Photos and Description of the Kahana vacation condo rental

CONDO 322

Entering 322 for the first time is a very special experience. The stunning view of the Pacific reaches across the apartment and stops you in your tracks even before you set foot in the living room. You know instantly that you are about to have a wonderful vacation. The lanai is just 45 yards from the water’s edge and offers stunning views of the ocean and the islands of Lanai and Molokai. You can watch whales in season (December to April) and rainbows and sunsets unparalleled throughout the year.

This is a very private condo. It is a top (3rd) floor end unit. There is no one above you and only one unit next to you separated by a thick block wall. There is a complete kitchen with all dish ware and cookware. Parking and wireless Internet are provided free of charge.

KULEANA RESORT

Kuleana is a boutique resort. It is not a Kaanapali high rise, high density type resort. You will never feel crowded. You will never have to wait for an elevator. You will never have to look up to see the sky. It is a very peaceful place. Low rise condos are surrounded in beauty, on 4 acres lush with tropical gardens.

To snorkel or just lie on a beach, most locations in Maui require you to drive somewhere, but Kuleana, subject to weather conditions, has its own SECRET – a pocket beach, a beautiful little cove situated within the gated grounds. While you will not find coral formations that equal Kapalua Bay (just 2.3 miles north), you will be able to snorkel among schools of reef fish, swim among green turtles and yes, just lay out on a sandy beach without leaving the resort.

For variety, both Kahana Beach and Honokowai Beach Park are within a ten minute walk. And the best snorkeling in Maui is just 2.3 miles north.

We have a very large heated swimming pool suitable for lap swimming, a newly surfaced tennis court and a shuffle board court. In the lanai-like lobby you will find a ping-pong table, an honor library, an activity booking desk and reception. There is an on-site coin laundry and free parking. A popular feature of the resort is the four BBQ grill area situated on the ocean’s edge. Watching the sun set over the sea and the lighting of the tiki torches, while grilling, is a memorable experience.

LOCATION

Conveniently located, Kuleana is just 2 miles from Kaanapali / Whalers Village and 6 miles from Lahaina. Both provide a wide variety of shopping, dining, entertainment and outdoor activities. If you don’t want to drive, there is a bus to take you to both for $1. Within walking distance of the resort there are restaurants, cafes, a farmers market, a fish market (everything caught that day!) a supermarket and even an ABC store. Kuleana is located between Kapalua and Kaanapali, which means there are four golf courses within three miles of the condo and another ten courses within a 40 minute drive.

About Jim

Judy is an RN and an extraordinary cook. Jim is a playwright. They live in San Diego, but Maui has been a part of their lives forever.

Jim purchased this condo in 2012
Why Jim chose Kahana

While vacationing nearby one day, we wandered into Kuleana on our morning walk, and it was love at first sight. We had never thought of buying a condo in Maui, but long after our return home, Kuleana persisted in our memories.

What makes this condo unique

There is a peaceful bliss about the place. The little pocket cove beach, the abundance of turtles, the tiki torches in the evening, grilling fresh fish from the local market while watching the sun set, sitting on the lanai with a glass of wine while the stars come out, oh my!

Beautiful Kuleana

We have stayed in several different units over the years but this is the nicest, by far.The photos in the listing are accurate (it really is that beautiful). The view is of meticulously kept gardens looking to the ocean with Lanai in the distance, a glimpse of the large pool off to the side. The unit is tastefully furnished, comfortable bed and nice kitchen ware. The internet connection was helpful in planning activities and the cable offers lots of channels. We played our Hawaiian music thru the ipod dock.The owners are very welcoming and the "Chase"N Rainbows binder shows their attention to detail with lots of tips and ideas as well as operating instructions for household items. We used the Webber gas grills almost every night and enjoyed sunset dinners on our lanai.My husband snorkeled and swam right out front and we saw some whale spouts. I know we'll be staying here on our next trip to Maui.

Thank you Jim and Judy. Our visit was FABULOUS! The moment we opened the door we felt like we had come home! ( We spent six previous days in two separate locations, Kihei and Lahaina and although we enjoyed these stays nothing compared to the perfect location and wonderful ambience of your place.) The unit itself was first class; loved the decor; the bed was heavenly; we enjoyed the birds and lovely grounds; the pool was perfect; everything one could want was provided. (The best of the best!) We relaxed on the private beach and the turtles were so much fun to spot. But BEST OF ALL was the view from the privacy of your deck and the MAGNIFICENT whale watching we delighted in.

Our visit was absolutely superb! We were so sad to leave . . . . we certainly hope to come back again. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.

Great Condo

This condo is wonderful and exactly as described in VRBO. The decor is excellent and the mirrored wall in the living room / kitchen makes the already killer view even better. We ate most of our meals in and appreciated the well stock of spices.. The owners were very accommodating to our needs and easy to reach.

This condo is great and exactly as described in VRBO. The unit is very nicely decorated and the mirrored wall in the living room/kitchen added to the already outstanding views of the ocean and resort grounds. Plenty of spices in the kitchen helped us make some good meals on the BBQ. The owner was very accomadating to our needs. We recommend staying at 322 and would return.

Amazing view!!

Submitted: November 23, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
Thank you for allowing us to share your condo.The rooms are very well kept, every thing you would need. The view is AMAZING! The grounds are very well maintained as well as the pool. Speaking of the pool, the water is just right and it is bigger than it looks in pictures. The maintenance crew was out every morning like clockwork, you can tell they take pride in their work. The grounds are lovely. I love the fact that this property is gated. You walk through the gates and you are in your own little world. We had not been to Maui before, so while here we looked around at some other places and I must say we really like this place best. The owners are very easy to get ahold of and were great to work with. There was construction going on in the next room, but it happens, they have a job to do, it was not a bother to us, plus we didint come to stay in the room all day. The beach out in front of condo is great, we did see turtles, you wouldnt have to leave if you didint want to.You have a view, a pool, lovely grounds and a beach.....PARADISE. We will be back and when we do we only hope your place is still available. We will tell our family and friends. Dont bother looking anywhere else........we wont.

This property is exceptionally well maintained from the grounds, pool, beach and the individual unit has every accommodation for an exceptionally relaxing vacation with family, friends, or just a break from the everyday hassle. The owners have given a great deal of consideration to the comfort and needs of their guests and their photos of the property are exactly what you find upon arrival. The complex is within easy walking distance to a vegetarian based grocery store, a nice little gift shop, a good local coffeehouse and an ABC store. It is less than a mile from the Maui West Airport and there is an island transit stop right in front of the complex that goes from Napilii to Whalers Village and connects there to any other part of the island you wish to visit. Easy shopping trips to Whalers Village and Lahaina. . .The resident people are all very friendly and the on-site "Rainbow" management service is exceptionally accommodating! I will return to this property numerous times in the future. :) You can watch the turtles feeding among the lava rocks on the beach nearly any time of the day. Such a relaxing environment!

Tired of large resorts, then this condo is for you. From it's lanai there are incredible views of the ocean, sunsets, Lana'i, Moloka'i, the beautiful tropical grounds and the all tile pool. Just off their reefs swim turtles, and just about a 5 minutes walk north is a small beach where turtles beach and sun themselves. We stayed 10 nights and as usual did not want to leave.
