Hi Tomoko, I just wanted to let you know that we are enjoying ourselves at the condo so far and that everything has been excellent with regards to amenities and cleanliness etc. It was clean and well appointed. We arrived early forgetting the check in wasn't until 330 and gabby did her best to clean as fast as possible for us. We love the easy access to the beach and pool that the ground floor allows. Thanks,Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This place is a complete dump. The floors are filthy. The throw carpets are filthy. The bathrooms are dirty and the towels stink. There were cockroaches in the bathroom. No airconditioning. The kitchen was dirty.The furniture was old and smelled. DO NOT RENT. The worst place we have ever rented in the Royal MauianDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Hello Tomoko, We are beginning to plan our next family vacation to Maui, and would love to stay in your condo again. I was looking at the calendar and this coming winter is already looking full! So I thought I should write to inquire about reserving for next winter. It seems so far away but have the fun is anticipation! Thank you, we really enjoy your home there in Kihei,Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We've just returned from a beautiful stay at Tomoko's place at the Royal Mauian. This ground unit is really a super for many reasons. I love the ground floor for the kids, and the fact that the lanai is shaded at lunch so you can still be outside during the hotest part of the day. I've never been to a maui unit that was so well stocked with beach stuff, the chairs, boogie boards, sand toys thats standard, but there are also fins, snorkels and masks. Other details such as premium sheets, and sharp Henkel knives really were a treat to find. The unit was clean and well appointed. My only reasons for not marking excellent was the fridge. But in fairness there was a warning... but if your ice cream is to stay hard, you will freeze your produce. Its not fancy with the granite etc but it was perfect for our family, and we will be back.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.

I am sorry we have not written sooner to thank you and to tell you how much we enjoyed using your condo in September. It was everything we expected and more! Your suggestions and information about the island was a great help. We were really able to relax and enjoy the beaches and especially the sunsets... in fact we were all set to eat at several of the restaurants but ended up cooking on the grills on the roof and just relaxing at the condo. We have decided to return in a few years and would hope to stay at your condo again. I was a wonderful trip. Thanks again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Dear Tomoko I just wanted to let you know that I had an absolutely wonderful time in Maui with my family. We all wished we could have stayed there longer. Your condo was comfortable and wonderful. The beach was so inviting and the tropical fish were amazing. We did the bike ride from the top of Haleakala, we all took a surf board lesson, we went to Lanai for snorkeling trip, then of course we ate at Mama's Fish House and Sansei sushi restaurant. Thank you for your great recommendation. I woke up every morning at 6am, then either took a walk with my friend or did snorkeling while all my family members were still asleep. We even saw a sea turtle right off the Kamaole 2. We were greeted by hundreds of dolphins on the way back from Lanai. The sunset from the condo was breath taking. So many beautiful memories!!! We would love to come back and stay at your condo again. Thank youDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Hi Tomoko Thanks for the first class stay at royal Mauian. We had a great time. The weather was perfect and we really had fun with the kids exploring the island. The unit was fantastic. I really appreciate the nice sheets and comfy bed and sharp knives. Thanks also for the late checkout. I'm just waiting for the last load to go through the washer. We will be back!!

Hi Tomoko, We just got home from Maui, and wanted to drop you a note to thank you for sharing your lovely Royal Mauian condo with us. We really enjoyed it, the location was indeed excellent, and the view from your lanai was great to just sit and relax. You were right, this location was great for us and our kids, they could just walk across the street for the shave ice and the cinnamon buns, and we could just walk to beaches to boogie board if we didn't feel like driving. We also enjoyed the rooftop BBQs which we used almost every night. It is just beautiful up there. Anyway, thanks again, everything that we needed was in the condo.Did you find this review helpful?

We had a wonderful stay here. The condo has felt like our very own beach house: plenty of comfort and convenience, the ocean at our doorstep (complete with turtles!), but no useless frills. Just our style! We made good use of the kitchen, the lanai and the grass and beach just outside. The natural foods store across the street, fantastic snorkeling only 15 minutes away at Makena, easy drives to the airport, Paia, the start of the Haleakala road and Hana highway, surfing lessons for the kids just a few minutes away, the many restaurants, the Aloha spirit of owner Tomoko and her right hand Keiko during our preparations - I could go on and on about the factors that helped make our time in the Islands magical. Mahalo!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

It is hard to believe that it has been more than a month since we left your fantastic facility. Again, my wife and I had a wonderful time, and really enjoyed a nice long relaxing vacation. Everything was just as we expected throughout or stay. Even the little problem with the water backup was easily taken care of by the staff at the Royal Mauian. We are already looking forward to our return in 2 years, and have already picked out our dates, and we will contact you in January/February of next year to check on availability. We are looking at returning for 20 nights. We are hoping that you are still renting out the property at that time and have not decided to live there already. Best of luck to you, and we look forward to our return. Regards,Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This year's Maui vacation is over, and we are already looking forward to next year. Our stay in Maui was wonderful, in large part due to your delightful condo and its great location. So, for next year I would like to schedule a month in January/February. The time can range from 30 to 35 days, or whatever works for your booking schedule.

We had perfect weather, which has made it more difficult to come home to the rain storm we are in now. Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your wonderful condo. I’m hoping to save up for another Maui trip in the future, so until then… Aloha!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We are just finishing our 10 day stay at this unt. I have made a few trips to Maui in the past, and in my opinion, considering all factors, this is the best unit, in the best condo complex in Kihei. My wife and I have two toddlers, and the ease of access to two beaches is amazing. The grassy "play" area right out the patio door is perfect for kids, and fabulous for stepping outside to watch the sunsets. And being on the main floor, makes it so easy to jump to and from the beach. Restaurants and stores are within easy walking distance. We will stay here again, and will recommend it to anyone.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

Dear Tomoko. We had a most fantastic time and your condo was the icing on the cake. We usually stay at Kihei Kai Nani across the street but being ocean front was such a wow for us. The sound and view of the ocean is incredible. The breezes from gentle, soft, to full blown, invigorating, oxygen-laden trades amazed us. Being able to dine on the lanai looking at the fantastic view is an absolute treat. I could just sit for hours looking! Accessing the beach so easily was also brilliant. My husband spent hours dipping in the ocean. The shower on the lawn is so useful. Swimming pool in the complex is pristine. Royal Mauin has that Hawaiian charm many resorts don't have. We loved it. Your condo is well stocked and feels like home! Thank you for your attention to detail. I so hope you had a great trip to Japan and all is well. Many thanks again for all your efforts to make things as smooth as possible for us. Mahalo to you. Blessings from Charlotte and Steve, (James & Laura say thanks too!)Did you find this review helpful?

We were lucky enough to spend four weeks in this condo. Having a ground floor unit was amazing. We were a little worried about security but Tomoko has thought about that by providing a simple yet effective security measure. Being able to stroll out of our condo onto what we feel is the best kept lawn on Maui is a true bonus. And then to be able to pick between two fantastic beaches (one to the left and one to the right) is simply the best. Enjoying the sunsets from our lanai while sipping a glass of wine just added to the whole experience. Mahalo Tomoko for providing such a great place to vacation!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

This is a great place to stay. It really is possible to go without a car as there are stores, restaurants and one of the most beautiful beaches in Maui right outside. A pleasant surprise was all of the kitchen gear, beach toys and entertainment options ready to go. The owner is very organized and helpful.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for a great comments. I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed our condo. When I first saw one of Maui's best beach, Kamaole 1 Beach right outside of our condo, I fell in love with our condo. So close to the great beaches and also so close to the shops and restaurants across the street. I take our guests' vacation seriously. Comments you sent me made me very happy. Mahalo for sending me your comments. Tomoko

Aloha Tomoko, We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your wonderful condo. The ocean-front, ground-floor location was everything that we'd hoped for from our extensive research. Besides the fantastic beach access, we also loved the convenience of the restaurants & shops across the street. We also enjoyed the sunset grilling on the roof deck. Please count us as satisfied and hopefully repeat guests! Mahalo, Chuck & Marie-ClaudeDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Tomoko, Hi. I just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful from the livintime staying in your condo. The views are amazing and with the beaches so close it was ideal for our family. My parents and brother stayed in a condo unit on the 6th floor in the same building but we were very happy to be on the first floor and able to go in and out at our leisure. As I'm sure that you've heard from other visitors we fell in love with Maui and hope to return in the not to distant future.

Aloha Tomoko, We want to thank you for the rental of your lovely condominium in Kihei, Maui. We had the best of everything nearby - snorkeling with the turtles and reef fish, boogie boarding on the beach, great shopping, and best of all, a spectacular view of the ocean and the wonderful Hawaiian sunsets! The unit was very private, comfortable and pretty. Being on the ground floor was the best perk of all! Who could ask for more? We will definitely be back. Thanks again.

The Royal Mauian also gets highest marks for me. I was surprised and impressed at the immaculate grooming of the grounds and the cleanliness of the common facilities. The homeowner’s representative was a pleasant woman. I think your rate is a little low. I thought the $200 per night was an extreme bargain considering the location and quality of the unit. I think you could easily get $225 per night in that location even in low season. Cindy, Las Vegas********************Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Thank you for providing such a lovely stay in Maui. I have been to the island several times, and our stay at the Royal Mauian, Tomoko, was the absolutely best by far! I’ve stayed in resorts in Kaanapali (Hyatt, Westin, and The Whaler), in Kapalua (The Ritz Carlton), and other condos in Kihei. But your condo combines the best of both worlds – luxurious views, the sounds of the ocean, soft green grass underfoot, easy access to wonderful restaurants and shops all this and the ease and comfort of having our own little apartment (your condo) in a most beautiful setting. We felt right at home in your home – and your hospitality was four-star! Even though we spent 11 days there in May, we’re already planning a return trip for four weeks in November. We’re so excited to return, and so soon, to your island paradise and your condo rental that felt like “home” to us from the start! Mahalo MichelleDid you find this review helpful?

We had a most enjoyable time in Kihei and the vacation condo met all of our needs. With two young boys, the condo not only enabled us to cook our own meals but provided ample space for the boys to move around. Close proximity to the ocean and the community pool provided ample opportunities to go to the beach or swim in the pool throughout the day without having to pack the car and drive. Needless to say, the condo and the surrounding area provided all the comforts of being at home but in a much more relaxed and beautiful setting.Did you find this review helpful?

We especially enjoyed staying right on the beach - seeing and hearing the waves from the living room and then walking a very short distance to the public beach next door. We were very happy to have chosen your condo instead of one of the others across the street. My sister-in-law particularly liked having cable tv and a fully furnished kitchen. Since the slightly stormy winter weather that week ruined the visibility forsnorkeling, we made the most of the stronger winter surf by using your boogie boards. We had never tried boogie boards before and wouldn't have thought to rent any ourselves. It was a highlight of the trip! Thank you! Regards, JenniferDid you find this review helpful?
