We had a great time at this condo! Loved that it was on the ground floor and we could walk out the patio door onto the lawn and see the ocean. It was well equipped with everything you needed for a day at the beach and lots of basic supplies were already there like spices/sauces/coffee, etc. We were a bit worried about there not being A/C but it was fine--just open the doors and let the trade winds blow through. It was a good size for two couples, and would be ideal for a family with kids as there is a man-made ocean break so the water is always calm and you don't have to worry about crashing waves or deep water.

The location was good too, it's not right in Kihei so it's a bit quieter but everything is just a short drive away. The beaches around the condo are nice for walking and watching sunsets and whales and even a few turtles came up to rest, but the best swimming/boogie boarding beaches are a short drive south. Menehune Shores (this condo) was a good home base for touring the island. The Kihei boat ramp is about 10 minutes by car, which is where many snorkel/whale watching tours leave from, so that was handy too since you have to be there at the crack of dawn. (Highly recommend Redline Rafting for a great snorkel adventure!) There is also an Indian restaurant on site, which we never got to, but heard good reviews. We bought most of our groceries at costco (20 minutes away near the airport) and cooked at the barbecues by the pool which was a great way to meet people and save a few bucks too. Although I could have ate shrimp tacos at Freds Mexican Cafe everyday too and would have been happy :) Overall a great stay! One week was not enough!
