Incredible OCEANFRONT condo with a view of Molokai! Royal Kahana 309

Major construction was taking place on this building during our stay. In fact the construction had been going on for several months yet we were not notified ahead of time. The noise at times was unbearable with jackhammering of concrete right outside our entrance door. When confronted the property management company we used claimed they were unaware and blamed it on the owner for not notifying them. They acted like the victim. They did not offer us another location and suggested we find one on our own or accept a refund of $700. We spent over $7000 to stay there! Buyer beware!

PROS: Good location. Nice view. Secure. People at the front desk nice and helpful. Quiet :) Close to stores and parks, some restaurants. Offers beach chairs, enough towels and beach towels, shampoo, conditioner, lotion. Some cleaning supplies. CONS: COCKROACHES, expensive parking, very old and outdated furniture and mattress, very poor quality of kitchen utensils (cooking spoons, etc) getting rusted. No rags to clean the stove. Other places welcome you with a well stocked kitchen with salt and pepper, olive oil, sugar and coffee, but this one, you'll have to buy all or your very expensive necessities for a few days and then throw them away :( The counters are plastic and old. Next time, I will look for a place that does not charge for parking. You definitely, need a car to go around, it is not like you'll be coming in a parachute and drop on top of the building. Thank you.

Beautiful place will come again!

Five star view! Decent air conditioning. Clean but dated. This was within my budget, but the property would benefit with a new sofa and flooring. Spacious and sufficient. Loved visiting Maui.

The property overall was exactly as posted. There is an amazing ocean view that really enhances for the sunset. There is a good beach just up the way about a 2 min walk. The condo itself was easy to “use” with all of the instructions that are left as instructions. The check in and pay to park were exactly as the email said. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions and suggestions. Definitely plan to drive to anywhere and anything you want to do in Maui. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

First of all, Epic Realty was great to work with. They were responsive to any issue we had. The property at the Royal Kahana is a nice property but had an unfortunate incident while we were there. There was a power outage in West Maui that lasted for about 24 hours. After the outage, the property only had one elevator working and no hot water. The issue was getting someone to repair the elevators and hot water. On a positive note, the view from our room was outstanding.

The view every day was amazing. The condo was clean and well maintained.

The view from the balcony is amazing. Open the windows, enjoy the breeze, and listen to the ocean. The resort is laid back. The pool area is well maintained and never crowded. The staff are friendly and helpful. Walk across the street to Dollie's for pizza!

My only complaint was the pillows were horrendous for us. Too big with polyester fill. I recommend buying different thickness and fill choices for people to have a variety. These were 6 identical pillows. We had to sleep with the beach towells everyday. Everything else was great. Thank you.

Unit was as advertised and reflected in previous reviews. It was clean but dated, perfectly functional, and all kitchen appliances worked just fine. The views were AMAZING from the balcony. Yes, the beach is small but from your balcony you feel like you're ON the beach! The pool area was great. The unit was well equipped with kitchen items that met our needs and included a Brita water filter pitcher that was much appreciated as the Maui water is not that great. There is also an industrial water filter in the main lobby available to all guests. Parking was 18.85/day as advertised in the the unit description but it is only charged for overnight parking so if you have visitors during the day they can park for free no problem. We did have an issue with water leaking into the living room and kitchen area (a slow leak that saturated the carpet). We notified the building and property manager right away and they responded quickly. The source of the leak seemed a bit of mystery to the service technicians between leaking from a unit above and/or coming from the AC in the unit. It took the team about a week to finally get it completely stopped and so we had the living room carpet torn up with drying fans running 24/7 for the last two weeks of the stay. Epic Realty did provide us small refund for the inconvenience so that was appreciated. I believe the AC unit is scheduled to be replaced. I would stay in this unit again if the AC unit is replaced with an upgraded unit.

Perfect for 2 people!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very enjoyed our stay! View is amazing as described. Found few cockroaches, but not a big deal for us. Noisy AC even when off.

We were so happy with our stay here. Everything was beautiful and just as expected!

We absolutley loved our stay. The view is amazing! Saw whales and turtles from the balcony and loved the ocean breeze and crashing of the waves! Would definitely come back again!

Wonderful location with proximal beach access. We enjoyed watching the sunsets and whales from the lanai. We hope to visit here again!

This was our first time in Maui. Condo was perfect along with the location. The amenities that were provided were extremely helpful. Check in was easy and staff was super friendly. Condo was very clean, bright and cozy. Parking fee seemed a little high. The condo felt like home. We did purchase a noodle for the pool and added to the condo supplies. We will definitely rent Royal Kahana 309 again. Thank you Thank you so much it was a wonderful vacation

The condo was well equipped and view of the ocean was outstanding. We had no issues with our stay.

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 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

Epic Realty was very difficult to reach. Office hours on answering machine 10-5 m-f but voice message system was 11-5 and office closed weekends. Did not receive check-in instructions till I asked via email/texts at least 2 times. No one answered the office phone when called. Units air conditioner was extremely loud and located in master bedroom. It didn't cool well. Was told could have looked at the next day. We were only staying for 3 days so no sense of urgency Unit was old and well used.

Nice location, food and grocery walking distance. Swimmable beach is a 2 min walk. Place is on the older side but completely functional. Watched turtle’s from the balcony all day everyday.

It was lovely watching rainbows and turtles from the patio. The property has many nice amenities onsite.

Condo was very clean and maintained. The couch really needs to be replaced. You do sink into the couch when sitting on it. Everything else was absolutely awesome.

It’s was ok. The beach has washed away and there are large sandbags in its place but you don’t have to walk far for a decent beach. The people are friendly.

Good facility for the money. Our only complaint was with the property manager. There was VERY LOUD construction work being done right outside our unit for more than one day. When we called to complain we were told that there was a statement on the VRBO site, telling us to expect construction work. Therefore they would not relocate us to another unit. We did not see a statement to that effect and our belief is that although the statement may be on the site now, it wasn't there three months before our trip, which was when we made the booking. Never did the property manager indicate that perhaps it was their failing. We were simply told we were at fault.
