I loved this property and the whole family really enjoyed the stay here. We explored a lot of Maui in our few days and so we had to do quite a bit of driving to get to other side of the island (road to Hana and Haleakala), but we spent a lot of time relaxing by the pool and the balcony and the property was great for our family of 5.

Our family of four loved this unit and all the beaches and adventures surrounding the area. Our four-year-old fish child loved looking over the pool, and we enjoyed the ocean view and lanai access from our room so we could sneak out after bedtime no problem. Our 9-month-old tucked into the walk-in closet - nice space perk. The unit was so clean which was so appreciated with a crawler. Laura was phenomenal and so speedy to respond! Had all the beach equipment needed and provided all the gear for our kiddos. 10/10!

If you are wanting to experience a vintage vibe then this is the place for you. We felt like we were in the 80’s / 90’s with the dark decor and styling throughout. On the initial face of it the place looked clean but on closer inspection, the bathroom and kitchen were in need of a deep clean, especially the utensils and multiple touch points with visible grime. The shower unit was a bit dirty and the shower panel doesn’t stop water going all over the bathroom floor. The floor tiling in the main area was uneven and visibly dirty through inadequate cleaning. The lighting was poor especially the dusty ceiling headlamp that my husband kept being hit by when within the vicinity of the sofa. Whilst the photos reflect the facilities they do not reflect the ambiance of what felt like a dark and oppressive room. The appliances in the kitchenette are dated and rusty and appear not to be working efficiently as per the usage instructions for the fridge/freezer. Be prepared for little sleep if the weather turns windy as the double glazing is poor and you will hear the howling through the night and day. The condo is in need of a refurbishment and a deep clean. We have stayed in other self catering properties on Oahu and they are leagues ahead for the same pricing that include parking.
On a positive the room has great views of the ocean where you will see whales during the winter season. I would recommend that you take/hire binoculars to whale watch, it is addictive!

r handle was barely working and then stopped working mid stay (you fixed this when I brought it to your attention thank you). The shower head could probably be replaced. The spray from the shower ends up outside of the shower onto the bathroom floor and the wood trim on the walls. The flooring directly in front of the toilet has a large gap in it. The curtain rod connection in the middle is not properly secured. Garbage from who knows where is right outside the sliding doors and seems to act like a collection point (we thought maybe someone from the “resort” cleans that area not sure), at night we can hear all the trash moving around in the area of the lanai that is attached to this unit. There is visible food splatter on the side of the fridge. The kitchen seems well stocked with the exception on a spatula

Our second visit to Maui and the Royal Kahana. Twice within a year. Two different units. We had a great time as we did earlier this year. Property was very well kept and clean. Workers here were very helpful and pleasant. Pool and grills were always spotless. Location cannot be beat. Close to everything. Already planning our next visit.

This condo had it all! So nice upon our arrival to have cold bottles of water in the fridge and a box of chocolates. View from condo was spectacular--saw whales every day. We especially enjoyed that the condo had all the extras--4 beach chairs, binoculars, and a several coolers to choose from.

This place was perfect for our family of 5! It was plenty spacious for my husband and myself and our 17,16 and 15 year old.
We began every morning sitting on the Lanai watching the whales breach in the distance and the sea turtles play below. The condo was stocked with everything we needed - both for the outdoors and inside. Most places where we have stayed before are very stingy on items in the house (ie: paper towels, shampoo, dish soap, laundry detergent, etc. but Mike was very generous with everything left in their place. They had snorkel gear for all sizes, beach chairs, boogie boards. coolers, sand toys, etc. The location was perfect - close to all the good beaches and snorkeling spots, but not in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. Mike was super easy to work with and very accommodating. I definitely recommend this place to anyone and we will definitely be booking again in the future!

The lovation is great! You can see whales jumping off the balcony. An earlier reviewer stated they had AC trouble which I would honestly have to agree with. Even when set to 70 I neber saw it get below 73.5. I will say though that using the fan made the room quite comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the towels and beach chairs were super-convenient. The owners were responsive after hours when we had trouble getting in on the first day. The security on the bottom floor was super-helpful when we needed new room cards because ours expired mid-trip. All in all this is a great property at a great price, and we would definitely visit again if heading back to Maui!

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.

Had a wonderful stay. Condo had all we needed for a family of 4. Able to grill and eat in a few times to save $$. Beautiful views and awesome pool!
December 2023
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.
