Great place! Everything we expected. Best walking beach. Close to everything but far enough away from the crowds to be comfortable. I would recommend to others. Thx

This unit was perfect for us. Clean, well equipped and a gorgeous view. We found the staff very warm and friendly . We especially enjoyed the rooftop BBQ. While windy, the sunset was unbelievable , and we had a few BBQ's up there , made even more fun by a group that had an evening "conch blowing ritual"

We had a fantastic time here at #604 Menehune Shores and are very thankful for your generous hospitality. Highlights of our trip included a beautiful drive on the road to Hana, relaxing at your beautiful shoreside pool and finding unexpected treasure in the reef at Little Beach!

We enjoyed staying in your condo very much! All your little 'extras' are what make this place more amazing than it is! We had several other family members staying in other units in the complex but everyone was surprised at the moderness and all the extras we had! Thanks again for everything!

We want to thank you for a great stay. It's always a tough call to decide between poolside or beach every day! This is my third time in Maui since 1988. It was a great time for the whole family with tons of good memories! Mahalo

We had a great trip here in Maui and hope to return sometime in the near future! We loved the ocean beaches and all of the activities Maui provides (snorkeling trip, church concert, zipline, luau, paddle and boogie boarding). It was great and we really enjoyed the hospitality of your condo. We really had a great time and hope to come back again. Thanks for letting us stay in your little slice of paradise!

We just got back from Maui and LOVED IT!!! I always wondered at the thought of the people that love a place so much that they return again and again ... we had never been some where that called to us like that ... now we have Maui! We will contact you in the future to rent from you again. Your condo was perfect for us with kids and the extra provisions were great! Thanks for your generosity and all the tips.

Lynn & Murray We are now back from our Hawaii vacation. Just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed staying in your condo. We have stayed at many condos throughout the world and yours was by far the best equipped. The beach chairs, the cooler, and kitchen condiments and supplies were all put to good use! The view and the grills on the roof were wonderful. Thanks, Rick

Date of Stay: 11/07/10 Review Submitted: 11/25/10

This trip was given to me by my wonderful girlfriend (now fiancee) for my 30th Birthday. We got engaged the first night in Maui! The condo is fantastic. They even have things for the beach so you don't have to bring them from home, snorkel set, body boards, surf boards, towels, beach chairs etc. Excellent setup! Nice to have A/C in each room. The condo was very clean and well maintained. The sunsets from the lanai were fantastic, and they are right, every night is a different sunset. This condo is close to everything without all the noises, you can hear some from the street, but not as much as if you stayed in other places/cities on Maui. The Indian restaurant downstairs is very tasty as well. Definitely a reasonably priced condo in Maui. I have recommended this place ever since, and hope to come back soon!! p.s. The links on your other website were fantastic! (car rental and Eskimo Candy to name a couple)

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at your lovely condo. The lagoon was perfect for our 21 month old little girl Taylor, who took in the beach as often as she could. When we asked her if she liked it here, there was an enthusiastic 'Yah' and a lot of clapping! We would certainly recommend this place to others. Thankyou for sharing your piece of paradise.

This property was the perfect selection for our maui trip. The owners were great from the begining with communication and detailed infomation about the property. The condo was very nice, and with a beautiful ocean sunset view every night you cant beat. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The location is perfect for anyone coming to scuba dive, surf, snorkel, golf, etc. with all these within minutes of the condo. Plenty of great restaurants very close.

Thanks so much for the great hospitality! Our first week in Maui we stayed on Kaanapali, so our second week in Kihei was a bit more mellow but a change we enjoyed. The condo was well equipped and located near some great beaches & snorkle spots. Again, thanks so much!

Lynn & Murray, Thank you so much for the use of your condo and all amenities. We felt very much at home while here at our home base. We were gone everyday for the most part but really enjoyed coming back to recharge our batteries and a leisurely breakfast. Friday we stayed around all day and just relaxed. Watched whales from the deck and enjoyed the day. We recommend the Menehune Shores restaurant for a really enjoyable meal. We wouldn't hesitate to come back. Mahalo

We've really enjoyed using your well-fitted condo. The beach umbrella, boogie boards, chairs & coolers were just the best! The view every morning was a delight. The pool area, rooftop & Indian restaurant were all great to use often. We truly had a restful time with leisurely coffee/tee mornings & afternoon naps between long days of exploratory road trips & beach days. We'll have fond memories of our visit to this completely beautiful - everywhere you look island. Thanks and Mahalo

Maui Experience

Guest: Snuba (Canada)
Date of Stay: 12/05/09 Review Submitted: 12/22/09

Overall we enjoyed the accommodations. The view is breathtaking. Barbeques on the roof and by the pool were a nice touch. Beach necessities - towels, boards etc were all there. Pretty well all the cooking utensils were provided - even a teapot and kettle. The Monsoon Indian restaurant which is located in the building is definitely a good place to eat. Certainly the price in this restaurant is fair and you can even bring your own wine - they supply the glasses. The elevator in the building is very fast. However, there were a few things that could be improved on : The frypan is starting to warp which creates cool spots when cooking. The rest of the pans and pots etc were fine. The dishwasher ( relatively new ) was not useable even though a repairman came. With 4 people in the party many dishes were created and thus had to be washed. We didn't come to Maui to do dishes every night - that was disappointing. The dryer belt is starting to squeak which is noisy. The property as a whole was clean and well maintained. Also, the air conditioner unit is located on the balcony which when running just about makes it unbearable to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view in peace. In order to sit outside in peace one has to shut off the air conditioning. To be fair, there is no where else to put it. Also, because the unit is located close to a main road traffic can be heard.

Owner response:Thank you for your review. As owners, we welcome feedback so we can ensure a memorable vacation in a comfortable environment. The condominium is refreshed twice a year by the owners to address any improvements suggested by guests; any other appliance technicalities are immediately serviced immediately by repairmen. The following issues have been addressed and repaired: -Frypan: a replacement frypan has been purchased. -Bosch Dishwasher: the computer control board was found to be faulty and replaced by a service repairman. We apologize for the waiting time of parts that were shipped from North America. -Dryer: the dryer belts have been replaced. We suggest that guests limit the amount of laundry per wash and not overload the washer/dryer. -Air Conditioner: The complex, Menehune Shores, has installation codes for the placement of air conditioning units, for which we are in full compliance. For the few condominiums in the complex that have the luxury of air conditioning units, the set-up is identical. The majority of guests (including the owners) use the air conditioning during the evening to facilitate a proper sleep. A trade-off can be made by guests during the day by opening up windows in the lanai and kitchen to facilitate cooling in the condo from the ever present trade winds. -Traffic Noise: Menehune Shores is one of the few complexes that is situated on beachfront property. With all Kihei vacation properties, a certain amount of commercial or traffic noise is expected; our unit has minimal traffic noise and tranquility. Thank you for your positive criticism.

Maui is so beautiful! Thank-you so very much for allowing us to stay in your suite. The ocean view is very beautiful! As I sit out on your lanai at 6 am having my coffee, I have never known such peace and beauty as I watch the ocean waves roll in. Maui has touched my heart dearly and I fell in love with the sunsets, the water, beaches and coral reef snorkeling... The rooftop view is great for barbeques and supper views! I hope to return soon. Thank-you for sharing this place on earth with us! Mahalo
