Guest Comments from the In room Guest Book:

It was a pleasure being in your condo. We had a great time. The view from this condo cannot be beat! Jim & Georgia Guzman

Great time, Great food & Unbelievable views. We had an unforgetable time in this absolutely beautiful Condo. The Garcia's

Your renovations are truly 1st class, we all loved the view and ocean sounds. Our boys are 19 and 23 and yet when we mention a trip to Maui everyone listens and wants to come along. We have a Time share a couple of doors down, but the view from your suite is "spectacular". We will definitely stay here again if we can get your suite. Thanks for sharing and thanks for making our dreams come true, spending time as a family, just the 4 of us; what a great setting. The Merritts

We are a family of five and were celebrating our Mother's 50th Birthday. The upgrades in this condo made a big difference and we enjoyed the beauty; inside and out. Hewes & Freschi Family

My daughter and I came for a week getaway & couldn't have made a better choice. Condo 610 is superb in every way. The views are spectacular with Whale watching this time of year. Definitely plan on returning many times if same room is available. Patty & Brittany Conrad

Thank you for letting my wife and I enjoy this room along with my 98 year old Mother. The view was spectacular which was really special to Mom. We even brought food in to eat dinner because we know restaurants would not have a better view. We have been spoiled. Puyallup Family

Just got married here on Friday and this place made it so special. It was better than I even imagined it. The rooms were wonderful. Nancy & Brian

Thank you for decorating this beautiful condo. This place is to die for and we enjoyed this beautiful place tremendously. From what I was told , Unit 610 is a one of a kind place. When we come back we will settle for nothing less than Unit 610. Nick, Claudia, George, & Martha Pittsburgh

What a lovely place you have provided for us to relax and retreat in! A great view to wake up to..Thank you for your attention to detail. This is a beautiful home away from home. We will look forward to coming again. Jack, Caron, Christi, Megan,Clay & Gillian

Your condo revision is beautiful. We've stayed at the Royal Kahana several times and this is the best! We really appreciate your "extras" to make us feel comfortable. We looked forward to coming back each evening. Hope when we come back we can stay in your suite. The Yee Family

Thank you for providing us with that warm and at home feeling, except for the Sunsets of course. We have Sunsets but nothing like here! Staying here made our trip most enjoyable. Shawn, Shannon, Kyle & Travis

The pictures on line were beautiful, but they simply do not do this place justice!! Why would anyone stay in a hotel when you can enjoy all of the amenities of home - and then some. Bode Family

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay here at Royal Kahana. The room is beautiful - simply stunning. We enjoyed having breakfast on our lanai every morning and listening to the waves. We are here for our 7th Anniversary and you certainly made our stay more memorable. As much as we enjoyed the rest of Maui, we were always looking forward to returning to our condo. Everything has just been perfect! The view is the most spectacular - money can't buy! We'll definitely come back. The Ding Family

Absolutely loved these accommodations. Beautiful sunsets, great Whale watching and the moon glistening over the ocean was gorgeous. Pool was warm and inviting and sandy beach is great. Condo is beautiful, well equipped and had everything we needed. The Laws & Ehrlers

Awoke and found my companious on the lanai drinking kona coffee and wathcing the Whales. What a way to start a vacation. Wonderful accommodations ! Awesome...Will definitely retunr to paradise.
Kathy, Doug, Lynn & Darlene

This could be the best week of our life so far! This is simply stunning. Tim, you have done a First Class job. We are already planning our next trip. Carl & Rita Archer

Incredible Oceanfront with Panoramic Ocean Views

Year Purchased: 2005

Why the Owner Chose Kahana

In my profession of Real Estate I had the opportunity of seeing all the West Maui Condominium projects and ultimately when I found the Condominium that had it all I acquired this Oceanfront Unit at Royal Kahana. After experiencing the best location for beach, serenity, the sound of the ocean and 240 degree panoramic views for two years I set out to design the ultimate interior finishes and amenities to capitalize on these natural surroundings. The design from the sand colored travertine floors to the unobstructed Molokai and Lanai Island views beyond the brilliant blue ocean can barely be described in pictures. However there is a Virtual Tour to provide the best idea of what to expect.

The Unique Benefits at this Condo

The views from this Oceanfront Condo is what captures everyone's attention as they walk in the front door but ultimately it is the comforts of a Maui home combined with the natural beauty that makes my guests say simply "Wow". The floor plan which is over 1500 square feet including the wrap around lanai makes you feel the sense of the ocean no matter where they are in the unit. I have my home about 5 minutes from this Condominium and yes even I go there to vacation from time to time. When the unit was extensively renovated a couple of years ago I designed it so that in the future it would become my Oceanfront home. In the meantime it gives me great pleasure to share this space and experience with my guests. This uncrowded beachfront location provides you opportunities to walk the beach at dawn, spend your day on the sand or at the pool and enjoy a magnificent sunset without ever leaving the resort. The units is completely stocked with all amenities that you will need and there are even plush towels and high thread count linens that give you that 5 star experience. The resort is located within walking distance to shops, convenience store, six restaurants and beach activities. As one of my guests commented "When we did go out for the day we couldn't wait to get back to our condo each evening". If you want that relaxing, well deserved vacation then this is the place for you.

Owner's Map of Kahana

I am 17 year resident (kama'aina) of Hawaii. Although I spent a considerable time on all of the Islands in my first two years in the Hospitality Industry I knew that Maui was home. Although, originally from southeast Michigan I left the four seasons of the Midwest with its mixture of the winter wind chill factor and the summers of comparable 90+ temperatures and humidity and headed for Colorado in 1984. After the experience of living predominantly in the mountains of Colorado in Winter Park, Evergreen, and Aspen I moved to Hawaii in 1994. An extensive 20 year career in the Hotel Industry which brought me initially to the Hawaiian Islands concluded 10 years ago when I began my dream job of selling Real Estate in Maui. The combination of these two careers has provided me the background and experience to proide for my guests the accommodations for the most memorable Maui vacation.

As Good As It Gets

Guest: Chris and Mary Ellen (Newport Beach, CA)
Date of Stay: 10/24/11 Review Submitted: 12/05/11

We fell in love with this place. In fact, Mary Ellen says it has set a new standard of excellence for Hawaiian accommodations. I agree. Although the resort is rather average, this unit is first class in every respect and exceeded our expectations. Since we don’t go to the islands for the pool, this condo has it where it counts… the view, the waves, the sunsets, the luxurious and immaculate accommodations… I could go on and on but, if you read the other reviews, you'll see lots more of the same. I’ve recommended this condo to several friends and we have already booked a return stay in September, 2012. As far as we're concerned, this place is as good as it gets.

This was the most amazing condo on Maui. Modern, Clean and the view is like no other. My mother said she had the best birthday celebration ever, she turned 80, she said she has" found heaven". It was hard to leave the view to go anywhere. But the location was perfect for all activities the island has to offer. We will be back for sure! "Mahalo" Tim!

Guest: Charlene (Tulsa, OK)
Date of Stay: 07/19/11 Review Submitted: 07/28/11

My husband and I visited for a week with our three sons ages 27, 17 and 12. The unit was spacious enough to accomodate us all and had everything we needed. Well-equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, beach chairs and towels, snorkeling apparatus, internet, TV, central air, etc. It really felt like home away from home. Best of all, the view from the lanaii .... priceless! Gorgeous, breath-taking sunsets very night. Kahana Beach is very peaceful. Many times you have it all to yourself! We slept with the doors open every night and enjoyed the beautiful sound of waves on the beach and wind in the palms. Very relaxing. The condo is located near shopping and only a few minutes from Ka'anapauli (sp?) beach and Laihina. I am anxiously planning our return trip!

Beautiful!

Guest: Anonymous
Date of Stay: 05/22/11 Review Submitted: 07/08/11

We couldn't have picked a more beautiful condo to stay while in Hawaii celebrating my mom's retirement. The kitchen was well stocked, the furniture was comfortable, and the views are simply fantastic - each sunset was more spectacular than the last. Thanks, Tim!

Owner response:Mahalo Lori, I am glad to hear that the condo made this special occasion that much more memorable. It is so nice to hear from guests that continue to rank this condo as the best they have ever stayed in with no less then 5 stars ever. There are many choices when viewing condos and I hope as others view past guest comments, that they will recognize that this condo is truly exceptional and should be the only place they are considering.

Paradise in itself

Guest: Napagirl (Fair Oaks CA)
Date of Stay: 06/08/11 Review Submitted: 07/01/11

This was my 4th time staying at the Royal Kahana and this is by far the most fabulous unit there. We love the location because it's quiet, yet close enough to all of the Maui attractions. This unit is spectacular, the lanai was our favorite spot offering stunning views and that calming sound of the waves. The condo was spotless and well appointed with just about everything you could possibly need. The kids 7 and 13 enjoyed the beach and the pool - and I loved the fact that they could wander around the property and I was never concerned for their saftey. I highly recommend both the Royal Kahana and this unit for a wonderful family vacation.

Paradise on the 6th Floor

Guest: Tim & Donna (Murrieta, CA)
Date of Stay: 05/14/11 Review Submitted: 05/26/11

Anyone vacillating on renting this condo versus staying in a hotel (or even another condo), please do yourself a favor and choose this condo, you will not be disappointed. The condo is beautifully updated with large living spaces but more magnificent is the unbelievable ocean view that is captured from the wall to wall windows. The wrap around lanai is a vacation spot in itself; we were able to view many sunsets and even a few rainbows. Tim has been a pleasure to work with and very prompt to answer all our questions (and then some). Our stay was very enjoyable but more importantly it will be memorable. Tim, Mahalo nui loa

Wish we were still there....

Guest: Kathy (South Carolina)
Date of Stay: 04/10/11 Review Submitted: 04/25/11

We have been to Maui many times and stayed in various areas on the island but our reason for staying here was the Kahana location. The villa was well appointed and the view was spectacular. The biggest downside was that it was hard leaving the villa to enjoy the various activities we'd planned each day! Sleeping was fantastic with the wonderful ocean breeze and the unit was very roomy for 4 adults. When we visit Kahana next time you can be sure that we will request this villa. Thanks Tim for making our stay superb!!

As Good as it Gets!

Guest: Maui Rookies (St. Albert, Alberta, Canada)
Date of Stay: 03/29/11 Review Submitted: 04/13/11

This was our first trip to Maui. Also bringing our two kids, we wanted a special place to stay to add to the experience. Of course that meant we had to be on the water which is why we booked this unit. This was also our first VRBO experience so admittedly booking on line one is always a bit leary the first time. After trading a few emails, Tim called us to answer our questions which was a nice personal touch. The view on first opening the door was amazing! We immediately dropped our bags and went onto the lanai. Within a minute we spotted a pod of whales! Talk about a good first impression. The property was exactly as presented on this site. Very clean and modern with all the comforts of home (modern appliances, HD TV, internet, PVR etc.). Tim even provided binoculars to watch the whales and also the green sea turtles that came to feed every day right below our lanai. We started our day on the lanai with coffee and also ended each day there as well. We could not get enough of the incredible view. The location is great, right between Kaanapali and Kapula and only a 10 minute drive to Lahaina where there is great shopping and restaurants all along Front Street. The toughest part of each day was deciding what beach to check out, needless to say we thought they were all great. We took a day long snorkeling tour to Molikini Crater and the island of Lanai. The underwater visibility at the crater was amazing (recommend taking motion sickness pill even if you don't think you need it as you are on the water for approx 7 hours with that trip). Also, the Maui Ocean Center is only 20 minutes away and the kids loved that. You have to do a Luau as well. Not sure the VIP price is worth it, but we enjoyed it none the less. We would recommend reading the guest book when you arrive as previous guests provide some helpful advice on activities (including luau's) and restaurants. Mahalo again Tim, you said we would not be disappointed and you were 100% right. Everything was well organized and we did not have to contact him for anything during our stay. We would not hesitate to recommend this condo to our friends and we will definitely try to come back soon. Our only regret is having only stayed 10 nights and not a few more as it was tough to pack up and leave!

Date of Stay: 12/12/10 Review Submitted: 02/22/11

My family and I spent 11 glorious days at the Royal Kahana. Tim was so helpful and we appreciated everything he did for us. Pictures do not do the unit justice! The sweeping, panoramic view is stunning. The condo is perfectly adorned and has all the little special touches you would find at a 5 star resort. Also, everything was provided right down to binoculars and snorkel gear. Even laundry soap! Listening to the waves crash at night was our favorite. It was incredible, as was the whale watching.! We cannot wait to return. Thank you Tim for an outstanding holiday experience! The Hart Family ~ Spokane, Washington ~ December 2010
