We enjoyed the views and the location of the property, however we had to redo the dishes and the floors were grimey. You would expect more for this price range.

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.

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.

Wonderful stay, great host. Can’t say enough about the location and the view. Loved the covered deck- we were there whenever we weren’t out somewhere else! Bedrooms are very private, each with a separate door entrance, which means you can walk from bedroom to bathroom within those closed doors. We will be back!

We had a terrific stay at Claudia's condo! Location is excellent and close to all great beaches. Beautiful sunsets and the rooftop is amazing. Claudia was wonderful and went out of her way to ship an item we left behind. I will definitely stay at this condo for my future visits to Maui. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

The floors were FILTHY. All of the furniture, utensils, linens, need to be updated. For the money we paid, I'm shocked at how outdated everything was. The beds were comfortable but the living room was very uncomfortable, not enough seating.

Location was perfect and walking distance to shops, restaurants, shaved ice, etc! Beach was super close and perfect for swimming, plus lots of turtles along the rocks to enjoy watching. Unit was clean and just right for our family of 4! Appreciated the beach chairs, towels, and umbrella that were provided.

I’ve never used VRBO before so we really had no idea what to expect. Sometimes pictures can be deceiving. The condo that we rented was amazing! The pictures didn’t do it justice. Top floor unit overseeing the ocean- the view was amazing! The condo was well stocked by Claudia, our host. She provided us with basic toiletries, basic kitchen items, beach towels and beach gear (snorkels, cooler, etc.,) The unit was immaculate, comfortable, and up to date. The host was also very responsive. Would highly recommend!

This is a spectacular spot! Wow! The views are amazing. We loved the nearby beach, pool, and neighborhood. The condo was so comfortable for our family. Nice appliances, comfortable beds, and AC for when it’s hot. Thanks so much! We hope to be able to come back in the future.

We’ve stayed in the Royal Mauian a few times. The location is perfect. Close enough to town, but still quiet & the rooftop bbq area is amazing. Kamaole I is a great beach for kids & adults alike. The unit was nice, decently appointed & clean enough. It’s tough to get all the sand, etc when doing a clean. The view & lanai are excellent. Overall the unit was good. We have 3 small kids & found that it’s not the most kid friendly room (glass table, barn doors, etc), but that’s no fault of the unit. I would stay again.
March 2023
We stayed at Claudia’s rental for a full week. When we arrived everything was clean and clearly noted. Not once did we have to reach out for any issues. There were a lot more amenities than we expected, which was great. For example, the umbrella and beach chairs. The chairs had pockets in the back so you could pack a few waters, towels, and necessities. And the umbrella was nice shade on the beach. There were also some noodles and kids life jackets but we didn’t need to use them. The kitchen seemed to be newly remodeled, and all the appliances were great. There was Tupperware, a mixer, blender, all kinds of kitchen utensils, which came in handy. The washer and dryer were a little louder, but we were grateful to have them. We had plenty of shower towels and 4 beach towels. Showers were hot and clean. The master bed was very comfortable. The views from the balcony were great and you don’t get any sun which was relaxing after being on the beach all day. It is on the six floor which is nice if you’re cooking on the rooftop and need to go back for something. The rooftop was very nice. Some of our other family members stayed in the same complex and that was where we cooked dinner and played games about every night. The best part about this location is the beach is right there. I can’t say enough good things about this location and would recommend it to everyone.

It was lovely as always. I get a little irked by the last minute laundry obligations before dash to the airport. Seems wrong at what I see as a rather pricey day rate. Wife was fine with it so I’ll lobby for her to do it next time.

Comfortable condo, love the location of the Royal Mauian. Could stand a little more attention to cleaning surfaces. Washer and dryer could stand to be upgraded.

Condo was very comfortable. But it needs a deep cleaning of windows, screens etc. Pillows needs to be replaced! Stained and flat. Need additional bathroom towels.
Elisabeth B.
November 2022
The short of the long is you can’t beat the location. You are next to several great restaurants and there are two, amazing kid friendly beaches on either side of the building. No need to battle parking, and sea turtles are chilling right below your lanai. Being on the top floor also helped with bugs. The rest of our family rented different condos (3 additional condos total) on the first and second floor, and had problems with cockroaches and flies. We did not. The cons were more just a lot of little things. The biggest complaint was the master bed. It had two huge divots and I know it had been a problem before us because there was a foam mattress topper over it. Half way through our stay we finally said something because we couldn’t sleep it was so bad, and Claudia got us a new, very firm, mattress. The kitchen is tight and really, no more than one person can function in there at a time. They have all the tools you could need in the kitchen, but if you like to cook, the pans and utensils will drive you nuts as nothing is non-stick any more, and most of the plastic spoons and spatulas for cooking are flimsy. Again, right by great restaurants so it’s not like you don’t have options. The beach toys and pool noodles were a huge hit with our family. The floors turned our kids feet black when they walked around barefoot, no matter how much we swept or wiped stuff down. There was some black mold it looked like in the grout of the master shower, but that’s not surprising given the humidity and that the bathroom fans are only on when the light is on. Check in was frustrating. We were told to check in with the front desk to get our codes but we arrived on Saturday, and no one was there until Monday so there was no terrace and no pool access for us. When we did finally register with the front, they told us the property manager was supposed to give us the codes. You have to wash your towels before you leave even though VRBO charges you a cleaning fee, so just FYI leave yourself enough time for that.

This was a nice property. Top floor of building was nice to be on. Roof top was AWESOME. Pool left a lot to be desired—small, difficult to get in and out of gate. Good thing we’re beach people. Location is also AWESOME. Property could do with a new coffee maker and perhaps a newer dryer. Items took a long time to dry which made the check out requirements a little challenging. Overall would recommend.

The Royal Mauian is our favourite place to stay on Maui and this unit did not disappoint.
It’s well furnished and the kitchen has most everything you would need.
The only drawback was the speed of the internet, but if you’re on vacation put your phone away and go swim with the turtles that live out front of the condominium.

We had a great time at this condo! It was clean, well equipped and the views were amazing! We loved being so close to the stores(ABC stores!)and restaurants and a minute walk from beautiful beaches. It was so nice to have chairs, towels , and an umbrella provided for our beach time. The only slight negative is that there definitely is road noise but not noticeable all the time. The property manager was also very responsive. Finally, a big plus was the A/C, a must have in August in Hawaii! It was a great stay!

Very conveniently located near stores and restaurants. ABC store is a 5 minute easy walk. Views are incredible. Bed not so comfortable as it is too soft and mushy. Property needs pest control for kitchen drawers that had baby roaches. Other than those minor suggestions, the unit is wonderful. Would definitely come back.

Conveniently located in between two amazing beaches with beautiful ocean/beach views! The description on website is a fair representation of condo, too. However, this condo needs a bit of TLC. Lots of small things could be improved/fixed/supplied to make stay go more smoothly. When we arrived, the shower was severely clogged, two lights in kitchen were not working, window screens were not well fixed to windows, kitchen was missing grilling tools and had no basic cooking provisions (olive oil, salt/pepper, spices, condiments). However, the host was very responsive and apologetic. She really did her best to right every wrong, so that counts for a lot!

Two couples spent 6 nights at this property. The condo is older, but well maintained and clean. The beds were comfortable. We stayed in January, so didn't use air conditioning. The views from the balcony were beautiful. There is some road noise, but that didn't bother us. The pool was closed for maintenance/repair which was a small drawback. We would stay here again.

Waking up every morning to the view of the beach and ocean can't be beat. Good place to people watch from the Lanai and watch the sunset every night.
Loved the rooftop deck and bbqs
Well equipped kitchen except no tongs.
Could use some updating but overall quite nice.
Screen doors don't work, however virtually no bugs so no problem.

Fantastic views looking up Kamaole Beach I, excellent location in south Kihei, convenient to all of Kihei and Wailea. Great walking area close to lots of restaurants. The unit is a bit small although exactly as advertised and works well for 2-4, balcony is very nicely furnished and spacious. Could stand some updates but did not affect our stay.
Rachel A.
November 2021
This property is great for anyone who wants to be right on the beach, making it convenient to hop in and out of the unit on a beach day. Walking distance to good bars and restaurants. The sump pumps (I think) in the closets can get momentarily noisy in the middle of the night, and the combo washer/dryer unit takes over 4 hours to complete a cycle. But I absolutely would stay here again. Loved it!
Kari O.
October 2021
We would definitely stay here again. The view and location are amazing. There are things that need fixing inside the unit. In the master bathroom, the cold water lever doesn't turn on or off easily. The toilet sprays up on the seat and needs to be wiped off almost every time. The sink should be an easy fix with a new fixture/faucet. I'm sure they will have it fixed soon, so don't let this sway your decision to stay here. The view and location totally make up for any small problems. The grounds are very well kept. They even have a spray hose to spray your feet / self / toys off before heading up. There is no need to deal with sand inside the condo which is a big plus. Even though both the elevators were down when we first arrived, and we had to haul our luggage up without that luxury; however, we realized if was doable and after that, and we refused to use the elevator even after it was repaired until the day we left and that was just to bring our luggage down. Loved our time here.

The view from this property is extraordinary. The location is close to many cafes, shops and convenience stores. I would absolutely stay here again but there are some things to be aware of so you are not surprised:
-It is very close to a busy road. You will hear road noise, however I was able to sleep with the door open until 5:30am.
-One of the screen doors needs to have the rollers replaced.
-The cold water handle in the primary bath is seized and does not turn.
-There were large stains on primary bedroom curtains.
-The sofa bed is super uncomfortable.
-The check-out process is a little excessive for 10am. It is requested (if you have time) to wash and dry all towels and then wash the bed linens, in addition to taking out all the trash. There was no laundry detergent so I went out and bought some, not a huge deal.
All that being said, I slept like a dream on the primary bed and treasured the view from the lanai each day. The kitchen is fairly well stocked and nice appointed.

With a balcony view that overlooks the beach and food right across the street, the condo was central to all the fun! We enjoyed the spacious condo and spent tons of time on the balcony watching the sun set over the ocean. It was the little things of our stay that were provided too—the beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards—that made our vacation even more enjoyable. We had an amazing experience and would love to come again!!!

We stayed as a family of 4 and really enjoyed the space! The views and location were great. The patio seating was nice and we spent most of our time there watching sea turtles and sunsets. The refrigerator was large . The kitchen area for cooking is very tight but the appliances are new and clean. The living room furniture could be replaced with something a whole family could lounge on as the couch really only fit 2 people. Having a washer and dryer was great for all the beach days. There is only one elevator working right now so it did take a while to get up and down from the 6 th floor. But that will be better once the other is updated. The beach chairs, umbrella, ice chest, made our beach days easy! Overall we were happy there for 9 days. There are several restaurants and shops across the street that you can walk to for snack or dinner. Loved our stay at this beautiful condo in Maui !

This location was great! Our view was beautiful. We could watch the sunset from our lanai or while walking Kamaole I beach. Quick and easy access to the beach. Snorkeling right off the beach here was actually decent some days. We loved all the beach gear that was provided in the condo (umbrellas, chairs, etc) Our host was very attentive. We had a couple of questions during our stay and she was very quick to respond. My only complaint was that because it is right along the main road through Kihei, we could occasionally hear people revving their car engines or sirens going by. But not a big deal. I would definitely recommend staying here and we would consider staying here again if we return to Maui.

We enjoyed our stay in this unit as a family of 4. The condo was clean and had a wonderful ocean view from the Lanai. The open concept was very nice and the bedrooms and living space were comfortable. The kitchen is tiny but very functional, it could use some updates to the knives but was overall nicely stocked. We appreciated the breeze from the windows and doors and never needed the air conditioning, although it was nice to know we had it as an option. There is a bit of road noise when the windows and doors are open but it didn't bother us. The kids loved the boogie boards and beach toys, but the biggest plus is the quick walk downstairs to your choice of a pool or 2 beaches. It can't be beaten.

Condo is in a great location in S Kihei. The beach next to the condo unit is beautify and a stones throw away. It is clean and the the waves are usually calm. But there are also times that there are waves for boogie boarding! The beach is busy, but was never too crowded. The grassy area in front of the condo is nice as well. The condo itself needs a some love and attention. It needs a fresh coat of paint and a good deep cleaning. The furniture smells a little musty and the couch is lumpy. The kitchen is VERY narrow and small. They should replace the beach chairs. I loved sleeping with the bedroom door open, you could hear the waves. The deck is a wonderful view and we enjoyed playing cards and watching the surf and beach goers.
Amenities closed by:
Snorkel Bobs
Natural Food Store
Shave Ice
Beautiful Beachs right out your front door
Restaurants in walking distance
Needs improvement
Fix toilet (master bedroom)
Fresh coat of paint
Replace furniture
Deep cleaning
I'd stay at the Royal Mauian again but not the specific condo until they took care of the above.

Coming from cold Minnesota in January this was the perfect retreat in the heat. Location on the southwest side of Maui with spectacular, this unit was just as advertised and we were very happy with it! Communication with hosts, questions while we were there all answered in a timely fashion. Would recommend to friends and a heartbeat!

We loved this condo. It was beautiful, clean, had plenty of room, everything you could want, including a fantastic view of the ocean where we could watch whales and sea turtles. Only a quick walk to the beach and across the road from shops and great restaurants. We totally enjoyed staying here and would book it again if we came back.

This condo was perfect for our family of 4 for a week. We loved being able to walk right out to the ocean . The kids played with the boogie boards every day and we did lots of snorkeling right from Kam 1, which seemed to be a very gentle beach. Having the natural food store (Hawaiian Moons) across the street was very convenient (loved the Acai bowls for breakfast). The air conditioning in the unit was great for taking out the humidity in the air. The kitchen was functional and we cooked dinner at the condo several nights.

We have stayed in many units in the Royal Mauian. The property is excellent and I would give it 5 stars. This unit is okay. The view is beautiful. We were not bothered by the street noise. The unit is well equipped with beach accessories, kitchen wares, etc. The kitchen is dark and needs another light installed. There was no plug for the sink so that we could do dishes. We reported this on our first day and were told one would be provided, but it was not delivered in the 2 weeks that we were there. The fridge ice dispenser did not work and the several of the buttons on the oven panel did not work which made it difficult to get the right temperature for baking. The management did get a repair guy out and understandably the part would not arrive until after we left. We were told that we would receive some money back. We still have not received this despite numerous emails and phone calls. We were supplied with 2 small roles of toilet paper in each bathroom for 4 people. I could see this for a 1 week stay but a bit cheap for a 2 week stay, given how much you pay for the unit. The same goes for dish washing soap and dishwasher soap. Other units we have stayed in provide enough for the length of stay. We did also mention the door stop being broken but it was not fixed.
Overall, nothing major just a lot of small things.
We will definitely go back to the Royal Mauian, but will pick a different unit.

Location, location, location. For south Kihei there are only a few places that are truly oceanfront, and this is one of them. This unit was very nicely updated and the rooftop area with tables and BBQ's we thought was the best place for dinner on the entire island. While this unit was nice for our family of 5 (3 kids) it was not a "Penthouse" as advertised and the listing should be modified. Other little things were annoying (lighting in kitchen was horrible, AC units only worked after the fuse was reset, and only 3 dishwasher tablets were provided for our 10 day stay) - but we were in Maui so life was all good. May consider another unit next time but location was phenomenal.

Overall we enjoyed out stay in Royal Mauian top floor unit (who wouldn't its Maui, and the building is right on Kameole beach 1 and 2). Steps from the beach, snokeling with turtles in a great coral reef literally 20 steps from the building. Building has great rooftop terrace, is maticulously maintained, and has close access to the highway, and tonnes of good food nearby. Building itself is probably one of the best condo buildings in Kiehi. Claudia, the manager, was great to deal with and was very prompt in her communications, and ensured we knew everything we did prior to arrival.
For the unit itself, I gave it a 3/5, mostly due to the high cost of the unit. 3/5 is "Average", and I think that is appropriate. It started out with high marks due to the great view and location. The unit is indeed updated, and the new tile throughout is nice, along with a very nice renovated kitchen. But then there are things that take away from that: the kitchen has no light beside the one in the microwave, the bathrooms (while renovated) are very worn, with broken drawers and things like mold growth on shower curtains. The unit as a whole also shows a lot wear, the walls need some serious TLC, you can tell coats of paint are reapplied without any patch work or sanding on the walls. Tonnes of gouges on the walls throughout and for such a nicely renovated unit, it felt surprisingly run down. And sadly, you do get a good amount of road noise from loud trucks and motorbikes from the main road in Kihei due to its proximity (I think the patio in this unit is at a perfect angle to reflect and amplify the sound).
I think this would have been an awesome rental at a lower price, but at the current pricing is quite a stretch. At a lower price point it could have gotten 4 or 5 stars, but expectations raise as the price does. Overall a great building and good unit that needs some TLC and a lower price.

We arrived at 3 am only to realize that the final confirmation told us to turn left out of the elevators but had no unit number. An hour later with two kids in tow we were able to finally figure it out based on the mail box numbers. Not impressed.
The unit was clean and updated. Gorgeous view of beach one. Lots of supplies including beach stuff. I'd say the kitchen is a little cramped and dark at night and needs another light. Also the door stopper is loose and falls down every time you open the door. That makes it difficult to carry things out and close the door behind you when your hands are full.

All in all the unit was not that bad, there were a few things that needed attention. I must say that Claudia was on the ball for anything that you needed thank you for that. I really think that you need to advertise the unit as a top floor unit rather than a penthouse being on the top floor really does make it a penthouse. The rooms are on the smaller side, the kitchen is really small, and you really need more lighting In the kitchen. The roof top & pool are both very well kept.. The unit is right on the ocean side & close to everything.
It is a little noisy but not that bad. I actually thought that I would love the sound of the waves at night, turns out not so much.. I do have to say that the unit is not that bad but definitely NOT a penthouse unit.
Not sure that we would stay there again $$$$ a little to expensive for what you get.

This condo was the perfect place to enjoy Kihei.
The unit was clean, and well-equipped. We had a great view of the beach, with the sound of the waves making a lovely background noise. Whale watching from the lanai was a daily event, (binoculars packed from previous experiences). We would often leave the glass door open (screened) so the breeze could come through and keep a comfortable temperature, but at night or if too hot, the air conditioner worked well.
There is parking and direct access to the ocean, as well as oceanside pool and lawn.
We loved the beach, and were able to swim and boogie board for hours.
This location had several places to eat within walking distance; rated highly in the Lonely Planet Travel Book. There was also a couple friendly and reasonably-priced activity stores to rent swimming/snorkelling/boarding gear from right across the street.
We would stay in this condo or another under the same management again.
Paul G.

We loved our stay in this unit and would definitely stay again. Very clean, modern and well equipped with all household items and beach gear available for use. AC's worked great when not out on the lanai. The roof deck has million dollar views. Grounds were nicely maintained. Our friends stayed in a lower unit that hadn't been updated probably since it was built. Compared to this unit, this was so much better.
December 2013
We stayed here for ten nights in November, 2013. Our unit was one condo away from the street, approx. 30 feet from So. Kihei Rd. (We had been told by the rental agent that our unit was oceanfront but that was not the case) The road noise was very loud and constant. You could see the headlights from the cars reflected on the bedroom wall at night. There is no air conditioning so closing the windows is not an option.
The carpet in the living room and bedrooms is stained and very dirty. The fabric on the couch is stained and ripped. The drapes are tattered and stained. The ceiling fan in the main bedroom has three speeds but only one works. The white towels provided were washed with red clothing and are pink. The dishes are chipped and mismatched. No toiletries were provided. There is no garbage disposal.
On the positive side the bathrooms and the kitchen had been recently renovated.
We vacationed with friends who rented other units in the Royal Mauian for approx. the same price and their condos were exactly as stated. Their condos showed the owners' pride. Ours, obviously, did not. We felt cheated. When we contacted the rental agent after our first sleepless night she said there was nothing she could do.
There are many lovely condos in the Royal Mauian for your Maui vacation. This unit is NOT one of them.
