"Fantastic Ocean View"

We loved the location, and the view cannot be beat. Easy check in and the grounds are beautiful. May be a little small but who cares about that. It was a great choice for us.

"Wow!"

We enjoyed every aspect of our stay here! The lanai was perfect and we used it every morning and evening to enjoy the calming waves and gorgeous moonlight nights. Perfect location to explore or just relax and enjoy the island itself. We are already planning a return and we only just left!

"Maui Getaway"

Compact condo, well-equipped. Nice view. . Disappointed that we missed prime snorkeling time as big waves roll in October. Perfect if you a surfer.

"West Maui goodness"

We had a great stay at Kuleana 709. The view is great and the design of the units affords a nice level of privacy despite close quarters. Well equipped kitchen and chairs, umbrella and cooler a great amenity. The grounds are pleasant and watching whales and turtles from the lanai a real treat. Conveniently located and a short drive to many beaches, eateries and Lahaina town. Arrangements were easy and communications prompt, clear and cordial.

"A GREAT PLACE TO STAY"

A nice 1-BR condo right on the beach with great views including whales and turtles. We had a problem with bugs but once brought to their attention an exterminator arrived the same day. A bit dated, but a nice place to stay for the money.

"Lovely place to stay"

Location is directly on the oceanside. Manicured lawn on the grounds, with a small beach right next to it. During our stay, we'd see as many as 7 or 8 whales spouting in the distance while having breakfast on the balcony. At night, there are usually a couple of huge sea turtles resting on the beach. Town center, where all the restaurants and shops are, is a few miles away but quite manageable with about a 10-minute drive.

The interior is clean and comfortable. Kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils, oil and seasoning. I wouldn't say it's spacious by any standards, but it's big enough for 4 people to sleep in (one bed in the bedroom and one pull-out sofa bed in the sitting room) - you don't come to Hawai'i to stay indoors all day so no complaints! The balcony is of a very good size, on the other hand. There are beach towels in the closet and various beach toys on the balcony for you to use.

Booking through VRBO is easy. Checking in and out both went smoothly without any issues.

All in all, a great stay! Will definitely consider again when we return!

"Nice condo with breathtaking view"

We loved our stay in Honokowai. The condo was perfect, equipped with everything you need. Easy to check in and check out. Lots of parking spaces in the parking lot. We had some tiny little unwanted visitors in the apartment during our stay but this is the backside of the thropical climate so we could live with it. Location is perfect, beaches and stores are within 2 minutes by car or 10-15 minutes walking. The compound has it’s own beach where you can meet turtles resting in the sand. Truly wonderful experience. I hope we can be back some day.

"Beautiful and convenient"

Very nice condo with great views. Enjoyed our stay

"Magnificent!"

Couldn’t have enjoyed it more. The location was perfect, the community warm, safe, friendly. Easy to find and use. The unit was beautiful, clean and better than pictured. Everything I could have needed was included. Loved the large lanai with the spectacular view of the ocean, enjoyed it daily. Miranda was wonderful to work with, responsive and accommodating. Will defiantly book again, I can’t wait to come back! Thank you very much.

"Best stay in Maui"

From the turtles outside our door to the relaxing, tucked away cove the resort sits on. This is a must and we are definitely staying here again. Everything we could need was provided. Very clean and comfy!

"Incredible view for the price."

the Value is in the view and location.

"Great!"

This was s great location for our Maui trip. Right on the water with beautiful sunset views and the beach had a ton of sea turtles! Unit had pretty much everything we needed- including a pullout couch so you can sleep in the living room by the ocean if you’d like. We enjoyed it here.

"Incredible location and beautiful condo! A private beach, sea turtles, and whales without leaving!"

A very quiet location with beautifully landscaped grounds and tons of natural beauty. The view is incredible, with the sounds of the waves crashing, lulling us to sleep and waking us each morning. A perfect place to travel with a five-year-old. My daughter loved it! We would love to stay here again on our next visit to Maui! Mahalo!

"Ocean front"

We enjoyed hearing the waves from the lanai. Beautiful sunsets. Several days we saw turtles sunning themselves on the property beach. Very relaxing setting.

"Amazing property. Whales and turtles galore."

Great location. Fantastic rental. Amazingly comfortable bed. Watched whales every day from the Lanai. So many turtles at the little beach to the right. Practically a turtle sanctuary. Have no doubt that you will enjoy your stay here. It has everything you are looking for and more to relax and enjoy Maui to the fullest.

"Bliss"

We loved every second of our stay in this beautiful condo! Perfect location and cannot wait to return one day

"Perfect Location!! Amazing views!!"

Everything you need to take a step back and relax!! The view was incredible. Whale watching and swimming with the sea turtles is AMAZING!! The grounds were beautiful and always very well groomed. I would definitely recommend this location!!

"kuleana 709"

Very nice unit-right on the ocean with a great view-could see whales jumping. Nice air movement through the condo. Unit had nice amenities within it. The resort was quiet and had nice amenities-pool, grills, sitting areas on shoreline. Is close to stores and restaurants. Overall i would recommend this unit.

"Clean, quiet, comfortable, well appointed."

The title says it all.

"Wonderful oceanfront location!"

The location of this place was beautiful. It has a great view of the ocean from the patio with no other sound other than the sound of crashing waves. There is a small private beach that you can go down to just relax or get a dip in the water. This location also has a direct view of sunset!

The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because the parking spots are compact. At one instance we had to park on the line because the car next to our spot was also parked on the line, and in order to give enough gap between the two cars we had to park on the line. We received a warning notice for this, although we had tried our best to park correctly. Other than this, it was a wonderful stay!

"Wonderful place!"

We had an amazing time in this condo! We loved it! The view is breathtaking...the beach is close and snorkeling with the turtles was the highlight of our vacation!
Thank you!

"Beautiful view, wonderful snorkeling, quiet location"

We loved our stay here! The view from the lanai is perfect for coffee each morning and the snorkeling was wonderful. There were always lots of turtles around, which we loved! The Kuleana is quiet and peaceful, yet close to so many things! We loved our stay and will definitely return next time we are able to visit Maui!

"Our favourite place in Maui"

Have been to Maui several times. This is our favorite condo, to date.
We expect to be visiting again soon!

"Great Spot!"

This condo was perfect! We enjoyed 10 blissful days in paradise here. The condo is very private and has fantastic ocean views. We watched whales breaching from the lanai (balcony) and turtles playing in the surf. The way the unit is situated you view grass, palm trees, ocean, sunset views, and views of the neighboring island of Molokai. The unit was well equipped with everything we needed and the furniture was comfortable and in good condition. The property has a huge swimming pool at a perfect temperature and was not crowded. There is a sandy beach and a grassy area to sun bathe. It was quiet and peaceful there. I will be recommending it to my friends and hope it is available on our next trip to Maui. Thank you to Miranda at Paradise Living Properties for making sure everything was perfect. Mahalo and Aloha, 🙂

"Perfect Tropical Getaway-Home Away from Home"

This condo unit had everything we needed to enjoy a perfect week in Maui. It was very clean, comfortable and close to beaches, golf ,shopping and restaurants. The view is outstanding, the complex is very relaxed and people are friendly. It's not overcrowded which we loved. We had some friends that also stayed in this complex during the same week and they spent alot of sunsets at our unit because the view is so great! 2 lil sandy beaches right out front, saw turtles from the lanai daily. Can't wait to go back during whale season! Miranda was so helpful and accommodating. Thanks for a memorable stay, we will be back to enjoy this tropical home away from home.

"AWESOME!!!"

We had never been to Maui before, so we decided to have our wedding & honeymoon there. We looked at hundreds of condos online, and finally decided on Miranda's #709. We were not disappointed!! It is everything and more as described. It was perfect for us! Beautiful view of the ocean, gorgeous grounds, great swimming pool, clean laundry area, great parking, quiet, and everything you need right in the condo, except food! We were so pleased that we decided on #709. We were supposed to check out at 10 am on the 9th, but our flight didn't leave until late that night, and Miranda was so sweet to allow us to check out later, so we didn't have to kill 11 hours driving around. We relaxed at the condo right up until we had to leave for the airport. This is an A++++ condo. We can't say enough good things about it, other than we will be back. We don't feel that we would want to stay at any other place other than 709. Not crowded, and very peaceful. Thanks so much, Miranda! MAHALO!!!

"Million Dollar View"

Great property with a million dollar view. Excellent location, on the island, close to shops, restaurants, and great beaches. Unit was very clean and well equipped. The grounds and pool are very well cared for. The only minor complaint is that the Condo Unit should have easier beach access. You have to scramble down the rocks to access the beach which is only an issue for us older folks. The unit owner was very helpful and emailed detailed instruction about accessing the unit, WiFi connection etc.

"Best Oceanfront Value in West Maui"

Aloha all. I would like to give my 2 cents worth on the Kuleana. . My wife and I have stayed at the Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, and several other 5 star hotels throughout the western world and I am telling you that for the value, location, view, peacefulness, and cleanliness of the property, the Kuleana cannot be beat. Miranda DeSoto was our rental agent and she was AWESOME. As a seasoned traveler I have learned what to ask for and I am not the easiest person to please. Miranda was very patient, extremely helpful, and of all the requests I made, she met every one and more. Miranda gave me better service and attention than I have never received From any 5 star hotel or reservationist. Thank you very much Miranda for your undivided attention to meeting my requests. So, onto the Kuleana review……..
1) If you are looking for a party environment and lots of people….go somewhere else
2) If you are looking for one of the most spectacular ocean front views for the money, then Kuleana is the place.
3) The grounds were beautiful and meticulously maintained.
4) We saw turtles frolicking from our deck every morning, afternoon, and evening
5) We saw a spectacular whale show from our deck one morning with the whales breaching all the way out of the water. This one 3 hr period we saw 18 separate whales surface and/ breach over 60 times. This is one of those mastercard/visa commercial experiences….. (PRICELESS). I have been to Alaska several times and have not seen a show this spectacular.
6) VIEW,VIEW,VIEW, I would recommend the extra outlay for direct oceanfront unit.
7) LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION….. We have stayed in West Maui 5 different times and the physical location of Kuleana is Great. Snorkeling, Swimming, Sunsets, Whalewatching ,direct ocean front entertainment. Only 1 mile from stores, resteraunts, equiptment rentals, or services you neeed.

On the property we enjoyed the heated pool, tennis, and playing shuffleboard everyday. The residents and vacationers on this property were friendly and always made us fee welcome. We cannot wait to go back to the great experience we had at Kuleana.
Overall Rating is 4.5 out of 5. (Why??? No personal barmaid was available)

"Maui vacation"

The condo was excellent and very affordable. Right on the ocean with beautifull views of Moloka'i and Lana'i and a small private beach. The whole place has that island feel and is very comfortable. Sea turtles come out every evening right to the shore.

We would definitely recommend this place to anyone and hope to be back soon. Thank you.
