🌊 BEACH INFORMATION

The beach fronting Royal Kahana experiences seasonal ocean current changes that affect its size and accessibility. During fall and winter, sand may temporarily wash away but typically returns in spring and summer. Our HOA, the County of Maui, and the State of Hawaiʻi continue working to restore Kahana Bay. If beach access is limited, a public beach access is within a 5-minute walk.

(Photos from 1/16/23 show usable beach, but this is not guaranteed year-round.)

🐓🦎 PEST CONTROL AND ROOSTERS

Due to Maui’s rural location, you may experience the occasional rooster or harmless gecko.

Geckos are friendly, eat insects, and are considered good luck in Hawaiʻi — please don’t harm them. The HOA performs regular pest control, but insects and lizards are part of island life. Our units are meticulously cleaned and inspected. Contact us if you notice excessive activity — we’ll coordinate with the HOA.

☀️ HAWAIʻI CLIMATE

Hawaiʻi’s tropical environment allows insects, rodents, and lizards to thrive.

Any encounters, inside or outside, do not constitute a refund or rental adjustment.

🔕 DISTURBANCE NOTICE

We make no guarantee that neighboring properties will be free from disturbances such as construction, traffic, or other guests. These occurrences do not entitle guests to refunds or adjustments. Please read all notices prior to booking.

Great vacation spot!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Royal Kahana. The view from the lanai was spectacular. We enjoyed hearing the waves all day long whenever we were home. The home was furnished well. We appreciated having a kitchen in the studio but compared to other rentals we've had, it was a bit hard to actually prepare a meal since counter space is limited. We ended up eating out a lot more and eating left overs at home. The location is great but parking can be tough if coming home late at night. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Royal Kahana and can't wait to return to Maui again.

This property has a great view. We saw whales & turtles every single day from our balcony. Clear ocean view. The house was stocked with everything we need and the bed was so comfortable. I highly recommend and will go back again.

beautiful, amazing, stunning, never been done before

We had such great stay! The room was the perfect size for the two of us and the view from to balcony was just like the pictures! We were very grateful for the washer and dryer in unit as well. Great location with lots of beaches only minutes away! Pool was also very nice, never too crowded and very relaxing. Watched the sunset on the beach each night :) Thank you so much to Shelly and Dan for sharing your place with us. We are already talking about coming back! Much Mahalo, Jess and Josh

Excellent place to stay on vacation!

First of all I want to acknowledge what a great hosts Shelly and Dan are. Their communication was very clear and warm, and they were even able to accommodate us with an early check in time!. The unit was clean and awesome, an absolute joy to stay in for our vacation. The balcony has a beautiful view and the location was so convenient with gorgeous beaches just a few minutes drive or walk away.

The view was amazing!

The view to the condo was amazing! We took many treasured and memorable pictures. We love that the condo is within close proximity to many of the local shops and restaurants. The condo was clean and seemed to be well maintained. However, an exterminator needs to spray for bugs all over, especially around the bathroom sink and shower. The condo also needs to be updated to the modern century. Popcorn ceilings in some parts of the condo went out in the 70’s. The iron does not work and the ironing board cover needs replacing. Overall, we would rate the condo a #7, with 10 being the highest.

Although in Lahaina, far away from main area

Although it was never too warm, it was an adjustment sleeping without the AC. With the bathroom windows open to get a cross breeze, the door slamming from the other units was extremely loud, I could hear the neighbors talking, taking a shower and watching TV. I found some of the kitchen supplies to be lacking. There was not a single wine glass, and there were only 2 forks - one full size and a salad fork. There was no frying pan - only a couple of sauce pans. The decor is no longer bright and beachy and featured in the photo. If you came in with a car later in the evening, parking could be hard to find. Glad my stay was only 4 nights.

Royal Kahana

The owners were extremely communicative. The AC was broken during our stay because of a storm the prior week but they informed us immediately and were prepared to refund our money if we needed to back out. We decided to stay anyways. The apartment building was on the older side but it was clean and besides the AC and ceiling fan everything was working fine. Thankfully there was a newer stand up fan by the tv that worked great and the balcony let in a nice breeze. The fridge was nice to have as well. The VRBO description was accurate. For the price and location it was a great deal.
