SUMMER SPECIAL! PREMIER PANORAMIC OCEAN FRONT RETREAT UNIT 519

Aloha,

We understand that some of you are concerned about visiting our paradise amidst these unfortunate circumstances. However, we want to assure you that we still warmly welcome you here. Your time and effort in helping our beautiful island recover would be immensely valuable and allow you to enjoy the tranquil beaches of South Maui.

It's important to note that all restaurants and shops are open, ready to serve you. This vacation could allow you and your family to create meaningful, lifelong memories. Moreover, your visit would greatly contribute to the much-needed support of our local economy.

Thank you for considering this invitation. Your compassion, generosity, and presence can make a difference in the lives of those affected by the fires. We are grateful for your support and look forward to hosting you in our beautiful corner of the world.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Malinee

Imagine spending your days surrounded by ocean views that will melt your heart. All the hard work that you have done to get here will now pay off.

Our luxury beachfront unit 519 will make your vacation memorable for years to come. Whale watching from your lanai, being serenaded by the crashing waves, all while being cooled by steady tropical breezes throughout the day. Waking up with your favorite coffee or enjoying your favorite glass of wine in the comfort of your modern living room, or on your private lanai will literally wash your worries away. Pack your things and get ready for your dream vacation!! Maui Paradise Menehune Shores unit 519 is ready for you! Let the stunning views, overall comfort and the island's Aloha spirit transport you to a place where stress isn't allowed to exist.

We have added air conditioning to both bedrooms and in the living room for those warm days in paradise! We recommend turning off the air conditionings to fully appreciate the tropical breeze. Opening the windows & sliding glass doors to enjoy the sounds of the Pacific Ocean while spoiling yourself in beautiful paradise...that's the reason you are here...

Menehune Shores is an oceanfront complex in a low density, peaceful area of Kihei, twenty minutes from the airport between Maalaea harbor and Wailea. Truly oceanfront, the complex is adjacent to a protected swimming and snorkeling beach and also the five mile long Sugar Beach which extends from the property north to Maalaea, and is perfect for long morning and sunset walks.

A heated pool and BBQ area are located in the tropically landscaped seaside grounds, and a rooftop BBQ and dining area provides stunning views of the ocean, Haleakala, the West Maui Mountains, Molokini, Kahoolawe, and Lanai. It is an ideal place to watch for whales in the winter and relax and enjoy Maui's breathtaking sunsets each and every evening of the year.

It sits next to the historic 16th century royal fish pond of Kalepolepo. The property is an excellent location for stunning sunsets, swimming, romantic beach strolling, and seasonal whale watching.

The complex is located minutes away from shopping and dining areas that will take care of all your vacation needs. Public tennis courts are 5 minutes walking distance from the condo.

Old but good location
If I could give a 3.5 I would. Here’s the rundown. 1. It’s old and a little outdated. If you don’t mind outdated furniture and carpet-ignore this part. The positive-all appliances seem new! Also, old doesn’t mean dirty! Everything was clean. 2. The patio has an air handler on it (not pictured). The very hot air and noise makes the patio nearly useless. BUT-without it the condo would be unbearably hot, so it is what it is. 3. Ants. I messaged the property manger about the situation and she said it’s a tropical area and just comes with being here. She prefers to not use harsh chemicals and the pest control company was just there. Well, spend 5 minutes in the kitchen and you’ll see that this is more than a small issue. We had ants on literally anything left on the counter. They are in the cabinets and drawers. Found them in our water bottles, my purse, I mean it when I say everywhere. Gross. Now, with that, we were only there 2 nights. There is no way the issue could have been fixed for us. The property manager was responsive and was in no way rude, and we are in an old building in a tropical environment. This is probably just a common issue, but is a big no for me. This is the reason for bumping to a 3 star instead of up to a 4. Overall-great location, affordable, well stocked, and responsive host. Just an old condo with some extra Hawaiian character.

Lovely—but maintenance issues
This is a lovely property. Beach is walkable but really need a car for grocery & dining out. Issues ( now resolved): We were confused getting in with code as we tried key box but needed to use touch screen. We arrived on a very hot day so needed AC. Unfortunately the unit in oceanfront bedroom was broken. We had 3 maintenance visits until repaired on our final day—thankfully it cooled off so couple in front bedroom only had one bad night. While AC was desired, and floor fan provided the second night, it was not relaxing to us to have to deal with on vacation. Also promised replacement of dining chair didn’t happen…not a big deal but more of a communication issue.

Insurance fraud
We had a great stay! This was our 10 visit to Menehune Shores and 1st in 519 as we needed a 2 bedroom…communication was great, very accurate add description, many amenities… We have great responses and reviews from our previous stays as we ALWAYS leave the unit as we receive it or sometimes better…we had a brief walkthrough with the cleaning lady, showed her that she had little to do and left her a generous tip… The carpet was older…it is an off white with dark threads marbled throughout…it had pre existing stains, not terrible, but visable and I understand as I have similar in my home… I received an email that the insurance protection I purchased was being used and charged for carpet cleaning…shouldn’t be a big deal as it wasn’t coming out of my pocket however insurance fraud doesn’t sit well with me nor should it anyone… The owner apologized and stated she had it steam cleaned the day before we checked in. Common knowledge, old stains WILL AND DO reappear after the carpet dries. The carpet was neither wet nor damp as we ALWAYS remove our shoes at the entry way… I am disappointed in her attempt at commuting insurance fraud for her own benefit and urge you caution when considering this unit as we know not the limit or lengths she’ll take to upgrade at the renters expense… Never again will we consider this unit. I have submitted proof and pictures to the insurance company, VRBO, and the property as warning.

Relaxing paradise!
We had the most wonderful stay! Condo is incredibly well stocked with everything we needed and then some. It is just as pictured and so comfortable. We spent a lot of time watching whales from the lanai. Close enough to everything we wanted to do- less than 10 min to south Kihei beaches, restaurants and shopping, 15 min to Wailea. 15 min to the harbor for boat/snorkel tours. The beach out front is gorgeous. We had the most incredible trip!!

Lovely stay
My friends and I had a great stay at your unit. It is well maintained, clean, quiet and you obviously take pride in ownership. I would suggest a couple of things- a box of Kleenex tissues would be a simple and inexpensive addition, second, the front door probably could use some minor attention because it does not close on its own (you have to pull a bit to get it closed) and finally, you need to have a degree in rocket science to successfully operate the television, even with the printed instructions. I hasten to add that none of these things had any impact on our visit, just some casual observations that we noted. Otherwise, we were very pleased with our stay and would come back on another occasion assuming you would have us. Mahalo and aloha, Dennis Morrissey and Bob and Maggi Cathey.

It was super easy to book and access the condo. It was close to shopping and restaurants. The small beach adjacent was nice to enjoy one morning.

The beach and view are great but the condo needs to be upgraded, still in the 70s. It was a mix leading. The doors don’t close front and patio. We had to put cardboard in the corners of doors and windows because it make a lot of noise when the wind blew. Also, the kitchen had bucks, perhaps, the cleaning charge should be returned to me.

Slice of Heaven
This is our second stay at Menehue Shores and first in this condo. This was a family trip celebrating multiple retirements. Malinee was excellent as a property manager to communicate with and was able to meet all of our needs including arranging packages we provided in multiple condos. Mahalo Malinee. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and a new dishwasher was installed while we were there. The views are a slice of heaven. We were able to walk the beach and snorkel daily. You will sea turtles daily in the King’s Bath, and we were lucky enough to see a monk seal resting in the bath. That was a first! The air conditioning works amazingly. You need to make sure the lanai sliding doors and windows are shut tight or it won’t turn on. Our first half of the stay are family members preferred it, but the last part of our stay we opened everything wide open and listened to the ocean at night. The trade winds were stronger then we remember this time around. Great for sitting on lanai and no need for air, not so great for snorkeling. I recommend getting out early to snorkel. Snorkeling with white caps is not recommended. We love the feel of Kihei, a little less touristy. I recommend a trip to the ABC store, and farmer’s market on your way to Menehue Shores on Kihei Rd. On the way in from airport. There is also a bakery and Shave ice in that same little area. We stopped at Costco in Kahului for meat and other items. The only negative is the coffee pot. It is difficult to fill and leaks when you pour. A simple Mr. Coffee would be a better investment. Otherwise this condo was top notch and we definitely would stay here again! Mahalo! Recommendations: Calypso Snorkeling tour to Molokini and Turtle Town. Road to Hana via a tour. Haleakala at Sunrise followed by biking down. IAO Valley for a beautiful morning hike. Old Royal Lahaina Luau was a first this year and well worth it. Although Feast of LeLe was good too. If you want to book Mama’s Fish House book it 6 months or more out. We regret not doing that! Paia is an adorable town for shopping and Milagro’s for drinks and Mexican food. Baldwin Beach is a nice beach there. Check out Moose McGillicuddies for drinks and appetizers at sunset. Great views.

The view from this condo was perfect! There is a park/beach next door so all you see is sand, trees and beautiful ocean. The place was clean and well taken care of. Check in was easy. It was a bit of a hike into central Kihei but we hopped on the bus (didn’t have a car) which stopped just outside and it was a super quick ride into the heart of things.
