This is a lovely property. Beach is walkable but really need a car for grocery & dining out. Issues ( now resolved): We were confused getting in with code as we tried key box but needed to use touch screen. We arrived on a very hot day so needed AC. Unfortunately the unit in oceanfront bedroom was broken. We had 3 maintenance visits until repaired on our final day—thankfully it cooled off so couple in front bedroom only had one bad night. While AC was desired, and floor fan provided the second night, it was not relaxing to us to have to deal with on vacation. Also promised replacement of dining chair didn’t happen…not a big deal but more of a communication issue.

We had a great stay! This was our 10 visit to Menehune Shores and 1st in 519 as we needed a 2 bedroom…communication was great, very accurate add description, many amenities…
We have great responses and reviews from our previous stays as we ALWAYS leave the unit as we receive it or sometimes better…we had a brief walkthrough with the cleaning lady, showed her that she had little to do and left her a generous tip…
The carpet was older…it is an off white with dark threads marbled throughout…it had pre existing stains, not terrible, but visable and I understand as I have similar in my home…
I received an email that the insurance protection I purchased was being used and charged for carpet cleaning…shouldn’t be a big deal as it wasn’t coming out of my pocket however insurance fraud doesn’t sit well with me nor should it anyone…
The owner apologized and stated she had it steam cleaned the day before we checked in.
Common knowledge, old stains WILL AND DO reappear after the carpet dries. The carpet was neither wet nor damp as we ALWAYS remove our shoes at the entry way…
I am disappointed in her attempt at commuting insurance fraud for her own benefit and urge you caution when considering this unit as we know not the limit or lengths she’ll take to upgrade at the renters expense…
Never again will we consider this unit.
I have submitted proof and pictures to the insurance company, VRBO, and the property as warning.

We had the most wonderful stay! Condo is incredibly well stocked with everything we needed and then some. It is just as pictured and so comfortable. We spent a lot of time watching whales from the lanai. Close enough to everything we wanted to do- less than 10 min to south Kihei beaches, restaurants and shopping, 15 min to Wailea. 15 min to the harbor for boat/snorkel tours. The beach out front is gorgeous. We had the most incredible trip!!

My wife, her mother and I stayed here for 6 nights. Nice place, free parking, great views of the ocean & beach. Lots of room for us, good air conditioning in the bedrooms.
We would love to stay here again some day.

The property was exactly like the photos. The host provided everything needed to easily check in and start enjoying the vacation. Property is located in a great location to access beautiful beaches, food, and other attractions. Would definitely stay again when visiting Maui.

Excellent property. Clean, quiet, and well prepared. Easy access to the beach. Nice ocean view. Perfect location - less than 20 minute drive to OGG airport. Easy access to retails and restaurants in Kihei. The host is great - very responsive. Will revisit if I come back to Maui.

Beautiful condo with amazing views. We watched whales breach from the lanai. The property is well maintained and is centrally located, but quiet. The screen doors on the front of the unit allow you to keep the door open so the breeze flows from back to front of the unit.

Throw out all the broken appliances, get rid of at least one coffeemaker. Please have a working blender. Replace pillows with something less hard.

Beautifully updated and well appointed, comfortable condo. Views are amazing. We enjoyed the beach, swimming among turtles and tropical fish and watching people fish and kite surf. The location of the condo is great. Close to the elevator and views to the west. Communication was excellent too.

My friends and I had a great stay at your unit. It is well maintained, clean, quiet and you obviously take pride in ownership. I would suggest a couple of things- a box of Kleenex tissues would be a simple and inexpensive addition, second, the front door probably could use some minor attention because it does not close on its own (you have to pull a bit to get it closed) and finally, you need to have a degree in rocket science to successfully operate the television, even with the printed instructions. I hasten to add that none of these things had any impact on our visit, just some casual observations that we noted. Otherwise, we were very pleased with our stay and would come back on another occasion assuming you would have us. Mahalo and aloha, Dennis Morrissey and Bob and Maggi Cathey.

We thought the condo was beautiful and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay! We especially loved the views, and enjoyed them every moment we were there. It was super easy to book and access the condo. It was close to shopping and restaurants. The small beach adjacent was nice to enjoy one morning. We also loved having beach chairs and towels ready for us too. Thank you!

The beach and view are great but the condo needs to be upgraded, still in the 70s. It was a mix leading. The doors don’t close front and patio. We had to put cardboard in the corners of doors and windows because it make a lot of noise when the wind blew. Also, the kitchen had bucks, perhaps, the cleaning charge should be returned to me.

This is our second stay at Menehue Shores and first in this condo. This was a family trip celebrating multiple retirements. Malinee was excellent as a property manager to communicate with and was able to meet all of our needs including arranging packages we provided in multiple condos. Mahalo Malinee. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and a new dishwasher was installed while we were there. The views are a slice of heaven. We were able to walk the beach and snorkel daily. You will sea turtles daily in the King’s Bath, and we were lucky enough to see a monk seal resting in the bath. That was a first! The air conditioning works amazingly. You need to make sure the lanai sliding doors and windows are shut tight or it won’t turn on. Our first half of the stay are family members preferred it, but the last part of our stay we opened everything wide open and listened to the ocean at night. The trade winds were stronger then we remember this time around. Great for sitting on lanai and no need for air, not so great for snorkeling. I recommend getting out early to snorkel. Snorkeling with white caps is not recommended.
We love the feel of Kihei, a little less touristy. I recommend a trip to the ABC store, and farmer’s market on your way to Menehue Shores on Kihei Rd. On the way in from airport. There is also a bakery and Shave ice in that same little area. We stopped at Costco in Kahului for meat and other items.
The only negative is the coffee pot. It is difficult to fill and leaks when you pour. A simple Mr. Coffee would be a better investment. Otherwise this condo was top notch and we definitely would stay here again! Mahalo!
Recommendations: Calypso Snorkeling tour to Molokini and Turtle Town. Road to Hana via a tour. Haleakala at Sunrise followed by biking down. IAO Valley for a beautiful morning hike. Old Royal Lahaina Luau was a first this year and well worth it. Although Feast of LeLe was good too. If you want to book Mama’s Fish House book it 6 months or more out. We regret not doing that! Paia is an adorable town for shopping and Milagro’s for drinks and Mexican food. Baldwin Beach is a nice beach there. Check out Moose McGillicuddies for drinks and appetizers at sunset. Great views.

The view from this condo was perfect! There is a park/beach next door so all you see is sand, trees and beautiful ocean. The place was clean and well taken care of. Check in was easy. It was a bit of a hike into central Kihei but we hopped on the bus (didn’t have a car) which stopped just outside and it was a super quick ride into the heart of things.

We stayed 3 nights at the end of our trip at this condo and it was great. The little cove sectioned off in the water in front of the building had so many turtles and fish it was awesome. It was easy to get to restaurants and stores. The condo we very clean and had an amazing view from the balcony . They even had beach chairs, coolers, and all the extras for you to enjoy your stay. I highly recommend this place!!!

This condo felt like home! Enjoyed waking up and hearing the waves with my cup of coffee. Place had beach gear, comfortable beds, and everything you will need for your stay. AC was fantastic after a day at the beach. Next time we are in Maui will definitely be renting this condo again. We are sad to be leaving!

Couldn't ask for more. It was perfect for our family of 4 (husband + 2 boys - 16 & 12). First off, the view is amazing from the lanai (and master bedroom). We always have our morning coffee, enjoy the sunset and late night cocktail there. Location is perfect (close to everything). We didn't have to buy anything as everything we needed was provided for (beach chair, shopping bag, boogie board). They have an umbrella but we didn't use it. The unit is really amazing.
We had a problem with wifi but it was quickly taken cared of. Melissa was very responsive.
Oh, I really appreciate the air conditioner in the bedrooms and the living room. It made the super hot weather bearable.
We'll be a repeat clients for sure. We love it here!
