Great location right on the fish pond. Ground level access to amenities. We had a great time on our anniversary.

This condo was absolutely perfect! Everything was updated so nicely. The walk in showers were so spacious and the king size beds in both rooms were perfect for my family. ( Me, husband and 15 yr old son) The view was amazing and the location of the condo couldn’t have been better. We had multiple activities booked all over the island and this was a great central location. We did not visit the pool or any other part of the condo property so we can’t speak to it because the view was just so lovely from the balcony. Our host was gracious with an early check in and even an hour later check out. So we appreciated that very much. Kitchen was appointed with everything we could need plus some. Would love to come back to this exact property!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for our 25th anniversary. A minor issue with the toilet was repaired quickly and with minimal interruption of our visit. Everything we needed from beach gear, cooler for road to Hana, and cookware was available. Looking at the photos when we were booking, I couldn't help but wonder if the exterior images had been photoshopped in, but they definitely weren't! Our first few days, the mountain was cloud covered but it cleared and was absolutely gorgeous! If you want to observe sea turtles, make sure you wear water shoes and venture out toward the rock barrier, they rest there frequently. My only (insignificant) complaint was that the evening sun which created the beautiful sunsets did heat up the condo quite a bit. Thicker curtains would've been nice to keep it cooler, especially when we weren't there and enjoying the view. The lanai did look like it had an apparatus that may lower to block, but we didn't notice that til our last evening so we didn't check with the owner to see if/how it worked. Highly recommend this unit and responsive owner.

The building was nice and there was access to the roof and BBQs. The view was amazing and we enjoyed watching the sun set. The air conditioning is only in the main room so we kept the bedroom door open to help keep the place cool enough to be comfortable.

June 2024

The penthouse condo had an amazing view and was centrally located in Kihei. We enjoyed the pool, adjacent beaches and local restaurants. The condo had everything we need for a great stay with our family. I would definitely book this place again.

We loved the location and the condo has everything one needs. Seriously, it had everything from spices and condiments to food storage containers and a cooler with icepacks. The unit was conveniently near the elevator but still quiet and there was plenty of parking. Overall the experience of having a beach and sunset in your backyard was worth it! The sea turtles lounge all day on the fish pond rocks and they are amazing to watch too.

Property is well stocked with everything one would need to be at the beach in Maui! In Kihei however just be prepared for the winds to be blowing each afternoon past 12:00pm.

This condo was perfect for our stay. The condo is in a perfect location close to restaurants and snorkel spots. We saw turtles popping their heads up daily by the rocks. It was quiet and you could be on the little beach within 1 minute. Loved it!

Excellent place to stay on Maui. Kitchen and other amenities were very well stocked and the location was fantastic. We felt very safe in the area and restaurants/entertainment were only a few minutes away.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We LOVED our stay at Menehune Shores, LOVED the ocean views, we ate on the balconey for every meal, hung out on the balconey at night listening to the waves, the lagoon was great for floating, soaking up the beautiful sunshine, and perfect for little ones because it is protected from the waves. Sea turtles galore sleeping on the rocks and swimming by you. You can also walk past the lagoon to Kalepolepo Beach and enjoy waves, we left skim board for others to enjoy. Beach chairs/umbrella provided. Condo was furnished appropriately, clean and in great location! Memories made, we miss it already!

Excellent ground floor unit which allowed us to walk out on the lawn, beach whenever we desired. The unit was clean and updated. We would highly recommend.

June 2024

Really enjoyed our stay in Kihei at the Menehune Shores Condos. Our place was clean and a great location to the beach and restaurants downtown. It's a corner unit on the second floor so not the best view of the ocean but certainly still one with a partial view which we enjoyed. The amenities were good, beach chairs and towels available as well as kitchen essentials such as paper towels and dish soap. Would definitely stay here again, our family enjoyed it.
Larry M.
June 2024

Clean, comfortable, and beautiful. The condo was quiet and peaceful. The pool was great to have access to and the rooftop was a fun place to watch the sun go down. There were beach chairs, cooler, and blue ice in the freezer which made a day at the beach easy. The kitchen had tools to cook with. There was nothing but salt to use, so if you stay make sure you bring everything you need with you. We also used the pullout couch and it was comfortable for a pullout. We would definitely stay again.

We originally booked for August 2023. Due to the fires in Maui we rebooked for June 2024. The host was more than willing to change our reservation. The place was perfect. Wonderful location and excellent condo. Will definitely stay again.
Patrick R.

The condo was great. More than enough room for a family of 5. Comfy beds with plenty of pillows. There was a lot of seating both inside the condo and outside. The view was beautiful and the grounds were very well taken care of. The air conditioning was very nice to have. There are coolers, beach chairs, and beach towels to use during your visit. The kitchen comes with many amenities. We would definitely stay here again.

Had an issue with another property we originally booked. Long story…short. VRBO and our host Chad had us booked and moved in within a few hours. After this experience, I will always book through VRBO. As far as the property goes, it was everything as advertised and more! Mahalo.

To say this trip was a nightmare from hell is an understatement. Upon arrival we saw a notepad left from the previous guest that said roaches all over kitchen and screen door was broken. Both were sadly true. The screen was broken and the kitchen was INFESTED with roaches! We have stayed in this condo in the past and never had a problem. Actually loved it so much that we booked it this time for our wedding and honeymoon stay. Unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy it like we did the last time. We had ZERO use of the kitchen because of the infested roaches. We checked in Tuesday about 2pm and about 9pm Vacasa was notified about the problem. We couldn’t even unpack our luggage because of the fear of brining the roaches back home. Wednesday morning we went to longs to buy some bug bombs to set off and we left for the day. Still unpacked. Thursday just two short days away from our big day we brought some groceries home for our rehearsal dinner Friday, closed and sealed box of cookies and the roaches got into them. We couldn’t even leave our water tumblers on the counter because they got into those as well. Our 4 year old daughter couldn’t stay with us because she had asthma and roaches carry something that can make it worse. Thursday night after finding roaches in the bathroom and bedroom where our wedding clothing was we had enough and stayed on the phone with Vacasa then they finally moved us down the hall. While looking at the condo a rat ran across the floor and rat poop was everywhere! We had no where else to go as our wedding was less than 24 hours away. We also had 6 other condos rented out where we were staying of family from all over the United States. We ended up checking our early Monday due to just lack of help and Vacasa was little to no help. We couldn’t use the kitchen or even unpack our bags. It felt like we were living out of our suitcases. Our daughter couldn’t stay with us and we didn’t even want to stay there half of the time because of the bugs. It truly was disgusting! We understand we are on an island and there are bugs, but as mentioned we have stayed in these condos and this exact unit before and have NEVER had a problem! Why we came back!! For our wedding!! Even pest control said it was infested and that there was a roach nest. Also one of the maintenance workers we have developed a relationship with since we come so often here said it’s never been this bad and it’s infested. It was just truly disappointing. Our stay was supposed to be from April 30th-May10th we tried to stick it out since we just had so much going on with the wedding and lots of family (28 members to be exact ) staying at the condos here but we just couldn’t take it we ended up checking out on May 6th.. It saddens me that such a beautiful condo that we have fallen in love with has turned into that. To somewhere we don’t want to return.. The condo itself is beautiful and we have always loved staying here but will not return just due to us being disgusted..

House was clean and check in was a breeze. Location was great for us. Kids enjoyed the pool and option to walk directly out to the beach for a swim or turtle watching. Miles and miles of beaches either direction. Hope to visit again.

June 2024

Condo was nice. It was older & laundry room was a little janky, but everything worked & the views every morning were amazing. And turtles were on the beach & the reef every day. Condo worked great for our family. Love that every room had their own A/C unit & their own TV. Very centrally located on resort & on the island. Condo was very clean & supplied all we needed for the beach! A side note - if you are going to use the oven, be sure you fan the smoke detector when opening the oven door. The heat from the oven will set it off every time because it is located right above the oven. Check in was horrible. Flight landed after dark. Couldn’t find property management company to pick up keys. Tried calling Property management 8 times & didn’t answer their phone to direct us to where we had to pick up key. Sign was not illuminated like directions instructed. Finally found where we had to go to pick up keys & property management called us back 3 hours later. Not ideal. Would recommend an electronic key pad to gain access to condo. Makes it so much easier for the travelers. Overall, a fun time!

Great location on the beach. Wonderful to be able to walk out from the living room to the ocean in 30 seconds or less. Everything you need to buy is only 5 minutes drive. Fancy resort restaurants in 15 minutes. Look forward to returning soon as we can.

Wish we stayed here longer. It's located so close to the water and in a quiet part of Kihei. Loved our morning walks on the 2-mile beach adjacent to the property. Easy access to Kahalui for supplies at Walmart or Costco. The view from this 5th floor condo are amazing with beautiful sunsets. The pool is a bit small, but we didn't spend time there with so many amazing beaches close by. Can't go wrong with Menehune Shores!

June 2024

This wonderful beach front condo was like staying at your family or best friend's. We felt right at home and enjoyed every minute of it. Everything from the kitchen to the bedrooms, the beautiful Lanai and our hosts made this place 5 stars for us. The amenities were top notch. We highly recommend and would stay again.

Plenty of space, fantastic lication and amazing view. Its right on the water, so the beach was just steps away. It was a fantastic home base for our family for our vacation, and a nice place to relax between all of our beach outtings and excurssions. We look forward to staying again in the future.❤️❤️❤️

It’s an older condo but if you’re okay with it not being perfectly up to date it was a comfortable stay. Some areas were not as clean as I’d hoped, but again nothing was too bad. Small kitchen appliances need replacement (they are showing their age). Furniture was comfortable and full kitchen was nice to have on our stay. Washer and dryer was a plus. Gorgeous beach with a volcano view and staff was very friendly and kind. We would come back.

This condo is amazing and perfect for six people to stay comfortably! It was clean, affordable, comfortable, and the location was great. The view was a dream and being able to BBQ on the roof and at the pool was so much fun! We would all stay here again in a heartbeat! The owner, Katie is extremely kind and responsive and was so helpful! I would not hesitate to come back!

We took our first family trip with our 5 month old son and my parents. We stayed in the apartment for three weeks and had the most wonderful time. The place is very comfortable and the amenities are great with kids. The AC units work perfectly. The lanai and view were amazing. The location in Kihei was perfect for us as well! The host was super responsive to any questions we had as well. We are sad to say goodbye to this place and hope to be back! We will cherish the memories we made here with our baby :) Mahalo!

The property was just perfect to celebrate our honeymoon. The views were stunning no matter what time of the day! The property had everything we needed for the beach (chairs, umbrella, coolers, and towels). The complex as a whole has a great amenities too! I would suggest having a car while staying here just because the grocery and restaurants/bars aren't really walking distance, but everything is a very short (and cheap) Uber drive. We hope to be able to come back again!

Incredible views and location! First of all, it’s Maui which is 5-star and then you have stunning views, calm water in the ocean “pond” or bigger waves outside. Great condo!

This was a great family stay. 2 bedrooms, laundry, kitchen, all working great. The only 2 minor items would be if you notice road noise (we do not, so not an issue) and if you are a tech person whom will want to log in to your apps, the TV would not accept an update, but I just used my Roku with no problems. Some minor issues (ice maker didn't work, we used ice trays. The door to the balcony from the primary bedroom did not work, we didn't need it). A/C in all rooms worked great!!!!! We will return

I messaged the management company when we landed and a staffmember met us at the condo early. It was very nice that they gifted my mom candy for her birthday. The view is amazing and i recommend keeping the front door open for a good cross breeze. There aee plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, and the cooler was perfect for the beach. The old fish pond, now a protected place to swim, was so amazing. The bathrooms are very up to date. The beds were comfortable, not sure about the sofa bed since we didnt use it. The staff were always friendly. Loved it.

Our family had a great weekend at this beautiful spot. The pool and beach were excellent and we enjoyed the sunsets from the lanai and the rooftop grills.

We stayed for a week with our two kids (ages 12 and 14) and could not have been happier with the condo! It was a good amount of space for us, and we appreciated having two bedrooms and two bathrooms. We loved being able to walk right to the protected beach, as well as being able to see the sea turtles. The pool was warm and wonderful as well! Communications were prompt and we would love to come back to stay again!

Cannot wait to go back! The only 3 downfalls where #1 the fridge broke before our arrival, so we didnt have a fridge (owner supplied us with a mini fridge) so our cost when up because the lack of being able to utilize this necessity. #2 when i booked this property, i was under the impression that it was on ground level, not on the 4th floor, i was bummed about that. #3 while the drinks were spectacular at the onsite restaurant you might want to know that it is indian based food such as curry, Non, Masala, while good sure, but not for some family's. Would have liked a little wider variety. The people we met where amazing, swam with turtles EVERY single day.
