalo!

Great family accommodations with amazing views.

Amazing view. We were able to see whales, turtles and more multiple times a day from our balcony. No AC, but definitely cool enough with windows and fans. Easily accommodated our group of 6. No issues with ongoing constructIon. No noise and neighboring buildings provided easy beach access. Only issue we had was that there were no dish towels…Or at least none that we could find. I’m sure that could be on us. Thanks for an amazing stay!

Mahalo from AZ

Great location. You truly can’t get any closer to the water then this. Within walking distance of grocery stores, shopping, moped rentals, restaurants and a fantastic coffee shop called bad ass coffee, less then 5 minutes away. Property was clean & the on-site management was very nice. It is on the third floor, if you struggle with stairs don’t stay here, there is no elevator & a second story with the master & washer & dryer. There is also no AC but the breeze you get from the ocean cools it down well except from 4 to sundown as it’s an east facing condo. That’s a great time to go downstairs & enjoy the pool or ocean. I was really worried about no A/C but it truly was ok without it. We saw lots of turtles from the balcony and an eel while snorkeling in front of condo. There is road noise as it sits off a main road, but there isn’t a ton of traffic and it dies down about 9. Garbage trucks come early, 6ish but Most people are up & about anyway because of the 2-3 hour time difference. We would definitely stay here again. If you’re on the fence about booking it, book it. It’s a great value & location & one of the better looking & kept complexes we saw. Mahalo

Perfect rental

There are a few comments about no A/C on this property. True, but it is not necessary (and I love a cold room). 3rd floor means you can leave the patio screen open and windows on the parking lot side so a wonderful ocean cross breeze keep the whole place nice and cool, and it was 80 degrees outside every day we were there. Great amenities, lots of little extras and easy communication with owner makes this a perfect VRBO.

never closer to ocean

One of the highlights of the trip was how close we were to the ocean. Even in the back bedroom, we heard the ocean easily, all night long. As nice as the location was for that reason, it is a long haul to most places and we did not do the 7+ hour loop to Hana this trip as a result. Just too much driving. We chose the two-bedroom condo because it was on the top floor but while we cooked every meal/every day, it was a little short on supplies has we stayed with more than just the two of us. Otherwise, the unit was mostly clean and mostly updated, although the complex was a bit dated and in need of some improvement, cleaning and repairs.

Review of Kulakane condo

The location and the view from Lanai was very good. However, we were unaware that the building did not have an elevator and our condo was on the third floor so we had to haul all of our luggage, golf clubs and groceries up two very steep flights of stairs. One member of our group had just recovered from knee surgery and could not easily climb the stairs throughout our stay.

The location of the condo is great, really close to Lahaina. The best attribute of the condo is the ocean view, however there is no beach. The appliances are good, better than any other VRBO rental we had previously and washer dryer in the unit are very convenient especially since we went to a different beach almost every day!
