My condo is a no smoking, no vaping, no pets, no babies, 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 body 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 provided. Bring your own beach towels. You will fine beach chairs an ice cooler and more.

Every morning when I'm at my condo I go for a walk on the beach. Take your cup of coffee down to the pool yard next to the ocean and step down on to the beach or walk across the resort next door and use there beach access and go for a long walk on the Kahana Bay Beach. 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.

Across the street in the Kahana Gateway Shopping Center is Hawaiian Village Coffee, McDonald’s, Snorkel Bob's Rentals, Whalers General Store, First Hawaiian Bank and ATM, Smile Nail Salon and Massage. There are more restaurants and bars in the area you can walk to, China Boat, Dollie's Pub & Cafe, Miso Phat Sushi, Captain Jack's Island Grill.

The place to stay on Maui

This is your home-away-from-home on Maui! Great views of the water and right on a beach (when the tide is low enough). This condo has everything you need, from a fully stocked kitchen and bathroom to beach equipment. Beware there is a nightly parking fee at the complex (which is still lower than any of the resorts nearby) and there aren't many restaurants nearby (at least the McDonald's is pretty good). Mike was a great host with wonderful communication throughout the entire process. He provided everything we needed to know before our trip and I didn't need to reach out at all while we were there. We will definitely look to stay again if/when we return to Maui!

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.

Aloha and thank you for visiting our condo listing. I'm Mike I live in California. I like to get away from it all from time to time and Maui is where I go. I've owned unit 1204 at the Royal Kahana Resort since 2006. 1204 is the best studio condo compared to all the other studios based on it's location in the building and the view from the unit. If you've stayed in one of the other studios at the Royal Kahana it's time to stay in the best and 1204 is it. I welcome you to stay in my Maui home and relax in our little piece of paradise.

Why they chose this property
