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,

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

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!

Perfect Ocean View Stay- Clean, Comfortable, and Well Equipped!
We had an amazing stay at this top-floor corner unit! The condo was incredibly clean and well-maintained, with everything we needed provided. Waking up each morning and enjoying our coffee while gazing out at the ocean from the balcony was an absolute highlight. The beach is right next to the condos, and we loved being able to walk along the shore so easily. The unit itself was very comfortable for our group of four, and having two bathrooms was a major plus. We had air conditioning in both bedrooms and the living room, which kept the space cool and comfortable. We were also pleasantly surprised by how much we appreciated having a ceiling fan in the bathroom—something we didn’t even know we needed! Overall, this condo exceeded our expectations and made our vacation feel like a home away from home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay by the ocean!

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!

Great location, beautiful views
This was a girls trip - my sister and I with our mom and aunt, both of whom are turning 80 in a few days. The elevators worked great and it was nice having a place that was all one level with two step in showers. We were pleased with the comfort and quality of the accommodations. Other people had commented in their reviews about the proximity to the road, resulting in traffic noise. This is true but it was not bad (never kept us from sleeping or woke us up). Beach access was easy in both directions and we saw many turtles sunning on the rocks. Overall, the location was great, the view was beautiful and our vacation was a very memorable one. Thank you!

Wonderful View
The property was well equipted, everything we needed was available. Our only issue was the condo was not completely cleaned prior to our arrival. Beds were unmade, bathroom sink dirty, laundry in the washer and if you walk around the condo barefoot like they ask your feet will get dirty. The view was fantastic!

We really enjoyed our stay in this condo. It had everything we needed for a week stay in Maui. It was close to activities, food, groceries, and right on the beach. The lanai was the perfect place to hang out while at the condo. Mahalo!

Great location/great view/ family friendly
Condo was great location. Perfect for 2 adults & 2 teens. Condo was well supplied with cooler bags, kitchen had pots/pans, utensils to make all our meals & containers for leftovers or snacks to take to the beach. Beach chairs, beach towels. Washer/dryer. Temps were in the low 90s, but opening windows & rooms all had ceiling fans to keep the condo cool. Condo had perfect sunset view from the lanai & easy to get to the beach. We saw lots of sea turtles in the water & even 1 on the beach. Rooftop access made for a good sunset view as well.

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.

Nice unit but noisy from street noise. There were no small spoons. It was clean, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was equipped except for spoons. The humpback whale museum next door was nice. We enjoyed watching the sunset off the balcony and the whales. The roof was great for watching whales. Great unit.

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.

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.
