Nice place with good view!

Very well-appointed and perfect for short or long stays—with longer stays highly recommended. Property manager is responsive and accommodating. Lots of food options within a short drive, including a tasty Indian restaurant onsite. A

Loved the amenities and proximity to the beach. Communication with the host was superb.

The condo was spotless and in a great location. The criticism we have is that the wall is mirrored which is deceiving in the pictures - we thought it was going to be bigger.Otherwise, it was the perfect size for 4 adults. Great beach access and location as well. Owner was super responsive.

When we entered the unit the first thing we noticed was the amazing view of the ocean. We spent every evening watching the sunset behind the palms and enjoyed coffee in the morning. The unit was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. We never used the a/c because with the cross breeze and fans the condo was always comfortable. The water was a bit choppy so snorkeling wasn’t possible but we were able to enjoy the beach area and had lunch on the rooftop (just be aware there is no shade up there). Overall we had a wonderful time and wouldn’t hesitate to rent the condo again.

This property was fantastic. We could not have asked for anywhere better to stay. The condo was fabulous and outfitted with everything you would need to enjoy a stay in Maui. The park right next door allowed for viewing the sea turtles lounging on the rocks during the day and coming onto the beach in the evenings. The only bad part was having to leave. If we ever return to Maui, this is the only place we want to stay. Thanks for a great vacation spot and for allowing us to use your paradise getaway.

Location is excellent. On water. Pool. Yet still close To Kihei shops,, Wailea/Makena, airport etc. perfect accommodation for two with a balcony overlooking water, sunsets, and marine activity. The hosts were responsive when we had questions. They provided extras like beach coolers, folding chairs, and a beach umbrella. We would definitely return for a stay.

This location worked for our needs. We were only on Maui for the 3 day Maui Invitational and did not really sight see. The only complaint is that the parking stalls were too small for our Ford Expedition. The unit had a nice view of the ocean and pool area.

We loved staying at this condo, everything was clean, easy self check in process, and close to everything. I appreciated that Christine was always prompt with communication and that she keeps up with extermination at her condo because we saw NO roaches, which is a deal breaker for me. The best part of the mornings here is listening to the birds sing and having coffee on the balcony.while enjoying the amazing view. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent easy access to a calm shallow beach for kids. We saw sea turtles everyday! Plenty of beach towels and water toys. We would stay here again for future trips to Maui.

These hosts not only designed this amazing beachfront condo to look amazing with modern appliances and amenities, super comfortable bed and convenient building and parking access - they made us feel truly at home, a home away from home. This place makes us feel like coming to Maui annually so that we can visit this beautiful place as we call it home for our stay. Couldn’t say enough good things, don’t hesitate to book and care for this place like your own. Simply epic

We loved this condo...the view, the sound of the waves, the peacefulness. Marianne was very responsive to our texts. We hope to return again.

We have been dreaming and saving up to take our family to Hawaii for years. When we saw flight deals to Maui we jumped at the chance to finally make that dream come true. I wanted a place that had an ocean view and we could easily walk to the beach. Sande and Bob’s place was perfect. The location in Kihei was the perfect central location to for all of the things on our list of things to do and places to see. We could easily get to Wailea-Makena and Lahaina. The airport and Costco were just 20 mins away. The rental had beach chairs, umbrellas, a couple of boogie boards, snorkel gear sets, mini cooler. Honestly everything you need for beach days. They even had some hydrogen peroxide that came in clutch for my son who got a really bad case of swimmers ear in the middle of the night. We loved being able to walk out to the beach each morning and listen to the waves and even saw sea turtles a couple of mornings chilling on the beach in the little bay next to the condo. Highly recommended this to any couples or smaller families visiting Maui. Sande was so sweet and quick to respond to any questions we had. Which if I had only read my emails I would’ve seen Sande had already thought of and answered them before we even got there. Thank you Sande and Bob for making our kids first trip to Hawaii so amazing.

Location was fantastic. Beautiful sunset viewing right from the lanai.

November 2024

Very nice grounds. Near beach and lot's of turtles. Pretty much everything you need in the condo. The 4 beach chairs and umbrella are pretty well used, but hey, lot's of places don't provide those amenities. (One thing, if you are looking for a place that has a fitness center, this property doesn't have one). Kitchen well stocked with what's needed. We enjoyed our stay and would book again.

This is our 3rd stay in Kihei. We absolutely loved the location as the beach wasn't crowded. The condo had everything we needed and more. The roof top views were amazing!

November 2024

Love the property - we have stayed at Menehune Shores for over 30 years and think this unit rates as one of the top. Although it is west facing, the unit doesn't get hit directly with the afternoon sun. We'll be back! One thing you might consider would be to move the couch so it is facing the lanai, not the other wall. That way the guest can look straight out at the water instead of turning their heads. Just a thought! Thank you so much.

My GF and I had the most amazing stay. The location is perfect. The views are breath taking and look just like the photos. Pamela was wonderful to work with and very communicative. The space has everything you would want including beach towels, snorkeling gear, and beach chairs. Kitchen has everything you need for a stress free stay. Parking was easy as well. We even requested some extra cleaning supplies and Pamela dropped off what we requested the same day. They are wonderful and we had a perfect stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After our first sleepless night on Maui @ Maui Sunset #A320 (terrible beds confirmed by their maintenance man along with lack of attention to other things, including cleanliness. Char and her boss @ Rentals Maui generously agreed to move our reservation to Menehune Shores #422. Overall a lovely place,location, and great view. However, the beds again were in need of replacement. The master bulged very noticiably on the side without any weight on it and was very uncomfortable. The first bedroom had no a/c and was on the street side so if the window was left open for breeze the road noise was disturbing. It would mellow out late at night, but trucks and some cars could still be heard throughout the night. We discovered that the bed consisted of two very used twins pushed together to make a king. The problem was that to compensate for the poor mattresses three foam toppers along with 3 mattress pad covers were used which made it sag even worse. Sadly our vacation left us very sleep deprived and with alot of back pain. One last problem: the a/c mini split in the master bedroom has an additional electrical box below the unit (a relay switch?) that intermittantly & continually buzzes whether the unit is off or on. So, we were frustrated and miserable due to lack of sleep and resultant pain. We are older (in our early 70's) and it is possible that younger bodies could tolerate the poor beds better, but why should that be?Again, the place was very nice other than the most important thing - the beds and the lack of a.c. in 1st bedroom. We could not recommend the unit at this time.Thank you to Rentals Maui.It would be helpful if there was a way to inspect bed condition in the units or have record of their age and condition.

The property is in North Kihei, which is less congested. You can't walk to anything but everything is a short car ride. The unit was nice, not luxurious. There is a small beach adjacent to the property. In front of the property is a break wall which protected the shore and made swimming/snorkeling better, especially for yougner children. The grounds were well manicured. Every morning the sea turtles would come in and hang around the break wall which was fun to see.

November 2024

This property was wonderful!! Beautiful kitchen with koa cabinets, top appliances, ice maker and water filter in the fridge. The kitchen had everything we needed! I loved the master bedroom. The king size bed was very comfortable. I'm one of those people who is light sensitive at night and loved the plantation shutters and the bamboo textured, light darkening shade for the sliding door. Awesome AC! Anything we needed, it was there! Our married daughters stayed in two other condos at Menehune Shores at the same time and I loved mine the best! I would certainly love to stay there again!

November 2024

The apartment is very nice. Had everything we needed. A nice quiet location right on the beach. Beautiful sunsets from the lanai. Having carpet was odd but it seemed clean enough. If you are taller than 6 feet, the shower is short. The fan in the bedroom needs to be replaced with a newer and/or better one. It was too noisy to leave on at night. Before booking, I asked the owner if it had a king size bed. He couldn’t remember. For your info, it’s a queen. Which was fine but he should know and put it in the ad. The cleaners need to focus on the “extras”. Like the dining room chandelier and the top of the fans had half an inch of dirt on them.

We were attracted to this unit due to advertising this was a, “freshly remodeled penthouse”! While is is on the top floor of 6 story complex and does have a good view, calling it a penthouse is a stretch! In reality it is a typical 2 bed 2 bath circa 1975 condo! The unit had tired furniture and infrastructure as noted by the backup of our kitchen sink our second day requiring us to waste en entire day meeting with repair personnel! Oddly enough, the repair of a glogged drain resulted in the removal of garbage disposal that was functioning approximately This will be a problem for future guests! The grounds have an on site restaurant that is Indian themed! Lunch and dinner only is served! Only 4 lounge chairs on the lawn and all were chained together; obviously if one was being used the other three would have to stay all chained together m! Beach is attractive from a distance but is very rocky and not swimming friendly. The TV remote did not work and apparently this was known as the repair folks tried to fix it upon our arrival! It has a small pool filled with children and no umbrellas! My husband and I discussed it, if offered the same property in the future for half price, we would decline!

Condo was beautifully maintained with gorgeous views. Close to everything. Everyone enjoyed the time they had here. Thanks for sharing your lovely place.

Incredible views from this one bedroom condo. About a mile from down the road from the food and shopping. There is a nice pool but you can also go to the small sandy beach located next to the property. The complex has a break wall so there is a nice calm area to snorkel and see a variety of fish in the rocks. The turtles also like to hang out by the wall. I saw more turtles here than on our snorkeling trip. The unit has all the basics and is reasonably priced. We got our money's worth just having coffee on the balcony in the morning.

We had a wonderful experience. Everything was just as it was pictured and worked! We enjoyed our stay and we highly recommend! We enjoyed a great family reunion and fit a lot of activities in a short amount of time

The condo was nicely updated. Good location, quick walk straight to beach. Close to shopping, other beaches, restaurants and an awesome food truck spot I seen on YouTube. Loved the rooftop view and grills. We took advantage of the grills close to the pool too. We had a problem with the tv in the living room. Called the property manager and it was resolved quickly. Only one bedroom had a tv. Whoever is doing the cleaning needs to focus more on the floors. They were dirty. Needs a good mopping. Also an extra set of towels per bathroom would be great.

The property is great and our unit was excellent. We stayed in a three bedroom unit which was perfect for our family of four adults three kids and a teenager. The property is right on the beach and has a very nice pool. The Kehei area has lots to do and has many great places to eat. Communication with the property manager was excellent.

This location is hard to beat- right on the beach, great beach walking and wading and the grounds are beautifully maintained. The unit itself was comfortable though it could benefit from some upgrades (kitchen, bath, bedding) but all in all, we enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay at menehune shores! We have stayed in many vacation rentals in Kihei and also used to live just blocks from here. The condo had everything we needed, and the property managers were willing to bring something if they didn’t have it on site. Check in was a breeze as well as communication with the property management during our stay. We had a maintenance issue that was addressed and fixed super quickly. Didn’t impact our stay negatively at all. Tons of beach equipment, towels and things to enjoy Maui Beaches. I loved the proximity to the beach in front of the condo. Perfect for morning walks and sunset. Great AC, though the timers were a bit of a bummer at night as we woke up hot and had to turn them back on. Having lived in Maui I completely understand energy costs, so I understand why they would have them. Again, no biggy, the AC worked great! Overall we had a great time and would absolutely stay here again!

Menehune Shores is an all-in-one inclusive destination. Awesome condos with ocean views, immaculate grounds, beach access, pool, restaurant/bar and plenty of parking. I honestly think it’s the best destination in Maui. We have been several times now. Some condos are more updated than others so be mindful when you select your unit. The fall is a great time to go because it’s not hot— it’s just right. And the crowds are somewhere else. Can’t wait to go again. Aloha!

This condo is beautiful and we stayed there 11/5-10/2024. It’s located on the 1st floor which is nice since you have direct access to the backyard grass area and water. The views are spectacular and has amazing sunsets. We have stayed at this location before in different condos (different floors too) and have absolutely loved this location. It’s safe, has easy access to the beach, pool and is peaceful. This condo was clean, has a full kitchen that’s loaded with everything you need (however we ate out each night at local food trucks around Kihei). The condo was stocked with extra towels and blankets if needed. Comfy furniture too. They have a beautiful porch area (Tip; to feel the breeze you can put the chairs in the grass area in front of the porch and enjoy the breeze). A few things we noticed that would be helpful to know; Most of the information you are provided in the email upon arrival is incorrect. Our email had contact info which was outdated (except for the owner info, that was correct). The Wi-Fi info also outdated so make sure to find Wi-Fi info located inside the condo. (We had to reset their modem) Also there is no functioning lockbox containing keys (as stated in email) as the code provided to gain access to condo goes to the keypad on the front door. We were very disappointed that the front screen door’s lock was broken because it would have been nice to have the cross breeze from the front to back of condo. Overall a nice clean place.

Our stay was beyond perfect thanks to Katie’s attention to detail and the location. The beach right outside the condo was clean, filled with beautiful turtle sightings and a great location in town. The condo was very well stocked with all the toiletries, beach equipment and kitchen essentials. The condo helped to make our stay wonderful on this beautiful island. I would not hesitate to stay here again!
