Gene and I live in Portland, Oregon. We first came to the Kulakane for our honeymoon in 1987 and that makes this our honeymoon home. We loved Hawaii and returned often, to The Kulakane and to other properties and islands. We kept coming back to the Kulakane as our favorite and. finally, we bought our own home here. We love it and treasure our weeks in Maui every year. Gene is a retired health educator and I own a real estate brokerage in Portland where we help people buy and sell homes every day.
What we love most is that our condo is right on the water, facing the ocean and steps away from a beach walk. We like being on the second floor for privacy and security and a more direct view of the water. We would not want to spend our precious days in Paradise anywhere but ocean/beach front. Why else be here? We visit the large resorts nearby for cocktails and dinner on occasion, and gladly return to our smaller, more intimate and ocean view condo that put us right on the water. The ocean proximity is what we come for first and foremost!
We also like to cook and to be at home, so the kitchen is fully equipped with all the useful and necessary tools. The lanai is our open-air living room. The view is awesome. We dine here, play games and read, work on our computers, and entertain friends. We never stop enjoying the ocean view & balmy breezes.
Hope you enjoy our little piece of paradise as much as we do.
Aloha,
Becky and Gene...

Debbie and Tony make the place like home. It’s always fun to be around them and the renters that we seem to see every year. Our condo was clean and well equipped. 42 years ago we stayed at the Kulakane on our honeymoon and have been coming back close to every year.

I have been coming to stay at The Kulakane for over 20 years. The grounds are well kept(although I miss the beautiful Japanese garden} The unit 213 is always clean and the utensils for cooking are more than adequate. However,the stove needs replacing. Debbie Reynolds is an excellent manager,and is vey helpful. As is Tony her partner. I have recommended the Kulakane to several friends. Hope to be back again next year

You will not find a better place to relax and enjoy the ocean and scenery than the Kulakane. The views are breathtaking, and the quiet serene. Lanai is a place that most people sit and relax. You will be welcomed by Debbie and Tony, the managers, and get to know the regulars.

We had a great experience at Kulakane. Debbie Reynolds rocks at customer service. Her pictures of our unit were perfect. WYSISYG. I think we took more pictures from our Lanai than any other locations. We saw dozens of Humpback Whales. Several breaches. Classic views of flukes. One displayed continuous tail slapping behavior. Sea turtles fed within 10 yards of the seawall. One night I got a beautiful picture of the moon's reflection on the water between the palm trees. Everyone needs to do the Kulakane traditional "conch blowing" at sunset. Everyone we met were repeat visitors. We saved a ton of money by eating most meals using the full kitchen. 45 minutes before we checked out, Kulakane gave us a fond "Aloha" with a very bright full length double rainbow.

We were in Maui for 7 days and 5 nights. Fantastic time of relaxing and enjoying the island. Our condos were wonderful, clean, and we’ll supplied with amenities. The management, as always, was great and helpful. Fourth time at these facilities.

Had a fine time as usual. After coming back for so many years it never disappoints.Would hope that the grounds can soon be restored to the former glory. My unit is perfect for my needs. Love the large TV screen to enjoy if it rains.

Spent 6 wonderful nights at this great condo on the second level. A couple things that impressed me, besides being right on the beach and watching/hearing the waves all day & night, was the cleanliness of the unit. I always judge a place by their paper products too. Good T-paper and kleenex! While it was obvious to be an older unit, it was well maintained and contained everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you plan to do much cooking, there is little counter space, but our style was minimal so we made it work. The view from the 2nd floor was beautiful, but it also seemed like the ground floor noise funneled up to our lanai based on the style of the building construction. However, it was never too annoying. Pool was quite small but there were a couple access points so one could easily swim in the ocean. All staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Great BBQ area and nice place to meet some of the other guests, many of whom came from our home state of Washington. Every unit is dependent on how the owner furnishes, but ours came with snorkeling equipment.....would stay away from Boss Frog if you need to rent. Driving the island was easy with lower limits than we have locally making it less stressful. Do take into consideration the maps that indicate the type of road you are driving on. There can be some extremely narrow, windy roads that only allow for one vehicle at a time. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

Only negative was lack of air conditioning in unit preventing us from using the indoor portion of the unit during the day, too hot. All other experiences were delightful, especially "Debbie"
