We had a good time. PROS: Location, AC (rusted), View, Close to ocean and some stores and parks. Enough towels and beach towels. Beach chairs and icebox, shampoo, conditioner, lotion and a small amount of cleaning supplies. Good security. The wonderful people at the front desk! They are amazing!CONS: Charge for parking. COCKROACHES :( Place not completely clean. Waaaay outdated :( Furniture are very old and wearout. Uncomfortable mattress, stained old bedding. Windows and drapery all dirty, rusted and falling apart :( Kitchen: rusted kitchen utensils, bad quality cooking spoons and knives, they do not even provide the essentials! salt & pepper, olive oil, sugar and coffee would be nice. Too little laundry detergent. The place does not look like in the pictures showed online. The pool is nice but it doesn't look clean. I would recommend this place but if they to some serious TLC(tender loving care) to it.

PROS: Good location. Nice view. Secure. People at the front desk nice and helpful. Quiet :)
Close to stores and parks, some restaurants. Offers beach chairs, enough towels and beach towels, shampoo, conditioner, lotion. Some cleaning supplies.
CONS: COCKROACHES, expensive parking, very old and outdated furniture and mattress, very poor quality of kitchen utensils (cooking spoons, etc) getting rusted. No rags to clean the stove. Other places welcome you with a well stocked kitchen with salt and pepper, olive oil, sugar and coffee, but this one, you'll have to buy all or your very expensive necessities for a few days and then throw them away :( The counters are plastic and old.
Next time, I will look for a place that does not charge for parking. You definitely, need a car to go around, it is not like you'll be coming in a parachute and drop on top of the building. Thank you.

The unit was tidy, and the check-in process was smooth. Although you are close to the ocean, there is no beach access on the property. The unit has been updated, however several updates were done with cost-cutting in mind. The shower rods are not securely fixed and tend to fall. Additionally, the coffee table lacks stability, swaying easily. The curtains are thin and somewhat transparent and let in a lot of light. The outdoor patio is small and quite compact. Although clean, we would not stay at this property again.

The unit was clean. We did not realize it was on the 6th floor. Thought we had a beach walkout and the beach in front of the resort was not the best. We did have a little trouble getting in; hardware a little dated. And we could not figure out regular stations to watch on TV. We are football fans and couldn’t watch ESPN. I did message our host about getting in the unit, and TV issues and did not get a response. Their instruction book was very good. We tried all the restaurant recommendations and they were very good. Enjoyed our Pacific Whale Foundation trip very much. Overall very good but a few little glitches!

My overall experience with the rental was pretty good except 1 thing as mentioned below. Condo was very clean and organized, newly renovated and the host did a great job of providing us lot of starter supply including laundry detergent and dryer sheets which made us really enjoyed our time here without worrying about all the household errands to get the supply. I would highly recommend this place with a very good views of the ocean from the balcony and bed room! I would stay at this rental and with this host again!!The only 1 issue I mentioned above was with AC. The AC was not working since we checked-in and I was told that it's the issue with the Resort AC system, but I don't think that was the case because the AC didn't work until I checked out after 7 days of rental and if it's an issue with the resort AC - I would think it would have been an issue for other condos too and in that case, it would have been fixed sooner because more than 1 condo is impacted. However, the host did a good job of providing us 2 portable ACs so it was not too bad, only thing with portal AC is it needs the exhaust so we need to leave a portion of windows open so portable AC is constantly running and still it doesn't cool enough because some portion of windows is open. Other than that, we did fully enjoy our stay here!

First time trip to Maui and I am so glad we stayed here!
Communication with the property Owner prompt and informative - MB sent us a detailed message about the property rules, offerings and parking situation. Booking with them was a breeze.
The property itself was nice - the view as we walked in the condo literally made us drop our bags, no joke!!
It also had the perfect amount of amenities! The condo came stocked with beach chairs, beach towels a cooler and snorkeling gear. It also had a full kitchen with a drip coffee maker and just about every utensil/pot & pan you need.
We didn’t really need to use the AC, seeing as it was December, it only got low 80s each day. The bedroom has a nice ceiling fan as well as an additional fan if needed. But you get a great breeze from the ocean and adjoining lanai door.
Speaking of lanais, I drank coffee every single day with this view - it was absolute heaven. I’m pretty sure if we had traveled a little later in the month, we would have been able to see whales.
Front desk staff is friendly and the pool area is kept nice and even has a little snack shack with fruit cups and smoothies. The condo is walking distance to a Whalers General store, Shell gas station and a McDonalds.
You may have to go a little ways down or to another property to “sit” on the beach staying here, but that might also be different in another season or timeframe. This IS definitely oceanfront, though.
Looking forward to staying here again!!

Reviewer Comments:
This unit has a very nice ocean view. Upon entering I did notice a bit of a musty smell. The sheets on the bed were so damp they were almost wet. A couple things broke while I was there and in my opinion this unit needs a thorough maintenance update. Several drawers in the bathroom and kitchen do not open since they are obstructed by millwork or the kitchen stove. The doors to the washer/dryer do not close all the way as they are obstructed by the washer/dryer. Windows and sliders are difficult to open and close and the slider is difficult to lock. They are aluminum and could stand a replacement. The trim around the windows needs to be replaced as there are rust stains on it and it is in generally rough shape. The unit is cute in the pictures, and also cute in reality but the overall rough shape of the unit detracts from it's charm.

The condo is perfect. Todd is a great owner and communicator. The condo is updated beautifully with every amenity you could hope for! Our only complaint is that Mother Nature has eroded the beach and the Royal Kahana is trying to fix the problem, but construction on that project is early and not pretty. Todd was very understanding and considerate about this issue. Thank you Todd for a wonderful stay. We'd highly recommend this or any other properties owned by Todd Christenson.

The first thing I noticed when we opened the door, was the view of the ocean that looked to be “right there.” My favorite thing to do was to sit on the lanai and look for sea turtles bobbing up and down in the surf.

We received a welcome gift of waters and chips for two. The white bath, linens and toiletries were new. It’s a convenient location in a safe area. My children and I fully enjoyed our stay in Maui. There were a few issues that weren’t handled well by the property manager, such as finding critter poop on the hand towel, bedside table, and bedsheet; sand on the bedspread and sheets; and a sofa bed could not unfold for the third guest. I spent part of my vacation time washing all the towels, sheets, pillowcases, and blankets. I like cleanliness, and this did not make the grade.

Royal Kahana 409 Was a Royal experience to say the least! To start, the property management company made it all so easy and quick. Check in instructions were thorough and its nice to have all the info you need in one email. The span of views from the unit were second to none and we watched huge groups of turtles come up on the beach daily. We were a little early for whale season but they started pouring in near the end of our stay. The kitchen, Bathroom, all of it were not your typical resort amenities, they rivaled most high end homes. We will be staying here again, maybe for years to come. A blessed experience!!!!

The owners did not miss one opportunity to make this vacation home a true gem. Everything in the unit is top of the line;
a. The kitchen appliances, glassware, cutlery, and anything else you need.
b. The master bedroom and the king bed was perfect and super comfortable.
c. TV and entertainment systems.
d. Beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, and touts.
The unit is spotless and modern with many upgrades including the bathroom, shower, and all new paint.
The view of the ocean and islands is breathtaking. The pool area is perfect and the BBQ area is outstanding.

My prior VRBO review submissions were in two categories: five stars or no review. But this one I thought merited some feedback. I agree with a previous reviewer (Irina) that the entire unit was maybe not as updated as expected, and was overpriced. In response to Irina's review, the host stated that wood shutters would hopefully be installed by March. FYI - those shutters were not installed by our stay which ended after the first week in April. The owner acknowledged the broken/cracked mirror we saw on arrival, the housekeeper acknowledged already knowing about the broken mirror and busted kitchen drawer. We removed one spider web in the window, and after the host told us to send further issues to housekeeping, we sent housekeeping a sample/picture of the dust that was accumulating on the walls/paint. Front door needed to be pulled/pushed a bit to make sure it locked. We noticed the balcony door was unlocked upon arrival, and we were unable to get it to lock. Wi-fi cut out a lot while trying to work (had issues with internet connectivity whether Apple, Android, or other device at all times of day/night). Ended up using mobile hotspot instead. Thought we were paying more than other options to get quality. But the unit was as Irina stated, just Okay.

We were in awe of the ocean views, especially at sunsets. The size of the condo was so perfect for us 4 adults. We will never go anywhere else but this. Thank-you so much to the owner for making our vacation so perfect!!!!

This is the second time staying at this condo of mikes. We love it. He is very attentive and easy to work with. He let us know information about the island before we went on the trip. Mike is the best host out there.

We loved our stay here. The place was clean and came equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed sitting on the Lanai every morning having breakfast and admiring the view. The kitchen was fully equipped. Communication with host was great. The location is great. Close to a lot great things in Maui. The Laundry machine worked great for us. Highly recommended.

This Vrbo was great for just my husband and I! (Would not recommend for more than 1 couple just fyi). We had all the amenities we needed within the condo for cooking/living space on a vacation. Location was great for multiple beach access, grocery stores, restaurants, even a local food truck park! Everything was great! The building even held our bags on our departure date since we had 7 hours between checkout and flight, so we could go to the beach one last time and use the showers to clean up before heading to the airport. Recommend all around!

I write this review to say the location, property and unit were lovely. Our timing was terrible in that we arrived the day of the wildfires and tropical storm. There was no electricity, hot water, internet or reliable cell service on the whole west side of the island. The roads were closed and nothing was open so we were stranded here for a few days. That being said, my daughter enjoyed swimming in the ocean and playing on the beach. The access to the beach couldn’t have been easier. We obviously could not enjoy the amenities and our stay was cut short due to evacuation. But I would love to stay here again under better circumstance. The host was very responsive. During such tragic and unexpected times, the few staff and front desk ladies were so kind and helpful. As soon as the west side is ready for visitors, I would highly recommend this property. Our thoughts are with Maui and all who have lost so much🙏💔.

Our vacation was really great in Maui. We were there this week and stayed at David and Nancy’s condo. Lovely place, very clean with all amenities. Right before the trip David sent a bunch of information which was very useful and also answered promptly for any questions or queries. Their place is a true ocean view. Every morning we had breakfast on the patio overlooking the ocean and turtles were swimming in it. This is a lovely place for a small family. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will ever need to cook your meals. It even has all the small appliances like rice cooker, blender etc. My family loved this place as well. The whole facility is well kept. Their pool is heated so nice to soak up at night after you swam in the ocean. We all had a great time in Maui. Thanks to the lovely hosts. If we ever come back I will look up for David’s place again.

The good:
The view is excellent
The bad:
We rented this unit because the listing said they had AC. The AC didn't work properly. We let the property owner know and she told us to call the managment company. We called and they sent someone out. They said the AC needed repair and AC tech. The property owner sent us a message apologizing but said she couldn't get an AC tech within the next 2 weeks. That wasn't acceptable and I let her know. She offered no concessions.

This is a beautiful, spacious condo with a wonderful lanai that's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a gorgeous sunset. It 100% lived up to the description and photos in the listing, and we were excited to end our Hawaii vacation in this wonderful spot.
The owner was also amazing to work with--graciously arranging to have our luggage packed up and sent to us when the recent wildfires on Maui interrupted our stay, preventing us from retrieving our things before we needed to leave the island. The beauty we experienced both in the sites of Maui and in the amazing people we met while there have us eager to plan a return trip. And we'll definitely look to this property as a top choice for a play to stay when we do.

This is truly a magical place. We arrived 3 days prior to the fires and we had to leave for safety reasons. However, The listing is accurate in every detail. Beautiful views, lots of space, plenty of kitchen supplies, laundry, beach towels, ect. Just bring shower supplies. You will need those. A/C works great, but we enjoyed turning it off and enjoying the breeze and ocean sounds of opening the windows. Truly magical. There are great local shops and small grocery stores within walking and larger ones a short drive away. The ground are well managed and offer a great pool, clean and cut lawns and gardens. Sea turtles can be seen from deck and many other possible sites. We even saw dolphins running with a catamaran. Owner always was in contact when needed and provided great amount of information upon arrival. They were a joy and blessing to work with. I am sure I am overlooking something, but this was a great experience (minus the fire tragedy) and we would absolutely look to reboot and revisit again. Hopefully Maui and it’s people will recover and rebuild quickly.

The condo was perfect for our needs, beautiful ocean view, easy beach access. Unfortunately, we booked our stay one day before the hurricane hit and two days before the fires. The owners were very communicative and helpful. They even refunded some of our money. Gave it to three families and putting the rest to the Maui Humane Society. Hopefully anyone reading this will help, as well. Can’t wait to go back, stay at this location and offer to help rebuild. Would definitely stay here again!

Views from this condo are incredible - amazing sunsets, and we saw sea turtles from the balcony at least 20 times. Great location on the island - easy walk to snorkel rental and a few shops and restaurants, and just a short drive to Lahaina. Some casual restaurants with great views we enjoyed just a short drive away: The Gazebo, The Sea House, The Beach House. We also had a great time snorkeling just a short drive away at Slaughterhouse Beach (weird name but beautiful beach). Cold filtered water in the lobby for filling up our water bottles was great, too.
