The view is stunning no matter the time of day, and is easy to enjoy while relaxing on the lanai. Sue is an exceptional host, and we appreciate her willingness to answer all of our questions in a thoughtful and timely manner.”<br /><br />Barbara & Jeremy, from NYC (Jan 2024): “The location of Sue’s place is ideal—the combination of ocean in the back and town in the front is amazing. I spent lots of time on the lanai, reading, listening to the waves, smelling the sea, and watching the sunsets. It was all incredibly restorative. I also really loved the nightly gatherings of people watching the sunset from the lawn. I so appreciate why Sue loves this beautiful home; what a wonderful gift to share it with others. Mahalo!”<br /><br />Alyssa, from Boston (Aug 2022): “We loved our stay at Sue's awesome place. Sue is the ultimate host and truly wanted to make sure we had the best experience possible with top notch communication and attention to detail. The place has so many fantastic features... beautiful modern design and art, two beaches out the front door, spectacular ocean front lanai, the sound of the waves day and night, central location to so many island attractions and sights, incredible natural food store across the street, and fun shops in walking distance. We highly recommend this rare ocean front find that brings together comfort, relaxation and sophistication in Paradise! We did not want to leave and can't wait to go back!”<br /><br />Rita & Robert, from San Francisco: May 2022): “Sue’s place is wonderful. Probably our best Hawaii vacation out of dozens over the last three decades. These things made it great: 1) the IDEAL location right at the ocean—it’s simply unbeatable. 2) The lovely and artfully designed condo and lanai, packed thoughtfully with absolutely everything you will need to enjoy your stay. 3) Plus Sue's gracious communication throughout the process, including all the wonderful recommendations. We tried most of her ideas and loved every one! We also loved having all the space and a second bathroom for our extended stay.”<br /><br />Dina & Danny, from Los Angeles (April 2021): “Our week-long stay at Sue’s wonderful ocean-front Maui condo couldn’t have been better. Spotless, sparkling, wonderfully decorated with a mid-century/Hawaiian vibe AND the view is out of this world! From the lanai and the master bedroom and the living room/dining room you see ocean, sky, other islands, sunsets and stars. Sleeping to the lull of the ocean and waking up to walk the beach or catch an early snorkel before coffee—picture perfect. If you’re going to Maui, stay here!”<br /><br />Karen, from Santa Barbara (Feb 2020): <br />“The condo is beautifully appointed and designed. The view and sound of the ocean from every room cannot be beat. The location is perfect; walkable to many amenities, a short drive to others. I barely wanted to leave the lanai, but the ability to walk out the door onto the beach was dreamy. I cannot wait to go back.”<br /><br />Kathryn, from Edmonton, Alberta (Feb 2020): “I wanted to take a minute to tell you how much we enjoyed our two weeks stay in your condo. The view was amazing! We loved the way the sky changed colours, the view of water and the beach (not to mention the parade of dogs). The furniture on the deck was perfect. You can lounge or sit at a table! Also, we appreciated the generous amount of bath towels, access to laundry and dishwasher detergent, salt/pepper, and hand soap in the bathrooms. That all felt very hospitable and welcoming. We loved eating at the organic grocery store across the street. You were right. Yum! Also, we loved the ocean breezes instead of air conditioning. Overall we had a great time, and, hopefully one day we’ll be back!”<br /><br />Kelly, from Seattle (Feb 2020): “Lovely place! Location, location!! The condo is gorgeous inside and outside. Every night we enjoyed the maui sunset from the roof, and in the mornings enjoyed seeing whales from the lanai. Perfect Maui getaway. Great restaurants, local coffee shop, and organic market across the street.”<br /><br />ABOUT THE PROPERTY and OWNER: <br />The Royal Mauian Resort—built in 1973 and known as the “Queen of Kihei”— is a well-maintained and lovely landscaped south Maui landmark, located right on the water between two great beaches (Kama’ole I and II). <br /><br />I was making the trek from San Francisco to the Royal Mauian for 25 years as a renter — the mesmerizing ocean views and sounds just kept bringing me back. I am thrilled to be an owner now for 6 years, and to be able to share this experience with you; my hope is that you, in turn, can share it with your friends and family. I co-own with my brother, Mark, who is an amazing contractor in LA. We have had fun reimagining the space, and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />390050100041, TA-103-424-6656-01
