Third Floor Oceanfront Condo Steps From the Beach in The Peaceful Kuleana Resort
The views from this recently remodeled and continuously upgraded third/top floor direct OCEANFRONT unit are spectacular, with the clear blue-green ocean vista and radiant sunsets over the islands of Lana'i and Moloka'i. From the lanai, you are only 25 feet from the ocean where turtles feed in the rocks just steps from the Magic Beach! Located in the Kuleana resort with only seven 2-3 story buildings, enjoy the best of Hawaii with it’s tropical beauty and unsurpassed views. Kuleana is considered one of the most beautiful and impeccably maintained oceanfront properties in West Maui, offering luxurious living in a peaceful, serene setting. Seasonal humpback whale watching is available directly from our lanai using the spotting telescope or high power binoculars provided in this unit (or take an even closer look with a Pacific Whale Foundation cruise from Lahaina harbor). In addition to the multitude of sea turtles, other sea life such as dolphins, manta rays, eagle rays and monk seals can be seen right outside your door. The property has two beaches and a sea ladder, all providing easy entry into the crystal clear ocean for snorkeling in the private snorkel cove, surfing, paddle boarding, boogie boarding (yes, the waves are good!), kayaking or simply relaxing in the water. A coral reef exists straight out from the property, enhancing the snorkeling, surfing, kayaking, and boogie board activities. This unit was purchased in June, 2015 and completely remodeled as our second home and vacation rental in paradise. All new tropical furniture and decorations have been added to compliment the softly colored walls and insure complete submersion in the Hawaiian experience, with careful attention given to comfort, safety and storage. The top of the line plush firm Cal King bed in the bedroom provides relaxing comfort and support while being lulled to sleep by the sounds of the ocean. Although the ceiling fans in the living room and bedroom are usually sufficient to pull in the cooling trade winds and keep the unit comfortable, the bedroom has a new air conditioner that's large enough to cool the entire 510+ sq ft interior space on those few days in the summer when it's hot and/or humid. The bedroom has ample storage for personal belongings, with a large mirrored closet, mirrored dresser and 15 inch high bed frame to allow storage of large suitcases and extra linens under the bed. The open and well lit bathroom has a large vanity with marble counter/sink and vanity to ceiling mirror. The full size shower has a built in seat and grab bars, which together with the ADA compliant toilet provide ease of access for older occupants. The kitchen includes lots of counter space with the built-in peninsula, as well as all the necessary appliances (fridge/freezer, stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, toaster, coffee maker, blender), glassware, dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, storage containers and non-perishable foodstuffs for those who want to prepare some of their meals themselves (or at least morning coffee and evening Mai Tai). There is a small table next to the kitchen for inside dining (or working on puzzles or other table based games), but we enjoy most of our meals on the bistro table and four chairs on the lanai. The living room has a comfortable queen size sofa sleeper (with 6 inch thick mattress), two swivel rocker easy chairs, coffee table and end table with adjustable track lighting, as well as an entertainment center with an adjustable 40 inch wall mounted HDTV (with premium HDTV programming and DVR, WiFi and streaming from Netflix and Amazon). The grounds, nearly 4 acres in size, are second to none on West Maui. They contain a myriad of meticulously manicured, lavish vegetation along with paths on which to stroll the property. There is a large, heated pool to sun, swim, and relax. Barbeques reside at the ocean’s edge, providing an unsurpassed setting for cooking while watching the sunset. There are a multitude of on-site activities to enjoy, including tennis and shuffleboard and ping pong. The resort lobby has extensive library for your reading pleasure, as well as a concierge for booking your luaus and sightseeing trips. Why pay the high prices for a room in the popular hotels in Kaanapali, Kapalua or Wailea unless you prefer distant ocean views, crowded beaches and eating every meal at expensive restaurants. Our luxurious Kuleana condo is ideal for anyone who wants to control their budget, activities and privacy to suit their own tastes.

Glorious view with everything you need
This place was perfect for our family stay. Gorgeous view and sounds of the water. nice little beach access to the water a few steps away. and close to some amazing huge beaches within 10-15 minutes. we appreciated the snorkle, boogie boards and beach chairs that we could use. very thoughtful! kitchen was perfectly stocked - make fixing meals easy. loved the full wall mirror - expanded the view and feel of the space! appreciated the dresser with guidebooks, games and binoculars :-). Thanks for sharing your great place!

Paradise!
We stayed here 2 years ago and weren’t planning on going on a vacation.
However, we always check out the availability as it gets booked fast. When we saw it was available we booked it immediately! Cannot imagine staying anywhere else.
Kerry & Lynn are great hosts. The up grades and care they put into the condo shows.
Stunning views, great community, very comfortable, all around just paradise!
Our favourite part was waking up and having coffee on the lanai watching the whales & turtles and ending our night watching the amazing sunset, more whales and feeling so blessed.

If you like to see turtles from the comfort of the lanai, then this unit may be right for you.
If you like to walk 15 feet to reach the beach for snorkeling, then this unit may be right for you.

Beautiful views and great location to things we wanted to do. There was a stinky cooler we could not use, one of the Tommy Bahama chairs was broken, along with a leaky face mask and non working snorkel. We could not use those items offered in the description, other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Kuleana Resort
This resort never disappoints us. Wonderful views from the lanai & overall we really enjoyed our stay in this unit. A couple of items that could be addressed. The towel bar in the bathroom was loose from the wall & the shade on the lanai could not be lowered by the crank as it was broken. We manually lowered it. The air conditioner in the bedroom works great but is very loud. The unit itself is very clean but just needs a little maintenance done. Note: the laundry room is no longer coin operated machines so be aware you need to download an app & load money onto the app or purchase a laundry card & load funds. A little confusing but we figured it out. We will return to Kuleana as we love the resort!

Beautiful spot!
We loved our stay at Kerry and Lynne's condo! It was comfortable, inviting, and everything we needed was made available. The communication from our hosts was outstanding and we even got to meet them while we were there! The view from the lanai was so tempting it was hard to leave to do anything else! But right below us was a beautifully manicured landscape and a small beach full of sea turtles. We made it home each evening to enjoy the blowing of the conch shell and magnificent sunsets. The residents, guests, and staff at Kuleana were kind and cheerful. We definitely hope to be back!

Excellent Location, Relaxing Lanai
We had an amazing time at the Kuleana Resort! The lanai was phenomenal - best place to enjoy morning coffee while watching the turtles eating their breakfast below along on the rocks. Seeing the whales offshore with the amazing binoculars provided in the unit was an awesome experience each morning. The unit was comfortable for my family of four (two tween girls). We enjoyed hearing the ocean waves lulling us to sleep each night. Great neighborhood location. Definitely recommend this unit and resort - the turtles are amazing to watch and snorkel with!

Disappearing sand
The last time we were at Kuleana we enjoyed jumping waves and watching turtles. This time we found that apparently storms had taken the sand leaving rough rocks. Actually we were happy about that because it gave us a chance to not feel guilty about lounging around and listening to and watching the waves—just about our favorite activity at Kuleana, and the most important reason we have returned to this property several times!

Absolutely AMAZING!!! Kahana Kuleana Resort, Unit 718
We absolutely loved our stay here!!!
Kerry and Lynne were such wonderful hosts. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to pack lunches for our daily beach/hiking excursions and for eating dinners/ happy hours out on the beautiful lanai every evening. We enjoyed coffee out there in the Mornings. The sunset is absolutely breathtaking from this Lanai.
This condo was comfortable for our small family of 3, our son is 11.
We loved watching turtles 🐢 and dolphins from the lanai. The “magic beach” with sand wasn’t there during our trip, which is very common at allot of beaches in Maui. It stormed the week we got there so the oceans were very rough and choppy. The “magic sand” beach does come and go and would be so wonderful to be there when it’s there to just beach and snorkel straight from the property.
People did go in from the stairs to the beach on the property but we didn’t feel confident that our son could make it back in safely without hitting a rock so, we didn’t enter the ocean from there. As they say in Hawai’i….”if your unsure don’t go in!”
We’re from San Diego and grew up in the ocean so, we understand it very well, the surf and currents can change in an instant!!
I could’ve just slept outside on the Lanai, the ocean view and hearing the waves crashing was just so heavenly!
This condo is situated on such a beautiful part of the island and close to tons of restaurants, shops and grocery stores when you exit the condo to the left or the right, So very convenient!
My favorite lil hole in the wall restaurant for fish was The Fish Market down the street. They catch and sell it the same day. It’s so fresh and delicious! I don’t even eat much fish at home but I ate here almost daily. When we picked up food, we brought it back to the lanai daily, no need to spend the $ for an ocean view restaurant when you have that view!!!:)
Tip: Times Market and Foodland were the MOST affordable on Maui, Safeway is SO overpriced!
Kahekili Beach (Airport Beach) was our favorite to swim and snorkel daily,
So close to the condo. Also our son loved boogie boarding at DT Fleming beach park, it was his favorite!
The property and grounds at Kahana are beautiful and so we’ll kept up. They even have a filtered water refill machine in the lobby which we filled our own water bottles daily. Bring one!
We will definitely be back and stay here!!

Beautiful location but unit needed significant TLC
This location was beautiful. Ocean view, proximity to grocery shopping, gorgeous turtles & activities within driving distance were all great.
Sadly, the unit itself was very unsanitary. Especially the kitchen appliances, utensils, cooking pots and pans, bathroom… etc.
Further, the on-sight laundromat was unkept and uncared for as well.
Caveat: The parking spaces are very small & narrow. When parking, double-check that your vehicle isn’t overlapping the white lines as you’ll receive a very unfriendly & nasty written note on your windshield by management.
Overall, the items of concern referenced above in the unit had not been cleaned properly for some-time. For example, the coffee pot was unusable, and had it been inspected, it would have been obvious the appliance needed to be replaced. As such, we took photographs / video to save as a future reminder. In past, we stayed in another timeshare just up the street from this location in Kahana. A completely different experience, in that the building / unit was built in the same year, but very clean & well cared for with a friendly staff on-sight.
Lastly, the owner’s manual and management of the property was relatively strict, yet they failed to adhere in accordance to their own standards. We left the unit cleaner than when we arrived.
This was an honest review. However, the location, view and cost still allow us to grade this trip as a solid “B”.
