Wonderful unit in the best location near shopping and many food options, with awesome snorkeling right in front (turtles every day!), beautifully updated and appointed. The beds are very comfortable and we enjoyed every minute. Highly recommended!

Love the location, between Kamole I and Kamaole II beaches. Great snorkeling for beginners, conveniently across the street from shops and eats and rentals, perfect for morning walks and sunsets on the lanai. The best!

We have been to Maui 25+ times over the years and this is now one of our new favorite places to stay. Beautiful views, fantastic location and very nice, updated condo. Barbara was great with communication and every part of the process was smooth. Highly recommend, would definitely stay here again!

We loved the easy access to both beaches - great for younger children. Snorkeling at both beaches was terrific and the children saw 7 turtles in one day. The condo was fully equipped and the beds were comfy. There are beach towels, boogie boards, sand toys and 1 smaller Playmate cooler and a larger cooler. Can’t say enough. Highly Recommend.

We were happy with location and amenities. As well as excellent check in and check out process. Only thing would like to give feedback on was lack of cleanliness on dishes in cabinet. Several items still
Had dried food stuck on them and made us rehash all dishes we used.

Had a great experience. The unit was clean, and as described. Was roomy for four of us. Love watching the sunset from the roof, and the easy walk to kam 2. Will be back! Owner is super communicative, and her responses were timely.

Initially hesitant about 3rd floor and a hotel. Quickly "adjusted" and thoroughly enjoyed staying in Anita's well equipped, comfortable unit with a incredible view of my favorite beach.

We had a fantastic stay celebrating our oldest son’s accomplishment of graduating High School.
We soaked up the sun, played in the ocean, ate lots of great food, and most importantly made great memories with our family.
The condo had everything we needed to be comfortable. The trade winds kept us cool and kept us refreshed for the next adventure. We definitely will stay again!

The location of the property is beautiful and the view is amazing. The unit has a well equipped kitchen. When we arrived, there were many things broken which I think should have been noticed by the property manager prior to our arrival. The bed frame was broken, mattress had a broken spring, the dishwasher was broken, plus a few other more minor things. The property manager was quick to fix these items but managing the repairs was inconvenient for us. I would recommend staying at The Royal Mauian, but would likely find another unit.

Our family of four, including two 18-year olds, stayed here for 16 nights. In our opinion, this Royal Mauian building is the nicest one on the beach in Kihei.
The room was a perfect size for our family. Comfy. Plenty of room on the deck and in the kitchen. The floors are made of concrete, so you never hear people above walking around. It stays nice inside without air conditioning because there’s almost always wind blowing through.
The view is incredible. Easy access to the beach. Beach chairs, and umbrella and knee boards and noodles. Calm water in the morning and very windy with some great waves to play in in the afternoon. You can see sea turtles every day. They swim right past you. Coral is all off to the sides of the beach, so it’s just sand to play in.
Centrally located so it’s easy to get to your planned activities.
For us, we found out that this is the best area to stay. South of here in Wailea, it feels like dense condos and resorts. It appears wealthier, but everything is stacked together. North of here in Kaanapali, it seems like it’s completely locked in by resorts with expensive parking and golf courses. It felt very high density and corporate. Great places to visit, but not as comfortable as this condo in Kihei. It felt like being home.
There is not a full sized oven. The microwave doubles as an oven. This was new to us. The grills and kitchen on the roof are incredible for sunset dinners. If we were to buy investment property in Maui, this would be it.

We can't say enough about how wonderful this property was for our family's first visit to Maui. It was perfectly located for exploring the island. I loved the easy access to many beaches, and the snorkeling right in front of the condo was a major bonus! We took several snorkeling excursions while in Maui, but the snorkeling right in front of the condo was as good as those excursions! The scenery off of the condo balcony was incredible ... the sunsets .... the quiet of the morning, and especially loved seeing the many sea turtles. Now on to the condo itself - we all agreed that it was the most well stocked condo rental we have ever had. The owners really make it feel like home. We so appreciated them sharing their home with us. They were also readily available to answer any questions we had. The tips they shared about the local area were also incredibly helpful and recommendations were spot on! Thank you for making our Hawaii vacation so memorable! It is a long trip for us but really hope to make it back to Maui someday ... and this condo!

I'm so glad we booked this location. Diana is a great host and provided all the information, details, answers, etc. prior to our trip and during our trip. We didn't have any issues, she just followed up to make sure things were going ok. The location of the property is great. Excellent beach and snorkeling access right outside your door. The area is very family friendly with food, shops, rental equipment right across the street. The condo is really nice and very well maintained. Very clean and updated and everything worked as expected. We didn't cook a ton but everything you need is provided and the appliances are new and really nice. Beach chairs, mats, and towels were provided along with some boogie boards and pool toys. The pool is also great. It has a glass fence which blocks out some of the wind but doesn't restrict the view. I would 100% stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great vacation.

Amazing condo! The location is perfect with an easy walk to two beaches! Lots of snorkeling & turtles out front. The condo is outfitted incredibly well with everything you could possibly need. It was hot during our stay but the afternoon winds cool things down and we were often out & about during the afternoons. Gorgeous sunsets from the lanai. Host was wonderful. Mahalo!

We loved the mornings and evenings gazing over the Pacific. During the day the condo area was a convenient starting point. The condo had everything we needed, the only drawback was halfway through our stay neighbors above moved in very early in the AM and for the rest of the stay were up early.

This is our second time staying in this unit and it is perfect. We watched the sunset and sea turtles daily from the lanai. The beach and pool are just steps away. Can’t wait to return.

We celebrated 20+ years in Hawaii and split our time between Oahu and Maui. This condo was perfect for our family in every way. Comfortable beds, clean and well maintained, and nicely updated. It had all the amenities we needed and more and was a great home base to explore Maui both in the car and on foot. The view is maybe the best view I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. The weather is consistently amazing, and the access to the 2 beaches on either side made things so easy. Great snorkeling right in front of the condo and we swam with sea turtles almost every day we went! We just arrived home and are already trying to figure out when we can go back! Thanks for a great rental and great communication.

Three generation family group- ages 7 to 73 had a perfect visit here. Condo beautiful with all updated appliances, utensils, beach and pool accessories. Location is also perfect - two sandy beaches and coral reef with great swimming and snorkeling- we watched turtles both from our front yard and snorkeled with them. Pool steps away from our condo for easy transition from ocean to condo. And across the street at the backside are restaurants, stores, etc. Other than special side trips to Haleakala and Wailea, little time spent in our rental cars as everything was right here. We enjoyed 4th of July fireworks from both rooftop and the shoreline. We have been spoiled by this place and only hope that it will be available the next time we visit Maui! Thank you for sharing it with us.

My family and I have been coming to Maui for over 20 years and always stay at a condo nearby. This trip we decided to stay at the Royal Mauian because of the benefits of having a two bedroom and being walking distance to some of our favorite restaurants. This condo was even better than the pictures. It is located perfectly, close to the elevator and a stunning view of the ocean. The kitchen was well stocked along with everything you need to enjoy the beach. It felt clean and cared for. We would stay here again and again.

Our family (of four) had a great stay at Jenelle and Reno’s place! The unit was immaculate, fully stocked (including coffee), and the use of space was ideal. Great location, with lots to see/do within walking distance, including beach access (with ample snorkeling/swimming gear) and plenty of parking on site. Would highly recommend this property to anyone planning on an amazing, chill visit to Maui! Thank you!!

Great condo! Location was fantastic. We didn’t miss having air conditioning. Just open the windows and patio doors. Layout of condo was great for a family of 4 with 2 adult children. Lots of snorkeling and beach gear.

The location of this condo is ideal. It’s on the first floor, so you open the back sliding door to the beautiful ocean with grass and palm trees. You can take a very short walk to the left or right to get to the beach. Soft sand, clear water and turtles! The condo is comfortable. Not having AC took getting used to. It was awkward leaving all the doors and windows open all day and all night. We realized it was safe to do, but we were uneasy about it. We love our AC so not having it was hard. The ocean breeze was essential, but not quite cool enough for us at night to sleep well.
When we arrived, they were still cleaning the condo, but left pretty quickly. The property manager was very kind and was quick to bring us missing shampoo and soap.
The front bedroom doesn’t get as much air flow and it is very small. Our two teens slept there and were fine, but it was tight. The master bedroom sliding door has to stay open for airflow to occur, which is fine except when the pool guy sprayed down the pool walkways and used a blower at 7:30am on one of the mornings. Having the pool right next to this unit was noisy at times.
Also, you can walk across the street to shop and eat which is very convenient. We drove just a few minutes down the road for other restaurants and shops. And Wailea is so gorgeous and it’s just a short drive away. Golf at the Wailea golf resort was amazing!
Overall, this was a good place to stay due the location and being on the first floor.

We loved staying at this place. Perfect fit for two adults and three kids. The location may be the best in all of Kihei- easy walking distance to multiple beaches, restaurants, shops, etc. This place is so relaxing, perfect for morning coffee sessions and evening sunsets in the water. Kihei is so nostalgic for our family and we loved our time staying here. We'll definitely be back!!

This is an amazing family unit!. we had 2 adults and 2 kids, 6 and 10. The unit is set up well for 4 people, might be a little crowed with 6, but hey, its all family time. The kitchen is well equipped, bedrooms and bathrooms also well equipped and comfortable. Balcony is best feature and we spent the majority of our time there. Maybe could have had better instructions for after hours check-in but we figured it out fairly quickly. Loved our Hawiian Family vacation!!

Right on the water. Best snorkeling we found on Maui was right in front of the facility- even better than the tours.
Centrally located and right next to two great beaches.
Loved it, and will come back again.

This apartment was clean, well appointed and on a great beach for snorkeling. Close to lots of other beaches, restaurants and shopping. Beds were comfortable and there is in unit laundry which wasn’t clear from the listing but a good surprise.

This is hands down the most fully equipped place we have ever stayed in Maui. It has everything you need and then some. Views from the Lanai are just beautiful and the location between the two beaches is perfect. Shopping is nearby, some of it within walking distance. The only negative for some might be the lack of jacuzzi at the pool, my husband did miss that a little. Will be back for sure!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. As others have mentioned, you can’t beat the view from the lanai and bedroom: the ocean only steps away, Kamaole I beach, and the west Maui mountains all framed by palm trees. The condo was very well furnished with everything we needed, including high end appliances, comfortable furniture, and beach equipment. Small details such as high quality tissue were also provided. We only needed the air conditioning once during our stay, as the cross breeze through the condo was very pleasant. It was also convenient to be able to walk to plenty of good restaurants. Finally, we appreciated the detailed instructions on how to operate the TV. I highly recommend this place!

Great location-we loved that we had easy walking distance to two beaches directly downstairs from the condo. The turtles were so active and we saw turtles from the lanai and from the beach every single day of our 7 night stay!
Pros: The amount of gear that was available in the room! Wish we'd checked the closet before renting snorkel gear, because they had it! The boogie boards and chairs were great to have and we used them daily. Loved having the laundry in the room as well, and made for a great trip home with mostly clean clothes. Spices in the cabinet were so nice to have as well as all dishes/ziplocks/tupperware for packing lunches for the day. It all made for so much convenience!
Cons: the condo as a whole is definitely dated. We were warned about the lack of AC but it definitely got hot a few nights. We knew going in, but I think because we all run hot, we probably wouldn't stay here again just because of this, especially in June. Everything else was lovely, and the owners did a great job of supplying fans, and we had the trade winds come in, but coming from Oregon, we like to sleep cold, and that was on us for not going with an AC unit.
Overall, a wonderful holiday, and watching my son's face the first time he saw turtles from the lanai, or sitting together watching the sunset each night, I am so grateful for our time in Kihei!

Location was just perfect, few steps down to two beautiful beaches. The lanai (balcony) was great for sunsets, dinner, lunch and spotting morning turtles. All the appliances are not only new but top of the line. A bonus that isn’t really mentioned is the solidity of the complex, it’s all poured concrete so the walls and floors are really sound proof - so unless folk are on the lanai or out side - it’s very quiet! Skye was very quick and helpful when the blinds lost connection and quickly found a solution. Local food and groceries are within a block - Beach St cafe across the road and Cinnamon Roll place are especially good for breakfast! Would love to stay again.

Kevin is an incredible host! He messaged us well before our trip to check in with us, gave us great recommendations for food, and gave us a late check out based on our late flight home. The condo itself is very nice. Kevin has it stocked with anything and everything you might need included spices for cooking. You have a perfect view of the sunset each night and can even see turtles swimming near the shore. You are in a perfect location with places to eat and shop right across the street while the beaches are right next door. We had an amazing trip and highly recommend staying here!
