This has been a fantastic place to stay for our family. We have a family of 5 and finding a hotel without having to book 2 rooms has become incredibly hard to do these days. Additionally, the prices to stay in this area of Hawaii even in a VRBO is quite expensive. I found this spot to amazing for the price and what you get for it. It has a beautiful view facing the ocean and we loved sitting on the balcony in the mornings and evenings. It has perfect space for 5 people (2 twin beds, 1 pullout couch and upstairs bedroom). Its a short walk to the beach and located to the ABC store and restaurants. The owners are very transparent about not having air conditioning. I took a chance, even though my wife cannot handle getting overheated, but they had lots of fans (we had 2 going upstairs, plus the ceiling fan) and the kids each had a fan in their rooms. While it does get decently warm at night, we had cool showers before going to bed and with the fans blowing it was not a problem for us. I would say, that if you absolutely cannot handle the fact it might be warm at night, and you need to sleep in cold conditions, then perhaps this is not the spot for you, but I would argue that if you stay here and then give it anything less than a 5 star review because you couldn't handle the temperature, then that is not a fair review.
The owners were very responsive to our questions when we needed them for a few things. Thank you!
I would highly recommend!!!

This unit was perfect for us! Even without air conditioning, the cross breezes made it very comfortable. The unit was very clean and well stocked. Excellent communication with the property manager both before and during our stay. Close to several beaches aside from the famous Black Rock beach. I would absolutely book here again.

We had a great time here. Third time at this property, and we will be back for certain!
Our host was very quick to reply and always very helpful!

This place was perfectly placed and priced! Responses about property were prompt. We have been coming to Maui for more than 40 years. This place had a wonderful view and was comfortably stocked with necessary items. The trolly stopped close enough to the property that our kids felt comfortable taking it alone to the beach and Whaler's Village. Breezes were nice and fans are provided for those "hot bodies" in your group. We will return!

This is the second time we've stayed here and will continue to come back each time we are in Maui. Awesome location, great vibe for adults and kids throughout the property, and the owner is super responsive and helpful. We love it here!

Overall I was unsatisfied with the booking of this property. Don't trust the reviews that state they were able to access the AC in this property. Despite my attempts to validate this with the owner in advance, the response from the owner was misleading and untrustworthy. The thermostat is padlocked and not able to be accessed. The owner was also slow to respond during our trip to my requests for support (~2 days to reply). Only book this unit if you don't plan to need mid-trip support and do not care about having access to AC.

Location of the condo was perfect, nice walk to the big hotels, Whaler's Village and beaches. Communications with owner was excellent. Front desk reception lady was pleasant and plenty of parking. Didn't make it to the pool, but had a great view. View overlooking the golf course to the hotels and water was a perfect "10".

Although the furnishings are a bit dated, the condo is in a great location- within walking distance of the beach, shopping and great restaurants.

We liked staying here. One reason was because of the bedroom arrangement - masters upstairs and the other downstairs. The separation was great.
Beautiful view! Very affordable.

We really enjoyed the condo. The Condo was close to the property entrance where we caught the trolley. Enjoyed the well stocked condo (beach towels and portable chairs) and the sunset views from the lanai.
(Do wish the homeowners association did more for recycling.)

We had a great time in this rental. This was beyond and better than we were looking for. Very spacious, beautiful sunsets and sunrises with a nice space to eat on the balcony. Also very well located and easy access to both Lahaina and Napaali. Very convenient Kitchen and beautiful pool nearby . I will definitely be back there.
And working with Peter was very easy. He is really good at communicating the information and takes care very well of all the details . Very pleased with this experience

My friends and I could not be happier. This place was exactly what we were hoping for. The area is peaceful and has a beautiful view to wake up to. My friends and I were able to get in a morning run each day around the condo, and it was just amazing! We were in walking distance to get to our zip lining meeting spot, our luau, good restaurants, a bar, and Whaler's Village where there are plenty of stores. This condo is well maintained, and has all of the things travelers need to stay comfortably. The condo was exactly how the pictures represented it. Peter is a very pleasant person to work with and is prompt at responding. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here, and I would definitely come back the next time we decide to go to Maui.

We had an amazing stay at this condo. The location was perfect for us. Peter, Laura and Alicia was very helpful. Very lovely to deal with.
This condo is definitely home away from home. We will be back next time we are in maui.

We were lucky enough to spend 7 weeks at this condo.
The pros are:
1) the condo is very large and comfortable. It is very well stocked.
2) the lanai is also very large and has great views. The bonus was the electric BBQ on the lanai.
3) the location was so handy. The Fairway Shops are only about a 3 - 5 min. walk. There are 4 restaurants there. Whaler's Village and the beach were about a 10 min. walk. It is uphill when you are coming back. There is always the option of catching the trolley.
4) we only had a car for part of the time. It was very easy to get around by bus which we caught at Whaler's Village.
5) the pool area was nice and usually very quiet.
6) Peter was very easy to work with and responded quickly to any and all inquiries.
7) Laura was also very responsive. One of the lounge chairs broke and it was replaced right away.
As far as we were concerned there were no cons and would highly recommend it.

We stay at Kaanapali Royal on our regular visits to Maui because we love the location, the beautiful grounds and the quiet atmosphere. This was our second visit to this unit. The unit is exactly as the photos represent and we found it to be clean and well stocked with towels and beach equipment. We really enjoy the large private lanai with wonderful ocean views. We appreciated our welcome phone call from Peter making sure everything was satisfactory.

It was just my coworker and I , very large , perfect for a family. The reason why we chose to stay here is because whalers village is right across the street, best beach ever. Great food, golf, great drinks, happy hour at most places 3-5. The tacos at Leilanis are delicious.
The only issue I had was the owners cleaning sevice is not providing good service . We found food on the carpets , the towels were not all cleaned and some of the supplies were not restocked.
Other than that we had a excellent time and would stay here again.
Thank you Peter for sharing your condo.

We love Maui, and have actually stayed at Ka'anapali Royal before, but this condo definitely felt like home to us. The views were amazing upstairs and downstairs, even spotting whales from the kitchen sink! We found the layout was absolutely perfect for our family. We enjoyed cooking evening meals at home, and then strolling down to Whaler's Village for ice-cream and watching the sunset! I would highly recommend this property for others to come enjoy.... as long as they don't book when we want to visit again! ;)
