Welcome to our luxury beachfront hotel zoned condo at Menehune Shores – where every detail is designed to make your Maui vacation unforgettable. From whale watching on your private lanai to sipping your favorite drink as tropical breezes dance through the space, this is the kind of magic that stays with you for a lifetime. Whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee or unwinding with a glass of wine in the stylish living room or on the lanai, this is your moment to relax, recharge, and soak up the island vibes.
Good to Know: We’ve recently upgraded with engineered laminate wood flooring and installed air conditioning in both bedrooms and the living room to keep you comfortable on those extra warm days in paradise. That said, we highly recommend opening the windows and sliding doors to fully embrace the natural trade winds and the soothing soundtrack of the Pacific. After all, that’s why you’re here.

Premium is an under statement, this is a great 2br 2bath. Thanks for letting us stay here and we can’t wait to come back. We visited beaches at Kam I and II and Wailea and enjoyed our time here outside the noisy tourist sections. Also hopped the ferry to Lanai one day and we live this place and Condo with stunning views on the beach. (Only Condo in Kihei that is truly on the water)

The property was exactly as pictured on Vrbo. Unfortunately the water isn’t as picturesque as most of the other parts of the island but we were able to drive to many of the other beaches. I would highly recommend this unit.

Very well appointed and managed condo. Perfect location on the beach. Beautiful view from Lanai. My family of 4 loved our stay here and highly recommend.

If I could give a 3.5 I would. Here’s the rundown.
1. It’s old and a little outdated. If you don’t mind outdated furniture and carpet-ignore this part. The positive-all appliances seem new! Also, old doesn’t mean dirty! Everything was clean.
2. The patio has an air handler on it (not pictured). The very hot air and noise makes the patio nearly useless. BUT-without it the condo would be unbearably hot, so it is what it is.
3. Ants. I messaged the property manger about the situation and she said it’s a tropical area and just comes with being here. She prefers to not use harsh chemicals and the pest control company was just there. Well, spend 5 minutes in the kitchen and you’ll see that this is more than a small issue. We had ants on literally anything left on the counter. They are in the cabinets and drawers. Found them in our water bottles, my purse, I mean it when I say everywhere. Gross.
Now, with that, we were only there 2 nights. There is no way the issue could have been fixed for us. The property manager was responsive and was in no way rude, and we are in an old building in a tropical environment. This is probably just a common issue, but is a big no for me. This is the reason for bumping to a 3 star instead of up to a 4.
Overall-great location, affordable, well stocked, and responsive host. Just an old condo with some extra Hawaiian character.

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.
