Our folks own 4 weeks here, and we have been staying here every couple of years, since the mid 90's. Not fancy, but if I want the best and latest I will go to one of the big resorts. I love sitting on the lanai, reading the paper and watching the whales and turtles. I can go boogie boarding in the morning, they have a very consistent break, snorkeling later, and grill for dinner. Small units, no A/C in our building, but not needed. We hopped into West Maui airport on this stay, about 5 min. from the property. Grocery store is 1 mile away, you can safely walk the sidewalks there, snorkel equipment is at Boss Froggs, even closer, and they treat you right. Bugs can be a problem, but easily managed, by not leaving food out. I have never heard activity from the other rooms, but that may be because my hearing is shot. Every time I go, I want to stay, or at least buy a unit. The folks that run the place are very decent, and easy to work with. We have had the grand kids over, and they love it. (Rented a larger unit, and then stayed in it after they left, was so nice and quiet.) Will go back again and again, taking the youngest grand-daughter as soon as she is ready for open water. You really can just walk out of your unit, down to the water, and be boarding or snorkeling. The pool is nice, if you are not able to handle the ladder to get in the ocean. We had a sandy beach this year, but you cannot count on that, the currents are active in this area.

Stayed in unit 206 --- We have stayed here numerous times! This particular unit is updated, has A/C, and a gorgeous view of the ocean (and whales)! It can sleep up to 6, although we have only been with 4 of us ! It is great for families and groups. It is close to the road but we love how spacious, cool (thank you A/C!) and updated this particular unit is compared to others we have stayed in at the complex.

We like to use the bbq area overlooking the ocean, well kept grounds, and big pool. This last time, we caught some fish on a day trip and grilled our catches while watching the sun go down. What a memorable night!

Kuleana is in a good location because it close to Lahaina, Napili, Kanapaali, etc.

PS- Highly recommend going to the Gazebo in Napili for breakfast. try the mac nut pancakes, we love it!

All of the Condos in Kahana and Napalii were built in the 1970's. Some are more updated than others, but they are all pretty similar. The Kuleana has a nice location, good parking and a small beach. I did a Timeshare exchange. The 30 Timeshare units are furnished the same. They have tile floors and new appliances. The Queen bed seems small and the Murphy bed is very hard. The one piece plastic tub and shower has seen better days. But it is clean and well maintained. The pool is big and nicely heated. I have included photos taken from my ground floor (#307) unit. I could see whales from my unit. I would grab my binoculars and run across the lawn to the Common Area for a better look. I met other people and talked about our adventures. After two days, I overlooked the thin towels and furnishings and was glad to be at the Kuleana. The back buildings have a lot of parking lot noise and sounds from other units was noticable. But everyone was nice and tried to keep their noise to a minimum. I like being in West Maui. The Kuleana was a good trade for me.

We booked thru vrbo. Unit 616, it was very nice, super close to the water, at most 25 feet. The condo itself was spacious enough for 2 people. 1 bedroom/1bath. Sparkling clean, with all amenities if you wanted to cook, even a grill on the lanai. There were books to borrow in the lobby, plus games, tennis, and a huge pool. Those were the pluses, the minues were that the beach was tiny, the renters/owners older, the walls very thin. (we were in a 2nd floor condo) We quickly learned to walk in very quietly so that the 3rd floor condo people wouldn't blast their stereo to drown out our noise. After that, it was pretty peaceful. Plus, Kahana is a long way from Wailea, where the nicer weather happened to be during our vacation. Our condo was pretty up to date but it really needed a new bed, and she did say she was going to purchase a new one but that didn't help us. Altogether, I would stay again with this owner.
