Royal Mauian

An older, well-kept oceanfront building on the rocks between Kamaole I and II, where guests watch turtles from the lanai, walk a minute to the sand and cross the street for coffee and groceries. It suits couples and families who like it calm; strict pool and lawn rules make it less fun for rowdy kids.

What guests say

1 in 7 reviews mention sea turtles1 in 6 reviews mention sunsets

Guests love

  • Turtles off the rocks. Guests watch green sea turtles feed along the rocky shoreline below the lanais most mornings, and in winter many spot whales offshore too.
  • Two beaches, no road to cross. The building sits between Kamaole I and II, so guests walk from the lawn to sand in a minute or two and snorkel the reef right out front.
  • Rooftop grills at sunset. A shared rooftop deck with gas grills and tables draws guests up for dinner while the sun goes down, on top of the sunsets from west-facing lanais.
  • Errands across the street. Coffee, a natural foods grocery, food trucks and snorkel rentals sit right across South Kihei Road, so many guests rarely moved the car.

Worth knowing

  • AC depends on the unit. Many units rely on trade winds and fans; most guests found that fine in cooler months, but some summer guests were hot, so check the listing.
  • Hot air on the lanai. Where units do have AC, the outdoor condenser often sits on the lanai and blows hot air, so some guests switch it off to sit outside.
  • Quiet rules, not a kids' resort. The association posts noise rules and bans balls on the lawn and toys in the pool; couples like the calm, but some families with active kids felt watched.
  • Street side has no ocean view. Units facing the parking lot and road look at shops, not the water, and a few guests heard traffic, loud car music and park noise from that side.
Choosing a unit: Book an ocean-facing unit if the view matters - inland-side units look at the road and parking lot and pick up more street noise. Ground-floor units open straight onto the lawn, pool and beach path, which families with small kids loved, while upper floors get the widest views.

Everything you see in the other reviews is true. It is easier to say that than restating all the wonderful things that have been said.

We had the best time! Claudia is a fantastic host. She communicated with us all week and gave super helpful suggestions on restaurants. The condo was very clean and full of supplies. The view is stunning. You can walk to everything. I highly recommend staying here. You can have a nice place, but having a host who is communicative and thoughtful makes everything so much easier!!! MAHALO, Claudia!!! We will book with you again!

We had a wonderful time and can't speak highly enough about the property. The pictures don't do it justice with absolute amazing views and gorgeous beaches right in front of us. We enjoyed the close proximity to shopping and restaurants all the while getting to experience that old Hawaii charm of Kihei. All of the communication was prompt and so accommodating, even granting us a later check out due to our flight leaving later in the evening. Our family will definitely be back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 had an 8 day stay. We loved the ability to walk off the lanai to the pool or beach. Restaurants, rental shops and general store were within walking distance. Great spot to sit and watch the sunset. A/C was nice but enjoyed opening windows at night and listen to waves as you fall asleep. Beach gear was a bonus we added some pool noodles to the collection.

The unit itself has two bedrooms, Easily suit a family of four. The balcony itself overlooks the ocean, you can't see the beach to the left. You can sort of see the beach to the right. There are turtles right out front and some reasonable snorkeling right out the front. The beach to the left and the right 1 minute away, the grass and the lawn are fantastic. In my opinion, it is one of the best spots in all Maui. The rooftop terrace is a great plus. They've got fantastic. Well maintained, well cleaned barbecues and a great view up there. Great selection of restaurants that you walk to. In my opinion it was a fantastic location. I would definitely recommend and have no hesitation staying here again.

The view and proximity to the sandy beach was wonderful and the pool was lovely and very close by. The location in Kihei worked out perfectly - we felt like we were only about 20 minutes from just about everywhere we wanted to go. You can walk across the street to great local coffee, sandwich and Mexican food restaurants. We had a wonderful visit and the stay was terrific, with a couple moderate issues - the a/c broke while we were there and we had one night with no a/c. It turned out fine, as ceiling fans are in all the rooms. Also, the company that runs this unit did communicate with us via text and phone, and when asked, offered to switch us to a different condo complex, or provide a discount for the night without a/c. So I considered that very good service, as things happen, and the important part is that they offered us options. We chose to stay with the understanding that the a/c would be fixed the next day, and they indeed fixed it very promptly the next day - great job and thank you! The other issue was that the washer smelled bad enough that I didn't use it. There was black stain on the rubber ring around the opening. They did also send someone out to clean that at the same time as they fixed the a/c, but I didn't feel confident enough to use the washer, as the small and stain remained. We still had a wonderful stay and we simply washed our clothes at the next condo on Kauai. This is a great property - the oceanfront view and beach access is awesome!

The condo was very nicely updated and felt modern, air conditioning worked great and being situated on the end of the building it's on gave more shade (less direct sun exposure, cooler overall) while still providing a great view. The condo owners association freaked us out with all the rules they emailed a couple days before check-in and upon arrival there are signs everywhere about not being noisy - we were worried since we were traveling with young (loud) kids, but the rules didn't seem to be strongly enforced and no one gave the kids a hard time when they played on the grass and in the pool.
