About this property

BEAUTIFUL PENTHOUSE TOP FLOOR CORNER END UNIT!!!!

Aloha,

We understand that some of you are concerned about visiting our paradise amidst these unfortunate circumstances. However, we want to assure you that we still warmly welcome you here. Your time and effort in helping our beautiful island recover would be immensely valuable and allow you to enjoy the tranquil beaches of South Maui.

It's important to note that all restaurants and shops are open, ready to serve you. This vacation could allow you and your family to create meaningful, lifelong memories. Moreover, your visit would greatly contribute to the much-needed support of our local economy.

Thank you for considering this invitation. Your compassion, generosity, and presence can make a difference in the lives of those affected by the fires. We are grateful for your support and look forward to hosting you in our beautiful corner of the world.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Malinee

Welcome to Menehune Shores unit 601!!! Penthouse top floor apartment with high living room ceilings, wonderful views of Ma'alaea Bay and the West Maui Mountains! Recent upgrades has everything necessary for a relaxing stay on the Valley Isle.

Newly installed 3 zone air conditioners, our unit has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, excellent views, high ceilings, and a layout which provides privacy to each of the bedrooms. The kitchen and baths have been upgraded and this year we added new LVT floorings, drapes and ceiling fans. There is a stacked washer/dryer unit conveniently located in the hall closet near the master bedroom. There is one California king bed in the master bedroom and two twins in the second bedroom which can be converted to a reasonable facsimile of a king bed, making the unit ideal for four people.

The unit includes a fully equipped kitchen, cable television, free local phone service, high-speed internet, and a private lanai. This lanai, accessible from both the master bedroom and the living room, has Ma'alaea Bay and West Maui Mountain views, and that is where we end up spending most of our time. We think you will, too. Menehune Shores is an oceanfront complex in a low density, peaceful area of North Kihei, twenty minutes from the airport between Maalaea harbor and Wailea. Truly oceanfront, the complex is adjacent to a protected swimming and snorkeling beach and also the five mile long Sugar Beach which extends from the property north to Maalaea, and is perfect for long morning and sunset walks. A heated pool and BBQ area are located in the tropically landscaped seaside grounds, and a rooftop BBQ and dining area provides stunning views of the ocean, Haleakala, the West Maui Mountains, Molokini, Kahoolawe, and Lanai. It is an ideal place to watch for whales in the winter and relax and enjoy Maui’s breathtaking sunsets each and every evening of the year.

The property features an immaculately kept lawn area, a shuffleboard court, an on-site restaurant, a swimming pool and two BBQ areas. It sits next to the historic 16th century royal fish pond of Kalepolepo and public tennis courts are within short walking distance. The property is an excellent location for stunning sunsets, swimming, romantic beach strolling, and seasonal whale watching.

The complex is located minutes away from shopping and dining areas that will take care of all your vacation needs. Additionally, an authentic Indian restaurant - Monsoon India - with a full bar and spectacular views is conveniently located on the ground floor of the complex. Menehune Shores offers: -roof BBQ area -pool -ground level BBQ area -free on site parking The interiors include: -fully equipped kitchens -washers & dryers -cable television -free local phone service -private lanais

Please note: CLEANING FEES ARE DOUBLED ON: 4TH OF JULY, THANKSGIVING DAY, CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY.

Beautiful view, great stay!

Our family of four had such a great time at this beautiful place in Kihei! The views were incredible, the beds were comfy, check in was super easy, and we appreciated that there were beach chairs and coolers. The street noise didn’t bother us and we were grateful both rooms had white noise machines!

Gorgeous views, clean and private!

We had a wonderful time staying here! The condo is on the top floor all the way at the end so plenty of privacy and a great view of the ocean. You can also access the rooftop for an even more spectacular view. . I highly recommend this condo and having AC in all the rooms was definitely a factor for why we choose this place. Very happy!

Beautiful Condo in Kihei

This beautiful condo was exactly as described. The ocean views were incredible from the living room, master bedroom, and lanai. We loved the Kihei location and it’s central location on the island. The property manager was efficient and very easy to communicate with. We were very happy with our stay in this unit and would undoubtedly book here again.

Amazing experience for a family of four

We really enjoyed our stay in this condo conveniently located in Kihei. The views of the ocean from the apartment lanai were breathtaking. The apartment itself was just as described in the photos and the perfect size for my parents, sister and myself. The apartment had beach chairs, beach towels, and enough laundry and dishwasher tablets to last a week for the four of us. The kitchen was also very well-stocked and we were able to make one or two meals everyday helping us save some money in the process. One of the shower areas were smaller than we expected but the other amenities, the location, and gracious host (Malinee) more than made up for it. Our flight back from Maui was late in the night and Malinee was kind enough to accommodate a later checkout for us so we were able to comfortably pack and clean before leaving. We had also run out of hand soap bars before our stay ended and Malinee promptly sent someone over to give us extra soap. This was a wonderful home away from home for the 6 days we were in Maui. Highly recommend this place for anyone considering staying in Kihei for their Maui trip!

Comfortable and great location

This condo was great for my family of four. We have teenagers and everyone had plenty of room. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials. Our host was available and easy to communicate with. I think the best part was the location with easy beach access and a great pool. The views were amazing. It is fun to watch the sea turtles just steps away! The beds and pillows were very comfortable too and there were plenty of extra cozy blankets.

Great condo

Very nice condo. Comfortable for our 2 couples staying here. Would be nice if there was one more living room chair so we didn’t have to sit 3 across on the sofa. There is some street noise but that quiets down by bedtime. Great walled off swimming area,especially for children. We’d be happy to stay here again. Convenient to Kihei and great restaurant downstairs. Building elevator was a nice plus.

Owners:
We are long-term residents of central Japan (now in our 22nd year) but we're originally from San Francisco, CA and West Yarmouth, MA. It is an understatement to say we like to travel. We have been fortunate enough to see some of the prettiest places on the planet and yet we always seem to return to the Kihei area so in 2013 we bought this apartment which we hope to someday make into a more permanent home.


Local Rental Agent:
I’m the on-island property manager from RE/MAX Resort Realty with five years of concierge experience at Four Stars Maui resorts. Always available, I’m just a phone call away to answer your questions and make sure that you have everything you need during your stay.
Maui…True Paradise!!! You will enjoy your vacation in our unit and will want to come back again!!!

Why they chose this property

We chose this top floor apartment because of the bright and airy feel created by the high living room and master bedroom ceilings. It has an excellent layout, wonderful views of Ma'alaea Bay and Maui Komohana (the West Maui Mountains) and a very convenient location. Small but efficient, we think #601 has everything necessary for a relaxing stay on the Valley Isle.

What makes this property unique

Though the apartment is on the smaller side, it has a layout which provides privacy (and separate bathrooms) to each of the two bedrooms. The property may have been built in 1976, but our HOA takes great pride in keeping the building and the grounds (including the pool and ground floor barbecues) well-maintained and very clean. The views from the rooftop bbq area are also absolutely spectacular.
