What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Royal Mauian consistently wins guests over for its unbeatable oceanfront setting in South Kihei. The building sits right between Kamaole I and II, so you can stroll to sandy, swimmable beaches in minutes, snorkel a reef teeming with turtles directly out front, and watch whales in season from your lanai. Travelers love the walkability to coffee, groceries, rentals, and restaurants across the street, and the peaceful, well‑kept grounds with a small oceanfront pool. The rooftop terrace with grills is a standout for sunset dinners and 360-degree views.

Condos are individually owned, and many are newly remodeled, sparkling clean, and very well stocked with full kitchens and beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards, even snorkel sets). Hosts and managers are frequently praised as responsive and helpful. Some units have air conditioning (often split systems in bedrooms or throughout), while many rely on ceiling fans and trade winds; most guests sleep comfortably with breezes, though AC can be appreciated in hotter months. Parking is easy, Wi‑Fi solid, and the location makes a great base for exploring Maui.

A few themes to set expectations: quality varies by unit—some older condos can feel dated or have maintenance/cleanliness hiccups, and occasional tropical pests do pop up in Hawaii, though issues are generally addressed quickly. Street‑side units lack ocean views and can have more road noise; oceanfront units are prized for the sound of the waves. The pool is smaller (often cool) and there’s no hot tub, and community rules keep the lawn and pool quiet (limited toys/floaties), which many appreciate but can feel restrictive for very active kids. In AC‑equipped condos, the lanai can warm up when condensers are running. Overall, book a renovated, ocean‑view unit with AC if those details matter most, and you’ll likely have a relaxed, beachfront stay with spectacular sunsets and daily turtle sightings.

Host was very responsive. Local rep (Nance) was awesome! The condo is very nice. Excellent location with great eating close and within 1.2 miles. Recommend Life’s A Beach for a good, local bar.

We had a pleasant stay overall and really appreciated the great location in Kihei, which made exploring Maui easy and convenient. The condo was clean, check-in was simple, and the owner was courteous and responsive throughout our stay. We also appreciated the starter supplies, including coffee, basic toiletries, and enough trash bags to get us through our visit — a thoughtful and helpful touch.While the location is very convenient, guests should note that there is notable noise coming from the public beach and the road. We found it to be less disturbing when we were inside with the windows shut.There are a few areas where the condo could benefit from some updates. The towels and linens could be refreshed. While everything we needed was available, guests who are particular about linens or pillows may want to bring their own. We also found the beds to be on the very soft, which may come down to personal preference.We did notice one insect on our first day, which we understand can occasionally happen in a tropical environment. We did not see any others during the remainder of our stay and don’t feel it reflects the overall cleanliness of the condo.With some minor updates, this condo could be an even better option, especially given its strong location, cleanliness, and attentive ownership.

Fantastic communication with the host! Lucy is available to answer any questions. The cleaning crew does a wonderful job and keeps it well stocked. The condo had everything we needed including beach chairs, coolers, beach toys, as well as some food left in the fridge/freezer and a plethora of fans (since no A/C). The rooftop grill area should be taken advantage of. It’s a very large space and well lit. We are very familiar with Kīhei and this location is perfect. You truly sleep to the sounds of the waves. But our favorite thing about the condo was the lanai. Anytime we were in the condo, that’s where we spent the majority of our time:)

Everything was perfect. Anything you could possibly need for a day at the beach was included with the property. Standing on the lanai we saw sea turtles, dolphins and whales breaching. 2 perfect beaches are a leisurely 2 minute walk. Awesome snorkeling is stone's throw away. The whole area is really amazing. If we didn't want to enjoy some of the other adventures on the island we would have been totally fine without a rental car for the week; groceries, shopping, restaurants, beach rentals...all within a 5 minute walk across the road. We have traveled a bunch in the continental US, caribbean, Europe, and this is our favorite family vacation we've ever had. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. Maui has a little something for everyone!

What an amazing view to wake up to! Can’t beat the location. Has everything you need across the street and even more just a short walk away. Nice quiet beach on either side of the building. We did see turtles and whales jumping right from the lanai! We paid top dollar due to the time of year so we had high expectations of the place being a little nicer inside. If I had anything negative to say it would be that the place is a little tired and is in need of updates. The kitchen I would say had everything I needed but again all the cups and dishes and pots could use an upgrade. Time for new beds and linens/towels. But what an amazing view and great building. We didn’t use the rooftop area but it is a great spot. We missed not having AC but it wasn’t an issue once we got settled and got the windows opened which allowed for some air flow. I would stay here again, truly amazing view and a quiet building. I noticed on the last day that the house rules required us to contact the cleaner the day before we left to set up a cleaning for our departure the following day. I missed that detail and therefore did not do it. Unsure why that would be my job to set up cleaning. Not sure if that ended up a problem or not. Regardless, this is a a great spot and an awesome way to enjoy Maui.

The location is just top-notch. The view is just beautiful.!! if you look carefully, you know what you’re looking for. You’ll be able to see humpback whale spouting in the distance.! Location is close to shops food, etc.If you have children, make sure they’re throwing and playing in the park not on the property with balls.. One recommendation would be to have a four-wheel cart available it would make coming back-and-forth from the store and the beach, etc. much more manageable.Very nice location definitely cool enough with the AC!

The location and layout of the property were as expected, but the stay was negatively impacted by cleanliness and pest (roach) issues. We reported the issue promptly, documented it, and worked with the host and Vrbo during the stay. Some mitigation steps were taken, but the issue was not fully resolved and affected our overall comfort. Future guests may want to confirm pest control and cleaning standards prior to booking.

We had a marvelous time in Maui, and this condo made it perfect. We loved this place. It was so close to the water, we could hear the snorkelers talking amongst each other. We saw whales, dolphins, turtles and amazing sunsets from the lanai. The master bedroom has amazing views too, and at night we left the window open, and listened to the waves. The beach was just a quick walk next door, and a nice grocery store just across the street. The condo had all the amenities. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans, blender, small crockpot, and plates/silverware/cups. We had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place, we hope to be back again.

Katie was a wonderful host. She called a week ahead of time to tell us about the place and go over the rules (super helpful). We were in town for a wedding and the wedding party had 5 rooms at the royal mauian. This unit does not have AC but it was not needed with the ceiling fans and the daily breeze. I highly recommend the location and unit. Plenty of shopping and restaurants within walking distance. They had four beach chairs a couple noodles and an umbrella that were used. The Royal Mauian is not a kid frendly resort but is wonderful for adults.

The location was perfect and such a nice condo. I loved the dimmers on all the light switches. The balcony was so nice to sit on in the morning and the evening. I would totally stay here again. The only thing I would recommend is a new mattress in the 2nd bedroom, as it sags in the middle.

This was a wonderful place to stay. The unit was comfortable & enjoyable for our family. It did not have ac but that ended up being fine with the ocean breeze & fans. The kitchen was equipped and felt easy to find what we needed. The beds were comfortable & bathrooms felt renovated. Had towels & comfortable furniture. We really enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect, we loved the health food store across street & ventures to kapalua & wailea easily.

We loved our stay in Kihei at this perfect and quaint 3 bedroom unit. I was pleasantly surprised the unit offered all the extra “bells and whistles” we appreciated: black out curtains, extra fans, beach toys/chairs/umbrellas, and everything necessary to cook a great meal. Traveling with 2 toddlers, we appreciated the ease and organization on this home. It’s a beautiful unit! The bathrooms are not updated like the rest of the home, but they are functional, well-appointed and clean. The keypad for the front door was perfect for lock & leave. A wonderful 10 days!

We loved our trip! Took our 18-year-olds there for their birthday and we also celebrated Thanksgiving. Second year in a row! Highly recommend this condo. It was very clean and very cozy. It was a great place to call home base. Highly recommend going down to Foodland and getting some amazing steaks and barbecuing on the roof. Listen to some Iz and watch the sunset. We also saw whales!

Our family of 3 (2 adults, 1 infant) loved this rental! Everything was clean and comfortable, and the location could not be beat right between two great beaches. Perfect for a family friendly trip with plenty of restaurants, grocery, coffee shops, food trucks within walking distance. Also a decent snorkel spot, my husband saw a turtle one morning!

We had a wonderful stay at Gretchen’s waterfront condo in Kihei. The location is amazing. It is directly next to Kamaole I which made beach time simple and stress free with our kids. We loved being able to walk straight from the patio to the beach and the pool without crossing any streets. The Natural Grocery, ABC store, and great takeout restaurants across the street made meals and snacks easy.We were initially a little worried about the lack of AC, but with the ceiling fans, extra portable fans, and the windows open to the ocean breeze, the condo stayed very comfortable for us in early December.The condo itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with plenty of towels and kitchen essentials. The sunset views from the deck were gorgeous and became one of our favorite parts of each day. The layout worked perfectly for our family and the parking was close which made loading and unloading the car easy.We already plan to stay here again. It is our new favorite place to stay in Kihei.

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: We rented this condo from Matt and Tonya (PMI) for one entire month! We had the best time ever! The condo was very clean, the bed is super comfortable and we had everything we needed for cooking, bbq'ing and beach going! It is incredible to watch the sunset right from the lanai and to wake up in the morning and have breakfast and coffee overlooking the ocean!(That never gets old!) You can see the turtles swimming in the crystal clear water pretty much every day! It was magical! We also loved the walkability of this condo...great restaurants, health food store, cafes and of course the two greatest beaches!PMI Property Management Company is simply the best. They are so responsive when you have any questions or requests. I highly recommend using them for any of their properties as they have high standards and are very transparent in telling you what to expect with each property. I highly recommend this property and PMI Management for your stay on Maui!

We appreciated:- All the household extras: toilet paper, nightlights. etc. - Well-appointed kitchen. It was a kitchen of a home vs rental.- Loved spending time on the lanai. Comfortable padded barstool height chairs and amazing sunset views. Perfect for a short woman to see over the railing with an uninterrupted view and perfect leg height for my tall husband. Loved spending the afternoons watching the turtles. Didn't see any whales; will have to bring my binoculars next time!- Prompt condo support. - Close to a clean beach.

The condo is the best location in Kihei in my personal opinion. Right between the two best beaches and a pool that is situated ocean front for great views. Amenities across the street easy to access. Beautiful sunsets from the lanai. Lower floor makes everything easy! Great condo with everything u need for an easy going vacation! The rental company is wonderful to deal with and available whenever you need them for questions.

The view is spectacular and is visible from the master as well as the living room. Easy walking access to more than one beach is just what we wanted. We really enjoyed the spacious lanai. We also loved being able to walk to shops and restaurants. We were able to staying cool enough with the fans in late November, but wouldn't trust it in the summer. The condo is well equipped for cooking. Be aware that the bedspreads and couch are white and beige and the rules about keeping them clean caused anxiety. We knew there would be noise from the street but were disappointed by multiple cars blaring booming music several times a day. General noise from the park wasn't an issue except for the park resident right outside the windows that ranted loudly a few times a day for most of our ten days.

Very clean and well stocked condo. We loved the location and easy access to the beach. We had difficulties with the a/c on the first night and they had it serviced the next day and it worked perfectly after. The WiFi was available, but we had trouble connecting. I didn’t contact the agency about it because I took it as a sign from the universe to take a break from work :) But if you need WiFi, keep that in mind. But since the agency was so responsive to other issues, I feel confident they would be able to help.I was impressed with the kitchen equipment, especially the pots and pans. They were in much better condition than I expect in rentals. I would rent here again.

Everything about this place was great. The views, the decorations, and the amenities. The hosts were great, accommodating, and responsive. The only complaint we have is the small water heater located under the sink. It was small and not hot enough for 3 adults, two with long thick hair. If you know anything about girls with long thick hair, it takes a while to wash, condition, and rinse. We had to separate our time in between showers which became inconvenient after a day of snorkeling and trying to get ready at same time for dinner.

This was our fifth time in Maui and the best one yet because this condo is truly special. The location is unbeatable — everything you need for breakfast or lunch is right across the road — but the real magic is the view. Waking up to the ocean, spending evenings on the lanai watching sunsets and sea turtles… absolutely breathtaking. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was soul-soothing.On top of that, the host was incredibly kind and responsive, which made our stay feel effortless. We will absolutely be back!

Absolutely stunning balcony views, from sunrise to sunset. This is about as close you can get to ocean without being in the ocean. Loved hearing the waves lapping at night.Apartment is equipped with chairs and towels for a great beach day. You can literally walk from door step into the ocean and snorkel with turtles and tropical fish. Be sure to hit the water early for snorkelling or surfing, the trade winds whip up by noon. The building parking lot was ample and easy to find a space each night, very handy. Kitchen was suitably equipped for a short stay. But be sure to check drawers/cupboards for supplies before going out and cooking any large or elaborate meals.Location is fantastic in between Kihei and Wailea. Walking distance to shops and food trucks and The Cove. Very quiet at night.Would happily stay here again!
