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.

We absolutely loved this property and would recommend it to all. The views from this 9th floor unit was amazing! Sunsets, whales, turtles galore!

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!

Lived our rental, perfect location and slept 7 people easily! Would highly recommend. Only downfall was that you couldn’t set thermostat lower then 76 degrees. Was a bit humid in condo

It was a wonderful stay. Everything was as promised and there were even a few extra perks, binoculars to watch whales, a blender for drinks, even a tool to core a pineapple! Parking was always available and the view from the deck is spectacular. Loved it!

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.

Reviewer Comments:
The place is nice, has beach chairs, cooler for beach outings. The ice maker does not work in the refrigerator so we had to get ice in the basement each day. When we had heavy rain, water came in through the master bedroom window & the living room slider so that had to be cleaned up, however the place is nice & the resident's were friendly. The place is located near world class surfing & snorkeling.

Great location and view! Clean, lots of Tupperware, beds comfortable! Barbecue and facility was the cleanest I have ever seen anywhere ever! Dryer doesn’t work the best and wish facility had a hot tub but other than that it was a great place to stay! Love that you can walk on the beach!

The property is located within walking distance to a few shops, stores and restaurants. While there is no longer a beach here due to erosion we were able to access the beach at the property next door, not a big deal. The balcony was private unlike the bigger resorts. The staff was very friendly and eager to assist us. We would recommend staying here.

The property was exactly as advertised and more. It was close to 3 great places to dine, beaches and the bus line. It was a perfect base of operation for our first trip to Hawaii. We were able to explore the local beaches and enjoy the sunset from room. Pool on site was a great place to unwind at the end of the day.Check in and check out were easy. I would stay again.

We enjoyed the lanai and the view. However, the unit needs a thorough cleaning. Just a few examples, there was heavy dust in several areas (the wall space above the kitchen cabinets, corner in bathroom, outlet/switch plates and so on), food splatters on kitchen wall by stove.

The condo is everything as advertised and then some! The views from the wrap around lanai are absolutely amazing! We have seen many whales breeching not far from the balcony. Absolutely beautiful place, we will be back for sure!

This condo is perfect if you’re looking for a beachfront getaway in a location close to everything Maui has to offer. The view from the deck is amazing with lots of sights including whales and turtles! Highly recommend this beautiful place :)

This prooert is exactly as shown. Its in a great area. Close to everything you need. Close to beautiful beachs in either direction. You will never be driving linger than 10 mins to find a beach. Unit is very quiet. Pool is nice. Can watch the sunset from your room or head down to the edge of the condominium and watch the full view.

We spent a very relaxing week celebrating my mother’s 82nd birthday. The 180 degree view from the balcony (and almost everywhere in the condo) is gorgeous. Saw lots of whale activity and some turtles. Appreciated the binoculars! Also appreciate the beach chairs and towels. Great communication from the property group. Very easy check in. Very comfortable. My only suggestion would be that they provide more cooking basics. Plenty of equipment, but only salt and pepper and coffee. I like to cook on my vacations but don’t like to have to buy even olive oil. But the food trucks were nearby so we definitely didn’t starve! You will need a car here. Not a lot to walk to. Otherwise were very happy with our stay

We rented this oceanfront 2 bdrm condo in Kahana, Maui for 2 couples. The layout was perfect and the views were some of the best we've had in several trips to Maui. The unit truly is oceanfront with a wrap-around deck. The kitchen is a small galley style but fully functional. There is a small dining table and a large common area with lots of seating. The bedrooms worked well for 2 couples (we had the twins arranged as a king in the 2nd bdrm and it was quite comfortable).There was no beach in front of the condo (there were large sandbags to prevent erosion) but there is a nice beach within a couple minutes walk. We visited in January so there was a lot of whale activity to watch and several sea turtles swimming below the balcony. We spent a lot of time in the mornings and evenings enjoying watching the whale and turtle activity from the balcony.The condo complex doesn't have a lot of amenities you might find at a resort but there are restaurants and bars within a close walk. The owners did have a couple boogie boards and 4 beach chairs that we took advantage of. There is also a activities concierge downstairs in the lobby (we booked an awesome snorkeling trip to Molokini with Four Winds). Whalers General Store across the street had most of the essentials at surprisingly reasonable prices. For more variety you can drive to Safeway in north Lahaina or further afield is Walmart and Costco in Kahului near the airport (a good place to stock-up after leaving the airport).

We loved our stay at Royal Kahana 907! Everything was pretty much as stated in the other reviews! Owners were very responsive and easy to work with from start to finish, making up for whatever lacked. If being honest, the cleaning could have been a little better but honestly the condo being so well stocked made up for it- they really thought of everything! We only wish we could have stayed longer!

The property was described very well on the VRBO property page. The kitchen had what we needed to cook. Appliances were in good condition. Living and dining areas were spacious. The bedroom was spacious and had sliding door to balcony. From the balcony we could view Molokia and watch the whales and surfers. The pool area was very nice and had a covered grilling area with 5 nice grills. The staff at Royal Kahana were very pleasant and helpful. The beach accessories included 2 chairs, beach towels, cooler and noodles. There was a washer and dryer in the unit. We enjoyed our stay at Royal Kahana very much. areas were spaciouswas spacious

The best part about this room is that it is very close to the ocean. Sleeping at night listening to the waves might be the greatest thing ever. This morning I ate a papaya while sitting on the balcony watching the sunrise, whales spouting, and a rainbow. MAGICAL

Our Verbo owners have done an outstanding job of decorating their condo with beautiful furniture and art. They achieved that hard-to-find balance of beauty and comfort. The condo is gorgeous, yet comfortable and homey feeling. We stayed in that complex 15 years ago, and unfortunately, though the condo is beautiful, the building is in need of a major update. Hallways were stained, there were holes in the walls, the pool area 15 years ago had a snack bar/ bar, and the whole property was clean and inviting then. Not so much now. I would highly recommend our Verbo condo and the owner and manager services. Just wish the property owners would do an upgrade. Note: to the Verbo manager— the dryer doesn’t work. Four hours to dry a small load is ridiculous. Also, we only had tepid, not hot water the last two or three days.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this property. The view of the ocean and balcony was perfect for setting up our spotting scope to watch the whales in the Au'au channel. We were walking distance to Maui brewing company and a short drive from Whaler's village and Kaanapali Beach. The bed was super comfortable and we enjoyed the sounds of the ocean through our windows. Everything we needed in our kitchen for our short stay and free coffee in the lobby in the mornings just in case.
