Great place to stay. Has everything you need for trips to the beach (towels, coolers, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc). Beautiful ocean view and can whale watch right from the balcony! Condo was clean and the host was helpful and quick to respond to our inquiries. Can't wait to visit again!
Wonderful place to stay in Maui! So easy to get in and out in every direction and so close to Safeway grocery store and other places. Condo was super cozy and clean! Condo is updated and has everything you need to make your vacation one to remember. Additionally, the communication with owner was excellent!
We booked this apartment for the sunset view, and it delivered 100%. On top of that, the place was filled with everything we might need to take full advantage of the location: beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling gear, body boards. The apartment was clean and comfortable, with a full kitchen and washer and dryer. We left the bedroom door open to get a cross breeze at night which made up for the lack of a/c.
View! View! View! The sunset view is exceptional. It was very clean and everything was in a good condition. The host promptly responded to all questions. The internet was fast. It became erratic for a couple of days but it wasn’t the host’s fault at all. For parking, one should go to the office and register to ensure that nothing unfortunate happens.
We loved this rental! The view from the Lani was spectacular! We watched sea turtles swim around in the ocean and snorkeled with them a few times. The rental was clean and well stocked. The only downfall was no ac. It would be nice to have an air conditioning unit in the bedroom. I would highly recommend this rental.
The views were amazing...better than the pictures. The location was great. The rental had beach items, coolers, ice packs, and lots of cookware. There is no air conditioning. Even with the great breeze, it was HOT in August.
We enjoyed a wonderful time in Kihei and the apartment had everything we could wish for. Gorgeous sunsets and ocean views. Very relaxing and beautiful stay.
This is our second stay at a Menehune Shores property and it won’t be our last. The views, the immediate beach access, and the central location make it ideal.

Clean, pleasant and up-to-date interiors. Out-standing views from the balcony of the ocean, beach and sunset. A good walking beach and calm, wave-free swimming beach.

We love those beach walks😍 Thank you for coming and enjoying paradise! Come again anytime.
We loved the property- the owner was wonderful to deal with. It was perfectly equipped. The views were spectacular. The only downside was a road got washed out due to storm so the traffic was bad getting to the area but totally uncontrollable
