This property was amazing! Perfect, quiet location with water, beach and grass right in front. We loved watching the whales from the lanai. Everything was clean and exactly as explained. Would love to go there again!

Unbelievable Anniversary Vacation

Guest: Kathy (Camano Island)
Date of Stay: 10/07/11 Review Submitted: 10/16/11

Our 5th anniversary and 5 years since our last visit to Maui. This location was very convienent to all amenities: market, beach, pool, town, snorkeling, restaurants. The property grounds were gorgeous and well maintained as well as the condo. We could hear the waves crashing at night in the bedroom. We will never stay at a hotel again. We enjoyed cooking out and watching the sunsets. Everthing in the condo was great. We would recommend this property to all. The Trilogy snorkel trip was great. They are a class act with good food too! The Napli market was very nice compared to the Times supermarket. Renting snorkel equipment is the way to go but upgrade to a better mask. We loved watching the turtles. Have never seen so many in one place and right outside your door. Thanks for letting us use yuor home and we will return. Kathy & Gregg Neitzke Camano Island, WA

We've stayed twice, and love the condo's! Very nicely decorated, great location, and the views are unbelievable! We highly recommend these condos to anyone going to Maui to enjoy the days, and relax. The BBQ's are right around the corner, and they are a great social setting every evening. Beautiful sunsets, whale watching, we'll be back again!

Maui on my mind

We stayed at Kathy and Jim's Condo from June 19th -29th 2011. The condo was very clean and comfortable. The location is perfect! Kuleana is a beautifully kept condo resort. The grounds are lovely and the heated pool was great. You can't get any better oceanfront than this. The sound of the waves, the turtles feeding on the rocks and the beautiful sunsets every night are just a few of the amenities. Two of our girls stayed in the unit that adjoins this one and that worked really well for us, together but separate when we wanted to be. Great snorkeling at Honolua Bay and off of Molokini, the Maui Ocean Center, the road to Hana, sunrise on Mt. Haleakala, the slack key guitar festival at the Maui Arts and Cultural center are just a few of the activities we did. Looking forward to coming back in the winter months to see the whales. Thank you Jim and Kathy for sharing this little piece of paradise with us. Frank and Kathy Halm

Beautiful location

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful condo. The location was amazing with snorkeling and swimming at our doorstep. The nightly sunsets from the lanai were only enhanced by the barbeques being right outside our door, enabling us to grill up our dinner, enjoy cocktails with the neighbors and watch the whales the entire time. We could not have scripted a more enjoyable vacation. We'll definitely be back.

Outstanding views of Lanai and Molokai

This condo was an excellent place to stay. It is clean and well maintained. The views of Lanai and Molokai are beautiful, with the sunset each evening over Molokai. Right outside is a snorkel ladder where you are immediately joined by turtles. The pool is also right outside door. This is also a quiet area away from traffic, but is close to stores and restaurants. The grocery store in Napili is very good and about 5 minutes away. Thank you for the stay. We will definitely do it again!

Disappointed

Date of Stay: 03/19/11 Review Submitted: 07/20/11

We thought your view of the ocean,of the grounds and flowers, and of the giant sea turtles was fantastic!!!!! We loved all the activities that we could do around the island and on the ocean. We were disappointed that you didn't have a shade to bring down on your patio to block out the heat and sunlight from coming into the unit. The blinds on the sliding glass doors were too light and people could see into the livingroom/dining room. With that hot western sun shining in the apartment the unit just couldn't cool off, even with the ceiling fan. Also, people barbequed into the night and could see through the blinds on that southern side and when they walked by the front of the unit they'd look through the front blinds on that sliding glass door. We tried to let some cool air into the livingroom, but I found out that I couldn't walk around with my nightie on because people would look through both blinds of the sliding glass doors!!!!!!!! No privacy!!!!!!!!!. We'd turn the lights off in the livingroom but with the TV lights shining, people could still look into the unit by looking through either or both of the sliding glass doors even with the blinds down. You need darker shades for keeping out the heat and for keeping people from looking in. I would not recommend this unit to any of my friends until you address changing the blinds on both sliding glass doors and also by putting another shade on the front patio like other units have to keep out the heat and sunlight!!!!!! Also, my husband thought you should write directions down on how to use the remote control with the TV. He had to stand up and change the channels on the TV by hand. Please consider my suggestions to improve your guests stay.

Owner response:The condo is decorated and loved by us and numerous returning guests exactly the way it is which includes the solar shades. The solar shade fabric is a sun control (glare reduction / heat reduction) fabric with a 5% openness factor blocking 95% of all harmful UV rays. During day you can not see into the condo when the shades are down and at night you see shadows. It's a tradeoff of being able to enjoy the view during the day with the shades down. The condo is oceanfront. There are no shade trees in front, only the ocean. When the sun sets it does shine off the water and directly into the condo for approximately 1 hour. The condo does cool down by turning on the livingroom ceiling fan and opening the sliding glass doors for the tradewinds. Also, the bedroom has a ceiling fan and a temperature controlled air conditioner. The TV remote is an universal standard remote that operates both the TV and the DVR. Therefore, the switch has to be moved to TV to operate the TV or DVR to operate the DVR. If previous guests were using the DVR they may not always switch back to TV. Nothing fancy here only the standard remote.

Wonderful condo in great location!

We enjoyed absolutely everything about this condo. It was clean and well maintained, as were the grounds of the property. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai watching the sunsets and were able to spot whales from there one morning. My husband swam with the sea turtles several times, and we both enjoyed the beach and the pool. We walked to the Farmer's Market and the grocery store a couple of times. I would also recommend the "Summit Deluxe" bike tour with Haleakala Bike Company in Haiku. Alex was our guide, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Kuleana Condo - a Great Maui Experience

We stayed for a week in the ocean-front condo with sunset views of Molokai and Lanai. The condo unit was perfect with all the necessities needed for a relaxing stay. Plenty of snorkling right at the beach and the pool, crystal clear, was awesome. We really enjoyed ourselves.
