Oceanfront at Kuleana - Ground Floor Condo Steps from Ocean - 5 Star Reviews

The pictures did not lie! We knew it was ocean front and in person it is better than ever! Daily, we watched the ocean come to life which included turtles feeding on the rocks, whales breaching and dolphins playing. It was simply magical! As a bonus we watched the best shooting star show, no light pollution and they were twinkling so bright and shining. Breathtaking!

The accomodations were cleaning and comfortable. It had everything we needed. People who live and stay at this property are so wonderful too. Nightly, as people BBQ'd, we had many people tell us how lucky we were staying in the best unit, and I could not agree more!

The owners were wonderful to deal with which is a bonus. Simple transaction, easy and friendly. Excellent communication. Value was excellent.

We recharged, reconnected and rested. We loved it so much and we will return!

It's hard to say enough about this place. The view is to die for. Ocean, the islands of Molokai and Lanai, and the sunset every night. The location in the condo complex is perfect - ocean front; corner unit so there's ample light; ground floor so it's walk out to the golf-course-quality lawn; the BBQ grills are immediately to your left so it's like having your own outdoor kitchen; walk 100' to the right or left to secluded beaches, or straight ahead to the rocks and a fishing/snorkeling spot; and the pool - which is REALLY nice - is immediately behind the unit. I mean really, what more could you ask for? The complex is quiet, meticulously maintained, and locked at all times. To give you an idea of how well this place is kept? They scrub the BBQ grills every single morning, so they're like new when you cook that day. There is a person who goes around lighting the torches all over the complex every evening at sunset. It's picturesque. There's one right in front of your lanai.

There are two beaches associated with this complex. One tiny sliver of sand to your right (as you look at the ocean), where you can sit peacefully by the rocky shore typically alone or with a giant turtle resting next to you on the beach. One to the left, which is really nice, sandy, uncrowded, shade! Good swimming.

The condo itself is well equipped and very comfortable. The bed is sort of interesting. It has a thick pillowtop that gives you the feeling like you're sinking into a marshmallow. Somehow it makes for a very relaxing sleep. The shower is large. The kitchen small but typical for most condos of this sort. The most challenging thing is regulating the condo temperature. You get afternoon sun which gets hot. Use the shades in the front to keep from boiling in the afternoon, and keep the doors and windows open for a great breeze. If you like it cooler at night, there is an A/C unit in the bedroom which cools that room very nicely (close the bedroom door for the best effect). The white noise is pretty loud but we had no issue with it. (It's a shame central air wasn't really common when all the many condos in HI were built.) Enjoy the open air during the day though, or you're missing the joy of Hawaii's constant wind.

Finally, the owners - Kathy and Jim - get a big shout out for their wonderful help and support for their renters. They have been renting for over a decade and know how to make things perfect.

Six stars. If I could live on Maui, I'd consider here.

We had our whole family with us including our two young grandchildren . They entertained the pool crowd very effectively. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Even saw a whale while on the submarine tour.

The view, the ocean literally 20 steps away, the nearby beach, and the great hospitality from Kathy and Jim made our stay memorable. The pictures on the site cannot do justice to the view outside the patio, while the place inside has the all the amenities one needs. We realized after visiting Kaanapali Beach that we could've just stayed in and enjoyed a similar experience but without the crowd and concrete structures.

The service from the owners was none other than outstanding. Not only were they a call away for any question or help needed to figure things out around the house, but they offered an extremely late checkout which you would never expect at any hotel or most condo units. As we were vacationing with a 1 year old baby and had an evening flight, we requested a late check out past 11am, and were offered to stay till 4pm! That just made our day and journey back home so much easier to avoid the hassle of being outside with the baby all day. Absolutely recommend the place to any one. Thank you so much for everything Kathy and Jim.

We really enjoyed our stay! The location is amazing - steps away from everything, including the BBQ, pool, and water. The boogie boards and inflatables were a nice bonus and our kids had an amazing time. Each morning we were able to view sea turtles and each evening enjoyed a sunset dinner from our lanai. We will definitely be returning next year! Only thing that would have improved our stay is a small vacuum to clean up any sand that inevitably comes in with the kids.
