We had not been to Maui in 4 years so had some familiarity with the island and wanted to be in a good location. This unit was really good, clean, updated and well stocked with essentials. The location is great being on the water side of S Kihei Road and having a really nice beach, huge lawn and pool area. The complex is very well maintained and the staff was friendly. The view from the balcony and the main bedroom windows is awesome. It exceeded expectations. The unit owners Jenn & Steve went above and beyond with communication, helpful hints and follow up to ensure everything was perfect. They responded right away to any question we had. We would definately recommend this unit for a vacation and would stay there again. Maui is wonderful and when the place you stay at is this good it makes for very memorable vacation. Mahalo!

The house was perfect. You can walk to the beach which is perfect for kids. Super shallow mellow water. The home was clean and has everything you would need including beach toys and a wagon to pull to the beach. Quiet area. Highly recommend. Would stay there again!

Beautiful, clean, well stocked, and can we talk about the view!? Jenn was wonderful and gave us suggestions of places to go, she knew the area well. You will not be disappointed with this unit, it was the best VRBO I have ever stayed at.

This condo was exactly as described and what we were looking for. View, quiet, clean, everything we needed and great location. If we return to Maui I would absolutely stay here again. Especially liked the turtles resting area in front of the complex.

Really enjoyed staying at this property - it had everything we needed and more! The view was great; the location was central to everything (a rental car needed); the condo was well stocked with everything needed for a great stay. The owner was very pleasant to work with and very accommodating for our stay! Would definitely stay here again if I return to Maui.

We absolutely loved this condo and almost cried the day we left. The place was stocked with absolutely everything we could need, and things that other people left behind, like sunscreen, saved our first day since we got into Maui at midnight the night before (due to delays) and just wanted to enjoy the beach before heading to the store. The condo was super clean, the view from the lanai was magical, and the beds were comfortable. The building isn't on the greatest beach, but we decided we even liked that about it, because it was the beautiful view without the crowds and noise of the more popular beaches. And the turtles that visited every night and morning made it absolute perfection. It isn't within walking distance to any restaurants or shopping, so you will have to drive everywhere, but there are great restaurants and shops just a couple of miles away. The positive of that is that it is MUCH quieter than the other condos on Kihei Road. This is our 3rd time visiting Maui. We stayed on Kaanapali and in Wailea, and we much prefer Kihei because of its central location to everything and less expensive restaurants. Make sure you go to Coconut's Fish Cafe and Nalu's. We went to each of them twice. Fantastic food and reasonable prices! Thank you for a great vacation! We were so sad to leave!

Trip Date: 3/12-3/23......This was our first time to Maui and this condo did not disappoint. Ya it might be a little dated with items, but the location on the beach with a pool is perfect. We did a lot if driving to different adventures and this condo was pretty much within 45 minutes to everywhere we went. Except for our hiking adventure in the Halakaena National Park, that was about 2 hours away. But definitely worth the drive if you are a hiker. The airport is a 20 minute drive is all. Our trip to Pearl Harbor was worth the long day, but Hawaiian Airlines was spot on with there flights that day. The communication with Jenn on the VRBO rental was awesome. And getting into the condo with the door access code is easy, no keys to hang onto while on the trip and the elevators were a big plus. Also, the place has three A/C units, a must if going when it is warm. If your looking at a place without A/C I would take a second look. It is muggy. Please book this place if you get a chance. It could hold a family of 5 pretty easy. They had everything in the condo, towels, beach items for kids and adults, nice kitchen with all the accessories you could need. The two bedrooms with A/C was perfect for us. Thanks to Jenn and the owner for a great trip!!

Great place to celebrate our anniversaries (2 couples). The condo was perfect and had everything we needed plus more! The beach views were amazing and the rooftop was a great place to enjoy sunsets. Highly recommend this VRBO and will definitely return one day!

We love staying at menehune shores and this condo was a perfect fit for our family of 6! All of the extras were provided and it made going to the beach that much easier. Not to add being able to see sea turtles every day at the fish pond. We will be back!

We’ve stayed at Menehune Shores numerous times, and we always try different units. This unit is by far the best one so far! Nicely updated, Hawaiian interior, fantastic kitchen, fully stocked toiletries, great beds, great linens; fridge was left stocked with basic condiments which is so helpful! Plenty of laundry soap and detergent; lots of paper towels and toilet paper. Awesome beach equipment. Fantastic views and sunsets. Great functioning AC. This unit is a total winner!

Well located on the beach with nice pool and rooftop terrace. Unit was well equipped tho could have been cleaner. Great views of whales and sunsets from lanai. Lanai was crowded w furniture and hard to use on a hot day with AC unit blowing hot air. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We stayed with our kids (6, 4, & 2), and it was a perfect place for them! They loved the cove, and we saw sea turtles every day. My husband and son also enjoyed fishing off shore. The whales were very active as well. The view off of the patio was excellent for sunsets every night. The only thing that wasn’t “perfect” was that it’s located in a more residential area, so you have to walk 1+ miles to get to shops/coffee. No big deal if you have a car! Kihei is a great location for exploring the island, I would definitely stay again.

Apartment was very clean, well-maintained, and up-to-date appliances. Also very well furnished and stocked with kitchen & cooking utensils and equipment. View from the Lanai was great - we saw whales almost every day and had a beautiful view of sunsets. The apartment complex was also very well-maintained. Employees were constantly cleaning.

It was a great location with great access to all of Maui! The town of Kihei is my favorite! The condo was well stocked with all the basics (coffee/coffee filters/paper towels/TP/beach towels/beach toys/beach chairs/small cooler/dish soap/ice packs/ice maker/soap/shampoo/conditioner/lotion). Very clean! Can easily hear the waves from the condo!

Very easy checking in and out. Condo had everything we needed with us having a 17 month old child. Location is quiet but close to all the shops and restaurants in Kihei. We enjoyed breakfast and sometimes dinner on the balcony looking out on the ocean. We loved that we could just walk to the beach plus there is a pool if you prefer. The complex had a good Indian restaurant beside the pool area…very convenient. Jenn was very helpful and kind.

The check in process is a bit cumbersome. We were told check in was at 4pm but we were provided the entry code prior. We arrived at about 2:15 and I guess someone was still inside maybe cleaning. The person just said "Not till 4pm" without any further explanation. The property manager sent a message later and explained the situation which was fine. Its also odd that you have to get the parking pass from the office but they close at 2pm. Would be nice if host had a temporary one in the home. The home is as it appears and is very spacious and does offer a good ocean view. We appreciated that the home was well stocked with everything you would need including most basic food items for cooking. We also appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella and beach towels. The AC worked well. We would have liked to have more bath towels besides the one set in the master. There is also quiet time starting at 10pm but this didn't seem to be an issue. Close to food so all in all it was a good stay.

This place is amazing. Clean and stocked well. We packed way to much and the condo had everything we needed. Definitely listen to your wife and stop here before hitting the grocery store. The sunset views are amazing. The condo is clean and gorgeous. The location is awesome. I feel like you are basically in the middle of everything. If this place is available and you were like me and looked at hundreds of Vrbo places stop now and book this one. We loved everything about it. Thank you for sharing your place with us.

This property is fully stocked with everything needed for a great stay in Maui. The lanai was so relaxing at night with the ocean so close! The rooftop views were stunning! Jenn was very quick to respond prior to the trip and was quick to let us know the pool code changed the day we arrived. Definitely would stay again.

This is a very nice condo with a great kids beach in front. Sea turtles could be found there daily and small fish.

We had a wonderful time with our family in this beautiful Maui apartment. The host was very accommodating. They let us check in early and gave us great recommendations. The place had a beautiful view and was clean. It had coffee, snacks and toiletry needs which was a plus!

Property is right on the shores. Very short walk to the small beach, pool, and bbq area. Kitchen was equipped with everything you need, extra pillows and blankets, extra towels. There was some sand toys available for my toddler. We had one person that is in a wheelchair and he was able to use one of the bathrooms. Shower was a little tight for him, but made it work by sitting side ways. Fridge had an ice machine. Washer and dryer in one of the bathrooms. AC both worked well in the bedrooms but less so in the living room. I assume it's from the doors opening and shutting and the area is bigger, but it cooled it good enough. We did not hear much of the neighbors at all. Overall it was a pleasant stay and will definitely book this unit again when we return.

This unit was so beautiful, clean, and well stocked! The beach on site is absolutely perfect for littles! We were bummed that the pool was closed for annual maintenance but other than that we had an absolutely perfect stay here. Highly recommend!

The condo was a wonderful home base for our first trip to Hawaii. We loved the location, the beach and “fish pond” with turtles!!! My kids loved the pool. The layout of the condo was great, spacious and so well stocked with extras (beach items, great pans & kitchen tools, towels, spices…). We really couldn’t have picked a better place. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay during our most recent trip to Maui. The condo is nestled close to the beach for easy access and has a pool for those days that you may have had your fill of the sand. It was a great central location for us and I would highly recommend this condo to anyone else visiting the area.

We absolutely loved our stay at Jenn & Steve's condo. The view was amazing and so relaxing from the lanai. They have a boogie board, sand toys, beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas and it's super convenient and kind when guests that stay before you leave some items behind like condiments, drinks, extra toiletries etc. We love the location in Kihei and the local vibe of the town. It's centrally located so that's convenient for planning where you'd like to go. Being able to walk down to the beach or pool without having to even cross a street is a huge bonus. My kids love catching toads on the grass area below our lanai at night. We've stayed at Menehune Shores twice now and still have been too busy to check out the rooftop BBQ area, but I bet it's amazing for sunrises and sunsets. Overall, you literally cannot go wrong with your stay here!

We had a great time staying in this unit. It had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Maui. Bonus, the green turtles have a habitat at the beach in front of the building!

Amazing place, met all our expectations and more. The communication was quick and easy. This place has everything you need to enjoy Maui. Parking was good. Monsoon grill was good. There was only two minor issues. The AC pump was on the Lanai which pumped hot air on you as you tried to enjoy the view. And the roof top BBQs didn’t work well! (The ones by the pool were perfect) We will return!

My wife and I came to Maui on vacation and wanted a place right on the beach. After looking at many condos we decided on this one. There were other condos available in the same building but the view didn't seem as good or on the bottom floor which we didn't want. The condo is a well layer out place with comfortable beds. The view from the Lenai is breath taking. Jenn is wonderful and kept in communication with us. What ever question we asked she responded very promptly even sometimes within minutes. I feel you won't find a better place for the price. Now the one negative thing I have to mention and it's a biggie. I think anybody that stays here will agree. You have to leave and come home! We loved Maui and the people are the best. Now for you that haven't been here before a few tips that I can offer. First food is expensive here. If you have a Costco membership your set. I do not so there is a Walmart about 15 minutes away. You do save money vs going to Safeway. But Safeway does have good meats and veggies. ABC stores have some souvenirs and stuff like that. I would check out the flea market down next to McDonald's first. They have some vendors with good prices. If you go behind the shave ice place there is a wonderful lady named Lee. She sells woman's dresses and covers. Stuff like that. Also another tip. Alcohol prices are about the same as here in New York. They sell everything in the markets including hard liquor. Not a big selection but have it. There is a liquor store in town that has good prices and good selection. If you don't see it in the grocery store head there. They will tell you different things you must try on island. Do it! Fish tacos at coconuts shave ice at ululani's are 2 biggies. We didn't do the sunrise over the crater but did drive up ourselves. Also did road to Hana. We paid a bit more but did the jeep tour. Hoaloha jeep tour was well worth the money. Hope this helps you if you decide to go. Best vacation we have ever been on so far. Do yourselves a favor and book with Jenn. You won't regret it.
