Imagine waking up to the sound of waves, stepping onto your private lanai, and watching the morning light dance across the Pacific while the rest of the world is still asleep. This is not a dream. This is Unit 505 at the Royal Mauian, and it is waiting for you.
Sitting on the fifth floor of one of South Kihei's most beloved oceanfront properties, this modern, beautifully appointed two bedroom retreat is the kind of place that ruins all other vacations in the best possible way. Sweeping ocean views, refined island interiors, and a lanai so good you will reorganize your entire day around it. Once you experience it, you will understand why Maui has a way of calling people back.
The lanai is where the magic begins. Accessed from both the living room and the primary bedroom, it is generously sized and furnished with comfortable outdoor seating, cooled by an outdoor ceiling fan, and positioned perfectly to catch every shade of gold and rose that Maui's legendary sunsets have to offer. Morning coffee here feels like a ceremony. Evening cocktails feel like a celebration. And everything in between feels like exactly where you are supposed to be.
Inside, the open and spacious kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional. Gleaming tile floors, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops set the scene, while a cooking range and oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, blender, coffee maker, and full set of cookware and dishes make preparing meals at home an absolute pleasure. Bar seating for three keeps the energy social and connected, so no one ever has to miss the conversation.
The living room wraps you in comfort with central AC, a flatscreen TV, and a generous L shaped full size sleeper sofa that makes the space feel both luxurious and effortlessly livable. This is the kind of room you sink into after a day at the beach and never want to leave.
The primary bedroom is nothing short of extraordinary. A king bed faces a window that frames panoramic views of the rolling Pacific and Maui's breathtaking sunsets like a living painting. The en suite bathroom takes things even further, with a circular vessel sink, a large glass shower with a detachable shower head and surrounding jets, and updated finishes that feel more luxury spa than vacation rental. You will take longer showers here. That is simply a fact.
The second bedroom is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully appointed with a queen bed, ceiling fan, ample closet space, a large flatscreen TV, and its own beautifully tiled private bathroom. Every guest in your group deserves their own sense of comfort and privacy, and this room delivers exactly that.
Beyond your front door, the Royal Mauian continues to impress. Stroll down to the oceanfront pool and let the sound of the Pacific wash over you. Browse the library on the second floor for your next great read. Then make your way up to the rooftop garden, where BBQ grills, sweeping panoramic views, and the warm glow of a Maui sunset come together in a way that simply has to be experienced to be believed.
Beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler, and an umbrella are all provided in the unit, so you can head straight to the sand with everything you need. With Kamaole I and II just steps away, the only question is which beach calls to you first.
Step outside the complex and you are right in the beating heart of Kihei, with beloved local restaurants, charming cafes, boutique shops, health food stores, snorkel rentals, and a surf school all within easy walking distance. South Maui has a wonderful way of filling your days with beauty and adventure without any effort at all.
To honor the aloha spirit for all guests and residents at the Royal Mauian, we kindly ask that occupancy remain at a maximum of 5 people at all times, including adults, children, infants, and overnight visitors. The property is smoke free, one parking space is included per unit, and exterior cameras are in place throughout the common areas for everyone's comfort and security.

Great location, loved the view!Would have appreciated soap dishes in the bathrooms. And maybe a starter kit for coffee is supplying at least a couple of filters in a little bit of coffee for the first day or two upon arrival would’ve been appreciated.

Used to be from Bend. Currently reside in Arizona. This was the perfect place for us.cozy and comfortable . Beautiful view. Walk and snorkel right outside the place. Shops and restaurants all near by. Kitchen amenities were adequate. We bought additional spices and cooked in a few times. A floor mat by the kitchen sink would be nice as well as cleaning supplies and a kitchen sink wash cloth. The floors could use a good scrubbing especially the base boards and corners. Dryer softener sheets would have been nice , but great to have in unit washer/dryer. No need for a rental car- Uber was great. Love love love the town of Kihei!!! Quaint and unpretentious. We would rent this unit again, for sure.

It was an amazing experience! The view from the place is spectacular! We enjoyed many morning on the lanai. The rooftop was incredible! We would barbecue our dinner up there and watch the sunsets. It really doesn’t get better! The customer service was excellent! I would send a text or email and get a response within minutes. Wow!! I can’t thank you all enough for Your quick responses and help.

We loved this condo! The location was incredible, having a gorgeous beach steps away could not be beat. The view from the master blew us away. Hearing the waves crash against the shore every morning was the best way to wake up. The Hawaiian Moons across the street was awesome for coffees and sandwiches and healthy snacks and there were a ton of food trucks nearby. We ate very well 😜. Don’t miss the farmers market on Saturday mornings...hands down the best tamales we’ve ever had!

Great location with easy access to all Maui attractions. Condo update so pleasant place to stay. Host’s staff very responsive in responding to our questions. Beautiful ocean view and enjoy sunset from condo or beach. Close to upscale shopping and even groceries if you prefer to use the kitchen for some of your meals.

Great location. Easy short walks to pretty much anything you need. Or an easy drive out to explore the island. Great beach right outside the door. And great food in the area.

I have stayed in a few of the units here. It's always just me and one other friend and enjoy the separate bedrooms and bathrooms for space and privacy. This unit is comfortable and fun with everything you could ever want or need. King beds in both rooms and they are both amazingly comfortable. Was surprised there was no dining table or chairs. There are stools and a counter. Overall it is a great unit in the ways that matter! I will be back.

We have stayed and numerous units in this complex over the last 20+ years. The owners have done a great job making use of the space with the upgrades they have done. The furnishings were nice, though we would have appreciated one more comfortable chair in the common area. Wonderful views of the ocean, W Maui mountains and Kam I. Sadly the unit had problems when we arrived. It was not as clean as we would have liked. I actually washed off the kitchen screen in the shower because you could hardly see out of it. Top of frig was covered in dust. There was a bottle cap in the garbage disposal. The washing machine did not work for our first 3 days. The linen situation was scant. There was not a bath mat to step out of the tub on in the guest bath. There were only 2 kitchen towels, so we needed to wash them frequently. One of the beds had a waterproof mattress pad like you would use for those with incontinence problems, which we had never encountered before. The beach umbrellas were broken.
Fortunately, the management company responded immediately to our concerns and were friendly and efficient.

Great location, whales were in abundance this time of year. Small issues with television remotes were handled very promptly(Super Bowl weekend), the kitchen area could use a deep clean.

Condo is comfortable / perfectly located but is in need of a deep cleaning and updates to some of the furniture. We have stayed at multiple Royal Mauian units and found this property to be very nice but not one we would rush to return to unless certain things were addressed.

Wonderful stay, lots of beach toys, towels, beach chairs. Cinnamon roll place, health food grocery, Maui Tacos, and convenient store across the street. Pool was closed most of our stay and the beach was dirty from a recent storm. But it was still a lovely week in paradise.

The view from your lanai is enough to make this property worth every penny (which is much more reasonable than similar listings). Communication with Sunny Maui (property management) was amazing - checked on us often and were very quick to respond when we had a few issues (wifi is very spotty/slow headsup). The only problem here is it could use a deep clean and some updating but again, your price is much less than similar listings and once you see the view you won’t care as much about that!

This clean and nicely appointed condo has priceless views from the balcony, master bedroom and living room. At ground level the lawn, pool and beach are only steps away.
The town of Kihei itself is not upscale like Wailea or Kaanapali. Ultimately we appreciated that laid back atmosphere. There were some nice local restaurants and conveniences within walking distance. We selected Kihei for its central location to all island destinations. It was perfect.
The Atari games machine was a fun touch. The only negative was a unsightly and extremely loud AC unit on the balcony.

I’ve stayed at the Andaz and thought of taking my parents there but this was a third of the price and they loved it. We shared a living room and balcony. The Sunny staff was quick to respond and helped us get the TV working. One night we didn’t have a parking spot because someone must have parked in the lot unauthorized but we parked in the lot across the street with no issues.

This 2 bed, 2 bath is mere steps from a gorgeous beach with plenty to do. Turtles and snorkeling galore, with the occasional whale in the distance. The property management company was awesome to deal with the entire booking and during the stay.
After spending 10 great days there, we would definitely recommend, cant imagine staying anywhere else.

We had an awesome and relaxing time in your beautiful condo. Weather was fabulous, beaches memorable, Local Boys shack for shaved ice and Sansei for sushi are a definite must visit when we return. The views from the lanai and grounds will be lasting memories. Thank you very much. Mahalo!

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home away from home. It truly is a special place. The decor is beautiful, it made me feel like I was home. The views from the lanai are amazing. There was not one thing we would complain about. We were married this week on Makena Surf Beach- what a perfect honeymoon. Thank you!
