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.

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.

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.

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

I have never seen the ocean, let alone fly in a plane so I started researching Maui years ago. Comparing so many other places to stay, even on other websites, this place came at the top of the list with price, view, accommodations, location, etc. You truly feel like you are house siting for someone! You won’t need to buy pesky things like dish soap, seasonings, sunscreen, rent coolers or beach chairs, they have everything there. On top of that, the view!! You can see turtles from the lanai along with the sunset every night. We felt so comfortable there & we already miss it so much. I hope the owners are proud of this place! You can tell they put so much love and thought into this condo. Mahalo for the greatest experience!

Keri’s place is the perfect everything! She has this apt packed with literally anything you could possibly need from beach chairs, toys, snorkels, to 2 different coffee makers, to a crazy amount of towels, to the the 5-6 different charging stations around the apt, this is just naming a few things! Can’t forget about the VIEW! The outdoor table was amazing to dine at! Great communication and seamless check in and check out!

The price was very reasonable for the amazing view you got from the balcony, the cleanliness of the condo, and the location, which gave us access to incredible beaches nearby. We saw so many sea turtles when we stayed at this place!

Easy check in parking is like 18 bucks a night now so be ready. Condo had amazing view and literally everything you could need. Kitchen well equipped and beach umbrella was a must. I am partial to the kahana area and this one didnt disappoint. Unless you have small children it might be a bit tight for 4, but it was perfect for us. Ive been lots of times to this area and would do this one again. Bedroom being ocean front was important to me, and even in september you get a great wind tunnel through the condo so we really never used the air. The doors all had holders on them ro keep them open. Its the little things....

Everything about this place made me feel like home!!! It was also very convenient to everything. The sunsets on the balcony were so beautiful. The studio was equipped with every single little thing you may need. The owner was so nice and very quick to respond to anything I asked. The complex workers were so sweet and polite. The pool was warm and relaxing. We went to Napili beach, it was a 6 minute drive. There was a little beach access in the complex too but we didn’t go in that one. I left some playing cards and Crayons, so that the next guests can create some memories, playing card games and also draw something cool about their experience. I wrote about my family’s adventure in their guest book, incase you need some pointers on your trip. I already miss being there, Hawaii was an experience I won’t ever forget! We Loved this area and studio! The washer and dryer in unit was a plus. 10 out of 10 recommend!!!! Till I see you again Hawaii!

Hubby and I stayed 5/22-6/4 to celebrate 25th anniversary. Gorgeous view of the ocean and sunsets over Molokai - 8th floor so no ground level noises, obstructions or insects. Corner spot was quiet and private. During our stay, low humidity temps in the 80's, and no major storms. No AC but opening the lanai and bedroom sliders with the front door open –has a lockable steel screen – made fabulous cooling cross breezes. Note – the lanai door is super hard to open and has no screen. The sound of waves and tropical breezes lulled us into deep sleep every night on the super comfy adjustable split king. Didn’t use the pool, but the beach below was never crowded - exclusive along that stretch due to beach erosion and tide patterns. Unit had an umbrella, cooler, chairs, beach towels, even battery lanterns for nighttime walks. Found more shells on “our” beach than other places promoted for shell hunting! Excellent sushi (Miso Phat), pizza, and several mini marts stores across the way or walkable. We rented a car, saw a bus stop just across the street. Great layout overall, nice décor, plenty of storage for our gear and Costco haul. Kitchen was nicely appointed, with laundry - so convenient! The drip coffee maker w/grinder had no instructions, but coffee provided was delicious once we figured it out. Lanai balcony was by far our favorite spot, ate every meal out there. It has a wonderful double chaise lounge for snuggling, reading and watching the turtles. Plan to rent again!

Nice view, convenient location and great value overall. The only issue we had was the wind noise. I've talked to other residents and it seems to be an issue with most of the units in the building. A quick tip for managing the wind noise - stick a pair of flipflops between the window screen and the door so it puts the pressure on the frame and seals the gap.

Maui is paradise. Unit as advertised although I could not see 6 people occupying for any length of time. Only 2 chairs at a bar for dinner (no table) and 2 chairs at Bistro table on patio. Perfect for my 2. The difficulty was communication. I have rented from VRBO several times successfully. This experience was difficult.
I "contacted" host 1 week prior to check-in just to touch base. No response. VRBO generic info said I would receive final details 3 days before check in. 3 days before - no news. I "contacted" host again. No response. 1 day before travel "contacted" host with plea to please respond. No response. I called the condo directly. They had no record of VRBO confirmation # but said they found my name after several tries and gave me a different conf#. Later Host respond they would send info soon. awaiting check out. We traveled 15 hours on wing and prayer. We arrived. Condo desk person had no record of either conf#. Condo Mgr called at home but no help. Private rental with no records of who they might rent to. Contacted host from front desk who said an email was sent from Oracode. Frantic email search found the details needed had been sent 2 hours before check in (1:02pm day of) from some unknown (spam) address "dormakaba". Bottom line. The unit number given and door code worked. It just created unnecessary angst. I would not rent from this host again

Reviewer Comments:
I spent an entire week at this property and had an incredible experience. It was furnished perfectly and in an incredible location with a perfect view. It was incredibly clean, quiet, and supplied with everything I could have needed during my stay. The pictures do not do this location justice. I would give this experience a 10 out of 10 and would recommend this property and the property management team to everyone.

We loved the location of the condo. We were able to spend our mornings on the lanai and look out onto the ocean and see tutles every day. The condo had an amazing cross breeze with so we didnt have to use the a/c at all.
Mike was in contact about a week prior to our stay and right before check in. Everything was as described. He also has so many extras not listed so if you happen to forget something more than likely he has it there for you.
We had an amazing stay and recommend the condo for a couple who would love to relax and have an amazing view!

We have stayed in lots of vacation rentals over the years but this unit by far has the most incredible view ! When I booked this vacation my two criteria were oceanfront view and good space. We got both and then some. My husband and I traveled with our three college age daughters . We were all comfortable and loved spending our evenings turtle watching and waiting for another amazing sunset. The only downside was that there is not a swimmable beach due to beach erosion and there is construction going on in and around the building. This just means it will be even better on the next visit. .
