Cant get any closer to the OCEAN!

Completely Renovated 3-bedroom Oceanfront at Menehune Shores with A/C

The view doesn't get any better than this!! Pack your suit...Menehune 518 has everything else you'll need to enjoy your Maui vacation!

This beautifully renovated upscale unit is located in South Kihei at Menehune Shores, on Kalepolepo Beach and next to the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary. Truly oceanfront with miles of beaches to explore (Kalepolepo, Waipuilani and Sugar Beach). Kekei (children) can enjoy the shallow and protected wading area near the ancient fishing pond and watch the turtles come to lay on the rock walls each afternoon. For more adventurous travelers, there is a more active beach just steps away. This quiet condo is located just minutes away from fantastic food and shopping and the hustle and bustle of downtown Kihei.

New for 2020: Brand new Ceramic Wood Plank Tile Floors throughout, no carpet. Brand new couch, 65" TV and other furnishings. Premiere property is highly maintained and obsessively clean! You won't find another unit like this in the building; Its the only one with 3-zone A/C, a reconfigured floor-plan that maximizes views and entertaining space, a full Laundry Room with full-sized machines, new flooring (no carpet) and ceiling fans in every room. No dust collecting in corners or hiding behind decor here, this unit is extremely clean and fresh for every guest, every time.

Never miss a Maui sunset when you are staying at Menehune 518. The Patio, Master-Bedroom and Bedroom-2 each have breathtaking unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, West Maui Mountains, and the neighboring islands of Kaho’olawe, Lanai and the Molokini Crater islet. The expansive ocean views and Sunsets from the unit are truly magnificent. Enjoy the sound of the waves below as you drift off to sleep.

Unit has undergone a recent remodel and much of the furnishings are new including the mattresses, linens and much of the furniture. A 3-Bedroom, 2-Bathroom Unit consisting of a Kitchen, Great Room , Master King Bedroom with bathroom en-suite, Queen oceanview bedroom with a Sleep number mattress, two twin bedroom, and a full second bathroom. Enjoy cooking on the rooftop patio, or down by the pool, with a 360 degree view of the ocean and mountains, or perhaps you'd rather cook in the fully equipped kitchen. Whatever your needs, Menehune 518 has it. Just bring your suits, we have the rest waiting for your Maui getaway.

Aloha Kai is on the 5th floor of the building, near an elevator, just left of center which offers the best views of the neighboring islands and Waipuilani Beaches. Unit does not overlook pool and is on the quieter side of the building. The only thing you will hear is the lapping of the waves below.

Fully equipped kitchen, free high speed wifi, 3 cable televisions, Large HD smart TV and Blueray/DVD player. Pack and Play and booster seat/high chair, books, toys and games for our littlest guests. All hotel quality linens and beach towels included.

The unit has a wonderful cross breeze but if you prefer A/C, the unit has a 3 zone Split system A/C in main Living area, master bedroom and Bedroom #2. Air Conditioning is rare in these units! Ceiling fans are in every room.

Menehune Shores is a well maintained building that features lush landscape, perfectly kept lawn areas with two shuffleboard lanes, a large heated swimming pool and barbecue areas both near beach and pool as well as a rooftop Lanai. “Monsoon” Indian Restaurant located at ground floor (and is quite good and a wonderful place to have a sunset dinner).

We chose Menehune Shores for it's amazing view, but also for it's central location. Staying in Kihei will allow you to enjoy so many of Maui's offerings....you are in the middle of it all. Head upcountry where the vistas seem to go on forever, take a snorkel cruise from Ma'alea Harbor, or pack a picnic and take the road to Hana to hike and explore waterfalls or the bamboo forest. It's all just a short drive away.

Please note that Menehune Shores is a non smoking property and is pet free. There is a designated smoking area on the ground floor.

The roof-top Lanai is a great place to cook outdoors on our gas grills and dining tables. From this rooftop you have a Spectacular panoramic view of the ocean, upcountry of Haleakala, West Maui Mountains, the island of Kaho'olawe, and the Molokini Island Crater. This is also a great place to watch the Humpback whales during the season. Whale Watching in Maui is November – May, with the majority of whales January – March, February being peak season.

Please note during peak season per HOA rules, one car is permitted per unit. Dec 15th-March 30


Kalepolepo Beach:
Excerpt from Maui Guide Book:

A small but lovely beach in North Kihei. This was the historical site of a thriving Hawaiian village, and is an important cultural archeological site for native Hawaiians. A portion of Kalepolepo Beach is the location of the ancient Hawaiian fish pond (Ko’ie’ie fishpond, one of three in the area) its walls protect the beach creating a calm shallow pool that is also perfect for keiki (children) or adults who prefer smooth waters.

In the late afternoons turtles often swim up onto the protected beach or on the seawall to rest for the night, swimming out the next morning. This gives daily opportunities to snorkel near and photograph these amazing creatures. Please remember to enjoy the turtles from a distance.

For more island excitement there is a near by Canoe Club that will take you on a wonderful experience of a six man outrigger canoe ride.

Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary

Located in Kīhei on the south shore of Maui, the visitor center is an ideal spot to learn about the marine environment and even see humpback whales breaching. This scenic beachfront location at the foot of Haleakalā has views of Kahoʻolawe, Lānaʻi and West Maui looking across the waters of the sanctuary.
Recently renovated, the visitor center currently showcases temporary exhibits, while permanent exhibits are still being planned for the future. There will be interpretive signs around the lanai to highlight stories of the historic Hawaiian fishpond, the scenic view, and conservation messages related to the surrounding environment. Inside, the exhibits will tell the story of marine animals and coral reefs that are found throughout Hawaiʻi. Intertwined will be displays on how native Hawaiians lived in concert with the land and sea.

Visitors to the new center in Kīhei will be able to learn about the efforts by NOAA, the State of Hawaiʻi, and others to protect humpback whales, monk seals, sea turtles, and coral reefs.
There are six world-class golf courses a short drive from Menehune Shores. The Pacific Ocean Center Aquarium, where you can view the ocean's inhabitants through a walk-through glass tunnel, is a few minutes up the road on the way to the old whaling port of Lahaina. The exclusive hotels and shops of Wailea are just south of Kihei.

We loved this property! Central location to beaches, snorkeling spots, and lots of restaurants/coffee shops. Our young kids enjoyed their own room, which was full of toys and books. Beds were comfortable and the AC units were a must-have as it was quite warm during the day. The host was very responsive and helped address some questions we had right away. We would absolutely stay here again!

Lovely stay right on the beach! The views were spectacular. 2 beaches to enjoy. The one from the deck was great for long walks and shell hunting. The beach on the right side had easy access for those, like my mother-in-law who rode a mobility scooter on the sidewalk near the pool then stepped down a few stairs and could walk on the more solid (wet) sand with her walker. (Contact Akamai Mothers and Mobility for mobility scooter rentals). We saw multiple turtles on this side of the beach. The home had everything we needed for cooking, beach fun and laundry purposes. The Keurig coffee machine used pods AND ground coffee for a large pot. Redline 5 hour Maui snorkeling tour is a must and the boat ramp is only a short drive from the home! The host was very responsive. (When checking in, press the keypad on the door slowly, if done quickly it will not register properly and not open) The pool was also clean and relaxing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. We would stay here again!

Place was awesome, and the host was great, from the time we booked until we left. I100% recommend this unit at Meneheune. Everything we needed was already there, and the balcony is perfect for sunsets & whale watching. Not too many places in Kihei have a view of the beach like this place!

Amazing Property

We have a wonderful time - the property is convenient and centrally located. The grocery store is less than a mile away, and Walmart, Target, and Costco are just a short drive. The sunsets every night did not disappoint, the kitchen was well stocked, and it was really nice to have beach chairs, cooler bags, and just about anything you would need for a day at the beach available. Thank you so much for sharing your property with us! If ever back in Maui, this would be our first pick of location.

Wonderful unit and location

I would highly recommend this unit. It is an excellent 3 bedroom which is somewhat difficult to find in Kihei. It was a great size for 6 people (us, our kids, my parents), everyone had their own bed. The view is amazing. The unit is stocked with everything you’d need. The host was exceptionally responsive. The location is before the busy section of Kihei which is nice. It’s right on the coast and next to a protected beach. We walked along the beach most mornings. We used the bbq one night for a lovely family dinner. The pool is small and we never used it.

Best decision

My children and I, decided Maui would be the best place to be when the anniversary of my husband’s death arrived. I’m so glad I could make it happen. While traveling with toddlers was a challenge at times, Maui delivered the calm and serene experience we were after. The condo was perfect, the Lanai was better than that. We sat out there at all hours of the days. It was absolutely perfect. I slept with my windows open and listened to the surf all night. The kitchen is well stocked and arranged. The rooftop is great. We grilled and enjoyed the view. And the conch blowing at sunset. The view from the lanai was perfect at all hours as well. We saw whales. We didn’t see any turtles on ground but knew they were in the water due to my son’s drone. The beach was perfect for my granddaughters. They played and played. Chad was great to work with. I would totally recommend this condo.
