We had a really lovely stay here. There was plenty of room for our family of three to stretch out and the first floor location was just steps from the pool, which was awesome for an after dinner swim or hot tub. We also used the gas grill in the pool area one night. The entire complex was really well maintained and there were several friendly kitties on the property too, most of which were happy for some head rubs.
We enjoyed the relative quiet of the complex compared to the hustle and bustle of the big resorts. There was never more than a few families at the pool. And the big resorts, restaurants, and Whaler Village are a short walk away. We also played foot golf at the adjacent course, which is basically a mash-up of soccer and golf and fun way for us non-golfers to be on the course.
The hosts graciously made sure we had boogie boards for our stay, as this is an activity our family really enjoys. And the beach closet had pretty much everything you'd need for a day at the beach -- plenty of towels, chairs, umbrella, snorkeling stuff, boogie boards -- plus stuff for kids. The only thing we didn't find was a cooler, but maybe there was one and we just didn't see it. We also wanted to try pickle ball, but ran out of time.
We would definitely stay at this property again! Check in/out was easy, it was super comfy, and with great communication along the way.

Fantastic location, only a short walk to Whalers Village and Ka’anapali beach. Our first floor unit was perfect for us as we had guests joining us throughout out 7 week stay. The condo was generously supplied with everything we needed. Extra towels for the pool, plenty of dishware and several spices. Kelly was very responsive to any request or questions we had. We definitely plan on returning and recommend this unit.

Grounds were very well kept. Super easy check in and great people to deal with. The condo itself had absolutely everything you could need, for cooking, storing, relaxing, visiting and heading out to the beach. Location on ground level and close to the pool was perfect for just hopping down to the hot tub for a relaxing soak after a long day of hiking, or going back and forth if you forgot something in the condo. The owners were super helpful anytime we had any questions and we felt they genuinely wanted to make our stay the best it could be! They had great ideas about where to go to hike and for meals if you didn’t want to stay in. Overall just an amazing experience and we will definitely stay at this resort, and hopefully this exact condo again!

The condo was great, excellent location if not directly on the beach. Place had everything we needed and we appreciate the flexibility with checking out later.
Only suggestion would be upgraded mattresses. Wonderful vacation!
Thank you!

Nice unit, nice location. Owner was very accommodating and worked very hard to resolve a minor issue we had regarding beach chairs and umbrella. A little bit of a walk to the beach, with not being allowed to cross the golf course, but we were aware of this from reviews we saw after booking. Was not an issue.

My family of 5 + grandma enjoyed our stay in paradise! The condo was a great size, larger than most other 2 bedroom options we could find. Nicely updated, we especially enjoyed the beautiful tiled showers. The large sliding doors lead out to a gorgeous outdoor dining table, which we used any time we ate dinner in. Pool is just steps away which was super convenient. I do agree with previous reviews about living room furniture needing replacing, it’s pretty well used. I would stay here again if returning to Maui. It was great for our family!

The condo is absolutely wonderful. It is so close to the beach and we loved being right by the pool as well. It is also a very short drive to the grocery store which is handy. We loved all of the extra goodies that were available like boogie boards and beach supplies! Kelly was very easy to communicate with and great with accommodating our requests. Thank you! We hope to come back here again!

Our family stayed at this home and we loved it! I had my 2 year old son and he loved having the pool and front lawn to play in! And we enjoyed having the pickle ball court to play in! We felt like we were immersed in the Hawaiian culture by staying in a condo vs a hotel/resort! We loved how we were close to most of the excursions that we went to and close to the Ka’anapali beach as well! We would stay here again!

We stayed here with my small family of 4 (including 3yo and 8yo) along with my parents. The condo is very comfortable and incredibly well-appointed. The lanai was an amazing bonus that really lent itself to indoor-outdoor living and the proximity to the pool was perfect - it was right there but not too close. Kelly was super communicative, helpful and informative. Thank you for a great trip!

Everything we needed... Communication with Kelly went well. Kaanapali Royal is a little tired property but still very nice. It was nice to be ground floor. Plenty of supplies and beach items to use. Pool area was nice but the water was very cold. Hot tub was out of order for our stay. Beds were comfy and water pressure was great. Short walk or drive to the Kaanapali area. Only negative was the 2nd bedroom closet was filled with lots of clutter with a dresser put in the closet with sliding doors. Not a lot of room and had to continually do a dance with my wife when we were getting ready. Also had to pay a $150 parking fee which was not advertised in the listing.

Perfect place for a low-key trip. We enjoyed the kitchen and ample space to relax around the property. The walk to the shops was advertised and gave a good opportunity to enjoy being outside. Very responsive owners! Thank you!

Great, quiet spot, steps from the pool. Walking distance to the ocean. Everything we needed in a beautifully decorated condo. Clean and extremely comfortable. Kelly and Greg were terrific hosts. Would definitely stay here again. Awesome stay!!

After booking with the owner, she was so helpful with making sure we felt comfortable with bringing our 96 and 85 year old parents for a stay. We had specific needs for someone with a walker and she was very comfortable with getting around the unit. She was quite happy the shower had a seat with handheld shower head. A/C was a must for the hotter summers in Hawaii. The unit was easily accessed from the lanai all the way back to the parking lot. Pool was easy to walk to, where the BBQ was clean and ready for use. We are looking forward to coming back and using this place again.

Great location and perfect for kids. 0.3 mile walk to Whalers village and the beach. Perfect location close to all of the resorts, dinning and shopping.

We just got home from staying at this gem. We were there with my older parents, wife and two girls (4) and (6). The place was the perfect location! Within steps from the pool and BBQ’s. We were able to enjoy both daily! The place has everything you need when traveling with a family! The communication between the owner and myself was amazing! My family will definitely be staying in this condo again! Thank you so much Kelly! We had an amazing trip!

The condo is very large for a two bedroom and steps from the pool. Great for a family vacation and with plenty of space. Loved, too, that recreational gear was provided.

We stayed in this unit while visiting Maui and had an excellent experience! The condo was well stocked with whatever we needed from cooking to cleaning supplies! In addition, it makes a great condo for people with children because it’s located right on the main level with excellent access to the pool. It’s well laid out and has enough room to easily fit 4 adults and 3 children from what we experienced. Overall, we’d definitely stay here again if we’re in Maui!

We came for a beautiful wedding! Everything was centrally located. We loved the accommodations and pool. The pool toys in the storage area were perfect and we look the wagon and the chairs to the beach. As we were cleaning up to leave we found the journal to write about our experience. It was too late for us but I put them on top of the end table so the next visitors can sign. Great stay! Thank you!

We had an awesome stay in Maui, big thanks to this wonderful property. It is exactly like the listing shows. Everything was clean, kitchen was stocked and location was awesome! Our kids loved the pool and loved the big open grassy area right outside. Being on the bottom floor is key! Host was very responsive. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay at this location! Minutes from the beach. The slider out onto the patio was perfect for dinners and hanging out. The condo had plenty of space for the five of us. We really enjoy the snorkels and the wagon to get stuff down to the beach. Also the golf course Clubhouse was just a three minute walk away.

This condo is in a great location to Whaler’s Village, golf course, shopping, restaurants, and beaches. On site pool was conveniently located to the condo, which is great because grills are by the pool. Condo needs a good deep cleaning, decluttering, and some new furniture - couches and bed in secondary suite. Kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked - nice to not have to worry about tp, seasonings, etc.

Beautiful property conveniently located short walk from Whaler's Village, beach walk, great restaurant scene and whale watching. Property was comfortable and well appointed with everything you'd need for a great stay including beach essentials. Pool, hot tub and Tennis/Pickleball courts made for a fun time on property. Owners were very responsive and accommodating, answered questions quickly and gave great suggestions on dining options and how to best enjoy our visit. Highly recommend Monkeypod restaurant. Island Press Coffee short next door with yummy Hawaiian goodies. Awesome overall experience and we would love to stay there again when next we visit Maui.

We had an excellent time at the condo! Everything was clean and tidy with plenty of towels for bath and beach.
We were very surprised at how roomy and large the rooms and living space were and having the extra space on the Lanai was also fantastic! We ate most of our meals out there at the gorgeous wood table. We did battle a few little sugar ants, but learned our lesson on the first day and we're much more aware of any remaining crumbs.
The beds were very soft, which may be an issue for those needing a firm bed, and I wouldn't recommend relying on the couch bed, if you can avoid it. :)
We also really appreciated having all the beach supplies in the front and lanai closets! Very helpful to avoid buying those items, which wouldn't be able to bring home with us.
We enjoyed the short walk to Whaler's village for dinner but the hill on the way back proved too difficult for the older folks in the family. We also preferred driving to the free beach parking lot over hauling the chairs/ice chest down the hill.
The pool and hot tub were extremely convenient and served as a great energy release for the kids while the adults relaxed. But you must watch for flying golf balls that make it past the net!
We would highly recommend staying, if your desire is to be in the Kaanapali Beach area.
Andrea S.
January 2022
This is a fabulous property with excellent owner/managers. Communication was quick and helpful. The property was well cared for, with excellent amenities and in a great location. While not on the beach, access to Kaanapali beach was a breeze once you know where to look for the free beach parking at the resort lots.

We loved this unit! It was clean and conveniently located close to the pool and grills! A ground floor unit is the way to go! All the doors and windows close completely so it was very quiet even in the mornings when you would normally be woken up by the birds. I highly recommend this property for families too although we were here as a group of ladies celebrating a birthday!

To start, the owner is so nice and super responsive! The ac went out during our stay and she quickly had it fixed. Her communication has been great.
The condo itself is definitely tired. It would benefit from at the very least new bedding and pillows. It looks much better in photos than in person. We had several family members stay in the same complex, this was definitely the worst of all of the condos we saw.
Again, the owner is so nice so I hate to leave a not great review!
December 2021
We’ve stayed here for 8 years now and we will continue. We love the complex and especially like the location of this unit. Wonderful owners and Maui is the best!

This home is better than described! Beautiful inside , everything you could possibly need at your fingertips, from a blender to boogie boards to a pull cart to get to the beach. The 10 minute walk to the beach and /or Whalers Village was as easy for my 10 year old as it was for my 75 year old FIL. And the walk was filled with stunning scenery! The pool at the facility was clean and relaxing. The golf was great. My MIL has trouble walking, and this apartment was perfect for her with only three steps once inside. There are too many pluses to mention❤️Mahalo

My wife and her three kids stayed here for a week. We love the location because it’s close enough to walk to the beach but a little removed from the busyness down by the water. The unit was clean and well stocked with beach towels, kitchen items, etc.

June 2021
We enjoyed it very much. The place was clean, close to the beach and spacious. We had to cook our meals at the condo almost every day due to us not being able to book for dinner at any restaurants due to covid. It was great to have the kitchen and all the cookware was available. Although it would be nice if we could have more frying pans because the ones at the condo didn’t even lay flat on the cooktop. We can’t barely fry any eggs on the pans because they warped up and the bases didn’t touch the cooktop. That was the only thing that bothered us, but overalls it was a nice place. We would visit again next time.

Nice and clean, but definitely in need of some fixing up. Refrigerator was broken and master bathroom toilet didn't work. Would have been nice to have a rug or two since all of the floors were tile. Great location close to the pool and nice living room area

We showed up here for 10 nights, and the place was not only in a great location, but for our two little kids (aged 4 and 1) the second bedroom was great. Very open floor plan, the master bathroom is a masterpiece, and we couldn't have been happier with the accommodations.

Overall the condo was good. The location couldn't be better if you're looking for a relatively central spot on the west side. The Whaler's Village Shops, many restaurants and the beach is about a 5-10 minute walk away (if you cut through the golf course - signs are posted NOT to, but it appears most do). The unit being ground floor made it very nice to walk straight off the lanai to the pool, or straight out towards the beach. The pool area was always clean and it was neat to see the closet room at the pool full of books to choose from to enjoy.
The 'cons' we had(NONE of which would be considered deal-breakers): the pictures do portray the unit. However, in the queen-bedroom the pictures do not show justly the bathroom. It was pretty dated - especially compared to the master suite. The shower, which is not pictured, is a small stand-up with a curtain. The seal around the shower window is coming undone. Also, the dresser in the queen-bedroom has a broken foot, so the dresser is precariously perched which made it difficult to safely utilize the drawers. The carpet in this looked as though it could be replaced or, at the very least, have a good shampoo. In the master-suite, the king bed is a spring bed. The springs can be felt through the mattress top when sleeping. If you're already sleeping on a spring bed, this may not be noticeable though. The display on the TV in the living room has poor quality - at times it was even difficult to determine what was being displayed. (nobody goes to Maui to watch TV, but at the end of a hot day it is nice to just relax and unwind).
OVERALL, though, the condo was good. Location is EVERYTHING and this was perfect. The air-conditioning works great. Check-in process was very simple. The owners and mgmt were quick to respond when we could not locate wifi login. The condo is well-established so the grounds are lush with foliage and flowers - and even banana trees! It's a nice, quiet complex.

I stayed here with my husband and 3 teenage boys. We had a great time! The condo is as described, very nice! It's centrally located on Maui (for where we wanted to go). Very quiet complex. There were no bugs in the condo as there are in some units apparently. I would live there if there was one more bedroom! Did not want to leave! Housekeeping came one day in the middle of our trip which was nice (and unexpected). Loved the master suite!!! It was a perfect floor plan for us! I didn't really have to talk to the owner much, but she was the quickest to respond to my initial email about price and dates, that is why I went with this owner/condo. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We absolutely loved this complex! The location is perfect, 5 minute walk to the beach, restaurants, grocery store, lots of good shopping in Whaler's Village! The unit was very clean and spacious, beautifully decorated, and we loved that it was on the ground floor; so amazing to enjoy breakfast and coffee out on the lanai, and then walk straight out to the pool for a swim!
My only very small complaint was there is no bathtub, so if you're traveling with a baby like we were, the showers were a bit tricky.
Overall we would highly recommend this unit, and would love to stay here again!! Owners were fabulous to deal with and answered questions very promptly. Thank you!

Our family of 7 stayed here for 1 week to celebrate 2 graduations. It was wonderful! Accommodations were updated and comfortable. It was close to the beach (walking distance) but far enough to be quiet and restful. My wife and I enjoyed the restaurants and the proximity to Lahaina and the kids loved the beach, grassy areas and pool. Large bedrooms and bathrooms. The owners were very prompt with answering any questions we had. We would stay here again.

We stayed here in May for 5 nights to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It is in a perfect location in a nice gated community backing onto the golf course. Very clean, quiet and comfortable with all the amenities needed. Master bedroom with en-suite was very large and comfortable. Whaler's village close-by is good for restaurants, beach, and shopping. 7 minute drive to Lahaina with Front St. and the Old Luau are all well worth seeing. We had my wife and I and three older children and a friend, and we all enjoyed the condo very much. The owners are fairly new to renting and VRBO, but very fast at responding to all my questions. Staff at the office of the complex and the groundskeepers, etc. were all very nice and friendly. Would book again - definitely.
June 2015
We shared this beachy condo with another couple. It was so spacious and with the bedrooms on opposite sides of the condo quite private. The full size kitchen was perfect and we loved the outdoor patio with it's tropical view and dining area. Tennis courts close on one side and the pool close on the other. The condo was perfect and we hope to stay there again soon.

Just returned from 9 nights here. This condo was terrific, especially for families with young kids. Everything you would hope for, including a welcome box of chocolates, paper products, and toiletries. The location is superb, just a short walk to the Whaler's village. The ground level condo is ideal for families with small kids, no stairs to climb up/down and a 200 ft walk to the pool area. The kitchen included plastic plates and cups, another bonus for families. We were able to reserve the pack n' play, too.
Beds were cozy and the decor was modern. Condo was equipped with HD TVs, including premium goodies like Netflix. We appreciated the beach chairs, boogie boards and other beach gear. Would come back in a heartbeat!
