About this property

Just steps to the Beach. Full Air. Menehune 505. Hotel Zoned.

The first photo in this listing is YOUR VIEW from our 5th floor lanai. We believe it is one of the best 2BR views in the building. The second photo is a map showing our location compared to several other places including the Airport which is much closer than West Maui. Menehune Shores is built and zoned as a hotel. We have wonderful restaurants, Luau's, shopping, golf, pickle ball (walking distance) and access to a nearby harbor that has all the normal excursions usually found in Hawaii. Malls, big box stores and discount stores are available 25 min north near the airport. Very Important: Our building is also built and zoned as a hotel with all the appropriate safety features.

Our second home features 2BR/2BA, Full A/C, full kitchen, off-street parking for one car, overlooking the Pacific Ocean so you can enjoy the sunset every evening right from your condo. There’s a King size Sleep Number bed in the front Oceanside bedroom and (2) singles that can be made into a king in the second bedroom. Both bedrooms have black-out curtains available. Each bedroom and the main living area have their own Mitsubishi Mini-split A/C unit with individual controls for each. There are two flat screen TV's, a DVR with streaming, private very fast WIFI, washer/dryer, dishwasher, and all full size kitchen appliances. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the cooking gear you will need and an ample supply of dishes, glasses and silver-ware, toaster, mixer, rice cooker coffee pot, Kurig and ice maker. If you want, you can even use our cloth napkins (with rings) and place mats to set a very nice table. The glass top table inside seats 4 and the table on the lanai also seats 4 so there is plenty of seating and space for everyone to choose. We provide (6) beach towels and a few beach items including coolers and sand toys for the kids. There is a PaknPlay and booster seat for your use as well. Off-street parking for one car is included and we have an excellent Indian restaurant (with a small bar) that overlooks the water on the first floor.

Your home-away-from home is just s few steps from the heated pool and the beautiful Pacific Ocean. No roads to cross and no stairs to navigate. Three elevators and ADA ramps throughout insure that everyone will be able to enjoy every amenity we offer including the beach. One elevator even goes to the roof where you’ll find a beautiful BBQ, outdoor eating area and a panoramic view you’ll remember forever. A second BBQ and eating area is conveniently located next to the pool and beach.

The building supports energy sustainability with a solar heated pool and a large solar array on the roof that provides enough electrical power to supply all of our common element needs. Though we don't have EV charging stations on the property yet, there are several in the area.

Menehune Shores is right on the water with typical Maui sand beaches. It’s in a family-friendly, relatively quiet part of Maui but just a mile from shopping and restaurants.

Bring your binoculars so you can watch Humpback Whales in season, easily keep an eye on the kids at the pool, our sheltered beach and enjoy the gorgeous Maui sunset every evening....All right from our lanai (porch).

65 to 85: Why was this location chosen by the Royals of old Maui as their home? Perfect weather. Our high and low temperatures are almost always 65 degrees and 85 degrees - year around.

Please see the Rules and Policies section for our rental agreement. When you request a booking, we will send you a copy with instructions on how to approve our agreement. Once that is done, we will finalize the booking and you can start packing!

Kihei is on the sheltered dry side of Maui and just 25 min. from the airport, not 90 min. like many other locations on Maui. The most convenient west-facing beach you will ever find.

Ma’alaea harbor is 5 min away and features a full range of activities including snorkeling and dinner cruises as well as whale watching in season. It also features The Maui Ocean Center (aquarium), a new activities and several restaurants. Plus Maui Golf and Sports park (Mini golf, bumper boats, Extreme trampoline and rock climbing).

We are on a beautiful two mile long white sand beach but some of Hawaii’s world-class beaches and snorkeling areas are just south of us and if you love the high surf, the fabulous north shore is about 30 min away. Night life and shopping in Ka’anapali is also available.

We offer a fully updated condominium with all of the features you expect. In-unit washer/dryer, all tile floors and excellent natural cooling plus A/C … located on the 5th floor, north wing of the building. Please see the amenities list for more info.

The park-like grounds feature a heated pool, beach, restaurant, roof area with BBQ, whale watching and gorgeous sunsets, off-street parking and a quite environment.

Our reviews say it all. Please check them out. You deal exclusively with us - the owners, not a broker, allowing us to provide you the very best service and value - personally. We’ve owned this unit (505) since 1999. Once you arrive, our on-call local professional management company is available if there are any issues with the condo. But we are always available by phone, text or e-mail. We want to be sure that every minuet you spend in paradise is spent on your terms. Mahalo.

Amazing place to stay

The unit is great, the view and beach even better. Unit was clean and had all the essentials for a great stay. The main bed and blackout curtains made all the difference. The view from the lanai is incredible. The pool was clean and never too busy. The beach is perfect for young children, where it's gentle and shallow. Turtles on the rocks every single day swimming around was icing on the cake.

Excellent property - GREAT VIEW!!

The condo was perfect, very clean, and had everything we needed. Owner was very helpful with recommendations for our first stay in Maui. If we ever get to go back, we will definitely stay here again. Loved that there was a Keurig coffee maker too! The pool and beach are just steps away, which made for staying in quite nice on the days we didn't explore. Excellent dining right in the complex as well as close by. Would recommend this place with high marks.

Great stay in Maui

Loved this location and property. Rooftop view was amazing, nice pool, steps to beach, and wonderful view from balcony. Communication was great, condo was well equipped, beds in bedrooms were comfortable. Our son said the sleeper sofa was not comfortable but I believe that is stated in the property description. Would still be fine for a child. They were very kind to work with us on check out as we had a later flight. We would definitely stay here again!

Paradise in Kihei

This property was fantastic. We could not have asked for anywhere better to stay. The condo was fabulous and outfitted with everything you would need to enjoy a stay in Maui. The park right next door allowed for viewing the sea turtles lounging on the rocks during the day and coming onto the beach in the evenings. The only bad part was having to leave. If we ever return to Maui, this is the only place we want to stay. Thanks for a great vacation spot and for allowing us to use your paradise getaway.

The little things

Amazing!

First the windows are so clean- when I walked in the unit looking at ocean I didn’t think there was glass there! View is better than photos. I lived walking down to the little quiet secluded beach both early morning and sunset. Ocean water was perfect. (Wind started about 2pm ever afternoon so morning swims were better for us) condo had everything needed. Very please. Owners are great with communication, ideas, and thought of so many things (like including beach toys, adding beach towels, kitchen has nice pans to cook in, and so forth) Would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Jim and Diane Ogann

Host profile image
We are from the Midwest have grown children. We have owned this unit since 1999 and have completely renovated it. We enjoy using it when it isn't rented and usually get over to Maui every year to make little additions and insure it is ready for your stay. We hope that you will enjoy our second home as much as we do. You will find guest books in the unit that include the comments our previous guests have left and a photo of our family. Mahalo (thank-you) for looking.

Why they chose this property

Maui is one of the best places to vacation in the world and this area is one of the best on Maui. It is quiet, dry and close to everything. Winter or summer the temperature is almost always between 65 and 85F. The Ancient Hawaiian Royals chose this part of the island to live and built the fish pond that is still there today in front of Menehune Shores. Menehune is unique in that it is right on the water. 150 steps from our unit to the Pacific. No streets or parking lots to cross so you can send the kids to the pool and watch them from your lanai. Our unit faces west and north so we have the sunset view and the cool shade while overlooking the pool, the ocean and the park-like grounds. Our 5th floor vantage point allows us to whale watch right from our lanai so bring your binoculars.

What makes this property unique

We have many friends here and the complex is staffed by an excellent on-site team that can take care of any issues that arise. (Mauimenehunealoha dot com) That applies to both owners and guests. This extra advantage provides you with the peace of mind that your stay will not be interrupted by issues that are not addressed immediately. For first-time condo guests, this is especially important. Our unit has everything we need to entertain guests and we visit frequently to insure it is all in tip-top shape.
