We stayed 7 nights and the location is just awesome! Right out your living room door to the lanai that is only steps from the beach. Favorite things were swimming at "our" Kuleana beach with the turtles (literally close enough to hear their breath exhale)and watching the sunset each night from the lanai.
The condo is clean & comfy and the furnishings are nice. A/C in the bedroom to cool off at night is a big plus. Next time we come back we will bring friends to rent the adjoining room - what a great setup! On this visit we got to meet the owners (The Dows) and enjoyed spending the evenings with them at the backyard happy hour sunset. Jim & Kathy are great! |

| We stayed in this wonderful condo for ten days in May. The location was perfect for my husband, 2 year old son and I. We were steps from the beach and steps from the pool. The grounds are kept meticulously clean. The staff was friendly as were the guests. We plan on coming back here next year with another couple and their two boys. |

| We are planning on returning to Mauai, and our first thought was to stay at your beautiful condo. We absolutely loved it the last time we were there - from the rainbows, to the turtles, and the beautiful pool and condo. This time, we are hoping to see the whales. In all the times we have been to Hawaii, we have never seen the whales. If you are thinking of staying in Maui, don't hesitate to stay at these condos. |

| This condo sounded too good to be true, so we were concerned. We needent have been. Driving up the road we said "that's the complex we'd like to be in" - and it was the one. Walking through the complex we said "that's the building we'd like to be in" - and we were. Right by the ocean, great view, great sunsets, turtles to watch, and whales passing in the distance. The condo itself is comfortable and modern. We have just booked for a return next March... |

| We spent nine days in Unit 407 in mid May and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This oceanfront condo was as advertised -- within 10 yards of the beach, clean, nicely furnished, and well outfitted. From the lanai we saw humpback whales, green sea turtles, a monk seal, and fabulous sunsets. Grocery shopping and good restauarants were close by, as was the farmer's market that had a good selection of fresh, tropical fruit and banana bread. Jim and Kathy made the rental process easy. We'd definitely stay here again. |

Aloha Kathy and Jim:
We stayed in your unit 408 and our friends stayed in unit 407. We enjoyed our visit in your paradise island condo and found everything was perfect. The condo was well stocked and the location is amazing any closer and you truly would be in the ocean. It was truly a wonderful relaxing holidays listening to the waves and seeing whales jump in front of our lanai not to mention the turtles we seen every morning feeding in front of our condo. The location of the condo is fantastic and we truly were blessed to be able to stay and enjoy this wonderful location. We also would like to thank Kathy for her attentiveness and generosity in letting us stay a little longer on the day of our departure we truly appreciated it. We will surely tell our friends about your beautiful condo. Mahalo Paul and Dorena Porteous |

Jim and Kathy, Just wanted to drop a note to let you folks know that we truly enjoyed our stay in 407!
We knew for certain that we wanted to avoid a “resort type atmosphere”… we really appreciated the quiet setting and very close proximity to the ocean. My son and I spent approx. 6 hours per day taking underwater photos, as we explored the coastline (from the ladder to points North). The weather was fantastic until the eve of our departure. And “the quake” added some memorable excitement to the trip… closed it out with a bang I suppose. All in all, super experience!
We all appreciated our stay, particularly in the setting of your place… and look forward to booking again next year!

| It's hard to imagine being any closer to the ocean with the same peaceful surroundings and spectacular views. Watching turtles surface and waves breaking was truly a relaxing and memorable experience. The condo was first class - very clean and 'new'. Thanks for providing the ultimate environment for our Maui get-away. We'll be back! |

| The place was wonderful. The Bar B Que is right outside of the condo. The view of the Pacific is magnificent. The best part is that I was able to swim every morning with lots of fish and one particular sea turtle who liked to swim up the coast for about 20 minutes. It truly was great to be there. Also, the hosts were available if a problem came up. It was a very minor problem with the blinds. Definetly will be back. |

Homeowner Response:
Jeff sent me a picture of the sea turtle that he swam with each morning - I can email to you if you are interested.
Also, our handy man was able to fix the blind the following day after Jeff notified me. We strive to make sure that everything is top quality and in working order for our guests vacation. We know how important this time in Maui is for our wonderful guests. Mahalo, Kathy

Thanks again Kathy - you made it a real pleasure! Maui is our 'new favorite place'. Your unit is very clean and 'new'. It was perfect. I've already shared your info with a few others (hope that's okay...). Hopefully I'll be back in touch in the future!
Best wishes ~ Steve

The early morning after our 11:00 pm arrival we looked out our window to the ocean - What a fabulous site - even a rainbow - We are in love with the view. Snorkeling and just swimming in the curing waters is such a treat. We made friends with the fish, the urchins, used the salt to fix our skin - WOW. Absolutely look forward to another trip here.

Having lived on the ocean growing up and then 10 years in Bodega Bay CA the sound of the waves at night was so familiar. My sister and I enjoyed swimming and snorkeling at a variety of locations in the area. The small cove to the left of the complex is easy to access, good for bobbing and viewing the scenary. Our favorite restaurant was A Saigon Cafe in Wialuku. It is in the yellow pages and there is a map, its a bit tricky to find. Fun and funny staff and delivous Vietnamese food. After a lovely and relaxing time at #407 its back to CA to get ready for a new school year.

Kathy and Jim,
Today is my birthday, I'm here with my daughter and granddaughter. It is just the most perfect way to celebrate. To look out your window and see that beautiful scenery and we have been blessed with beautiful rainbows. My grandson and son-in-law are also here to enjoy the ocean. I have been here once before and hope to return again someday. A wonderful quiet place to relax.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise! We have enjoyed every minute and actually hate to leave. We will take with us many special memories but have saved room to etch many more in the near future. Your unit is perfect in every way, from its location to its decor. We hope we will have the opportunity to stay with you again.

Thanks for the use of your condo. We had a great time. We came with friends so the setup with #408 is perfect! We saw the entire island and it is very pretty. The grassy area is perfect for kids - ours had lots of fun!

Where do I begin. I am an ex travel agent and any
time I go to a place I research other accommadions,
taking into consideration price and location. I am
here to tell you there is nothing else lik it in any
price range. You feel at home and one with the
ocean. If you need beach there are plently to
choose from but then you return to the best kept
secret in Maui. I LOVE IT...LOVE IT....LOVE IT!!!!!! |

| We stayed in condo 407 and my parents in adjacent 408. Both were nicely furnished. We could see the turtles playing from our unit and hear the surf in our bedroom. We found it to be the perfect location. We also enjoyed the condo pool. It is easy for us to recommend either or both of these units. |

| You have 2 wonderful condos right on the ocean and the best part is that they are adjoining....this is hard to find and was perfect for bringing my adult children and grandchildren. We were like in one big condo and at the same time had the privacy of the door in between. You are so close to the barbecues that they felt like they were our private patio. Your furniture is beautiful and the location unforgettable...a whale came by one morning while I was having my coffe and I could almost touch it! |

We enjoyed your condo so much we rarely ate out. I don't think a restaurant on Maui could beat the view, ambrience, turtles just below you (even a couple mating!) and whales just off shore and one breathtaking sunset ... We look forward to our next trip to Maui and once again a stay at Kuleana #407 or #408

Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your beautiful unit. We have enjoyed watching the whales and turtles so very much. Being that we are from Alaska and have our own whale season, we enjoy whales immensely, but their behavior is so different here than it is in Alaska ... We will most certainly be coming back here again, but probably for a much longer time.

Kuleana unit 407 is incredible!!!! It's even closer to the ocean than it appears in the pictures. Whale-watching was awesome right from the condo. This unit is so homey and comfortable -- we did not want to leave!
The owners are very nice with their personal touches and phone calls. We hope to stay there again. |

| BEAUTIFUL! We have stayed at many places on the islands and this was truly wonderful. Just steps to the water and absolutely wonderful view. The whales were very close and the sea turtles entertained us while we ate breakfast on the parklike veranda that was just feet from the ocean. The sounds of the surf lulled us to sleep. The condo is wonderfully decorated, light and very clean. The owners supplied all the necessary and wonderfully luxurious linens. Everything is A+++. The entire grounds are very beautiful and the area provides peace and quiet with very friendly, helpful staff. We will return as soon as we can. Thank you so much. |
