The Menehune property is located in Kuau Point, a residential sea-side outcropping near Paia, on Maui's well-loved North Shore. It is a quick walk to the Kuau Channel for sunset relaxation or advanced windsurfer's launch to sail with the locals. Beginner and intermediate windsurfers can drive to Kanaha Beach, with sand, shade and lessons!! Traveling with little ones? Menehune House is a short walk over to the tide pool beach in front of Mama's Fish House. This charming “beach house” style home offers three bedrooms (1 king and 2 queen size beds) and two full baths along with a well equipped kitchen boasting a Viking gas stove and an island, great kitchen for sharing meals with your family! Open beam ceilings, original hardwood floors throughout, open flow between kitchen/dining/living. A/C unit in each bedroom and living room; ceiling fan throughout. The house feels reminiscent of Paia's plantation days!

The Menehune House features a small private yard and outdoor shower set in a tropical garden setting. Enjoy meals outdoors with the outdoor dining furniture and gas BBQ. The property also offers a one car garage perfect to store your boards and sails as well as a detached laundry room and parking for up to 2 cars. Beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler are provided for your relaxing beach days. And of course, we hope you'll leave your work at home, but just in case, there is a Wifi connection.

You are a short stroll away from the Kuau Store deli, trendy and convenient, healthy food to go, groceries and even Expresso!! Open 6.30am - 7pm daily. Walk through the neighborhood to the #1 rated beach front restaurant on Maui, Mama's Fish House.
In just a couple of minutes by car you are at Ho'okipa beach for more windsurfing & surfing action, or relaxing on the beautiful sandy beach to watch it all happen! Advanced kiting launch nearby. Just 15 minutes from Kahului Airport (OGG), and centrally located to many other Maui attractions, such as seeing the sunrise from Haleakala crater or driving the beautiful winding road to Hana.
The middle of Paia town is just a couple of minutes (by car) to the west of Menehune House. Paia is the home of Mana Foods for fresh organic one-stop shopping, and a splendid mix of restaurants, coffee-shops, trendy boutiques, bank, and post office.

We loved our stay

This little house was perfect for us because we wanted to be a part of the paia neighborhood. The house is thoughtfully laid out, comfortable and full of warm touches: the outside shower, useable kitchen, and I loved the cross ventilation the windows provided. The market has everything and it's yummy. The beach next to mama's is the best secret spot. Thank you Cathy for being prompt and responsive and Norm for such a spotless cleaning job.

Beyond expectations

The pictures actually do not do the property justice. Quiet neighborhood, beautiful well appointed interior with everything you would need. Perfect backyard for morning coffee while watching the birds. Four minute walk to Mommas beach where you can view turtles and relax for as long as you want. We found this location to be perfectly located to experience everything Maui has to offer. We also met the owner of the property who was so kind and talked enthusiastically about how she made this home away from home so special!!

Great Maui Experience

Such a wonderful secluded quiet Hawaiian experience- beautiful location right on the road to Hana and near the quaint town of Paia. Everything in the home was perfect for our adult family of 5. We used and enjoyed everything. Tons of fun was had at the ocean’s tidal pool- a perfect place to swim, sun & enjoy watching the giant turtles. The outdoor tub was unique and a perfect place to Star gaze. There was even a little corner store within walking distance with tons of great merch, & delicious food, coffee & wine at reasonable price and a well stocked Safeway only 5 miles down the road. Do yourself a big favor & book this place if you can!

What a wonderful home in a great location

Me and friends honestly couldn’t have asked for a whole lot more. We were in town for a friend’s funeral, and having this place to commemorate him while we were bustling around the island made everything a lot easier. The home was clean and ready for us, with plenty of the things you’d want to have a good time in Maui. One criticism: the tub didn’t put out any hot water, and that was after trying for about 5 minutes. Not a huge deal, but it would have been nice.

Great Property

The house is well located, very clean, very well stocked, well groomed small yard with tropical plants all around. We had read reviews about a Tide Pool within walking distance and it did not disappoint. There were turtles on the rocks the first time we were there, turtles on the beach the second visit and very rough waters with big splashes and no beach another time. Although it isn't real large, the spa tub. was also very nice. Be sure and keep your doors closed to keep the little Maui pests out. If we ever get back to Maui we will definitely plan our trip around Menehune House being available!!

Lovely little house in a great location but

The house was well decorated, well stocked and well kept and VRBO photos/description accurate and we had a lovely time. But felt a tad claustrophobic as neighbor houses are very close on 3 sides. Could barely see the sky. We were disappointed in the lack of a lanai or any other outdoor living space except a round metal umbrella table and 6 uncomfortable metal folding chairs which sat on a concrete pad surrounded by sharp gravel and rough pavement right by the front door (w/b much nicer if this was a grassy area with lounge furniture). Would have appreciated at least a few outdoor chairs in the tiny "back" yard where there is a little pod of grass and a patch of sky.

Beautiful, Charming, Perfect

We were so thrilled when we arrive at this charming Paia beach house and upset that we had to leave so soon! This house and property is very beautiful and exactly what you need for a small family. My wife could not stop talking about how cute the place was, bonus points for me! This magical oasis is filled with fruit trees and there is even a in-ground tub outside which just calls for a romantic evening! If you are a surfer is it a perfect spot in between Baldwin Beach and Ho'okipa, only a 5 min drive to either location. Paia town is also very close(~8-10 min). You can walk to Mama's Beach from the place which is great for the kids since it has a very large and nice tidal pool. Just make sure that you make a reservation for Mama's Fish house about a year in advance :). We met Steve, the owner, who is very nice and welcoming. He and Anne (the property manager) are readily available and will make sure that your stay is nothing but excellent. We had nothing but an excellent stay, we will be coming back. Highly recommended. Until then - Mahalo Nui Loa!

Wonderful vacation

This was a lovely house and we had a great time. Lovely hang out spots outdoors, as well as ample space inside for a group of five. Hosts were communicative and easy going. Really appreciated everything and the location was great also, walking distance to the beach for morning sunrises and right next to a wonderful store and coffee shop. Five stars all around, with one small note about the outdoor hot tub. It’s really an indoor Jacuzzi that needs to be filled every time you want to use it, and there is a note that says there may not be enough hot water to fill it from the solar heating system. It’s also smaller than we thought -for about two people. Since there were five of us, we didn’t even try it, though we had been looking forward to having a hot tub. It may have worked just fine, and would probably work for a couple or a smaller group. For us it seems like a lot of work, and possibly a little bit wasteful with water and taxing on the heating system to get five people in so I can’t speak to that amenity. Otherwise, five stars, and everything was fantastic! Thank you!

North Shore Gem

I did not do a lot of research about the different areas of Maui before booking but I'd stay around the North Shore again! Quiet neighborhood, short walk to a private little tide pool beach with great snorkeling and huge sea turtles and the local store/deli was also a short walk with fantastic food and drinks. The rental had everything we needed and the outdoor shower was a nice bonus!

A Wonderful Place for All Ages

We were in Maui with our son, daughter in law and our 2 year old granddaughter. The house was so lovely, with a large, open area for the LR, DR and kitchen and then 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. It was furnished nicely and was very comfortable. There was a yard and outdoor shower, and best of all, a 5 minute walk to a great small beach. Every day, we spent part of the day at the beach, feeling very lucky to share the beach with a few huge turtles. The house is in Paia, which is a small, cute town with Mama's Fish Market for dinner and a small store near the house which had lunch and a little of everything else. We all loved staying there and look forward to coming back again next year.

Wonderful!

Hawaiian charm! Great Paia location. Loved this cottage style house! Even took pictures because I'd like to build it waterfront back on Cape Cod. Outdoor shower was a huge hit. 5 of us and house was set with plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, etc. We stayed 3 places on Maui and this was by far our favorite, even ranked higher than the direct waterfront house. I am a rental owner and my standards are very high. If you want a bungalow, true Hawaiian experience I can't recommend this home enough.

Lovely & Comfortable!

We were 4 adults and 1 child staying for 5 nights. This was definitely a home away from home and was very comfortable. The owners/managers really have taken great care to provide all that visitors need - everything from a rice maker, to EO soap to great bedding....so many great amenities! The surrounding garden on the property was private and beautifully maintained. We especially enjoyed the outdoor tub and shower, which became our evening ritual after long days at the beach. The house was quite hot during the day even with the fans going, but cooled off some at night. AC in all the bedrooms would make it even better (currently only in 1 bdrm). With a corner market and access to a beach within walking distance, it's a great location. When we visited there was also a plentiful amount of water toys (boogie boards, fins, snorkel/masks, chairs, umbrellas, etc). We'd definitely return to this lovely house.

Great house and location for north shore excursions

We stayed at this house the first two days of our visit to Maui before moving on the Ka'anapali. We would have booked for more days if we knew how nice the property was and how nice Paia is. The house is a great starting point for the Road to Hana and a trip up the crater. A number of great beaches for surfing just around the corner. We loved the Paia Fish Market, which is only a couple mins away and has excellent fish tacos and fish & chips. Also, a quick walk to Kuau Store for great coffee and a great selection of Craft Beer and wines. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
