Great place with amazing view. Was a little worried when we first got there that the elevator was across the hall but didn’t hear the at all. Nice beach and pool. Easy check in and out. Agency even called the day after we checked in to see if everything was ok. There was quite a few items no on the amenities like beach towels, kid’s beach toys etc.
We loved our time in 309! The host was so communicative and check in and out was a breeze! The condo was perfect for our family of 4. Everything felt so spacious and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. Only feedback would be to replace the sliding patio door—it came off the track literally every time we used it no matter how cafeful. Other than that, no notes! It’s a perfect location and we loved watching the sunsets from our patio or the roof. Would definitely recommend and come back!
We got in late, so it was super dark. When we opened the patio door, all we could hear was ocean waves. What a wonderful welcome to the condo! We had an amazing time. The condo has all of the amenities you could need. Wish we were still there!
The condo was very nice, and the view was beautiful! It had everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for a better week! We saw sea turtles and whales from our balcony. Thanks for sharing your condo!
Beautiful views so close to the beach, very clean, spacious balcony, beach chairs and umbrella. Would stay there again. Only complaint is a lamp is needed in the living room.
It was a perfect unit for the four of us, beautiful ocean view and it has everything you need. Relaxing ocean breeze, watching the huge turtles in the morning through the patio or go downstairs and walk few steps to see them upclose. Accessible to everything, very Close to the supermarket to get all the things u need. It was a very relaxing vacation.
We enjoyed are stay at the condo. View was beautiful the condo was well equipped had everything we needed. The beds we're not that comfortable could have better pillows but i understand pillows aren't what they used to be. Would be nice if we had a code lock on the door when you come in late at night last thing you want to do is make a extra stop.

GREAT PROPERTY...PERFECT LOCATION
This condo is absolutely amazing! Great location right on the ocean to see the whales breaching. Had more than enough amenities anyone would need from beach towels to binoculars. The pictures do an injustice to how amazing this condo is. The owners were a pleasure to deal with, answered all questions in a timely manner. Will definitely stay at this condo again in the future.
Condo was fantastic, had everything we needed. View and location was great. Right next to elevator, but never heard any noise. The beach area never got overcrowded, we did get some pretty good snorkeling in right there. Check in with AA Oceanfront Rentals was so easy and they were so nice. They checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We did speak to the owner, Mike, once and he was great. Thank you for allowing me to give my family an amazing Christmas at your condo!
This property was our home for 2 weeks. The condo is lovely. We watched the sunset from the lanai every night and enjoyed the sounds of the ocean waves with our morning coffee. Excellent location for getting around the island. The only negative was having to pick up the keys at a different location.

Good location; fair cleanliness
The property is in a great location with a wonderful view. We enjoyed the ease of getting up and down from parking to the actual unit.
Both parties staying noted that the bathrooms did not appear clean and the unit could use a more detailed cleaning. When pulling out a nightstand to charge my phone, there was quite a bit of dust and debris.
We would stay again at this building, but would look for a unit with better reviews for cleanliness.

Amazing condo in Kihie
We absolutely loved our stay in this condo. The condo was very clean, had a very well stocked kitchen, and there were beach chairs, boogie boards, even a pair of binoculars available to us. And we put those binoculars to good use, watching whales every morning from the lanai while we ate breakfast. The condo is in a convenient location and the owners were so helpful giving suggestions of beaches and snorkeling spots. The beds were comfortable and there were fans available, we were comfortable the whole time. Special treat was grilling on the roof at sunset while watching whales. Thank you so much for sharing your condo!
LOVED our stay. Great location. Condo was well stocked. Owners were very responsive. Only rated the check in as a four star due to the management company. Stopped at the place per the instructions and nobody was inside (during business hours). She showed up 30 min later and said she was on break. :/ Told me I should have checked my email (I did, said key would be in the box after hours). Despite the minor hiccup the place was fantastic. Condo had some activities. Beach was OK here but very close to a lot of other ones. Would absolutely stay here again.
Menehune Shores Unit 309 is a wonderful condo in the town of Kihei on Maui's west side. 20 minutes from the airport (OGG), in the middle of Wailea and Lahaina. This was not our first stay at Menehune Shores (Kihei) and will not be the last. Unit 309 is as described and better. Clean, well stocked, GREAT communication from owners and management company. Lots and lots of information/recommendations shared beforehand by the owners who are family-oriented. Staying in Kihei we are able to support and engage the local community - the town does not feel "resort-like" and that's why we love it. Lastly, the ancient fish pond in front of Menehune Shores is amazing. Thank you to the generous owners for offering their unit to the VRBO community.
This was our first time staying in this unit, though not the first time in the condo complex itself. We love the setting and location, with its easy access to shopping (groceries, etc.), restaurants and Kahului. The condo’s situation is ideal, facing the ocean, and boasting a lovely private swimming pool, shuffle board area, lovely shoreline and sandy beach excellent for playing, swimming and green turtle watching. The condo unit itself is lovely and comfortable. The lanai, with its 180 degree views of ocean and beach, is the perfect place for enjoying meals or just relaxing. The open plan kitchen/living area, as well as the bedrooms and bathrooms (one being an ensuite) are all tastefully appointed and comfortable. The small laundry room has an excellent washer and dryer. During the day we could leave the street side door open (with screen door closed) and enjoy the breezes drawing from the lanai with its huge glass patio door which we kept open 24/7. We never needed to use the A/C. We spent the whole month of January enjoying this “winter” getaway. We’ll be back next year. The managers and rental company were pleasant, prompt and helpful!

Nice oceanfront condo!
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!
The location and amenities of this property have something for everyone. Turtles were right there on the beach every day! The fishpond is shallow and great for those new to the ocean waters. The beach to the north is ideal for playing in the waves with soft sand and an easy slope. The beach to the south is great for shell hunting and long walks. All within steps of the property. For those not into salt water, the pool is relaxing and warmed by the sun! The unit is clean and has enough separation between bedrooms that you can't hear others snore! The AC was a huge bonus and the couch is very comfy. The rental staff (where you get the keys) were super helpful. Things to know - the beds are actual mattresses, not memory foam. They are comfy, but I know my son and his wife were surprised. I would suggest it's time to invest in some new sheets, they are a bit worn, and a real table (currently a folding one) for the lanai, but none of this dampened our vacation. The whale information center next door was informative as well. I'm already looking for open dates to return, great place, great price, great time.
First the positives:
The location on Maui and in Kihei allows easy access to so many parts of the island. It was a great launching point for our Maui stay!
Within the property this unit is a GREAT location. Very close to the elevator, good view of the pool and fishing pond, close to shuffleboard courts. Good sunset view (although we went to the roof too).
The unit is well appointed with the kitchen and other items.
Our 2 critiques:
1) The back sliding glass door doesn't work properly and it was frustrating. I booked this property 14 months in advance, and even at that time there were year old reviews complaining about the sliding door getting off its track and not closing properly. That means this is a 2+ year old problem.
On day 1 it slightly got off track and I quickly fixed it I thought about those reviews and chuckled about it being no big deal. Then on day 2 the entire door got off track and we spent 15 minutes trying to lift it up and get it fixed to close again. Once we got it closed we told our kids that we all had to use the other door in the master bedroom if we wanted to go out back.
Secondly, the mattresses/bedding were average for the price of the unit. We stayed in 5 properties during this trip to the islands and this was the only one that we commented about the bedding not being great.
I would give 4.5 stars if I could. I'm sharing these 2 critiques with the hope that they can improve. Overall this is still a great location
