We loved our stay here, the property was breathtaking! The property was very well taken care of with very kind staff. We can’t wait to come back again!

Let me start by saying I did get a good amount refunded by the owner of the condo. So that was helpful. Howeve, upon arrival I noticed mold in the shower at first (we arrived later in the day and were tired from travel) so we firstly go washed up and took a shower after a late dinner. The mold in the shower on the ceiling and upper walls was black mold. So that sparked my inspection of the rest of the space. The walls not only in the main bathroom had mold, the light fixture and the laundry room that was also attached had mold spores on the ceiling as well. I suppose bad ventilation. But, I messaged the owner and he acted as though this was the first he's heard. However, it was apparent that there was new paint that was painted over corners of the ceilings and upper walls as if this has been an issue and was being covered up. It's obvious, the older walls were a dingy white and the new paint painted over certain areas was a true new white. Outside the laundry room in the hallway there was a HUGE stain probably about 3 feet by 3 feet of black mold on the ceiling hallway. There was also roaches periodically around the condo. The furniture had dust CAKED on them and was apparently not clean. The floors were dirty, with dirt and tons of left over sand. The washer smelled terribly, so we avoided using it unless towels needed to be cleaned. Mid stay there was a pest control person who showed up unannounced and sprayed WHILE we were in the space getting ready. So awkward.

Wonderful location, super clean condo with lots of amenities provided. Lots of communication from owner and easy to understand instructions. Probably one of the best stocked condos we've ever stayed in. Everything felt new and the view from the lanai simply can't be beat.

We had a wonderful week at this location! It's a wonderful spot surrounded by great restaurants and stores, close to whalers village and other popular locations. The condo was clean and spacious, had everything we needed. The dryer broke before we came but the host was accomodating and brought us extra towels. Pool is small but there's lots of chairs and its never full. You don't have beach front directly in front but its a very short walk to a great beach and swimming area. Parking was great. We were not expecting to have that be an additional charge, figured it came with the cost but that's pretty common at places in maui so it didn't bother us much. The room also came with 4 beach chairs which was amazing to bring with us every day. Super close to a snorkel bobs where you can get more chairs and tents to rent. Napili is just a SHORT drive away and it's the most beautiful beach. We would definitely stay here again!

This was my first time to Maui and it was wonderful. The condo was comfortable and the views were incredible. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Loved all the plastic containers for our snacks and food to take to the golf courses. The pool could use some maintenance along the edging where the tile was missing and there appeared to be algae growing.

Aloha!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in this awesome condo. The views of the ocean were magnificent. We cancelled a couple of activities so we could just relax and enjoy our peaceful condo. If you visit Maui we highly recommend visiting the Pineapple Farm (near the airport). The complimentary pineapples were the best and juciest pineapple we've ever eaten!!! Mahalo ... Michael!!!

Came here during spring break in March 2025. Here’s what I would say. Like in many other reviews, the building and condo are older, we knew that going in. it could use a new coat of paint and a refresh for some of the furniture. My daughter complained that her bed was super squeaky and would wake her up. The air conditioning didn’t work all that well, it is not central air. It struggled to keep up and the temps were high 70s and lower 80s. Pool was basic, but nice. Beach was a little bit of a disappointment because it’s sandbagged which took away from the beauty of the beach views IMO. Balcony was a wrap around which was great for looking out at the ocean, but you really couldn’t keep the windows open at night because the air conditioning would get overloaded. Also there are many windows in the condo so you really had to make sure curtains were pulled to manage the heat in the afternoon. The beach access is the next building over. So you would need to carry supplies about 50-100 yards or so, not that big of a deal, but something to consider.. Kitchen was well appointed, Communication with owner was good, had an issue checking in and she was quick to respond. Location overall was good, there’s a few restaurants, dive shop, convenience store, liquor store, and coffee shop all with walking distance which was great.Quick drive to Kaanapali beach and Blackrock. This is not luxury or the 4 Seasons, but it was a large unit with plenty of room for the 4 of us.

We enjoyed our 6-day stay. Condo was exactly as advertised, was very clean and full of amenities to enhance our stay…from the well-stocked kitchen to the beach accessories and the two pair of binoculars to whale watch from the lanai. The bed was comfy and the shower had good water pressure and temperature. The condo was a perfect size for the two of us.The building’s pool and BBQ area was a good size with shade, overlooking the ocean. There are sand bags on the shore to prevent erosion so there is no direct beach access but a small beach can be accessed just south of the property.Check in was very easy and parking was ample.We would recommend the condo to anyone looking to stay in the Kahana area.

Overall we had a great experience here. The view was facing westward towards Lanai and Molokai, so sunsets were especially nice. Lots of outdoor seating on the balcony. Although it is oceanfront, the beach was small at the property and there were large sand bags to prevent erosion (we were aware of this before booking). To get to a larger beach you could walk down the road or take a short car ride. This was not a big deal to us, but easier beach access might be important to some. The pool area was nice, with an area to barbecue. The condo was comfortably furnished, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there was a nice welcome basket. The owner was responsive and gracious. Parking was easy. There are a few restaurants and basic shopping within walking distance. It is a very easy drive to popular areas such as Kaanapali, Kapalua, and Lahaina.

The best part about this condo is all the windows. If you open them and turn the AC off you get an amazing breeze that is the perfect temperature day and night.

Views were great. The condo was very clean. Had to fix the living room sliding door with lubricants to get it to slide. Bedroom slider didn’t work at all. Needs a facelift but that did not affect usage. Was there for two weeks. Even with the minor issues , I would stay there again.

We were mostly pleased with this property. Certainly the view from the lanai was spectacular. The bedding and all furnishings were lovely and very comfortable. The clever walk-through closet allowed ample storage for hanging clothes and allows for privacy in dressing and accessing the bathroom. As a party of 3 we would have appreciated more shelf or drawer storage area in the living room, although there was ample drawer space to share in the bedroom. The kitchen was extremely well supplied for all of our—or anyone’s—needs. Some of the kitchen cupboards were locked. We would have appreciated an extra cupboard for storage of groceries. The owners were extremely helpful with information, and even had the cleaning crew alerted to look for a lost item we noticed after checking out. That was very much appreciated. We highly recommend this rental property.

Great location with great ocean views. Unit was clean except for garbage left under the sink. The unit showed it’s wear and tear with dated carpet, furniture and appliances but it worked and was functional. The bulbs in table lamps were different colors and we weren’t able to turn on the bedroom lights even with instructions from manager. Air conditioning was great. Beach toys and towels were in the closet and we appreciated having them. .

This was our first time in Maui. Condo was perfect along with the location. The amenities that were provided were extremely helpful. Check in was easy and staff was super friendly. Condo was very clean, bright and cozy. Parking fee seemed a little high. The condo felt like home. We did purchase a noodle for the pool and added to the condo supplies. We will definitely rent Royal Kahana 309 again. Thank you Thank you so much it was a wonderful vacation

When attempting to book our recent stay, I viewed this property and was impressed with the high ratings and great reviews. After spending 6 weeks in this unit, now fully understand why the excellent reviews! The view from the living room and lanai; the charming unit which was stocked with all essentials for kitchen, pool and beach; location of the condo for groceries, restaurants and stores; quiet setting and surroundings of the Royal Kahana - all of those provided a marvelous setting and a wonderful 6 weeks getaway! We met Rick and his wife - both delightful and both above and beyond in communication if any questions arose. Highly recommend!

Lovely condo, great view of ocean and close to the pool, but not a lot of noise from that area. Roberta & Chuck were very responsive, easy peasy check in/out. Condo was well stocked, loved the big coffee cups for my daily Kona coffee on the lanai. Were there last week of Feb., saw whales breaching everyday, what a site to see!! Turtleswere plentiful too!! Felt very safe, on & off the property. great shops within walking distance. Already planning my return!!

This unit has a great view from the deck. The view was the top item of the unit and the selling point on why we chose this place for our first visit to Hawaii. We wanted a great view and were not disappointed. The a/c struggles to keep it cool inside, but with the help of 2 floor fans it was adequate for us given that we stayed in February. The layout of the unit with its rooms provided vey sufficient space. The unit was adequate, but we will likely not return. Other than the bedroom, the furniture, decor, furnishings and painting could be updated. There was rust on the coffee maker plate, the table on the deck, inside the freezer and on the stove. The light in the dining area had multiple layers of dust on it. It was great to have the beach chairs and umbrella, but we were surprised to find sand and water in the pockets of a couple of the chairs. We were unable connect to the wi-fi with our iPhones and our Mac air connection to the wi-fi was insufficient at best. The caretaker was very kind and courteous. She attempted to guide us through the wi-fi troubles, but it didn’t work. She was very responsive to needs for supply of bathroom paper products. The major disappointment was lack of a beach; there is certainly a shoreline but it is lined with multiple layers of sand bags to stop erosion of the shoreline. It seems to be in a good central location on West Maui.

The host had the condo very well stocked! Paper products, kitchen items (pan spray, tin foil, garbage bags, coffee filters), laundry detergent, hand soap and even shampoo and conditioner! There were beach towels, beach chairs, toys for kids (if you have some) and even flippers! We had a slight issue with the Air Conditioning and they were out to fix it within the hour! The ocean, pool and mountain views are amazing! The condo is a bit smaller than the photos online; however, it was spacious enough and we were very pleased! The grilling area was "extremely" clean and the pool nice a peaceful. We would definitely stay here again!

It was extremely easy to book, arrive, and enjoy this property and I'm disappointed I hadnt stayed here earlier. The 2.5 baths are a plus for larger groups and the huge lanai is amazing during whale season. Walking distance to restaurants and coffee and the coded door lock was quick to learn. Recent updates are noticeable and appreciated. Someone did back into our rental car while we were there and there are no cameras of that area, This is the first time this has happened to us, but be mindful of the narrow parking spots.

Great views; whales, sea turtles, water sports enthusiasts. Spacious living & bedroom areas, adequate deck.A few fixes are needed & housekeeping had not done an adequate job of ensuring things—such as draperies, dishwasher & safe—were in working order. What we did report upon check-in was remedied immediately (matching glassware)All-in-all a great stay!

Room was smaller than appears in pictures. The A/C was not very cold room faces the West so in the afternoons it warmed up to 80 plus each day. Beach access is not direct , plan for a short hike.

We had actually owned this unit several years ago, and returned for nostalgia sake. We were very happy with the condition of the condo, and the overall appearance of the royal Kahana. It was fun to see a lot of our signature still there. This is a good unit to stay in for overall views, and whale watching.

Outstanding views from wrap around lanai. Unit was relatively clean but could use a deep cleaning. Location was the tops and easy to get to beaches and restaurants. Owner provided small amenities and previous renters left shampoos and sunscreens. We loved our stay and would recommend this unit.

As the pictures shown by the owner is what you get. The condo is setup perfectly for either 2/3 people. Spend lots of time out on the balcony, favourite thing to do is watch for whales or paddle boarders floating by. The owner is wonderful to deal with. Did visit Dollies twice, love their pizza, and did check out next door Captain Jacks which was very nice too. Pork quesadillas were delicious.

The unit was very clean and plenty of cooking utensils, the view of the whales right from the balcony amazing. The only downside was the air would not go below 75 and when we inquired about that they said thats the lowest, which was really weird.

The property is as described. There is an ocean view from the lanai. The unit has all the needed amenities and was comfortable and clean. Convenient location in Kahana and walking distance to the beach and local shops. The only issue I had was the key did not work on my arrival, but the property manager got it sorted out quickly.
