The condo has a world class view that we enjoyed on the lanai. The condo is decorated beautifully and is very well stocked. The kitchen has everything you need. The property is well landscaped and has a great pool and outside grills for cookouts. The rooftop has gas grills, tables and an incredible view. The only complaint we had was that we weren’t informed that the pool was going to be closed the week of our stay. That lack of communication was a concern.

Very impressed overall. The posting and pictures were accurate. The view from the Lanai was perfect, the rooftop area was a perk. The fish pond was wonderful, allowed my kids to be free in the space without having to worry so much about the surf from the breakwater surround. They did see turtles every time they went out, I think there are a few that like to call the rocks home.
This condo had everything you could need. Lots of towels, bedding, beach supplies, A/C, ceiling fans, extra fans, the best stocked kitchen I have ever used, including Tupperware for leftovers or picnics.
I would highly recommend Unit 505 at Menehune Shores.
Cons: Bathrooms could use a deep clean/refresh. The A/C unit on the Lanai expels very warm air when it is running and still some all the time when A/C is off. Not a real issue but in the evening when the kids were in bed and I wanted to sit on the lanai but also cool the interior down it was not pleasant and then during the day when sitting out on the lanai it could still be felt when AC was off. (not sure why). This was an issue for me and my mom (COPD) but maybe not for most. I found a very strong scent in the Master bedroom (front bdrm ok), it was not an odor but a strong air freshener-type smell. It was almost constant and even when I had all windows and doors open it was still there. I never found the source, but the onsite manager and Jim were very responsive to my concern. We just couldn't stay again for that reason. Mahalo

The condo was clean & decor nicely done but we had a couple of issues. The television instructions weren’t accurate and viewing options very limited without major networks. The large tv in the bedroom didn’t have cables or power cord so it was just a shell. In the bedroom there is a recurring buzzing hum that cycles every minute or so and lasts for about 8 seconds. This is very disturbing. To top it off the pool was closed this week for an annual cleaning which was not noted when we made our reservation. Too bad for the shortcomings because this condo would have been one we would have recommended.

Amazing views from the balcony, very central to food and shopping easy to get in and out. Place was as described. Definitely would recommend.

The house is at great location, parking was easy, close to beach, excellent views. Air condition is not specified in amenities, so it has no AC. Luckily there were many fans provided, so it wasn't that bad. Also carry your own shampoo and bodywash. Everything else was great about this place, especially the views.

The VRBO property was clean, accommodating, and cozy. The owner saw to every detail down to beach chairs, beach towels, and although our kids are big, she even had sand toys and boogie boards. We loved the view, beds were comfy, and felt very much like home! The description and photos of the property were spot on! It was a wonderful stay!

We had an amazing stay at this top-floor corner unit! The condo was incredibly clean and well-maintained, with everything we needed provided. Waking up each morning and enjoying our coffee while gazing out at the ocean from the balcony was an absolute highlight. The beach is right next to the condos, and we loved being able to walk along the shore so easily.
The unit itself was very comfortable for our group of four, and having two bathrooms was a major plus. We had air conditioning in both bedrooms and the living room, which kept the space cool and comfortable. We were also pleasantly surprised by how much we appreciated having a ceiling fan in the bathroom—something we didn’t even know we needed!
Overall, this condo exceeded our expectations and made our vacation feel like a home away from home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay by the ocean!

This condo had everything we needed to feel at home. Great location in Kihei. Close to restaurants and shopping. Beach right there with turtles resting each morning. Pool was great for the kids as was the pack-n-play provided for our toddler. Nice view from balcony of beach, pool and sunsets. Communication with host Mark was good. Would stay here again.

The condo Azure Bay was awesome! Clean, impressively decorated, while only a short drive to restaurants and shopping. The grounds were immaculate. This condo had everything we needed to feel the comforts of home while experiencing the fun of Maui. Great views from the ocean-front balcony with relaxing breakfasts in the morning and stunning sunsets in the evening. We even cooked on one of the many outdoor BBQs that were cleaned daily. We traveled with family so seeing the turtles on the beach nearby was a highlight for the kids. Communication with May, the host, was great from the time we booked right on through our visit. We wish we could have stayed here longer, but do plan to reserve again the next time we come to Maui.

Kehei is a great central location on the island and this rental was perfect. We enjoyed the fishpond, saw the many turtles that hang out on the rocks in the morning. The rental as as described and we felt safe and at home.

The condo hit all the major requirements. Two bedrooms with one having two beds for kids. The condo is on the beach. It is a good spot for wading or letting little kids swim.

The view was nice, although you can’t see the sunset, not a full view of the ocean. The bathrooms were clean and there were no bugs. I think all the condos in Maui are on the smaller side. Warning, the ac unit is only in the main room making the bedrooms very toasty at night. The ceiling fans did little to help. Had a few issues with electricity in the unit and the property manager was quick to respond and send someone to check on it. Overall the property manager was great at answering questions. It was an ok unit, nothing fancy but did have a nice walking beach out the front of the condo unit.

The property was in one word....PERFECT! As depicted. Zero surprises. The sunrise and sunset views of an unobstructed beach, palm trees, bay and not to mention...Sea Turtles resting on the sand/rocks each morning (5m walk)...were AMAZING. Helen and Mark were OUTSTANDING! The property hosts were extremely flexible with several of our “unique requests” and responded to all of our msgs immediately. Will definitely stay at this property (Room#) again. Northside of Kihei was a good choice with easy access to all roads for island exploration. A 15m direct shot to the airport, too. Highly recommended. Stay Lahaina Strong! ~Mahalo~ M/L N. & K/M M. :)

We visited Maui for my brother’s wedding. We absolutely adored our accommodations. Everything was exactly as listed. We read other reviews which were accurate. The view is the best I’ve see. In years. The location is perfect proximity for shopping and exploring. The hosts were the BEST and very attentive. Will definitely stay here again.

We stayed at this condo for the unobstructed ocean view, which was beautiful! You can't get much closer to the water! The space was large enough for our party of 6 adults. We loved being able to walk directly outside onto the grounds which are perfectly manicured. Jim is a very proactive and communicative host. He gave us plenty of good suggestions for our visit to Maui. The property staff were also very friendly when we spoke to them. Thank you for sharing your Maui home with us!

It was our first time to visit Maui and this condo was the perfect place to stay! Location, check in/out, amenities, communication with owner all 10 outta 10! The view from the balcony and proximity to the beach was amazing! I could sit on the balcony all day. The no A/C is no issue at all. Open the windows and feel the ocean breeze. We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo for sharing your beautiful home with us.
Our group was us (married couple), 1 pair of inlaws and a 2 year old.

Clean well equipped condo in a perfect central location! Owners provided everything we needed this week-beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, full kitchen, and games. View from Lanai was beautiful. Turtles right on the beach in front of condos. Perfect jumping off point for our travels around the island. We even got a phone call checking in ahead of tropical storm Hone arriving. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

It was our first visit to Maui. We knew we were going to be doing it all while we were visiting. This was an excellent location for that. We were able to get to all the different spots on the island from this location. It was great to come back after an adventurous day and enjoy the pool, beach, or just sitting on the lanai. My youngest son explored snorkeling for the first time in the little fish pond off the property. We also saw sea turtles in that area!
The property was equipped with everything!! After almost a 24 hr day of travel, it was so nice to arrive with everything available. The beach amenities were great on our beach days. The washer and dryer was used daily after a day of hiking or day at the beach! I highly recommend this condo!

The listing was accurate, the property had everything we needed. A great touch were the coolers, snorkels, chairs, boogie boards, and beach umbrella.
In need of some updates, but clean and perfect for our stay. The location was great, close to stores, food trucks, and the beach. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

This was a great pick for my family with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Kihei is a great area of the island to visit and stay in. We loved heading south to the amazing beaches we read about in our travel guide, like Big Beach to name one. Also, the kitchen was great to prep meals in. The A/C unit on the front porch made it a bit uncomfortable sitting next to the hot air blowing out of it... it was only comfortable sitting on the porch when A/C was not needed inside.
Only problem we had was with the main coffee table in the living room. It's a large block of wood about 50 pounds possibly that was only resting on the legs, they were not attached. My daughter pulled the table towards her early in our stay and the top of the table slid off of the legs and onto her foot. I'd recommend getting that switched out or attached firmly so no other guests would have the same issue.
Overall, an amazing place to stay! We had a great time, thank you!

Simply amazing place in Maui! Clean, comfortable and easily accessible to everything in Kihei and Wailea. When we arrived the place was spotless and better than advertised. The view is actually even better than advertised!
This was a perfect place for our family of four and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place in Maui.

My daughter and I stayed with my parents at this wonderful condo. We were very comfortable and marveled over the stunning views. Every morning and evening we would take the short walk to see the turtles resting - amazing! We loved the pool and going to Ululani’s for shave ice. It was great having a washer/dryer in unit. Great location, great communication with Joe, easy keyless entry into the unit and the pool. Overall, just wonderful and I hope to come back one day!

The owner thought about a lot of little things to make our stay great. The black out shades, the Sleep Number bed, all the appliances, pots and pans and kitchen gadgets. There were instructions for everything. The view is amazing and the turtles were amazing to see right outside the condo.

The condo was so comfortable, was stocked with everything we needed, and the host was responsive to all our communications. The only thing in the unit that was a bit difficult was the sliding doors to the lanai. We spent a lot of time out there and they could have been easier to open and close. And unfortunately, with the unit being close to the street, traffic noise often interfered with us hearing the ocean.

We already miss the ocean views and walks on the beach. The unit worked great for our family and we especially enjoyed the supplied beach amenities as we were on the beach a ton. Sharon was very responsive and accumulating as host. Mahalo!

My family of 5 had a wonderful time in Maui and this property was perfect for us. Spacious, clean, incredible views, and all the comforts of home. The Maui winds are crazy!! But they act as a perfect climate control with the windows open. The pool was great and not too crowded at all. And the beach was right next door. If you wake up early you can see the turtles at the beach! Great location. Many options for dining, shopping, and activities about 1-2 miles down the road. Katie is very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.
