Great property, location

Stayed along with people in two other units at this property; ours was by far the favorite! The only change I’d recommend is to install a keyless lock system so check in could be accomplished without having to drive off site for the old fashioned keys. Otherwise, we loved it!! The breeze was cool all day and all night so that we never used the A/C. The entire gang loved coming over for meals and just hanging out. The breakwater made it so easy for the 6&7 year olds to learn to love the ocean. We would definitely return!

LOVED our stay. Great location. Condo was well stocked. Owners were very responsive. Only rated the check in as a four star due to the management company. Stopped at the place per the instructions and nobody was inside (during business hours). She showed up 30 min later and said she was on break. :/ Told me I should have checked my email (I did, said key would be in the box after hours). Despite the minor hiccup the place was fantastic. Condo had some activities. Beach was OK here but very close to a lot of other ones. Would absolutely stay here again.

The location and amenities of this property have something for everyone. Turtles were right there on the beach every day! The fishpond is shallow and great for those new to the ocean waters. The beach to the north is ideal for playing in the waves with soft sand and an easy slope. The beach to the south is great for shell hunting and long walks. All within steps of the property. For those not into salt water, the pool is relaxing and warmed by the sun! The unit is clean and has enough separation between bedrooms that you can't hear others snore! The AC was a huge bonus and the couch is very comfy. The rental staff (where you get the keys) were super helpful. Things to know - the beds are actual mattresses, not memory foam. They are comfy, but I know my son and his wife were surprised. I would suggest it's time to invest in some new sheets, they are a bit worn, and a real table (currently a folding one) for the lanai, but none of this dampened our vacation. The whale information center next door was informative as well. I'm already looking for open dates to return, great place, great price, great time.

The property is very well groomed and cared for. The pool is the clean and maintained. Real Aloha feeling here.

First the positives: The location on Maui and in Kihei allows easy access to so many parts of the island. It was a great launching point for our Maui stay! Within the property this unit is a GREAT location. Very close to the elevator, good view of the pool and fishing pond, close to shuffleboard courts. Good sunset view (although we went to the roof too). The unit is well appointed with the kitchen and other items. Our 2 critiques: 1) The back sliding glass door doesn't work properly and it was frustrating. I booked this property 14 months in advance, and even at that time there were year old reviews complaining about the sliding door getting off its track and not closing properly. That means this is a 2+ year old problem. On day 1 it slightly got off track and I quickly fixed it I thought about those reviews and chuckled about it being no big deal. Then on day 2 the entire door got off track and we spent 15 minutes trying to lift it up and get it fixed to close again. Once we got it closed we told our kids that we all had to use the other door in the master bedroom if we wanted to go out back. Secondly, the mattresses/bedding were average for the price of the unit. We stayed in 5 properties during this trip to the islands and this was the only one that we commented about the bedding not being great. I would give 4.5 stars if I could. I'm sharing these 2 critiques with the hope that they can improve. Overall this is still a great location

It was a perfect unit for the four of us, beautiful ocean view and it has everything you need. Relaxing ocean breeze, watching the huge turtles in the morning through the patio or go downstairs and walk few steps to see them upclose. Accessible to everything, very Close to the supermarket to get all the things u need. It was a very relaxing vacation.

Beautiful views so close to the beach, very clean, spacious balcony, beach chairs and umbrella. Would stay there again. Only complaint is a lamp is needed in the living room.

Property was just as advertised. Breath taking views as soon as we walked in. If we ever make it back to Hawaii, we would definitely stay here again. Property was well maintained. They have community grills the guests can use and they were immaculate. Every morning the cleaning crew took at least 2 - 3 hours to clean them. They look like they are brand new each morning.

We very much enjoyed staying at Menehune Condo. The kitchen was well stocked with every needed for cooking meals at home. The condo had plenty of beach chairs and snorkel equipment. The lanai was large enough for all and we saw much whale activity. The only downside was the weather. We have been to Maui (Kihei area) many times and have never seen it rain this much and for so many days.

This property was our home for 2 weeks. The condo is lovely. We watched the sunset from the lanai every night and enjoyed the sounds of the ocean waves with our morning coffee. Excellent location for getting around the island. The only negative was having to pick up the keys at a different location.

This condo has a nice view of the bay. A mirrored living room wall made the view of the water and mountain double! : ) The living room furniture and dining table chairs are comfortable. I enjoyed spending time at the beach that was surrounded by a stone wall to make the water calmer. I am scared of being swept out to sea, so it was perfect for me. Sea turtles entered through the little opening and rested on the rocks. The kitchen was well stocked with knives, pots, and pans that are in good shape. I mention this because sometimes in rentals this is not the case. The bedding is quite nice. Regarding the pool access code, if you are an early booker like me, before you leave, double check that the code has not changed. The only reason that I am giving this four stars rather than five is that some of the items in the kitchen were put away dirty, and the sliding glass door to the lanai was tricky. (It got off the track.)

This unit was as described in the VRBO app. Most everything we needed was supplied. Beautiful views and nighttime sounds. Might be a little close to the pool area for some people. Just be aware of this as little kids play in the water. Close to plenty of restaurants and other support facilities. Overall, very pleased with this visit.

We loved our stay at 309. It was conveniently located to all of the key spots in Maui. The view from the balcony was perfect. Owners were always available to answer questions. The only thing I would change is the check-iin process. We landed at 10 pm then had to find the corporation office to pickup the key, then drive to the condo. A passcode would make it a lot easier. Would recommend and would return. Mahalo 🌴🌸

We had a great time staying at the Apt, wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely stay again the next time we come to Maui. When we first arrived it was pitch dark outside and it seemed very dark outside. The parking spaces seemed a little tight for the newly rented minivan but it had just enough space. (We later realized that parking spaces are always tight in Maui).The apt was air conditioned when we arrived so it was nice and cool inside. We got to our apt and was greeted with 10 min fireworks show across the water. We stood outside the patio to enjoy the sea breeze and the firworks. We were able to shower and go to bed right away. The two bathrooms were equiped with clean towels and shower soaps. We were able to head to bed early around 9 pm. When we woke up at 6am, we were able to enjoy the beautiful views of the island, the beach, the pool , and the sounds of nature right outside our room. We were able to make breakfast from the groceries we bought last night and enjoy the sun rise with the family. Through out the stay we were able to relax on the beach and in the pool. The apt were equipped with beach chairs, boogie boards, towels, toys and even a sun umbrella. After the beach we were able to wash our clothing right in the apartment and not worry about wet damp clothing laying around. Nothing beats going on vacation and having things clean and prepared for the next adventure. Our family had a great time and the kids didn't want to leave. Thanks for the great experience Chiu Family September 2022

The condo was amazing the views were spectacular. Watching the sunset from the lenai and Turtles in the morning. Easy to get to pool and beach. The sand is so soft to walk in and out of water. Not big waves it is perfect for little kids to enjoy without being scared. The condo had everything you need to cook a gourmet meal. Beach chairs boogy boards beach towels were available in the condo if needed. Washer and dryer were perfect easy to use. We even had a power outage due to traffic accident on the street 2 hours. There were enough candles and matches that we had light to still enjoy the evening. AC was good just make sure you close all windows and doors you can't have both. When the sunset it was ideal to open up and enjoy the Seabreeze. I definitely recommend this condo to all of my friends and family and Definitely will be coming back. Keiha is a Wonderful place everything is within 35 minute drive like to Lahaina, Napila coast Moma's Fish house and the airport.

The Friday we arrived for our week stay, there was a historic south swell coming in which made the waters cloudy and rough. No worries though…there was so much to do on land that we waited for snorkeling to clear up later that week. The condo was just as pictured and the sunsets were indescribable. Parking was never an issue at the condo. We ran the AC at night, but probably could have made it just fine with no AC. The hosts emailed us some suggestions on things they loved on Maui. This was really helpful and nice. Would definitely, definitely stay here again. Love, love, love Maui !!!

My parents, sister, husband, my two children, and I stayed in two units in this complex in early June 2022. We had to pick up and return keys to the apartment at property management office that was about a mile away. We did not have any trouble with this process. The apartment was clean and well-appointed with plenty of things we were able to use to go out on the beach (beach chairs and towels, boogie boards, etc.). The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Everything was in great condition. The views were amazing and the ocean breeze perfect. It got hot in the apartment around 4:30 pm to around 6 pm. We only wish they had some curtains or shades during that period.

Thank you for the use of your condo. It was clean, well stocked, and the condo management were great to deal with. We were there with family for our daughters wedding, between all of us we had a total of 7 units in the building. Our room and one other were the only units with no type of issue. It was so well stocked, clean, uncluttered and had just the right touch of Hawaii. Thank you again, we would love to book this room again another time. Aloha!

This condo had everything you need. The beach gear was very nice to have. A/c was a plus and the views were great. The location was awesome! We saw turtles on the break wall every morning and one day some monk seals showed up. The facility was very well kept up. With outside community grills, a pool and a great Indian restaurant. All in alll I would 100% recommend.

Menehune Shores Unit 309 is a wonderful condo in the town of Kihei on Maui's west side. 20 minutes from the airport (OGG), in the middle of Wailea and Lahaina. This was not our first stay at Menehune Shores (Kihei) and will not be the last. Unit 309 is as described and better. Clean, well stocked, GREAT communication from owners and management company. Lots and lots of information/recommendations shared beforehand by the owners who are family-oriented. Staying in Kihei we are able to support and engage the local community - the town does not feel "resort-like" and that's why we love it. Lastly, the ancient fish pond in front of Menehune Shores is amazing. Thank you to the generous owners for offering their unit to the VRBO community.

This condo was great for our purpose. We did a lot of driving around the island and being centrally located it worked out well. The sunsets from the balcony were unobstructed and fantastic. We will defiantly stay here again when we come back.

The location was great. The view amazing. And the whale watching wonderful. However the property is very rundown. We stayed there in 2020 before the pandemic and nothing had been upgraded. We realize the lockdown made things very difficult. The large patio doors do not work well and the screen door sticks terribly. The a/c works when all the doors are Closed. However, the master bedroom door is very difficult to close. There are no reading lamps in the living area. The master toilet broke and after sending a text to properly management, we never had a reply. The cable box on the master bedroom TV didn’t work properly. Etc etc. the property needs some work.

Views from the condo were breathtaking. We enjoyed the sunset view most of all. The condo had all amenities we needed. Kitchen was well equipped even though we didn't cook much:). Grounds, pool area and grill area were well maintained. Enjoyed our stay! Kihei was an ideal place to stay and easy access to other towns and the airport.

The view from the patio and the bedroom near the patio is just spectacular. I would rate this higher than 5 stars if I could. Property is located on the beach which has a small wall so little ones can play in the ocean without getting knocked over or adults can sit without being pushed by waves. If you don’t care for that it’s just a short walk to regular beach. There is also a pool and a restaurant located on the property. Loved, loved, loved my stay here and communication with the property manager was great. We had a special request due to an excursion we were taking and they took care of us. The owner sent a personal note with recommendations for places to eat and things to do Highly recommend staying here!

Condo was clean and as advertised just a short drive to downtown Kihei with nice ocean views. Easy communication with owner and their rental company office which is just a few blocks away for key pickup and drop off with an after hours box too. Mahalo

My husband and I, plus his elderly parents (74 & 82), stayed here for a little over one week. Overall the property and condo was very nice, beautiful view and great location. With an elevator and ramp, it was easy for them to navigate. They couldn’t access the beach from the condo due to their use of canes but the little beach was great for my husband and me. Private, clean and easy to cart beach chairs to. The only learning curve we had to overcome was the air conditioner units would shut off if any of the doors were opened. Coming in and out of the porch tripped the units and also if his parents wanted to sleep with their windows open to the ocean, the other bedroom couldn’t use their AC, which was a tough call for us. The check in process was also confusing and inefficient on how to get your keys when you arrived after hours and also what to do when you need to checkout. That’s a comment to the company versus the condo. Overall a very nice stay! The master bed got 5 stars from his parents!

We loved staying at this condo - such a great location for all of Maui - and of course the beach!! Only negative feedback was the floor was pretty dirty/dusty. However that is most likely due to the wind with dust/sand. Didn't hamper our stay a bit!

Don't pay for a snorkel trip to Turtle Town, there are plenty of turtles right outside this building. They swim into the shallow fish pond and sun themselves on the rocks and beach, and like to eat at the coral reef right on the other side. The rock wall creates a big shallow area that is protected from the surf, it's perfect for very young children, like an enormous kiddie pool! I was recovering from an injury so that area and the beaches immediately on either side, which are very calm, were great, those beaches were practically deserted even on the weekend. We found little reason to leave the immediate area but when our more adventuresome young adult son and friend arrived the condo was a good base for them to explore the island, they went all over body surfing, snorkeling, hiking to waterfalls and diving from rocks. I was so glad we had plenty of room for them. The condo, building, grounds and pool are kept sparkling clean. We liked the Indian restaurant downstairs too. It would be more ideal if you didn't have to go to a separate location to pick up and drop off the keys although really no big deal. The beds are comfortable, but I found the living room furniture uncomfortable, might just be me.

The check in process was frustrating I got a text about the code which didn't work and then was called and told the next day to pick up keys at the office which includes a key to the rooftop. That information easily could have been included in my reservation email. It didn't cause any issues just more of a feedback for the property company. Minor details because this place is gorgeous. The views are amazing. A quick walk to the beach front and you're swimming with fish and sea turtles. The property has everything you could need. The kitchen is well stocked. The AC throughout was nice and cold. Clean and quiet unit. They did have plenty of beach stuff but some of it is old and broken. The beds were comfortable although the pillows were too thin for my liking. The rear sliding glass door is frustrating. The cable only worked in the main living room. Despite those little things, we would definitely stay here again.

The unit is nice and had some fairly recent renovations. Spacious with all the stuff you need from dishes, appliances, towels and beach accessories so you don't have to spend a bunch of money on stuff you only use once and have to leave behind. It is one of the better views from the building. This is the best family spot in Kihei. It is away from all the noisy, late-night beach scene farther South in Kihei. There is a manmade lagoon right adjacent to the building that turtles come rest overnight. There is a beach with smaller waves just North of the building. The pool is the perfect temperature and cleaned daily. Plenty of parking and most of the guests when we went were quiet. We did have an ongoing issue that the local property management company failed to resolve multiple times but that is hopefully an isolated incident. I give the property management company a negative 5 but the unit and owners 4.5 stars. You won't find a better location in this part of the island.

Had a great stay at Michael and Laylia’s. The condo was clean and had the best views! There was a little bit of a whistling sound coming from a window in the master when we got there due to the wind, but called the property management company (after hours) and they immediately dispatched someone to fix it. What amazing service! And Laylia, your painting in the dining area is beautiful!

We had a good stay in unit 309. Unit was clean and comfortable. Furnishings are cozy and adequate. We appreciated that there were beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel equipment, etc. The view is extraordinary! There were only a few things to criticize: sliding doors need to be fixed or replaced as they were difficult to open and close completely, which must be done in order for the A/C units to work. Additional bath and beach towels would be nice to have, as there were only four of each. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely return again.

This property was great for us and the view is stunning. The breeze that flows through the home when the doors are open was one of my favorite parts of our vacation. I also like that this is in a quieter part of Kihei but everything is still so close by. The beach on the Maui Fishpond was perfect for our 2 year old who isn’t the biggest fan of waves. Seeing sea turtles bathing out in the morning was just icing on the cake.

We stayed 7 days in condo 309 and were very happy with it. The views from the lanai and condo were never tiresome. Loved sitting out on the lanai watching the sunset or enjoying a meal. The upgrades to the kitchen and bathrooms were very nice. The patio doors and windows are in need of an update as some were difficult to open and were looking old. Otherwise we enjoyed the beach access, the calmness of the beach, and the pool. We ate dinner one night at the Monsoon Grill which was amazing! Owners were always responsive to our questions. Would stay here again.

I stayed at this condo with my best friend for a mom-cation & we thoroughly enjoyed it! On check-in the property management office to get keys is 2mi away, so that was bit of inconvenience (because we didn’t initially have rental car & Uber/Lyft difficult on island , but office gal was so nice it made up for it. View is spectacular! Condo located somewhat above pool, so there was some noise, but we didn’t mind & pool closes at 8:30pm. We struggled to figure out AC, as we were just trying to cool 1 bedroom & my friend in other bedroom wanted slider open & no AC. Unit in my room wouldn’t stay on. Turns out there are sensors on all 3 doors & if every door isn’t closed none of AC units will work. Property mgmt gal kindly helped me figure it out via phone next am. Would be nice to have instructions in unit that say that. Unit decorated very nicely & kitchen well stocked. I would 100% stay here again & even thinking about coming here with my family! We also appreciated email from owner with dining & beach suggestions!

This was our first time in Maui. We were celebrating our 30th Anniversary. I wasn't sure where to stay, but I'm so glad I chose this place. It was central to everything we had planned. The condo had everything we needed to make it a perfect vacation. The beach, views and pool is right there. I'm ready to go back and would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for giving us an opportunity to enjoy your wonderful place. ❤
