The Kulakane, Lahaina HI

We had a perfect 5 day stay in 213. Ocean right outside the lanai - can stay their all day and not have to go anywhere. The sound of waves - so relaxing. No AC needed - just open the lanai door and let the breeze do the work.

The unit had snorkeling gear, beach umbrellas, beach towels, coolers and also some water shoes. All sorts of kitchen equipment, dishes, cups, glasses as you would expect.

Multiple Sea turtles every afternoon and a very beautiful sunset. Enjoyed blowing of conch shell at sunset.

Free parking, completely safe and Close to all sorts of shopping. Laundry was 1.25 washer and 1.25 dryer.

Overall a perfect place for a relaxing vacation.

I thought long and had before doing this review. We stayed here last week for 5 days.the issue isn't with the condo but more so the cleaning staff. It was clear that the place hadn't been clean good in awhile. There was dust build up on the stove top, stains on the wall in the bedroom and bathroom that i was able to easily remove with a wet towel. The first thing i saw when i walked into the bedroom was a candy wrapper and what appeared to be a vitamin on the floor. My husband found long strands of hair in the bed that did not belong to me nor him. The shower floor was sticky, the glass in the shower clearly hadn't been clean in awhile. This was our first time staying here, we normally stay at the condos up the street but everyone was book aside from this location. I informed the manager of my concerns and sent the cleaning crew to come clean again but i had already cleaned up most of the errors due to the fact that i did not trust them to do much seeing as how they missed simple things the first go around. All they did this time was make the bed (not change the sheets) and run the dishwasher. Keep in mind i had already ran it before we left so they just re washed the dishes i already washed because the ones in the cabinet were not clean. I normally just call it a lost when i have bad experience and never write a review but for the amount of money spent to stay here the lease they can do is clean properly. The manger seemed very sweet but the cleaning crew failed! Lets not mention the two roaches we saw in the kitchen on day 2. Very disappointed.

We rented a condo here and the view is better than any hotel I have stayed. We saw whales everyday during our stay in February.

Unit 209 at The Kulakane. What a lovely spacious place. It is a great location with fabulous views of the ocean. Being on the second floor was great for letting in the sounds of the ocean yet still having privacy. It appears the unit has been mostly remodeled. Everything looks fresh, clean and modern. The queen bed was very comfortable plus there was a murphy bed in the family room for extra guests or for sleeping close to the ocean. The walk-in shower was wonderful. It was nice to have chairs to use at the numerous beaches close by. Nick and Ashley made great recommendations of things to do and places to eat. Debbie was very welcoming and helpful if we needed anything. Toni was spot on keeping the place nice looking all the time. We will definitely stay here again.

Went out and spent a week with my family at the Kulakane #209. The staff was so friendly with my kids and really made them feel at home the second we got there. I could not believe the views. The unit is just steps to the beach. Great look at the sunset from the patio every night. The unit itself was 2 units wide and the whole one side of the unit is all windows to take in all the views.
The inside of the unit had been remodeled and felt so clean and comfortable. We would go back in a second! We had the time of our lives!

We loved room 209! It's spacious and well decorated. The lanai is amazing with beautiful views. The kitchen has everything you will need and then some. The best snorkeling is right behind the condos. Debby and Tony the on site managers were super helpful. We already plan on going again. Thanks Kulakane!

This is a difficult review because there are multiple businesses involved. Our unit itself was clean and basically in order. The complex itself However is tired and worn out. The grounds keeper and staff do an excellent job and was very friendly and respectful. The laundry room was clean and in good repair. The garbage and recycle sorting area was very clean and organized. However the problem is the capital improvements have been neglected. We booked the place seeing pictures that are quite different that the 17 pics I am about to post. If these pics are removed by the establishment just know the lawn is mostly green outdoor carpet covering the neglected maintenance issues. In one corner there is caution tape because the concrete patio is broken and hollow beneath due to erosion (dangerous). In one pic It appears Pool chairs were stacked to keep people away from other similar danger. Another pic shows an orange caution cone sitting in a hole. We were contacted days before our stay advising of the potential the lawn and pool would be inaccessible due to construction and heavy equipment to repair the sea wall. While construction did not fully commence beyond materials being delivered, trust me when I say the area was already near unusable. The management company sold us something very different than the reality we found. At the same time the management company did make an effort by replacing the broken cooler, coffee maker and small microwave on the third of our 10 day stay. So what’s good?: The complex is so close to the ocean the white noise of crashing waves will lull you to sleep. Our unit had no AC and it wasn’t needed with exception of late afternoon. It cooled during the night especially with the help of plenty of fans. The large sliding Lanai door stayed open (screen door closed) our entire visit. We often kept the front door open to help cool it off in the afternoon. My apologies for the excessively long post. I wanted to be thorough but fair. Buyer beware. Please hit the like if this was at all helpful.

Have stayed in 309 and 209 and loved our amazing views from the lanai being right on the ocean. We watched whales from our lanai in January and sea turtles swim just past the seawall everyday. Each unit is individually owned so some are really updated and modern just got to pick the right units. Love the feel of the property. Good mix of owners, repeat guests, and new guests make the pool and common areas a real melting pot. Lots of new people coming to kulakane and it’s more family friendly then before. There is a small pool, lots of chairs and loungers to lay out and small beaches on each side of property. Great beach just down the road. Grocery store, restaurants and coffee shop within 1/4 mile. On site Managers Tony and Debbie are the best. These units Do not have ac but you don’t need it being ocean front with all the sliders and windows open 24/7 I wanted to feel the ocean breeze, lots of indoor / outdoor space from the living room to the lanai. Nothing like falling asleep to the sound of the ocean 40 feet away. Washer and dryers down stairs, free parking and high speed Internet. Feels safe and comfortable here for me and my family.

Our first time in Maui and this place is just wonderful
We stayed in 114 on the first floor. The ocean is in the back yard. The views are just beautiful
There is a small private beach access where you can see Turtles swim right up to feed on the rocks.
The landscaping is Beautiful!
Watching the sunset here is the perfect spot
If a unit here becomes available for purchase, put me on the top of the list

We stayed in unit 209, it had just been redone. Very nice, clean unit with all the amenities. Super cutie, well decorated and comfortable. This place is beautiful, great price, super friendly staff, awesome location. The sunsets are amazing right from your balcony. Debbie and Tony were great hosts! We can't wait to return to Maui and stay at the Kulakane!

I believe these units are all privately owned and rented, so this review may be slightly invalid for rooms other than 305. For all the units though, the view is amazing. You can see both Moloka'i and Lanai right from your porch. Sea turtles, dolphins and whales (during season) can be swimming in between these islands too. Absolutely gorgeous. The unit itself wasn't nearly as great; don't get me wrong, it is by no means bad, it's just meh. The beds and decor were fine, there were tons of essentials that you would expect at a condo and some. However, there were some drawbacks. The microwave and other small appliances barely warmed your food. There were only enough towels for 4 people to have one each, which wouldn't be a problem if there were washers and dryers in the units. There is a pay laundromat at the office, but its closed at 7, so we never could make it down there in time. Overall, nothing was a deal breaker, and we had a lovely stay. Oh! The beach access for these condos is not super family friendly, but you can walk just down the road for a sandy beach to enjoy.

Nice views. Small unit I was in. Walking distance to the beach, park and some restaurants.

We stayed in unit 203 for the past week. I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend it to family and friends.

Pros: Very private balcony with amazing views. Nicely updated. Nicely decorated. Awesome walk in closet in the bedroom that worked great for a mini bedroom for our toddler to sleep. Has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay.

Cons: it was very clean other than the sheets in the couch bed hadn’t been changed. We brought it to the management’s attention and they were quick to get it taken care of. The carpet in the master bedroom could use a deep cleaning, or replacement. The power outlets are not secured in the wall in multiple spots. That is something that definitely needs to be addressed. The main reason I am calling out the flaws is in hopes the owners will see and fix what needs to be fixed. It’s a great unit and other than a few fixes it’s a perfect place to stay.

I would give them a ten (10) if I could!
They have become loved friends after many years! I’ve stayed in five star hotels in New York and around many countries. THEY DON’T HOLD A CANDLE TO THIS PERFECT PLACE!
It’s immaculate and they fix any problem immediately! I look forward to the month I spend there! Sheila Jones
