Royal Kahana #603 | HOTEL ZONED | Oceanfront Studio on Kahana Bay This leasehold property offers one of the most compelling oceanfront entry points on West Maui. From the sixth floor of the Royal Kahana, Kahana Bay unfolds before you in every shade of blue the Pacific has to offer. Unit 603 sits on the quiet north side of the building, the side where the trade winds arrive clean and the noise of the pool deck fades into the background. Step through the sliding doors onto your 84-square-foot covered lanai and let the island do what it does best. The horizon stretches toward Molokai. During Maui's winter months, humpback whales breach in the channel below. Sea turtles glide through the shallows year-round. This is the view you came to Maui for. Inside, the studio is thoughtfully remodeled and genuinely comfortable. Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances anchor the fully equipped kitchen. The bathroom has been updated with tasteful finishes. Easy-care flooring runs throughout, and the layout is smart and efficient, making the 431 square feet of living space feel open and livable. Central air conditioning, an in-unit washer/dryer, and full furnishings mean this unit is ready for guests from day one. The covered lanai, larger than most at Royal Kahana, is big enough for a table and chairs and positioned perfectly for morning coffee, evening sunsets, and everything in between. Hotel zoning (H-2) is the story here. Royal Kahana is a legally permitted, actively operating vacation rental resort, and that won't change. This is not a gray-area, the foundation is solid, the zoning is clear, and the income potential is there from day one. Royal Kahana itself is one of the most recognized addresses on the West Maui coastline. The 12-story, 236-unit building sits directly on Kahana Bay Beach with a beautifully maintained oceanfront pool deck, shaded lounging areas, five gas BBQ stations, a fitness center, an activities desk, onsite rental management, and underground parking. The monthly maintenance fee covers electricity, cable, internet, water, sewer, trash, and all exterior building and grounds maintenance. This is a resort that owners return to, guests request by name, and the West Maui market consistently rewards. The location is mid-coast magic. Positioned in the heart of Kahana between Kaanapali to the south and Kapalua to the north, you are minutes from championship golf at Kaanapali, Bay Course, and the Plantation Course. Napili Bay, Kapalua Bay, and Fleming Beach are just up the road. Steps from the front door: Captain Jack's, The Beach House Bar and Grill, Miso Phat Sushi, Dollie's Pizza, and Hawaiian Village Coffee. Kahana Gateway shopping center handles the everyday. The ocean handles the rest. Whether you are looking for a personal West Maui retreat, a fully operational income property, or both, Royal Kahana #603 delivers the location, the zoning, and the lifestyle in one package.
