About this property
Hotel-zoned OCEAN FRONT GROUND FLOOR! Menehune Shores 121
This beautifully remodeled two-bedroom, two-bath oceanfront non- air-conditioned condo at Menehune Shores is the perfect Maui escape! Located on the peaceful ground floor, this unit offers easy walk-out access to a calm, sandy beach—just 75 steps away—and unobstructed views of the ocean, swaying palms, and neighboring islands. Wake up to this stunning view right from the master bed, and enjoy Maui’s dramatic sunsets and whale sightings (in season) from your private lanai.
Inside, the condo features a fully equipped and remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, modern appliances, and everything you need for relaxed island dining. Ceiling fans in each room and natural cross-ventilation provide cooling tropical breezes throughout the day. The unit also includes an in-suite washer and dryer for your convenience. With one king bed, one queen bed, and a twin bed, it’s the ideal setup for families or two couples.
The private lanai opens directly onto grassy oceanfront slopes and a serene beach that feels wonderfully secluded—perfect for morning walks, snorkeling, or simply unwinding by the sea. The curved horseshoe design of the building offers each unit a unique orientation, and ours benefits from soft natural lighting without direct, harsh sun exposure.
The beautifully maintained grounds of Menehune Shores include a heated oceanfront pool, BBQ area, and a rooftop deck offering panoramic views—perfect for whale watching and golden-hour sunsets. You’re also steps away from the highly-rated Monsoon Indian restaurant, located right on the property.
Menehune Shores is ideally located in quiet North Kihei, just 20 minutes from the airport and close to shopping, dining, and island adventures. Despite the devastating August 2023 fires in West Maui, our South Kihei condo was untouched and remains a peaceful haven where you can relax, recharge, and make unforgettable memories.
Indoor Features: One King size bed, One Queen size bed & One Twin size bed Fully remodeled kitchen with granite countertops and updated appliances Ceiling fans in each room and excellent natural airflow Lanai with private seating and stunning ocean views Flat-screen smart TVs, cable, and Wi-Fi In-unit washer and dryer

***DISCLOSURE 6/4/26: Menehune Shores will be engaged in a site wide roof replacement project beginning June 8, 2026. The construction project will be executed in three phases, progressing from the North third to the middle third, and concluding with the South third. While access to picnic tables and BBQ grills will be maintained during the initial two phases, these areas will be closed during the final phase. Future updates will be provided regarding section completions and roof accessibility. Mahalo for your understanding during this disruptive but necessary project.

Reviewer Comments:
This location is wonderful and we had such a great stay. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed to make the stay wonderful!
This property was beautiful! Convenient being on the ground floor. I preferred this location in Kīhei to further south as it is the more quiet part of Kehei. I would definitely book this property again!
Nice condo right on the beach. Beautiful place to take in sunsets whether on the ground floor or from the rooftop on the 7th floor. This unit had plenty of kitchen accompaniments. They also supplied coolers, beach chairs and snorkel gear. They also had conch shells for blowing at sunset with the Menehune Rooftop blowers. Not many restaurants within walking distance but there are some that were decent. At least 7 Bull grills were available for use. All in all, a very nice stay. One caution if staying here. The gas to the grills is supposed to shut down at 9 pm. We were mid cook on the grill and the gas shut off at 830 pm. They got it turned back on but it ruined that dinner.

Having a view of the beach, palms, grass and the ocean is a huge reason guests love our condo. We also hire a wonderful person to host our condo, Hope Marie, who really cares that our guests have a great stay. If need be -- she'll go out if her way to make things right. We have recently put in new appliances, flat TVs, new washer/dryer, and nicely remolded both bathrooms (which probably isn't the main reason you're coming to Maui). As owners who live on the Island and who care about the quality of the condo, we think you'll enjoy it if you stay with us. ALOHA!
The property was amazing and was well stocked in both the kitchen as well as for all supplies. We loved our stay here and the immediate access from the patio to the beach area was amazing. We would stay here again!

Fabulous, awesome review. So glad that you enjoyed staying in our Oceanfront Front Condo! Since you don't vacation everyday, you want to stay in great place with a wonderful view.
Yes, our oceanfront condo is a treasure: the view, being just steps from the beach with islands out in the distance. We have made our cozy condo so comfortable and completely upgraded inside too - so that its one of the best places to stay in Kihei, Maui.
The location of the property is wonderful. We enjoyed our time in the condo.

So glad you enjoyed our peaceful oceanfront view with a couple islands in the distance and nothing to obstruct that beautiful scene. Each time you come back inside our gorgeous, comfortable condo, I'm sure you realized how it supported your wonderful vacation in paradise.
The condo was lovely! It was great being on the ground floor with the grass and beach being right outside - along with a beautiful sunset view!We appreciated having the washer and dryer as well!

We love that you can stroll right out to the beach or a sunset view and don't have to get into an elevator. You can prop the pillows up in bed and be able to see the ocean! We're so glad that you loved our Oceanfront condo; it's a wonderful view of the ocean with the islands and palm trees in the distance.
Condo was great- very comfortable, fabulous view, close to beach. The property manager was terrific, very responsive and helpful! All in all, a great place to stay!
Their home is lovely! We did many walks along the beach to restaurants that were easily accessible.

Your excellent review of our Oceanfront Condo and its outstanding view the ocean, palm trees and islands is so wonderful. We have put so much detail into making it special because we deeply care.
Our family of four loved our stay here. The space was roomy, the kitchen was well equipped, the extras for the beach were awesome and the sunsets magnificent.

As owners, we love it when guests enjoy how nice we've made our oceanfront condo. In the last few weeks, we've made great improvements to make our condo even more comfortable, clean and good looking. - We care!
Our trip to Maui was enjoyable, but the condo really was ideal. We loved being on the ground floor and being able to walk off of the lanai to the beach. We were able to see sunsets and sunrises each day. Kihei beaches were close by and easy to access. There were plenty of fans and a great ocean breeze each evening that kept us cool. Will be back!!

We love Maui and wholeheartedly offer our wonderful oceanfront ground floor condo with a beautiful view of the ocean, palms, islands in the background as a way of giving others who visit our island a supportive experience while they are here - just 67 steps from the beach.
Great location. Right on the beach, within a short drive to eateries, convenience stores, etc.
Loved it. Will book it again given a chance.

We are so glad that you enjoyed staying in our oceanfront condo - the beautiful view, whale watching (in Jan-March), the 360 view from the rooftop BBQ, and so much more.
This was a great stop after vacationing in Kona. The Condo was close to the beach and in the center looking out over the ocean and beyond. We enjoyed our stay.
