We booked this property because of the location and the fact that it had AC, however the AC did not work. The owners did send the repair people over several times to work on it but it did not get fixed until 2 days before we were getting ready to leave
The air vents were nasty dirty along with the air filter that the repair person changed on the 1st visit.
The owners continued to tell us that we were not shutting the doors correctly… they had sensors on them… when in fact we were
On the last visit by the repair person he stated that the sensors were defective and that was causing the problem along with a faulty controller.

For a family of four this place did not disappoint. Lots of room! Bedrooms and bathrooms are great. Kitchen has everything needed to cook any meal and a beautiful patio too. A short walk to Whalers Village and Kaanapali Beach. Will definitely be back.

The home was perfect for us - a small group that needed a central location and a space to be both alone and together in the home. Kaanapali Royal did just that. It also had a great kitchen and was just steps away from the pool. Thanks much Stacie!

Today is check-out day for us in this wonderful condo. Heading over to our time-share right on the beach today for our second week and I’m actually a little sad. This location is spectacular—so close to Ka’anapali beach (without the crowds), the condo itself is spectacular (pool is just a stone throw away), and parking never an issue. Absolutely hope to stay here again. AND Stacie was very communicative. All-in-all——max stars.

We LOVED staying at this location. Short walk to the beach lots of grass for the kids to run on, the inside of the condo was so nice and spacious.

Great property! We loved easy access to the pool and the whole place was well equipped. Much improved over other units in the complex. Owners were quick to respond to any needs and easy to work with. Can’t wait to rent this unit again!!!

We were lucky enough to have two weeks here at the beginning of January. We are so thankful that Stacie, Tom and Judy opened up their space for us. It truly was amazing. This unit is fully stocked and had everything we needed during our stay. It was a very comfortable stay and was exactly what was listed in the description. One surprise to us was the updated master bathroom, the shower is amazing. They really should update their photos!
We loved to eat our meals out on the lanai and play cards out there until curfew time. We’ve stayed at Kaanapali Royal before so we were familiar with the grounds/area but there is a lot of info given by Stacie before arriving which would help someone not so familiar. We loved being so close to the pool and at times it felt like a private pool because of how quiet it is. We’d prefer this any day over a busy resort pool!
We also had the unit rented their other unit directly beside this one for our mother and sisters. It was so convenient having them right there next to us.
We did have a few cockroaches who joined us on the lanai, but that comes with the climate so they don’t scare us away!
Overall we were very pleased with this unit and the decision to stay here. We would definitely recommend it and would love to return here some day again!

First, I like to thank the owners for sharing their home. This trip was definitely one that won't be forgotten. So many precious memories made during our two week stay. The place is in a convenient location and was well cleaned and stocked. The layout was fantastic as it provided lots of space for everyone. Pool and hot tub were clean as well. Stacie was fantastic to work with and she provided all the information ahead of time which made check-in was a breeze.The entire group was super pleased and enjoyed every moment. We would absolutely stay here again!

We rented both condos for our family in October and had a really great experience! Stacie was wonderful to work with! The condos are beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you need. We loved that the pool was really close to the condos, that you could walk to the Whalers and the Fairway plaza. J102 had a wonderful surprise with 2 fridge drawers which really came in handy for all our drinks. We’d love to come back next year!! Thanks so much for sharing your wondering condos!

The unit was spacious, allowing our family of 5 adults to spread out comfortably. The AC worked well, great water pressure, and well stocked. It is pretty clean but may be starting to show a little wear and tear. All the conveniences of home (plus more!) were provided. We enjoyed having this space with a centralized location and short distance to many of the areas we visited! Thank you!

The condo was lovely and we had a great stay. The best part was the host- she was exceptionally accommodating, responsive and went above and beyond for us. The condo itself is in a great location and is stocked well with everything you will need. My two young children had a great time and especially loved the giant soaker tub and proximity to the pool. My only gripe is with the washer/dryer- not sure which machine it was but one of them ruined 3 dresses, a sports bra and a bathing suit!! Ripped all the shoulder straps clear in two :(. So beware- maybe using a gentler setting would mitigate the issue.

Love the layout of the condo, it is very roomy and lots of extra space to spread out. We really enjoyed the location and all the amenities that came along with it . The condo had everything you needed and wanted.
There is a $140 resort fee you will have to pay at the front office.
The master bedroom bed was very hard for my liking .
There was a remodel going on directly upstairs all throughout the day. I didn't like that but I guess it's the luck of the draw.
Hopefully it was a one week job during our stay.

This condo was perfect. We loved how peaceful the Kaanapali Royal was. Quiet mornings on the lania watching the many varieties of birds playing on the lawn were an unexpected pleasure. This unit is on the ground floor, steps away from the pool complex. You'll appreciate the walkout lania as people staying on the upper floors had a more circuitous route to the pool.
The unit itself is exactly as advertised. Up to date and spacious, with two private master suites. It was the perfect place to share with two couples.
Stacie was wonderful to deal with, always responsive to any questions we had.

Had a wonderful time staying at the Kaanapali Royal. The unit had a great layout and stocked kitchen to cook any meal. We only ate out once in two weeks. Enjoyed meeting people at the pool area BBQ's which were spotless and cleaned thoroughly. Looking forward to going back in the future.
February 2020
This condo was absolutely beautiful and spacious. Fully renovated and very modern, accommodating our family of 5 very well. The unit was very well supplied. Appreciated having our own BBQ on our lanai . The owner was very responsive to our need for extra cleaning prior to our arrival. The location of the condo is ideal being on the ground floor and close to the pool. Also within walking distance of Whalers Village and the beach. Lahaina is a short 7 min drive away. We were 2 families In 2 units at this resort. We had the best vacation! The Radbourne’s Grande Prairie Alberta

Property was exactly what I wanted and needed to make this trip really special. Everything we needed was right there. All we needed to buy was our food. We took turns cooking because we had other family members who stayed at other locations. Ours was the best and everyone enjoyed coming to visit. The weather was great. We all throughly enjoyed our time in Maui. Would love to make it back again. We would certainly call you again for accommodation. Thank you.

The unit was wonderful for family of four (2 kids in their mid 40’s + 2 teenagers). It was super comfortable, clean, and appropriately updated throughout. The complete booking to checkout process was seamless and easy with no surprises. Patio with super close proximity to gardens and pool was really nice, and also felt very private and quiet. Tennis courts and basketball hoop were used daily between trips to the pool and beach. Beach is a bit of a walk, but what we were expecting. Free open air trolly is a great convenient option. We have been to Hawaii over 20 times. This place was a great value and will certainly consider it for our next visit!

The condo was exactly as described including ALL of the amenities of home. It was a great size for 2 couples as we never felt like we were crowded. The location of this condo on the premises is absolutely perfect! Only a 30 second walk to the pool from the lanai. The owner/manager was attentive and helped us out when we needed. We would definitely consider staying in J102 at Kaanapali Royal again! Thank you for helping make our time in Maui a very pleasant experience. The only reason I didn't give a full 5 stars is because the Kaanapali Royal is not right on the beach, it's approximately a 15-20 min walk to Kaanapali Beach. However you can see the ocean from the resort.

We hired both J101 and J102, 2 bedroom properties, which catered to our needs perfectly. They were modern, spacious and very comfortable.
Also, as ground floor units and looking straight out to the pool, easy access was gained to the garden and lovely outdoor environment.
A short walk to Whaler village and the beach, provided an alternative to lazing in the pool, heading off to golf! Would highly recommend to any prospective holiday maker.

J102 is a very nice condo with everything you need for a perfect Maui vacation. It has a very updated kitchen with nice appliances, granite countertops and all the essentials you'd need for any meal along with a BBQ on the lanai. The pool is literally 35 steps away. The bedrooms are well appointed and the master bathroom tub is huge. My 2 year old son was in heaven. The lanai closet has more beach toys and supplies then you will ever need for kids and adults. It is located away from the beach but a nice 10 minute walk through a beautiful golf course will get you there. Although we had a little cleaning issue upon arrival, Stacie was on it from the get go and the problem was solved. I have rented VRBO everywhere in the U.S. and have never been treated better by an owner then I was with Stacie. That goes a long ways and was very appreciated. Someday we will be back.

This was a great condo for our family of 6 adults, and was exactly as the pictures showed on the VRBO sight. It was clean, spacious, with a well equipped kitchen that we made very good use of. We enjoyed many breakfasts and dinners on the lanai and used the pool/hot tub just steps away. We spent lots of time on the beach(preferred the north side of Black Rock), snorkeling, drove to Napili-beach and snorkeling, Lahaina-surfing, shopping, eating and had a fabulous sunrise whale watch with Pacific Whale Foundation. Further away, Paia-watching surfers, shopping, eating and an easy hike with pools and waterfalls.
This condo was such a beautiful home to come back to at the end of busy days, We have/will recommend this condo to others and with luck we will be returning ourselves.
Thank you Stacie for being so easy to work with and helping our vacation be so Fabulous!

Staying in the side by side condos was the ideal situation for my sister and myself and our families. We were in Maui for my daughters wedding which was huge and did not want hotel accommodation. We were able to walk to restaurants, shops and the beach in minutes which made the location of the condo perfect and the condo itself was very comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen and laundry. So many beach towels, thank you Stacie and Tom you thought of everything.
We had a wonderfully comfortable and relaxing vacation and thoroughly recommend a stay at this home away from home.

We just returned home after another wonderful 2 week stay at this amazing condo (or as we like to refer to it as our second home). It is so comforting to walk into this beautiful unit knowing that all we have to do is unpack and pick up a few groceries because EVERYTHING you could possibly need is already there. This was our 5th visit and we know there will be many more to come. The location is PERFECT, right across the street from Whalers Village, a very short walk to Kaanapali beach, 5 minutes down the road to Lahaina and less than 10 minutes to some of the best snorkeling on the island oh, and just steps to the pool. While we were by ourselves this time, we have shared the condo with other couples on past visits and because of the size and layout it has never felt in the least bit crowded. We also couldn't be happier dealing with Stacie and Tom. Whether we are booking our next visit or needing to ask a question while there, they are quick, courteous and very obliging. We could go on and on but at the risk of making this sound "too good to be true" we will stop here and simply thank Stacie and Tom for helping us create such great memories. In closing, we are not sure if this is proper protocol but Stacie and Tom have my contact information and I would gladly accept a call from anyone considering this condo in their holiday plans.

We just returned from staying at this beautiful condo in Maui. Perfect location as we where there for my sisters wedding. The condo was only a 10min drive to the DT Fleming beach where the ceremony took place, and reception close to whalers village across the way (walking distance) The whole wedding group of girls got ready at the condo on the day of the wedding, and it was fantastic to have such a roomy condo to get ready. Hosted a few BBQs at the condo with friends and family, Loved the pool and hot tub and my dad and husband got lots of golf in! Everything was fantastic and we can't wait to return. Stacie was great to deal with, always prompt at replying and I would recommend this condo to anyone!
Thanks Stacie for the wonderful use of your condo, enjoy the champagne glasses I bought and left for use at your condo. Loved making mimosas!

Great location in relation to pool, beautiful lanai, kitchen lacked some essentials. Had a very nice stay, however, on arrival, very musty and damp environment. Very good deal for the money, we believe linens in bedrooms need replaced (tears) , however biggest complaints, lock on sliding doors had missing screws and the 2 remaining needed constant tightening with butter knife, remote in 2nd bedroom did not work, carpeting needs professional cleaning, and sofas in living area, very outdated, not clean and uncomfortable, too low to floor, hard to stand up from. Very nice bathrooms. Possibly could be excellent unit with updating. Regardless, all in all enjoyed our 2 week stay in Maui.

Arrived and out condos side by side were exactly what we needed for a family of 8. Although one condo was updated the one I stayed in was a little dates and slightly smelled. But overall the accommodations were great. We did have an incident with the master bathroom but the owner took care of it the same day. I would recommend these condos for anyone coming to Maui. They both open right up to the pool whig was great for the kids. We rented cars while we were in Maui so we had no issues with getting to the beach. Although Black rock was only down the road and walking there was so mug easier then trying to find parking. Great home with a lot of things provided by previous guest. Highly recommended and would stay here again!

This was our family's first experience with using VRBO. Staci was very helpful and communicated with us as needed. The pictures reflected the unit and the downstairs side by side units were perfect for us. My sister's family rented the unit next door. Both units were well stocked, clean and a great location - 10 minute walk to the beach and Whaler's Village. Staci sent us some good suggestions for things to do also. We didn't want to leave!

Our family just returned from an adventurous, memorable vacation in Maui. It was our third visit to the island but our first stay in the Kaanapali Royal Resort. This condo is perfect! It is thoughtfully put together and extremely well stocked. When we travel, it is important to us (and to me in particular, because I am the fussy one) to secure accommodation in a comfortable, clean, well equipped and neutrally decorated space. This condo exceeded our expectations! I loved how it was decorated with a feeling of lots of free flowing spaces but with added touches of art and a few ornamental pieces ... especially loved the fish in the master bedroom. The kitchen is very well stocked with more than enough kitchen gadgets to make meal planning a breeze. All appliances were top notch including a great washer & dryer. The location is perfect - the well maintained pool and hot tub area is just outside the door a few steps away. Great beaches, shopping, restaurants are within walking distance. When travelling to Maui there are many areas to choose and many vacation rentals offered. Communicating with Stacie and her family about renting their property was so pleasant and efficient. We are very thankful for our stay and hope for an opportunity to return to this condo. Three words sum up this piece of paradise: PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT
