About this property

Oceanfront Groundfloor Condo: Steps from the Lanai/Patio to the Ocean!

The views from this OCEANFRONT unit are breathtaking, with the azure ocean and sunsets over sister islands, Lanaii and Molokai. Step off your lanai and you are only 30 feet from the ocean! Located in the Kuleana resort, enjoy a taste of old Hawaii with it’s tropical beauty and unsurpassable views. It is considered one of the most beautiful oceanfront properties on West Maui, offering quiet, luxury living in paradise. Seasonal humpback whale watching is available directly from your lanai.... and sofa and kitchen! In addition, watch the multitude of sea turtles, and on some occasions other sea life such as dolphins, manta rays, eagle rays and monk seals, and surfers right outside your door. The property 'often' has two beaches, 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. Note that the beaches are not a guarantee as there are times that a storm can take the sand away, but will eventually return it. A coral reef exists straight out from the property, enhancing the snorkeling, surfing, kayaking, and boogie boarding activities. Fishing is also popular from the beaches.
The unit is well-decorated in tropical designs. Fans are located in the living room and bedroom. The living room has a comfy sofa with direct oceanfront views. The kitchen has a bar counter with seating for four, looking out to the ocean as well. The bedroom has a California king size bed and is equipped with an air conditioner. The kitchen has all the amenities of home. The bathroom has a glass block, walk in shower with room enough for two. WI-FI and cable TV are also included.
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, heat-controlled pool at which 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 in which to enjoy. Tennis and shuffleboard courts reside on-site. An open air lobby offers ping pong, an extensive library for your reading pleasure, and has a concierge (certain days only) for booking your luaus and sightseeing trips.

Nearby activities are abundant, and one can enjoy the island without even renting a car! The property is within walking distance of the famous Kaanapali Beach with its fantastic restaurants, shopping, and beach-going activities. There are also many local restaurants, a farmer’s market, grocery stores and a multitude of beach parks. The Maui bus stops right in front of the property and will take you all over the island for a mere $8 per day.

My standard rates are $220 per night.

Beautiful Stay in Maui

We loved our stay here. The view out the patio to the ocean is just beautiful. We loved opening up the door and watching and listening to the waves come in. We were there during whale season, and could lounge on the lanai with some binoculars and watch the wales breaching in the waters. Sea turtles were also swimming around the rocks below. Just an amazing spot! The neighborhood was great as well. We found Bad Ass Coffee just down the street, which had amazing coffee. There's also Miso Phat Sushi up the street, which had amazing sushi. Both within walking distance. It was also a quick drive to Whaler's Village and Kaanapali Beach. Just a great central location.

What a week <3

Incredible location and a comfy place to relax after a dry, sunny day :) which is every day in Maui, apparently. Most areas of the beach were relatively easy to get down to--one of those storms probably took away some of the sand before our visit, but we didn't mind climbing down a few larger rocks to get to the sandy part. If you're like me and want to spend as much time as possible on some sort of beach, there are several other access points a 5-10 minute walk north or south that are just as beautiful, and usually don't have that many other people around. The south one also has a bunch of stores and a farmer's market across the street. On our last day I went to the north beach and a group of sea turtles were feeding so close to the shore that they kept bumping into me with the tide. So, if that's the kind of vacation you're looking for... The condo itself was clean and well-maintained--possibly a bit on the older side?, but all the appliances worked, and Neil was really helpful and responsive the whole time. The snorkeling equipment was a nice bonus. A/C is only located in the bedroom, but it was definitely cold enough for us. And why would you want to be inside when you're in Maui anyway?! (Long story short: 100% recommended unless you hate sunshine and palm trees)

What a dream view

The description of this property for the picturesque views of Moloka’i, Lanai, whales, sea turtles and spectacular sunsets sitting right from the lanai were spot on. What a great place. We would recommend a visit. The resort itself was very clean and friendly. We did do a lot of cooking since we stayed for three weeks. If I would have a negative to state (since nothing is ever perfect) it would be not a large variety of kitchen items for preparing, cooking and storing food but we really were able to make do. Would that stop us from visiting and booking again…absolutely not. Neil the owner was super accommodating, gave great suggestions on places to visit, and other info as well. Thank you Neil for sharing this treasured getaway.

Not What I expected

The location was great. The view from the lanai was beautiful! Price was good. It was oceanfront. But there are a lot of things that did not meet up with the description. In the description it says that it was beachfront there is only a steep hill/wall and black rock in front of the condo/property. There is a beach down the way in front of a different building.. Not sure how we were to get there. There was fence between the properties. It also states the condo has A/C. It does but only in the bedroom and did not work very well. It was dripping water by the power strip it was plugged into along with 2 other things. It was also very noisy. There are ceiling fans in both rooms. The living room fan made terrible noises so turned down the speed to low to make the noise stop. Had to use 2 other fans they had to keep it comfortable. There was no hot water, it took about 15 min to get it to lukewarm in the shower(that is a lot of wasted water) so basically took cold showers. Had to heat water in the microwave to do dishes. The front screen door had duck tape on it so it would not latch because if it did there is no handle on the inside to get out. The screen door on the patio door did not lock so you could leave the sliding glass door open at night so the cool breeze could blow in. The paint on the kitchen cabinets is peeling off. Also the TV did not work. It also says it has a washer and dryer making you think it is in the condo, it does not. There is a laundry room in the building some where. You should also note that you have to go downstairs to get into the condo. We did try to contact the owner by email about the TV he got back to us the day before we were to leave. He told us we should of called his friends number because he was out of the county and his phone did not work there. I just prefer email. I guess I should of tried texting. We were only there 3 nights so all the other things could not of been fixed in that short of time. This place has a lot potential. I would not stay here again. This is the first vrbo we have ever rented. If I do it again I will do more research of the property. The picture you see is taken from the property next door I think.

Great Location!

My husband and I stayed here for 9 nights in October. The location is amazing. RIGHT on the water. It was actually pretty hot while we were in Maui. Most days it was 88 and not a lot of breezes. That being said, there is only a small A/C unit in the bedroom so the condo stayed pretty warm even with us opening everything up at night and closing it up during the day. The coolest we got the condo was 78. The island in the kitchen is really low, so if you're tall it is awkward to sit at. The only table and chairs are outside on the lanai which was fine but if it's raining you might want to eat inside so a small bistro table inside would be nice. Two days into our stay we decided to run a load of dishes in the dishwasher. We were sitting outside(good thing we were there) and the whole kitchen had flooded. It took all of our towels and our beach towels to clean it up. I reached out to the owner and he informed me that it had been broken for a couple of months and he thought the housekeeper had put up a sign. He told me he had the new dishwasher he was just waiting for a few vacant days. I told him we are VRBO owners ourselves and get it so please tell your handyman he can come anytime during our stay. I asked him if he had a dish drying rack and he said that he did not. I guess I just thought if it had been broken for a few months he would have changed the listing stating that he had a dishwasher and he would have purchased a dish drying rack. He had his housekeeper bring all new towels but never heard back about the handyman coming to install the new dishwasher. We have had to fix things on our VRBO while guests are at our house and people have always been fine with it. So, was it the end of the world, no. Do I like to wash all dishes by hand on vacation, no. You will love the location for the sunsets!

5 Star Potential 3 Star Condition

This place has SO much potential. Amazing location, right on the water, beautiful sunsets and even the layout of the place works great for couples. With just a small investment in time and money, they could charge double. Pros: - The price really was amazing for a condo right on the water - The location was perfect, not only do you have a direct view of the water and the sunset it's also a 10-minute walk (if you want) to many stores and shops in an area that isn't bombarded with people like the resorts. - Being on the ground floor made it super simple to enjoy the sun the sand and snorkeling areas. Upper-floor condos force you to walk around the back of the building and carry your stuff with you everywhere but this unit you just walk outside. Easy access to grab lunch or a drink real quick and head back out. - Communication with the owner was good, a little weird as he had certain emails where he could receive things and didn't really text for info. Wanted to call, which I'm not sure people do anymore but ultimately things went well. - Check-in: there really isn't one which is so nice after a long flight and getting your bags and driving to the other side of the island, the last thing you want is to stand in line. You literally pull up, ask the security guy for a parking pass and you're done. - Comfy bed - Beach chairs were nicer and newer Cons: - It's pretty dated. I few newer pieces of furniture would be nice but if you're in Maui to stay inside you're doing it wrong. - The unit can get really hot in the afternoon as the sun comes in directly and the main room has no AC and at the time we were there the floor fan was not working - AC in the bedroom works but during the hotter time of year it doesn't really keep up - Seems like for our trip the unit wasn't stocked very well. We ran out of toilet paper and had to go buy soap for the shower. Maybe that is normal but it wasn't noted anywhere - TV remote was out of batteries and I struggled to find any in the unit but was able to at least swap them out of another remote. - Shower needs some love. Very difficult to get water that wasn't ice cold or super hot. - boogie boards were all kind of old and torn up which wasn't a huge deal for us as we just used them to float around - Snorkel gear provided was sort of a mishmash of leftover parts. we could only barely salvage one mask set to work. Not fun to snorkel alone so we bagged it. Overall totally worth it. With some love it would be perfect

Perfect spot with amazing views

The check in process was a breeze and the property was exactly as expected. I can't say enough how beautiful the views are from the ground floor Lanai. You have access directly to the ocean from there and there are boogie boards, beach chairs, ubrellas, a cooler - basically everything you need for a great beach day. The fridge also has an ice maker which was an excellent plus! As others have said the ammenities within the unit are a bit dated but it still has everything oyu'd need. The bed is comfy, air con in the bedroom, lots of fans, many utensils and small appliances you'd need for your stay. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Great Stay!

Superb location! It’s quiet and feels private and secluded. We enjoyed all of Maui but always looked forward to returning to our little paradise. Given the time of year of our stay, we got to watch a constant parade of whales. And the turtles were fun to watch as well. And did I mention the sunsets?? Hope to come back in the not-too-distant future.

About the host

Hosted by Neil

Host profile image
I am a software engineer from San Jose, California. I have many hobbies including on road and off road motorcycle riding, racing cars, hiking, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, photography, and cooking. Maui is the perfect place to enjoy many of these activities. Being only a 5 hour flight away from San Jose or San Francisco, Maui has become an ideal vacation getaway for me.

Why they chose this property

On my first visit to Maui, I stayed at the Kuleana Resort. I quickly discovered that I loved the island of Maui and wanted to return year after year. After looking at other resorts in the area and what they had to offer, I found that the Kuleana resort was far and above the others because of the fantastic oceanfront location, the lush tropical grounds, and the magnitude of onsite activities and amenities. I purchased this condo for my personal vacations and to share the Maui experience with others.

What makes this property unique

Spending time at the Kuleana has become my favorite pastime. Being an avid bbq’er this is the ideal vacation home as it has a full kitchen, a full size fridge/freezer, and four common bbq grills right at the ocean’s edge. I can bbq while watching the amazing sunsets, sailboats passing by, and an array of active sea critters such as the big green sea turtles, manta rays/spotted eagle rays, whales during whale season, and even occasional sightings of dolphins, flying fish, and Hawaiian monk seals. On one occasion I even had the opportunity to bbq a 3 pound octopus I caught spear fishing on the reef just offshore from the condo! I also enjoy simply lazing around, enjoying the beautiful views, sunsets, pool, and gardens.
