This condo is absolutely amazing - don't even think twice about renting it. It's in the best block of units on the property, "sandwiched" between the ocean and the pool, so you don't need to worry about hearing street noise. It's also been completely (and tastefully) renovated making for a very comfortable stay. We were pleasantly surprised by the "little extras" the owners thought of - things like a reference binder filled with information on what to see and where to buy, beach chairs & towels & cooler to borrow, a fully stocked kitchen (right down to aluminum wrap and Tupperware). For us, this meant less time organizing ourselves and more time enjoying the island. The view from the lanai? Let's just say incredible, day or night, with unobstructed views of the ocean and the islands of Lana'i and Moloka'i.
In terms of the property itself, we found it to be one of the nicest around, and we really did our homework before renting. Lush, manicured gardens, large pool, very serene atmosphere (i.e., architecture blends in wonderfully with the surroundings). We wanted a "home away from home" and that's exactly what we got... no big, unsightly condo towers here! We were lucky as the small beach (right in front of the condo, too) was there (it comes and goes), which we enjoyed much more than we thought we would. Early morning swims (before heading out for the day) and/or late night swims (before going to bed) were part of our daily routine.
Add to all of this the fact the owners are wonderful to deal with and you have a winning combination. My only regret? Not staying more than 10 days.
(Actually my other regret is that Champlain did not discover Canada somewhere in the Hawaiian islands... Mau'i is stunning!) |

| Keleana #411 was a great place to stay . Bonnie and I enjoyed the Views , Breezes, and Whale watching from the Balcony. It was cosy and easy to keep up, so we had more time to enjoy the island. A perfect place for a couple to enjoy. I'm hoping to return soon .. |

| My husband and I absolutely enjoyed every day at Kuleana #411. We visited during March 2009 and could have spent countless hours watching whales from our balcony. The best feature of #411 is the view and closeness to the ocean. The ocean waves were perfect for the surfers who entertained us every evening as we sat on the balcony and ate dinner as the sun would set. The rainbows were breath taking and the grounds of the condo complex are perfect. The unit itself came with everything from wine glasses, sunscreen, beach towels and even a pair of binoculars. We could not have asked for a nicer spot in paradise and plan to return! |

| We stayed at Kuleana 411 for a week in September 2008. We were familiar with the property grounds because we had stayed in another Kuleana unit before, but never in 411. We love Kuleana's location on the island of Maui due to its proximity to lots of the activities we like (snorkeling, body surfing, Lahaina & Kaanapali, rugged north coast, etc.), yet it is quiet and peaceful. Plus the sunsets were terrific every night. Unit 411 has been modernized delightfully, and is thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, including a small ice chest that we used on every outing. I will definitely go back. We loved the location of this unit on the property, and the property was very well maintained and beautiful. Unit 411 is one of the best units in the complex as it is on the top floor overlooking the beach and immediately next to the private pool. We would drink Kona coffee watching turtles in the morning, and take up a lounge chair by the pool during the heat of the day, and swim/snorkel in the ocean in the afternoon. It was great having the blender and refrigerator only steps from these water attractions; made everything very simple. Every other night we met great people cooking at the well maintained gas grills, which are thoroughly cleaned every morning. There's nothing like grilling fish and steak while watching the sun go down after a wonderful day exploring the island or just reading a book. I find it far better than hotel lodging. I felt completely at home, but I wasn't...I was in paradise. |
