Note: Parking is $18/ night. Payment will be collected upon checking in. Note: There is constructions in the building sometimes between 9-5 pm. Enjoy my newly renovated penthouse studio, located at the Royal Kahana, just 15 mins outside of the bustling Lahaina. The view from the lanai is like no other, on the top floor, with an expansive ocean view . Centrally located between Lahaina, Kaanapali, Napili and Kapalua, this is one of the hidden gems on the west side of Maui. This is my home away from home and I want you to feel like it's yours too. **OCEAN ACCESS** The water is accessible within steps of the pool area during Summer and into Fall. This building is about as oceanfront as it gets! The newest buildings and hotels are no longer allowed to build this close to the water. This means when you open your window, you hear the ocean. It also means that we have had to line the strand with sandbags to help deal with the seasonal erosion. Due to the seasonal erosion direct beach access is closed off from the swimming pool most often during November through May. During these times the strand can still be easily accessed from the adjacent properties North and South of the condo (Hololani, Valley Isle and Sands of Kahana). **LOCATION** The condo is located off Lower Honoapiilani Rd in Lahaina Hawaii (Napili-Honokowai on the map which is a northern part of Lahaina) about 15 mins North of downtown. There's a beautiful oceanfront heated swimming pool as well as a nice grassy area just above the strand with lounge chairs to lay out and soak in the sun. I say oceanfront not beachfront because the sand comes back in the summer but there is not enough to lay a beach towel on. However, a few minutes walk down the strand there is enough sand for a beach chair or towel and there are several FANTASTIC beaches easily accessible under a 10-minute drive such as Kaanapali, Napili, and Kapalua. **INSIDE THE CONDO** Smoke-free environment. There's a super comfy king-size bed, ultra-plush pillows, and the room comes equipped with all the essentials for a relaxing island vacation. Very fast Wifi, a large 55" Roku/Netflix/Amazon ready TV (just sign in to your account), cable TV, a new oven, microwave, fridge and freezer, plates, utensils, coffee maker, blender, soaps, towels, games, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, beach chairs/towels, etc. You'll also have access to your own washer and dryer in the unit! **BUILDING AMENITIES** Lots of free parking (including motorcycle parking), wheelchair accessible, fast elevators, a large heated oceanfront pool with new loungers and 5 adjacent well maintained BBQs, a nicely equipped gym, free luggage carts, cheap weekly snorkel gear rentals on-site and much more. If you're bringing your surfboards, the boards are not allowed in the unit (this is the building's rule, not mine) however you can easily have it locked safely in the basement storage, just ask the front desk or security. **AIR CONDITIONING** The ocean breeze is fantastic, but my condo does have a brand new central air conditioning unit. This is especially useful for guests that are used to colder climates and want the room a little cooler. **CHECK-IN/OUT** ELECTRONIC KEYCARD ENTRY TO CONDO There is a lockbox with electronic keycards for unlocking the door. This makes for hassle-free self-check-in/out. I normally send the code to the box one week before arrival. No need to worry about having to meet someone to pick up/ drop off keys! Just stop by the front desk upon arrival for a free parking pass then head up to your room. You may check-out anytime before 11 am. Please wash any dishes and take your trash to the trash chute down the hall (across from unit 1209). Please Kindly start a washing load with all the towels you may have used. If possible, please message me when checking out . That's it! **KIDS** There is a 2 guest maximum. My condo has been decorated with adults in mind, there is a glass table and some heavier/fragile decorations that could be unsafe for small children. There are no child locks on the cabinets. This is also an oceanfront property with no lifeguard. Still not sure about your travel dates? Add my condo to your WISHLIST, or message me for pre-approval to get your travel plans moving. Always available through Airbnb App, and or text. If you prefer to call me, I am always available as well. I am always available except when I am sleeping. Kahana is less crowded than Kaanapali and Lahaina town. Although it shares the same zip code as Lahaina, but it's actually 15 minutes north of Lahaina Town., but just minutes away from the world famous Napili Bay, DT Fleming, and Slaughterhouse beach! There's public transit right in front of the building, but it's much easier to have a rental car. Royal Kahana is considering a Beach front property . However, beaches may not be accessible during some months. This is mother nature and there's nothing I can do about it. The beach is usually huge in the summer times. Thanks!
