My condo is a no smoking, no vaping, no pets, no children, no parties, no bikes or surfboards can be in the condo at any time.

Our condo have the best view from our top floor penthouse condo compared to all the other studios, yes ours is the best. All the other studios on the lower floors do not have the view we do, that includes most of the one bedroom condos in the building. If you're going to rent a studio condo at the Royal Kahana this is the one you want. It has incredible views of the ocean and the island of Molokai and don’t forget the sunsets. In the winter from October 10th to March 10th the sun sets in the south so you can’t see it from our condo, our condo looks to the northwest. At that time you can go down to the pool deck or the yard and watch the sunset from there.

Our condo has Air-Conditioning, free Wi-Fi, washer and dryer in the condo and the resort has recently remodeled the pool area. Our condo has been recently renovated too. All new granite kitchen fully equipped, the refrigerator has an ice maker. Bathroom has a walk in granite shower, bathroom towels and soaps, shampoo and hand lotion.
The interior of the condo is decorated in the Hawaiian style. We have a washer and dryer with laundry soap, Iron and Ironing board. A Firm Cal King bed, bed linens. Two pool towels, bring your own beach towels. Beach chairs, ice cooler and more.

The Royal Kahana is an ocean front resort on the Kahana Bay. Access to the shoreline and the beach in front of the Resort can be limited at times from the sand washing out due to king tides and winter storms. We normally have access to the shoreline and a small beach in spring the summer and in some of the fall months, every year is different. I cannot promise you there will be a beach when you get there so If needed you can access the beach at the other end of the Kahana Bay by using the public access just a short walk down the sidewalk two resorts or by using the resorts next door beach access.

The Royal Kahana's pool is heated and there is lounge chairs around it and lounge chairs on the grass around the front of the resort right next to the shoreline for sunbathing or watching the beautiful sunsets. Also you can use the Exercise Room the Ping-Pong Table, Shuffleboard. We also have five barbecue grills on property for you to use. In the lobby is a concierge desk for you to book your island activities. The Royal Kahana has a in house night watch person in the lobby.

Back to paradise
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!

This condo is a gem. Very clean, nice balcony and view, and the best stocked rental we have ever stayed in. If you’re looking for spacious accommodations, this is not for you. However, if you’re looking for a lovely place to hang your hat while you tour this enchanting island, this is for you. Owner was excellent to work with. A couple of nice places to eat that you can walk to. A handy water dispensing machine in the lobby to fill you personal thermos with cold fresh water. Plus a drive-through McDonald’s nearby where you can pick up your tropical iced tea, only served in the islands, to start your day. 😊

Wonderful stay in Kahana
Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Mike's place in Kahana. The ocean view was incredible and we thought the condo was even nicer in person than the photos. The condo was well stocked with supplies and very clean. The hotel is in a great location, although there is no direct beach access (you have to walk to the next hotel over so not a huge deal). Overall highly recommend staying here.

Good Choice
We stayed here for 6 nights in March 2024. Overall we made a good choice. The location is perfect for west Maui and view from the balcony is excellent. When you book with the owner, you will receive a packet that lays out the property and the rules. It may seem like a lot but once you arrive you will understand how they keep such a clean and orderly condo. The loveseat is new and nicer than the picture. It was great having the washer and dryer in the room and the AC was very quiet and did a good job for the one night we needed it. Every other night we went to sleep with a nice breeze and the sound of the ocean waves. The pool area is good with lots of outdoor seating and fruit stand that was open in the afternoons. We did not use the grills, but they are in good shape. As of March 2024, there are some sandbags along the beach wall due to beach erosion, but there is an oceanside walkway to the smaller beach just south of the resort. We would stay her again if visiting west Maui.

Lovely place to watch whales
Communication with our host was great. The unit was a studio, so it was smaller than what we usually stay in. But it was so well laid out, and there were so many nice details that it worked really well. Watching whales from the lanai was a favorite activity every day. Even if it wasn't whale watching season, just enjoying the beautiful water would be nice.

Great Spot for a relaxing get away.
Very impressed with this condo and how well it was maintained and set up, so many nice little touches including beach chairs, a cooler, basic items for cooking, and binoculars for checking out the view. Great views of the ocean (keep an eye out for turtles that swim by!) and the surrounding area. The pool and lawn area around the building were a great spot to relax in the evening after a day at the beach. Easy walk to the beach and restaurants/shopping.

The apartment itself was very clean, fully equipped and even had an updated guidebook that we referred to often. Excellent communication with Mike before, during, and after the stay. Overall perfect!

EXCEPTIONAL!!!
We stayed for a week in early June and everything was great. The condo smells super clean, is appointed with nice little extras such as sunscreen, cooler, beach chairs, plenty of tissues and other amenities most condos force the guest to purchase. Communication was fast, responsive, and super informative. The staff at the Royal Kahana are all very receptive and friendly and there's fresh coffee and filtered water in the lobby area for daily use. The water machine was a lifesaver as the local water is fairly undrinkable but the filtered water dispenser allowed us to fill gallon jugs in seconds and we stayed well hydrated. The condo is easy to access and we had zero issues. The only negative of the whole stay was the endless groundskeeper work and daily trash trucks; the leaf blowers and back-up alarms start early and it wouldn't have been a huge issue had we not left our door and windows open to listen to the waves each night. I realize it takes an enormous effort to maintain such lovely grounds and properties but each day it went on for at least an hour starting in the morning so just be prepared. Another big plus to this condo location is it's a 2-minute walk to Maui Brewing which has great food and beer!!

Mike's condo was beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully appointed. He includes many conveniences to make your stay more comfortable. He offers plenty of literature prior to your arrival and the check in/out process was very smooth. The location was very easy to find and parking was not a problem at all. Great views from the balcony and sleeping next to the ocean waves was refreshing. I definitley recommend his place.
