Epic Realty was very difficult to reach. Office hours on answering machine 10-5 m-f but voice message system was 11-5 and office closed weekends. Did not receive check-in instructions till I asked via email/texts at least 2 times. No one answered the office phone when called. Units air conditioner was extremely loud and located in master bedroom. It didn't cool well. Was told could have looked at the next day. We were only staying for 3 days so no sense of urgency Unit was old and well used.

This condo is beautifully decorated. You will be supplied with everything you need for the beach. They even have binoculars to spot whales. We usually stay at Royal Kahana and will again. The reason I gave the property manage 1 star was due to them power washing around the pool for 5 hours ruining the tranquility

Renee was fantastic to work with. Very responsive to our questions and accommodating. The unit was clean, well equipped, and right on the ocean with amazing views. We spent our nights falling asleep to the sound of the waves breaking on the shore. Location was great and close to area activities. Weather was fantastic. It was difficult to get on the plane and leave! Would highly recommend this unit and we look forward to a return trip!

My partner and I were travelling to Maui fir a 6 day vacation. Simple condo by oceanfront that has all your essentials: king size bed with a comfortable mattress, fully stocked kitchen, cute balcony, and extras like beach chairs, umbrella, coolers for your daytrips/beach days.FYI, parking is $18 extra per day, and we saw at least one car have a with a wheel clamp, so pay your parking. Host was communicative, and quickly responded to our concerns. Overall, would recommend for a simple and practical trip to Maui.

Awesome shower, cool kitchen tile, and a great lanai. The host was incredibly accommodating with an issue I had before arrival. Would love to stay again.

Older but well cared for condos. Parking always available but lot striping was designed for smaller cars of past years when all rentals were compacts. Slow internet. Sony TV in living room needs a new remote. Four adults, we enjoyed the seating and layout in the living room. Windows needed exterior cleaning ( hard to maintain with rain). Would recommend and would go again. Thanks.

I don’t know where to start! The property is absolutely beautiful. The condo is absolutely amazing! The cleanliness is superb. There isn’t an amenity that was missed. With all this said, the best part of this listing is the property manager. I’ve rented other properties in the past, and I have never had a property manager with this level of kindness, communication, and hospitality!!! If I could give a 100 star rating I would. Thank You so much for making our trip memorable and beyond special. We have decided to return multiple times and this is the ONLY place we will ever stay. Again, MANY MANY THANKS!!!!!!!!

We loved the condo that we stayed in. There was a lovely patio with a gorgeous ocean view for breakfast and happy hour. The area had beautiful vistas, lovely beaches and fun food trucks nearby. The condo itself was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. We were sad to leave!

Condo was very clean and maintained. The couch really needs to be replaced. You do sink into the couch when sitting on it. Everything else was absolutely awesome.

This condo was on the 6th floor with great views! It was perfect for my husband and I. While there was some work on the building during weekdays, it was no problem for us. We especially loved that there was an awesome sushi place right across the street (MisoPhat) and spent a couple of afternoon/eves snorkeling and watching the sunset at Kahekili Beach. Amazing and so close- short drive.with ample parking! Check in and out was super simple! Love that!! Great stay!

It’s was ok. The beach has washed away and there are large sandbags in its place but you don’t have to walk far for a decent beach. The people are friendly.

A few things to know about this unit: It has a nice view of the ocean but not of the sunset. The patio furniture is at least 15+ years old and one chair is broken. The utensils in the kitchen are cheap, knives are rusty with broken tips(couldn't cut a tomato). I do not think anyone has used or uses the kitchen while staying there. There is the bare minimum of plates, cups, etc..not well stocked, run dishwasher everyday. Most every VRBO I've stayed in has condiments/sandwich bags/foil, basic kitchen supply's and most have sunscreen/lotion etc left by previous guests. Not this unit, everything is stripped and thrown away after each guest. Check in is at 4:00pm, not a second sooner, even though cleaner was done at 2:00pm, we met her, we were not able to go in before 4:00pm. Any other VRBO are more than willing ot accomidate if available it seems. Pool and BBQ area is very nice, great sunsets from down there. Also, there is no beach access from the property, just an fyi.

Wonderful view! Very clean, the furnishings were updated, the kitchen was well stocked, the beach accessories provided were great, and we also enjoyed the pool area. Would definitely stay again.

Good facility for the money. Our only complaint was with the property manager. There was VERY LOUD construction work being done right outside our unit for more than one day. When we called to complain we were told that there was a statement on the VRBO site, telling us to expect construction work. Therefore they would not relocate us to another unit. We did not see a statement to that effect and our belief is that although the statement may be on the site now, it wasn't there three months before our trip, which was when we made the booking. Never did the property manager indicate that perhaps it was their failing. We were simply told we were at fault.

Todd could not have been better to work with. The property was peaceful... about an hour drive to our activities but worth it to stay here. Saw 2 monk seals from our room not to mention the turtles. We missed whale season but we're told you can't help but see them when they are here.

The property was comfortable, well furnished and with a fully equipped kitchen. The pool area was clean and well maintained. I would recommend this affordable property for a stay with several dinning options in the area.

This was a beautiful condominium. The balcony had a great view of the ocean. We had an issue with the sleeper couch and called the owner. They were very responsive and caring. It needed a new mattress and the next day it was brought in and replaced. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

My husband and I have stayed at the Royal Kahana 3 previous times in different condos each time and at different times in the year. We both agreed that this one bedroom was the best one yet. The condo was clean, had decent upgrades and appliances. The kitchen had everything needed to stay the week and just buy our groceries. The closet had chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and coolers for our beach time. The real perk here was the comfortable bed. It was unexpected that the bed would be as comfortable as our own at home and it really makes a difference when you're staying somewhere else. David and Nancy checked in with us before, during and at the end of our stay. We loved our stay for the week and will definitely plan to stay here again.

We had a great stay at Royal Kahana! The condo was exactly as described and was stocked with everything we needed for the week. We especially loved relaxing on the balcony and watching the waves, and we couldn't believe how many turtles we saw! We would absolutely stay here again our next time in Maui!

My husband, n I already knew we would love this place because this is our third year in this building, n the second time in this unit. We were so happy when we were able to book this exact unit for this years trip. Watching the sunset every night is breathtaking. The best snorkeling we have ever experienced is right there. Would definitely stay again.

October 2024

Check-in process was easy and location was excellent. However the furniture and fixtures and mattresses were dated. It was stated that the unit had a new A/C but the thermostats indicated over 80 degrees when we checked-in at 4PM. By 10PM it was still at 76-78 degrees. The bedroom ceiling fans helped but was not enough that we even had to add a desk fan. 2 of the 3 tower/floor fans provided did not work.

Easy check in and out. Condo was comfy and had good beach gear. Great views from the living room & lanai. Good location, with a few restaurants within walking distance. Pool was the perfect temperature.

Everything was absolutely perfect during our 9 night stay. The condo has obviously gone through a high-end renovation. Absolutely beautiful custom kitchen with plenty of storage. And it was fully stocked with all necessary kitchenware, as well as spices, garbage bags, paper towels, dish soap, etc. The full sized washer and dryer were new, and extremely efficient. There was even laundry soap available. The bathroom was also beautifully renovated with the same granite top as in the kitchen. Plush and comfortable carpet in the living room and bedroom. We were impressed with the fancy bamboo/wicker (?) curtains in the bedroom and living room. And the furniture throughout the entire condo was incredibly upscale and spectacular! High class, Hawaiian style furniture you would expect in upscale, ritzy homes. The lanai (private balcony) had a million dollar view. During many early mornings, we saw rainbows in the distance, and tons of turtles swimming in the water late afternoons. The entire building was extremely well-taken care of, friendly folks, serene and super clean. Concierge staff always greeted us with warm “aloha’s”. We appreciated the complementary, filtered water cooler in the lobby. The location of the property was perfect. Within less than 10 minutes, we were at the very best restaurants and shopping, and secluded and beautiful beaches. We recommend the Cane & Canue, as well as The Banyan Tree restaurants. During the past 15 years or so, we have sta
