Host has a good system for communication and was responsive, along with providing a nice guide to the area. Kahana is far enough north that you probably want a car to get around to the right beaches and restaurants vs. tons of Ubers.
Apartment was as described - lower floor, but nice size 1-bedroom with a full sleeper pullout - plenty of space for us and our 5/3 year olds. Apartment well provisioned with the basics, and finding the beach gear and coolers was a nice surprise.
It's an older building and you can tell, style-wise, but obviously the views were great, great sunset views from the pool/grill area. Unfortunately the beach is almost gone due to erosion, replaced by a big sandbag wall along the whole stretch that includes the Royal Kahana, but great ones are not far.
Overall, a great stay given the price point relative to so much else on Maui.
