About this property

Oceanfront Studio Condo on Kahana Beach, Maui

Aloha friends,

As we all know by now, most of Lahaina was destroyed in the August 2023 wildfires. Tragedy and confusion ensued, and in the aftermath I contacted property managers and old friends on the island to see if I could be of assistance. I was eventually put in touch with representatives of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and they have located a displaced kama'aina that will be staying in my unit through August 2025. Although I don't know what's going to happen after that, I'm leaving my VRBO page open for updates as they come along. You can also contact me on my reservations page to ask any questions. Mahalo in advance for your patience. Maui is still "No Ka Oi".

Kahana Paradise!

This was our second stay in Karla’s condo and we have already booked 2 weeks next year. The unit has amazing views from the lanai and there is nothing better than falling asleep to the sound of the waves. It’s very clean, well-equipped and comfortable. The complex itself is very well-maintained and has a great pool with plenty of chairs and a small workout room. The staff is friendly and helpful.

We showed up after dark and couldn't see anything from our view but then we heard it! The ocean! Slept each night with the window wide open and let the ocean lull us to sleep. Woke up to the perfect view

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. The view from the balcony is exactly as shown, and was wonderful to wake up to. Most mornings we could see whales while having our coffee. The location was very good with easy access to Kapalua, Kaanapali, and Lahaina. Karla provided all the necessary information for a stress free stay. We highly recommend her condo.

Missing it already

This condo was a great base for our Maui adventures. We loved the location- easy to find with an incredible ocean view. Great for watching whales anytime of day! The condo was nicely furnished and had almost everything we needed. Only things we were lacking were a coffee pod maker and a pizza cutter, but we made do. Other than that, we were happy. Would definitely stay again.

Great Views but needs a few updates

This is the perfect little place for a couple. It had what we needed but could definitely update the kitchen, lighting, appliances, hair dryer. I would also suggest to add some beach chairs and boggie board to the property.

Beautiful view and magnificent sunsets!!

We loved this unit at the Royal Kahana! The place was immaculately clean. The view from the balcony was gorgeous as were the nightly sunsets over the neighboring islands. The pool area had plenty of chairs. The waves were great and fun to swim in. The beach is safe. The area near the unit was quiet at night and you could hear the ocean waves lull you to sleep!

Great Kahana condo!

Excellent location, I've stayed at this building before. Quiet area and this condo had everything I needed. Check in process was smooth, the building employees were all very kind and courteous. My favorite part was that spectacular view from the lanai! I was watching the whales during the day and it was magical. Of course I was there during prime whale season. I imagine that during the summer the sunset views are probably ideal. Stay here, you won't regret it!

The view from the lanai is absolutely spectacular!!

The property is just as it is shown in the pictures. It was equipped with everything we needed for our 10 night stay. We never needed to contact the property manager during our stay. The appliances and lighting could use some updating. Really nice having laundry facilities right in our room. The location was perfect. With-in walking distance to groceries and restaurants.

The view, the view, the view need we say more

The unit provided us with what were looking for when we booked. First and foremost was the opportunity to wake up in the morning and be able to have coffee and watch the whales from the lanai. The unit was clean and had all the necessities. The photos in the listing were a true portrayal of the unit. Thank you for sharing it with us, Karla.

Great view but AC did not work properly

The good: The view is excellent The bad: We rented this unit because the listing said they had AC. The AC didn't work properly. We let the property owner know and she told us to call the managment company. We called and they sent someone out. They said the AC needed repair and AC tech. The property owner sent us a message apologizing but said she couldn't get an AC tech within the next 2 weeks. That wasn't acceptable and I let her know. She offered no concessions.

PERFECT SPOT !

We stayed at this unit for 4 days and it was PERFECT for us ! It was just my husband and the unit worked out wonderfully. First off Karla (the owner) was in contact with us making sure our stay and the unit were up to our expectations and I have to say that it most definitely was. The property was very clean, there was a great little snack shack at the pool. All the amenities were very, very nice. As for the unit, there was nothing that I would change. Everything was all updated and remodeled, the kitchen was well stocked with whatever we needed to cook with. The closet was full of beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, etc. If I had one suggestion, it would be that the pool was a tad bit on the warm side but that was okay because the beach is twenty steps from the pool so we just jumped in the ocean !! There is no doubt that next time we are there, we will stay at this unit. Thanks so much Karla for sharing your nice little studio condo with us !

Vintage vacation

If you are wanting to experience a vintage vibe then this is the place for you. We felt like we were in the 80’s / 90’s with the dark decor and styling throughout. On the initial face of it the place looked clean but on closer inspection, the bathroom and kitchen were in need of a deep clean, especially the utensils and multiple touch points with visible grime. The shower unit was a bit dirty and the shower panel doesn’t stop water going all over the bathroom floor. The floor tiling in the main area was uneven and visibly dirty through inadequate cleaning. The lighting was poor especially the dusty ceiling headlamp that my husband kept being hit by when within the vicinity of the sofa. Whilst the photos reflect the facilities they do not reflect the ambiance of what felt like a dark and oppressive room. The appliances in the kitchenette are dated and rusty and appear not to be working efficiently as per the usage instructions for the fridge/freezer. Be prepared for little sleep if the weather turns windy as the double glazing is poor and you will hear the howling through the night and day. The condo is in need of a refurbishment and a deep clean. We have stayed in other self catering properties on Oahu and they are leagues ahead for the same pricing that include parking. On a positive the room has great views of the ocean where you will see whales during the winter season. I would recommend that you take/hire binoculars to whale watch, it is addictive!

About the host

Hosted by Karla

Host profile image
I fell in love with Maui the first time I visited the island - so much so that I stayed for 10 years. I got a job in the visitor industry that allowed me to see paradise up close and personal. I've flown over waterfalls, biked down Haleakala crater, swam off the black sand beach and dove at Molokini. Although I've moved back to my home in Seattle, WA, I fly back to my island home every year to take a deep breath and feel the aloha.

What makes this property unique

When I travel to Maui, my goals are sun and relaxation. I have recently remodeled my unit to create an open, breezy, island style atmosphere and to take total advantage of the ocean view. I can watch whales from my private lanai in the winter and enjoy the colorful sails of the windsurfers in the summer. There's no better place to feel the aloha.
