This was my second stay at the resort. Amazing ocean views and beach access as always. Overall, a good unit, but a few areas could use improvement: the bedroom AC is quite loud, the sofa bed mattress is worn out, and the kitchen is stocked with only the bare essentials. With a few upgrades, this place could be excellent.

As soon as we opened the door and saw our view we were so awe struck. We have stayed at 3 other locations at the Kuleana resort and this was our favorite. The place was updated and they had everything we needed for the beach which was a huge plus. We will be back.

This was the perfect place to stay on Maui! Close to everything we wanted to see and do. We saw turtles from the balcony and the property. We loved watching the sunset from our balcony and I got some great pics! The unit was roomy and comfortable. A/c worked great and bed was comfortable. We didn’t really have any contact with the owner but we didn’t need anything so I guess it was fine. The checkout instructions were a little confusing with different things to do written in multiple places. The only thing we had to complain about was the neighbors smoking a cigar and weed. We thought it was a non-smoking building, but apparently not?? There were a couple nights we couldn’t enjoy the balcony. Other than that, our stay was great! We purchased additional paper towels and soap because you’re only given a starter set, but we knew that going into it. An extra dish towel or two would have been nice too, but we made do. And the clean, newer furnishings more than made up for those couple things!

We enjoyed our stay at the Kuleana. The unit was clean and well stocked with the exception of not having a kettle or an ironing board. We did run out of hot water just after one shower, but it warmed up quickly. We had stayed in another unit at the Kuleana for 2 weeks previous to staying in this one. 714 far surpassed the first unit. Moving from one unit to another is such a pain. We really appreciated the effort made by staff to get us in to this unit earlier in the day.

The location of this unit is prime. The balcony overlooks the ocean and the turtle sanctuary- you are so close you’ll need to close the balcony door to be able to hear the TV! Lanai is a wonderful place to sit, enjoy the view and see whales. When we arrived there was a small beach and easy ocean access for swimming and snorkeling. A storm came up one night and unfortunately the sand washed away leaving no beach and a difficult water access. The room is on the small side with little counter space. Pots are stored in the oven. Bathroom is fairly large and new. Unit could use a vacuum and mop, and cleaning supplies so you can tidy up during your stay. When we arrived 2/6 pillows were clean, others were very stained with yellow stuff and blood. Floor was not washed and there was lots of food under the stove. Every night ants would come out from under the stove. Screen door is difficult to close without a loud sound, yet there is a rule to not slam the door. Parking is very tight and you will get a notice if your tires touch the lines! Grounds are beautiful, BBQ area is lovely and ocean front. Destination Maui desk person got us new pillows, a broom and chairs for the unit. We paid for an extra night, but had to move units on our last day. We were given the wrong door code and couldn’t get ahold of anyone as it was Sunday. Security was unable to help. It cut into our last day and was quite stressful. We packed everything into our car. Finally a maintenance man came and he had the code to our new unit. Obviously the codes don’t change - we wondered about the security of that! The new unit was 507 - this unit was older, furniture dirty, walls needed painting. Beautiful view once again.

Condo was in excellent condition that was stated, very clean, swimming pool, great location. Outdoor grilling location was in great location and Very clean every day. We loved watching sunsets while grilling. Never had to talk to admin or maintenance for any type of help. Although air conditioner needs help, So noisy. Overall a Great vacation location.

You'll be expected to purchase your own toilet paper, soap, paper towels, dish rag, trash bags etc. They leave virtually nothing in their "starter Kit" and likely you'll be washing their bathroom towels as they leave 3 wash cloths and 3 towels. Destination Maui Management takes cheapness to a new level. Cheapness rears its' ugly head throughout with ripped blankets, very limited cooking supplies, burned or missing necessary cooking pots/pans, even salt & pepper aren't furnished! Avoid any of Destination Maui Property Rentals and go camping instead; you'll have much better accommodations!We return to Maui every year and have great experiences renting condos over many years. This is the first time we have ever experienced anything like this. You won't get us again, Destinations Maui Management Company! Rick & Tracy SerranoAttention Condo Owners: Using Destination Maui as your Property Management Company, will ensure you'll have a much higher rate of vacancies, numerous unhappy visitors which =equals less money in your pocket from your investment. We own multiple rentals including a small motel and couldn't imagine furnishing anything like this for guests-and we charge 49.00 a night!

Excellent property.... very nice view. We rented 3 units so that the family could be nearby our condo...Wonderful!
We enjoyed our stay in Lahaina very much. The property is right by the water so you can watch beautiful sunsets and listen to the waves. There isn’t great beach access at the property but multiple beaches are nearby. Parking spots are very small on property (as they are all over Maui) so be careful on your car rental choices. The bed was comfortable and the window air was prefect to keep us cool. If we go back to Maui I would absolutely stay here again.
Tips:
There are two beach chairs, two boogie boards and two snorkels on the patio which were great to use. The umbrella is broken - not worth carrying to the beach. I recommend the farmers market just down the road to the south for a few items for the house - they sell water very inexpensively and have small portions of coffee filters.
