This motel is a two story motel over the top of a restaurant that is also owned by the motel. As I arrived in the late Sunday afternoon and the restaurant is closed on Mondays I cannot comment on that part of their business. The motel room was plain with cinder block walls, but the room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. There was a step in shower in the bathroom and a TV with a router and included wifi. The wifi was adequate, but as I got in late and left early I really did not use much of the facility. It had a through the wall air conditioner that worked just fine and the motel reached out and contacted me the day of arrival and was friendly and professional at check in. I'd say it's overpriced for the facilities, but you have to take into account location, and competition. It was the most reasonably priced motel in an area of unreasonably priced lodging choices. LOL I would stay there again.

The property was great, the location is beautiful. We had a lock combination but were never provided with the condo unit number prior to arrival. We assumed we would get it from a desk at check in. However there is no desk. Our flight was late, and we had no way to get in to the room at 11 PM. We were unable to contact the host at that time. Eventually we contacted a property manager who agreed to come and look up the name of the property owner and hopefully have the unit number. In the meantime, I located a VERBO customer service phone number. The representative was very helpful had the unit number and waited on the line until we got in.By this time it was midnight.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here and our week in South Maui. The location was perfect for us. Just outside the busy areas of Kihei but only a short drive to everything. The unit was as advertised and thoughtfully stocked with everything you would expect and more. The adjacent small beach and sea turtle resting area were amazing. Grassy areas were perfect for our boys to throw the football around. Overall, I would highly recommend this rental.

This condo was perfect for a family of four visiting Kihei. The views from the lanai are absolutely stunning. The property is well-maintained and the grounds are beautiful with a quiet beach right in front. We enjoyed many beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the lanai. The condo had everything we needed including beach, chairs, boogie boards, coolers, etc which added to the ease and enjoyment of our stay. Highly recommend!!

Great unit with everything you need. Amazing sunset views and right on amazing beaches. The kids loved the turtle resting area and we were able to see green sea turtles everyday.
It was a magical holiday.
Big thanks to Christine!

What a great place to stay! It was perfect for our group of four. They have a graft pool to relax in and a restaurant is attached to the building g as well. Beaches are fanatic and literally a 60 second walk from the condo. The beaches offered something for everyone, as there is a reef barrier built as a turtle sanctuary that keeps the waves down if you want more calm waters. If you want more adventurous water, the beaches on either side of the turtle sanctuary will do just fine. Great for paddle boarding, snorkeling and more! We were able to see turtles almost every day, up close and personal!
The location in Ma’alaea Harbour is the best! You are about 40 minutes from Ka’anapoli, 30 minutes to most places upcountry, and about 20 minutes to the airport in Kahului.
Great communication from the owners the whole way through our stay. They could not have made it an easier or enjoyable. I will definitely look to stay here again when we return. Mahalo!!!

Nice place with comfy beds enough for a family of 6. Had everything we needed minus an umbrella. It was clean and check in was easy! Awesome view of the water. Great few night stay. Close enough to the restaurants and stores. A little bit of a rough area in some spots but all areas are like that I suppose.

It's a perfect place to go for some quiet, beauty, and great to take your kids to. Great views, lots of turtles in the bay, not overrun with people. Close to good places to go to and stores. I will be back.

Beautiful mornings on the lanai, drinking coffee and watching the waves. Kite boarder in the windy afternoons was awesome to watch. Boogie boards and beach chairs were in the closet and ready to use every day. Everything we needed was there. The birds cooing and singing constantly. Very central location. Just very nice

This was a perfect condo for our family trip. We had a grandma with us and a teenager. There were two big bedrooms plus a couch that could be used as a bed. The place has the best lanai ever-could've spent the whole trip on it, watching and listening to the waves. The kitchen is well set up for cooking and the fans keep the air circulating. Love the nearness of the beach and how easy it is to get all over kihei.

Coming from a landlocked state, the views at this condo are exactly as pictured. I'm sitting on the lanai listening to the waves rolling in with my morning coffee on our last day here. We're sad to be leaving for another island and absolutely loved our stay! This condo has everything we needed for a nice, relaxing trip to Maui.

We had a wonderful time. Views were amazing! Condo was just as described. We had everything needed. Would love to return! There was 5 adults and we were comfortable. Loved the roof top grills! Pool area was very nice too.

This was our first trip to Maui and we absolutely loved it! The condo was in a fantastic location as we wanted to visit different areas of the island. We loved going down to see turtles most evenings. Would highly recommend and hope to back ourselves someday!

The view is amazing!! Condo had everything we needed to be comfortable and to cook when needed. The pool is nice but that sandy beach by the fish pond is wonderful, calm and daily turtle activity. We would definitely come back. Perfect location.

Condo was as described and comfortable. View is beautiful and the property is perfect for families. There is a protected ride pool, beach to open ocean and swimming pool.

The condo is spacious for our family of 4. Can’t beat the oceanfront view and access to the beach. The atmosphere is laid back and does not feel like you are in a tourist location like other places on the island. I grilled on the rooftop and enjoyed the sunsets. We did so many excursions on this trip and having a quiet place to come back to was perfect.

I cannot say enough good things about this rental! I came with my husband and toddler and it truly felt like a home away from home. The condo was decorated beautifully with thoughtful touches, the kitchen was incredibly well stocked, and the amount of sand toys/chairs/coolers/floaties included was such a nice addition.
For families traveling with small children, or not strong swimmers, the fish pond directly below the building is a game changer. It was amazing to get the beach and ocean experience while being protected from bigger waves/tides/deeper water. Even if the condo itself hadn't been great, I'd consider Menehune Shores again just for that. Of note- my parents joined part of our trip and rented a different unit in the same building; they ended up spending most free time in ours because it was so much nicer.
Communication with the hosts was so easy and really put my mind at ease. Emailed questions prior to our stay were addressed almost immediately, and when I had a question during our stay I received a text reply promptly.
I've been to Maui several times and have stayed in many different areas at both condos and resorts- I would absolutely look to book this condo again.

Unit is in a great location. Property is very quiet. Highlight is the turtles that hang out on the rocks that surround the lagoon.
Parking spaces are tight but never had any issues finding one.

Nice unit for two couples. Separated bedrooms, each with own bathroom. Well stocked kitchen. It was hot during our stay. Only drawback is hot air from the ac blows right onto the balcony when sitting outside.

Christine's home is beautiful! Her condo is just as described, very clean, and the view from the lanai is breathtaking! Christine is very responsive, her condo is well-stocked and we couldn't possibly be any closer to the beach! This home is great for couples and families. I would highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at the condo. We loved the views and having the beach so close. The grounds are lovely and well taken care of. The kitchen is well equipped as is a closet of beach gear. We would definitely stay here again.
July 2022
While a bit small and "cozy", it worked okay for two grand parents and childern - a family of four. Mirror wall presents an impression of more space in main living area. A/C worked well, but when doors were opened up the breeze was enjoyed as well. Kitchen was well furnished - even with a French press for coffee. Indian restaurant on premises was excellent. No hassle check in and exit - all was simple and easy. Extras such as providing beach/pool items and even a couple of small coolers were nice touches.

This condo was probably the best located I've ever stayed at on all of Hawaii. It was quiet in the mornings and evenings, even the pool was relatively mellow. Having a restaurant on site was great too for those lazy evenings (with amazing food and drinks, check 'em out). Just a quick walk or drive into town, lots of options for grocery stores, restaurants, bars and beaches all within a minute or ten away. Condo itself could use a little updating, but was well stocked and equipped for our stay. Lots of coolers, chairs, umbrella & beach towels for your convenience. Kitchen had everything we needed as well (even champagne flutes, SCORE!) Having the washer & dryer inroom was very handy. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.
February 2022
We could not have been more pleased with this property. Although this is an older building, the unit was clean, comfortable, with a million dollar view. We enjoy cooking while on vacation and was pleased to find a well stocked kitchen with condiments to match. Sunsets from the lanai or rooftop are enough to write home about. We definitely will be back.

When I booked this condo, I was wondering if the view pictures were “doctored”…Nope!!! The view is fabulous. Listening to the waves crash all night long from the primary bedroom was so calming. The kitchen is sufficient for any cooking you would like to do, but we ate out a lot. The beds were good. I am used to a firm bed and the primary bed was perfect for me. It also had a topper, so it did not hurt my hips from side-sleeping.
My young-adult 6’4” boys slept in the second bedroom. Then the remaining nights, the younger son used the couch pull-out bed with no complaints. He had more leg room this way.
The shower had good water pressure. A/C was good, ceiling fans also, even the bathrooms.
Parking lot is good. Always found a spot. Location good for visiting all areas of the island.
Overall, this condo was perfect for our needs and has a great view with no direct wind on the balcony.

Easy drive from airport and close to Kihea shops and food. Kitchen small but functional.
Older building and somewhat dated unit but we explored every day so just there in the evenings .
Beds were comfortable. towels available. Fantastic viiew from this unit.

Great location and views are amazing. Condo has everything you need. We did not spend much time in the condo so it worked perfect for a location to rest our heads between adventures. Check out the roof at sunset

Although this is part of a large condo complex, it felt private and crowds were absent. Not sure if it was due to covid or time of year. This unit has a beautiful SW view, that does not get too much direct wind, which was very strong every afternoon. This made the lanai comfortable all day long. Beautiful sunsets from the roof! The beach lagoon was perfect for our 2yr old and sea turtles were abundant everywhere. The unit itself had everything we needed and was clean. The kitchen was a bit dated, but everything works and functioned well for a short visit. The location was very convenient to shops and restaurants. We especially enjoyed nearby Maui Brewing and Maui Gelato.

Management double booked us. We had the cleaning lady barge in, we communicated we were there many more days.
Later we had the double booked tenant walk in. The owners were unhelpful and unapologetic, and the property manager basically tried to say it was our fault and we weren’t suppose to be there when we both had a confirmed booking. The whole ordeal was not something I wanted to deal with on vacation. Luckily, the other Tenant was super nice. I sure hope that they helped him out for all the inconvenience they caused.
The condo building itself was in a great location and the beach and pool area were great.
The cleaning needs to be addressed there was dirty dishes put away, crusty pans, and a pile of dirt swept into the corner.
If you do stay you gotta head up to the rooftop for the sunset conch shell ceremony.

We really enjoyed this unit! Views were lovely. Lots of ocean, beach, and lush shoreline grounds next door and along the shoreline in one direction. Easy beach access . Make sure the unit you rent has beach chairs as the resort does not have any really except a few around the pool. Our unit did have a few which was great. One was broken however so maybe ask about chair count if you book. Owners were wonderful to deal with and we would definitely stay again!!! Thanks for sharing your little slice of heaven with us all! Mahalo!

We have visit Maui for over 40 years. We have stayed at this property many times. It is the location we find is central for us. The condo has well maintained facilities.

The location is pretty central to everything. The cleanliness of the condo itself needs addressing. One of the toilet handles was almost broken off and the toilet runs. The floor made our bare feet almost black. We would have mopped the floor but nothing to use for that purpose. Caked on dirt on all the fans. Don’t think the lanai has been cleaned either and realize due to it being outdoors close to the ocean is a factor but a plastic bag was sticking out from behind the air conditioning unit and could tell it had a been there for a very long time! We did have a wonderful time in Maui but will consider a different unit next time.

This condo is comfortable, clean, well stocked, and has a perfect view of paradise! It is very comfortable for a family, and although calling the elevator can sometimes take awhile, it was wheelchair friendly. It’s location was central to our itinerary and we enjoyed our home away from home. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend this condo!

Loved our month here. Great spot to be - close to all the attractions. Condo was very comfy and kitchen is well stocked. Beautiful view from the lanai. We could watch the whales every day and the sunsets at night. The complex is immaculate and the people are friendly. The rooftop deck is a big bonus. Four very clean grills and picnic tables up there and the view was just amazing. There was a rooftop sunset ceremony every night. Would definitely recommend this spot and Crinstine was great to work with.

It was a joy to relax in such a nice condo for ten days. It was appointed nicely as it felt like home. The building was quiet and very well maintained. Had a great view of the beach from the lanai and waking up to the sound of the waves was incredible. Would highly recommend a stay in the future.

amily of six, two grandparents, two parents and two kids. Had everything we needed, all staff and residents were very nice. The beach is great, not crowded, the fish pin was awesome for my youngest and for when we did not want to fight waves. Pool was good but not needed because the fish pond was so tame. Saw turtles, blue lobster shell, next to the whale foundation. Great location, out of the busy area so u can go into kihei and back quickly.

My family had a great vacation in this condo and would recommend it to friends. The unit has everything you need and more. We appreciated the A/C and ceiling fans. We had fun swimming with the turtles right in front of the building. I will definitely rent it again if given the chance. Thanks to the owners for our last minute changes and for accommodating our family.

We were in town for another function and would have limited time to go to the beach, etc. so this place was perfect. We were able to cook some meals in the condo but restaurants were nearby when we wanted to eat out. Being directly on the beach was also perfect for when we only had a brief amount of free time - we could easily and quickly grab the boogie boards that came with the condo and walk right down to the non-crowded beach in front. I loved waking up to the sound and views of the waves and swaying palm trees. The unit was super quiet, the remodeled bathrooms were clean, the washer and dryer was helpful, the lanai was peaceful, parking was plenty, and the A/C and ceiling fans kept us comfortable. There were some issues with how the previous guests left the dishes (greasy pans and broken plates, food dried on) and we encountered some issues with the pullout couch but we ran everything through the dishwasher again and rewashed the bedding and all was fine after that. The owners are very easy to communicate with and respond quickly and politely. This was a good value and if we are ever in Kihei again, we will check its availability.

We had an amazing time stay. The condo was better than expected. It was stocked with everything you could need...beach chairs, snorkel equipment, coolers, beach towels....and an amazing view. We felt right at home from the very beginning. The owners are very nice to work with (even got to meet them)! It was perfect for our family of 4! The location is great, perfect swimming area for anyone. Not far at all from the airport, Costco, etc. I would rent it again and definitely recommend it to everyone. Thank you Brent and Christine for allowing us to stay in your piece of paradise!!!
December 2010
Have stayed at this unit twice now and highly recommend it. The unit has been upgraded and has truly everything you would want for a stay. The pictures on VRBO are true pictures of the actual unit. The location is great - near to the shops and amenities of Kihei but with a wonderful beach for those long walks. Brent and Christine are wonderful to deal with - answered every query promptly. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. When in the area be sure to book a snorkel tour with Trilogy - they are definitely the best.
