This condo is perfect ! The views are stunning ! The location is in the middle of everything!! This is a high end unit for adults and it was luxurious!

The location was just great. A really nice beach with nice snorkeling at the beach just north of the condo. Being on the first floor, you can jwalk out to this beautiful manicured lawn that leads to the beach. They have a convenient hose to wash the sand off your feet. Lots of shopping right across the street. The place isn't luxurious, but it is comfortable, nice, and everything works and is clean. If you are focused on great location, without worrying about everything being updated, but still nice and clean, this is a great place to stay at when visiting Maui.

This condo was a dream come true! It was so relaxing, has the best view, and had all the amenities we could have asked for and more! It exceeded our expectations and we would 1000% book this condo again! There’s so many food and store options nearby too it was also a very convenient location! Thank you for hosting us, our family appreciated it! Mahalo!

This gem had everything you might need for your stay in Hawaii. It was exactly as described. Every day, we would have coffee on the lanai and then walk to the beach which was just steps away. We loved our stay here. Thanks so much.

The best thing is the location and view. Unit is in need of some updating for sure. A little deficient in kitchen utensils. We cleaned the floors twice due to feet getting so dirty from the sand - should require shoe removal, There should be instructions for operating the a/c and tv system like we've seen at other properties.

This condo has everything you could possibly need for the perfect Maui vacation. It's beautiful and comfortable and the ocean/ beach views are gorgeous. The host is very attentive and responsive and has equipped the condo with everything you will need to feel at home and have a relaxing Maui vacation. The location is perfect for an easy walk down to the beach to swim and snorkel with the sea turtles and for sitting on the lanai and enjoying the sunset and watching the sea turtles as they swim by. There are also great shops and restaurants across the street. The only downside is that our 1 week of vacation flew by too quickly and we had to go home. We can't wait to come back and (hopefully) stay longer!

We rented this condo in early April 2024 and were so impressed. The condo is extremely clean and organized, with everything you could think of. It was out first time in Maui, and the views were incredible! We loved hanging out on the balcony, watching the whale spouts and the sea turtles in the rocks below. It is right next to a beautiful beach, where we spent hours swimming and snorkeling with the turtles. We will absolutely stay in this condo again when we come back to Maui!

This property is in an ideal location with fantastic views of the ocean and beaches right from the lanai. Everything you need is within walking distance. The unit is comfortable and homey- it’s our second stay in the same unit and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful experience in Maui!

Loved that we could walk to the Kam beaches. Enjoyed a morning snorkel with turtles there almost every day. Appreciated the beach chairs and gear, including snorkel sets for everyone. We loved watching the sunset on the deck each night.

Great property with an amazing view and perfect location. Condo was perfectly thought out and great place for anyone to enjoy their vacation. Skye was easy to communicate with, quick to respond, on the couple questions that we had during our stay. We would definitely stay there again.

This place was ideal for our family of 4 who desired a quiet beach vacation. Beach and pool were a short walk from the unit and we loved that chairs, umbrellas, and toys were provided. The view was spectacular and whale and turtle watching from the lanai was an extra bonus for happy hour. We enjoyed meeting other guests at the rooftop grills/patio too. We hope to be back someday!

We've been lucky to stay in Maui many times with our kids, and this place was by far the best! I cannot say enough how great this location is. The ocean view really could not be any better, and while it would be good from any unit in this building I think this would have to be the best one. Sunsets from the lanai are a real treat, or from the rooftop patio where there are 4 Weber bbq's and lots of seating. The beach is super close with Kamaole I / Charlie Young just steps away, and there are tons of great places to eat just across the street or a short walk away. And of all the places we've stayed in Maui, Kihei is a really convenient launch point to reach other places on the island like heading up-country, travelling to Hana, visiting the shops in Wailea or going to the beaches in Kaanapali. The unit itself was also very clean, the amenities in the kitchen were well stocked, and it was such a treat to hear the ocean from the master bedroom every night. I miss that so much. Paul has a very special place here, that we hope to stay at again in the future. He was terrific to deal with, and made things very easy for us. Would highly recommend this place.

This condo is amazing. The location is very walkable to beaches, food, and shopping. You have everything you need here for a relaxing time at the beach. The whole rental/check in/check out process couldn’t be easier. We would love to come here again!

We just got home from a great stay in Kihei. Missing the sounds of the ocean already! This property is located close to a lot of restaurants and stores as well as conveniently located between two public beaches. I spent a long time looking for a great location where we could walk to the beach and stores and was pleased with the final choice at the Royal Mauian, which is where this property is located. Pros: - Close to shops and beaches - 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is awesome - Patio/balcony is great and overlooks beach - On the top (6th) floor so you can see for miles - Rooftop access is close and awesome Cons: - Oven wasn't working (stovetop did) and the dryer was tough to operate. Both were being replaced after our stay, sometimes these things happen and the property manager was very responsive and helpful, so it's kind of a pro/con because communication was great. - The building/association had a ton of rules that were sometimes super silly, like no balls, music or games like Marco Polo in the pool, which seemed kind of hilarious to me. We have a teen, so no big deal for us but I can imagine if you had younger kids in the pool it would be a downer. The list of rules got a little comical like that at some points. I think there are a lot of older retired residents living there and they aren't fans of younger kids or renters. Didn't have a problem or anything, you could just tell from the signs and rules.

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 honestly can’t say enough good things about this condo. The place is exactly as described, very clean, and has everything you will need. We enjoyed falling asleep to the ocean waves every night. In fact, I’ve never slept better. It’s walking distance to many restaurants as well as coffee shops. We are already looking forward to planning another trip and staying there again.

Property management was very responsive to small shower issue. Great location for beach access, dining & shopping
Susan G.
March 2024

Positives: very clean and well-kept. Amazing location. Snorkeling was great just off the hotel & Kam 1 beach. The inside was clean, well-decorated (love the bathroom tiles), and roomy. The property managers were quick and easy to reach via text. Definitely one of the best Kihei places we've stayed. Negatives: noisy tourists every night at 2am. Windows and sliding door are cumbersome and need replacing. Noisy A/C. No hot tub and it was a pretty windy location. Kitchen is tight with little room.

The location of this condo is perfect. It is with a short walking distance to beaches, convenience stores, liquor stores and restaurants. The grounds are very well maintained with a perfect ocean view.

This condo exceeded all our expectations. The photos don't do it justice! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the unit is very well equipped with anything you might need during your stay. Communication and checkin was super simple and easy. The view off the lanai was stunning - we saw loads of whales, turtles, and spectacular sunsets. The rooftop access was also very nice to get 360 views of the ocean and Haleakala. Blackout shades and AC were awesome, though we just opened the windows and let the crossbreeze cool us down. Falling asleep to the sounds of waves below was wonderful each night. We also really appreciated access to boogie boards, chairs, beach toys, towels, umbrellas, and even coolers! Turn either direction, and you'll hit an amazing beach. Directly across the street are wonderful restaurants, bakeries, and shave ice options. Awesome stay!!

This is the third year my Mom and I have spent a week at the Royal Mauain during winter. The location of the property is perfection...right on the water, easy access to both Kamaole 1 and 2, and whale and honu watching from the lanai. This unit is very well decorated, and the kitchen nicely stocked with all the gadgets you may need. The guest bedroom left a bit to be desired, and I opted to sleep most nights on the couch (thankfully I am on smaller side, couch does not open into a bed). Strange noise (pipes?) in guest bedroom every couple or minutes was so distracting. Neither closet has much space for guest's clothing, and guest closet doors are lying on carpet; not easy at all to open/closed door. It would be great to relocate huge vacuum out of that space. Dresser upon arrival had not been cleaned...lots of finger/handprints on glass. We will be back to RM for sure, not sure if we will return to this unit.

We notified Barbara day after arrival of problems with opening front door, unable to use TV and master toilet running. She sent three different residents to try showing us how TV operates - none could make the set fully operational. No one ever came to fix these problems and we had no TV during stay until relatives came over and made it work by making separate moves on two remotes. The unit was in good condition and clean. We left with sheets clean and dry and towels in washer.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Can't wait to go back! Condo 610 was the perfect location in Kihei, safe and quiet area and walk across street to shopping and grocery. Unit had beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and full kitchen. Complex is steps to the beach, great lawn and pool, and the roof top with grilling areas was perfect for a night in. The best was waking up in the morning to have a coffee on lanai to whale watch and then end the day with the sunset in front of you.

Unit 204 at the Royal Mauian is in a great location with a wonderful view of the park below, Kamaole I Beach and the ocean. Unfortunately, we had cleanliness issues upon arrival. The door was unlocked and ajar when we arrived which was unsettling; not sure if that was intentional. Within a few minutes of walking in, the bottoms of our white socks were black with dirt. We spent several hours wiping everything down with sanitizing wipes and searched for something to clean the floor with; all we could find was a floor Swiffer (with no dry cloths supplied) and a few brooms, all of which were filthy. There was no wet mop or bucket to be found. We called and requested for a bucket and mop to be dropped off at the unit so that we could clean the floors ourselves during our stay; they later followed up via email and said this was not possible. Two cleaners came by shortly after and they didn’t have a mop either; they brought several rags, soaked them, wrung them out by hand in each room to soak the floors, then used the rags on the end of a Swiffer to dry the floors. It was an interesting method that got the job done, but somewhat odd and concerning to see they didn’t have a mop either. We hoped to cook more in the unit, but the pots and lids were covered in greasy film. The freezer desperately needed to be defrosted; it was unusable as it was completely frozen over and the ice in the icemaker was frozen into one giant, solid block. The cutlery rack in the dishwasher was very dirty.

Can't add much to the prior reviews as we agree with all the positive comments. Our party was 6 adults and had plenty of room. Great views, central location, plenty of turtles and saw some breaching whales off shore. One thing to add was everything in the condo was first rate including beach equipment and even iron and ironing board which tells you owners want to (and did) provide a quality experience.
