We have stayed in Kihei many many times on the beach in the same area. This unit looked north at the beach and it was lovely. The beds were very comfortable. The carpet does need to be replaced in the unit, and although no air conditioning, there were plenty of fans however, the fans were very loud so we did not use them. If you open the windows the cross breeze cools the unit down nicely. Even during the day with it being on the north side kept the unit cool. The price was very high but the location cannot be beat and prices in Kihei have really increased since Covid. We would stay here again.
our family had a very good reunion and many enjoyable times at your property. the beach access and views are terrific.
Overall we enjoyed our stay, but had a few things that were annoying. Within the control of the owner is the conditions of the place and items in it. Almost everything in this condo is old. Carpet / sliding balcony doors / decor / lights/ couches / beds. The kitchen has been redone but has aged quickly (not bad though ). As for items in the condo, they provided everything necessary but feels like bare minimums. We've stayed in dozens of places around Kihei, and visited twice as many, so we know what to expect. Typically units will have a variety of left over spices / oils / coffee / sugar etc, not here. Salt / Pepper and a supply for 1 coffee. Also, there were only 2 beach chairs, which considering it is a 2 bedroom and typically would sleep 4, is just not enough chairs . They did supply decent amount of laundry soap.
The bedroom that is close to the shared hallway is very noisy. This may be similar for all units, but I would hope that the upgraded windows in many of the units quiets this down a bunch (educated guess) . We also had some extremely noisy neighbours that had to be called multiple times throughout our stay which lessened the experience. And when drunk people walk past your bedroom at 2:00am and are talking, it feels like they are in your room.
The view is incredible though, and being able to leave your shoes/sandles in the room and just walk down 2 short flights of stairs to the beach is exactly what we wanted. Despite the neighbours, we had a great time.
This was our first stay in Kihei and we thoroughly enjoyed the location. We liked being directly on the ocean with wonderful views of the ocean and the whales. We also enjoyed having the grassy area around the condos and the adjacent park where we could enjoy the evening sunsets. My only suggestion is that the kitchen could use a few additional non-breakable serving dishes to take outside for those sunset picnics. Otherwise the condo was well furnished, comfortable and enjoyable. Would definitely stay again.
I've never left a poor review but based on the cost of the rental, I was very disappointed. Beautiful property and location but was greeted by paperwork on the counter stating the windows were due be replaced. This should have been done years ago as you couldn't open the master bedroom windows for fear they might fall out and you couldn't even see through them towards the beach at Kamaole 1 because they were so dirty and corroded from years of salt spray.
On the first night we were there, the lights on the ceiling fan in the master bedroom blew out. No big deal as I reported it the next morning. I was told the property manager would take care of this...but no, the lights were never replaced and the master bedroom had no overhead lights the entire stay.
The entertainment system in the main room works fine but (very useful directions supplied) the volume on the TV was maxed out or close too that and there was no way to turn it down. In the master bedroom, it was opposite...no volume whatsoever. Not that we wanted to watch TV 24/7 but with the equipment there it would have been nice to utilize when needed.
As stated when deciding to rent, there is no A/C which is okay in the master bedroom but it gets very warm in the second bedroom.
Water pressure in the showers are very weak but get the job done in the long run.
The rest of the unit and lanai was fine enough but considering the amount charged...there are much better options out there. Pretty disappointed!
Not a bad place to stay, thought it was a bit overpriced. Ran out of TP might want to have a few more roles on hand, had to buy some more. Did not like carpet and it smelled a bit. Nice to have umbrella and cooler there. Not bad overall.

The unit needs to be updated. Indoor carpet is old and dirty, windows are broken and dirty, walls have holes, with paint covering damage. The bed in the primary bedroom has netting of mattress ripped and hanging on floor with what looks to be a lot of personal belongings shoved under the bed. The bedroom closet is full of other items, including paint cans. The fans are broken, the tile floor is cracked and broken. Every frame in the condo is hanging crooked on the wall. The shower rod and curtain fell down while getting out of the shower. The outdoor furniture is badly corroded, outdoor carpet is torn, lanai railing and table top very dirty,

This is a great place to stay for the cool season. Great location and updated kitchen are big pluses. No AC and a pretty dated interior are minuses. Overall if you are doing it right, those minuses don't matter and you'll enjoy the stay. Rental company is also refreshingly helpful.
The location is amazing. The building is clean and well maintained, this unit is not. It could use more than the quick clean it gets between guests. As some guests before us have mentioned, the owner needs to fix a few things. The sliding door to the deck is very difficult to open and close. The bathroom fan, connected to the only light, is extremely noisy and wakes everyone in the middle of the night. Two of the master bedroom windows are ajar and you can’t close them because the cranks are broken. This makes the bedroom noisy and bugs come in. The dryer doesn’t work well. Took over 2 hours to dry beach towels. Not a biggie but the on-demand hot water system isn’t sufficient enough to supply “any” hot water to the bath tub. (even when nothing else is using hot water). These things are not acceptable for price the owner is charging for this unit.

The Royal Mauian property is beautiful.The views spectacular.Unfortunately our unit #303 didn’t meet our expectations.We found so many deficiencies. It is very tired. Needs to be painted badly.The carpets need to be cleaned, clutter with too much furniture on the lanai and many basic cooking tools missing. Eg metal spatula for BBQing, potato peeler the list goes on. However Maui condo & home came thru with a new oven after 3 days without one. Should have been checked before our arrival. Thank heavens for the view from our lanai of Kam 1. Lovely.Weather was amazing!
Cockroach infested unit. We were in contact with the management company, very responsive but the company used to rid the unit of the cockroaches was horrible. WE received 2 night refund, asked for a cleaning refund as the unit was filthy. Not to mention the broken door lock upon arrival, thread bare linens, broken beach chairs, coffee pot in need of cleaning, blender that was on its last legs, no cleaning products in the unit but lots of raid cans and cockroach bait traps. Been coming to Maui for 25 years have NEVER had an experience like this one.

The is was stay #3. Can’t beat the location to the beach and some shopping. Easy to get to any other part of the island. Quiet community (some owners live there as well, not like a hotel). The rooftop gardens are perfect for watching the sunset and grilling up some dinner. I’ll be back.
Great experience.

Location is perfect. Right on sandy beach, walk to groceries, ice cream, restaurants, gear rentals, ABC Stores. Kitchen is complete, beds very comfortable, plenty of sofas, chairs, TVs. Beach boards & chairs were a real bonus. We watched whales from our deck and from the rooftop patio we watched the sunsets and whales nightly.

The best thing about this condo is the view. We loved being on the beach and near the parks in Kihei. We also loved the roof access for watching sunsets and cooking dinner on the barbecues. The main drawback is the street noise. Maui must not have any noise ordinances regarding traffic and mufflers. The street noise was 24/7. Also the condo has no AC. With climate change and fewer evening breezes, AC would improve this condo a great deal. The fans helped but it still got hot inside most days.

The view from the kitchen, living room, lanai, and primary bedroom was spectacular! The exterior of the property is landscaped with flowers and is well maintained, as is the rooftop deck (a nice bonus feature). We did not use the pool because we were steps away from two beautiful, swimmable beaches on either side. There are multiple dining/shopping options directly across the street, again just steps away. The kitchen and both bathrooms have been nicely remodeled. The granite countertops, quality cabinetry and duel sinks with large, well lit mirror in the primary bathroom were appreciated. The kitchen was well stocked with tools and equipment, as well as plenty of cups/dishes/silverware (only had to run the dishwasher at the end of our 7 night stay! Who wants to do dishes all the time when on vacation?). Even the furniture was nice. On the other hand, the green shag carpet made the rooms feel very dated and the comforters on the bed were old fashioned and faded (though clean). After spending the big money on remodeling the kitchen and baths, it made no sense to me that the owners did not bother to change out the carpet and purchase some nicer bed coverings. These two easy changes would give the unit the luxurious feel it deserves. Also, the lampshades in the primary bedroom and the drapery in living area were slightly dirty, again cheap fixes relatively speaking. My husband noticed none of this, but I did. It was enough for me to drop a star on the rating.There is no air conditioner in this unit, but plenty of fans throughout. This is something I did not realize when I booked. It did get warm inside, even with the fans on, so this is something to keep in mind. Overall, I would recommend this rental to my friends. It is a great value considering the view and proximity to amenities, if you are able to overlook a few truly minor things.
Good experience!! Great location
